SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Is. The
operations of the rival clipper line of
ships doing business between here

Three vessels, the Tam O'Shanter,
M.P.Grace aud Florence, ARE in port,
ready for additional cargoes. Under
the rivalry OF two principal compet-

New York, Aug. 13.--Since the
publication of the threatened schism
in the Jewish church In consequence
OF the resolution of the recent CEN
tial rabbinical conference In this
city Ia favor OF making the Abra-
hamic rite optional with gentilcs
wishing to adopt the faith. a fierce
war has been waged from the pull
pits in the synagogues and IN the
Hebrew newspapers. Between the
two factions stand the conservative
rcformers, who council peace, aud
say that, although split has exist
ed In the Jewish church for many
years, complete division should be-
prevented. and that, therefore, no
official action should be taken IN
the matter. The disputed resolu-
tion was adopted at the conference
AZ the instigation Of the Rev. Mr..
Wise. Of Cincinnati, one Of the ab-
lest theologians in the church. He

younger American rabbis have been

admirers. They, under his guild

COLUMBUS DAY.

The President, complying with an
act of congress has issued a proclama
ton ma king Friday, Oct. 2l,a gener-
al holiday. 1t is also stated in the
act of congress and proclamation
that the purpose is to make the day
an educational event and he recon-
mend to the people the observance in
all their localities of the 400th an
niversary of the discovery of Ameri-
ca, on October 2l, 1892, by public de-
monstration and by suitable exer-
clses in their schools and other
places of assembly; as THE JOURNAL
has been appointed by the national
educational association to bring this
matter before the people of this state
it takes great pleasure in urging such
observance of the day at Salem and
elsewhere.
Tue Salem schools especially should
lead in this movement and impr ess
upon the thousands of youth the les
sons connected with that memorabl
date Oct. q, 1892, the 400th anniver-
sary of the discovery Of America by
Columbus. We must quote one pas
sage in the Presidents message:
Columbus stood in his age as the
pioneer of progress and enlighten-
ment. The system of universal edu-
cation is in our age the most pro-
minent and salutary feature of the
spirit of enlightenment, and it is pc
culiarly appropriate that the schools
be made by the people the center of
the days demonstration. Let the
national flag float over every school
house in the country and the exer-
cises be such as shall impress upon
our youth the patriotic duties of
American citizenship.
The Salem schools and Salem peo.
pie should be prepared to make
great day Of Oct. 81.

WAR.

The people easily forget the hor-
rors of war. On all hands we see
military preparations in this fair
land of peace and about the last
country any nation would go to war
with. In New York and Brooklyn
three armories have just been built
costing nearly a million dollars.
Cruiser after cruiser is launched and
it is proposed to expend $l00,000,-
900 for coast defences. In every
state a National guard is being rails
ed and equipped at expense of the
state. We do not oppose any of
these movements as such, but we
are opposed to the principle of war.
Ii is the lowest lust of nations ac-
cept in times Of great danger.
