wounded forty years ago the nation has grown intellectually. It already has wants, and is able to think and govern its own destinies. The members of the party of free will'' dreamed of presenting the nation with free insti- tutions as a present obtained from the government in single combat. We have no such broad aims. We are much more modest. The system is already falling under the pressure of national needs which it now ceases to satisfy, and under the pressure of national dis content with it. The nation has prob lens and demands. If we followed the example of the members of the free wilI' and if we have taken to arms it Is only because representatives of government which is dying out have taken charge of the autOcratic power and have gone quite out of the bounds of humanity with their dealings with us revolutionists and the dissatisfied people. We are treated like hunted and beaten animals. For this reason We have barred our teeth and taken to arms.
 And so against the terror of the officials who have lost their heads in their actions. Death for death, wounds for wounds and dishonor for dishonor.
 "A revolutionary tribunal for the oli- garchists who are not answerable be- fore the law and the nation.
 "Consequently I state that when throwing the bomb at MT Plehve l did not think that it would fall on the existing form of government in Russia. l threw the bomb at nm as d certain in his capacity as a Russian minister (there are still many of them left) but l threw the bomb at hi mas a certain s,, position of minister of interior. MT. Plehve in fighting against national dis content had recourse to force. He committed the graVest of crimes.
 INDICTMENT OF VON PLEHVE.
 list. Plehve gave up to execution, imprisoned in the fortress and sub jected our comrades to all kinds Of tortures and punishments. He forced us to rise against him as the persecutor and murderer of the people. Balmashev and Helletch were placed on the scaf- fold Gershuni and Femkina were buried in Smsselberg fortress. Such facts We social revolutiOnists cannot but regard as crimes and the fault of these crimes lies on lthe head of the man who carried on an untruthful fight for the state.
 End. PIehve as director of the de- pertinent of police. chol1ed the party of "people's free will" by means of jails. fortresses, penal servitude, pris- ons and exile. People had no oppor- tunity of forgetting his hangman. The old time hangman again placed his white hand on the peoples necks. To speak about forgetting was only pos sible in case Plehve fried to redeem his former crimes by reforms and con- sessions during the latter part of his life
 Srd. Plehve. before the declaration of war with Japan, arranged a war in the interior of Russia. He looked on Russia as though it was a foreign country. He strewed the land with it's citizens blood. He sho- the workmen when they spoke plainly about their needs and interests.
 HE SANCTIONED. MURDER.
 Yes. for the shooting of workmen Mr. PlehVe is to blame more than any, body else. Although he did not give ihe word fire" he is guilty because the shooring was initiated by him as minister of the interi~r, and by orders Of men who fulfilled the orders of him who had appointed them. As he did not punish the governors he himself sanctioned their deeds and gave temp [ tation to other high dignitaries to act just as cruelty.
 '4th. The personal dignity of-the Russian citizens during PIehve's gov ernment was subjected to the basest humiliation, peasants and workmen were subjected to wholesale corporal punishment. Won Wahl and Obolensky received promotion and reward. Rus sian revolutionists were beaten and hu- initiated on every possible occasion in the police stations by the policemen and secret police. Russian revolution ists and citizens were humiliated and l beaten in prisons, and sometimes their position there became so unbearable that they refused food and starved ! themselves in protest against insults "5th. PlehYe put on the hungry, 1 heavy taxes. When the peaSants, driv- en to eXtremities by hungrer, want of arabic land, and subjected to the land | owners. not seeing and not expecting help from anywhere, tried to obtain bread by force so as not to die. they were answered with an increase of taxation. This was Plehve's idea of satisfying national needs In this man ner he gave them a stone instead of bread. In this manner he deprived the naked of their only shirt Plehve ex- hausted the people, spending their hard earned money on the development of the secret police in Russia and on : the protection of his own person.
 THE KISHINEFF MASSACRE '6ths P4sAESs allowed the wilful massacre -of the. kishineff Jews in the preseneez0fAth slice: Jews, old men. women and -chASren were beaten and killed. Women were insulted. the property of the poor Jews was destroy- ed and plundered. Of Plehve's parti- CiDatiOn in fbiS xK-iIf,,I .t.- foreign press and the Russian reyolu- tionary press clearly made mention. Further mention of this is made in the description of the circumstances which preceded it and which description was given in the more or less decent organs ; or the Russian press. How can we trust the information 'iven by the gov lernment? What right have. we to he ieve either it or the serviIe remarks of the Official Messenger? What right have We to believe either if or
