RUSSIAN PRIESTS
INCITE PEASANTS
Priests’ Words Are Higher
Than the Law.
Declare the Czar Is Not the “Little
Father” of His Perple
Any More.
Moscow, Nov. 2X.—Twenty-four prov
inces of Kussia, with a population of
J)2,000,000, arc now in an actual state of
revolution. Peasants are eveaywhere
seizin}; the land of the large holders, the
owners lning wholly unable to oppose
them.
I he (icasants are carrying tilings with
a vt-ry high hand. They are encouraged
hy the priests, whose word is higher
tlmn the law w ith these people. The
priests tell the people that the czar and
the grand dukes are issuing lies to them
in the form of ukases, and warn the
people not to lie deceived—that the czar
is not t hej‘' lit tie father" of his people
any more.
No one can tell where the effect of
this counsel will lead. At the present
time a very large portion of the great
Russian empire is in an actual state of
revolutn >n.

against federal laws of the United States
to sell, by liquor dealers, to him.
