8th March, NEaRLy every country in Europe here any sympathy with the Rus-ian Government in its troubles was still felt was horror-atruck by the massacre of the 22nd of Janu The Russian official account of t! massacre put the killed at something under a hundred, but the newspaper correspondents, English, French, and American alike, declare that at least two thousand were killed anda much larger number wounded. That was tyranny rampant; but the Czar has now sanctioned an act of such mean treachery that he must have alienate ed every friend in the civilised world, and those who pitied him most for being put in a position which he is obviously utterly incapable to sustain can no longer regard him with anything but utter repulsion. It will be remembered that he asked the workmen to appoint delegates who should choose frota their number representative members of the Council of all the Estates of his Realm that he promised to convoke, The workmen trasted him and chose their delegates, and these delegates have been arrested and deported to the provinces, the police hoping thus to deprive he workmen of the leaders. Buch an act of treachery as this should surely "Put in every honest hand a whi) To lash the rascals naked throug!
the world."
That is how the " Little Father" treats his children in "Holy Russia." It is adeed so base that our language wants words to characterise it.
