The Persecution OF sohIey.

Does Rear Admiral Schley's
"reprehensible conduct" consist OF
this, that he never whItewashed
the Carnegie armor plate swindle2
Or never made himself useful in
any other way to the trust and cor
poration influences that control
this Administration Or Just what
is behind the persistent attempt to
besmirch a brave man and able
command sr2 Will some Of the
mud singers at Washington speak
up and let us know
One thing these gentlemen may
be very sure of: No reports, or
innuendoes, nor slurs, nor mali
cious insInuations, such as we have
had steady stream of from certain
we'll known quarters in Washing
ton, can deceive the people as to
the tact that SchleY was the real
conqueror at Santiago; that after
Junior had been jumped over his
head. for no reason that has ever
been made public, he endured with
signal patience the most ungener-
Gus and overbearing treatment,
and that for months he has been
the uncomplaining victim OF or
ganized and systematic abuse and
Misrepresentation at Washington.
Do you know what all this has
been for2 Because it has been evi
dent to the members of a certain
group in Washington that the pub
lie will not tolerate the promotion
of that group's pet to the grade OF
Vice Admiral. Hence they are
determined that if their man can
not get it, neither shall the other
man.
Such a state of things would be
absolutely impossible under any
Administration except one that in
dorses Alger, Eagan, backyard
ism, poisoned beef and swindling
by the beet trust.

that such publication would only
strain the relations between the
United States and Germany still
further.
All other courses being closed
to him, Mr.. Weightman filed a
statement of the facts and a COM
plant against the attache with the
directors OF the Metropolitan Club.
These gentlemen found themselves
in a most embarrassing position.
To suspend Mr.. Herman would
have been to personally offend each
representative Of the Diplomatic
Corps in the club. To have called
into question the statement filed
by Mr.. Weightman would have
been to personally offend each and
every one OF his friends in the club.
Some action had to be taken,and
with Characteristic suavitY the
Board OF Directors resolved that
as the incident in controversy had
occurred outside the doors OF the
club no action could be taken by
the club. So concludes the W0rIa
We do not wish that Mr.. Won
Herman should place himself in
any conflict in behalf Of a matter
which is purely American. There
are from to 10 million Of German
Americans in this country who
watch the Administration and its
papers, and who will get even with
them, and who appreciate the in
dignation and disgust OF Mr.. Won
Herman when he meets a man at
a club house who almost daily
heaps in a public paper the grossest
lies on the country which in part
he representa- man, who will
not have m anhood enough to take
offense ii another pulls his ears for
his meanness.
No, we German Americans will
take care and punish those fellows
at the next elections. Please
leave them to us.

General Miles and the Court OF
Enquiry.


Enquiry.
The impression prevails in po-
litical and military circles that the
Court of Enquiry that has been
appointed to investigate General
Miles's staten ents concerning en-
balmed and diseased meat supplied
TO the soldiers ofthe United States
in Cuba and Porto Rico, NAV be a
prelude to a court-maTtial of the
Major General commanding. That
this is clearly the purpose OF the
clique IN the War Department
that is antagonistic to General
Miles is perfectly obvious. How
ever, General Miles is not without
powerful friends right in the Cabi-
net circle and they will endeavor
to see that he receives fair play.
One point the Algerians make
against General Miles is that even
conceding that he has told the
truth about embalmed beef and
other things 1t was his duty to re-
port the facts to the Secretary OF
War at once and not wait until the
war was practically over before
making his disclosures. 1t is hoped
by Mr.. Alger's adherents TO make
out a sufficient case against Gen
erai Miles to at least furnish a pre-
text for relieving him Of his com
mand. The friends OF General
Mikes, however, are confident thai
he will be able to block his game
Before the investigation is finished
they say Mr.. Alger and his asso'
ciates will be glad to drop Genera.

The Jews and their Ghetto.

With regard to the Jews in Rome
it is a singular tact that they have
generally been better treated by
the religious than by the civil au'
thoritles. They were required to
do homage to the latter every year
in the Capitol, and on this occa-
sion the Senator OF Rome placed
his foot upon the heads Of the
PROSTATE delegates, by way OF ac-
centuating their humiliation and
disgrace, but the service they were
required to do on the accession Of
a new Pope was OF different and
less degrading nature. The Israel
ite school awaited the Pope's pas
sage on his return from taking pos
session Of the Lateran, standing
up in a richly hung temporary
balcony, before which he passed
on his way. They then presented
him with copy OF the Pentateuch,
which he blessed on the spot, and
took away with him. That was all,
and it amounted to sanction, or
permission, according to the Jew
ish religion.
AS for the sumptuary laws the
first one was decreed in Ia16, after
the fall OF the Pierleoni, and it i'm
posed upon all Jews, and other
heretics whomsoever, the wearing
OF a large circle OF yellow cloth
Sc Hn upon the breast. In the fol-
lowing century, according to Bar
racconi, this mark was abolished
by the statutes of the city and the
Jews were made to wear a scarlet
mantle in public; but all licensed
Jewish physicians, being regarded
as public benefactors. were exempt
from the rule. For the profes-
sion Of medicine is one which the
Hebrews have always followed
with deserved success and it fire.
quently happened in Rome that
the Pope's private physician, who
lived in the Vatican and was per
sonage of confidence and import
ance, was a professed Israelite irou
the Ghetto, who worshipped in th'
Synagogue on Saturdays anc
looked with contempt and DISCUS
upon his pontihcal patient as ar
eater Of unclean food. There wa
undoubtedly a law compelling z
certain number Of Jews to heai

That Army Bill.

Our Republican Congress, in its
usual manner, has been displaying
its capacity to deal with the mill
tary and naval establishments OF
the government. 1t is said by
those who believe in fancies instead
of facts that by adding to our re-
sponsibilities we shall rise to them.
1t is true that whenever the re-
sponsibility rests directly upon the
people, the response is all that can
be desired. 1t is also true that
when the responsibility rests upon
the representatives Of the people
that is, upon the government
there is no sign whatever that the
politicians who WELD the political
power have any capacity whatever
to rise to responsibilities--either
new or old. AS far as the army is
concerned, a bill has passed the
House oi Representatives which
exaggerates all the evils upon
which the recent war threw so
strong light that military experts
admit that II the United States
forces had faced a first or second
rate European power they must
have met with temporary defeat.
To state the defect otthe bill briefly
tits full of opportunities for"pulls."
II is made for the appointment OF
and promotion Of civilians, and not
for the establishment OF an efficient
military force. There is hardly a
man among it's intelligent adVo-
Gates who will not admit that it is
the worst OF the three leading bills,
the other two being General Miles's
and Representative McClellan's
bills. 1t opens the door for vast
abuses through the appointment
of civilian sons and grandsons to
Offices, and it contains the great
fault of permitting the President
to add 50, 900 men to the army in
his own discretion. 1t is a bill
made TO catch votes, and to permit
Congress to evade its responsible
lties. One might think these facts
would give a pause to the opti-
mists, but they will not. We learn
by experience in this country, and
always demand our own exper-
ience.
Washington sentinel., 1899-02-18
Does the President want Large
Standing ArmYP

From the accounts Of the Presi-
dents appeals to Senators to put
through the Army reorganization
bill, one would imagine that he
thought the increase in our mill
tary strength provided by that
measure a matter of urgent neces-
sity. But evidently he does not.
IF he did he would do his part to-
ward securing it. He would meet
Congress halt way by giving 1t a
practical assurance that the reor-
ganization requested would be
honestly carried out. He would
remove Alger.
1t is folly to ask Congress to au-
thoriEe any increase OF the army
until that indispensable prelimi-
nary has been attended 20. The
larger the army is under Ayers
management the more clumsy,
feeble and inefficient it will be.
A Republican contemporary ad-
mits that "the Hull bill as it passed
the House is not perfect" but re-
marks that sit is a practical meas
ure, and in the judgment of Adiu-
tant General Corbin will give to
the permanent military establish
ment oil the United States the best
organization in the world"
That is to say, the bill provides
the form OF organization that is
best for Adjutant General Corbin.
The kind Of organization that suits
Adj utant General Corbin and Com
missary General Eagan and Sur
geon General Sternberg, and the
rest OF the vicious Department
parasites that drain the fighting
strength OF the army, is obviously
precisely the sort that Congress
should be most particular to avoid.
Until President Mckinley shows
the sincerity OF his belief in the ne
cessity Of larger army by putting
the War Department into honest
hands, no Democratic Senator
need feel under the slightest obi
CATION to vote him a single addi-
tional soldier.
Washington sentinel., 1899-02-18
Eating an UItimatu m.

The other day Mr.. Mckinley
sent to Congress an "ultimatum"
on the subject OF that SI5o, 200, 900
politico-military plaything for the
exclusive use OF himself, Alger and
Corbin. Now comes the news
that Congress has sent the ultima
tum back and that Mr.. Mckinley,
is sadly engaged in eating it. For
as the World said, an ultimatum is
not good to eat.
Congress is not in love with Mr..
McKinley's friends nor Mr.. Nc
Kinley's dreams of "the State-it
is l." Besides, Congress can't
think with composure OF spending
$I5o, 900 a year on imperial
"pork" when it is on short allow
ance OF the regular diet of Con-
gressional pork"
Pretty soon Spain will ratiiY the
treaty and compel Mr.. Mckinley
to release the 100, 900 "ieconcen-
trados" who are detained upon the
technicality that the war is moi
yet officially ended. And then the
great military minds that control
the War Department will have nc
large masses OF men to send hithel
and yon and to play the imperial
game with,
This is a terrible blow to follow
so soon upon the McEnery resolu
y tion.

THE DEPoPULATIoN OF FRANCE.
MedieGI Press.

The retnrns for 1897 just issued will
afford some encouragement to those
patriotic Frenchm en- who have endeav-
ored to arouse their ,countTYmen to the
serious danger to French prosperity and
influence which the decline In the birth
rate recorded for many years past is
calculated to entail. The subject is one
which should interest the people OF this
country also because there can be no
doubt, as DR.. Henry May has shown,
that a similar process, probably due to
similar causes, is in operation here, The
French returns show that in 1897 the
excess Of births over deaths-in round
numbers $50, 900 births to $4,000 deaths
was due, not to an increase of births,
which were 900 below the number in
1896. but to a farther dminution in
number OF deaths, which in 1896 had
been III, 900
The whole subject of the stationary,
and in certain provinces the rapidly
declining, numbers OF the French
population, has recently been discussed
by NJ Arsene Dumont, who goes so far
as to compare France to sick branch
OF the tree comprising the human race,
and then proceeds to discuss the nature,
causes, and possible remedies of the
malady. 1t is unnecessary to state here
the elaborate statistics, showing that II
the French population be separated
from the foreign population living IN
France, there has been Tor several years
past an actual excess of deaths over
births. The disease, il IS tTue, is a
chronic one, marked by remissions
Thus 1898 did not show so great
| deficiency as the three preceding years
and in 1894 there was an excess of4S, ,ooc
births over deaths, The disease is
nevertheless progressive, and it canno
be said to have hitherto been arrested
A study of the different parts Of France
shows that ths disease tends to spread
like a contagious malady, neighborini
provinces which had hitherto showed al
excess of births over deaths graduall
,becoming implicated. This socia
malady, in NJ. Dumont's opinion, fur
l nishes a striking proof Of the fact tina

sermons once a week, first in the
Trinita del PellegrinI, and after
wards in the Church Of SAINT An
gelo in the Fishmarket, and it was
from time to time vigorously en-
forced; it was renewed in the pres
ent century under Leo XII, and
only finally abolished, together
with all other oppressive measures,
by Plus TX. at the beginning OF his
reign. But when one considers
the friehtful persecution suffered
by the race in Spain, it must be
conceded that they were relatively
we'll treated in Rome by the Popes.
It was their treatment by the peo-
ple, rather than the matter itself,
which made their carnival races,
in which they we're forced to run
after hearty meal, together with
a great number OF Christians, an
intolerable tyranny; and when
Clement TX. exempted them from
it, he did not abolish the races OF
Christian boys and old men. The
people detested the TelVs, hooted
them, Kissed them, and maltreated
them with and without provocation
Moses Mendelssohn, The father OF
the composer, wrote to a friend
from Berlin late in the eighteenth
century, compls ming bitterly that
in that self-styled city Of toleration,
the cry Of "jew" was raised against
him when he ventuTed into the
streets with his children bY day
light, and that the boys throw
stones at them as they passed.
Paul w, the Carata Pope, and
the friend Of the Inquisition, con-
fined the Jews to the Ghetto.
There can be no doubtful that the
act was intended as measure OF
severity against heretics, and as
such Plus TX. considered it inde-
fensible and abolished it. In act
ual fact it must have been Of enor-
nous advantage to the Jews, who
were thus provided with strong
hold against the prosecutions and
robberies OF the rabble. The little
quarter was enclosed by strong
walls with gates, and if the Jews
were required to be within them at
night, on pain Of fine, they and
their property were at least in
safety. This tact has never been
noticed, and accounts for the SER
entity with which they bore their
nightly Imprisonment for three
centuries. Once within the walls
of the Ghetto they were alone, and
could go about the little streets in
perfect security; they were free
from the contamination as well as
safe from the depredations of
Christians, and within their own
precincts they were not forced to
wear the hated orange colored cap
or net which Paul w. imposed
upon the Jewish men and women.
To a great extent, too, such isola-
ton was already in the traditions
OF the race. A hundred years
earlier Venice had created its
Ghetto; so had Prague, and other
European cities were not lone in
following. Morally speaking, their
confinement NAV have been humil.
iation; in sober fact, it was an i'm
mense advantage. Moreover, a
special law OF "emphyteusis" made
the leases OF their homes inaliena-
Bile, so long Is they paid rent, and
forbade the raising of the rent
under any circumstances, while
leaving the tenant absolute free
dom to alter and improve his
house as he would, together with
the right to sublet it, or to sell the
lease itself to any other Hebrew
aud these leases became very val
liable.

DEATH OF THE PRINCESS OF BULGARIA.
DGiIy NsVS-London, Feb.

Daily Nsws-London, Feb.
The sad death Of the Princess of Bull
garia may have some political effect.
While she remained at Sofia the PapacY
had strong hold IN the principality.
The princely pair quarrelled on the
question of Papal influence, and when
the Prince consented to let his eldest
son be Irebaptized into the Orthodox
Churce, she, tor awhile broke off all
relations with him. But Rome sent her
back, and was the principal agent in the
reconciliation, as it had been in the
quarrel. The heir to the throne stays
Orthodox, but there will now be no one
at hand to remind him oil the faith he
proiessed, or others professsed for him,
in his cradle. It was disreputable
business tor the husband and father from
first to last. He is a Catholic, ii he is
anything; but he assumed the crown on
the understanding that his eldest son
should be brought up in the religion OF
his subjects. The son was scarcely born
when the father felt that he was strong
enough to set the promise aside, and the
child was baptized a Catholic. Deep
resentment was felt throughout the
principality, and what was of much more
importance, in Russia. True to her
policy Of keeping Bulgaria within her
own sphere Of influence, that Power
determined ito have the heir to the
throne a member other own communion
It was the first condition Of the Cars
reconciliation with Prince Ferdinand,
and he accepted it under the pressure o.
exceedingly we'll founded fears for the
security OF his own position, He went
| 70 Russia and humbled himself; and as
Russia had given the word OF command
that there should be no Bulgarian
quarrel with Turkey, he afterwards went
TO Constantinople and performed the
same operation for The benefit OF the
Sultan. his over lord. Since the
successes OF the Turks in the late war
with Greece he is further than ever from
the position OF independence to which
he asptres.

A GLEE CLUB
Being Organized Among Members of
the Athletic Club

A number of the musical members of the
Birmingham Athletic club are organizing a
Glee club, and propose making it one of
the features of the Athletic clubs social
life this winter. 1t is proposed to have
twelve or sixteen voices, and practice will
begin this week. c. C. Washburn will be
the director.
In order to acqualnt the general public
of Birmingham with the splendid quarters
and equipment of the Athletic club, each of
the 300 members of the club have been au
thorized to extend the privileges of the
club to some friend, whether he lives in
Birmingham or not, for the whole of
Christmas week.
The committee that is arranging the de-
tails of this winters basket ball season has
not yet announced just who viii compose
the three teams, but as far as possible the
organization of last years teams will be
maintained.
The first game Is scheduled 10 be played
Thursday, January l. between and B
teams.
