LONDON, Oct. IA st. Petersburg
dispatch The Daily News, of this city,
says:
The United States immigration COM
missioners, who have recently been Wis
iting Russia, were painfully impressed
by the condition of the Jews who are
within the pale. They saw, according
to The News correspondent, number
of curious examples of the Russian ad-
ministration, of which the following in
stance is given: A Jew suffering from
hydrophobia was being treated at the
Pasteur institute, at Moscow. When
supposed to be cured a gendarme ar
rived at the institute and the Jew was
conducted, on foot, marching stage by
stage along side the gendarme's horse,
to his birthplace in the western prov
inces.
The United States commissioners, The
News correspondent adds, also visited a
factory at Gradno, capital OF the
province of that name, where hundreds
of Jews were working for wages amount
ing to less than fifty cents per week
The high standard of morality of these
Jews, in spite of the state of frightful
poverty i'll which they lived, is said to
have made deep impression upon the
American commissioners.
AT Russian police station the com.
missioners received lesson in bribery.

and then sent to Siberia TO work on the

A Political Scheme

The proposition to have the

mate three Il Il Commissioners
and also to nominate two L )
Senator's, is a scheme of the
crafty politician to defeat the
will of the people. The delega
tons ia each county will be Sc
lected with a view to the com
tvs cb oIee for l: Il Commission
ers and not U 5 Senators, and
the July convention cannot be
said 10 be representative body
in any other sense than that for
which it is called. Ifit is really
desired to test the sense of the
honest Democratic vote on the
Senatorship let it be understood
that every Democrat who goes
TO the polls next November
shall signify his choice by depos
ting his ballot in a separate box
TO he prepared for that purpose
This would virtually be an cleo
ton by the people, for the Leg
islature would not ignore the
wish of the majority thus ex
pressed, but a resolution palm
ed off by the convention ofJUIy
18th without giving the people
a chance to be heard, would be
a frsud that would only excite
their resentment aud contempt.
