Geneva, November 4 (October 22).

The “constitutional” manifesto of Nicholas the Bloody has been followed by fresh, countless murders organised by Trepov and his gang. The outrages of the Cossacks, the Jewish pogroms, the shooting down in the streets of politicians who have just been “amnestied”, the robberies perpetrated by the Black Hundreds with the aid of the police—all these means have been employed to suppress the revolutionary struggle.

The Tsar has rendered the revolutionaries a great service by confirming their appraisal of the lying concession, of the vile comedy of the “liberal” manifesto. The Tsar himself wants to provoke a fresh, determined struggle. So much the better! The whole work of the Social-Democrats, the whole energy of the proletariat will now be directed towards preparing the next onslaught, towards destroying the monster of tsarism, which, in its death throes, is making a last attempt to inflame the dark instincts of the dark masses. The more zeal Trepov displays now, the more certain is the complete collapse of the whole Trepov regime and of all the Romanovs.
