Show Tun Kusinn government has frequently fre-quently averted ilur.ng the past few mouths that nihilism was dead, but its actions indicate thnt it is not altogether sure of its position on the subject. A few days ago a descent was made upon some uUU houses in St. Petersburg where it was supposed tho dead sect found refuge. Nothing was found to justify the fear thnt had been entertained; but tho world understands from the fact of the raid that the car has uot as much faith in the death of tne organization as he would have the public believe. The order or sect is far from being in the condition of a corpse. The terrorism by wliich the government has sought to kill it has only made it more determined in its purpose, and the cruelties practiced prac-ticed against all clas-os of citi.ens, particularly par-ticularly the Jews, bring recruits to its ranks. A terrible accounting is some day to be made, and the czar cannot hope to be free from the dangers of such a day until he .sha'.l have remedied the wronprs by which his subjects are I driven iuto the desperate fold of nihilism. |
