How little things change in this big world of ours. It was exactly 100 years ago today, on September 5th, 1898, that the Skibbereen Eagle ran its famous editorial: "We will still keep our eye on the Emperor of Russia and on all such despotic enemies, whether at home or abroad, of human progression and man's natural rights." The Skibbereen Eagle is no longer with us, but Russia is, and the eyes of the world are still firmly fixed upon it.
