JEWS ARE HOPEFUL
OF BETTER THINGS
Hear of Prince Mlrsky's Public
Uttersnces In NINA
With Relief

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The public ut
terances by Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, the
new Russian minister of the interior at
vilna, Friday, of his hope to improve the
condition of the Russian people. and par
taculariy of his desire to afford to the
poorer classes of Jews in Russia larger
opportunities for life and work is regarded
by Jacob H. Schiff, or this CITY. as per-
maps the most important utterance made
py any man so high III authority in Rus
sla since the present reactionary regime
was lnaugurated in that country in 1881.
Mr.. Schiff is well informed as to the
restrictions imposed upon the poorer Jews
In Russia, and therefore competent to esti-
mate the probable value of Prince Mirsky's ;
utterances. Concerning the new minis
ter's interview, Mr.. Schiff said to the
Associated Press today:
Hopeful for Jews
The interview granted on Friday by
Prince Mirsky, the successor to Won
Piehve as Russian minister of the interior,
and who is about to assume his new office,
forms most remarkable utterance-per-
maps the most important made by any
man so high in authority in Russia since
the present reactionary regime was in
augurated upon the assassinatio of Alex
ander the Second in 1881. Prince Mirsky
has long been known as a man of high
character as well as of tolerant if not
liberal tendencies and both his appoint
ment to the most important and most in
Huential ministry in the Russian govern
ment as well as the public expression he
Just made of his ideas of what need be
sian people give promise that the long
period of reaction under which Russia and
her people have suffered is nearing an
end.
Declaration Important
The reference Prince Mirsky made to
the most serious problem of the situa-
ton and condition of the Jews in the en-
pre- is Of special and far-going interest.
Prince Mirsky at once recognizes that
the Imperial ukase by which concessions
have been madeJto certain classes of the
Russian Jewry gives only slight relief,
ma smuch as the concessions referred to
can benefit only the higher classes of
Jews, while nothing can be done for the
masses which need relief to far greater
extent than their wealthy coEeligionistS.
and 1T Is most encouraging that the new
minister of the interior points out at once
that relief to the masses of the Jewish
larger opportunities for life and work
instead of keeping them crowded together
In the pale where they must live as best
they can.
Promise OF Better Things
Promises of better things have so often
been made by Russian statesmen, and even
upon the authority of the car himself,
only to give room to disappointment that
the world has become skeptical of Russian
assurances. but the antecedents of Prince
Mirsky justify the expectations which
Jew and Christian alike will derive from
the public declarations he has just made.

taxation to build up the business and
property of the few at the expense of the
many.
This difference of principle still subsists,

CHRISTIAN INHUMANITY.

There is always one blot upon the
spring landscape, and that the poor,
starved horses and cattle which can
barely drag themselves around in their
search for bite of green grass, and
these miserable beasts, some having
to carry the burden of maternity in
connection with starvation, are to be
found in communities which brag of
their high order Of civilization, where
churches, schools and lecture courses
abound and which subscribe money to
send to heather lands for the regener-
alton of the barbarians. This cruelty
to dumb beasts finds some excuse,
though it is not entitled to it, on the
ranges of the west, where the cattle
barons take the chance of starvation
for their stock rather than provide
food and shelter for unusual storm
periods, but in the settled sections no
man should undertake to winter stock
which he cannot properly feed, and if
found with such brutally starved ami
mails in his possession should be dealt
with by the law.

GOLD AND GOOD TINES.

During the past eight years there
has been going on in this country
quietly and almost imperceptibly, but
none the less surely, a great economic
change touching the value of all labor
and commodities. The general level Of
prices has been permanently raised at
least % per cent as compared with nor
NAL prices of the previous decade. The
days Of six cent cotton, twenty cent
corn and oats, three cent beef and pork
and the dollar day labor are things of
the past. Coupled with this has been
lowering Of interest rates and marked
increase in the per capita money circu-
lation, these things all brought about
by the increasing production Of gold.
In other words. as money has become
plentiful the things which money will
buy have correspondingly increased in
value. This explains largely what we
term the good times" and the materi-
ally bettered condition of the people.
This supply of gold gives every pros
pect of increasing still more and more
owing to the improved methods of ex-
tracing the metal from low grade ores,
and the interesting question is raised
as to what effect it will have on future
prices of commodities and labor. We
recall the time when an inflated cur
rency put wheat up to $40 per bushel
and hogs to SIS per hundredweight,
but this is the first experience of the
country with gold imitation of the
currency of the country.

ABOUT ROSES.

Nearly everybody likes roses, but
few. very few, people are successful in
raising them. save a few of the very
hardest and poorest sorts. which live
in spite of want of proper care. There
is a type of rose, the hybrid perpetu-
al. which is hardy in our northern
climate when given proper winter pro-
tection--a rose which for fragrance and
beauty is hard to beat even in Cali
fornia. whose blooming season. with
proper pruning may be extended all
through the season and which is well
worth growing by all lovers of beauti-
full flowers We give the names OF a
few varieties: American Beauty. Vic
toria, Jacqueminot, Magma Charta,
Marshal Wilder. Anna de Diesbach,
Fisher Holmes and Mabel Nor
rison. We have made our own rose
beds as follows; We have a sandy
loan soil which is not the best for
the rose. being too loose. We have
mixed with this soil load of
clay and well rotted cow manure.
The bushes are pruned within ten
inches of the ground root when set
out, and by vigorous pruning during
the summer. frequent spraying with
the garden hose and sharp lookout
for slugs and aphis there will be roses
on the table from June to October.
While there are thousand other va.
rieties of roses, those above named are
reliable and satisfactory and give about
all the range of tint and color in the
longer list.

GARDEN LUXURIES.

There's lot of them when grown in
your own garden. There is the aspara-
gus bed, furnishing a constant supply
of one of the most delicate and deli
cious spring vegetables from the last
Of April till June. when the first peas
are ready to pick; there is the straw
berry bed, the lie plus ultra Of horticul-
ture, the most luscious and satisfying
reward for well directed effort that the
old world affords; there is the early
radish and lettuce, the new potatoes,
young beets, sweet corn and tomatoes,
all crisp and fresh from your own gar
den, and the best of ii is that while
one is engaged in raising these things
he acquires an appetite for them and
combines healthful toll with pure air
and a good appetite. And the funny
thing is that no end of people who
might have such a garden never have
one.
