Wives for Western Jews.

We learn from the Reformer and Jelcish
Times Of this city that Hebrew bachelors in
the far West make frequent complaint that
the lack Of Hebrew maidens in their vicinity
compels them TO forego the joys Of married
life. In Leadville, H., for instance, there is
only one Jewish girl OF marriageable age,
while a score Of Dung Israeltes contend for
her hand. In other places there are many
Jewish bachelors who are anxious TO marry,
but are unable to find suitable wives OF their
own race and religion
This is an unfortunate state OF things, and
Is especially trying to the Jews, for they are
a people much given TO marrying, and get n
large share OF their enjoyment in the do
nestle circle, whore they exhibit the best
side OF their character, and present exam
pies OF marital fidelity and paternal and
filial devotion worthy OF the highest praise.
When they are in distant communities, with
few of their own faith about them, they
greatly miss tho ties OF home and family,
for, lacking them, they are apt TO be de-
prived almost entirely OF social pleasures
and the comforting and refining influences
of female companionship, They are shut
out from Christian society usually. or they
themselves shun it, and 80 they must
lead a sordid life, which is very bad for
them.
Though there may be more ntermarriages
nowadays between Jews and Christians than
formerly, they are, however, OF rare occur
renee even yet, and a strict Jew is moro
averse 10 wedding a Christian maiden, per-
haps, than she TO giving her hand TO him.
He wants a wife Of his own race and relig-
ion, and undoubtedly, with his convictions,
prejudces, and customs, he is wise TO go
unmarried rather than seek ono among
Christians who will not OF cannot adapt
themselves to his ways or get over their
repugnance to his Jewish blood and Hebrew
faith. In our Eastern cities there are now
Jews who arc so by race but not by religion
They really have no faith at all, are
thoroughgoing .materialists, intidels, or
even atheists, and pay no regard TO the
Mosaic law touching meats and sacred
0bservances. Such Jews may marry Chris
tian girls II they can win them for they
have wholly or largely conquered the pref
udlces Of their people, and they never put

they usually marry Jews, either from pref
ercnce or because they are unable TO get

love. Yet there are n good many Hebrew
husbands OF Christian wives in New York
who seem to enjoy their full share Of do
nestle happiness.

GEORGE l.. HowARDs body was found in
the woods near Yonkers on the Attn Of June,
1878. He had been shot in the back OF the
head and the corpse placed near an unfre-
quented road TO give the impression Of sui
eide The cause Of the assassination and
full particulars are printed elsewhere.
HOWARD was a graduate OF Western
university and spoke four languages His
parents were rich and respectable. He had
great mechanical skill and a taste for sci
entfc literature. Energetic and industrl-
Gus, he was a man OF tact and resources.
He ought TO have been an ornament to
society. but became a thief and burglar.
Engaged in burglaries and bank robberies
for over fifteen years, he yet escaped Inn
prisonment. He married into a respectable
family, and for a time was welcome guest
In envable social circles. His fate is At
commentary on his life.
There are lights and shadows in HowARD's
history. He liked the quiet happiness OF
domestic life, and while haunting old book
stores in search OF rare literature, planned
extraordinary burglarcs and carried out
his plans with cOnsummate skill. He studied
time and combination locks, and was en-
ploycd as mechanic in the workshops Of
the best safemakers. Aniliating with the
most noted bank burglars, he held his dis
lance, and worked on his own account with
different gangs, Detectives say at in ten
years he was implicated in burglares
aggregating over 100000
The revelations concerning DRAPER, PoR-
TER, DoDBs, IRVING, and other noted bur-
glars arc surprising These men have lived
Lxf, i.N.sF
Under assumed names they hired cottages
and brown-stone fronts in fashionable quar-
ters, and pursued their calling without eX-
citing suspicion. Their names appeared
! in city directories as salesmen, cotton
brokers, and detectives, and they enter
tanned right royalty. A Sunday game OF
croquot led TO the arrest of some Of the
gang though the authorities had enter
tanned no suspicion OF their real character.
Tho story reads like chapters from DU-
MASS novels. 1t exposes The defects of our
detective system. The detectives Of this city
are not specially at fault. They are simply
detailed patrolmen, who draw $1,000 year
and pay their own expenses 1t would have
cost ono OF them a years salary to CLEAN
the information now spread before the read
ers of The SUN. Theyare detectives only
in name, Every thief and politician knows
their business as well as though their backs
were labelled. They seem to be honest and
trustworthy, but the necessities Of their sit
uation force them into peculiar relations
with criminals, and make them really the
compounders OF crime and not its de-
tectors.
Tho story of HowARD's life ought to open
the eyes Of the Legislature With n genu-
Inc detective bureau, thoroughly organized
under the control OF a skilful Police Super
intendent, such crimes might be quickly
brought to light and the criminals pun

A Red Hat for Father Newman.

There is no contemporary name which
could 81 ed greater lustre on the Roman
Curia, in the eyes alike OF Catholics and
Protestants, than that Of JOHN Henry New
MAN. The bestowal of the Cardinalate upon
the most useful and eminent Englishman who
In our day has embraced the faith Of Rome,
will be held TO signaly attest the discern
ment OF LEO Kill Moreover the selection
OF churchman whose moderate opinions
are well known is an emphatic illustration
OF the temperate spirit which now controls
the Vatican. We would not affirm that a
place in the Sacred College was never before
offered TO the distinguished propagandist,
but there is ground. at all events, 10 doubt
whether his acceptance Of the honor was 50
strenuously urged.
Few persons would refuse TO credit Father
NEWMAN with superlativo services to the
Catholic Church in England, although he
has found able coadiutors IN the work which
he began. Such recognition Is no dispar-
Agemcnt Of the learning and winning inilu-
ence OF the late Cardinal WIsEMAN, or of the
energy and fervor OF his successor in epis-
copal functions, Cardinal MANEING. But TO
