NOT CHRISTIANITY, BUT POLICY


II IS not fair TO reproach Christian
ity with the slaughter Of the Jews
in Russia. That horror Is despite
Christianity, not because OF IT, In
other words, the Christianity Of the
Russian peasant is formal and not
actual.
This does not excuse the Russian
government. however, for whatever
may be said Of the Ignorance and bru-
tallty Of the "mujiks" the men who
rule the empire from st. Petersburg
are educated and Intelligent-none
are more 80.
The Muscovite bureaucracy com
prises the subtlest and most astute
statesmen in the world. Probably It
is for that very reason that the mas
sacres OF Jews have been permitted
II not actually encouraged.
Il is the policy OF the Russian gov
eminent 10 turn the thoughts Of the
people in any direction save that Of
political reform. To interest the "mu-
jik" in fairs, TO amuse him with spec
tacles and, above all, to maintain his
allegiance to the established church
and thus TO establish government
this has been the policy Of the Rus
sian since the time Of Peter the Great.
There can be no doubt that II is
in pursuance OF this policy that the
Kishineff horro has been watched with
Indifference by the military and the
police OF that district. The imperial
government argues that when the
peasant II numbering and robbing
Jews he will not be hatchiug conspi-
racies against the established order
Of things.
On the contrary, he will feel CRATE
full to a paternal government which
does not interfere with a proceeding
which gratifes at once his religious
fanatlclsm and his love OF loot. This
is no doubt a cold blooded and inhu-
man policy. but Russian policy never
has been anything else but cold blood
ed.
What the rest Of the civilized world
can or VIII do about Il remains to be
seen II is unfortunate that the skirts
OF other nations are not so clear as
TO justify indignant protest against
barbarity which disgraces humanity.
