To THE EDITOR OF THE suS-Sir: As q reader of
views. l take the liberty OF writing in regard to its
treatment of the candidacy Of Mr.. Seth Low for Mayor
OF the Greater New York.
THE Sun states this morning that tho only support
ers OF Mr.. Lows candidacy In the metropolitan press
are the World and the Journal and the Mugwump
sheets presumably the Times and the Post). and that
the support OF the two nrst named papers IL a dis
grace to any man, while the last named are inspired
solely by their hatred to the Republican Organization.
Is not THE Sun in this matter very unjus:
to Mr.. Low and his supporters? While con.
ceding all that 1t claims as to the charac-
ter Of the World and this Journal. Is not Mr..
Lows character sufficiently established to make
the gratuitons support OF these papers In no way dis.
creditahle to himp Are not their readers educated,
Just TO that extent. in a purer political atmosphere?
Is not there some gain made in q quarter most needed
for political decency?
As to tn. soralled Mugwump papPrs. what ripnt
has THE Sun to charge that their motives are sol " in.
spircd by hatred for the Republican organization? Did
not these same papers support Mr.. Mckinley last fall.
and strenuously oppose NJ. Bryan? Caunot THE SrS
credit a Mugwump with a .inIi honest motive?
Finally. as TO Mr.. Lows candidacy itself. THE Sun
states that the municipal Camr align this fall Is to be

Has Judaism d Futures

What is to be the future of Judaism Is
an interesting question which. however, Is
rather mooted than answered in the August
number of the North american Revie1D by
Mr.. ABRAM s. IsAAos. formerly professor
Of Hebrew In the University of New York,
and now widely known as the editor of the
Jetctsh Messenger. 1t Is principally the
superficial and mistaken views Of the pres.
N and past Of Judaism held among Chris
tians which is discussed in his article, but
eventually he indicates the two theories of
their destiny which are most in vogue
among his ~co-religionists.
1t is true enough, as Prof. IsAACs says,
that the great majority, even of highly
educated Christians, talk and writo as If
the history Of Judaism had closed with the
destruction of Jerusalem by TITUS. To
them the Jew is still the Jew Of the Gospel
record, If he Is not the Jew Of the Old
Testament. He is still a Palestinian, wear
Ing broad phylacteries and uttering ghast-
ly imprecations on his enemies In a Ian
guage Ineligible only by the sacred few.
Judaism Ii not studied as a living organ
ism, but Is relegated to the lumber room
OF antiquity, amid the fossils and relics of
primitive religions; 1t is dissected and ana
lyzed for the benefit of students Of compare
tive philology and made to furnish curious
data In the fields of e%thnography and an
thropology. To 1t a remote past is conced-
ID, but Its recent past and present receive
but scant attention from non.Jews. To the
astonishing Ignorance of the post FIavian
history of the lsraelitcs Ia ascribed the
prejudice and misconception which exag-
gerate and distort tho truth, either in one
direction or another, making the Jew
either a Daniel Deronia or a Fagin,
either n ShylOck or a Nathan the Wise.
What the Jew desires, says Prof. IsAAcs,
is neither utilization nor justification,
but justice. He would like the critics
Of his co.religionists to stop eying
them through a telescope as If they were
occupants of another sphere. and also to re.
nounce the use of the microscope which is
applied tn Jews on the assumption that
their defects are deep seated, multitude
nous, and intricate. If educated Christians
would make up their minds to Judge the
SSw as he is, and to study Judaism in its
actual operation, they would find that both
are very nue. alive. Prof. IsAACs submits
that the time is past FOR labelling Juda-
Ism as prehistoric. and for bracketing the
Jews with tho Phmnicians, the Hittitcs,
r other representatives Of extinct ciyiliza-
tionS. To call him an arrested develop
nient, a survival, al anachronisn,, does not
warrant us in overlooking the eighteen
centuries that have elapsed since the fall of
the second temple and the establishment
o. a Roman colony on the site where Jcru-
salem had stood. The jew no doubt is a
survival in the seuse that he has survived,
aud this he has done because, although nu-
merical!y weak, he has been spiritually
strong. In spite of his limitations he has
resisted his environment; he has with.
stood opposing forces. and he withstands

A Curious and Malicious Movement,

We publish elsewhere q letter from a sup.
porter of Mr.. SETH Low at East Orange, in
New Jersey, who accuses THE Sun Of draw.
ing an unjustifable inference from the
eaRerness of the yellow journals to get Mr..
Low nominated in short order as an indie
pendent candidate. He comedies the vile
ness of those papers. but he contends that
even a disposition to assume an appearance
of decency should be encouraged among the
d~epraved more especially.
There is not even hypocrisy in their Joint
efforts to initiate the Low boom. Neither of
them has any notion of supporting Mr.. Low
for election. They are only supporting the
childish and mischievous scheme TO get
him nominated as an independent candidate
whose running will help along their rivalry
in attempting to foment social and political
discord. They are working to humiliate
MIR. Low by using him to prevent the unity
of the opposition to Tammany Hall. Any
man with half an eye can see that.
What right" asks our East Orange
friend "has THE SUN to charge that their
1.-THE Mugwump papers] motives are only
inspired by hatred for the Republican
organizationT We have made no charge,
but simply announced a fact. Neither Of
those W papers makes any concealment of
that hatred. They are frank enough to ex.
press it openly and constantly, and to pro.
claim loudly that their motives are inspired
by the bitterest hostility to the Republican
organization. If Mr.. Low himself had boon
brought out as a candidate by Mr.. PLATT
and Mr.. QCIGG, they would have denounced
him. Cannot TIKI Sun credit a Mugwump
with a single honest motiveE Oh, yes, we
can and do credit these Mugwumps with
the honestly acknowledged motive of a
consuming desire to humiliate and beat the
Republican party in the Greater New York
election. That Is obvious to everybody
who reads them.
1t Is true that these MuGwump papers
supported Mr.. MCKINLEY last autumn.
They could not do anything else. 1t was
no merit in them that for self-preservation
they supported the only candidate for Prcsi.
dent who stood between them and inevita.
BILE ruin. a man cannot expect praise for
disintercsted heroism simply because he
pours water on a fire which threatens to con-
sumo his own house. This talk about the
gratitude due tothe Mugwump supporters Of
MIR. MCKINLEY III shccrnonscnse. The graft.
tude should rather be extended 10y them 10

age to make an honest platform at q time
when apparently powerful influences with.
in It's own ranks were cXerted so strenu-
ously 20 induce it to make q platform of
cowardly evasion. THE Sun does nor for.
get the service it rendered last year to the
American people of all parties, n service
which should be rewarded by the votes of all
conservative and patriotic men for the Re.
Publican party, until the betrayed and per.
verted Democratic party purges itself thor
oughly of its crime Of advocating repudla-
ton and social chaos, by fatty and boldly
repudiating the Chicago platform.

Baseball Endangered.

We warn those financially interested in
baseball that the public's disgust at the
rowdyism which the players have practiced
with their permission is finding such wide
spread expression as to betoken u serious
decline in the national games popular
ity. Yet this %rowdyism can be stopped
instantly by a word forbiddi ls players
to question an umpire'n decision. For ex-
ample, on Friday WARNER, the New York
catcher, began a heated argument with the
umpire that a "strike" called upon him
was, instead. a "ball." OF course the UNI
pire had no power to reverse his decision.
and he imposed a fine upon WARNER.
What common sense was there in a player
thu stopping the game to enable him to
express his feelings' How necessary is it
that this habit should be abolished from
every professional background 1t is the
root Of all the disorder that threatens the
games prosperity and standing. No talk
ing to the umpire!

The Advance Up the Nile.

While the capture of Abu Hamed by the
Anglo.Egyptia forces has marked another
important step In the march to Khartoum,
stages are the easiest.
From the fourth cataract, which Is below
Abu Hamed. about half way between that
point and Debbeh, up to Berber, now the
next great point ahead, the navigation Is
difficult. Beyond Berber it becomes easier
again. As to distance, there still remains
to be traversed about 325 miles from Abu
Hamed to the objective point of the cam.
paign, Khartoum. And even the occupa-
ton of khnrtoum, though a browning tri-
umph for this series of operations, might
not break down the enemy, for they could
Withdraw to Ell Obeid and other points.
Distance also is not the only element in
the problem. The advance of the Anglo.
Egyptian forces carries them further from
their base, and makes it possible for the
enemy to harass their communications
with greater success. Thus far, indeed, the
resistance offered to their advance has been
slight. Dongola was occupied with tho
greatest ease, and while the pttack OH Abu
Hamed was only effected by some hard
lighting, In which Major SIDNEY and Lieut.
FITz CLARENCE were among the killed, yet
nothing like the battles of 1854 has yet
been seen.
1t was far beyond Abu Hamed that the
severe engagements of Abu Klea and Gubat
were fought, when Gen. STEWART made
his gallant advance across the Bablnda
Desert to Metemneh which cost him his
life. In the earlier stages of Lord WoLsE-
LEYs campaign of thirteen years ago, the
Mahdi did not trouble himself to offer
much opposition. But when u point was
reached where Khartoum might be scri-
ously threatened tho enemy appeared in
great force, and rushed to the slaughter in
hicted on him by the British machine guns.
1t must be said, however, that the condi-
tlons are in some respects more favorable
to success than in the campaign of 1854.
1t Is true that then Lord WoLsELEY's force

The Hon. JOHN p. JONES, Senator In Con-
gross from Nevada, is one of the most in
telligent of the partisanso of the free coinage
OF silver, and it is not surprising to find
MIN saying to n reporter of the NoW York
Times hat he is moi opposed to prosperity
through an increase in gold" Prosperity
seems 10 be opposed to the silver men, and
Mr.. JONES displays remarkable moderation
In refusing to object to prosperity.
The most interesting opinion expressed
by Senator JONES IA to the effects of pros
perity relates to its effect upon trusts:
"Another result that will dow from an abun-
oenoe or money. be II silver or gold, will be the
aoeyance of this hatred OF the trusts. fcherish no
enmity toward tho combinations OF capital. If two
or throe men want 70 combine for the purpose of
oettering their business by loSsening production. they
nave a right TO do so. But the people hate trusts. and
only prosperity will drive monoponcs out OF their
minds Plenty OF money will also crush out the
trusts. They flourish only In hard times"
This theory of trusts is substantially the
same as that published by the atlanta Con-
st1tutton some weeks ago. According to
this theory, capitalists are so poor, on nc
count OF the insufficiency of the cur
rcncy, that they have to combine to cut

must prevent trusts, If this theory be
true. But Senator JONES must be mis-
taken In believing that prosperity will
bring about the allegiance Of the hatred
of trusts The people who think that
they hate trusts will keep OF hating
them. The habit has become inveter.
ate. Even If the trusts would accept
Senator JoNEs's theory and go out Of

times, the trust-hunters would not cease to

most industrious spouters in this or any
other country If trusts were to be abolished 2
What would they do for a living7
No; terrible as prosperity is for the Demo-
Gratis and the Populists. it will not go to
the extent of destroying the trusts. These
will continue. both as a necessity of busi-
ness and as a necessity of the Populistic
and Democratic mind.
