Explanation Of the Jewish Trouble.

Goodwin Smith in North American Review.
The explanation of the whole trouble,
and of all the calamities and horrors at
tending it, past or to come, is that the
Jews are, to adopt the phrase borrowed by
Vice-Consul Wagstaff from natural history,
a parasitic race. Detached from their
own country, they insert themselves for
the purpose Of gain into the homes of other
nations, while they retain a marked and
repellant nationality of their own. They
are not the only parasitic race, though
they are incomparably the most important
and formidable the Armenians, the Greeks
of the dispersion, ancient and modern,
the Parsis, and even the humble Gypsies,
being other instances, while the Lombards
in the middle ages and the Italians gener-
ally when their country had fallen under
foreign dominion showed something like
the same tendency. There is, therefore,
nothing miraculous or mysterious in their
condition. Whence their parasitism took
its rise is point on which we seem not to
be clearly informed. We can only be sure
that it had q natural origin. Certainly it
was anterior to the destruction of Jerusa-
lem, though it was fixed and perpetuated
by that catastrophe. 1t may have begun
with the transportation to Babylon, and
navy OCOh OAbChoCo ny IL
Egypt under the Ptolemies. But it's prin-
eipal cause probably was the narrowness
of the Jewish territory combined with the
love of gain in the Jew. The Hebrew was
the near kinsman of the Phenician,
who by the narrowness of his territory
and his love of gain was likewise
impelled to adventure, and Jewish para
sitism is the counterpart, under another
form, of that Ph9nician colonization
which, unlike the nobler colonization of
the Greek, was strictly mercantile in its
aim. Apparently, there was a religious
party in Judea which wished to make the
people simple and pious tillers of the soil,
and from which emanated the ideai of that
polity of husbandmen with hereditary lots
and year of jubilee ascribed by its franz
ers to the great lawgiver of the race But
the trading instinct was too strong. In
the stories of the patriarch who bought
the birthright of his hungry brother for
mess of pottage, of the Jewish vizier who
taught Paraoh how to obtain the surrender
of all the freeholds of his people by taking
advantage of the famine, and of the
Hebrews who spoiled the Egyptians by
pretending to borrow Jewels which they
meant never to return, we see the gleam-
ings of character which was not likely
to be content with the moderate gains of a
small farming community.

Bend, Pa, comes the partial confederation
by Miller's attorney. The story
stated in substance that Miller was
an assumed name, that the man
knew nothing of the crime for which he
was convicted, but that on the night OF
the robbery he had shot and, as she
supposed, killed "pal." When arrested
he feared to make defense and thus re-
veal his whereabouts, and face, as ne be-
heved, the charge of murder.
This shooting was done in Cleveland.
The victim recovered, and the police never
knew of 1t at all. A dispatch from Pltts-
burg says Colonel William Moore, who
defended Miller yesterday, made q
statement based on CONFIDENTIAL
story of the client. In this Moore
says Miller was not the name OF the
man who committed the Conner robbery.
Neither is it the name OF the man who
served seven years in penitentiary for the
crime and is now sutton for the hand of
General Mosby's daughter.
The man known as "Shoe-Box" Miller is
the son of one of the wealthiest business
men and financiers of New York city.
Miller is a name adopted long after the
separation from his wealthy par
ents. When Miller was yet q
child his father and mother separated and
the child was deserted by the father. The
mother died and he was thrown upon the
mercies of the cold world. Since
that time he has borne q bitter
hatred for his father. In fact,
he would not recognize him. There is
positive proof that Miller was in Cleve-
land on the night of the robbery. He
never held one of the stolen bonds. The
man who committed the Conner crime
confessed and paid money to defend

Royal Yacht.

O. 4. Convention ut Amsterdam.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The Paris Eclair. which
Ii not given to sensationalism prints the fol-
lowing as confirmed by unquestionable
authority.
On the night following the departure of
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from
England the crew was beaten to quarters
and surprised to find the quarter deck
brilliantly illuminated. An altar had
been erected on deck. bearing the
Old and New Testaments and the
kaiser stood by wearing white
chauble, with a crosier in hand
and black and white mitre on his head.
He read the most warlike passages from
the Testaments and invited the crew to re-
spond. He then preached a long sermon
on the duty of sovereigns to the people.
The whole service lasted from IL p. m. to 2
q. m. The crew was then piped below. At o
o. m. the kaiser appeared on the bridge IN
the uniform of the high admiral, looking
extremely haggard, and addressing the
commander, said: "Sir, retire TO your
cabin; shall take charge"
The commander replied: "Sir, permit
me to observe that we are in dangerous
passage and it is advisable Tor your ma
jesty's safety, as well as that OF the crew,
that sailor remain in command"
The emperor responded: Never mind;
God viii inspire me-"
The commander bowed and retired, the
second officer remaining. The emperor
agrily babe him to retire, the officer re-
spectfully protesting. The emperor said:
ssYou resist2 Wretched creature; you
trouble the spirit of God which is in me-
This is the vengeance of God upon
you," dealing the officer heavy
blow on the cheek. The officer turned
crimson, but remained until the emperor
seized him by the throat, and tried to
throw him overheard. In the struggle
that followed the emperor fell and broke
his knee cap. The emperor howled with
pain, his eyes started from their sockets;
he foamed at the mouth; he swore
terribly and displayed all the symptoms of
madness. The officers, after consultation,
carried him into the cabin, nobody being
admitted except the doctor, empress and
men necessary to restrain him until the
leg was bandaged and straight jacket put
on him. The crisis lasted three days.

today. The Belgian delegates delivered
addresses heartily welcoming all visiting
delegates to Brussels and urging a union

with the declared intention to exclude anar-
chists, the Belgian delegates objected to
three anarchist delegates, and the con-
gress almost unanimously ratified the
objection. The houses of the
city are decoroted with banners and colors
of various societies, red being the prevail
ing color. The subjects for discussion are:
Legislative protection for labor; laws con-
corning combinations, strikes and boy
cotting; position andduty Of workmen re-

organizations towards the Jewish question;

The Need OF Organization for Women /.
Lady Ollie In North American Reyiaw

Iduy Dllle III NOrtn American Review.
Those of US, who, like myself, have been
brought through this work into that close
contact with the lowest conditions of labor
on q scale which is in itself an experience
rarely granted to women of our class, have
become more and more convinced that
organization is the only way to meet the
terrible problems which we have to face;
but, although we have to set ourselves
against home labor and to call on the
women at the forge, at the spindle and the
loom TO stand shoulder to shoulder with
the men and fight the battle of modern
industry with them in the market
of the world, yet we do this feeling, many
of us, day by day, the more
strongly, that our place, the place of the
woman in the land, is not here, but at the
hearth. If there were no other reason, a
sufficient ground for our labors might be
found in this, that the homes of England
are at stake; we are fighting for the man.
hood of her men, for the health of her
women for the future of her little child
rem. 1t is the home and the true welfare
of the family which are menaced by the
unregulated competition which, in our ag-
ricultural districts, sends the wife into the
winter fields whilst the husband too often
lounges oy tne pothouse hre; Wnlcn hunts
the Lancashire woman from her doors
in the dawning day whilst the babe is
yet hanging to her breast, or which chains
the growing girl to the forge and re-
wards her week of labor by half crown.
We ask ourselves: Is 1T good that the man
should stand idle2 Is it good that the
wife should work whilst the little ones cry
for their mother, and her girls and boys
are at play in the streets? And why does
the married woman snatch greedily at the
most miserably paid forms of labor? Not
because she has not enough to do at home.
but because the husbands wage has been
reduced till it no longer suffices for the
maintenance of his family; because the
little boy has no boots to go to school in,
or the little girl lacks the warm clothing
necessary to protect her in the bitter win
ter weather.

MeClopg is an active, intelligent gentle
man. and understands This business thor
oughly. In conversation with oiie OF our
citizens he volunteered the opinion that
there was considerable division in the SEN
timents of our people, and he had concluded
that this was about the hardest 20 y u to
manage that be had struck in ali his
travels.
1t looks to us as if a majority OF our
people were opposed to ~wate:WorkS,
whether constructed by an outside cor
poration, or by a lone company, or bythe
town itself, believing that there is not suit
icient need in a town of this size TO war
ran t their construction. There is another
portion of our people, and some OF them
heavy taxpayers, too, that favor both
waterworks and electric lights if owned
and operated by the borough and i'll its
interest, but they are in the minority aud
the only thing for them to do is to wait
till their party grows stronger innumbers.
Then again there is another element-the
one back of McClong-that wants water
works, let them cost what they Will.
There is not many of them, but they
have worked industriously to batter away
our peoples interest in the town for the
use and profit of a foreign corporation
and against Gas we belleve) the best in
terest and wishes of the residents of
Woodstown. That they have good rea-
sons for doing as they have done, which
it is safest to keep to themselves, appears
to be generally concede ed. In conclusion,
it is reasonably safe to say that we're
about done with waterworks, for a while
at least. and it is doubtless a lucky escape
for our taxnayers
