The Jews of Russia.

LONDON Times,
In the days of the Emperor Nicholas 1t was q
subject OF reproaeh TO the Russian Jews that
they were all traders and not producers. That
reprosch has since been wiped away. and now
an enormous proportion have become skilled
artisans, agriculturists and professional men,
all adding largely 10 the wealth of the empire.
But under the new repressive laws all this COM
munal progress is TO be reversed-the artisan,
the farmer ana the professional man are all 70
be ruined. and those who survive the persecu-
ton must become traders in the over-crowded
towns. 1t is estimated that the total number Of
persons who will be expelled from their homes
under the new law win not be far from lo00,-
600. The consequent migration and the con-
gestion OF the starving fugitives in those cities
where Jews will still be allowed 10 dwell. will
be so dangerous, and possibly so pestiiental in
its results, that only one object can be contem-
plated by the instigators OF these prosecutions,
namely, the total determination OF the 100000
Jews of Russia.

products-wheat, -four, corn, oats, pork,
etc.
1t is worthy of note that this great and
healthy advance in the price OF farm prod
ucts precedes the actual effect of the law
upon the money circulation OF the country.
The government had merely commenced
buying bullion and issuing certificates in
payment, and these have not yet had time
to relieve the stringency of the market.
But the manifest good faith with which the
department intends to execute the law. and
the consequent assurance that there will
be plenty of money for the movement OF
the crops. have inspired confidence and pro-
duced these results.
This is more than was predicted or hoped
for by the most ardent advocates OF the
measure. They expected land predicted
benefits. but supposed that even alter the
certificates had begun to circulate it would
take some time for trade to adjust itself to
the new conditions. The effect in this case
is remindful of the surprise which followed
the resumption of specie payments after
the war. Up to that date treasury notes,
though full legal tender, had been at
discount, and IL had been supposed that on
the instantof announcing resumption there
would be dangerous run upon the
treasury.
To the establishment of all, even to the
shrewdest calculators, nothing of the kind
occurred. When people understood that
notes were convertible at will into coin,
nobody cared to convert them, and at
bound they took, and have ever since main
tanned their position on a par with gold,
and for nearly all purposes in the Eastern
states are the preferred currency. Public
confidence did what the legal tender pro-
vision of law had for years attempted in
vain to accomplish.
And so in this case. The people have
been inspired with confidence that the sill
yer purchases will be made the means of
preventing a stringency, and at once all
signs of stringency disappear. With the
free introduction of the certificates into the
circulation, there doubtless will be still
further upward movement in the prices of
farm products. and there is every indica-
ton that chiefly as result of this meas
ure the farmers of the United States will
realize from twenty to twenty-five per
cent more for this than they got for last
years crops.
Right here It is in order for the farming
community to stamp upon their memory
the indisputable fact that this great and
benefcent measure. so vastly beneficial to
them, was passed exclusively by Republic
an votes, with the Democrats voting unani-
mously against it,
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1890-08-22

every form of organic matter, but most
plentiful in the tougher clays. 1t is as
bright as, silver. and incorrosive. 1t is
tougher and stronger than steel. and far
lighter. Compared with q steel ship of
equal strength and dimensions, which
would draw 25 feet of water, it is estimated
that ship built of aluminium, while being
proof against rust and corroslon, would
draw but Z feet.
At the price named by Professor Hirsch
there can be little doubt that this metal
would enter largely into use for building
purposes, for decorations. furniture. table
ware and an incalculable diversity of tools
and implements. And If it be true, who
can estimate the value of this German
chemists contribution to the welfare of
mankind?

A common woman of the ashamed East,
Vermillion'd, henna'd, filthy, and unchaste,
Sat in the dust o. the vulture-cleansed bazaar
With her brown weanlng, filthy exc and sore;
OblivtOus sat of oaths and angers SD
Belwixt two hucksters wrangling DER her head
kissing the child, lover never tired.
Gazing, as one that ne'er before admired;
Her look dxed only on its duller eyes,
She kissed it with loves fever of surmise,
With the long, long kiss OF lovers that must part
With strained hush of the wild-guessing heart,
With passion endless as the deserts lie
Which the slow files of lofty camels pace
The trem bling sands sthirst from sky to sky,
The little one looked Away in her face,
And in brief pauses Of that long embrace
With its small fingers on her neck doth press,
Leaning forth eager to each hot caress.

Enjoined mosque worship-past the uncon-

The first report sent out from the census bu-
reau represented that Iowa had made an actual
loss in population since 1880 and would lose one
or more seats in congress- But the latest rough
estimate gives that state two million of popula-
tioH. gain OF 375,00o which will give it two or
more additional members in congress But the
same report sends Texas past Iowa by about as
much as the difference was the other way in
1880, and sends Nebraska from 452,402 up to
1,o42,2 i2, Indiana to nearly two and quarter
million, and Maryland beyond the million mark.

Alexander Sutton, when asked how he &C.
counted Tor the large numbers Of dead salmon
WA. stFew the banks OF the streams at times,
said that il was probably owing TO a variety of
reasons Sometimes large numbers were, no
DOUBT smothered or drowned by reason of the
immense numbers crowding between the banks.
Inc salmon is also liable TO disease, especially
a sort OF fungus that forms upon the head. All
OF these things may account for the mortality

II is claimed by many fishermen and Gamers
that salmon. after once passing up the river 10
the spawning BEDS never return, but die shortly
after depositing their ova This is a ridiculous
theory, but OF course it is hard to prove the
contrary. The many thousands of salmon
which are to be seen dead and rotting on the
shores OF the spawning streams in the interior
during the season has been taken as an evidence
that all the fish die after spawning. but beyond
that no further proof has been obtained, and no
further proof can be produced. Proof to the
contrary, however, has been received, which
KNOCKS on the head this strange theory and il
Is OF such positive nature that ii cannot be
denied.
When the fish are caught In the Harrison
rlver traps and stripped of their oya for the
fraser river hatchery. numbers of the fish are
marked, after being stripped and placed in the
second trap. The marking is usually done on
the tan, broad being cut into that member;
sometimes common punch is used, when q
mole Is cut through the dead skin. By these
MARKS the hsh once trapped are always
recognizable, no matter how many
years may nave passed since the opera
tion has been performed. Mr.. Thorna
Mowatt, inspector of fisheries. had three of
these marked nsh brought to him last summer.
and all were fully identified by the marks as
mother nsh that had gone through the hatchery
traps. Yesterday Mr.. Birrell, of the Anuieville
cahnery, sent Mr.. Mowatt fish which was SO
paiuly marked on the tail that il could not be
mistaken. This proved on inspection To be an
ether OF the marked FISH, and il also proved be-
yond doubt that the mother fish will not neces-
sariiy Ole alter spawning but on the contrary,
hVes and returns 10 the ocean and comes back
again 70 the Fraser next year to spawn again.
