London, July f5.-The Daily Chron-
icle today prints three close columns
of the most passionate and severe in
dictment ever penned by Count Leo
Tolstoi. the Russian author in which
he shows all his old vivid literary
skill, Of the present system of gov
ernment by execution" in Russia. the
article concluding with notable ap-
peal to the better nature OF his coun~
trymen. During the course of the
article the count writes:
Il can no longer endure 1t. / write
this either that these inhuman deeds
may be stopped or that my connection
with them may be snapped, and be
put in prison where I may be clearly
conscious that these horrors are not
committed on my own behalf. or still
better ESQ good that / dare not even
dream of such happiness); that they
may put on me as on those twenty or
twelve peasants a shroud and cap and
may push me also off bench so that
by my own weight may tighten the
well soaped moose around my old
throat"
After describing Wholesale execu-
tons IN grewsglle detail, the eodnt
says:
"All this is carefully arranged and
planned by the learned and enlight-
ened people of the upper class. They
arrange to do these things secretly at
daybreak and they so subdlvide the
responsibility for their iniquities
among those who commit them that
each may disolaim responsibility:
and not these dreadful things alone
are done. but all sorts of other tor
lures and violence are perpetrated in
the prisons, fortresses and convict es-
Establishments: not impulsively under
the sway of feeling silenced reason as
weapons in fight or I'm war, but on
the contrary at the demand of reason
and calculations, slencing feeling.
What Is most dreadful in the whole
matter of this inhuman violence and
killing, beside the direct evil to the
victims, is that It brings a yet more
enormous evil on the whole people by
spreading depravity among every
class of Russians"
Tolstol. instancing the shocking
spread of greed among officials to
obtain money by executing condemned
prisoners. says:
Awful as are the deeds themselves,
the moral and spiritual unseen evil
they produce is incomparably more
terrible"
With regard to the governmental
contentious that there Is no other way
to suppress the revolutionists, Count
Tolstol, while admitting that the rev.
olutlonists' crimes are stupid and rep

cuses the government OF doing the
same thing for the same motive, and
adds: "All the revolutionlsts bomb

Tolsto argues at length that both

objects by the same criminal means
