The Hebrews Financial Methods.

1t is in finance rather than in trade,
however, that tho Hebrew ~mi1ionaires
have acquired most of their millions.
They may have begun as peddlers or
Office boys, but when they had scraped
together a little capital they commenced
to use it in the money market to make
more. 1t is worth noting, however, that
Jewish spectators, in the sense of mere
gamblers on the stock market, are rare
among the millionaires. The Seligmans,
Wormsers n the rest have gained vast
profits in stock speculation, it is true,
but the foundations Of their businesses
are laid on a legitimate and sound bank
ing basis. Intrepid as the Jew is in
taking chances, it is IN instinct with him
to have some force In reserve, while the
average gentle Spectator will gamble
away his last dollar, and that of other
people entrusted to him, going fairly mad
under the excitement Of the act.-Alfred
Trumble in New York News.

the Lu!lets singing in his ears, though that is
a pleasure not often enjoyed by men in his

What Blanc Did Saw.

New YORK, Aug, ia Washing
ton special to the Post this afternoon
says: The attention of a member of the
committee on finances was called this
to a published statement that Blaine sent
a message to Washington through Senator
Hale that it was inexpedient for Republl-
cans of the senate to request a tariff bill.
He said: This report is true in no par
ticular. 1t is a fact, however, that a
prominent Republican who did see Mr..
Blaine in New York and talked with him
on tariff matters did bring a message tc
the committee hat Mr.. Blaine does not
see that the Republicans of the senate
have any alternative except to prepare
and report a tariff bill. That is the only
suggestion that has come to the com
mittee as to the views of Mr.. Blaine on
the subject"

Right Doing from rnellnatioA

Contemplate now the doings Of one
whose acts according to Kant have no
moral worth. He goes through his daily
work not thinking of duty to wife and
child, but having in his thought the
pleasure of witnessing their welfare; and
on reaching home he delights to see his
little girl with rosy cheeks and laughing
eyes eating heartily. When he hands
back to a shopkeeper the shilling given in
excess of right change, he does not stop
to ask what h moral law requires: the
thought of profiting by the mans mis-
take Is intrinsically repugnant to him.
One who is drowning he plunges In to
rescue without any idea of duty, but be-
cause he cannot contemplate without
horror the death which threatens. If for
a worthy man who Is out of employment
he k much trouble to find q place, he
does 1t because the consciousness of the
mans difficulties is painful to him, and
because he knows that he will benefit not
only him but the employer who engages
HIM; no moral maxim enters his mind.
When he goes to see q sick friend the
gentle tones of his voice and the kindly
expression of his face show that he Is
come not from any sense OF obligation,
but because pity and a desire to raise his
friends spirits nave moved him. If he
aids in some public measure which helps
men TO help themselves, 1t Is not in pur-
suance of the admonition "do as you
would be done by" but because the dis
tresses round him make him unhappy
and the thought of mitigating them gives
him pleasure. And so throughout; he
ever does the right thing, not in obedience
to any injunction, but because he loves
the right thing In and for itself. And
now who would not like to live in a world
where every n was thus characterized

"Cool as a cucumber" says an exchange,

New York Mugwumps Anxious to Re
turn to the Republican Fold

Judge J. 5. L'Amoreaux. well known
Republican politician of Ballston Spa. has
been in New York a few days.
We have had a good many mugwumps in
our section, he said, s.but a change has come
over them of late. / heard prominent mug
wump say the other day that he voted against
Mr.. Blaine and did all he could TO defeat him.
but had long since discovered his error. He
declared that he would vote for Mr.. Blaine
against President Cleveland chiefly because
the latter was free trader and pseudo civil
service reformer. know many others who
voted for Mr.. Cleveland and abused Mr.
Blaine who regret their action, and assert
that they will support the Plumed knight
against President Cleveland or any Democrat.
One of these same violent mugwumps. who
heapei hysterical vituperation upon Mr..
Blaine in 1884. now concludes titat all public
men are more or less trasluced by campaign
ISLANDERS. OF course there are some free
trade mugwumps still rampant in my county
but they are not potent and do not hold the
balance of power in any of our local cleo

The Admission of States.

The passage of the bill by the Senate
establishing the State of South Dakota
puts the issue between that measure auJ
the Democratic plan very plainly. The
letter is the bill admitting Dakota, Utah
Washington and Montana. The New
York Herald, which is generally Demo
cratic, recognizes that the Democrat,
claim of bringing the whole of Dakota in
as one State is an injustice. That insists
on greater area for the new State than
the total of New York. Pennsylvania, and
Ohio, combined, which. as the Herald
justly says, is 'biting of too much" South
Dakota will be about the same size as
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, and will
only be exceeded by Texas, California.
Colorado aud Nevada. As to the plan of
making the admission of Dakota condition
al upon the admission of several other
Territories, one of which is in plain antag-
onism to the supremacy of the nation. that
is n bit of partnership that ought to he
impossible. but unfortunately is not.

That able Administration organ, the
Washington Post, is probably very close
to the truth when it says that ''the DE
pendent Pensions bill is dead so far as the
present session is concerned" And il
might have added with equal truthfuness
that the measure has been buried by Demo
cratic trickery to save Mr.. Cleveland from
the unpleasant alternative of stultifyiug
himself by signing 1t or defeating himself
by veto'ng it. But all such tactics and
chicanery proceed on the presumption that
the people have not sharp eyes and are
easily humbugged. That is an easy mistake
to be made by charlatans and superficial
minds.
