immigration is free from the objection,
SO commonly urged. against immigration
in general, that 1t increases crime and
pauperism. A strong point in favor of
the Russian Jewish immigrants is the fact
that they come here with the intention of
becoming permanent citizens of the
United States. Although the Jewish i'm
migrants were for short time disturb
ing factor in the trades in which they COM
peted with native workingmen and
women, they have by their organization
placed those very trades on a higher
economic plane than they had previously
occupied, while the shortening of work
hours brought about by the same means
has created a greatly increased demand
for labor in these industries.
The Financial Chronicle in a review of
the iron production of the leading eoun-
tries of tho world from 1880 to 1899 shows
among other things what tremendous
stride the United States has made in COM
parison with the rest of the world. In
1880 Great Britain produced 40 per cent,
the United Ststes "a per csnt., Germany
1s Per cent. and Franco 16 per cent, while
in 1899 the United States stood first with
40 per cent, Great Britain producing 20
per cent, Germany 81 per cent. and
France 10 per cent. In this period the
total iron product of the four countries
increased from 1e,oss, ,755 to ss,5s9, ,sss
tons, while the product of the United
States increased from 1886, 1s1 to 9,557,-
900 tons. 1t thus appears that the United
States and Great Britain have changed
places, the latter's product having fallen
off more than 100000 tons. The
Chronicle shows also that the domestic
use of iron and steel in the United States
in 1892 was moro than double that in
Great Britain and the American exports
are very small as compared with the Brit
ish exports:

We did not know when We called atten-
tion yesterday morning to the case of Job
and mildly rebuked those who do not i,ai-
tate his patience with dust that our course
would so soon be vindicated. As If to
establish our counsel, most unusual and
untimsly snowstorm ragged yesterday, and
there is no flying dust In New Haven to-
day. There will also be none for two or
three days.
This episode shows that 1t is not we'll to
despair. All things come round to him
who will but wait. Here we are,
free from dust, at no expense to
the taxpayers. Yesterdays storm will
relieve the taxpayers and encourage those
who spend the taxpayers money. If
violent snow storm can happen in April
and lay the dust, taxpayers need not lose
all patience and tsx-spenders need not feel
really obliged to use money for watering
the streets. Have courage, taxpayers.
There may be another snow-storm in July.
Don't fret yourselves, tax-spenders. The
streets don't need watering to-day.

CHRISTIAN RUMsELLING.

Gan q man be Christian and sell rum?
Can man, q member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who is proprietor and
owner of drug store, and who holds a
license covering the sale of preparations
of alcohol for medical purposes, upon the
prescription of regular physician, also
hold and do business under a straight
storekeeper's license, for the promiscuous
sale of Intoxicating liquors, and retain his
membership in good and regular standing
in said churchs
Some Methodists of jamestown, New
York, asked Bishop Newman the latter
q uestion. He didn't have time to answer
1t, and passed 1t along to Bishop Vincent.
Bishop Vincent coursgeously tackled 1t
and said yes. He points out that under
the laws of New York "druggist's
license" does not carry with it the right
to sell alcohol and alcoholic liquors
for mechanical, artistic, or scientific
purposes, nor for sacramental pur-
poses, nor for medical purposes except
upon ply sicisn's written prescription, to
be once used and no more-a condition
involving Inconvenience and extra expense,
and sometimes imperilling health and life.
The "storekeepeI's license" enables It's
holder to sell liquor for these legitimate
uses, as 1t ia "proper and often necessary
he should do. The fact that it also makes
1t possible to sell liquors to customers
who want them for topping purposes
doesn't inculpate the right-prinoipled hold
er, whose only object is "to serve custom
ers in the line of his regular business as a
druggist" Moreover, as the church au-
thorizss, under conditions, the saoramen-
tai use of wine and the medicinal use of
that aud other liquors, the bishop finds 1t
unreasonable that Christian man, merely
because he is Christian man and church
member, should be debarred from selling
them for such uses, in the ordinary course
of a lawful business; while to presume thet
this Christian man Is going to do wrong,
| merely because the laws of the state give
him the opportunity to do wrong, and tc
pronounce him guilty in advance of actual
wrongdoing, strikes the bishop as 'con
trary to the first principles of equity and
charity"
In short, Christian should sell rum q
a Christian ought to.

A London Poverty Junction-An Odd
Gathering of Odd Folk In An odd
Corner OF London-Husic Hall Fer
formers, Their Origin, Haunts and
Ways-Their Weekly Symposium-
Typical London Scenes.
LONDON, March 81.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In order TO appreciate one OF the oldest
gatherings of the oldest folk in one of the
oldest corners of London, one must FIRST
know something about those whose strange
lives and unique vooations which make the
London "Poverty Junction" what 1t is.
They are the ''pros" or ''prossers," or
music-hall performers of the worlds me-
tropolir. There are from three to i've
thousand of them, great and unknown,
men and women, and there are no other
folk Just like them within the whole world.
They provide the Amusement" for the
SCORE or more of great music-halls, into
each of which nightly crowd from two to
FIVE Thousand people, and for the hundreds
upon hundreds Of lesser affairs, ranging
from the old-time free and-easy, from
which the modern music-hall has sprung,
to the "penny-gsfs," whore audiences Of
from one to five hundred persons may be
found.
Beside these, would almost venture
tho assertion, there are thousands of
"pubs" or public houses, drinking places
with assembly rooms behind the bar,
where free "smoking concerts" attract .
permanent nightly audience of from .
score to hundred werkingmen and the
foul rabble that subsist upon their gone
rosity and weakness.
Indeed any one who knows this great
| city ct all in that wandering, vagrant, OBJ
servant way which leads thought into
grave conclusions, would have no hesitan-
oy In saying that quarter of million
human beings may bs found any weekday
| night In these places "cheery" or more 30
from liquor, and from these sources form
ing their odd ideas of international con-
trasts; gathering from vile-mouthed per-
formers auips the news and scandals of
the day; increasing their contempt of or
der and law from their endless satire and
ridicule; gaining In general and particular
deeper hatred of English society above
them; and hearing, often with their wives
! and daughters bsside them, the most "a
| cred relations of men and women never
spoken or sung of save as perennial play
ground for cunning and infidelity; until

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.


There has been good deal of talk about
the one -sidedness of the law, as exhibited
In the decisions of the Ann Arbor strike
cases. But the decision of Judge White
in the county court at Pittsburg in the
case of the striking bricklsyers against the
Master Builders exchange indicates that
the law is not 80 one-sided as it has been
carelessly said to be. It appears that
the master builders com bine, by threaten
enipg to withdraw their custom, had
effected league with dealers in supplies
by which the latter had refused to sell
building material to the strikers who
had taken outside jobs in opposition to
the trust. The master builders had also
blacklisted the strikers, and they were re-
fused work wherever they made applics-
ton. One of the strikers named Thomas
Buchanan prosecuted the president and
other officers of the Master Builders ex-
change and they were convicted of con-
spiraoy for intimidation in causing the
supply dealers to refuse to cell supplies to
the strikers. He also secured second
verdict in similar case.
Judge White, of the county court, in Civ
ing his instructions to the jury in the lat
ter case, followed the argument of Judges
Taft and Rieks in the Ann Arbor cases,
applying the same rules to combines of
capitalists and employers. He agreed
with those judges in saying that employees
had no right to strike on a Job which
they had commenced with an implied con-
tract that they should complete it. On
the other hand, eff contractors formed
combination to prevent supply dealers
from furnishing materials to persons not
in the combination it was malicious and
unlawful" The verdict was against the
bosses, under the instructions of the
court.
This decision helps to clear up the
situation. No fault can be found with
the law If 1t does equal justice to all.

CHOKED HERSELF TO- DEATH
An Inmate of Agnews Suspended by
Towel.

SAN JOSE, July 5-An inmate of the
Agnews Asylum committed suicide yester-
day afternoon about O'clock in a very
ingenious manner.
Mrs. Rose Cane, who was committed last
March from Oakland. went into the toilet
in her ward unobserved. and throwing the
towel over the low partition which sepa-
rates the washroom from the watercloset,
stood on the seat, placed her head in the
loop of the towel, stepped off and hung
suspended. She was found dead by ano-
Their pa tient.
The deed was committed in remarkably
short time. as she was seen by the attend
ant about fifteen minutes before she was
found dead.
The facts were developed that she was
a native of New York. 45 years of age, and
the mother of three children. the youngest
of whom is years of age. Her home is
in Oakland, where her husband is lying
low with consumption.
Her form of mania was very violent.
She imagined that every one is against her.
and during one of her mad spells struck
her brother-in-law on the head with an
iron without sufficient cause. and she once
bit her sister. She used profane language
during her period of insanity, and imagined
that her husband was stopping up the
chimney with sacks.

LEVELED BY HAIL.
Crops Ruined by Storm in Eastern
Pennsylvania,

READING. Pa. July 5-This city was
visited by rain and hall storm this after
noon, which, for desiructiveness, eclpsed
all previous storms of the Kind since 1866.
The streets Of the city were covered with
hail and water. and the sewers became
choked. Grain, corn, oats. flower-gardens.
grapes and other fruits were stripped off
like leaves. The vineyards on Mount Penn
were completely ruined. South of Read
ing, the wheat, rye and oat crops we're
leveled to the ground and many fields
flooded. AT Birdsboro the downpour was
terrible. and pedestrians had to seek
shelter from the force of the hail. Horses
became unmanageable, and traffic was
stopped. 1t is believed the damage in
the Schuvlkill Valley will reach many
thousands Of dollars.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5-Just after the
last race was finished at Belmont Park
track this evening. furious hail and wind
storm broke over the park and in few
minutes about $4,000 damage had been
done. The grand stand was uuroofed, six
teen sheds were blown down and suIkies
and carriages demolished. The storm did
considerable other damage aboht the city.
