ament which accor according accordine dinc to the count Is 13 doing its ite utmost to develop into a revolutionary body and not only delays the reforms which it advocates but contributes to create eretto and maintain a state of chaos result ing from the conflict between the legislative and executive branches of the government russia needs peace order and confidence i ce in tho men who earnestly desire to have hate it and enter upon a period of economic moral and intellectual resurrection instead of this the revolutionists under tho the pretext of patriotism which really Is false patriotism are arc serving tho the interests of th the e foreign enemies of their country by transforming russia to the powder magazine of europe this is not gon gen orally known abroad and is especially regrettable reg retable with regard to tho the amerl ameri cans who always have been good friends of the russians the two countries should know each ot other herbet bet ter to their reciprocal adval advantage ilage jews making mistake it is also known that witte Is personally favorable to the hebrews and their desires a contained in the memorandum presented to him when at portsmouth by tho the committee ot of prominent american jews but he strongly condemns the attitude which tho the jews are assuming in russia in placing themselves at the head of the revolutionary movement against tho the advice of their own enlightened leaders thus making it impossible for their non jewish friends to assist them witte thinks the russian jews who are acting in this manner aro blind for if they aro are defeated they will be more oppressed then before fore whereas if successful the remainder of the population kniph is more anti antl semitic than in other countries will oblige them to fly the country

americans ame rl feel is becoming threatening the jews of had only one proper course to pursue and that was to insist that all rights granted other oiher races be also granted to them nothing more and nothing less having resorted to violence they provoked reprisals and reaction especially from the con has become as revolutionary as those whom they fight count witte explains that the conservatives originally were called the black hundreds in derision their rising has shown what large forces they control und ind how aadil a struggle between two parties may degenerate into civil war and anarchy the troubles of the he past week at are the best illustration of the situation as they were caused by jews jewe killing chief of police who happened to be an exceptionally conservative of whose chose entire aim was to maintain order and tranquility the great question in russia count witte thinks that under such conditions it s natural that the jewish question in russia can not be solved to the of the jews or their friends beside tho the jewsh jewish question there is a higher and greater question that the whole of russia must consider namely the veres sity of preventing inconsiderate action by revolutionists of all kinds and opinions endangering reform measures already put in effect and threatening the future progress ol of the empire on this count witte believes there can be no difference of opinion among those who know russia the government will not permit any consideration to interfere with measures it if deems necessary essary to be adopted to stop the evils mentioned in these days
