RENEWAL OF
TERRORISM
IS
HOSTILITY OF RULING CLASS
! AGAINST JEWS INTENSIFIED.
TWO PARTIES LAUNCHED
Platforms of Both Advocate Exclu-
sion of Jews From Politics and Ser
vice in the Army Proposing to Rid
the Country of Jews.

st. Petersburg. rg.-The renewal OF
terrorism on a large scale has grad
ually intensified the hostility of the
ruling classes against the Jews, who
long have been regarded as the brains
of the revolution, and it is believed
has correspondingly diminished the
chances of the Jews of obtaining more
than a normal enlargement of their
rights.
Every official report of assassina-
ton or other crime emphasizes the
role played in it by Jews, and the past
week saw the launching of two par
ties, the "Natioaal" at st. Peters
burg, and the "Russian popular par
ty" at Moscow. The principal planks
in their platforms are for the exclu-
sion of Jews from all political ac-
tivity, and from service in the army,
the latter to be commuted as IN the
cass of Tartars and Films, for a
money consideration. The Moscow
organization flatly proposes to rid the
country of Jews by endorsing the Zion
lists movement, and urging the govern
ment to assist in expartriation.
1t is remarkable that amid all the
crime, bloodshed and horror with
which the country is filled, that the
music halls and cafes of the capital
are thronged nightly by gay crowds
solely on pleasure bent. To foreign
ers 1t seems almost as if a certain
moral sense were lacking in the Rus
slams. A brother Of Premier Stolypin
writing in the Novoe Vremya, calls
attention to this peculiar weakness of
his eountrymen, who in the presence
Of the greatest crisis, he says, think
only of snatching pleasure from the
hour. 1t was thus in the cafe chant
ant that the cOnspiratorS who tried TO
Kill Premier Stolpypin last Saturday
spent the night previous to the at
tempt. But NJ. Stolypin says it was
always thus in Russia. The only re-
action noticeable is the increase in ac-
tivity Of the black hand organization,
which constitutes the other extreme.
Count Koroyinitsin, the head Of the
organization known as the "True
Russian People, whose life recently
was attempted, calls up on his follow
ers to revenge his death by the de-
struction of thousands of those "who
now terrorize the nation under the
flag Of liberty" in case the next at
tempt against him is successful. In
the Baltic provinces where terrorism
is again rampant, the wife and chill
dren of a peasant who was first shot
and then allowed to perish in the
flames which destroyed their home.
A teacher who took the place of a
striker" was ambushed at night and
his body riddled with bullets. All wit
nesses of these revolutionary acts
have been threatened with death if
they appear in court to testify against
the terrorists.
Ia the vendetta between the govern.
ment and The revolutionists womer
and particularly girls, who have al
ways played prominent part in the
liberation movement, continue to en-
act leading roles. Many Of them are
high born. Princess Obelenski wa!
arrested today at Rybinsk, near Var
oslav, for participating Ia a conspir
acy.
All eyes are now directed towarG
the country wherein few weeks tht
peasants will have finished the har
vest. In the cities the government
has demonstrated its ability to holt
down the proletariat and unless tn
peasants rise little beyond individua
acts of terrorism are expected to TAX
place this fall. Some renewals O.
agrarian disorders have already beel
reported, but the details are meagre
