the same reason that these prosecutions will
not cease, just as in America there will be
no cessation of those cheaper and more in

in excluding Chinese they depart from the

Germs their skins and they trample under
foot the principles to which they render

though there is this difference: we do not
even profess equality and freedom hence
there is nothing to trample upon The Jews
are able to distance the majority in the race
for what the quasi-Christians want most,
and therefore they will be hampered in all
possible ways-hampered in the future as
now, until the quasi-Christians embrace the

Tolst0y on the Condition of the
Russian Jews

The views of Korolenko, Tolstoy and
other Russian thinkers, on the position of
the Jews affected by the recent ukase,
have been obtained by the Novost and pub
lshed. Korolenko, in his reply, demanded
absolute equality for Jews and Christians.
Count Tolstoy, in the course of his reply,
said
81 deplore the prosecutions to which the
Jews are being subjected, and regard them
not only as unjust and cruel, but as sense
less. The subject, however, does not oc-
cupy me to the exclusion of all others, or
even above all others. There are other mat
ters which stir me more deeply, and there
fore could not write anything upon it that
would greatly affect people. l think that
the ethical teachings of the Jews and their
actual daily practice are incomparably
higher than the teaching and practice of our
quasiChristian society," which accepts from
the body of Christian doctrine only the the
ories of repentance and expiation, and fan
cies that these things absolve them from
