bc-neflts of a very improved form of
government. Out of this chango de
velops a gradual rlso In the status of
the masses and ono of tho conse
quences Is a discontent. Alexander II.
of Russia emancipated 23,000,000 Kerfs
tn tho spring of 18CI, after giving all
landowners and serf masters three
years' notice to prepare for tho event
and setting his own serf rco as an
example. In 1881 the sons and daugh
ters of tho emancipated serfs, having
enjoyed tho benefit of education and
thereby discovered the wrongs of the
post and tho oppressions to which the
poor were still subject at tho hands of
the nobles and great land owners, ex
pressed their discontent by killing the
emperor who had lifted them to the
flatus of free men and women. Rus
sian discontent was fonientod by MI

splrators were arretted upon the
charge of plotting against the lifo of
Ihe emperor, and 12 of them have al
ready been executed. These terrible
blunders seem to bo unavoidable con
equences of a change In the status of
the people of any nation, but only the
superficial obhfrver could condemn all
attempts at progress because, In gov
ernments as In railroading, they In
