Abcttinc Persecution,

American friends of Russian freedom
are not silenced by the PRONUNCIATION of
the treaty with the car. They protest
as earnestly as before against compact
whose political extradition is all on one
side, We have no political crimes ez-
cert at rare intervals. Russian laws turn
hundreds Of petty words and actions in.
to crimes. From the punishment the
only escape is on forged passports, and
the treaty makes that forgery an extra
ditable offense. KEENAN, asserts that this
prc.ision alone will cover every political
offense known to the severe Russian law.
We have given Russia's government all
the assistance it asked i'll the suppression
of free speech among millions of men.
In return we get nothing, for we shall
want nothing of that sort. The United
States is not now land of the free and
a home of the brave in the estimation of
Russian republicans who have loved US.
