DOMINICAN TREATY AAENDNENT.

The interesting disclosure is made that the
chief amendment proposed TO the pending Do,
xninican treaty is offered at the initiative and
earnest desire OF the Dominican government,
ana 1t is TO the effect that 4 request for Amerl-
can aid for the suppression Of disorder and full
6Inaent of treaty obligations, shall be made by
fhe Congress and not merely by the President of
santo Domingo. The idea seems TO be-and.
recalling some passages in West Indian and
Central and South American history. it may
not be altogether unfounded-that II such re-
quests might be made by the President alone
his power might be grossly abused, so as TO
keen himself In Office for life and to secure
the succession to his DESIGNATED heir. 1t is,
therefore thought best to require the assent of
fhe Congress to any appeal for Intervention, so
rs TO guard against Presidential autocraey-
There is sound sense in that, and the pro
s,osed amendment should more strongly COM
mend the treaty TO American favor 1t entirely
dfsposes OF the pretence, for which there was
never good ground. that the whole treaty was
e part of 6 conspiracy TO peFpefuate the power
of President Morales It gre3tiy lessons the
prospect of Americas being called upon 20 IN
tervene in Dominican affairs, and it gives the
hest nossIble assurance that any such call viii
be made only in good faith and upon actual
NECESSITY. We may regard the proposed amend
rnenf as an indication of material Improvement

tnestic administration, and Of a more sane and
safe distribution of powers II certainly ac-
cords with American constitutional principles

Of this countrys copsenting to be thus asked

MR. .LEROnE,S DuTY.

District Attorney Jerome will do well to take
to heart the severe but not unkindly admoni-
tions made to him by Mr.. Adrian Fl. Joline, In
his speech at the trust company presidents
dinner. Mr.. Joline voices feeling shared by
the great body of Mr.. Jeromes friends and ad-
mirers, who are as critical as he can be Of the
shortcomings of the courts and as ready as he
could wish to join with him in promoting
measures Of reform.
We do not go so far as Mr.. Jone, who says
that when a public officer of the law pro-
claims in words which are flashed by the cleo
'tric wire all over this country that with q
"few exceptions he has no confidence in our
Supreme Court and no respect for its judges,
"he deserves the censure and the disapproba-
"tion OF all sound thinking and conservative
men" We should qualify his statement and
say that the officer who did these things de-
served censure and disapprobation if he did
them recklessIy. On the other hand, if he has
definite facts on which to base his criticism
and is prepared to drive &he unworthy judges
from the bench he is entitled to great credit
for his courage in undertaking fight against
evil intrenched in power. 1t is of the great
est Importance that the bench should COM
mand public respect, especially that it should
command the respect of those, themselves little
accustomed to affairs, who in such numbers are
attracted to Mr.. Jerome and led by him to
form their opinions of our government and
Institutions He takes upon himself a grave
responsibility who disturbs that confidence in
the administration of justice. He can have no
excuse for doing it lightly or recklessly, but by
so much as the bench should command respect
when worthy it should when unworthy ali
the more certainly be exposed.
Therefore if Mr. Jerome will come forward
and specify who are the judges whom he con-
siders unworthy of respect and why he so con-
siders them he will do public service: but if
he is going to indulge in general attacks upon
the courts, undermine the influence of the
judges, without offering the slightest justifiea-
ton of his charges, and involve the innocent
as well as the guilty in a cloud of suspicion. he
fully merits the rebuke which Mr.. Joline ad-
ministers.

THE NEW JEWISH TIDE.

Jewish prosecutions in Russia have devoIved
upon the Hebrews of this city twofold bur
den. Their hereto efforts in raising relief funds
constitute only small part of the sacrifices
they are prepared to make. At the present
time they are doing ali in their power to feed
the starving and house the shelterless In the
near future, as told elsewhere in The Tribune
this morning, they will be called On to care for
the multitude of refugees who are already in
fight for this city-to find employment for
them, to minister to their sick an1, if need be-
to bury their dead
The history of the Jews of New-York City
shows that almost every great political up
heaval elsewhere in the world has been fol-
lowed by wave of Jewish immigration hither.
The first Jews In this city came because of
prosecutions IN Brazil resulting from the over
throw of the friendly Dutch in that country by
the Portuguese. The German Jews fret began
fiocking TO this city in great numbers in conse-
quence Of the political revolutions of Europe
in the middle Of the last century. And the tide
of Jewish immigration from Russia began to
set in as a result OF the restrictive May Laws of
1882 There are now 10000 Jews ia this city.
Yet all these causes for immigration appear
feeble when compared with the plaques Of the
sword and torch" which have smitten the race
Of Israel in the last few weeks.
AS a result of the May Laws OF Russia IN
1882 the Jewish immigration from that coun-
try TO the United States vas doubled ia the
following twelve months Should the present
outrages have no greater proportionate eonse-
quence we may expect in the next year nearly
100000 Russian Jews to land on these shores
cf whom about 10000 will settle IN New-York
City. Among the 1920 Jewish immigrants

Mckinney, Tex, July 3.-Farming

they do not pay all who engage

tor in proving that farming in Texas
does pay as business
There is an old way and a new
way. The new way is as unlike the
old way as the OK wagon Is unlike
the locomotive. The new way is the
way of increasing the quantity and
the quality of the staple products
without decreasing. but rather in
creasing, the fertility of the soil.
Nay, more, it is in the discovering
and developing of new staple pro-
ducts. To illustrate this fact plainly.

One Arrest Made.

One Arrest Made.
Albert Johnson. yellow negro
about % years old, now occupies a
cell In the county jail with the
charge of numbering J, Fl. Taylor
filed against him. Sheriff Minnick
feels quite confident that he has the
right man. and he and his force de-
serve much credit for the quick
work accomplished in this case. With
only a meager description of the
negro and a gray coat as a clew to
start on they began work on the
case early this morning, and between
IL and II O'Clock Johnson S arrest
was effected by Sheriff Minnick and
Deputy Forbes in the store of the
Durham Dry Goode Company where
he was making some purchases. He
was at once hurried TO the jail and
placed in the death cell on the sec
ond floor of the building.
Johnson came here a week ago
last Sunday from the indian Terri
troy and has been staying in Freed
man with relatives. A sister stated
to Sheriff Minnick this morning that
Johnson left home Sunday after
noon and did not return until late
yesterday evening. The gray coat
which was found in Mr.. Taylor's
buggy this morning, was identified
by the girl as belonging to her bro
ther. Ii has been learned that he
had about SGT with him late yester-
day afternoon, and he had previous
ly stated that he only had SIS when
he came here from the Indian Terri
tory Besides paying DR. Diggs and
Charley Miller ten dollar seach yes
terday evening the officers
have found where he made
"a number of purchases at
stores which will run the total up
to about $40 One or two parties
called at the jail this after
noon and identified Johnson as the
negro they saw in the buggy with
Taylor late yesterday afternoon
Some little excitement was Gre
ated in the city when the announce
ment was made that an arrest had
been made in the case. Several
threats Of lynebfug have been heard,
but as yet no demonstration of any
kind has been made. The prisoner
is confined in the most secure part
of the Jail and a mob would expert
ence considerable difficulty in TAX
ing him from the custody Of the
sheriff
