DR.. Nordau says that the sons OF
Jewish merchants who are wealthy,
manifest a strong desire to abandon
the vocation of their fathers, and take
up with intellectual occupations which
demand self-denial and give less ma
terial returns.
This Is n new aspect of the Jewish
character, and one which will not be
quickly recognized by those who have
accepted the belief that the Jews are
born traders and financiers, with a
singular aptitude for "skinning' man

NORDAU AND TIE JEWS.

Max Nordau writes that in every
land of the civilized world there is to-
day the problem of the Jew He
searches for the reasons of the anti
Semitism of centuries, and sums them
up in the proposition that it is a
characteristic of man to be inimical
to all who differ from him in essence
and thought. The more decided the
difference the more inimical the feel
ing.
Even where there is really only a
slight difference in religious and po-
iitical sentiment among the civilized
races, bitter antagonisms exist. Hat

A SNAIL CONTRIBUTION.

The American Bible Society states
| in leaflet recently issued that i
needs $25O,O0O a year for the purpose
OF distributing Bibles, and that only
| $50 1886. SO was contributed last year b!
living people. This annual contribu'
ton of the 100000 of living people
in America hardly rises above the
monthly net earnings of several Ha'
waiian sugar plantations.
There are about $4,000, 900 of com
municants belonging to the religious
denominations of the United States
or these 100000 are Roman Catho
lies, who do not approve of the circu
lation of the Bible, excepting under
priestly direction. There remains l6,
500 900 of persons who do seriously
believe in circulating ii. The amount
contributed last year is about a
nickel for each communicate.
The insigniicance of this amount Is
due to some adequate cause. 1t can
not be said that the people are less re-
lgious than they have been. To
make that assertion is to declare that
the religious movement is going back
ward. To say so, is TO declare rank
atheism, because there never has been,
and cannot be, a backward movement,
although some miserable worms of the
dust may think so.
1t is said by some that the absence
of the reading of the Bible in the pub
lie schools has lessened its impor-
lance. This again, is virtually to say
that education tends to shelve it in
the minds of children,
The explanation which gives the
most satisfaction is, that the means OF
the people, even the poorest, are now
quite sufficient to purchase it, without
the least sacrifice.
The general feeling existing and
growing that there is no everlasting
| punishment, covering anguish, torture
and fire, no doubt has taken the fear
out of many souls who have regarded
the reading OF the Bible as sort OF
security against being subjected tC
such unpleasant proceedings hereafter
Aside from this, the business demands
the pushing of industrial enterprises
the increasing number of dinners
lunches and picnIcs, leaves little tim,
for the reading of the Book.
In the early days of the Kohala 81
gar plantation, the native laborer
were required to attend daily prayer
and Bible reading at the house Of thp
manager, and, on one occasion, thD
board of directors considered the mat
ter Of discharging several natives wh.

not aware Of the correct situation re-
garding the operation of these rules.
The President has been, and Is, a
civil-service reformer. He steadfast-
ly advocated reforms while he was a
member OF Congress, and at time
when the public did not support such
measures.
When he came into office. after
Cleveland's sweeping order bringing
nearly all Offices under civil service
rules, he was embarrassed by 1t, be-
cause 1t maintained in Office many I'M
desirable persons. and, to large ex-
tent, retained Democrats In Office.
There appeared to be unfairness in
this proceeding. Whether the Presi-
dent has given way to the demands Of
the politicians, or has modified Mr..
Cleveland's order. because It ought to
be modified, does not yet clearly ap-
pear. As the President Is good man,
and an acknowledged reformer, 1t is
safe to assume that he Is satisfied that
There appeared to be unfairness in
fication. To assume that his recent
order is really retrograde act, may
do him injustice. Those who disagree
with him say that he is under the
pressure of bad men. 1t cannot be
true. He has shown great force and
nerve in dealing with public ques-
tions, when in the embarrassing posi-
ton Of being the responsible agent Of
a great democracy.
The people, judging from the rapid
extension of civil service reform, are
entirely committed to it, and the Pres
ident quickly responds to the voice Of
the people, If it is clear and we'll con-
sidered. What certainly appears to be
a backward movement ON his part,
may, after due consideration, be a
wise measure. in view of all the cir
cumstances.

THE FOURTH ONCE MORE.

The Fourth of July, 1899, finds thu
American people in very prosperous
condition financially, and in sober
condition politically. Although eXpe'
rience has taught us that in the fat

man is specializing for all he Is worth

Dor OF earning money by the sweat OF

POOR COLONIES.

The Hollanders have made mos
remarkable experiment, with success
In dealing with the poor. There are
four poor colonies in the Kingdom
owning 5000 acres of land. Any citi-
zen, by subscribing twenty dollars q
year, has the right to send poor
family to one of the four colonies
The family is provided with sepa-
rate house, sheep for milk, and la
paid current wages. The children Al {
taught various industries. After a
workman has been in the colony for
two years on probation. he is given
nearly eight acres OF land, and the
right to vote. He is also allowed a
small credit, and a COW. An inspector
watches him, and gives him advice.
He pays $50 per year rental. The av-
erage expense to each member OF the
charitable societies who support these
charities is only 50.
In 1895 there were 1896 residents in
these poor colonies. The colonists
were satisfied. The most important
feature of the colonies Is that the
children of these poor people are edu-
Gated in the manual training schools
A tract of land containing 943 acres
Is devoted TO forestry, and its uses
and the boys become trained foresters
as well as horticulturists.
These four poor colonies have not
yet been self-supporting, but the cost
% each member of the several socie-
ties is extremely small. The gain to
the community is great. 1t is the
least expensive form of helping the
poor, and the best. because it makes
the poor better members of society.
The Hollanders find, as other people
find, that the surest way TO provide
for the poor is to bring them in in
telligent contact with the soil from
which support is obtained in the sur
IT way.
Experiments are being made in sew.
eral places on the Mainland, which
follow the Holland method. Some OF
them will succeed because they are
managed by men who know how tc
succeed.
The social conditions of these Isl.
ands have not forced the general care
Of the poor upon the attention OF t..t
community. There are NUMBER O
cases OF poverty which require atten
ton, but we have no pauper class
The natives, however, whenever com
mercial depression comes, will quickly
furnish such a class. Provision should
now be made for them by the state
No plan will be adequate that does
not contemplate placing the native on
the soil, under wise supervision, and
with the proper environment. There
are philanthropic men here in abund-
ance who are anxious enough to give
the natives a religious training, but
there are few who recognize the fact
that only under suitable industrial
conditions IL religious training oil
real value
The late settlers in these Islands do
not, and with some reasons for 1t, take
any interest in the natives. Whenever
the administration of public affairs
passes into the hands of these later
citizens, the care of the natives will
resemble that given to the Indians,
modified only by the influence of the
white kamaainas. But before the in
evitable change is made, the Govern
ment should initiate, and If possible,
complete a general scheme for the
large and increasing class Of the ma
tive poor.

Death of Nichols Haag.

Nicholas Haag died at his home in
North Plymouth Tuesday. He had
been an invilid for years but until this
week no change was visible for the bet
ter or worse. sunday night he arose
from bed to get drink of water In so
doing he lost his footing and received a
bad fall. From that time on, he sank
rapidly until the final crisis.
Mr.. Haag was born in 1910 which
made him 80 years old when he died
At an early date he left Germsny, his
mother country, for America. He lived
in Ohio a number of years, then came
to Marshall county in 1855. Most of
his life hero was spent upon his farm
north of this city. About six months
ago he moved to town. He was the
father of eight childrea, four of whom
are dead. The living ones reside in
this county and are Daniel, Philip,
David and Samuel.
The funeral took place Wednesday
at 10 a. M Remains were laid away
in the Jacoby cemetery.

TALK OF THE NEW PAPER.
senator Shea Says John r. M'Lean VIII
Have One at Indianapolis.

Have One at Indianapolis.
According to the statement made by
senator Joseph Shea (democrat) of
Scottsburg, one of the leaders in the
senate, there is little doubt about the
speedy establis hment of new demo
cratic daily in Indianapolis. AS he was
not party of the recent trouble be-
tween Senator Drummond and one of
local reporters, he claims to be free
from bias except in party matters. He
claimed Tuesday that the democrats
had made the resolution many months
ago to have another stare organ, and
that, during the past campaign, the
party workers had considerable trouble
keeping the party in line in support of
the present organ.
Since the Legislature convened the
matter took definite shape and Senator
Heller, it is stated, acting as chairman
of the committee appointed to look over
the field, opened up correspondence
with Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the
chairman of the democratic national
committee, on the subject of the
proposed change. At the same
time Senator Heller put the committee
in communication with John r. Nc
Lean, proprietor of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, with the result that the latter in
letter of recent date states that he
will either purchase or establish dem
ocratic paper in Indianapolis at an
early date. 1t is his purpose, according
to Senai or Shea, to first make an effort
to buy the Indianapolis News, and fail
Ing in this will start new pa ,er.
With regard to the proposed purchase
of the News, Maj. j. w. Richards, when
consent to become anybody's partner in
the ownership of the News, should he
be so fortunate as to disentangle
himself from his present embar-
easements and that most of ell
he would never be party to any
plan by which the News would become
party organ. He said that he had re
ceived no proposals of any kind and
that when the time came he would bid
on the News up to the limit at which
he felt it could be made paying in
yestment, and that above that price he
was ready to sell to anyone who
wanted it.
