An absurd display Of international prejudice
is made by The Journal of St Petersburg in
its assertion that the agitation III England
over the persecution of the Jews in Russia
has its handspring in hatred toward the lat
ter country and in desire to disturb the
friendly relations now subSistins between il
and Great Britain. If the ST. Petersburg paper
knew rs much as il ought TO know about The
English people it would not thus misrepresent
purely phiianthropic demonstration. 1t Is
one of the best traits of the English or at
least of the better portion of them, that they are
always ready to denounce oppression and
wrong in whatever part of the world it may
show itself Greeks, Cyprotcs, Bulgarians,
Hcrzcgovinians, Beers, liottentots, jamaica
negroes, Uungarians and Poles have in times
past been the objects of just such expressions
of sympathy as are now being manifested i'll
behalf of the Russian Jews. That the Jews
are being shamefully treated in some portions
of the vast domains Of the Gar, we in New
York do not need to go further than our own
immigration depot to learn from the mouths OF
refugees who have como here to find the free
dom and Justice denied them in their old
homes

THE SUCCESS or BAD PLAYS.

The equal success which attends mpartlally.
various sorts of plays, good, bad, and Indifferent
throughout tins country IS. we suppose, to be ac-
ccDted as one among many proofs that it takes all
kinds of people to make u world. At first, to be
sure the observer is Likely TO be conscious of some
slight rralion--rosultant from an offended sense of
ju,tce-upon perceiying that 'i9." or The

eighty is more popular than King Lear; and
that actors Of the calbre of Buffalo Bill appear to be
held in equal public esteem with actors of the cal

which usually is the philosOphIc one, allays this
natural resentment by suggesting that there are in
the public mind. many grades of Intelligence that
the art which suits one Wi not suit another: and
that the verdict of class, tho prevalence of a

Mr.. McCoid, of Iowa, has bill pending III
the House to provide for tillng vacancy III
the Office of President caused by the death or
inability of both the President and Vice-Presi-
dent which differs widely from the present
law and from other measures recently offered
for the same purpose. Instead of naming -
third official to succeed to the vacancy, 1t pro-
vides for temporary exercise of executive
powers by the Secretary Of State, and Tor re-
converting the electoral colleges to make choice
of new men to take the two vacant offices.
In favor Of this proposition may be urged the
fact that it would secure the political complex
ion of an administration against change dur
ING the period Of four years for which 1t Is
elected A difficulty in the way OF its practl-
cal working might, however, be found i'll the
strong probability that thirty-clcht electoral
colleges, meeting at as many different state
capitals, and free from the directing force OF Il
National convention, would be unable to agree.
The result of their ballots might be the return
of q dozen candidates, no one having a major
ity OF the whole vote.

The name of Enoch Pratt, of Baltimore, is
TO be added to the list of wealthy philanthro-
pists whose good intentions ripen into deeds
before their death. HIS offer of $l,O0O,OO0

ficent one. Properly expended this sum will
secure one OF the largest circulating Libraries in
the world.

1t is suspected in Washington that IN max
ing his prolix speech Mr. Scovillc was talking
against time to prolong the trial until after
to-day. BY preventing its conclusion last
week he has made it impossible under the DIS
trjct law for Guiteau TO be executed, in case
he is convicted, before June or July next The
law provides that in capital cases the execu-
ton of sentence shall be postponed until the
expiration of a period of not more than thirty
DAVIS after the close of the next appellate term
of the court. An appellate term, put ofi' no
doubt, in order to bring it beyond the con-
clusion of the trial begins to-day. The next
one commences on the first Monday in April,
and will probably last until about the LIST OF
June. Perhaps Scoville's long speech has
gained for his client three or four months ad-
ditonal lease OF life.

Inquiries among the real estate agents show
that there is a tendency to 4 moderate increase
in the rentals of desirable downtown business
property, and that the prices for dwellings
during the coming year will probably be
about the same as at present An upward
movement in houses and apartments might be
expected as result of the prosperous times

atoms in Harlem and the convenience with
which that once distant suburb can now be

1t is strange that years after all the military
nations of the world have devised satisfactory
systems for making heavy Tifed cannon, our
Ordnance Bureau should still be i'll the expert

III a nebulOus condition. What is needed is the
prompt adoption of two methods one tC make

OEVnISH DAY.
A 5ooundrel Brought to Justice.

For some ten days or two weeks past
several little girls in attendance on the
public schools have been prosecuted by
thing calling itself q man, who has
been making indecent exposures Of his
person and offering candy and small
sums of money to them. The little in
nocents complained to irparents. and
last evening the scoundrel met with a
faint reconpensc for his fiendish work.
Between half-past seven and eight
o'clock Mr.. Fred Taylor's atsn-
ton was called to the fact that this mau
was renewing his nefarious proposals in
the alley back of Dellinger's. Rushing
to the scene he followed the miscreant
through Mathews saloon, where
the wretch had stopped to take IL
drink, and accosting him on Main
street, told him he, Taylor, wanted to
see him moment. The thing said he
wanted to go to the post office, hut just
then three Of the little girls
came around the corner on Gram
tie street, and instantly cried out:
THAT'S the man; he's the man that
came to tie Caplice building and offered
us candy" This was enough, and in.
deed more than IN injured parent could
bea +, and Mr.. Taylor could not refrain
from knocking him down, which he in-
stantly did. Marshal Smith came up
soon afterwartl, and the prisoner was
taken to Casey 4 Brophy's store, where
he was identified by several other little
girls. He was taken to Jail, and Mr..
Taylor was notified to he present ut the
bearing this morning. The accused is
ABOUT thirty-five years Of age, u wood-
chopper. and has been ut work in Black
tail Canyon. II this horrible charge is
substantiated, 10 punishment is too Sc
we're for him.

Northern Pacific Railroad Company

extending along the east bank of the
Mississippi river between Anoka, q

nine miles north of St. Cloud, the en-
tire purchase including about sixty
miles Of completed railway. In conse-
quence of this purchase the Northern
Pacific will build q bridge at Anoka.
and enter Minneapolis from the nortl.
instead Of as now from the east.
1t is stated on the authority Of the
