Russia's Own Duty.

The later news from Kshineff indicates
that the appeal with which the chairman
of the Kishineff Relief Committee OF the
Osceola Club, Deputy Attorney-General
BLUMENTHAL, asked for assistance fell
short of just description of the fact;
1T Is SUFFICIENT to know that In the twentieth
century a nation making prctcnce to desire 'or
advanced civilization and enlightenment by It's
p~rs,sen, refusal to give rel sous political liberty
10 It's natives of particular faith has engendered

One of the darkest blots upon the
pages of ancient and modern history!
The spread of civilization throughout
the world, and in Russia particularly,
whose ruler has lately assumed fore
most place in confirming the influences Of
peace and humanity, makes the kishineh
massacre simply the darkest blot on
the pa ges of ancient and modern history y
A dozen lives taken in this way in the
twentieth century outweigh thousands
taken in the dark ages.
Russia ought to fine herself for this
crime by apologizing to the world and by
at once appropriating from her own
Treasury greater sum of money for the
relief of the outraged people Of kishnef

written letter to Secretary Root asking
for a personal interview to discuss the
application of the Harbor Board for the
