 Every official report of assassination or crime emphasize the role played n 1t by Jews; and the past week saw the launching of two parties, the Ma tional" at St Petersburg and the Rus sian Popular Party" at Moscow.
 The principal blanks in their plat forms are for the exclusion of Jews from all political activity and from service in the army, the latter to be committed as in the cases of Tartars and Films for a money consideration. The Moscow organization fiatly pro- poses to rid the country of Jews by en- dorsing the Zionists movement and urging the Government to assist in ex patriation.
 It is remarkable that amid all tho crime. hloodshed 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 foreigners It seems almost as if certain moral sense were lacking in the Russians. brother of Premier Stolypin, writing in The Novoe Vremya, calls attention to tbis peculiar weakness of his country men who, in the presence of the great est crisis, he says, think only of snatch lng pleasure from the hour.

 All eyes are now directed toward the country where In a few weeks the peasants will have finished the har- vest. Tn the cities, the government has demonstrated It's ability to hold down the proletariat and unless the pleasants rise, little beyond individual acts of terrorism are expected to take place this fall. Some renewals of agrarian disturbances have already been reported but the details are meagre.
