TIE RUSSIAN REVELATION
AMP ITS RESULTS.

Russia is passing through a reign
of terror such as has for years been
foreign to civilized country, but IN
the midst OF the general horror
which thrills every breast at the mas
sacres and murders being committed
nv the Russian nation, it Is worth
while to remember that this sacrifice
is perhaps after all necessary Tor
the good of the Russlanpeople heV-
olution is the last resort oi an out
ragged nation, of apeople whose nope
in their rulers has been shattered by
long years of suffering and miSrule'
and out from the bloody lessons oil
these political uprisings springs that
permanent. merciful and just govern
ment which belongs to the people,
the blessings OF this life, which God
intended they should enjoy. Liber-
tv. life and happiness all alike spring
from revolution. All are the results
ofpolitical upheavals such as now
agitate the Russian nation. This
country secured all OF these only
through revolution and war with
England. France passed through
the awful reign of terror, only TO
emerge cleaner and better and
stronger. That revolution gave TO
the world Napoleon Bonaparte, and
Napoleon, in spite OF his ambitions
and his love of glory, gave to Eu-
rope. through the triumphs OF ms
army. the first taste OF political hb-
erty enjoyed by its people Tor two
hundred years or more. Out OF the
French revolution came war ana
carnage. but cOunter-balanclng both
came love of liberty and political
freedom. Over one hundred years
afterwards there comes this RUSSIAN
revolt against tyranny and autoc-
racy, and with it for Russia and her
oppressed people comes the dawn OF
a new era. We may expect ere long
to see the great autocracy become a
country where, instead OF servitude'
oppression and injustice, there shall
flourish freedom, happiness andtruth.
Into Count Whites hands Is entrust-
ed the tremendous task OF bringing
order out OF chaos. He has resting
upon him an awful responsibility
but we doubt not that in the end he
will have given his countrymen a
government which will rest ON the
basic principles oiiustice andliberty-

tionists.
Now York. Nov 10 - Allegations
that hich officials ia the Venezuelan
government deliberately attempted TO
eytort from the company the sum OF
Sl0n.0oo are made in statement given
out by the New York and Bermulez
Asphalt company in reference TO the
suit brought by the Venezuelan gov
eminent for $ll.G0oo00 damages for
aiding in The Matos rebellion.
The means used by these officials.
according 20 The allegation included
blackmau. cc-fscation OF tho com
pany's property. the manufacture OF
false testimony and the making Of de-
crecs without regard to law The allie
cations made in the statement are
based upon letters which. il is de-
clarod. were received from \. IL. Car
nor. now the receiver holding the com.
panys property fer the Venezuelan
government. but who in 1900 was the
company's agent al Caracas. and the
report Of Colonel Victor VI. Backus,
who was sent to Venezuela I'm 1900 az
IN independent agent by the asphalt
company. The statement concludes
with an exhaustive review Of what it
describes rs the asphalt company's
actual relations 10 the revolution
In this connection it is explained
that 100000 was given to General
Matos by the officials Of the National
Asphalt company On the generals re-
quest. Further sums. aggregat'ng $780,
000 were paid the revolutionary lead
ers soon afterwaTd. This sum was
paid. the statement says. to guarantee
protection Of the company's property
NJ time when the territory In which
the company's property is located was
in the control OF the revolutionlsts.
The statement maintains that the
company at all times observed abso-
lutte neutrality, even going to the eX-
tent of paying customs duties to both
the government and the revolutionists
when the custom houses were con
trolled by the insurgents.
One Of the letters from Mr.. Garner
to the Bcrmudcz company. dated De
cember %, 1900. when he was the
company's Caracas agent. which is
quoted in the statement in support OF
the allegation Of extortion. says:
"They (the government agents. are
after money. That Castro IS behind it
I am morally convinced. and, little by
little. am going closer to 1t. 1t is
now only n question Of money. and we
can have all the justice we want
Another letter. dated December p,
1900 quotes Mr.. Garner as saying: i
have received n plump offer from an
agent (well known to be SUCH Of the
dictator. to the effect that he would
guarantee to put our case through ex-
actly as | wanted it, and in such a
way as to insure us against any future
difficulties in the matter Of our rights
and properties all for the sum OF

1t is more than likely the President
will come out victorious in his effort
to regulate railroad rates. 1t is
said he has a powerful leverage he
can use on the roads that may bring
them to terms without a contest,
and withoutfriction with therailroad
influence. We hope it may be so, as
an agreement OF that kind will pre-
vent such combination against the
President as was mentioned as pos
sible some time ago of the opponents
of the canal, tariff revision and med
ding with railroad rates. Victory
might be possible over the combina-
ton, but it would be surer to take
each one as it comes up.

AID FOR RUSSIAN JEWS
Over $4,000 Raised In Philadelphia
For Victims of Massacre.


Philadelphia. Nov. 13.-There were
five large meetings Of Jews in this city
for the purpose of raising funds for
the suffering Jews in Russia. The
most important gathering Of the day
was that which met at Mercantile
Hall where $4,000 was raised in half
an hour. Judge Mayer Sulzberger pre-
sided. and Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf,
of Keneseth-Israel Synagogue, made
the principal address. He said the mas
sacre of the Jews in Russia marks the
very depths of barbarism. "They arc
the most hldeous spectacles of the
goth century" he said land regard
these ouEages as the blacklist curse
that has ever fallen upon our much
abused and much scorned people"
There was an immediate response
when contributions were asked for,
and when the amounts we're tOtalled
It was found that $4,000 had been
subscribed. One prominent Jew gave
$4,000. and at least half dozen 9TH
ers contributed $1,000 each. The money
will be sent at once to Jacob II. Schif,
of New York, treasurer of the aa-
tional relief committee.
