The motives NJ tho b~urcaucrata. In
lnstleatinR the massacre eeem 10 have
bsrn two, first, a vlndlctlvc wish 10 punish
the Jews collectively for the energetic and
important part taken by their educated
c%erellgionists In promoting the effort
Of the Constitutional Democrats In the
Duma 10 establish representative institu-
tons and Ministerial accountability upon
a firm foundation; secondly, a desire to
transfer from the political to the religious
field the excitement wrought by re-
cent events In the minds Of the ~peasantry.
Since the old trust in the Cars parental
affection for his people has died there
are but two things by which the mujik
Ia profoundly influenced, namely, his
land hunger and his love for the ortho-
dox Church. If he could once be per-
suaded that were the Duma to triumph
the Jews would be able to undermine
the groundwork Of Russia's established
religion he might become reconoiled to
the old autocratic system and be induced
to accept an inadequate concession to
his agrarian demands. 1t is, no doubt,
with this cold blooded and Internal cal
culation that the chiefs Of the bureau
cracy at st. Petersburg have fomented
and countenanced the butchery Of Jews
at Bielostok.
1t is no longer possible, however, for
the desperate upholders Of a system
manifestly doomed to carry out their
schemes in secrecy. The quickness with
which, in the case of Bielostok, the truth
was exposed shows that while the Duma
exists it will be impossible long to delude
the peasants. They are fast learning to
believe that the popular assembly is
not only their best but their only friend.
The sinister attempt to divert the wide
spread agitation Of the public mind from
political reform to religious rance hav-
ing proved abortive, the Cars advisers
are brought back to the fundamental
problem, What is to be done with the
Duma? They may attempt now, almost
any day, to give an answer to that
question.

A Great Horse.

The best eulogy of Sysonby is his
record. He went eagerly into every
contest and only once did he fail to be
first at the finish. In these days, when
gamblers instead of turfmen go to the
races, it is a wholesome thing for the
American turf that there are a few men
left in whom there can be kindled some
sentiment at the passing OF a great
horse. The best thing about the turf
is the love of good horses it inspires.
The worst thing is the betting ring, that
loves money, not horses.
Men who know what a racehorse is
have said that Sysonby was the finest
thoroughbred this country ever saw.
One may be inclined to regard such a
statement as extravagant who remem-
bers the great ones that have gone
Harry Bassett and Longfellow, the
mighty Ten Brock, the unbeaten SEN
sation and fremont, the Duke of Magenta,
Parole, Freeland and Eole, Luke Black
burn, Hindoo; Hindoo's son. Hanover;
Hanovar's son, Hamburg; Domino, Com
mando, and the great a Miss Wood
ford. There are even a few who still
insist that Artful, the only horse that
ever lowered the colors Of Sysonby,
could repeat the performance.
1t is unfortunate that the Sysonby-
Artful argument could not have been
settled and settled conclusively. AS
Hamburg is Hanover's greatest son, 30
Artful is Hamburg's greatest daughter.
Her record of races won is not to be COM
pared with that Of Mr.. KEENE's horse,
but that was not her fault. She went
wrong shortly after her only race last
year, which she won in lightning fast
time, and she and Sysonby never came
together after she beat him in the Fu-
turity Of 1904.
From the blue grass Of Kentucky to the
Canada line there is not a mar with a
spark of liking for horses in his soul
who will not s%ympathize with Mr.. kEENE
over Sysonby's death. He was an alien,
to be sure, but what boots it where a
good man or a good horse was bred?
While the line from which he sprang was
English, he was sucked by his English
dam in Kentucky. If Mr.. KEENE 80
decides, hiPpophilists will applaud the
feeling that may lead him to give Syuonby
a final resting place in the Blue Grass
country, where he was born.

Of Federal maRnincation and cncroach-
ment. Any really far reaching and
serious proposition n this kind IA pretty
sure IN be welcomed by theae gentlemen.
They reserve their shakes and scrnples
for some small deer N m appropriation.
Then they swell with satisfaction. AZ
least they have remembered for q min
ute or two a week tho traditional Demo-
cratic theory Of the Constitution.
For three or four years the Geological
Survey Bureau has been testing fuelsand
structural materials at its plants In 81.
Louis. Mr.. WEEKS Of Massachusetts says
that "the testing has been entirely for tho
benefit OF private parties. II a man has
a clay bank or q stone quarry he can
take the clay or stone TO this plant and
the Government will do the testing for
him, at no expense TO himself Gov
eminent tests Of this sort are much In
use in Germany and are considered a
valuable assistance to German indus
tries. Tho all-present overseeing hand
of the German Government seems to
be much admired In this country: and
the prosperity Of German manufactures
and commerce is o a wonder OF the
world. The Pittsburg Chamber Of Com
merce holds hat these Government tests
would be Of inestimable value to the
manufacturing interests, and that Pitts
burg is the ideal location for the labor
atories now at st. Louis.
DR.. GAINES of Tennessee has his inter-
mittent shake at this plan, mild and
minute enough compared with thousands
of others:
Gentlemen, In all candor, are VIC not going to
such a point that the nrst thing we know we will
employ some one to 60 down and try TO teach
somebody how to set a hen, and the kind OF eggs
to use, and directly will have somebody instructing
us whether we should mark them In red ink or with
charcoal and examine 70 SEQ whether the chickens
viii be cross eyed or not, and all sorts Of things
that ought not TO DO done by the Federal Gov
ernmentf"
Why not, DR.. GANEs2 Since States
rights are dead and individualism is
dying, why shouldn't the Federal Gov
eminent take charge Of everything and
everybody? For that wisdom nothing
can be too small as nothing is too great.
DR.. GAINES may live to see a Bureau Of
Gallinaceous Industry, a Board Of Com
missioners OF Oviparity and a Bureau of
Strabismic Pullation. We are living, we
are moving, in a hot and busy time.

Making a state.
question.

It Is not likely that the forty-sixth
star will be added to the American flag
before July 4, 1907, for the adoption of a
Constitution and the formation Of a State
Government by the people of Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory can hardly be
accomplished in less than a year. The
preliminary work will take time and the
people of the Territories to be united are
not eager to hurry it at the expense of
th~oroughness.
The first work to be done is the ap-
portionment of each Territory into fifty
five election districts, for the choice of
delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
ton. The 10 delegates elected from
these districts, with one to be elected in
the Usage Indian Reservation, will
formulate the Constitution of the new
State. The apportionment is to be made
by the Governor, the Chief Justice and
the Territorial Secretary for Oklahoma
and by the Commissioner to the Five Civ
ilized Tribes and two Judges Of the
United States Courts for the Indian
Territory, the Judges to be designated
by the President. When the apportion-
ment is finished the Governor of Okla
homa and the senior United States Judge
for the Indian Territory will unite in
issuing a proclamation ordering the
election. This proclamation must be
made within six months from the day on
which President ROOSEVELT signed the
enabling act.
At the election for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention all men over
81 who. are citizens of the United
States or members of any Indian nation
or tribe in either Of the Territories and
who have lived there six months will
have votes. The election will be con-
Quoted in accordance with the laws OF
Oklahoma. under the direction of the
apportioning boards, which are to APP
point all the election officers.
The Constitutional Convention will
meet on the second Tuesday after the
election of it's members at Guthrie Okla,
that city being designated as the tenn
porary capital Of the new State, to be
used as such until 1913. After organic
ing the members must declare in behalf
Of their constituents that they adopt
the Constitution of the United States.
The State Constitution to be adopted
must contain the usual guarantees Of
religious freedom and must prohibit
polygamy forever. 1t mus also contain
a clause prohibiting for twenty-one
wears the manufacture, sale or adver-
tisement for sale of intoxicating liquor,
except for medicinal or mechanical pur-
poses, in any part of the present Indian
Territory, the Usage Indian Reservation
or any parts of the State which were
Indian reservations on January / Of this
wear. The enabling act specifically per-
mits the new State to separate the ne
groes from the other races in the public
schools.
When the convention has agreed on
the Constitution it is to provide by
ordinance for submitting it to the peo-
pie for ratification OF rejection. At the
same time the people will vote for State
officers. The returns Of this election
will be canvassed by a board composed
of the Secretary and the Chief Justice Of

The Massacre of Jews at BieIostok.

There is cumulative and conclusive
evidence that Government officials de-
liberately planned the massacre Of Jews
which began on June IA at Bielostok, a
town of Russian Poland in the province
Of Grodno, and, although the town was
strongly g%arrisoned, was not brought
to a definite stop until three days had
passed. In this instance it has not
proved possible, as it proved at Kishi-
neff and Gomel, when the autocratic
system wal intact, to hide or minimize
the %atrocious facts; for a committee Of
the Duma was deputed to conduct an
investigation on the spot, and has al
ready begun to publish the truth to the
world through kilograms which, being
despatched by way Of Helsingfors in
Finland, are not subjected to the Russian
censorship.
The true origin Of the murderous out
break might not so soon have been made
known had it not been div1llged indig-
nantly by the Governor of the neighbor-
ing city of Grodno, a man of pronounced
Liberal predictions, who must not be
COMPOUNDED with the new Governor
General Of the province of the same
name. Hated and distrusted by his
fellow bureaucrats, he had been de-
ceived as TO the imminenCe of an anti
Semitic rising. After the attack upon
the Jews had begun, however, he made
an independent investigation of the situ-
alton at Bielostok and, in order to pre-
vent an extension Of the butchery, in
formed by telegraph the authorities of all
towns within the Jewish Pale that there
was absolutely no ground for the official
reports that the disorders We're due to
the throwing of bombs at a Christian
procession by Jewish revolutionists.
Immediately after the outburst Of the
massacre a telegram marked official"
was sent broadcast by a st. Petersburg
agency, alleging that two priests and sew
eral children had been blown to pieces by
a bomb flung by a Jew. The effect Of
this report was to excite peasant mobs
in the villages surrounding Bielostok to
murder the Jews outside the town, and
thus to render it difficult for them to
find a place of refuge, IN spite of the
denia, iaade by the Governor of Grodno,
the Ofi;idl Messenger, published at st.
Petersburg on June II, repeated the as
sertion that the first shots were fired
from Jews houses, the inference meant
to be drawn being, obviously, that the
Jews were to blame.
The facts as they have now leaked
out are that on the first day the slaughter
continued for eight hours, and that al
though five regiments Of infantry and one
regiment Of dragons, together with
artillery and a strong force Of mounted
police, had been concentrated in Bielo-
stok, nothing was done by the. troops
except to patrol the streets and fire at
random on fugitives or into houses. On
the second day, when many streets were
