Mr.. William Henry Smith, member of
Parliament, says in regard to the reported
Wholesale immigration of Russian Hebrews
to England that theme was such an abuse of
the privileges of aliens as announced in the

ships for the exclusive purpose of carrying
Jews to London. This society was also said
to be arranging for the emigration Of 10000
persons, chiefly Polish Lithuanian Jews, to
England. The Viedem0sti commented glee-

CHINESE JUSTICE.

A Mandarin Who Destroyed n Railroad
Compelled to Rebuild 1t.
In many respects the Chinese are a most
rational and practical race. Here is a
case in point:-During a recent anti
foreign devil riot at some place between
Tong-tu and Kaiping. the mob. by way Of
emphasizing its patriotic sentiments. de-
stroyed n good length of the T flway that
district. the local Mandarin, instead OF
using the forces under him to quell the
riot. sent his soldiers to assist in the pious
work The embankments were levele |
for some distance. and the rails thrown
into h river, and an attempt was made
to destroy the bridges.
Mr.. Kinder, the head engineer of the
line, laid the state of the case before the
Toatoi of Tientsin, who is the head direc-
tor OF the undertaking. The Toatoi sent
for the Mandarin, and addressed him
thus:-
ITO please yourself and friends you
have destroyed the railway track. To
please me you will put it back just as 1t
was before. II. n month from today.
the trains are not running the same as
before, you lose your head, and your
family and ancestors are disgraced. Mr..
Kinder estimates the damage n loss by
non-running of trains at 50,c00 teals (about

out of your own funds to the company.

ceiving 40 money for their labor, and all
salaries are stopped until the repairs are
complete. Ishall appoint q board of pun
ishment to return with you, with power
to torture and imprison anyone who
make the least disturbance or trouble"
The Mandarin begged for mercy, on the
plea that, as the country vas all under
water, he could not possibly get mud and
stones wherewith to build the embank-
ments. The Toatoi saw the force of this
plea, and said he would give him a
chance. He could pull down any of his
forts he liked in order to provide material
for the repair of the railway, and he
would give him three months after the
railway was completed to rebuild his
forts at mis- (the Mandarin's) own ex-
pense. In rather under three week the
trains were running again, and they are
now rebuilding the forts. How long
would it have taken to bring about
the same results in Englandf-LondoH

Release These Girls

1t is hard to imagine a grosser out
rage than that to which the young
girls Susan Schneider and Mary Riley
are continuously subjected in the
midst Of this civilized nineteenth CEN
fury community.
They have been imprisoned in the
county jail for nearly three
months, and they are likely to stay
there indefinitely.
They have done nothing wrong.
The Schneider girl happens to
know something about a crime of
which her father is accused. The
Riley girl was the victim of a riotous
outrage at the han1s of a gang OF
roughs.
THE CRIMINALS IN BOTH CASES
ARE AT LIBERTY. In the Schneider
case, the father is beyond the reach OF
the sheriff.
But the girls remain in Jail.
Who are their associates2
Female drunkards,
Prostitutes,
Piekpockets.
Until lately there was a young
woman in the Jail accused of arson.
We are told that these girls are bet
ter fed and housed than when at lib
erty.
What a hideous piece of cynicism is
such a remark
Here are these girls deprived of their
liberty, which is their highest right,
for long months. Here they are,
herded with the vilest of the earth, SO
that If their souls were as the driven
snow when they went in, they must
be soiled and tainted by this time,
and we are told that they are well fed
and that the corridors of the Jail are
warm.
Words fail in the presence of such
an outrageous condition of things.
