TUESDAY EVENING, MAECH 29, 1881.
TERRORISM IN RUSSIA.
NIHILIST LEADER INTERVIEWED.
A System Under Which the Women Are
Brutalized and Degraded.
A Mr. Baker, a journalist, a Pole by
birth and ajmemberlet' the Russian Nihilist
party, was interviewed recently by the
Brooklyn Eagle and gave the results of an
interview between a committee of tue Ni
hilists and the late Emperor Alexan
der, in which that monarch was informed
of the abuses of which the people com
plained, and which h flatly refused te re
dress. We append the conclusion of that
interview, and some facts as te the condi
tion of the Russian people that will startle
our leaders and make a large draft upon
their sympathies.
Reporter Can yen mention any oilier
demand made at that meeting '.
Mr. Baker The cemmittee demanded
the withdrawal of state support from the
Greek church. This, of course, the Czar
would net hear of.
Reporter Why, of course '.'
Mr. Baker Because the Czar is the
head of the Greek church, ami arrogates
te himself equality with the Deity.
Reporter But that seems te involve
the most degraded .superstition en the part
of his subjects, does it net ?
Mr. Baker Of ceuisc it does. But. per
haps, you are net familiar with the history
of this phase of the ;evernir.cnt in Rus
sia. The first of the Romanoff:?, as you
de knew, was Michael Pcodevieh. This
Michael was the son of the than patriarch
of Russia, the supreme penlifif of the.
irrecK cliurcli, neltluig ;i position toward
the Greek Catholics that the pope does in
the Reman church. His. metliei was a
holy woman, a nun by tlie name of Mar
tba. Peter the Great", when he had a diffi
culty with the patriarch, Niceti, solved i'
easily by abolishing the patriarchate, and
assuming the tiara himself. lie went a
step further than Henry YIH of England,
though he adopted his method. Ever
since that- time the Czar has maintained
dual headship of political ami religious
Russia.
Reperte- Is this the creed cf intelli
gent Russians ?
Mr. Baker It is tteaseu te held any
ether. Let me icpcal toyeu a bit of the
Russian catechism. It is for use in holy
Russia ; bear in mind, and it is net writ
ten for circulation in the United States.
Father Bjcrring probably does net knew
it. It reads thus :
Question Wltai- de you believe :'
Answer I believe in Ged the Father
Almighty and in His equal and teptesen-
tative, our beloved mperer.
It is further taught as cue of the doc
trines of the church in this very same cat
echism, that " te the emperor is due ador
ation, worship and love beyond the Jove
which is given te father and mother.
Moreover, it is laid down by the church
that no man can enter heaven at. any time
who disobeys the emperor and his angel
officials." The emperor, when he pas.;cs
from this world, assumes a place at the
gates of liea vcn. Hi, predecessor resigns
that office te sit at the right baud of Ged
Christ, thcpatriaiclis, Alaaham. Isaac and
Jacob, Moses and the prophets, the apos
tles and saints and martyr;, sit at the left
hand of Ged. On the judgment day the
right hand of the threw will contain ex
clusively deceased Russian emperors.
Reporter But this doctrine is.scaicely
regatded as essential '.'
Mr. Baker In proof el this acceptance
let me tell you something you may net
have heard. When a few' months age the
emperor expressed his intention of making
Princess Dolgen.uki his wife, the question
arose in the lower classes, from which it is
difficult te remove the conception of thn
divinity of the Czar, whether their demi
god had a right te marry a subject. In
order te put her upon an equality with
the Czar, the church and state both went
te work te give an ancestry and at length
found that she had descended from the
archangel Michael, and this was solemnly
disseminated and largely believed by the
superstitious, ignorant people of the inte
rior. It is only a few weeks since one of
the Odessa papers published an editorial
warning its readers against association
with the reformers, en the ground they
would briug down upon them the wrath
of the Czar in heaven, who had a mutual
understanding with his brother, the Czar
en earth. I merely tell you these things
te illustrate the hapless ignorance of the
masses, the use te which superstitieu is
put te impede reform, and the rottenness
of a systam of government which depends
for existence upon such.
Reporter Suppose you mention a few
of the grievances.
Mr. Baker The American people have
been taught te believe the emancipation
of the serfs of Russia was something
equivalent te the negre emancipation of
President Lincoln. It is placed te the
credit of the late Czar thatjhc emancipated
23,000,000 serfs. lie did nethinsr of the
kind. The serf te-day is as completely a
slave as he ever was. lie has changed his
master, that is all. Before emancipation
he was in the thrall of the noble. Te-day
he is equally at the mercy of the head man
of the commune. The infamies practiced
under such a system arc almost tee shock
ing for a newspaper te narrate. But let
me tell you that during the last five decades
net mere than two thirds of the people of
Russia are the children of their reputed
fathers. That damnable unwritten law,
which the English law provides no modest
equivalent for, the 'us prime neetes,"
or, as the French put it, "Le dreit du
seigneur," prevails. Let me tell you that
every official, no matter what his rank is,
is in this respect a se'()ieur, and that the
husband of a pretty woman, the father of
a virtuous maiden, is compelled te sur
render her upon demand of any petty
office-holder under penalty of being sent
te Siberia. There is no remedv Te whom
can the outraged victim appeal for ven
geance? Te nobody. All this was laid
before the Czar in detail three weeks age,
and his reply was : "Ne constitution dur
ing my lifetime."
Reporter But is there no public punish
ment for such offenses ?
Mr. Baker There is a reward for it, net
punishment. In May, 1874 I published
in the Springfield llepubliam what was an
actnal occurrence, and what has never been
denied. Upen the emperor's ' names
day " a festival mere generally regarded
than a birthday in the town of Lusk, in
Poland, the people were requested te
illuminate their houses and turn eat in
their best attire te witness a review.
Such a request in Russia is a command.
While they sat looking at the re
view they found themselves slowly sur
rounded and hemmed m by the .la Kusk
infantry regiment. The colonel of this
regiment suddenly gave the weid of com
mand, " Children, amuse yourselves."
Three hundred of the maids and wires
were seized and outraged by the soldiers.
A number of men who fought for the
honor of the women wete killed in the
presence of the victims. The townsmen
sought an audience with the governor te
lay their wrongs before him, and were
refused. A petition was sent te the em
peror for an inquiry. It probably never
reached him. It was announced that the
Czar himself would shortly be present at
a review in that town, and a complaint
was drawn np by the citizens te be band
ed te the "Little Father " in person. At
the last moment it was announced that
the review would be held at Kieflf instead.
A few weeks later the colonel command-
idg the Ja Kusb infantry was made a
major-general.
Reporter But surely such outrages are
net common?
Mr. Baker Te my knewledge they are
net common, but bear in mind that what
.-ecs en in one commune is scarcely known
in the next one. I have no doubt that
equally atrocious acts are committed al
most every day .
Reporter De the people of Russia held
the emperor responsible ?
Mr. Baker They arc tee superstitious
I myself regret the taking of the life of
this man as a man, but as an emperor I de
net ; as the father of his people, conscious
of wiiat was going en and making no effort
te prevent it, L think he deserved his fate.
I ask the American pcople te be fair and
reserve a little of the odium which at
taches te Nihilism for tlie causes that have
called it into existcuce. I ask a little pity
for the thousands who have been sent te
Siberia for committing no crime at all. In
proof of the tales of horror and misery, I
refer the American people te an article
in the Fertniglitbf lieiiac of April
4. 1874, wiitten by Mr. Ash ten W.
Dilkc, brother of Sir Charles Dilke, him
self a member of Parliament. Since
1830 no less than one million people have
been sent te Siberia, including Poles, for
political offenses. About one-fourth of
these were sent te the mines net the
geld anil sivcr mines of Rev. Mr. Landsell
of England, but te the salt mines, and I
defy him or any ether apologist of the
system te point out half a dozen who
have outlived six years of their sentence.
Reporter Then assassination is due te a
feeling of vengeance as te policy.
Mr. Baker As there is scarcely a family
of birth that has net its representative in
Siberia as in Russia, when a man disap
pears nobody ventures te inquire after
him as wc de here ; as all classes live in a
mere dieadful slavery than ever, vengeance
against the Czar who assumes the rcspea-
sability for. the crimes is only natural.
She Had Business With Congress.
"Where's Congress:' I'm looking for
Congress," said a tall, one-cyed woman,
peering through one of the doers of the
Heuse of Representatives, the ether morn
ing. "Is that fellow with a bald head
Congress."
"What de you want with Congress,
anyhow ?" demanded a deputy doorkeeper
gruilly. "Held en? jv-u can't go in
there !"'
"I came from Bucks county, Pa., te
Fee Congress, and if you've get it en
draught anywhere around here, I want
some. What's the reason I can't go in
there?"
" Cause you can't. Nobody allowed here
but members."
"That red-headed man with a Mjuint a
member ?"
"Ne; he's one of the member's seore seere
arics. He has a light en the fleer."
'Ts that lop-sided chap with a wig one
el the secictaiies?"
"Ne : he's a friend of a member. Had
a pass."
"What s that baic-ieggcd boy falling
ever the back of a chair ? Has he get any
friends ?"'
"He's one of the pages."
"Who's that red-nosed artist, with a
sere car ? Did he have a pass ?"
"That's a messenger, lie don't need a
pass."
"What's that fellow with his legs en a
desk ? Is he one of the bosses ?"
" lie is one of the clerks."
" Any of them fellows pay any taxes'"
"I think net. Don't knew," -said the
deer-keeper indifferently.
"New, young fellow, you want te hunt
for room te stand in while I bust through
this deer. Don't feel with me, or your
friends will think yeu've been doing busi
ness with a steam grindstone. I pay taxes
en three acres and eight pigs up in Berks
county, and I'm truing through tins 'ere
Congress like a contribution box through
a congicgatien. Veu just crawl out of
sight, if you don't want your spine te
change places with the next township."
" Where's the Congress from Bucks
county? Shew me the Bucks county Con
gress, and if he don't get a bill through
this town te scud that hare-lipped old
sky-rocket, who wauts te foreclose a mort
gage en my place, te the penitentiary,
he'll wish he'd been born a tree and cut
dewti and burned up when he was young.
Point eutthc Congress from Bucks county
before I have you inside et t, te see hew
you're put together. Tell ma I cau't go
iu among a let of clerks, and passes and
pages ! If there's a square feet of Con
gress left by the time I reach it, it'll wish
it was covered with hair that comes out
without hurting.'
They induced her te leave by telling her
that the " Congress fiem Bucks county "
held its sessions in the patent office, and
she departed, threatening te get the bill
disposing of her mortgage through before
she left town, or make the Bucks county
member think a " cider barrel had busted
under him just as a shot tower fell en top
of him."
Hugged te Death.
An Iowa !lrl of Sixteen Dies In the Arini
of Her Lever.
Keokuk (Iowa) Gate City.
About 0 o'clock last night the family of
Jehn J. Rail, living two miles cast of this
city, was thrown into intense excitement
and despair by the sudden death of an
only daughter, Miss Minnie Rail, 10 years
of age. The young lady was in the parlor
at the time in company with. Charles Gray,
her affiancce. It seems from the state
ment of Mr. Gray, which was given with
broken sobs and tears, that the two were
seated en a lounge and he was urging her
te name au early day for their wedding.
The girl waH coy and bashful and hesi
tated about it. But the lever was impor
tunate and sought in every way te induce
a compliance with his wishes. At last she
consented, saying : " I will marry you in
April." In the excitement and joy of the
moment Mr. Gray threw his arms around
her waist and drew her te him with a
quick, passionate embrace. He was net
conscious of exerting unusual strength
and does net believe that he did. But the
girl gave a short, sharp scream, and ex
claiming " Oh ! Charley, I'm gene ! fell
deaden his arms, her head resting en his
shoulder. His frantic cries alarmed the
family, who came rushing into the room
te find the pitiful sight of the dead
girl lying pale and inanimate in her
lever's arms. A messenger was dispatched
pest-haste for Dr. Hale, who arrived with
in an hour, but nothing could be done.
The young lady was beyond all human
aid. It is the opinion of the physician
that heart disease was the immediate
cause of the girl's death. She was frail
and delicate and had long corep'a'ncd of
trouble with her heart. The excitement
incident te her conversation with her
lever had probably superinduced the at
tack which led te her premature death.
Naturally the famiiy aie overwhelmed
witli grief and young Gray is almost
beside himself with horror and despair.
Miss Minnie was a very handsome young
lady and was well known in the society
circles of this city. She was extremely
delicate and possessed a slender frame
which succumbed te the slightest attacks
of ill-health.
That Settled It.
Fitznoedlo was. out again worrying the
life out of the ducks with his shot cuu.
He blazed away at some ducks and an un un
secn man en the ether side et the pond
rese up threateningly, with a long gun and
called eut: " Did you sheet" at me?"
" Did any of the shot hit you ?" inquired
Fitznoedle. " Yes, they did," said the
man, rubbing his legs. " Then you may
be certain I didn't sheet at yett."' " I
never hit anything I sheet at."
