Show An Object Lesson THERE is nothing like an object lesson, to teach the people. A Polish artist, Stanislaus Stanisl-aus Jabionsky, has painted a picture entitled, en-titled, "In the Empire of the Czar," depicting the massacre of Jews in the streets of Kieff, while , at the same time the Czar is represented bearing the manifesto in which the authorities are commanded com-manded to suppress all disorder and to guarantee the liberties of peaceable citizens, on the very day when eighty Jews were massacred by the Czar's minions in Kieff and other towns. The picture is described as most striking. It was first exhib-ited exhib-ited at Cracow, then taken to Munich, and there it has been withdrawn on the protest of the Czar's ngents that It constitutes Lese Majeste to the Czar. The Czar would not -tremble to hear that some strong power had declared war upon him and his country, but ho fears the effect of this pic-turo; pic-turo; for at sight of it the whol fearful vision of Russian cruelty rises before men, and that the M Czar cannot bear to have revealed. Russia is but M half civilized. H |
