employed by the Russian political
prisoners to the injustice and

known as the "hunger strike, ,"
and its results have been wonder
full, BY refusing to partake of
food the government is forced
either to bring them to speedy
trial, order their release or let
them starve, Even in autocratic
Russia the spirit of freedom is
abroad in the land sufficiently to
force the government to avoid in
large measure the last condition
Of affairs. Such u strike IS now
