Instructions have been received by

t re number of pieces of mail matter
distributed and collected on their re-
sqective routes. This, it is sup

continuance. 1t is understood that
should any of them fail to handle the
minimum amount of mail matter per
month-suppOsed to be about 1900

The ''H0ly" Russian Church
and Its Bogus Circulars

The Berlin Tagcblatt has just sue
ceeded in getting hold Of one Of the in
genious pamphlets issued by clergy Of
the Russian Church, hundreds Of thou
sands Of copies Of which have been cir
culated among the troops and the popu-
lace generally, thanks to the fanatical
zeal Of the ''True Men Of Russia and
the "Black Hundred.'' The document
begins with a spurious ''secret address
Of the chief rabbi to the Jewish people
''in regard to their general program Of
life" From it we take the following
extracts:
"For nineteen hundred years we have
been fighting the cross, and our people
have not been defeated nor have they
sunk to earth; if they have scattered all
over the earth it is because the whole
earth must belong to them. Their power
grows with every day; we now have that
God in our power whom our Aaron
created in the desert, who is the real
God Of our day. Not, however, until we
are the real masters Of all the gold in

The appointment of Mr.. Straus, an
American Jew. to cabinet position, is
unparalleled in the history OF the
United States, though Jews have held
office and have been of great service to
tie United States government in an Of
fetal capacity in the past. A consider
able number Of Jews have held diplo-
matte posts, among the more prominent
being Mordecai NJ. Noah, consul to
Tunis, 1S13-16 Edwin de Leon, consul
general to Egypt, 1854; Solomon
Hirsch, minister to Turkey, 19S9-92;
Benjamin F. PeiXotto consul to Buch-
Arrest, 1S7O-76; Simon Wolf, consul-gen-
eral to Egypt, 1881; Max Judd, consul
general to Vienna, 1S93-97, and Lewis
Einstein, third secretary of the embassy
at Paris, 1908, and London, 1905.
Though five Jews have been elected to
the Senate David IT, Yulee, 1S45-61;
Judah p. Benjamin, 1S52-61; Benjamin
F. Jonas, 1S79-85; Joseph Simon, 1897
1908, and Isidor Rayner, 19O5) it is a
noteworthy fact that none of these has
ever held position of leadership in
the Jewish community, and their selec-
ton has been made irrespective Of any
sources. Nor has any, with the excep-
ton Of Judah P. Benjamin, obtained a
position Of leadership among his col
leagues in the Senate. Benjam s ser
vices to the Confederacy as secretary of
state after his resignation from the Sen
ate, and his subsequent career in Eng
land, stamped him as the foremost Jew

power we seek. The nations of the earth
must be plunged into debt. e. That is
our programme When the property Of
land owners has come into our posses
sion, the labor of the Christian workmen
will become for us never ending
source of wealth. We must work zeal
ously to weaken the influence of the
Christian Church, our most dangerous
enemy-we must degrade its priesthood.
Next to the gold, the press is our most
important objective; we must in all ma
tons be at the head Of the newspapers.
We must . . fire the masses to revolu-
ton, in order that they may destroy
themselves.
The authors of the pamphlet add an
appeal to all orthodox Christians, in
which they assert that all the gold and
the business of the country are in the
hands of the Jews, to whom alone is to
be attributed the present disorder
among the Russian people, with the de-
mand for a constitutional assembly ''ln
place of the Czar's splendid govern
ment, in order that the Jews may rule

HystericaI Reports From the Great Copper Mines Gave Lurtd

Bisbee. Ariz.-Tronble at the great copper mines at Cananea, state Of So nora. Mexico, between American and Mexican miners, resulted in serious loss of life.
 The Mexican miners demanded an increase of wages, and the manager of the mines, Col. "Bill' Greene. made a speech. which was not satisfactory, and the Mexicans started rloting.
 They attacked the Amerlcan miners. taking them unawares. But more Mex jeans died than Americans. When the news was received here, armed men gathered at the border. and were ad- mitted into Mexico by Gov. Isabel of Sonora. They hurried to the scene of trouble. and with the Mexican Turales (troOps) restored order.
 The American consul at Cananea appealed to Washington for assistance, and Washington intimated to the Mex ican government to protect Ameri- cans. Hysterical reports by core snondents. and the rush of tenderfeet to get away from the scene Of trouble. lent a vivid color to affairs for awhile
 The summary shows that during the two days fighting thirty-six Meyicans were killed and only six Americans.
