Many observers have noted the
 large number of Jews in the colleges
 and professional schools in America,
 and have prophesied that in time a
 large proportion of the members of
 the learned professions will be men
 of Jewish descent, says on exchange.
 Sometimes they have talked about
 the superiority of the Jewish intel
 lect. One of the most noted Jews in
 America has lately denied that the
 men of his race are superior to the
 men of other races. He says that
 every one desires the things that are
 withheld, and that the way to make
 the family live is to confront it with
 hardships and prosecutions. The hardships develop the powers and the withholding of opportunity makes opportunity highly prized. The de- velopment of the Jews in America proves the truth of these generaliza- tions. The race has suffered perse- cution and is hardy. It has not en- joyed freedom of opportunity in the old world. When it comes here it rushes for the free schools, the law and the medical books, as thirsty animal plunges into stream and revels in the cooling waters. One does not need to look to the Jew alone for proof that early denial of makes it prized, remarks the Youths Companion. It is the country boy, spending his youth where the field is limited, and dream ing of wider worlds to conquer, who rises to the top in the city. The city is to him not a place for amusement, but place for work; and he concen- trates his mind on his business when he secures employment in town. while his city-bred competitor too often dissipates his energies by the that are at hand for the of the indifferent as we'll as for the relaxation of the indus tries. The surest way to make boy prize things is to deny them to him until he has earned them. Circum- stances train men by denying to them various privileges till they wrest them from an unwilling fate.

 As a majority of the people have decided they are satisfied with the tariff that protects the trusts. the balance of us will have to be satis- fed for the next three years with the greatly increased cost of living.

STANDARD OIL TRUST.
Opinions Differ as to Whether Couu-
 try Would Benefit by Dissolution.

try Would Benefit by Dissolution.
 Washington, Nov 23.-"Would the
 dissolution of the Standard Oil trust,
 as petitioned for by the government,
 be of immediate or prospective bene- fit to the country?" was the question
 asked one of the highest authorities Of the department of justice by Star reporter.
 T cannot say that there would be
 immediate effect" was his answer, "or that the price of oil would be any the less to consumers through out the country; or even that the |stifiing of competition would be stopped in quick time, but I frankly believe that a decision dissolving the great trust would be of incalculab;e benefit in the future, not only for the prevention 1t would be in like combinations in the hereafter, but for the good it would do against the greatest of modern combinations. Yes, so far as outward appearances go, the decision in the famous North ern Securities case, in which James J. Hill tried to combine the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burling- ton roads, does not seem to have amounted to much, as the three roads are probably operating under some private understanding which pre- vents competition. Neither did the investigation and legal action against the beef trust appear to have had any effect in reducing the price of meats, as many of them have gone higher in prices since then.
 There are just three forms of con- spiracy in restraint of trade that have been discovered by the depart ment of justice. The first and sim plest is where any given number of persons or firms enter into verbal agreement to maintain prices and to divide the territory among them. The second is called the trust agreement. where any given number enter into an agreement in writing and appoint trustees to conduct the combines business. The third is the form talk en by the Standard oil company of New Jersey. This is where the stock of the various competing companies -lu tulS pTescuC Cde0 IucIc dIc ecN- enty of them-is held by the central which shuts down competi- tion. stiles opposition wherever pos sible, and regulates the prices as 1t sees 1t.
 "Of the three forms of trust 1t is most difficult to prove the existence of the first, as there is nothing in writing, no holding of stock, but this form is not acceptable to many of those going into combination. Sooner or later some one in the com bination seeks an advantage over the other, secretly invades another's ter ritory, or reduces prices to get busi- ness Then the members fall out and begin to, cut prices. This is when the public gets some benefits.
 "The second form of combination that of trustees-is not considered safe from the clutches of the law as the third, as its existence can easily be proven by the trust agreement and the existence of trustees. It is clearly illegal.

Bodies of the pauper dead in the District of Columbia are not to be buried in the potter's field, but are to be cremated, for congress has ap- propriated $15,000 for building a suitable crematory. Objection to cre- nation Is heard less frequently than it was generation ago, possibly be- cause the people have begun to un- derstand that incineration is only a quickening of the natural process that goes on in the ground.
