Women opposed the property rights of married women thirty years ago.

Ltcal I'nions will pleae carefully note, and include answers to same In tbeir reports to their respective officers. Last yeir several Srstes lent no report at all. others very iniU finite reports. It is evident tbe report of the Stste must depend on the work of the local Unions mainly. Every W. C. T.

Let us gither up all the facts rossible in regard to uar press work. Local Unions will please send their reports before the lirst of September to their State Superintendents. 1. How many Uniors in State? . How many have appointed local superintendents of the Press Dapartaieat? C. How many papers published in the Statt? 4. How many temperance papers? 5. How many favorable to temperance? C How many have a Temperanc Department conducted b the W. C. T. C? 7. How many W. C. T. U. women hlp in any of the five ways enumerated blow? . How does the Press Work of compare with 1SS1? A careful study of papers show five ways in which editors admit temperance truth to their columns. 1. As general news, or special notices of state or local werk, as announcements and reports of meetings, conventions, etc., This does not commit an editor as a temperance man. -. As paragraphs relating to tha work in general, scattered through the pages of other reading. Thia may be considered evidence of a broad mind willing tbat all truth should be repret anted in tha paper. 3. As editorials, contributed or selected articles; evidently a candid expmsina of tha editor's own belief on tha subject 4. Byritherfng all thec? articles Into a

Ü. or other societies with or without restriction as to kind of articles furnished, and with or without editorial endorsement. Many an editor, will, from a generous recognition of the right of intelligent people to differ from himself, grant space, who would not without special personal solicitation, publiih articles in either of the other ways. All the te wsys are good. Upon the first four the W. C. T. U. rt ay have Indirect in3necce. Upon the last, direct. It will depend npon the editor, the peop'e and the W. ). T. U. itself, which is bet. Tne column has advantages which other ways have not. It is definite work for the Union. It campels research, discretion and concentration of thougbt. Tbe column is itsslf an edncstor of the people. It shews that an orgaaizttijn of wcrren ore a fo?:e. that they have coa;e toetay until the public mtnd is enlightened and takons are pnt a fay from the face of tbe land. An ideal densrtmerrt thus conducted y the W. C. T. U. would be made up cf National. State and local news of the doings of tbe W. C. T U., of news cf all other org tnlzations working for the same result; of quotations from leading writers and epeakers, ministers and physicians; of facts and arguments on every phase of the eubject. And it would be read. Esther T. Hocsii, National Supt. Press Dept. W. C. T. CT.

Ere they are lost to thee; For i seh one. as it passes by, Is big with destiny. Eliza M. ohermaa. Ibe Women Workers of Holland and Austria. It is only within the patt twenty years that the women of Holland have been engaged in money making industries. The i tuple of the country are very onservative, but women a e found acting as apithecariei. watch rxakers, e'erks in the post, railroad and telegraph ctHces, and the nnrabsr la ttee callings is increasing. There is but one female physician, Mias Alstta Henrietta Jacobs, who practices at Amsterdam. Sie is tbe daughter of a doctor, a ad always had a taste for the prof8Mon. Sae parsed her lirst ejamiration In 1871. graduated in 1ST0 nud at onre established her elf in business. AbH from tbe inevitable professional jealousy she meets with among her brethren, ths says sbe fcfs no fault to find with her success, or with the way in which she is treated. Pub ic opinion is not against her in 'he practice of her profession, and sbe maiki g eat progress wittin Ue rest two or three years in fsvor cf bettering the pesition of w.men in State and ecciety. In IHm women were allowed to become apothecaries and assistant apothecaries. In 1881, two hundred and sixtfen had passed tbe assistant apothecaries' examination. The National School of Arts has, within late years, been thrown open to the ose of women, and gins werk there from the living models, and attend the lectures, with the same freedom aa men. An exhibition of female industry acd art was held eome years ago, and readine rooms for women have been opened in two of the principal cities. As the press bas been steadily opposed to the industrial progress of women several newspaper? have been started and supported by women themselves One cf these wss entitled "Work Fumbles," and aimed to provide poor gentlewomen with home work. Teaching Is considered oy parents the most proper avccalion for a girl, if she has to work at all. There are normal schools, which a-e encouraged, though it was a long time before girls were given the same edocaiional advantages as boys. Dutchwomen have shown considerable ta'ent for the fine arts, and there is a school of Damstic Art, at Amsterdam, which numbers among its graduate eome of the meat talented actresses of the country. In Austria, notwithstanding great opposition, mostly from men, institutions for ths preparation of women for active employmeLt are continuallf appearing. The "Woman's Industrial Society" was founded in founded in ISM! and has grown every year in ctefnluess and importance. In 1ST t Its schcol fcr the industrial training of women was opened, and Boon after workshops and icbcols of designs were started. Lace-making is t;uirht in tbe school, the children of p3ir iace n akers teing taught without charge. Ia a commercial scbocl tha French and Enzlhb. languages are tanght, and there are lecture cn various artistic and scientific aubj?ct. More than a thousand' wonjen have enjoyed tbe benefits of this Institution during the past few years. There is a State school, founded by the Government, where women can learn certaln of the arts applied to industry. Tha public and private sthcols for g'l-ls are much better than they rsed to be. Iu Uungnry there is a society to encourage th9 employment of women; many yoong f:ir)s prepare themselves for teachers, hut tli chances of obtaining emDloymeat are rot very good on account of the lave r.uriiber of Roman Catholic Sisters win betake tbenselves to that sort of wort, Masy young women, however, are making a specialty of the klnderartsn method. Females are" employed in tne telegraph and postal ervice, and in other departments of the Govern inent. Up to within a short tirua women have been employed in 8outh Aus tria in the Government telegraph and postal eervtce. The reason given for ceasing to cmpioy women in this branch of the service was tbat the male employes complained that tbe females worked for toa low wage-. Tne Ecciety of Austrian Teachers and Uoferntetes encourages normal echool instruction, spreads ideas on advanced female education, and aids niedy members of tbe society. Tbe condition of women in Vienna may be taken as a fair sample of tbeir condition throughout tbe empire The statistical report for 1;S1 knows that women were en p'ojed in that city as fjllow: Government employes L'O; teachers, '2,"'J0; authors and editors, 2j; actreeoes and musicians, 731; painters and sculptors. ;i2; emploves f ibe Hoard of Health, 3; math o;iicery, 870; innkeepers, 33; fa-rcers, 1; ni ters, 2; in industrial pursuits. 4 85"; iu bniness, 4,415; in banks, 14; mes:engers, lit); ilvltg uu their incomes, J.4t; livir-g .n pensions and the like, 5,151; heads of elsca uu al establishments. oJ; heada ot coar: tibia institutions, IS; in undefined callin 's, öl Öls; cierks, 2.o7S; day laborers, 4!,27H; dcmepiio. The total female poou'aticn of Vienna at that time was :;73.15'i; of tbatnumber 187,240 did something toward tle rown support. The universities are closed to women, but manyrromen have, neve, neverthelss, become distinguished for learning. Miss R os Welt, ot Vienns, a graduate at Bern, and is an expert in diseases of the eye: and the w if e of Dr.Kerschbaumer assists her hasband, who is an opthalmist, in his operations. Mrs. Kusicka Ostoie has recived from the Emperor a gold medal for her proficiency in Oriental studies. Miss Von Torma is known as an antiquarian, and lectures on her discoveries; she has been highly spoken of by Dr. ßshliemann. Miss Herschelmann bas lectured on the history of art, and Miss HIio is known for her abilities as a pedagogue andber lectures on educational sibjests. Miesea Drnskovich and Rnbensteln are lecturers on Beilea Lettres. A large number of the women of Austria naturally "take' to the theatre, and many become distinguished asactrersea.

Many women learn the piano, but the harp, zlthern, the violin acd harmonium are the favorite Instruments Women have made great pro press in painting duiing the past few years, but there are few female sculptors.

The Aesthetic Importance of Dress Children' aodaiIats,3Iilllnery Novelties. The aesthetic Importance of dress, eays a writer In the Brooklyn Etgle, is hsrdly less apparent than the moral. As the type oi countenance, nay, of form, varies under the modifying itfluences ot costume and climate, so we can be at no loas to understand the supreme beautT of Greek art and the sensuous perfection it typifies. The Greeks not only enjoyed an exquisite atmosphere and lovely scenery, but perceived another kind of beauty which seemed to them more glorious than all the beauty of the human form. And having set themselves to reach this.and haviDg gained it, they gave it their principal thought and set it off with beautiful diets. Could one of the old Greek sculptors be transported into a modern drawing-room, he wonld eurely wonder less that we have no better art than we should have any at all. For the truth stares every thoughtful perfon in the face. We are daily doing more and more to travesty the human form and Eet at nanght those very principles of hir mony inculcated by various aesthetic teachers with so much vehemence. The modern drees of both sexei by no means ascords with the simplest laws ot beanty, hygiene, and economic science. And, take it fcr all and all.perhaps the drei3 cfaJady wasteldom more inartistic, unhealthy, and extravagant than at present, aid surely Deyer more vulgarizing. Consider the fashion of ear-rings. Now it is cbvious tbat the reason of women mutilating their ears is not to be found in the circumstances among which we are living. The modern ear-ring of cultivated nations is a relic of ruder mental and moral conditions, and though we have outlived the barbarism we persitt in retaining the fashion of bsibarians a case among many in which the mult of progress has been negative and not positive. Again, regard a lady's toilet as mere drapery. The eye is tortured by the multiplicity of angles, line, and points, a id what with the fragmentary appearance of the dress one is reminded ot toe piecemeal structure of the animals called arlici'at. Harmony ot color is regarded as little a? harmony of proportion, and the patsion for novelty bas induced extreme wastefalnes twenty dre&es cf inferior stufl are preferred to one of rich and artutic material, and the tncnsbt and care that might devise a re.'ly beauiilul costume are expended npoa tha ii anufacture of a hundred as uniform as tbey are unbecoming. These com mo 4 p)ce dreetes beicg quickly worn on:, fashion, the modern 8ieyphns, begins it uphill work by inventing a' hundred more. Women whose chief business t is to drees according to fashion are not likey to interlere with the graver concerns of lif; and in a woik of deep and painful internet lately published by Dr. rollte-, of the University of Pita on "The Physiology of the Mad," great stress Is laid upon the connection of frivolous pirauits and mental d!ordeie. Theie Is a slightly greater disposition to insanity among women than among men, which is partly accounted for by the baneful system ol fen ale education, engendering as it does puerility of occupation, paucity of retcurce, and a habit of total despondence. The wilter lcoks to the higher education of women Dot only as an element of theirsocUl and intellectual regeneration, but of physical well-beirg, since a purposeless or ill-directed life induces, aniODg other ills thit tleh is heir to, the moat terrible of all intanity. Rut let women begin the process of self-education by cultivating the ethics of dress. This is their empire. Dress, said uaziitt, is the great secret of address, and young women who imitate the so-caUed "fast" Myle of Parisian fashion invariably acquire tbe fast style of speech and manners a!ao. This is imitated by the lower classes, till even onr dorceslic servants are ashamed to wear eobcr colors and last year's bonnet3. Extravagance is the rule, moderation the exception, amoas all ranks. Arccng tbe light silk materials tbera is the toil dn Louvre, a new kind of foulard of solt bees, eewn as it were in bouquets ever all the fashionable grounds of havannah, ukm, cress, strawberry of an intense shade .etc. We remarked in general patterns of na'ural tints so softened aLd arranged as to be in perfect harmony with the ground. French F'aille in b'ack and every color, which iscow msde with a strong and rather ronch su:face, will p ay a great part in the ccstnrues for summer, as it drapes well a d makes ctarmlrg ornamentations, Klltins, ruchinj, etc , and tsfftta is employed as a transparent for the numberless thin tissues which fashion has prepared for our use, unicng others plain or lignred causes, with curly silk designs forming stripes, garland, running flower shapes, peas, etc., we have seen ixulticclored ariangements as a'so several shades cf the same color, and they were in peifect taste. Cbehille trimmings will remain fashionable, and we snail have chenille embroideries, pbsierxenteries of cheni le and silk, chenille and velvet or beacs, among others beads r it with factts which gutter brilliantly, and are cf all tints and colors. Oman entations in stripes of borjque'.s are scattered over tbe foundations of voile, gr iadine raourselme de lalne, etc , and are sea with plain stutTs of the same tissue perfart'y assoited in color, and some beautifal designs in chenille were shown us arranged in strips of dißerent 8 .23 across tbe bottom of fie skirt snd tunic, again foru. ing resular striis cr these grade a ted in size, and becoming wiVer spart as tbey deerraw. We shall see much Chantillyand woolen guipure lace employed for trimmlogs and draperies, over skirt of French faille, brCered with the same material, with waitcoats, rcchirgs Lr the neck, and lace parements to match. children's and missis' hats. Infants' caps are now made of Oriental or of Valenciennes lace laid smoothly over si 'sc. in preference to the drawn and tucked unslin caps formerly nsed. For girl babies a year old there are larger lace cap9 with a deep lace curtain and a ruche of lace all aiocnd. There have fer trimming a lare tnp tow of old fashioned gauzs ribbon, or else a cluster of tiny unblown rosebuds, with r erhaps email pink tips of ostr.'ch feathers For boys nf one or two jeirs are turbans, or else Tim O Sbanter caps made of white e u broidered muslin, with a bow of narrow satin ribbon loops and strings. White wool lace boncets fcr girls of two or three years ate in clcse cap hspes. trimmed with a large Ahacian bow of satin ribbon. Pretty lit le peaked brim bonnets of white nuns1 veiling or ecru cashmere, lace, or embroidered muslin, have the brim shirred and the crown large and ecft-looking like a puff. Some ot theie are lined with pink or blue silk, and many have a cape ro.mded to droop to the shoulders. A large bow of gauze or satin ribbon is the general trimming for children's bonnets, and this may droop on each side in Altscian shape, or be placed high and saucylooking in standing loops. Turbans of white aurah or of wool are pretty for small bays. Egyptian lscs turbans have their heavily-wrought designs thrown into relief by a lining ot rose or pale blue silk. Girls of four or five years wear straw pokes with pointed brim, and the trimming is a rosette longer than it is wide, made of gathered gsuze ribbon or of wool lace, or else of a plaid or striped scarf.

The Story of the Nihilist 8 -An Interview that Hartman lias Bead and Corrected Difference between the Nihilists and Ter rorUts Urft of Assassinations by the Czars and the Terroriata-The Fotureof the terrorists. (Copyright, 1885.) In the report of my interview with Mr Hartman, the most famous of the mis-called Nihilists (who are known in Russia as the Terrorists.) I stated that be read and corrected, with great care, the report that I had made of a series cf conversations with a Russian Hebrew Nihilist who had been on a of the sociaiielio propaganda. After he had made the necessary correct! ons, he pro pounced the interview an accirate and trmt-wcrthy account, as far as it goes, ot the history, theories and purposes of the dreaded secret revolutionists of Russia. Thus sanctioned, this statement possesses great interest at the present crisis. THE INTERVIEW. My Russinn-Hebrew friend escaped from the pursuit of the Russian police only a short time ago. He had served the propaganda aa a schoolmaster. He is a man of literal education and thoroughly familiar with every phase of the Russian revolutionary movement. As he enjoyed f jr many rxcLths, a so, the daily companionship of Mr. Hartman, he has had the rarest opportunities lor knowing the truth about the dc -insand policy cf the socialistic conspirators a?ainet tbe Cir. "1 am a Russian Socialist," he said. The Nihilipta are the advanced or radical Sociallets. But it is not tb Nihilists whe war etraicst the Russian. Government today. The Nihilists never shed a drop of blood. They were apostles not revolutionists. They are dow extinct in Kussia. The men of t3 day wno are called is'inil8ts outside of Russia are the Terrorists of Russia. "What ia thus known as Nihilism has had two distinct eras. The first is ths era of Tchycovsky. It ended in 1872, shortly after the uprising of the Commune. Up to tbat time theie nad been no attemps to inaugurate a policy of bloodshed or terror, exceptirg in 1S C. when a small circle was formed and a scheme to kill the Emperor adopted. It failed, and Karakosoff, its leader, was hanged. The scheme was the lirst indication of a deacair tbat was destined to spread rapidly. The young Liberals of Russia had hoped tbat tbe Czar Alexander, who had litetated the serfs- although he did it re luctantly would Rive to Russia a liberal Constitution. But he soon showed that be was pa deapotic as his father, and his anopreesion ot Polish aspirations, proved that be was as cruel, also. 'The founder of Nihilism was Nicholas Tschernjatersky, editor of the greatest Russian magazine, the Contemporary. He translated Mills' Political Kcjnomy into Russian and edittd it with notes in which he expounded his socialistic ideas. He was a great writer on Political Economy and bcciolocy, and author of a famous novel entitled, What is to be Done?" He was to Russia what Carl Marx and La Salle have been to Germany. Twenty one years ago he was banished to Siberia. For eight years he was kept at l aid labor and then his sentence was commuted to ccntluement to a small town in one of tbe remotest regions of Siberia. He is now at Astrachan at the mouth of the Volfra. but he is not permitted to leave it. All his books are strictly prohibited by the Rossian Censor, and everything he has wiitten since his condemnation has been destroyed een a grammar that he compiled to relieve the tedium of his imprisonment. He is still tbe idol of the Nihilists, and y on may conceive how his fate affects them. For, however a Government might be justified in teyerely punishing th.s terrorists, TtcbernysLexsky never advocated the policy of rebellion acd never invoked bloodshed. Nothirc is known of his views of the policy of tbe modern Nihilists, but all classes of Russian reformers admit tbat they owe their political and social ideas to him. This intlu ence has caused Carl Marx and La SaÜ9 to be stuaiei everywhere in Russia. You caarot lied an educated Rufsian who is notconveis ant with Ma'kV'Kaüital," and La Salle's work. and Mill's Political Economy as anrotaied by Tschernysbersky. "The Nihilist warred against the corrupt religion of the Empire and spread their rationalistic idea every where. They destroyed the fdea of Gcd as taught by the prests. We Russian Socia isls belitve in no worship as tau2ht by the present religions. The ideas of Büchner and Djrwin have supplanted the anc'tnt faith. Our Greek priests had lo-t all influence tbroogh their ignorance and wor l y-mindediies; therefore, the materialistic t'hilcsophv found no antagonists adoqctte to combat it. Rstiocaüsni became the religion cf tbe educated ci&sses, and the result a seen in the appl:ciir n of its doctrines cf individnnl sovereignty to e7ery rotation cf human Iiff. Women were recognised as the fjua!s of men, with the ejcal right cf independent action. Porten years this propaganda was prosecuted by books and papers secretly printed and secretly distributed, by the translations of socialistic wiitings of Germany and France and by oral di cuts gds in the societies of ths colleges as well as in the salons of the educated class. "The Commune of 1S71 bad a grat influence on the n.ovec:entot Russia. Tbe reprtssi?e iteasuras of the Russian Government bad began to throw distrust on the pjjaibil ity cf tbe success of tbe prograum) parely peaceful. They were looking for some other method. The whole element of the intelligent class found vent for its feeling, for its thirst, if I ruay so express myself, in the French Commune. With the ccming in of this French influence, the old Nihilism of Russia vanished or it ceased to rely cn ide&S, intellectually advocated, and It becan to have faith in conquering a position for ideas by a policy of bloodsieu. Nihilism entered on its revolutionary era. "In your American history, onr Nihilism corresponded to your anti slavery asttati i under Garrison atd Phillips; while tne new eracf the Ruain Terrorists Is reprenti by the rxen of Kansas and of Harier's Ferry. Neceiarily, the cravirg for a policy of action implied a herce strjggle and demanded men of fierce temper; the class of men of whom faratics and martyrs are made. And it was so. Nihilism was a beautiful dream; Terrorism has been a hi lecus bolccacat. On our side we have executed, in lhTG appy, a detective; m 1S77, two spies; in 1878, Herkin, Captain of g-i s d'armes. and Mesen'zit!, caief of the Kassian gensd'arn es; in L7l. Crapotiue. Governor of Charcot!, one detective at Kleff and another at Moscow, in 10 an informer at St. Petersburg, in 1KM, the Czsr, Alexander IL, and a detective at Warsaw, a second at St. Petersburg; in lsS the Procureur-Gen-ersl Strelnicoff; in 183.1 and 1SS1. detectives at OJetea and Sadeykiu. Besides these executions we made attempts that were unsuc-cesful-in 17!, on the life of the informer, Goiicovitz. at Odessa, and on the lives of Gereral Trepofi and of the assistant procuratecr Cotliatavsky at Kieff; and had made prepsratlons (by Wittenberg Nicolalfl) to assassinate Alexander II., and to kill the chief of gens d'armes, Drewleln and to shoot Alexander II. (by Solovleff); to blow up the railroad train in which Alexander II. was traveling on the Moscow-Kursc railroad (November IS) and we did blow up the cars, for tbe same purpose, near Moscow, by Hartman (on the 10th of November.) At the same time two other mines which were dug did not explode. In 1583, the explosions in the Winter Palace occurred, whicn, if it hai not keen premature, would have killed the Emperor and all his suit; aid an attempt wss made to kill the detested dictator. General Melecoff. In 1882 we tried to kill Governr lliashwitch. On the tide of the Czir the account of bloodshed is more than balanced. Ia 1SG2, Arcgold. Sblvitzky and Rostcowskf wsre shot. In 16Gi, Uvtnitzky and Kinavitch were shot. In 1855, Cherniak was shot. In

1878 KonaJaky of Odeesm was shot. The list cf hangings is longer: In I860, Karacosoff; in 1879 Dubrovin, Oainsky, Bradner, Antono ff. ßalovioff, Bilchanaky, Grosky, Theodcroff, Chubaroff, LIsojoI, Dayidenks, Vit ten berg, Lc gov en to. Mallnka. Drabraggln, Miydansky and Drobraggln. In 1880, Molodelaky, Roeovaky and PriesnacofL These martyrs fell under Alexander II. Under Alexander III. ths persons implicated in the assassination of the Czar were executed, and subsequently for other acts of disloyalty, Cbalwin, Gelwscoff and Lechky. Tfce duel bas been a bloody one, but it is not over jet. "The influence of the Commune waa speedily felt everywhere, and especically in the colleges. A spirit was aroused of the most eelf-sacrihciug enthusiasm. It was determined to form a propaganda among the peasants. To instruct them in the gospel of Ifocislism. Among the peasants nominally free, but still really oppressed, pillaged by corrupt officials, but tenacious to the ancient Russian communal idea that the land belongs to all the people. Here tbe young propaganda thought tbat tbey would find a thanklul soil for the sowing of the seeds of Socialism, fraternity and equality. They determined to give up all tbe luxuries of life and go into the people in the disguise of common laborers, shoemakers, doctors, nurses and midwlves. But they thought it wonld be necessary to educate themselves first, and therefore they formed circles to educate themselvesmorally by kindly criticism, practically by learning trades, and intellectcally by mutual instruction in science, history atd the dectnaes of Socialise. Youths of aristocratic lineage were trained as blacksmiths or as nurses. Most of thee enthusiast! Utopists onr enemies cilled us weie well-to do middle c'a?s families. In 187 J 4 the best elements of the students left their colleges and became members of 4.hess secret eocialistic circles. Among these e ithntissts who entered their company in IS7G es Hartman. It is estimated that there were ten thousand of these theoretical Nihilists or 'guides' who thui prepared themselves to instruct the people. Others, who did not go into the people, aided those who were suspected and had to fly, by furnishing them with money and false oissports. "These young enthusiasts thus worked from 1872 till 1878. No blood was shed by them. "The emancipation of the Russian serfs wss iLieiely a sliam. It was forced on the Czar by the unanimous opinion of the educated classes. The Crimean War showed us tbat Western Europe was made up of men. Russia cf slaves and sloths. They saw that tbe intellect of Russia was stagnant owing to serfdom and czardom. Tley believed that Russia would advance as fast as any other nation if it bad the chance. They saw this all classes saw the official class, also that from a military point of view we must abol

ish serfdom in order to hold onr own against foreign nations. Serfdom in fact was abolished as a militsry need. Rut theCz&r although be abolished serfdom had, so to say, no good will in it. He did it reluctantiy. The piice of the lands which the serfs we e to live on was fixed by the, governments, that ie, by the landowners, for they were n ade up of the old land owners and serfcwners, and these bodies put the price eo high that the annual installments constitute so great a tax that the Mojifea are in no way tetter oä, economically, than they were before. . They lfte in the utmost Indigence. They are whipped when they fail to pay tbeir installments. To escape this tax large cumbers reek work in tbe towns. Many of them wonld prefer tu give their land away. They are still in real slavery. "As to education, not live per cent, of the peasants can write an address Their teacheis are uneducated. Thousands of schools were broken np when the young students took to teaching The government acta as if it had a grudge against the schools. "To raise upa c'ass so degraded was soon seen to be impracticable. It became a question cf arithmetic. We converted one Mojilt but five of us were banished to Siberia in doing it. Our punishments were murderous. By 1878 experience had taught us that our policy must be changed. We either cease to propagate our opinions or we must return blow for blow; and avenze the wrongs of our comrades and of the Mojtks by retaliating terror for terror." A convention was called In 1870. Two parties with different politics were developo 1 in it chemo peredieitzy and the norodo vollzy." Here the policy ot terroism triumphed. It was soon put into operation. In the propaganda movement the enthusiasts bad edured the greatest privations and bad been seized by hundreds and sent to Siberia. To tbe help cf the spirit of eelf-sacrific. which they had shown was now evoked, the spirit of retribution and despair. The same contempt of luxury, ese, honors, hardships and deatb. which bad been shown in ee.TM, in prosecuting tbe work of toesa apes Jes of the socialistic creed, was now to be exhibited in public by the z?a!ots cf tbe red terror. The public trialsof the propagandists In lS7s, like tbe trials of John Brown and his me i, instead of deterring the people enkindled a moral enthusiasm which spread through every rank of Ruftian society. The convicts were revered as holy maida, or as noble martyrs. The splendid courage of the condemned made converts by the tens of thousand. Blind to the result the Car hardened his heart and filled the Siberian mines and built new prisons which were soon overcrowded with ths Russian propaginJistJ. "The result was the sudden appearance of the Terrorists. Rebellion was inaugurated Odesia where Kovalsky, a Russian scholar, was ordered to be shot after a trial that was a faice. Other demonstrations were made. They were all rut down without mercy. listween an established Government with a million armed men and more, and the unorganized forces ef the new movement, it wis soon seen that no open war was po3si. Such dreams were abandoned. Meanwhile, and individually, not here and there, bat n every great city, and by the ecores, men arid women were sent to penal eervitude in the most loathsome prisons for no greater offenses than loaning a book, cr receiving a Iet'er from a suspect, or expressing a political opinion in the strictest privacy. Ko terrible we e the tortures Inflicted on these political prisoners that it is of official record thbt seven tyrlve committed suicide or went mad, and that at Karkorf there were revolts among them to Be core the earxe treatment that was awsrded the vilest ordinary criminal! "Tbe first shot was li red by a woman Vera Zaeaulic. She witnessed the brutal Urging of a rolitical prisoner, rushed to tbe scene and fired a revolver at the general who was orderir g it Trepoff. Sbe was tried aod acquitted The enraged Emperor, who hai net intended that she should be tried, b t sentenced, visited Trepoff when the wh" e city was rejoicing and ordered Zara to i rearrested. She escaped. Five months afterward Mesentzeff was shot dead the bead and front of tbe police ot Rnsiia, tha Czar's most important instrument of vengeance. From then till now the war, th is begun, has continued without pity. T;e life of the Czar and his officers were sacrificed as remorselessly as he hd sacrifice I tbe life of tbe Terrorist and his sympathizers. It will never cease until tue ultimatum of the Executive Committee is granted ' I iriuired what this ultimatum was and received a ccpy of it in a Russian magazine. When Alexander was killed," continued the Russian Nihilist, "tbe Executive Committee published a proclamation to bis son in which they agreed to abstain ironi further bloodshed on two conditions. They wiil surprise you by their moderation considering that they emanated from the central authority of the Terrorists who had ordered the death of the Emperor. They were, first, an absolute amnes'y for all political prisoners and offenders; and, second, the assembling of a convocation of the people the repreientatiycs to be voted for at an election, during which there should be entire freedom ot speech, of the press, of electoral addresses, of public meetings. That is all th Terrorists demand to discontinue tbeir war. Tbe Cerxand has cot been granted, and therefore the war must continue " Janas Rcdfatk.
