Drastic Measures.

New York, Sept 10.-There can be
little doubht that Russian terrorism
will grow rapidly as a result of the
governments extreme violence pro-

every day heaps horror upon horrors

National opinion on the govern
ment's political programme dwells al
most exclusively on it's administrative
measures, and is wholly sceptical re-
garding the promises of legislation.
All that the Independent public rec0g-
nizes is that their existence is put
under control of local authority. There
is nothing to secure freedom of action
to an active liberal candidate for the
next Douma He is as completely at
the mercy of the local authorities as If
he were a terrorist or a revolutionary.
Experience up to the present IS
that the jaiis are being filed with COM
paratively orderly persons who have
geen agitating for democratic reform.
while outright terrorists remain at
large. In view of the inferior capacity
and character of subordinate official
dom in Russia. it is gloomy outlook
for the Liberal element that their ac-
lions are henceforth to be subject TO
the threats and black mail of under
paid office-holders.
All legal preliminaries toward Sc
curing serious trial are now set aside,
and the system of dealing with indi-
viduals by arbitrary administrative or
der, which has been the curse of Rus.
STA since the assassination of Alexan-
