TIE RETESGE or THE JEWS.
The Way Russia has beeu Made TO Suffer
for the Anti-JewIsh Riots.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 29-Jewish persc-
| cution in Russia is. for tho time being ut an
| end. Now some of the Russians are trying to
| calculate the rs ults OF the whole movement.
| and they come to n very startling conclusion.
| The Cars country counts its population at
one hundred millions. and there are but three
million Jews in Russia all told. 1T would APP
pear. then. that against every three Jews there
we're a hundred Russians. But it would DO
unfair TO- say that all the Russians arc Judo,
| journals and magazines there arc many dec-

eaten up, and fow copecks not yet pockcted,

Odessa. the russian Chicago is in state OF
great depression. 1t must be recollected that
more than half OF all the Russian graz and
other products sent abroad goes through
Odessa, and that the majority Of the agents
and consignees in that city are Jews. AS these
are now gone, trade has. become, disorganized

of the richest Russian merchants in Moscow

We earnestly advise the petitioners read the fable OF
the frogs that had stork for their king.
1t was tho jewish question that proved a
stumbling block for the late Minister Of the In
terror and the new Minister though he is
ultra orthodox. is bound to heal the Jewish
wounds caused by his predecessors policy. No
Russian would even have dreamed a short time
ago that Count Tolstoy would ever be forced to
reward Russian priests for protecting Jews
against the Infatuated mob OF the orthodox
peasants. and yet now he has done it.
BY its treacherous dealings with the question
OF the anti-Jewish riots the Cars Government
has undermined still further its authority with
the people. The peasants at first believed that
the Car would not protect the Jews. Now they
perceive that he could not do ii. and 30 they
have decided that they can do as they please
themselves. Yesterday they mohbed with i'm
punity the Jewish usurers to-day they may
mob the usurers OF their own race. and to-
morrow they may mob the Government
officials At least that is what s said here now.
The Jews ridicule both the lato and the pres
ent Minister Of the Interior for their Jewish
policy Gen. !gnatier said to q Jewish depu-
tation: Our frontier is opcn for you. Good

Jews: Our frontier is ODen for YOU. Welcome
