What nation or race is there that would not be
glad to claim Heine and Boerne, whose writings are
the delight of every inspired soul? From what other
source has philosophy reaped so rich a harvest as
from the writings of Mendelssohn and Spinoza?
Ranke, Zunz and Graetz have rescued from obscurity
the history of our people and their relation to Europ-
can civilization. Lasker and Herzfeld have taken
front rank as patriots. While l can halt only a mo-
ment to mention such names. as Mendelssohn, Halevi,
and Rubenstein, in music; Auerbach, in literature;
Traube, in medicine; Lazarus, in psychology. These
and a host of Others sprang from the conditions de-
scribed to you this afternoon, and they take position
in the front rank wherever virtue, intellect, character
and sentiment reign. They have carved their names
on the everlasting monument of time, and their fame
will be handed down the centuries to embelish his
tory and help in the redemption of the character Of
the Jew, which, butfor such as they, might have been
written in infamy by their traducers and oppressors.

the survival Of this last named device that now rep
reSents a money-power, capable of shaking the

respect for an agency that can withhold at will the
substance that builds up navies, supports armies or

There stands now in the city of Nuremburg a mag
ni6cent monument to one of the main contentious of
this paper. In the market place there was erected

one of the most ambitious of the religious structures
of Europe. This building, which is the repository of
an untold wealth of armorial bearings, elegant sculp-
lures, old stained-glass pictures, valuable altar and
handsome paintings, was erected on the site OF a syn
agogue destroyed during the persecution of the Jews,
at a time when the sufferers, having been driven from
home, left no one behind to claim their property.
But having been attacked while at prayer, they were
no doubt glad to escape with their lives.
Let it not be forgotten that a few humane Chris
tians, though at great risk to themselves, assisted the
homeless outcasts with food and shelter. 1t is the

of the Roentgen ray, to make visible bone, sinew,

Though the serpent OF hate cast it's venom in the
boiling caldron, there came forth poets who reflected
undying sentiment; though the bands of oppression
were shackled upon the people, they burst forth in
song of musical cadences; though robbed of liberty,
their statesmen developed a mine of wisdom; though
innoculated with germs of disease in the slums of
cities, they rescued the science of medicine from OBJ
scurity by their writings on anatomy and hygiene.

Oregon to Ground the Cape"
and Go to Manila-AlsO
the Iowa.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary of the Navy Long stated
last night that the battleships Iowa and
Oregon are under orders to proceed to
Manila via Honolulu to reinforce Ad-
miraI Dewey's command.
In directing them to touch at Homo
lulu the authorities were actuated by
two motives-the first to put them in
central position where they could be
available for any duty in the Pacific
which might be considered desirable
and the second because they did not
care to send achievements to Rear
Admiral Dewey before the armistice
between the United States and Spain
expired.
It is expected in official circles that
the battleshtps and the five GOLFERS
which will accompany them will be rea-
dy to sail by Monday next. The ships
will not waste any time in making the
voyage. They viii make few stops and
these only to coal and to communicate
with the department.
While believing there will be no in
ternatiOna1 developments to change the
programme the authorities do not pro-
pose to be in such a position that they
cannot modify the instructions to the
vessels in case of necessity, and it is
for this reason they are to touch at
certain points to report and receive or
ders.
battleships is due to the desire of the
authorities to keep them so we'll sup
piled with coal that if it becomes neceS-
sary to change the course of the ships
and send them to Samoa or by a short
cut to Manila they can make the voyage
without difficulty.
So far as Germany is concerned, the
authorities say there is nothing in her
attitude to cause the belief that she
proposes to interfere with any DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines this government
may see fit to make. It is appreciated,
however, that it will be the part of
wisdom for the United States to put in
the Pacific a force so formidable as to
discourage even the suggestion of in
reference.

Dewey's present force amounts to 3d.

mander reaches 81, 81. Rear Admiral

and their men have the advantage of
having been under fire.
The monitors Monterey and MOnad-
mock are mainly serviceable for work in
smooth water, and if the German ships
should start for the Pacific coast, as
would be the case in the event of war,
Rear Admiral Dewey would have only
his protected cruisers and gunboats to
depend upon. With two battleshfps at
his disposal, increasing the tonnage of
his squadron to So 359 tons he would
have a force with which the Germans
or any other nation would not care to
meet

Another dispatch from Minister Con-
ger indicates that the emperor of China
has taken a long stride in advance IN
civilization by encouraging the news
papers of his empire to publish a truth
full and full account of daily events and
to be both bold and fearless in the dis
cussion of current affairs.
He has by public proclamation made
the Chinese Daily Progress an official
organ and has declared that articles
which appear, in Chinese newspapers,
though apparently displeasing to him,
shall not on that account be suppressed
He has directed that important ar
ticles of current events in the leading
papers shall be marked and presented
to him promptly. He assigns, in his
proclamation, the reason for this that
he desires to extend his knowledge Of
affairs, both Chinese and foreign.

COLON is HOPELESS.
All Efforts to Raise the Sunken Span
ish Warship Given Up.

New York. Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
With the detachment of Commodore
Watson from the command of the eastern
squadron, all work in connection with the
raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon will cease.
Lieutenant George P. Blow. who has had
especial charge of the wreckage opera
tons under Commodore Watson, has re-
ported that it is impossible to save that
vessel Naval experts say that as the
Colon has been under water for more than
two months the salt water has probably
injured her machinery and that if she is
allowed to remain in her present position
any length of time it is doubtful If she
will be of any great value even if raised.
So far as the cruiser Infanta Maria Ter
esa is concerned, it is understood, high
hopes are entertained that she can be
saved. It is reported that her bottom is
firmly fixed on a rock and the wreckers
have been doing everything in their power
to repair the hole, so that she can be
floated. Commodore Watson asked few
days ago for more cement and other ma
terial, and they have been shipped to
Guantanamo.
Captain G. F. Goodrich, who will be
senior officer in command of the vessels
in the waters of southeastern Cuba, will
take charge of the work of arising the
Infanta Maria Teresa upon the departure
of Commodore Watson.

New York, Sept. 15.-Secretary Long
proposes to re-establish the European

HONOR FOR DEWEY.
The Office of Vice Admiral to Be Gre
ated for Him.

New York. Sept. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long is expected to make
special reference in his annual report to
the operations of the Asiatic squadron and
particularly to the conduct of Rear Ad-
mirl Dewey. Department officials gener-
ally believe that the best is not too good
for that officer, and no surprise would be
expressed if the secretary were to recon-
mend that the grade of vice admiral be
created in order that it might be filled
by the appointment of Rear Admiral
Dewey.
AS showing the faith put in Rear Ad-
miral Dewey, the department does not
exact from him a statement concerning
his doings but is satisfied to let him have
a free hand and take such necessary ac-
ton as he may deem proper. He is kept
we'll advised of the international situation,
particularly with reference to the Pacific,
but the department has every confidence
in his good judgment.
There has been a great deal of talk in
various circles in favor of the proposition
to create the grade of vice admiral, and if
congress should take such action the pres
ident will willingly confer it upon Rear
Admiral Dewey.

GOT TO SHOW THEM.
Cubans Good Fellows if They Only
Understand.

New York, Sept. 15.-In an interview
in this city Gen. Joseph Wheeler said:
1.-THE character of the Cubans has
been somewhat misrepresented. They
are by no means as black as they are
painted. AS far as I have come to
know they are tractable and permit
themselves to be reasoned with. It is
merely a question of knowing how to
handle them You have got to make
everything plain to them and appeal to
their common sense. 1t must be borne
in mind that their ways of thinking are
entirely different from ours. and they
look on things in an entirely different
light, but once they understand that
what we intend to do is for their good
they will hardly cause us any trouble.
Take, for instance, the. way the Gu
bans behaved before the battle Of La
Quasima- We had intended to have
them cooperate with US and informed
the Cuban officers of our intentions. In
consequence of some misunderstand-
ing the forces we expected they would
place at our disposal did not arrive in
time, but instead 200 men under General
Castillo put in an appearance, and the
latter announced that he was ready to
go into the fight wits us but he wanted
to place his men in the front. I pointed
out to him that this would be impFacti-
cable and asked the men, for instance,
if they should receive orders from their
general to go to SibOney, and General
Chanee, who commanded the brigade,
should order otherwise, whom they
would obey, and they replied they would
follow their general. I showed them
that this would result in a conflict of
authority, which would do US more
harm than good, and finally I succeed
ed in making them as docile and trac-
table as they could be. All they need is
fair treatment and good diplomatic ar
gument and we shall have no trouble.
1.-The administration has been serious
ly considering the question of enlisting
CUbans for the United States army and
I am quite in favor of the idea. I think
they would make good soldiers with a
little training under American officers,
and once they absorb the American
soldiers traits they can be relied upon
to take care of Cuba themselves. OF
course, at present they are not fit to
govern, and they will have no oppor-
tunity of doing So"
