has issued an edict granting religious

t hi it-
hself'provesharx'groaf'usurpation the Rus
sian govef nment has been. This weak-minded, supersti
tious, fearsome fellow, who inherited a throne and a
crown, will forsooth graciously -allow his hundreds of
millions of subjects some freedom of religious thought
But by what right was he ever master of men's minds
and consciences, as well as of their bodies and property?
He supposes he has conferred a great and voluntary
favor, whereas he has only relinquished or -made a pre
tense of relinquishing authority that no man, however
much a monarch, ever had a particle of right to possess.
, But the edict probably does not really amount to
much. The-czar is making some nominal or apparent
concessions, in order to dampen revolutionary fires, but
as long as the civil government rules in close tonjunc
tion and alfiance with the hierarchy the czar's -boasted
boon; will be of small consequence. - ' ' ' . " . '
Meanwhile, however, the multitudes are thinking more
about their stomachs than their souls, and are clamoring
for a chance to live rather than for freer opportunity to
worship. Ciyjl and religious liberty must come hand in
hand, and neither can prevail when the state is dom
inated by a mediaeval hierarchy, -
