Mr.. Roth.ch,ld'. Proposal to Buy Silver.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Is there
any value in this proposal OF Mr.. Alfred
Rothschilds that European Governments
shall buy some twenty-five million ounces OF
silver yearly ut 81 pence an ounce? Yes. it
has value clearly. and a great value.
Senator Jones and your deputation must
be laughing in their sleeves The pro-
posal entirely destroys from henceforth the
natural level argument the argum ont that.
let we'll alone and silver will find its natural
level! Here is apparently an admission COM
ing from England. and from the Jewish quar-
ter. both that currency reform is required and
that the State must bolster up the price Of
silvcr-gve silver an artificial value" by COM
pusory purchases! And If twenty-flv million
ounces then why not fifty millions why not the
the proposal seems silly enough in itself: for
why should tho United States pledge itself to

distinguished Jewish citizen sends us
word that the Importance Of the Central Con-
ference Of American Rabbis was overrated in
the letter from Washington which we printed
yesterday. He says that this Conference.
which is to meet in Washington next week. VIII
represent mere squad OF ignorant rabbis
| under the leadership OF the apostate WISE:
that WISE is an enemy Of orthodox Judaism
and disturber OF Israel. who favors the inter-
marriage OF Jews and Gentiles. while seeking
to undermine the ancient fath:' and that the
Central Conference can have no influence
upon tho American rabbinate at large.
Tho questions involved in this case are very
subtle and complicated: they must be deter
mined by those who are familiar with the au-
thoritative books Of Judaism. and with jewish
tradition. rites. obsorvances. and customs. or.
in other words by the rabbis. of whom there
are now nearly a thousand in this country.
We may remark. however. that the dispute
between tho Reform party in Judaism repre-
sented by Rabbi WISE and the orthodox body
OF which Chief Rabbi JOSEPH is n representa-
tive. has become matter OF public notoriety
and is Of interest to many people outside Of
the pale OF Judaism. The Chief RABBI speaks
in the name Of the eighteen synaCogues I'M
der his charge. and his deliverances are re-
spected by all orthodox rabbls: while Rabbi
ISAAC L. WISE. on the other hand. speaks
in the name of the Hebrew Union
College, the Union OF American Hebrew Con-
gregations. the Central Conference OF Ameri-
can Rabbits. and as tho editor OF the american
ITaelHe. Both OF these men are now recoC-
nized as leaders Of rival parties and powers in
Judaism: they have set M hostile camps in
preparation for war: and each OF them calls
upon his followers to stand firm in the battle
with tho adversary. Such a conflict in the
ranks Of Judaism is a new thing in this coun-
try: and there need be no wonder that it at
tracts the attention even of people who do not
comprehend the nature OF the dispute or the
importance OF the questions out OF which it
has grown.
We cannot foretell what course will be taken
by the body OF reform rabbis who nre to hold
an extra session OF the Central Conference in
Washington next week.

may have a costly building in which to pursue their studies. And then there is dollars-and-cents view to take of the question. It is this: There are many parents in town who would regard it as calamitous, and very justly so. if their children were denied the privilege of the schools for even a few months. Feeling thus, they would ex- ert every possible effort to send the children to a private school. Thls would enforce upon them the payment of a double expense, in that they would be compelled to pay tuition in this pri- vate school and at the same time pay the taxes imposed for public school purposes. Many parents could not possibly afford to do this, while others would only do so at q great sacrifice in other directions. What is my plan? We'll, I'll tell you; 1t is simple way and, under the circumstances, the only way.
 "Let the school fund go as far as it will toward building house to cost, say, S10. 900 q believe that is the sum TIE TIMES announced had been sug- gested, though 1 think $5000 added to 1t would be hetter), and then let the peO- pie pledge the remainder. Make it d sort of joint stock concern, the funds to be held in trust for the benefit of the children. Make the minimum stock subscription twenty-five dollars, to be paid in instalments if necessary. Every man in the school district would be- come a subscriber. Pehaps some men would only take one share, but that would be something, and the subscri- Der would not have even to pay all of that at one time. Hundreds of people who are anxious to assist in this mat ter, but who would be deterred if re- quired to pay twenty-five or fifty dol lars down, because of the stringency of money matters. would gladly take stock and pay for it during the course of q year or two. On such basis as this I think the schoolboard could work; and at the same time the chil- dren would be receiving the instruc- tion they need. Don't you think this plan feasibleyn
 THE TIMES man thought it was. The tenor of tue conversations of the other gentlemen was about the same. The sentiment against closing the schools at the expiration of the present terms seems almost unanimous. We hope the plan suggested above will be tried before the board takes decisive action in the matter. It is worth trial, anyway. TIE TIMES people are by no meaus 0verburdened with wealth, but they have confidence enough in this plan tp start the ball a-rolling by pledging S2o0, and they believe the en- tire $l0,OO0 or more can be raised in- side the incorporate limits of the town within two hours time.
