SOME refreshing idea of the liberties
this people enjoy, and of the blessed
breadth of the tolerance of the American
system, may be gained by comparison with
the harsh laws of Russia aimed against
the Jews. Recently a Jewish scholar
wished to transfer, as gift to his wife,
certain real estate that he possessed in the
city of Kieff, where they lived. When he
went to the Notary that official refused to
take his acknowledgment to the deed, be-
cause the wife, being a Jewess, is pro-
hibited from acquiring property of real
character. In vain the law student argued
that because of his being collegian, and
having won degree, that he came within
the exception of the law, and therefore
his wife partook of his privilege. The
Notary still refused, and a suit resulted,
but the Court held, as did the Senate as
the appellate tribunal, that the Notary
was right, and that though the husband,
because of his degree as a collegian, might
acquire realty and deed it away, he could
not give it to his own wife nor secure her
any right in it. As the Jewish scholar
gains his privilege to reside in Kieff only
by reason of his degree, it may be held
that his wife cannot live with him, since
she acquires no right through him. She
may, therefore, be driven out and COM
PEELED to live in some other district of the
land in which she was born, and not in the
city of her husbands home. A lovely
country is Russia, to be sure, and delight
fully humane are all her laws.

THE Baltimore american is to be cred
tied with witty and a wise epigram. 1t
declares that ''it is the habit of a great
many men to praise enterprise, and then
oppose enterprising men," What COM
munity is there that cannot bear testimony
to that truth? There is notably in our
country a spirit of distrust of enterprising
men. However disinterested their schemes,
however philanthropic their intention and
unselfsh their actions, they well know
that they must endure the taunt of those
who see in every active public-spirited and
philanthropic man an individual working
for some Interior purpose, one who is pos
ing for effect to advertise himself before the
world. The truth is, that great many
are indisposed to credit men with I'M
selfish endeavor, with conscientious de-
votion Of energy to the public good, with
conviction that they owe to the commune
ties in which they live something more
than tax-paying. 1t should be the aim Of
every true man to cultivate the enterpris-
ing citizen, to acknowledge his value, to
applaud his spirit and award him due
need of praise. If there we're none who
sacrificed something of self for the general
veal, We would soon become communities
of inaction, groups of civilized beings Gy-
ing not only in fear of each other, but in
the meanest of distrust and suspicion.
There would cease to be any such thing as
community pride, as public advancement,
as cultivation of the better part or any
thing progressive save the art of trading
America owes to her self-sacrifcing, enter
prising and unselfsh men all she has of
national honor, or cause for pride and ma
terial progress. The spirit of unselfishness,
of self-sacrifce, lies at the root of patriot
ism, and is the handspring of national and
community life. Without the selfsacri-
fcing, the enterprising, the pushing men,
the men who take pride in their race, and
find full reward in conscience for their
labor for others good, we should be little
better than prisoners hedged in by the
walls of business; shackled by selfshness.
Let us not distrust the men who manifest
public spirit, and stir their fellows to the
needs of enterprise, but have the courage
to honor them and do obeisanee to their
yigor. We need such men; they are,
even when radical and impracticable. the
leaven of progress and of community adj
vancement. By all means let US not dis
courage the disposition to applaud enter
prise on the one hand while distrust of
the enterprising man is at the same time
entertained.

and most of the rhymsters of Indianapolis
are graduates from her classes. As the
term of her service indicates, she is no
spring chicken, and has so far passed the
vealy age, that she may be presumed to
have entirely recovered from the attack
that visits all youth, and impels it to dream
of life, love and lucre, in rythmic measures.
1t must be, then, that Miss Anderson deems
the writing of given amount of poetry in
each month literary intellectual exercise
that is valuable in mental development,
and that will tend to the creation of
style of a good order. If any of us have
believed that the muse is a coy goddess,
neither to be wooed nor won, but that she
comes to those favored by her inspiration
as gift, benediction, gracious visitant,
we must disabuse ourselves. for Miss Ander-
son proposes to prove that any one may
write poetry, and be taught to write poetry.
OF course this depends upon that accom-
plished teachers idea of what constitutes
poetry. There are some of us who have
been so mistaken as to believe that it is
vitally essential that an influx of the
divine afflatus should move the soul to
poetic expression. We must now reform
our ideas, and under Miss Anderson ac-
cept the doctrine that the poetic art is to
be acquired as is shoe-making, or report

THE Socialists of Germany now claim
that the rescript of the Emperor upon the
industrial condition in Germany is in re-
ality socialism OF the most radical order !;
that it claims as the duty OF the State all
that the most advanced paternalism has
ever demanded. We confess that careful
reading of the edict with all its generali-
ties, confirms this view of the Socialists,
and that they are justified in claiming that
the Government has apparently come over
to them. But in detail the Emperor really
does little and promises less. 1t is a cum
ningly devised composition, crafty sound
ing, but not meaty with sincerity of per-

THE recent epidemic of Russian in
fuenza caused the use of antipyrine very
freely. As result, it has been abused in
the use. 1t appears that an appetite for
the drug is easily created, and its much
use induces nervous disorders, undermines
the constitution, causes great pain and dis
tress, and sometimes results in epileptic
fits. There are now in the Partisan hos
pitfalls numbers of patients under treat
ment for ills induced by indulgence in
antipyrine, and the French faculty has
raised a warning voice, for it is found
when the appetite is once acquired and
disease results, that it is exceedingly diff
cult to treat, and recovery is matter of
grave doubt.

THE United States has been compli-
mented in Parliament by the expression
that for whatever benefit England derives
in the settlement of the Samoan question
the American Government is entitled to
the credit. This is a frank avowal, and
does cousin John as much credit as it in
spires pride in Jonathan. But would the
aggressive and intense American be as
generous in acknowledging an obligation
to England? Are we not, after all, good
deal unjust in our judgment of English
sentiment towards ourselves?

A STRONG petition has been sent up to
the Postofice Department at Washington
against the admission to the mails of pub
locations of fictitious circulation, under the
pound rate rule for newspapers. II ought
to receive the attention of Congress if the
Postmaster-General will not act When
it was provided that newspapers might be
mailed from the offices of publication at
the pound rate, it was not intended that
tons Of books should be carried under that
rule. As it is now interpreted, publishers
of library SERIES" so called, by dating
their novels, mail them as regular issues of
journals. This is fraud upon the Gov
eminent, the people and the newspaper
and magazine press alike.
A perversion of the rule has led to a
further abuse-the mailing of mere circu-
lars at reduced rate, under the thin dis
guise of newspaper samples. As result,
legitimate newspaper publishing is in
lured and the Government mails are over
loaded and incumbered at dead loss to
the Postofice Department. Moreover, the
public is taxed to pay for the carriage of
matter it has not solicited or ordered sent
The prime purpose of the pound-rate reg
ulation was to accommodate the reading
public so that postage could be paid by the
newspaper publisher and the recipient of
the journal be freed from the old-time in
convenience of paying postage at the Office
of delivery. The rule has greatly facili-
tated work in the Postofices of the country
also, for it is no longer necessary for Post
masters to keep accounts with subscribers
as formerly, all the postage-paying being
done upon the weight ascertained, and by
the publisher,
