The Modern Dispersion.

The feeling Of American Jews concern
ing the present flood of Jewish immigra-
ton from Russia, Galicia, Roumania and
Hungary is indicated and discussed in
a very remarkable address delivered at
Cleveland by Mr. LEO N. LEVI at a con-
yention of one of the lodges of the B mai
Birth, of which order he is the president
The address is published in the Menorah
magazine for June.
Mr.. LEVI describes this immigration
as the Modern Dispe rsion,' and he
lkens it to the exodus from Egypt, to
the dispersion from Jerusalem by the
Romans, and to the expulsion from Spain
at the end Of the fifteenth century. He
looks on it as great historical crisis |"
in the history of his race. In the coun-
tries we have named the great majority
of the race is concentrated, and for about
twenty years past the flow thence has
been uninterrupted and it is now at its
flood. One-tenth of the Jews of the
world have fed to this country during
that period, and this influx now equals or
exceeds annually one-half per cent. Of
the whole number of the race, so that Mr..
LEVI has confidence that in this century
the majority of the worlds Jews will
have established their domicile here, or
certainly in the Western Hemisphere :"
Tn, migration recalls that from Spain
in the fifteenth century, except that while
Spain then contained only 1000 Jews
at the most, the countries from which
there is now so great an exodus contain
more than 5000 900 of them.
OF the attitude toward the Jews of
Russia and Roumania, Mr. LEVI speaks
with judicial restraint which is made
all the more remarkable by the violence
of many Christian utterances since the
Kishineff outrages:
1T may be conceded that the Car is not mon
ster. and that the Russians are not consciously UNI
Just 70 the Jews. The same may be conceded to
tho King OF Roumanis and his subjects. It may
further be conceded that the Jews In Russia and
Roumania are undesirable and even obnoxious
from q viewpoint which we do not occupy, and
which, II erroneous, Is nevertheless believed 10 be
correct.
Must We not concede as much 10 Pharaoh, to
Rome. TO Spain, Even as We know the past, such
concessions are demanded and let US not forget
that We know the past only from viewpoints va.
Rant from or opposite to those OF the Egyptians.
the Romans and the Spanisrds. They had their
sides In the argument. Just as Russia and Roumania
now have theirs"
The Jews are favorites only of GOD,
Mr.. LEVI acknowledges; their fellow
men, for one reason or another, or no
reason at all, refuse to indorse the decree
Of heaven which has singled out Israel
as a peculiar and chosen band" While

The victory of the Western racehorse
McChesney, in the Harlem National Handi-
cap again raises the question. Which is the
better four-year-old, McChesney or Her.
misp For the first Mr.. SMATHFas gave
sac, 900, and for the latter Mr.. THOMAS paid
$4,000; but money doesn't talk on the
track.
McChesney, with 1928 pounds on his bach,
was beaten in a one-mie handicap at the
Hawthorne track, on June O. having finished
third In his first important race this year.
the Montgomery Handicap, at one mile and
a sixteenth, at Memphis, on March 80, he
carried 1870 pounds and finished tenth; but In
the Harlem National Handicap, at one mile
and three-sxteenths, at Chicago, on Satur-
day, he won with l27 pounds on him.
In his first stert this year. on June 3.
Hermis carried 1873 pounds and finished
fifth in field Of seven, and yesterday,
after being entered in handicap at n mile
and half, to carry 1873 pounds, he was
withdrawn, the track beng heavy, SO
Hermis has another turn to show that his
rivalry with McChesney is as keen as ever.

4 Carnival OF Arrests.

Three hundred and thirty-nne resi-
dents Of New York, against whom no
criminal charge had been lodged, have
been taken into custody illegally by the
police during the last three weeks, and
forcibly restrained of their liberty. All
of them owe their humiliation to the fact
that the Police Department has set itself
above the law.
The 339 unfortunate citizens referred
to have not the comforting knowledge
that their names have been cleared Of
the shadow thus cast on them. Al
though they have been set at liberty,
they have not had trial or the pretence
of one. Sixty-two of them were dis
missed by Magistrate as an act Of
humanity Two hundred and seventy
seven of them were hustled out of court
without an opportunity to defend them
selves and without knowing more than
that police officer had said they were
disorderly persons
All OF these ex-prisoners were arrested
in what the police call raids on al
legged illegal resorts. There were two
of these raids. In the first the police
we're armed with warrants for the ar
rest of certain persons. They executed
these warrants, and performed their
duty. Then they arrested, without war
rant, sixty-two men, thus exceeding
their duty, and violating the provisions
of the Penal Code which define and
prohibit oppression. In the second
raid the conditions were exactly the
same. save that the number Of victims
was nearly five times as large as at the
first. There can be no question that
each victim of these police outrages is
entitled to redress, in the form of dam
ages collected through civil actions
against the police who took him into
custody. Neither is there any doubt
that the police are liable to prosecution
criminally for their illegal acts.
Much is said and printed about the
arbitrary acts of European police agents
in restraining citizens of their liberty.
Under different legal systems, varying
degrees of power are given to police
agents Under the American system
numerous safeguards are thrown about
the citizen to protect him from the po-
lice. In New York city these wise pro-
visions OF the law are set aside by the
authorities, and the result is that I'M
warranted arrests are common incidents.
Subordnates in the Police Department
cannot be excused on the ground Of
excessive zeal They draw their
inspiration from n Commissioner who
condemns the judiciary, assails the
Magistrates and scolds the law. 1t Is
to be hoped that the condition Of affairs
existing to-day will be brought before
the higher courts, that lesson may be
taught to Commissioner and Depart
ment which will not he forgotten.

Mother Eddy's Education.

From her sanctuary in Pleasant View,
Mother MARY BAKER GLOVER EDDY has
addressed to whom it concerns an
allocution and protest. Certain i'll
natured or uniformed persons took ad-
vantage of the Emerson centenary to
emit the theory that not Mother EDDY
but the Concord PLATO was the real
founder Of Christian Science. 1t is the
usual penalty Of greatness and origi-
nality to be accused Of plagiarism.
80 envious is the world and so given
to sneering at genius. Mr.. EMERSON
would have been the last man to
fitch laurel. His own indebtedness to
subtle Greek and Oriental PHILOSOPHERS
was great. Strictly speaking, there is
nothing new under the sun. The germs
Of the most pretentious modern scien-
tifio hypothesis, including the theory OF
evolution itself, may be found even
among savage peoples; and il Mother
EDDY'B science suggests in some sort the
old Indian doctrine Of illusion, we may
Be sure that she is unconscious Of what,
after all, is only fanciful and fortuitous
resemblance. Truth is truth, and cam
not be rediscovered too often.
Mother EDDY speaks plainly in her let
ter Of one P. P. QUIMBY Ian obscure, un-
educated man," whom scoffing infdels
have called the founder of her profitable
Science; profitable, Of course, as
the Scripture is profitable for doctrine
and godliness is profitable to all things.
1t was not necessary for Mother EDDY
to defend herself against the adherents
OF the Pretender QUIMBY. She Is in
undisturbed possession OF her throne
and adored and worshipped by her sub
jects, who are more than glad to give
her things needful No other female
founder of a sect, not JOANNA SOUTH
COLT. not KATHERINE TINdLEY, can be
compared with her in vigor, strength Of
will and the capacity to excite unques-
toning faith and obedience. The pros
perity Of her cult Is a sufficient proof
Of the acuteness of her intellect, and
her honors cannot be taken away BY
too enthusiastic Emersonians or jealous

Secretary Moody VIII Recommend the
Appointment OF Col. Geo. r. Elliott.

WASHINGTON, June s.-Secretary of the
Navy Moody will this week recommend
to the President that he appoint Col. George
F. Elliott to be gadier-General Com
mandant Of the Marine Corps, to succeed
Major-Gen. Charles Haywood. with whose
forthcoming retirement the higher title
passes from the active list Col. Elliott
has splendid record having served in
Cuba during the Spanish war and in the
Philippine darng the agnaldd0 y Ts ,be

popularity in the corps as Big Chief"
In selecting Col. Elliott, Secretary Moody
shows his disapproval of a proposed plan
to have several officers promoted TO the
turn in order to give them the benefit OF
the increased rank and pay on the retired
list, and also of the candidacy OF staff
officers for this line position.

A Greater Than Hanna or Quay.

There will not be much public interest
in the discussion of the question whether
the Hon. MARCUS ALoNzo HANNA or the
Hon. MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY would
prove the more trusty and efficient
person as chairman of the Republican
National Committee and chief engineer
Of the campaign next year.
This Is now mere problem Of COM
parative anatomy rather than question
of practical importance. QUAY has his
points of excellence, and HANNA has his.
Both are veterans. Both have under
taken large contracts in their time, and
carried the same to successful conclu-
sion. Each of them has his own methods
and his own accumulation OF experience
in handling the frying-pan. If the
choice we're limited to high-grade ex-
perts of the second class and the old
school, competition between HANNA
and QUAY would wake the snakes.
In the evolution of the art Of political
management, however, there has arisen
master to whom either QUAY or HANNA
might proftably 60 for instruction in the
higher branches. He has put them both
into the second class He is unquestion-
ably in the first class Of contempora-
neous American campaign managers,
and is there all by himself
The most astonishing thing about the
sudden rise of the Hon. THEODORE
ROOSEVELT to acknowledged supremacy
in practical politics is the circumstance
that only eighteen months ago he was
popularity supposed to be SO innocent and
untutored in this respect as to need
guardian. When he invited the Hon.
HENRY C. PAYNE Of Wisconsin to seat
in his Cabinet, everybody hailed that ap-
pointment as the filling of conspicuous
void in the establishment. Now the
Presidents political interests will be
taken care Of, people said /" He can
attend to the duties of his Office and
make occasional speeches with entire
tranquility. PAYNE is on deck. PAYNE
won't let him do anything foolish. The
Postmaster-General knows the game,
and he's there to play it.
In less than one year and one-half we
perceive an astounding spectacle-the
President running his own exalted office,
making occasional speeches at the rate
Of 2e3 in sixty-six days, running his po-
litical campaign for the nomination with
unprecedented energy and supreme con-
tempt for the academic rules of pro-
cedure, and in addition to all his other
occupations, actually turning around
to pound PAYNE into heartier perform
ance OF the special detail duties OF the
latter's Department!
What need of HANNA or QUAY, any
more than of a PAYNE? If the Hon.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT wins the Repub-
lican nomination for President in 1904, it
will have been his own personal achieve
ment. Whoever is nominally at the
head Of the campaign organization will
be there because Mr.. ROOSEVELT puts
him there. But in reality the sole man
ager OF the canvass for Mr.. RoosEvELT's
election will wear Mr.. RoosEvELTs hat,
precisely as the sole manager of the
preliminary canvass for nomination has
continuously worn Mr. RoosEYELT's
trousers.
Substantially the same thing may be
said in advance concerning the genesis
Of the platform on which Mr.. ROOSEVELT,
il nominated, will run.
