rBAoHtsa raE LOVE OF MONEY.

A Western Superintendent of Public In
struction, by regular system, is teaching
the children in the public schools the love
of money. he teaches them by many
methods how to make it, save it, invest it,
increase itself, enlarge its returns, etc.,
and for the most successful there are cor
responding and independent rewards. This
occasions the New York Tribune to throw
mp its hands and exclaim The chill
dren but, God save US, are there any
more children - With such accounts be-
fore us, we feel like prophesying that pres
emily the reply may be made in the mega
tive. Certainly there is no need to mature
children more rapidly by teaching them
either the love Of money or the art of mere
money getting. To be frugal, to avoid
spendthrift habits, to labor and earn ac-
cording to strength, the wise parent teaches
the child. He impresses upon him the
value of money, but avoids all teachings
that inculcate love of it. Our contem-
porary believes that children long have
been and are taught now, to love money
for its own sake, and in its anger, as it re-
marks upon it, goes to the extreme of charg-
ing present evils largely to that fact-as
peculation in Office, laxity of financial
morals, recklessness in trade, instability in
commerce, frequency of ENLIGHTENMENT,
and =" a low standard of value in all things
material, intellectual and religious" But
witboG. stopping to consider the business
Of these conclusions, the allegation that love
OF money is taught is to be admitted, and
condemnation of official school systems
in that direction to be approved. The
world of example as to money and its
methods will tutor our children soon
enough. We need rather to impress upon
them the right use of money, for in its
misuse is to be found the root of the evil.
They should be taught It's value as a means
to lofty and pure ends, and the fatality of
stsntly in view. DR.. Crosby fears that
the danger to our institutions resides in
the personal accumulations of wealth, the
antagonisms aggregated capital awakens,
and the classes it creates and sets apart.
If that be true the remedy is to be found
in teaching youth the right use of wealth,
and in such manner that the impression
will never be lost, and this will prove more
effective than all the restrictive govern
mental measures the alarmists suggest.
We can control and guide the love of
money if we will, by intoxicating the
greater love for all that is better than
money. If the rich Cypress the poor, and
the poor come to hate as well as envy the
rich, and dangerous antagonism results,
it is not of necessity because of the wealth
of the one or the poverty of the other
class. In the evolution of ambition,
the rich and poor change places. As
Seneca puts it, the fault is not in riches,
but in the mind. If the love of humanity
is subordinated to the love of gold, the
germ Of the cause is to be found in early
education, and political control will give us
no corrective virtue. At all events, what
Ovid termed "the ungovernable passion

A QUESTION OF DESIGNATION.

The Hebre,c Leader complains of the
barbarous custom of using the appellation
slew" as an epithet. 1t claims that
Judaism is not nationality, as there is no
Jewish nation, yet if Hebrew is in Court
with many, or a party to suit with
others, 90 no designation of religion or ma
tionality is made in regard to any one else
except him. The Leader is warranted in
its protest the followers of other faiths
are seldom addressed by the UNCONVENTIONAL
title but we think it is in error in assum.
ing that the title Jew is used by the
general public in an offensive sense. 1t has
rather come to be a conventional term,
without other special meaning than to
designate class of people very distinctive
in their characteristics, and is but rarely
used in this day as Sc an epithet," and then
it is not to be mistaken as to its character.
We speak of the Irish, the Germans, the
Scotch, as classes of people more or less
clannish, maintaining among US distinctive
organizations, and adhering to customs
that not only indicate but prominently and
most often proudly present the fact of ma
tionality. The Hebrews, however, are of
nearly all nationalities, and when they are
spoken of as Jews with intent to of.
fend, it is matter of manner, and one
that applies as often when other classes
are mentioned, as in the case of the
term Yankee, to indicate objectionable
shrewdness, or "Pike," to designate
degree of ignorance, or "Hoosier,"
kind of stupidity. The truth of it is, there
is altogether too much sensitiveness among
certain classes of our people regarding ref
erence to them as classes. The word
"Jew is used at times to give offense
and if the word " Hebrew should en-.
tirely take its place, the manner of its use
might make it just as Objectionable as
when Irishmen or Yankees or Hoosiers are
spoken of disrespectfully. We have had
occasion before to remark upon the dangers
of clannishness, and this subject is akin to
it. Sensible men will not manifest squeam.
ishness when the subject is preached, sim.
ply because their nationality OF faith may
be included in the criticism. Evidence is
addressed to reason, and it is as clear as
MONDAY that clsnnishness of nationalities
is a growing evil in this republic To hide
bound prejudice it is useless to appeal
only blows serve for it. When, however,
a class is spoken of with view of casting
odium upon it, there can be no mistake
made as to the intent. We should feel no
hesitancy whatever in speaking of the
Jews as a class, and in discussing their
characteristics, or criticising their class
errors if occasion presented. But it is
true that there is not frequent cause to
do so, and that in American politics the
Hebrews are less known as class and |
exhibit less of clannishness than any other
race of people. 1t is certain that they
less than any race intrude the question of
their religion into public affairs, and in
that regard they afford all Others an ex-
cellent example.

SILK CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA

very interesting paper appears in this
issue upon silk culture in California 1t
is an interview had between a press
representative and the Secretary of the
California Silk Culturists' Association.
When the bill in aid of the Association
was pending before the late Legislature
we gave attention to the subject, and set
out some of the reasons for encouraging
the silk industry. The bill passed giving
81, 500 to promote the establishment of a
silk-reeling school. 1t is source of much
qualification to know that deep interest
has been awakened in this State on the
subject of silk culture. 1t opens up an
avenue for the employment of labor that
has had few opportunities to reward
itself heretofore. Silk worms are now
being raised in thirty.two of the
fifty.two counties of the State.
1t is an employment that engages women
and children mainly. 1t calls for no Sc
we're physical exertion, and is an industry

nominal amount. Indeed, it is prosecuted
to the best advantage by farmers families,
the wife, daughters and younger children
of the household, and as a rule engages
time that is generally known as "spare
hours. The risks taken are so slight as
to be unworthy of mention, and thus far
no loss has been entailed upon any one who
has engaged in the business here. The
cocoons OF California growth yield better
quality of silk than those of any other
country, and command at present prem
Jun over ordinary market values. The
mulberry tree, the leaves of which consti-
tute the food of the silk-worm, will grow
throughout two-thirds of the area of the
State. Twenty or thirty trees are sufficient
to engage the labor of family of ordinary
large profitable returns to the cultiyator.
Each tree will furnish food sufficient
for one thousand worms, and fifty per cent.
more with care and under scientific culture.
The paper we publish gives interesting
details as to the prices eggs and cocoons
command, and the profits to be realized.
While these are not SO large as to enter
into the speculative realm, they have the
higher qualities of certainty and the min
imum of risk assumed. There is also an.
other important consideration involved
that there is no danger of too many en-
gaging in the industry. 1t is impossible
TO oyerstock the market with silk cocoons,
or at least it will be for great many years
to come. The industry may therefore
well engage all the surplus labor of the
State represented by women and children,
and this, too, without withdrawing the
one class from household duty. or the other
from the schools, for the time employed in
caring for the worms and moths can be SO
adjusted as not to interfere, with any seri.

inquire somewhat closely into the subject,
have witnessed some practical ex.

viction has resulted that though silk
growing is the third textile industry in the

day, find large element of wealth in silk

the domestic demand for coeoons, and that
the demand will augment with the extern.

NOT AS EXPECTED.

The Legislature of Indiana established
last year metropolitan police system.
The real purpose was to convert the police
force of Indianapolis into political ma
chine for the convenient use of the Demo.
cratic party. But the pretty plan has not
turned out as was expected. The Com
missioners appointed were party men, Sut
besides proved to have due appreciation
of their duties as officers when once sworn
in. They manifested desire from the
outset to secure good force of competent
men, irrespective of their political beliefs,
and ward politicians, log-rollers and ballot
box DULLES, who expected to put on the
stripes and bands of commanding and
squad officers, were given distinctly to
understand that they would receive no
consideration except on examination as to
competency, character and fitness. OF
course the party men are furious at this
inauguration of civil service reform, and a
demand has been made for the application
of the party lash to the backs of these
self.respecting Commissioners. As re-
suit there is very animated debate going
on in the Hoosier State as to whether the
Commissioners shall be sustained or incon-
tinently broken on the political wheel.

A sharp Game.

A new scheme to take in the unwary
was practiced on an innocent German
farmer OF Milford Monday afternoon. A
couple of sharpers hired buggy here
at Humphreys livery stable and drove
down to the village. They came in
contact with their victim and showed
him small box containing thin cake
of soap and placing twenty dollar bill
in the box, challenged the farmer to give
$500 for the box and its contents. Oh
course he would and handed over the
$500 for the box. The men drove away
rapidly and as they disappeared the pur.
chaser took look into the box only to
discover that it was minus the twenty
dollar bill. The sharpers reached here in
haste, paid for the use of the horse, and
left town soon after on Northwestern
freight train.
