THE Omaha Herald Is showing

the eastern papersj changing the dates
of stale dispatches and attempting to
impose editorials deliberately scissored
from the New York papers a special

is the most shameful amd outrageous
literary piracy-worthy only of a patent

dispatches from the Ohicigo Timu ,

the whole tutus lifted Into the pages

DANGEROUS MEN.
New York contains a communist
who exults in the slaughter of the late
Czar of Russia , and openly declares
that certain , men in this country are
liable to the came fate. When press
ed to indicate who was meant , he said
"the heads uf 'American monopolies
have cause to tremble. " This lan
guage is used openly in an American
city by a man who daresto incite crazy
fugitives from European justice to in
augurate assassination as a means for
the redress of real orfancied grievances
and he Roes to the extent of indicating
the men , by naming two , whom he
would destroy. This monstrous
threat includes Buch men aa Yander-
bili , Gould , Scott , Garrejt , Dillon
and their associates who are at the
.head of American-railways , and goes
so far as to say so in terms which but
for his cowardice would be explicit.

The dangerous men in America are

can , at their will , make or unmake
presidents , nominate his cabinet , and
grant chartered privileges to them

scoundrels who have helped to rlvot

would not have dared to perpetrate.
Those men , Instead of resisting such
tyrannies are clamoring for the
suppression oi free speech and advo

more dangerous to the welfare of the

for the sufferings of humanity. Such wor

THE CZAR'S MURDEH.
irS PROBABLE EFFECT ON THE FOLITICAI
DESTINIES OF EUBOPE.
St. Louis QIohe-Ddnocrat. March 15.
The news from Russia yesterday
canned inlense excitement everywhere ,
but particularly smong the German
residents of the city , -who BOO in it
portentous signs cf the disturbance oi
peace in Europe. Below is a report
of the statements of one of the leadIng -
Ing German journalists of the city :
DK. PBEETORItrS ,
editor of The Weatliche Post , was
called upon. Toe doctor was
just engaged in conversation with s
gentleman on the very subject of the
reporter's inquiry. In an wer to n
previous question"Dr. Preetorius aafd :
"Complications ; yes , there -will be
complications everywhere. The Ori
ental question will ba complicated ,
and the relations of all the European
nations will be complicated. "
"How will it affect the relations be
tween Russia and Germany ? "
"To be enabled toanswer that ques
tion intelligibly one must go back to a
brief description of the relations as
they of late years' existed between the
two nations. There is , and always
has been , since the German provinces
of Llrland ( Livonia ) , Esthonla and
Cuorland were annexed to Russia , a
lively feeling of jealousy between the
peoples. "
' Germans mad at the annexation ! "
"No ; the provinces named are the
richest in the Russian empire , and the
German families from thosa province !
have furnished the Russian government -
ment all the highest and best officers ,
both local and impeaial , for a long
time. Every magistrate In Rniaia is
a German ; all their highest engineer
ing officers are German ; their public
works , both civil and military , are de
signed and constructed by Germans ;
in St. Petersburg and all large trading
towns from Riga , eri the "White Sea ,
to Odessa , on tbo Black , are Germans.
The German families represent nearly
all tbo weahh and intelligence of the
country , and it ( with nn expressive
shrug of the shoulders ) eeoms quite
natural tor the masievwho arc prac
tically governed by an alien race , to
be embittered and jealous of the ono
great tangible expression of German
ism t'.o German Empire. "
"Suppose Alexander bad died a
natural death instead by the hand of
an aasassin. Would that hive af
fected the European condition so
much ? "
"Certainly not. You see , there is
something behind all this. The dead
emperor married a daughter of the
Duke of Hesso Darmstadt , and from
her got a leaning favorably to Ger
many. Their eldest son , Nicholas ,
who died in 18G8was , undof the in
fluence of his mother , and grew up
with a feeling of respect for German
ideas. He died , as was currently.be-
lieved in the .much-mystified social
circles of Ruisia , from a kick in the
breast qiven by his younger brother
Alexander , the new emperor , but of
course theae stories must be taken
cum grano sails. Everything In Russia
where court affairs are surrounded by
all possible safeguards from publicity ,
gets talked of in a mysterious ,
subterranean sort of way. Any way
the Cz uro witch Nicholas died , and was
succeeded in his honors and heirship
by the Gzarowitsh Alexander , now
Alexander III. It is no secret , and
there h no mystery about it , that
Alexander , the son , became bitterly
hostile , in his conceptions of the true
Russian policy , to Alexander , the
father.Uo became identified with
both wings of the Panslavs the old
and the new Russians and became
their acknowledged chief and leader.
Now , the main idea of Panslaviam
may be set forth , in a single phrase
hostility to everything Germtn. Thsy
seek to make of the Slav the govern-
in ; ; race of the world , and while they
have been making a tool of Alexander ,
the Nihilisto have boon making tools
if both of them. The Nihilists have
no thought but hostility to the present
government , whatever that may bo ,
and they have not hesitated to Uio the
Czirowitch's protection to urge their
plots against the life of his father. It
is not to bo supposed that he was a
party to tbo conspiracy , though cir
cumstances ina > suggest it to some
minds , bnt the fact remains that he
has been the acknowledged chief and
leader of all the people who sought to
destroy the policy pursued by the late
emperor.
"A'nd in what direction will the
new policy tend ? "
"It must ba hostile to Germany ,
and the Russian government will be
supported in that hostility by the
Russian people. "
"But what can Russia dol"
"Alone , very little. There Io oven
some danger cf a civil war , which
might prevent her taking any aggres
sive action anywhere. Bui if the new
emperor possesses the energy of char
acter which people credit hinwith , he
will not allow time for a civil war to
be organized ; ho wi 1 declare war to
the south or west , and so band his people
ple together in the great union of
patriotism. Then tbo nihilists- will
not dare lift a hand ; they mast follow
to the war , though they may * ay to
themselves and secretly , 'After the
war we will settle with you. ' "
"But about Princess Dagmar's In
fluence ? "
iSha ia the daughter of Christian ,
of Denmark , from whom Germany
took the province of Sshleswig-Hol-
atein. She hatei Germany and every
thing German. Her brother George
is the king of Greece , and he shares
her feelings. The new emperor will
probably make a calH-p > w of Greece
to pull the great prize of Constantinople
ple out of the fire. A war against
Turkey will be most popular in Rns-
da , especially with Greece pushed to
; he front to take the first dint of the
jattle. France , who ordinarily would
> e oppeeed to such a movement be-
sause of her claims that the Medlter-
anein Is and should be a French lake ,
ronld join on this occasion for an
qulvalent. Her equivalent would be'
i war with Germany in alliance with
Russia , and possibly Denmark , where
by she might hope to recover Alsace
and * Lorraine , while hoping also.to
hnmilla'e the German arms and thus
avenge Sedan. "
"What are the relations between
Germany and Russia' ? "
"Bismarck has brought about an
alliance between the two countries ,
It is true that the news of th'o czar's
assassination will , In all likelihood ,
kill the old Emperor rf Germany ,
who is nov 84 years of ago. If it
does not kill him it will bo likely to
so far weaken him that he will lose
control of the government. In
either case the known hostility of the
crown prince to Bismarck and his
policy will nullify all influence of the
latter. He , as a controller of the
policy of Germany , will cease to ex-
Ut. This , however , will not effect
the cordial relations between. Austria
and Germany. The Austro Germans
and the Germans of the empire are
one family and ono people , while the
Magyars , or Hungarians , are more
bitterly hostile to the Slavs than the
Irish to the English. So there is no
chance of any separation or hostility
between the two great Germanic em
pires. " They will fight together if the
war comes. "
"Then it will be Russia and France
against all Germany ? "
' Yes.-1
"How about England ? "
"Well , she stands in a worse posi
tion than all. With her millions of
poorly paid people paying tribute out
of their earnings to the 2,000 families
who oirn the entire country ; with
these millions educated as they are ,
and thoroughly awake to the oppres
sions they suffer , and with tha loss of
prestige she has encountered at the
hands of Bismarck during the last
few years , it is hard to see what ehe
will do. She will probably try and
keep out of the fight try to kop
neutral. But that will be impossible.
The disturbance in her own borders
will compel her to enter the fight to
distract the attention of her people.
Moreover , there is her traditional
policy of cither keeping control of
Constantinople , or , at least , not al
lowing Russia to control it. No ; I
believe that we shall see the great war
that has been predicted for a century
past. "
"Then It would bo a good time to
buj wheat now ? "
"Yes , " laughing , "any way itjls a
good time to be in America. And an
other point : yon will see an immense
Influx of immigration growing out of
this affair. "
A NIHILIST'S STATEMENT.
Chicago Times Telegram.
NEW YORE , March 14. The promi
nent nihilist , John Baker , makes a
long statement , which , if accurate , is
important as showing some of the
immediate causes which precipitated
another attempt upon the czar's life.
Baker is a refugee from Poland , and he
belongs not to the radical and reck
less but to the conttitutional wing of
the revolutionists , who have adopted
the name jof nihilist. He sneaks
sovoil languages , claims to have
prompt andaccurato information about
all socialistic movements in Europe ,
and in many letters to The Springfield
Republican , The Brooklyn Eagle , and
other papers , he has undertaken to
throw light upon the subject of nihi
lizm In Russia. "Three weeks ago , "
said Baker , ' 'tho czir received Information
mation that a committee of leaders of
the secret revolutionary party in Rus
sia
DESIRED A CONFERENCE
with him for the purpose of giving
him information regarding the condi
tion of , affairs in his own empire , and
laying before him proofs and proposi
tions. They guaranteed his personal
safety , nnd rojuoolocl only n similar
guarantee on his part. The czar was
pleased to accept the proposition , and ,
accompanied by three of his most
trusted officers , met the committee.
The rendezvous was in St. Petersburg.
The committee laid before the czar ev
idence of the most convincing charac
ter of the atrocities and rogueries of
official ? , the wrongs of the people and
the real state of affairs. Tbo czar
was astonished at what ho learned ,
and demanded to know what remedy
the committee had in view. They de
clared that
A CONSTITUTION
was the only possible remedy for the
evils that were oa'ing out the heart of
Russia's prosperity. The czar re
plied : "No constitution during my
lifetime. " The court of St. Peters
burg , aa Is understood everywhere but
in Russia , is the most
LICENTIOUS AND CORRUPT ,
notwithstanding the divinity of its
head , in the world ; and the church
itself Is no better. The entire Amer
ican system of religious liberty and
education were urged upon 'horn , and
his only reply was : "NoconatituHon
during my lifetime. "
Rep What stops did the secret rev
olutionary government take ?
Mr. B. Thoughtful and p.ilriotic
men abhor assassination. Nihilism in
Russia is the slang name for two par
ties , one the desperate , vindictive
party of wholesale slaughter , and the
other the conservative and constitu
tional party of revolutionists. The lat
ter is the stronger , r.nd really controls
the former. It baa kept the hands of
the nihilists off the czir and his offi
cials. He has owed his life to the con
stitutional revolutionists and his death
to himself. His answer , ' 'No constitution -
tution during my lifetime , " deprived' (
the committee and the government of
all hopp of reform at his hands The
czarowitz has been declared emperor.
Every csir before ho ascends the
throne is a liberal. Alexander was a
liberal ; even Nicholas was a liberal.
THIS NEW CZAR
was n liberal. Lat us see if his liber
alism is genuine. If ho lives cp to
his promises to the revolutionists , wo
shall have a constitution ; if he does
not , without the least duubt in the
world ho will suffer his father's fate.
Rep. Did yon observe in to-day's
dispatch that the troops were ordered ,
officers and men , to remain In their
barracks. What significance do you
attach to that ?
Mr. B. That the government can
not rely upon the loyalty of its troops.
Rep. About what proportion of the
troops do you count upon as favoring
the revolutionary canse ?
Mr. B At least one-third.
Rep. And the officers ?
Mr. B. Among the officers the pro
portion Is greater. Thfrgrievances of
the people from whom they are draft
ed , the misery they see all round
them , the aotlvo propagandism of the
revolutionists and the myriad plots
that are going on under the no s of
the authorities , show that the army as
well as society is
HONEYCOMBED WITH REVOLUTIONARY
DISCONTENT.
It ia placed to the credit of the late
czar that he emancipsted 23,000,000.
serfs. He did nothing of the kind.
The serf to-day is as ( completely a
slave as ho over was. He has changed
his master ; that is all. Before emanci
pation he was in the thrall of the noble ;
to-day he is equally ac the mercy of
the head man of the command. The
Infamies practised under such a sys
tem ore almost tco shocking for a
newspaper to narrate. But let ma
tell you that during the last five de
cades not more than two-thirds of the
people of Russia are the children of
their reputed fathers. That damnable
unwritten law which the English lan
guage provides no modest equivalent
for , as the French put it , h droit du
stigneur , prevails. Let iae tell you
that every official , no matter what his !
; ank , is In this respect a seigneur , and
, hat tha husband of a pretty woman , (
the father of a virtuous maiden , Is
compelled to surrender her , upon de
mand , to any petty office-holder , un <
der penalty of being sent to Siberia.
There Is no remedy. To whom can
the outraged victim appeal for ven
geance ! To nobody. All this was
laid before the czar in detail , three
weeks ago , and his reply was : ' 'Nc
constitution during my lifetime.In
May , 1874,1 published In The Springfield -
field Republican what was an actual
occurrence , and what has never been
denied. Upon the "emperor's name's
da/ , "
A FESTIVAL
more generally regarded than a birth-
d y , in the town of Lask , in Poland ,
the people were requested to illumin
ate ther ; houses and turn out in theli
best attire to witness a review. Such
a request in Russia is a command.
While they sat looking at the review
they found themselves slowly sur
rounded and hemmed in by the Ja
Husk infantry regiment. The colonel
of this regiment suddenly gave the
word of command : "Children ,
amuse yourselves. " Three hundred
of the maids and wives were seized
and outraged by the soldiers. A
number of men who fought for the
honor of 'ha women were killed in
the presjnca of the victims. The
townsmen sought an audience with
the governor , to lay their wronga be
fore him , and were refused. A peti
tion was sent to the emperor for an
inquiry. It probably never reached
him. It was announced that the
czar himself would surely be present
at a review in that town , and a com
plaint was drawn up by the citizens to
be handed Vp the "Hltlo father" In
person. Artho last moment It was
announced that the review would be
held at K'eff ' instead. A few weeks
later the colonel commanding the Ja
Kusk infantry was made a major gen
eral. Such outrages are not common.
MANY OUTRAGES
occur that are never heard of ; but
bear in mind that what goes out in
one commune is scarcely known in
the next ono.
Rep. Do thu people of Russia
hold the superior responsible ?
Mr. B They are too superstitious ,
I myself regret the taking of the life
of this man as a man , bnt as an em
peror I do not. As the father of his
people , conscious of what was going
on and making no effort to prevent It ,
I think ho deserved his fate. I ask
the American people to be fair and re
serve a little of the odium which at
taches to nihilism for the causes that
have called it into existence. I ask a
little pity for the thousands and thou
sands who have been sent to Siberia
for committing no crime at all. In
"proof of the tales of horror and mis
ery I refer to an article in The Fort
nightly Review of May 4,1874 , writ
ten by Mr. Ashton W. Dilke , brother
of Sir Charles Dilko , himself a member -
ber of parliament. Since 1830 no leas
than ono million people have beeu
SENI TO SIBERIA ,
including Poles , for political offenses.
One-fourth of these wore sent to the
saltmines , and I defy any living apoll-
glst of the system to point out half a
dozen who have outlived six years of
their sentence. As there is scarcely a
family of , high birth that has not its
representatives In Siberia , as in Russia
when a man disappears nobody ven
tures tD inquire after him as wo do
here , as all classes live in a'more dread
ful slavery than ever , vengeance
against the czar , who assumsa re
sponsibility for theeo crimes , is only
natural.
Rep. What will the revolution
gain , If anything ?
Mr. B. A constitution. Wo can
not hope for a republic yet , and do
not ask it ; but the czar'a douth han
taught his successor that if ho is an
obstacle to the expansion and deliver
ance of Russia , he will die. It has
taught the wretched peasantry , upon
whoso ignorance depotlsm ia founded ,
that all hia divinity cannot protect
him against the penalty of tpranny. If
the new czar ia wise ho will under
stand that a constitution which ia
worth shedding Russian blood to gain
for Bulgaria is worthshedding despotic
blood to win ior Russia.
AN EXILE'S OPINION.
A Russian exile named Mtrgangon-
erally supposed to ba a nihiitst , who
has been in St' Louis some months ,
was asked for Information about his
order. His reply was : "Iknow nothing
'
ing about them , sir. I was not'a mem
ber of tha order , and although I
thought it bear to leave St. Peters-
burgh , it wes not because I was an in
mate of a secret society. "
"Have you read the account of the
assassination of the czar ? "
"Yee ; but you must not be too sure
that the nihilists did this thing. There
are many dissatisfied , who are not ui-
hiliata , in Russia. "
"Did you expect this news ? "
"Everybody who knows Russia bas-
experted it. I have expected it now
for yoars. When Gen. Mellkoff as
sumed control of the empire I thought
then , moro then ever , that
THE BURST "WOULD COME.
But no. You Americans do not know
Russia , I was a student in the Uni
versity of Moscow when sixty-eight
young men , moat of whom were inno
cent , were torn away into Siberian
exile. My poor father and sister are
now in Siberia. I will never eee them
again. The poor people became at
lait tired of all this. The house of
Romanoff has been ton thousand times
worse than the house of Bourbon.
The day comes now , and Russia will
be free freer than your America. "
"If the Nihilists have not done
this , who has ? "
"How do I know ! Perhaps someone
ono whoso family are in the mine * ,
and whs care not any longer to live.
They will now
WAIT UPON THE CZIROWITZ.
"If ha keeps hu word , there may
bo nothing more happen for a long
time ; but unless Russia ia given a
constitution , blood and iron will not
eave the Romanoffa. The whlto czar
is a very strong man , and a very great
man. Ho ha ? reglmcnls of ravage
Cossacks around him , aaleepr or awake ;
bnt the Oroini bomb can get through
the cordon. "
"Has the czarowltch promised a con
stitution to the empire ? "
"So it is siid. "
"Will that etcp the nihilist move
ment ? "
"I : will for a time. Tno nihilists
are only strong because the people are
ground down , and the only relief of
fered is this radical ono. We do not
want to go into the excesses of liberty ,
but they are better than the excesses
of despatism. "
"But the dead czir was a liberal ,
the emancipator of the eerfa. "
"Tnat Is the most misunderstood
thing in Russia. To be euro , that was
good for the sorfa. Why did he not ,
too , emancipate those who were not
setfs , but who were ground under as
badly as thay the burghers ? You
Americans do not know what tyranny
is , how it is to bo dependent on the
whim of a ruler and on the humors of
a patty tyrant under him.
RUSSIA IS ON A VOLCJNO ,
and if the czirowitch recallsthe exiles ,
iboliahcs tbo censorship which rules
aver every condition of life , snd gives
us a conatitntion , the eruption will not
: ome. "
' And if ho does not ? "
"Then society in Ru la will crum-
sle to pieces. The French reign of
: error will be aa nothing to the blood-
low of tha Sclav aristocracy. They
ire all rotten , and some time they
rill all go.
In a recent interview Tuth Mr. Jo
seph Gramer , one of the proprietors of
the Emerson Piano Company , Boston ,
Mass. , that gentleman remarked : I
have used that splendid remedy , St.
Jacobs Oil , in my family , and found jt
to7 be so very beneficial that I will
never be/without / it. It has cured me
of a severe case of rheumatism , after
other remedies had failed. '
