JEWS IN NEW YORK.

According to the Jewish World there
ARE now in New York no less than $780,
900 people Of Hebrew extraction, or over
IS per cent OF the total population On
Manhattan the Hebrew percentage Is
about n, which means that about every
fourth inhabltant there Is a Jew,
The calculations are founded on the
death statistics, as recorded by the
board of health. Jewish burials
amounted in 1901 to 1897, and as the
death rate in the congested Jewish dis.
tricts Is Is per thousand, the total pop
ulation at the middle Of the year Is
estimated at 533,l33. To this is added
80,225 immigrants and l2AOO births,
making a grand total Of over $4,000,
which, however, Is thought to be rath-
er under than over the actual figure.
When the strength Of the Jewish ele-
ment in New York is considered, the
extensive riots at the funeral of the
late Rabbi Joseph must be considered
most remarkable outbreak Of anti
Semitism. But the lesson of this seems
to be, as pointed out by writer in
the New York sun, that nowhere in
modern civilization can Judaism find
n safe refuge, except by divesting IT.
self Of It's pecullarites, and devlating
from its own history and traditions.
Judaism, with its pecullarities in the
matter Of food and dress Observance of
Sabbaths and Mosaic rites becomes an
object Of scorn and ridlcule.
Rabbi Joseph, 1t seems, was one of
the Jewish champions who, II was
thought, could lead orthodox Judaism
in this country to victory. But this
hope was not realized. He had many
admirers and gained some followers,
but he had also numerous enemies, and
his life became that Of a martyr rather
than a leader among his brethren. The |
incident proves that the Jews, IL their |
religion Is to be kept from decay, must |
have communities Of their own. While
they are strangers In foreign lands, |
they can never hope to re-establish the |
observance of the precepts and COM
of their ancient laws,

PERCENTAGE OF LABoRERs

A census report gives some interest
ing figures showing the total number Of
persons Of both sexes. in the larger
cities, engaged in so-called gainful oc.
equations. The tables show the inter-
esting fact that Salt Lake City is the
place where the smallest percentage OF
the population is thus employed. TIE
proportion here is only As per cent
while the general average is So per
cent.
Some of the eastern cities show a
very high percentage. The figures
cover all laborers, men aud women,
over 10 years of age. In Boston ST.
per cent Of the male inhabitants are
engaged in gainful occupations. and
S0.2 per cent Of the females OF the sare
age. In New York City the percentage
Of men engaged is SO per cent, and tile
proportion OF women 2L2 per cent. In
Philadelphia the figures are practically
the same as In New York.
The largest proportion OF women en- .
Gagged in work for living is found in
the cities OF Fall River, Lowell and
Manchester, n. H., where the propor-
ton is over Al per cent These are mill
towns. In mining towns the percent
age OF women engaged in labor is small
But looking at the averagesituatlon all
over the country, 1t appears that about
2j per cent Of all women over ten years
old, are engaged in some labor for a
living.

Is HE AN ADMIRER OF TRACY ?

But 10 some minds they became almost

readers, particularly those who have
interests in Cache county, Utah, and

tlon OF a large irrigation district, re-
curing the construction OF q canal fifty
miles In length, TO say nothing OF the
laterals necessary 20 conduct water to
the different parts OF the district, which
comprises about thirty-hye thousand
acres OF desirable land, is a project of
some magnitude and requiring energy,
determination and enterprise, partcu-
larly when It IS to be conducted by CO.
operative effort instead OF by large cap
ital. The people Of Cache valley, how
ever we believe will be found equal to
the task, and we may therefore look for
immediate action on this movement,
and may reasonably expect the oOnsum-
nation of the great project within a
period not very far distant. We wish
our friends in the north success in the
accomplishment Of this desirable OBJ
ject and believe that those who engage
in 1t will find that they have made
very profitable investment.

THE NAVAL VICTORY.

The first problem In the war games
| planned for our navy, has been solved
to the satisfaction Of the department,
and the people, II was test, 10 de-
termine whether the New England
coast is sufficiently protected against
the attacks Of hostile squadron. Con-
siderable uneasiness was felt there
when, during the late war, rumor dis
patched Spanish cruisers ON q mission
Of destruction, and the test now made
goes to prove how groundless those
fears were, and how difficult II would
be for an enemy to elude the vigilance
Of our naval officers
In this mimic naval warfare, Com
mander Pllsbury was placed in COM
mand Of a white squadron" consist
ing Of three vessels, and ordered to
land on the coast, somewhere north Of
the Delaware breakwater Admiral
Higglnson, commanding the blue
squadron, consisting Of three battle
ships, ten cruisers and some torpedo
racers. had orders to find the invading
vessels, and destroy them. This has
been done. on the fourth night Of
the game the white squadron was
located, surrounded. and put out Of
action, speaking flguratiyely.
Naval experts have followed the
game with great interest The impress
sion was that only good luck could give
the victory TO the admiral, as the
coast he had to defend Is long for the
number Of vessels under his command.
And the result achieved 1t seems, came
only after ceaseless toll and much Sleep
lessness on the part Of the officers and
men OF the defending feet.
The next test will be an effort by the
combined fleets TO enter the harbor
OF New York. This is to test whether
the batteries along the approaches are
strong enough 20 prevent a landing.
There will be final contest between
the army and navy
There Is some doubt as TO the real
value OF such maneuyers. since a really
hostile attack in all probability would
present very different conditions. Still
they serve to remind the world Of the
fact that We have a navy In proper
TRIM and they furnish needed drill to
the officers and men, particularly IN
scouting work, which now seems to be
of the greatest Importance In war,
both on sea and land.

GIVE Us THE PEOoFp

In reference 10 the unauthorized
steps taken by the city attorney and
other officials for the location of a
reservoir In Parleys canyon II Is
claimed by would-be champion
OF whatever they do or attempt to do.
that the work Of locating a reservoir
and entering suit to condemn the land
chosen for its site, was expressly au-
thorized by the City Council" II that
is true, of course no censure can be
fairly applied to those city officers. But
will the aforesaid would-be champion
please to tell us when this authorization
was made and what are its terms?
As we have already stated. the coun-
ell appropriated the sum Of 81 900 to be
used in the inspection of the canyons
and other places adjacent 10 the city.

ilon Of reservoirs. But we have not
heard OF any report made by the ON
Gals entrusted with this work OF ex-
ploratlon nor Of any adoption by the
council Of q site for a reservoir. or the
authorization Of legal proceedings for
the condemnation Of property. We un-
derstand that all that has been done

head Of the steel company, endures

Senator Wellington says that the
President is the most powerful soyer-
elgn in the world, that II is a curious
fact that the car Of Russia has not as
much actual power in Russia as the
President has here THIS is but repe-
tltlon OF common talk, talk that Is abb
surd and Is not true. There Is more OF
brag and boast In It than anything else.
The car Of Russia is an autocrat and
can do about as he chooses, fear being
his only restraint. The ear wears a
crown, the President constitutional
harness. lie can execute laws but he
cannot enact them. 1t Is a poor COM
pliment to the trainers OF the Constitu-
ton TO say that they made the chief ex-
ecutiye Of the nation more powerful
than any sovereign when to get away
from sovereigns and their power was
one OF their chief aims.
