A PLEA FOR FREEDOM.

Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore was
asked for his opinion concerning the per-
secution of the Hebrews in Russia, and he
made some remarks which show that at
least one Roman Catholic in high station
understands and appreciates the princi-
pies which underlie the government of
this country. Said he.
Long experience has shown that no race
on earth can be exterminated by persecu-
ton, and the systematic grinding down,
called persecution, as practised by some
nations, has often reacted upon them
selves. AS opposed to this unfair treat
ment, the United States furnishes the
world with the most beautiful example of
religious liberation by giving the amplest
liberty to all, without interfering with any
creed. If any individuals of the Hebrew
race commit an offense against society or
morality in Russia, they should be dealt
with according to the laws of the coun-
try, and the code of laws of all civilized
governments ought to be sufficient to
protect their people without drastic
remedies as the exterminating pro-
cess. The Jews generally have ac-
quired the reputation of being
good husbands and devoted fathers,
faithful to their domestic duties,
dhSi oo oio ShoA SSo eASAA AaAoAoiAey
cannot be true. In strong contrast to
these crimes alleged against Russia is an
incident in the life of Pope Gregory the
Great, who lived in the sixth century. 1t
is recorded of him that a certain rich Jew,
q leader in his community and the chief
support of bis congregation, became
Christian, and, in the excess of his zeal
after embracing the new creed, took pos
session of the synagogue, closed it to the
Jews and determined to make a church of
it. When a complaint was made to the
Pope by the aggrieved Jews he ordered
the restoration of the place of worship to
the former congregation and saw to it that
they were not molested in their devotions.
I express the ardent hope that all nations,
through their governments, will become
more and more tolerant in matters of re-
| ligion, Just as we are in this country; that
they will take these United States as their
guide, where all men-standing equal in
the sight of God-are equal before the
| law. They must remember it is not by CO.
ercion that men are converted but by an
| appeal to their consciences
This utterance does credit to the Car
dinars head and heart. If the Roman
Catholic church in this country is guided
by such spirit as appears in this Ameri.
can institutions have nothing to fear from

the Dallas News, "that legislation for this
purpose is for the special benefit of the
farmer class can be insisted upon with no
greater force than that the manufacture of
farm wagons in the penitentiary is similar
ly for the benefit of the same class. Bag
are sold to them, at remunerative prices"

The oldFdeas do not always deserve to be
displaced by new ones. An interesting
and apparently effective application of an
old idea has been made by Major Robert
w. McClaughry, warden of the State re-
formitory at Huntington, Pennsylvania,
who subjugates refractory convicts by
spanking them. The major has consulted
the governor of the State and the chair
man of the state board of charities, an old
time Quaker, both of whom gave unquali-
fed approval. The Quaker chairman, in
commending the new form of punishment,
said: ''Major, thee deserves, thanks and
should go ON with thy noble work. 1t re-
minds me of my sainted mother, who has
been in heaven manya year. 1t was her
fayorite method of correction, and 1 tell
thee, major, she did it well. 1t is proper
and humane, and approve of the hand
somely spanking thy boys into submis-
sion and obedience" Warden McClaughry
has had most beneficial results from his
new practice.
The products of the mines of the world,
according to the last number of the
Economists Franchise, were in 1888, in
tons: Iron, %, 512 900; copper, 341 900;
| lead, $4,000; zinc, 344, 900; tin, $4,000;
quicksilver, 1000; cobalt, nickel. anti
mony, etc., 5000. The production of gold
was 166, ,225 kilogrammes; of silver, 3,720,-
751. There were, moreover, 466, ,406, 900
tons of coal brought to light, 5,712, 900
of petroleum, S,347, 900 tons of salt and
about 3,700, 900 tons of other similar pro-
ducts. The grand total in tons was 60S,-
939, 900, with q valuation of 81, ,776, ,000, 900.
To this vast sum Goals alone contribute
almost 100000, 600, or about forty per
cent, while the precious metals, gold and
silver, contribute but $500, ,000,0 In
1888 226 mines were operated proftably
| in France and 201 were worked at loss.
The total profit was $S,000,0 900; the total
loss, 81, 100000. Coal is most expensive
in France and cheapest in Austria, where
in 1888 the price was s1.10 per ton. =.

Great Artistic Conception for Theater
Posters and Medicine Lab1es.
IErnm the New York Snn1

Doubtless many persons having no partic
ular reverence for art have been shocked
at the spectacle of rude chromos of Millef's
famous "Angelus" displayed in grocers'
windows as premiums to buyers of wash
ing soap. 1t may be said that the subordi-
nation of a great work of art to commerce
is not only bad picture, but it is also in
some measure an injustice to the original
artist, although the reproduction may be
so far removed from the original as to be
but wretched caricature.
The fate of ''The Angelus'' is not unlike
that of many other famous pictures. The
two cherubs that are seen at the base of
s'The Sistine Madonna by Raphael, have
been reproduced in many forms for adver-
tising purposes. They served as the sug-
gestion for picture of Robson and Crane
peeping over a wall in a poster for ''The
Two Dromios," )" and have also been utilized
for companion cats and dogs.
Gerome's famous picture of ssThe
Chariot Race" was long used as the basis
lough's Spartacus. The charming pic
ture "sIy Dog and l." by a Munich ar
tist, representing a child sitting on q
plank stretched over a stream, has been
utilized in q hundred ways. One of the
latest was to put plaster on the child's
| back and use il as an advertisement for a
patent plaster.
Some time ago Firth, the English ar
tist, had q legal contest with an English
merchant who had bought one of his
pictures and proposed to convert it to
commercial purposes. The merchant was
restrained by Judicial injunction, the
court holding that the artist had a
sufficient interest in his reputation to en-
title him to protection from such use of his
| his work.
Some of Landseer's famous animal paint
/ ings have been reproduced as advertise
ments. His ideas have even been utilized
in the making of lager beer cards and
labels on kegs.
1t is said that Meissonier refused S1O0, 900
for picture to be used as an advertise
ment, considering thatit would be detri-
ment to his reputation and a degradation of
| art
The designs of some of the national
pictures in Washington have been utilized
as drop curtains by scenic artists. Nota-

from the New York SUM-
In rear room on the second floor of
the new brick building at Ill east Twenty
second street is stoutly built box, 4 by 4,
with an air-tight glass door in the front of
it. A small pipe leads from one side of
this box into the wall Another and lar
ger pipe leads up through the ceiling. On
each pipe there is a stopcock. This box is
dedicated and devoted to the destruction
of life. During the course of a year thou
sands of living beings perish, quietly and
peacefully, within its walls.
1t is the most meciful adjunct of that
most merciful organization, the American
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to An
imals. For there dumb misery of all kinds
of lesser animals finds a tranquil end.
Many a sick and weary dog, many har-
rassed and lacerated cat, many a tortured
chicken, has entered the square hole into
which the glass door fits and within a few
seconds has ceased to dream of the fever
that life always is to stray animals.
The process is simple and humane. The
door is opened and all the animals on hand
are put into the box. Then the door is
closed and screwed tightly. The chimney
pipe is gradually closed and the gas pipe is
opened. Within few seconds the box is
filed with coal gas and the animals sink
into a heavy sleep, which ends within
three minutes in death. The bodies are then
taken out, and the dead wagon calls to re
move them where the dead bodies of New
York animals 60.
