COMPENSATION"
4 Boston Transcript.

Emerson had had his desires to write
upon compensation confirmed by the
hearing Of a sermon in church. The
preacher was a man esteemed for his
orthodoxy and he assumed that judg-
ment is not executed in this world, that
the wicked are successful, that the good
are miserable; and then he urged from
reason and from scripture that COM
pensation would be made to both parties
in the next life. Emerson was astonished
that the congregation took no offence at
this doctrine, which he believed to be as
offensive and as wicked as the clergyman
would have held his critical hearer to be-.
What was the import of this teach1ng?"
says Emerson. what did the preacher
mean by saying that the good are miser-
able in the present life? Was it that
houses and lands, offices, wine, horses,
dress, luxury, are had by unprincipled
men, whilst the saints are poor and de-
made to these last hereafter, by giving
them the like qualifications another day
bank stock and doubloons, venison and
champagne? This must be the compen-
sation intended; for what else? Is it that
they are to have leave to- pray and
praise? to love and serve men? Why
that they can do now. The legitimate in
ference the disciple would draw was

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Never Said 1t.

To the Editor of The Journal
l. Having been 'tcalled down" by several
newspapers for what did not say regard
ing the comparative morality Of Christians
and Mohammedans, let me correct the
editors before they wade any deeper In
my gore. In your editorial you charge me
with responsibility of the following:
t"If the truth wer known, husbands of
New York and Chicago, and all our large
cities, indulge secretly not only IN plural
wives, but. in thrice the wives Of these So
called degraded peoples. The Mohamme-
dan Is true to his plural wives, yet many
Of our men are untrue to thrice the Mo-
hamm edan's number
The notes Of the official stenographer
show that what was actually said was
this:
: II believe the number of prostitutes in
Chicago and New York would outnumber
three to one the. Mohammedan polygamus
wives
Not one word about husbands or about
the wealthy classes The quotation which
YOU credit to me is the Pigment OF the
reportorial brain, and the editorial indig-
nation is founded upon something never
uttered. The remarks which I did make
were made in the discussion of a medica.

MANY JEWS IN JERUSALEM
New York Evening Post.

/. New York Evening Post
The population Of Jerusalem. to-day. is
should suppose. double what 1t was
twelve years ago, the increase being at
tributed entirely or almost entirely to the
influx Of Jews, by far the greater part Of
whom come from Russia. 1t is somewhat
difficult to ascertain exactly what the pop
ulation Of the city or how large a part OF
it is Jewish. One Of the best informed and
most reliable Jewish citizens told me in
conversation that there were probably
fewer than 10000 Jews and that the com
mon estimate of 5O,000$ or 10000 was exag-
gerated, but I found later that his owr
printed figures in an almanac which he
published reckoned the Jews of Jerusalem
at 56,000 The best informed outsiders
claim that there are at least IL 200 Jewish
families in the city, which would support
the larger estimate. If this figure be
correct then the Jews of Jerusalem are
more than twice as numerous as all the
other inhabitants.

DOGS SMELL DEATH

There's an old superstition that q, howl
ing dog In front Of a house OF an Ill per-
son portends death. One prominent ply
stefan believes absolutely in 1t. The ply
stefan has a wonderfully acute sense Of
smell. Frequently, he says. he can fore
tell the coming Of death within twenty
four hours of the patients demise. With
in two days Of death, he says, a peculiar
earthly odor becomes noticeable about a
person about to die. lie tells OF one case
where he became aware Of the peculiar
odor while talking to an apparently
healthy man. That night the man dropped
dead Of heart disease. The physician is
far from attributing the peculiar nantes
tation to other than physiological reasons
His own sense Of smell is abnormally

ST. Paul teachers maintain that their
salaries should not be graded according
to the size of the children they teach.
The claim appears to be q just one, yet
there is a tendency to assign a lower
salary to the teachers Of tots than. to the
teachers Of big boys and girls. In Min
neapolis, we believe, no distinctions are
made as to salaries in the different grades,
below the high school, except that the
maximum salary in eighth and mixed sew
enth and eighth grades and entering
rooms is made somewhat higher than fol
the other grades.

Speculation in Canada.

Close observers Of Canadian progress
and development predicted some time ago
that in entering upon a new economic
era of expansion and activity Canada
would largely follow in the footsteps of
the United States. It was foreseen that
In shaking off the extreme conservatism
and slowness Of former times and taking
on American hustle and rush, the Cana
dams could hardly hope to escape some
of the unpleasant concomitants. One of
these Is the stock market panic, and an
other is a succession Of good and bad
times. In recent years, Canadian capital
lists, inspired by the rapid material de-
velopment of their country, have begun to
exhibit a decided fondness for speculation.
Toronto and Montreal, more especially the
former, have been the centers Of the Ca
madam speculative fever. The favorite
stocks have been Canadian railways and
industrials and American railways and
street railways in which much Canadian
capital is invested. The latter include the
$780," the Duluth South Shore & At
lantic and the Twin City Rapid Transit
company ~ Sis $3.50 fse
One Of the favorite stocks has been the
Dominion Iron and Steel cornpany,7 to
whose works Mr.. Carnegie referred when
he declared that Cape Breton was myth.
This stock has lately gone crashing down
and down. A week ago it caused a panic
in Montreal and hundreds Of persons " ere
| ruined, and yesterday it's fall, together
| with that Of other stocks that sympathet-
| ically Joined it in the descent, wrecked

perhaps the leading brokers of Canada.
There seems to have been no real cause

minion Coal company; to what degree
the loss of confidence in them is
justified remains to be seen. The Boston
syndicate that built up those companies
unloaded on the Canadians at fancy
prices, and it is alleged that one reason
out that the enterprise was not SO good

themselves on their freedom from pan.

Judging from the hot competition for
the city hall and courthouse bonds, taken
yesterday by Dominick & Doninick Of
New. York, at a premium of 1oe.3o5, the
bond market is improving. The s25o.OOo
worth of bonds disposed of were, it is
true, 4 per cent, but the high premium
at which they were taken reduces the in
terest charge to less than $3.50 per cent.
AS some Of these bonds were for fourteen
years and none longer than thirty-three

manent investors as thirty-year 31s pei

Rogers is still Of the opinion that there

Good Work in Chicago.

Chicago continues to justify it's reputa-
tion as a big city in which clean govern
ment is popular. The Chicago voter really
seems to think Moreover, he takes enough
interest in municipal politics to vote after
he thinks. In the judicial elections Mon
day, Boss Lorimer and his pet candidate,
Judge Elbridge Hanecy. went down to a
ell-deserved defeat. More than that, only
three of the candidates on the republican
ticket for judicial places were able to sur
Nivo the handicap of being on Lorimer's
list and these pulled thru because Of GER
tain elements Of personal strength and the
approval they received from Lorimer' s
snemies Notwithstanding the fact that
they were on his ticket. Out Of fourteen
circuit judges. the republicans elected but
twelve. Each party elected one Of the
superior Judges. &
Altho the candidates for the judicial
offices had their names on the partizan
tickets, it was in only one sense a party
contest that brought defeat to SO many
republicans. It was really a fight against
an objectionable political boss and his ma
chine. The Chicago Tribune and the Chi
cago Record-Herald both opposed most of
the republican, or. rather, Lorimer nomi-
nees. It was not merely a fight against
Boss Lorimer, but for a strong and decent
Judiciary.
The long and hard work that has been
done in Chicago to convince the voters
that local politics is public business is
bearing good fruit. It is almost certain
now that when any municipal government
proposition Is plainly put before the voters
Of Chicago, they will decide Alright. Chi
cago has a population that Is largely for
eign in origin. When such results car
be accomplished with such material, it Is
time to give up the idea that the republic
is in any great danger from it's new citi
zens. The contrast between Chicago, will
dts immense foreign born population, and
Philadelphia, with it's great preponder
ance of American born, is startling.

The damage wrought by the floods in
Kansas and Missouri are SO appalling that
the footing up of estimates of loss has
forced Topeka and Kansas City to recede
from their first declarations that they re-
quired no outside help. They are a hust-
lir 3, Independent sort of people down
there, and it may be taken for granted
that if they have receded from their po-
sition of proud independence it is because
the need Of immediate assistance Is great
err than they can meet themselves. Pro-
visions and clothing are needed for those
who have lost their property, their crops
and their means of support. Their more
fortunate neighbors will doubtless do their
full share in taking care of them, but in
the United States the loss and hardships
Of one community are in varying degrees
the loss and hardships Of the entire ma.
ton, and assistance should be equally ex.
tensive.

1t is hardly possible that Congressman
Tawney was correctly quoted when he said
that the international joint high commits
sion had expired by limitation, and hence
talk about its reassembling was all bosh.
This will be news to Senator Fairbanks
and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who have been
corresponding with a view to resuming
negotiations, and to Secretary Hay and
President Roosevelt, who have approved
of the effort to get another session of the
commission. If Mr.. Tawney spoke as
quoted, his personal opposition to the
reciprocity policy as a. whole, rather than
any familiarity with, the situation, was
voiced. Mr.. Tawney Is a believer in max
imum and minimum tariffs. At any rate,
the joint high commission is in existence
until discharged, there being no time
limit. Congress simply failed to make a
special appropriation for the expenses of
the American members.

The st. Paul school teachers are getting
at one Of the real evils Of industrial in
struction In the public schools. The evils
Of such instruction are not in the work
itself, but in dts manner of introduction
and direction. Perceiving the great bene-
fits to be derived from Industrial instruc-
ton and realizing their lack Of means.
school boards have been inclined to have
the regular grade teachers give instruc-
ton in the Industrial work. This leads
to over-worked and often vexed teach
ers, and generally to poor teaching, for
not all teachers can be expected to be i'll
terested or proficient in instruction that is
thus forced upon them Some Of the simpler
forms Of Industrial instruction probably
cannot be left to specialists; but when
schools so in for 1t on a. large scale, as
little of the special work as possible should
be put on the shoulders of the regular
teachers. The policy Of overlooking the
teachers is bad all around, whether the
superfuous load be from industrial in
struction or something else.
