"No. What's it HkoV"

The poiitlo.nmi ran liis hand into liln

with ii'monogram on uno side only. IIo
linndiul it to tlio reporter , who turned It
over and over and examined it from
many &ldcs of obborvation , but failed to
catcii on to the soc'rot.
"Woll , wlint'h this got to do with a

Tlio gentleman laughed mildly. Uo
was immensely pleased at the reporter's
perplexity. ' 'My dear ft'llow , don't you

The reporter began a minute invosli-
Sration of the coin , but so perfect was
the workmanship that ho could not do *
tout any opening into the interior.
Tlio gentleman took the coin , and by
giving a quick touch upon an invihiblo

iiifr features of a lady were disclosed ,
"I never saw ono like it before. I

THE RUSSIAN POLICE SYSTEM.
Honest Polks Watched lAke Crliul j
mils A 'Jtorrihlo Instrument of *
n Despotic Ituler.
The police of Russia , says u writer in 'J
Harper's Magazine , as ii | nil nbsoluto
monarchies , Imvo 1md to coinbino the % .i
duty of preventing crime nnd watching <
over the people with Hint of supervising 'I
olllciulfi nnd protecting thogovornmont. '
Aloxiindor 1. , in imitation of Napoleon ,
mndo it n department of tlio state.
Nicholas , rollning thereon , divided it
into two fccctions the ordinary police ,
under the minister of the interior and
the secret police , under the emperor in
porbon. The latter waa n privileged
body , sibovo nil law , responsible only to -1
the emir , and with almost unlimited , "
authority. Its head was u member of
the committee of ministers , ami , by his <
intimate relations witli the sovereign
and freedom from other control , be
came the most powerful personage in
the empire. This institution WIIH preserved - r
served by Alexander U. , witli its attri
butions intnct.
Although by hiw snbjocts of the ozar
could i no longer bo arrested and con
demned without legal process , the Third ' *
beetion could boi/.o , incarcorntn or deport - '
port at will , and ovun secretly. By a "
] csuitica distinclion it did not pretend
to punish or to interfere with tlio courts
of justice against crime ; it merely sup
pressed indolinitcly individuals who
were doomed a danger to public order.
Its existence after the inauguration of
the reign of law presents an anomaly
similar to that of lotlres do cachet in -
L'Ynnco , at whicli the Icing couhl avail „ *
nt pleasure , despite the tribunals and *
statutes.
During the early years of Alexander >
H.'H reign , when Kussia fioi'ini'd pro
gressing toward a new and glorious fu
ture , it was seldom. roMirlod to. An at-
tomtit upon his life in lb'i'1 ' ' restored it to
ftivor and activity , Notwithstanding ;
it& irresponsible clm'ractor and Itn ul- \
most unlimited powers , it was worsted ' > , '
in the duel with nihilism from 1S7I ) to " ;
1878. Of its last chiefs , General Wo-
zonlsof was iissiissiiintod , ( ionoral *
Dronteln , severely wounded , rcnlgnod. ' >
Its inollicioncy caused a chungo in its
organi/.alion , n double police led at
times to absurd results , and the public
admits or ono doparlmaiit often wasted
their efforts in pursuing the emissaries
of thu other acting in secret.
After the explosion of the winter niil-
ace in 18SO the third section was abol- -
ishcd , but in nnino only ; it was removed
from the imperial chancellery and
unitud to thu ordinary police , in order ,
by giving the whole service a single
heud , to increase its ulllciuncy. llotli
departments wcro placed under G'unoral a
Loris Melikot , upon whom , ns minister ia ]
of the interiornlinoctdiotatorliil powers fl'
wore conforroii for the jiroaori'ntion of J
public order. While this change miido *
no ( ilternatlon in tlio attributions of tlio
secret police it was a slight gain in
-principle.
The third bcction was no longer
under the personal direction of tlio
czur , hut became ono of tlio depart
ments of the government , mid as such
was subject to iidministralivocontrol. ,
Tlio unreasoning violence and inouat a
strous atrocities of the radical party not * vl
only led to the revival of this tro- jl
niundoua engine of dospotiBiu with Increased -
creased jioivors , but they have ul o
turned thu wluicl of progrurs backward ,
deprived the nation of liberties accord
ed , uiul do.btroiod the hope of further
concessions for yours tocomu.
