The Jews Enduring Qualities.

Miss Potters analysis of London labor Is a remarkable exposition of the Jewishimethod of rising in the world. The Gentiles have yet great deal, in a business way, to learn of this conjoined race. 'Long and irregular hours, periods of strain and periods of idle ness, scanty nourishment, dirt and over- crowding, casual charity, all the conditions which ruin the Anglo-Saxon and Irish inhab- itant seem to leave unhurt the moral and physical fiber of the Jew" He does not trouble himself about the conflicting ideals, the manifold devices, the complex necessities of our social life: but resists the temptations of great cities, and aims only at securing the reward of his law-''length of days and riches" "With few exceptions, the men re- main sober, the women chaste," and all sacri- lice comfort and ease for their offspring. Our race has been quite too ready to recognize it's own good qualities and the bad qualities of its neighbors. We shah progress faster with more generous spirit. Globe Democrat.

Conference of Leaders of the Democratic
 Discussed-Mr. Blaine Has Quiet Day.
 NEW YORK, Oct 30.-Col Lamont, who spent Sunday at his home in this state, was in this city yesterday and returned to Wash ington last night, While here he was in company with Governor Hill most of the day. A conference lasting three hours was held between the governor, Col. Lamont, Chairmen Murphy and Murtha, of the state Democratic committees, Robert A. Maxwell and George S. Weed, the latter four being in charge of the state campaign.
 One of the matters discussed was the heavy registration in this city and the difficulty of getting the full vote cast. It was decided that nothing could be done except to urge election inspectors to hurry balloting through, as it Is too late to call session of the legisla- ture for the purpose of lengthening the time now allowed by law of keeping the polls open Ten days notice is required by the constitution to make such a special session legal Governor Hill speaks ill Brooklyn tomorrow night and in this city Thursday night. Among his callers during the day was Chairman Brice, with whom he had a long conference.
 Mr. Blaine remained at the Fifth Avenue hotel all day, except about half an hour when he was out walking. Among his callers were William Walter Phelps, Chairman Cooper of the Pennsylvania Republican com- mittee, and Senator Blair of New Hampshire.
 This evening MT. Blaine speaks at Albany, and returning will go to Connecticut, where he speaks at Norwich Thursday and Ansonia Friday. He closes his tour with 8 speech in Brooklyn Saturday. His health Is

PARNELL'S SCOTCH SUIT.
An Important Omission Which Cause
 Widespread Comment.

An Important Omission Which Causes
 Widespread Comment.
 LONDON, Oct. 30-The fact that Mr. Par nells disclaimer of having sent the alleged check for e100 to Frank Byrne has not been included in the Irish leaders case against The Times in the Scotch courts has excited great deal of comment, and will initiate more against popular sympathy with him in England than anything that The Times has embodied in it's charges Concerning this omission MT. Frank Lewis, MT. Parnells solicitor, said that the neglect to in clude his clients denial in the attida- wits comprising his case was a complete surprise to himself as we'll as to MT. Parnell, who had written to his legal advisers in Edinburgh and was impatiently awaiting an explanation. Of course, if the commission finds in favor of Mr. Parnell little harm can be done by the omission, since the decision of the three judges will practically establish a final verdict, but it is assumed that the strongest possible case should be made out in view of the possibility, not to say proba- bility, that testimony may be forthcoming the character of which neither party at the present moment has any knowledge.

Canadian Pacific Wins.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 30.-The Canadian Pacific railroad obtained a great victory over the Northern Pacific in the courts when the judge rendered decision granting the injunction restraining the latter from cross ing the Canadian Pacific railroad track, and one of the grounds on which the injunction is granted is that the railway for which the crossing is desired is not being built by the Manitoba government, but is really the work of the Northern Pacific, which that company sought to disprove. The granting of the in junction is set back to the government, as they are now powerless to do anything until the supreme court at Ottawa is appealed to. This is certain to cause long delay in build ing the new line, and puts the farmers of Manitoba at the mercy of the Canadian Pa ciic monopoly at least another year. All danger of conflict is now over.

Yerkes' Indignant Denial.

CHICAGO, Oct. 80. President Yerkes said that the story published yesterday that the new men on the North Side street railway were dissatisfied and would strike, is all bosh s'No agreement he continued, twas made whereby the new men were to receive s3 per day, and they never expected it. When the new men were employed they knew exactly what they were going to get, and their wages have not been reduced. All this stuff in the papers is perfect bosh, and the story of a conference between the new men and my self is nonsense" MT. Yerkes explained that while the strike lasted be paid the new men B a day, because he thought they earned 1t, but since the strike ended the men have been receiving the wages agreed upon when he hired them.

\ Practical Joke Leads to a Riot,

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-A row occurred in
 the Eighth assembly district last night be- tween the Tammany organization and the John J. O'Brien Legion of Republicans, the latter capturing a truck from which the
 Democrats had been making speeches to the
 crowd. The meeting was about to close when the O'Brien Legion, who had been parading, raided the truck The leaders were well acquainted with each other and re- garded the affair more as a joke than ser iously, but some of the followers on both sides got excited, and there was quite a fracas, in the course of which two pistol shots were heard. Whether the firing was done in pickwickian sense or in earnest is conjectural. At any rate, the police thought it justified them in taking a serious view of the situation, and the street was soon cleared.

The Newburg, Dutchess and Connecticut Railroad company is granted until Nov. l, 1889, and the Long Island Railroad company until Dec l, 1888, to comply with the law.
 In the matter of the application of the Wagner Palace Car company from an ex- emption of the law, in cases where passenger cars run on the lines of railroads which are exempt from the operation of the statute or when cars are received from other states over roads not required to heat the cars by steam, the board sees no reason why the fires in the cars of this company, coming into the state from the Grand Trunk railroad, of Canada, or other lines, should not be dumped after the cars enter the state and the steam apparatus put into operation.
