HELPLESS JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Are the Victims CT the Most Brutal
Of the Lowest Class of
Russians.

Discussing the condition Of the jews
In Russia the New York Times says:
"sIn such a social CONFUSION, the dregs
of society are thrown to the top and
become the scum. That is what IS
happening all over Russia. And the
impulse Of these brutes let loose, who
find themselves freed, by whatever
cause, from their customary fear OF tho
police, is to attack first of all the most
helpless of their neighbors, especially
if these have anything of which they
can be robbed In Russia that class Is
the Jews. Under the official and tho
popular ban, disabled by law from pos
sessing the means Of self-defense, in
every Russian town these unfortunates
whether By the connivance or by the
collapse of the usual agencies for the
preservation of order, are left to the
mercy of merciless mob. What fol-
lows is what was to be expected in
such case. Massacre, arson, pillage,
all the crimes to which race prejudice,
in conjunction with mert greed, can
urge an unrestrained assembly of riot
ers. Nowhere in human history has
there been bloodier catalogue OF woe.
1t rs a vast calamity, which appeals to
human sympathy as deeply and as
tenderly as any such calamity can pos
sibly do. More than that, it is a part
Of the price which Russia is paying
Tor her transformation into modern
people, member Of the family of civ
ilized nations. these unhappy Jews
are the sacrifice. They are bearing
the burdens Of crimes and bluDders
and stupidities which az all events are
not theirs. And it is not figure OF
speech to say that humanity shud-
ders" at the awfulness Of the price.
. 1t is the task of the whole civ
ilized world to see that the transfor-
nation of Russia to the political and
social conditions of that world shall
be managed with no human suffering
in the process that can be avoided by
human help. Perhaps we may say that
1t is especially the task of this county,
which illustrates what it believes to
be the most advanced Of those condi-

The bob cat escaped into the main
tent, just as the Japanese jugglers
were juggling in No. ring, and the
elephants were standing on their heads
in No. ring. and the flying trapeze
artists were jumping from one trapeze
to another, and the bob cat rushed
through the Japanese and amongst the
elephants, with the fly paper all over
him, and the audience fairly yelled,
cause they thought it was a clown
dressed up to do some stunt, but the
Japanese left the ring in panic, while
the elephants got down off their heads
and stood on their hind feet and cried
like children.
