Its continued slaughters and banishments, throws a searchlight on the discouraging difficulties besetting con stitutional reform represented by the. eleo- tlvs Duma. Autocracy and bureaucracy are so closely allied that the Interests of each ona Is upheld by the other, and both make common cause In (Wonee of the sys tem. Against this united power, bulwarked by law and custom, constitutional progress is painfully slow. Some progress has been made, however. The St. rvtersnurg cor respondent of the New Tork Evening Post, In a review of the work of the third Duma, says that body showed rare Judg ment and sagacity ln maintaining friendly relations with the csar and his ministers, approving many measures of ministerial origin and selecting others and at the same time driving homo the wedgo of legislative co-operstlon In Russian affairs. That this Important fact Is being recognised Is shown by the refusal of the Duma to sanction certain naval appropriations until the naval bureau Is thoroughly reorganised, a con dition agreed to by the naval bureau. In other ways constitutional reform Is raduallv wearing down opposition. The bureaucrats, according to the reviewer, are limited In number, while the Duma Is recruited from the whole nation. Hence the conclusion Is drawn that constitutional ism will win In time. What friends of tha cause fear most is a war. In the confusion of which the bureaucracy, always dominant In the army, would seriously retard if It wniilH nnt entirely crush out the cause of Democratic Paner Lndalges ta representative government.
