in religion and it would become moral
force instead of a fashion.
1t may take some time to impress the
idea that the religious feeling man has
is spurious growth unless it compels
him to pay his debts. The old adage
that money is the root of evil Is mis-
interpreted 1t is the root OF evil. not
when honestly acquired, but when dis
honestly retained Why not make hon
esty in business matters basis Of moral
training? When the sense OF obligation
is felt moral susceptibility is incfeasei
and moral growth on every line follows
as naturally ~ one vice breeds iino5ler
Religion must dei.l with man actlv-
tiles if it is to be factor III his develop
ment. IT must have relation to his every
day occupation ana associations 1t must
have reference to him specifically .s11
personally and not as an atom OF soci-
ETY. We find men, not consciously bad,
bewailing evils OF public nature to
which they make liberal contribution.
II is their contribution and not the az
gregate which should receive their atten-
ton if society is TO be bettered. True,
community OF feeling is an aid TO the IN
iividual in grasping hit principles, but
the individual is the direct object OF re-
ligious teaching
The command thou shalt not steal

The man who does not pay his debts
steals. in every moral sense, as well as
the person who 'purloins. Why not
hold him equally responsible with the
man whose form of theft makes the word
thief proper appellation: It's effects
are the same both with reference to the
moral degeneracy of the act and loss OF
property to the victim.
There was a time when failure to pay
debts was by nomeans common. 1t was
deemed an offense against good morals.
The offender felt he was not i'll good
standing either in the church or III soci-
ety. We need restoration OF that form
of religion, something which will make
men critical of their acts and their omis-
sions. If churches will show they can
make men more thoughtful, more in
clined toward determination. more
critical of themselves and less of others,
more anxious to inaugurate justice and
honesty by being just and honest them

VIM f. CURTIS, the celebrated news
paper correspondent, is travelling in South
America. He says there is growing
suspicion among the nations of that con-
Uinent of the United States. The expan-
sion policy of the country creates the
fear that we may look with greedy eyes
toward South American republics. This
rear is nursed by newspapers having
Spanish sympathles. Wnile the people
OF this country can readily perceive there
is no ground for apprehension ON the part
Of South American nations 1t is also evld-
emit that the weak are always suspicious
OF the strong and magnify every danger.

we shall gain in the Orient by our policy

IT Is reported that at conference of
lergymen held at Mt Olive, Ills, last
week, it was decided that life insurance
s sinful, and reasonably fair but super
icial arguments were advanced to sup
port this theory, But life insurance has
passed beyond the control of the clergy.
In this connection it may be said that
she Irish people not 50 long ago had, Il de

If IT was not for England's known
propensity for land grabbing and the
suspicion that her present interference
in the Transvaal has purpose ultimate
to that of securing civic rights for Eng
lish residents of the South African Re-
public, she would be quite generally up
held in her contention. We cannot argue
that it is unjus for her to claim that re-
nunciation of allegiance to the British
government should not precede right to
the elective franchise, as we extend almost
all the privileges OF citizenship with but
few OF It's burdens TO foreigners who de-
clare their intention of renouncing allegl-
ssnce to foreign governments.

THE JEWS.

The trial of Dreyfus and the general
attention il attracted will have one good
result 1t will induce people to examine
he Jewish character with more care,
snd less prejudice, than was their wont.
Many who thought themselves wholly
rec from bigotrs toward any race usual
y set down jew as d man whose par
jial suppression is Il public good
The Jews are people without Il coun-
Try, but scattered all over the world they
nave preserved their national character
sites, their religion and bond of SYM
oathy stronger than that cemented by
common allegiance to government. A
in of their ancestors, common in those
times, as form goes, but unusual as to
jhe nature of the sufferer has descended
TO them through two centuries making
intolerance toward them religious duty.
Persecution drove them to n commercial
life at period when nobility of charac-
ter was shown by bearing arms. This
strengthened inherited prejudice But
the Jew withstood it all. Persecution
could not drive him to Il vagabond life
nor could dispersion obliterate the traits
of nationality His is the same Jew to-
day plus the graces and power of civil
cation. he was when one of Gods chosen
people
There must be strength of character
in this persistency of type. What other
nationality, exiles in any part of the
world. could thus maintain its distinc-
tive features, resist the effect of, while
submitting to oppression and passing
from father to son down to the present,
4 load of obloquy almost beyond compre-
hensiong
The Jew is devoted to his fellows; OPP
preston made him SO. He is sharp in
business transactions; it is an Inheritance
from the times when il was deemed
praiseworthy 10 conhscate his property
He is socially exclusives he was debarred
from associations outside his own race
and is only now what past necessity
made him.
Almost everything the jew is that is
undesirable was imposed by cruelty and
mju hce. The case of Dreyfus is a
Nineteenth century repetition of what
was common III the middle ages, with
| the Dreyfus case relieved of all the de.
| testahle features of those of the middle
ages which could be secured by the adj
vance of civilization What had the
Jew TO oppose to such treatment? Gun.
ming and the power which wealth gives.
Jews are sharp in business dealings.
1t is skill against skill And they pay
their debts. Did any one ever see a jew
tramp Are Jews Il common sight in
criminal docks Do.Iewish children ever
show signs of parental neglect Did any
one ever see a jew beggar? Long Branch
was abandoned by the fashionable be
cause Jews become numerous Did an,
one ever suffer annoyance on street cor
ner from jew Can any one say that
a drunken jew ever tried to force com
partnership on him2 For that matter
how many people Withhold up their righr
hands rs sign they have seen a drunke,

his wife or any member Of his family

phenomenon which future philosophers

site effects produced by Reorganization.
It usually results in chaos, multiplicity

this instance the breaking away from
established principles has resulted in the
general acceptance of the leadership of
one man, inexperienced but ambitious
superficial but earnest, as a substitute
for devotion to time-honore1 principles

with reference to public questions

of which brilliancy is often the rehec-

IT is not at all improbable that T. B.
Reed may seek to wrest the republican
nomination for the Presidency from Mr.
Mckinley. And if this probability ma
terializes, Reeds success is less unlikely
than is his appearance as a contestant
Reed Is a man OF strong personality. bold
able and of unwavering purpose. No
other President confronted with great
questions has lost the confidence of the
people in his treatment Of these ques-
tions to the extent that President Nc
Kinley has,
His policy with respect to the Philip
pine Islands did not meet with general
approval Had it been vigorous it would
have received respect Reed would
have settled the Filipino question one
way or the other and done it quickly
When matter is settled definitely the
people are content even when they think
A different settlement from that made
would be better
With Mckinley renominated the re-
publican party would be ON the defen-
