The Spirit Of the Jewish Press.

While it is our sacred duty to honor and re-
spect the dead, the lavish expenditure of money
upon funerals and costly monuments is great
folly and should be done away with. It
would be far more advisable to spend some of
that money for the benefit of the living by
contributing toward the support of charitable
and educational institutions. BY doing this
the memory of our departed ones will be per-
petuated in far more noble manner, than by
erecting expensive monuments in the ceme-
teries.-7he Spectator.
Some of our good Christian neighbom are
beginning to find out that the Parliment of
Religions was q delusion and snare. What,
they ask, becomes of our pretence to be 1.-The
alone saving church, y if we place ourselves on
par with other religious faiths. Tolerance is
all very good, but it must not be carried too
far. And then comes all kinds of bitterness
against other creeds, and the re-assertion Of
Christianity's claim to all that is good on earth.
Beneath the surfice of federation you find the
vein of bigotry. Nevertheless the Parliment of
Religions at Chicago will remain one of the
greatest monuments of the age. An exhibit
ton never before witnessed of fraternity among
creeds, of mutual respect and kindness with
out in any manner jeopardizing the self-respect
or autonomy of any. This is the immediate
result-The Exponent.

God keeps scohool for His children here on
earth ; and one of his best teachers is named
Disappointment. He is a rough teacher, Be-
we're in tone and harsh in his handling some
times, but his tuition is worth all it costs.
Many of our best lessons through life have been
taught us by that stern old schoolmaster Disap-

AFlRE IN A NEW YORK TEMPLE.

There was Sabbath eve service last Friday
afternoon in Temple Emanuel, at No. 521 Fifth
avenue. Afterwards the trustees had meet
ing to take appropriate action on the death
Thursday of Mrs. Gottheil, wife Of the Rev.
Gustav Gottheil, the rabbi of the temple. Trus-
tee Meyer Stern, Sexton Pollak and Janitor
Rosenberg remained in the Sunday-school
room in the basement a few minutes after the
trustees meeting had dissolved.
Rosenberg smelled smoke at 6:45 P. M. On
making an investigation, he found that flames
were eating their way up through the floor of
of the Sabbath school room neara glass parti-
ton dividing off some class-rooms. Assisted
BY the trustee and the sexton, he lost much
valuable tir . by attempting himself to extin-
guish the blaze with buckets Of water.
He finally ran out and found Policeman
Breen, who sent an alarm from Forty second
street and Fifth avenue. A second alarm was
necessary, on account of the big fire at Forty
ninth street and Third avenue, in order to
summon q sufficient number of engines. The
firemen chopped big square hole in the fooor
where the flames had emerged, and quickly
subdued them. Heavy volumes of smoke puff
ed into the main audience-room above, but the
only damage done was in the Sabbath-school
room.
The fire, it is supposed, started either from an
overheated furnace flue or an electric-lighting
wir.. The loss was $500.

The Rabbi as Pastor.

Inc CHRISTIAN clergyman mas pastoral duties,
indeed. He is charged with the cure ofsouls.'
His pastoral visits are intended to quicken the
religious spirit of his sheep. He prays with
them he reads the Bible with them he dis
MUS Of Judaism is clearly out of harmony wi h
the fundamental premises upon which such
pastoral cure rests. One Jew is as holy rs an
other. One may be scholar an expert in
rabbinical literature the other may not be-.
But the former commands, in his capacity of
rabbi, no greater wealth Of" grace" than the
latter He may affect an unctuous tone of
voice he may practise "sweet" attitudes !;
but from the Jewish point of view, JUNCTION and
sweetness are not indications ofsuperior sancti-
ty.
As q matter of fact, these rabbinical "pas-
tom" find but little occasion to practise their
talents in this direction for religious " cul-
tute. They pander to the senseless tyranny Of
fashion. Our "Nabobs I" in many congrega-
tions look upon the minister as titled laekey
of theirs. They expec him with duehumility
to pay his respects to them at stated periods.
" Pastoral" work consists in making inquiries
aftes the health Of the madam how the baby
is progressing when vaccinated, or in the throes
ing in the drawing room " Of the " trustees"
Itgoes without saying that the minister de-
sires to be the friend Of all his congregants. AS
such, will he as far as his time allows, Guilt
vate their acquaintance as such, will he, like
any other friend share in their SORROWS and joys.
But friendship loses all its aroma when it is
one-sided and official. The rabbi is not pas
tor. His dutie s are those of the teacher He
must be student He cannot afford the time
to pose as an ornament to the rich man g parlor,
or as an adjunct to his presidents retinue of
body servants.
That there are congregations who like this
pastoral" business, who even make it the
prime condition of success " in the midst of
them, is alas too true +" VIE es SIGH christeh,
so jnedelt's sich !" That there are rabbis who
pride themselves on their pastoral JUNCTION
and zeal " is again true. But, thank the Lord,
there are congregations who have still retained
enough of the old Jewish spirit to know that
their " teacher has more serious duties than
to dance social attendance on his members
Welcome as the the the visits of the teacher !"
are, they understand that the social relations
between him and them ar conditioned on re-
ciprocity that the baby will thrive as we'll
without as with his pastoral" solicitude
They know in one word that the rabbi is not
an eccelesiastic mystery, not pastor, but a
teacher, nothi ng more, nothing less.-Dr Emil
g. Hirsch.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean, which has
secured interviews from all portions
of the country and has sifIed public
sentiment quite thoroughly, Says that
outside of those who are holding office
there are apparently few happy Dem
ocrats. The proposed tariff bill agrees
fairly we'll with their theories, but it
interferes sadly with their material
affairs. They have posed as the friend
of the workingman, but the working
man is not disposed to look with any
degree Of friendliness upon those who
support legislation which will close
factories and deprive them of the
means to earn an honest living. On
the whole, the lot of Democracy is not
a happy one.

ABOUT CLOSED.UP.

The Minneapolis Tribune of Thurs
day evening says:
L. P. Hunt, superi of the
Minnesota worlds fair exhibit, was at
the NicOllet yesterday. Mr.. Hunt
came On from Chicago to attend the
meeting of the commission at St.
Paul, He has wound up the affairs
of the exhibit with the energy and
expedition that characterized his work
in gathering the display, and it was
with pardonable pride that he an
nounced that Minnesota was the first
state to get off the grounds. The
furniture" he said, has all arrived
and will soon be distributed among
the various state Institutions. My
work at Chicago is completed, and l
Go not expect to be called back there
again. At the next meeting of the
board, which will probably be some
time next month, | expect to present
my final report"
Mr.. Hunt says the work Of tearing
down the fair buildings has begun,
and that the visitor to the grounds
now would hardly know where he is
at" ''The glory Of the white city,
he said, "has already departed, and it
makes one feel blue to look upon it.
| The South Park commissioners. how
ever, are determined that the build
| ings shall be removed, and all will
have to go except the main part of the
art building, which Was built to stand.
| 1t is folly to talk about letting the
other buildings stand. They were not
| built for permanency and would never
survive hard winter. We have sold
| the Minnesota sta tie building for $40
| ln this respect we were somewhat
more fortunate than our neighbOrS.
| Ohio paid $500 to have her building
| taken off her ban0s, and some of the
states g great deal more. The Maine
| building is of stone, and will 'ost the
commission from that state about 49,
600 TO remove. They tried to get rid
of it by donating it to the South Park
commissioners, but the latter would
not have the gift"
Mr.. Hunt is well satisfied with the
result Of the fair ''Our exhibit" he
said, "cost us about 1874, 900. and l
think we secured more results for the
money expended than any state in the
union. The material benefits to be
derived from the display cannot be
computed in dollars and cents. but it
has been of incalculable worth in fix
ing our standing both at home and
abroad as one or the leading states of
the union ecord -ether we received
$40 awards ~,ul educational exhibit,
one of the judges told me, was con-
ceded to rank next to that of Massa-
chusetts, but as there was no provi-
sionI1nr awards we did not get one.
We nao $50 entries in the ae ricultural
exhibit, and received 225 awards. Wis
consln re eived the highest number
of awards, but when the facts are
considered we made even a better
showing than they did. We had 35(
entries and got 225 awards; they re
ceived 300 awards out of 100 entries
Then their exhibit cost $4,000, AND
our only $1,000. In live stock we
simply beat the world"

WHILE the silver purchase clause
repeal bill was before congress, Presi-
dent Cleveland used the power of pat
ronage at his disposal to secure votes
for it. 1t is rumored that the same
tactics will be followed to keep the
party together on the tariff question.
Probably no man has ever debauched
the great Office of the presidency in
this respect, TO the extent that has
this great ideal of the reformers. The
great patronage at his command is
simply used as bride to carry out his
peculiar desires.

THE business men of Birmingham
Ala, have invited Gov. Mckinley to
visit that city and address them upon
the tariff. This is another show OF
independence upon the part of the
south which has been exhibited lately
and may continue, especially if the
free traders persist in their war upon
American industries. There is proba-
bly, nc city in theUnited States which
owes more to the protection policy
than does Birmingham. Twenty five
years ago it's site was cotton field
worth about SIS per acre; now it is a
flourishing city with nearly $3O,0O0,-
600 invested in mills and other indus
tries. The iron industry has been
one of it's chief sources of wealth,
and the proposal to place iron ore up
on the free list strikes severe blow
to this prosperous southern city.

THE Midway Neaos thinks that be-

THE Midway Neacs thinks that be-
cause there is not so much said about
electing United States senators by the
direct vote of the people, the matter
has blown over and will amount to
nothing. But that is matter of no
sig nificance. Because the people are
not talking about the question all the
time is no sign they are not thinking
seriously about it, and through the
ensuing year there is little doubt but
that they will be given numberless
occasions to think still more seriously
along the same line. The NeGUs furth-
er thinks it would be difficult mat
ter to effect such change. Doubt
less! Reforms of such nature al
ways come slowly. Public sentiment
must be built up to a point where it
will exert a powerful influence upon
those in position to carry out the
will of the people. There can be no
question, however, but that in many
instances the representation in the
senate would be improved, To go be-
fore a legislature and before the peo-
pie are two different matters, and in
many cases man who has no partic.
ular tittirg for such position, and
nothing to recommend him except
possibly his wealth, will appear before
a legislature and through the intrigue
of politicians secure the prize, who
would stand little or no show before
the people. No one will claim that
the election of senators ly the people
will bring about the mi le ium so far
as that body is concerned, but that it
will tend to improve 1t is the growing
belief among the people without re-
gard to party. The movement is not,
as the NeecS affects to believe, the cry
of the demagogue and political noun
tebank, but is one endowed with the
true spirit of reform.

While Mankato undoubtedly feels
the effects of the stringency which
has existed for the past three or four
months in financial circles, they
have probably been felt as lightly
here as in any city in the country. The
fact is the larger the city the more
severe has the depression been felt,
and the greater is the strain becom'
ing as the cold weather advances.
Large cities like St. Paul, Mlnneapo-
lis, Omaha and Chicago are being
confronted this winter with the prob
lem of caring for their unfortunate
class upon a scale meyer before pre-
serted them. Mankato is among the
ortunate cities Of the country.
