Earthuuake Shocks.

a dispatch from Chicago says llli-
nois was shaken by an earthquake
Tuesday night OF last week. The
shocks in the southern part OF the
State, especially in the region sur
rounding East ST. Louis, were severe
enough to rattle dishes and furniture,
cause dogs to bark and children to
awaken and cry. Houses creaked and
in many instances their occupants
rushed out in terror, fearing that the
straining beams and joists would give
way. St. Louis reports three distinct
hooks.

"WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR"

Says the Newark eNws: why are
people poor?" was the question discussed
at recent meeting of Newark wom-
ems club. The answers were many and
wide apart. Here are few of them
boiled down: Drink; laziness; theaters
charge accounts; inability to plan far
ahead; the desire to outshine ones
neighbors; lavish display of goods by
storekeepers; indifference of men to the
needs of home; wonlan's ignorance of
domestic economy; high food prices and
buying in small quantities; the habit of
doing without necessities to squander
for luxuries; lack of a plain business
understanding between husband and
wife," -
In the abscract, with exceptions, the
answers as given may apply in general
sense, but, practically, people who are
poor can not afford the Indulgence of
theaters, entertainments, lavish displays,
etc. Fancy man whose earnings may
be, on an average, ten or fifteen dollars
weekly, and having a wife and several
children, "squandering his earnings for
luxuries,' or his wife and children in
dulging in "lavish display" ETC. There
is class who would ape the rich, but in
suit would be offered if it were init
mattel they are poor In comparative
sense the greatest majority have and
must ever be poor, simply because they
have not the capacity or the opportunity
of rising from the level of ordinary wage
earners. How can man, whose salary
is nominal, afford to buy food but in
small quantities.? He is lucky man
who can pay his rent, buy his groceries
and keep his family from want on a
small salary, when he must pay high
prices for almost everything needful to
meet their necessities. Take the poor
who earn a dollar or dollar and half
a day, working day. We have known
and do know instances where there pre-
walls the most anicable understanding
between husband and wife, who work
hand in hand, lovingly and lovefully, and
yet these are poor and must struggle
economically to make all ends meet, just
simply because their earning capacity is
just about sufficient to meet their neces-
sites and they can never become mil
lionaires. ~ >

THE JEWISH CONGRESS.

The Picayune March 22 says: The
great international Jewish Congress,
which is now in session in this city, rep
resents the intellect and the wealth OF
the Jewish people of the principal civil
lied countries, and is monument of the
development of the civilized world from
state of narrow prejudice which was
turned upon these people, not so much
more than century ago, to the broad
foundation of world citizenship and
brotherhood upon which they stand to-
day:
In every country the Jews stand
among the foremost in intelligence, learn
ing, art and art culture. They are among
the great educators, they are in the press,
they occupy important positions in gov
sernmental affairs and in business. The
organization in congress, assembled in
this city today, represents not only the
progress, intellectual and material wealth
of the Jewish people, but also their
.benevolence In early times the perse-
cution AMI poverty suffered by many Of
their people naturally impelled those
who were able to form institutions for
relief. This system has grown Until it
has become grand and vast instrunen-
tality whose charities and benefcence are
not confined to the people Of one faith
The Jewish order, whose great assem-
blage is held every FIVE years, is engaged
in the grand work OF uplifting and suc-
coring its people everywhere, and par,
tienlarly in the barbaroais countries
where they are still subjects OF persecu-
1ion, IS making monumental record

form, and these laws and ordinances
will doubtless be attacked upon consti-
| tutional grounds by the next person con-
victed of a minor offence and sentenced
to involuntary servitude. There can be
no doubt but that the trainers of this
amendment to the Constitution had in
view the purpose of making slavery inn
possible in the United States and they
probably never supposed that the meas
ure would interfere with the power of
States and lesser political subdivisions
to provide such penalty for the minor
civil misdemeanors:
In the North such penalties are per-
haps more common than is the case in
the South, but the sentiment in favor of
requiring persons convicted of misde-
meanors to pay in work for at least
some portion fthe expense to which
the people are put in conyicting them
has grown rapidly in public favor dur
ing recent years. The sentiment in favor
of good roads has done much to popu-
larize a scheme by which prisoners sem
fenced to terms in the county and par
ish jails will be put to work upon the
public roads. If Judge Speer's position
upon this question shall be maintained,
such convicts must be supported in the
jails at the public expense in the fu-
ture."
