Correspondence OF the Indianapolis Journal
KISHINEFF, July 1.-The mayor of
Kishineff, a naturalized German, named
Schmidt permitted your correspondent to
use his name in the following interview:
Passing on a large volume OF newspaper
clippings, dealing with the massacre, he
admitted freely that the reports were not
exaggerated, adding that neither the police.
nor the troops, both of which were under
Won Raaben's command, had done anything
to protect the jews. He continued:
When, on the first day of the massacre,
"a committee of Jews waited upon me. asking
protection, could do no more than advise
them as follows: There are, so far as can
be ascertained, less than thousand rioters.
You Jews number from five to six thousand
able bodied men. Organize, then, and offer
battle to the mob; that is the only way to
save yourselves and families Z" The mayor
added: But the Jews showed no spirit;
they would not heed my advice. On the con-
trary. those who had money enough to buy
protection from the troops and police did SO
and let the poor majority shift for them
selves. AS a matter of fact. only the poor
Jews suffered; no well-to-do or rich Jew was
in danger unless he was too stingy to fee
and bride the police"
do you mean to say that the police would
have upheld the Jews If they had shown
a bold front?' L asked. Mayor Schmidt was
not positive as to that. but mentioned that
only in isolated cases the police advised
Jews Offering resistance to go home. "Other-
wise they did not interfere" he asserted.
How did the mob distinguish between the
houses of Jews and Christians?"
1.-The Christians" said the mayor, had
placed crucifixes fanked by lighted candles
against their windows. that signified that
the house must not be disturbed. 1 repeat

Surgical Steel.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

Many of the best surgeons in New York,
including those in the larger hospitals, send
their instruments for repairs to a man in
the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn. He
has also a contract with the city for re-
pairing surgical instruments for the public
hospitals. According TO this specialist,
American-made steel has not yet reached a
point of perfection that makes it available
for superior class of work. Surgical
steel can be wrought and bought only in
England" he said. 1.-The famous surgeons
of Berlin and Vienna must send to England
for their instruments In modern surgery
where life or death depends absolutely
upon the reliability of the instrument to do
exactly the work that the operator expects
of it, no surgeon will take chances with
knife, scissors or forceps that he cannot de-
upon his own nerve"

and such insular public opinion as finds ex-
preston upholds that policy, it seems GER
tain that the conflicting tendencies cannot
readily be adjusted. One side seeks TO place
the brown brother on white footing; the
other believes that task impossible for the
success of any plans now in sight, and that
if the islands are really to prosper the ma
tives, commercially speaking, must be
pushed off them Such an issue is not likely
to be decisively settled until resources in ma
tive character and disposition shall have
been thoroughly tested.

which even now cannot be supplied with the
little effort that formerly sufficed for them
This persistent meddling with pre-existing
comfortable or agreeable as formerly, and
the masses are very prone to forget what
they escaped in the dread of what they
must endure should westernizing notions of
development prevail. There has been little
use in trying to convince them that the
plans proposed would bring them into mod
ern line and prosper them. They prefer the
old ways and have little love for those who
would disturb those ways, under whatever
pretext or profession.
A CONFLICT OF IDEAS.
On the American side the natives are gen.
orally condemned as useless and without in
dustrial ambition or capacity. In clerkships
and minor office work a certain neatness of
product has been recognized, inducing the
opinion that opportunity now offered may
develop generation of escrivientes; in man.
ual industries the Filipino. if not decidedly
inferior holds out small promise of advanc-
ing beyond the second artisan grade; while
common labor is most obdurately opposed to
the methods Of constant application which
American enterprise demands. 'Demonstra-
tons SUCH have been indicated are re-
garded as proving nothing except that by
compliance with exceptionally trying condi-
tons labor may be obtained in limited sup
ply, but that at best they open prospect
for poor article at a high price and serv-
ice upon which no reliance can be placed
even with its narrow limitations as to eff
cheney.
Government policy is now manifest and the
fiict between diverging tendencies. Restric-
ton of corporate land holdings to $500 acres
shuts the door to movements along modern
lines in tobacco, hemp and other products of
. the soil; and the extreme solictude ex-
pressed for the native looks largely 10 the
creation of a peasant ownership of land, a
condition economically fatal TO buoyant COM
mereial growth; while the hope of capital in
terests is TO convert opportunity into wealth
by means indigenous TO the temperate zones
but quite foreign to these possessions. There
is, of course, question that central au-
thority is seriously concerned for the perma-
nent welfare of the islands In the CONNER
cial view hope lies in the availability of la
Dor. whether under indenture or not. cap
able of giving full and fair effect to the de-
| signs of capital. 1t does not contemplate the
possibility OF adequate relief through agen-

President Roosevelt Strongly Con.
dennis Mob Violence. 49,.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 10.-In let
ter, the publication of which was au-
thorized Sunday, President Roosevelt
commends Governor Durbin Of Indiana
for the attitude he assumed recently
respecting lynching. The president
also embraces the opportunity to ex-
press his own views in reference to
]ynching and mob violence generally.
pointing out that mob violence is mere
ly one form of anarchy, and that
anarchy is the forerunner of tyranny.
The president vigorously urges that
the penalty for crimes that induce a
resort to lynchiIg shah be applied
swiftly and surely, but by due process
of the courts, so that it may be demon
strated that the law is adequate to
deal with crime by freeing it from
every vestige OF technically and de-
lay"
After commencing Governor Durbin
for his course President Roosevelt
says:
"All honorable men must feel the
gravest alarm over the growth of
lynching in this country, especially
over the peculiarly hideous form so
often taken by mob violence when COL
0red men are the victims, on which
occasions the mob seems to lay most
weight not on the crime, but on the
color OF the criminal"
