PERSIAN Jews. From the Black
Sea to Calcutta, from Bagdad to
Kai-fong-too, we meet with Persian
Jews. That is to say Persian, in
the sense that we in Europe are
German" They worship, or used
to worship, in the Persian Rite;
they speak Persian; they translate
Persian into Hebrew charac-
ters; they have a Hebrew-Persian
literature, and they hold vague
sort of tradition that they are de-
scended from Persian ancestry.
Their Hebrew. Persian literature,
however, is almost unknown,
and as late as October, 1895,
the learned Dr. Neubauer, with all
his scholarly accuracy, could only
write in a tentative sort ofway, at
is certain that the Persian Jews had
a ritual and a literature Of their
own, which we at present know
only through a few manuscripts OF
the Bibliotheque Rationale, the
British Museum, and in the I'm
perial Library OF st. Petersburg"
Bible manuscripts apart, there are,
in all three together. barely dozen
volumes OF such manuscripts. DIR.
Neubauer'S remark, made as it was
a by0boS of those mysteries OF civ
ilization the Chinese Jews-was
especially startling because of its
reminding us that the Jews of Per-
sis were almost as great mystery
to us as their lost brethern of the
Far East. And yet they are so
near that in something less than
six week, and in two successive
summer vacations, / have been

homes of Teheran, and Samar-
kand, and Bokhara, and bring
away a hundred manuscripts and
more to fill up gap in our litera-
ture, or at least in our Libraries.
The roads to Turkestan and Persia
do not diverge till one reaches
the Caspian Sea. There are two
great ports Of embarkation -Baku,
the City OF Fire, and Petrovsk.
Each is the terminus Of a great line
of railway. Baku ends the Trans
caucasian Railway, which begins
at Batoum and is only about
thousand miles long. Petrovsk has
IN the last two years become the
end of the great trunk line of Rus
sia, 5000 versts farther than Mos
COW. From Calais to Petrovsk
takes about seven days. 1t is the
shortest, cheapest and nastiest
route to the Caspian. 1t is overland
throughout. and in Europe all the
time. Only for few hours in the
last day does one get distant
glimpse of the great peaks OF the

No man can say with truth that the Repub

and distress which made free silver danger

was TO restore prosperity TO industries and IN
his last speech. as in his first after the nom
nation. President Mckinley made II clear to
everybody that the Republican party regarded
Protection as its first duty. and rs the sure
remedy for the monetary danger then 'hrea'
ening. His words were tclegraphed all over
the country and read in every city Derore men
cast their ballots No man can honestly pre-
tend that the Republican party has not done
exactly what II promised restored prosperity
TO industries and thereby removed monetary
danger and anxiety.
The same issues are here to-day Inc men
who then used all sorts Of false prctences, nut

The pcrils which passed away with their de-
feat that year will come again every one OF
them. and with the same anxiety and inevi-
ground enough to control Congress and threaten

same party which then yelled for free silver
that now puts UP free silver men for Senator
