The Jew, says Rabbi4seph Silverman Of

refrain from saying thathe Jews crueiied

I teacher Rabbi SilYermA says further: 1t
/ IS an error 70 speak of thtJews as particu

/ original race that scaIc 3lya trace of it exists

Judging from the trial trips Of some of the
latest naval vessels, the government acted
! wisely in deciding to build the cruisers Gin
cinnati and Raleigh in the Brooklyn and Nor
folk navy yards respectively The last four
or five cruisers tried have gained premiums
varying from &c 10 per cent. Of their contract
! price, for increased speed If these two
/ cruisers perform as creditaDly on their trial
| trips as their predecessors and there is no
! reason why they should not, they will prob
ably develop speed OF twenty-one knots. As
| their specified spetdiRas twenty knots, this
would be an increaseIof one knot, which, at a
! premium OF S25, 900 Tor each quarter of a knot
in excess Of the requirements. would result in
saving Of 100000 On each vessel. AS it is
claimed that the navy yard work costs con
/ siderably more thaIthe same work done by
/ outside shlpyards, this alone would more than
Offset the extra wages paid to the workmen
employed In the construction OF these two
cruisers.
Talk Of Representative Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, as gubernaorial candidate on an in
dependent democratic or peoples party
ticket in the Keystone state next year is as
suming the proportions of boom among
those who coincide With Mr. Sibley's views on
the silver question, says the Washington
Post The millionaire farmer and former
greenback disciple has always been plctur-
esque and more or less independent figure in
the politics of his state. Before his speech
for free silver his name had not been thought
! of in that connection. Since that deliverance
! Congressman Sibley has been showered with
letters and resolutions from the sovereign
voters OF his state asking him to make the
run. They come principally from the organi-
! cations OF farmers and laboring men, the
| Changers, Knights OF Labor, Federation Of
! Labor, and others. The members of these
societies seem to pin their financial faith
! largely to free coinage, as witness the num-
! her of petitions from them presented to the
| Senate by Mr.. Cameron.
| Senator Dolph says the Washington Post
seems 10 have a remarkable memory for
names or a very wide acquaintance among his
constituents. Occss onally when the debate
is going slow In the Senate. he will produce
from some OF the roceSses Of his six huge
stock of brown envelopes, OF the brand
used for shipping public documents through
the country. He places the pile of envelopes
before him, squares himself with pen. and
proceeds to grind out the addresses with the
regularity Of a machine whit h throws out
cake OF soap. AS the debate goes on the pile
| on the Senators desk grows thinner, while
the floor is covered with paper, like wheat
about threshing machine, During the days
! when Mr.. PETER or Mr.. Stewart holds the
floor the Senator from Oregon makes hay
| briskly. so that his desk becomes nearly hid
| den in the debris Then again while Mr..
| Wolcott and Mr.. German are having a little
| spat, the grist is small and the people Of
! Oregon have to wait for their invoices of
| wisdom until the clouds blow over.
The ponderous solemnity Of the Senate was
startled into genuine laugh Tuesday, such
an expression Of pure and unadulterate1
boisterousness as has not rippled its atmos-
| phere for long time. A unique oratorical
| illustration by Senator Palmer was the cause
| OF 1t all. The Illinois statesman was discuss
| ing the attitude OF the free silver men who
! have threatened to filibuster. And has it
! come to thtS?' he exclaimed. suting the &C
| ton to the words, and he struck a pugilistic
attitude, threw back his arms and drew his
coat half way down from his shoulders The
movement was an exact imitation, as it was
intended to be- of a man squaring himself to
fight For an instant the senators were
startled as they noted the bellicose demon
Stration, with the unusual display of Gen.
Palmers snowy shirt sleeves, then they
laughed long and loud. AS an illustration of
the threat to make the debate a physical
trial the Senator's vancouver was a novel and
effective one. For a brief space he held the
attitude of AJAX defying the lightning before
he resumed his coat and the thread Of his ar
gumcnt.
The Russian and Polish Jews in New York
as in other American cities, generally resort
to their rabbits when involved in trouble In
: referring to this subject, Rabbi Epstein of St
Louis says: There is in all the large cities
of the country very close approach to extra
territorial jurisdiction among certain classes
of foreigners, although 1t is ecclesiastical in
all its surroundings, and patrarchal in its
character. The influence welded in St
| o us among the colony of Polanders and
Russians by priests and rabbiS as the case
may be, is almost absolute in the regulation
OF internal and domestic discussions. The
rab bi of foreign-speaking orthodox congre-
cation rules his flock with an iron or a gentle
hand as his diplomatic sense or policy NAV
suggest. He assumes the course that is most
likely to peTpetuate his power in all temporal
matters, but in affairs spiritual he is as stern
and uncOmpromising as Abraham His au-
thOrity in the matter OF dissolution of the
marital tie is absolute and unQuestioned and
any action of the civil courts Of the land cut
no figure whatever should they conflict with
the law as defined by the rabbi"
