 One of the national ambitions of the time was to see fleet of steamships fly ing the Stars and Stripes on the Atlantic, and arrangements, 1t appears, had been completed between the government and E.

sooner or later the two festivals will be celebrated on the same day, pr. Hirsch calls attention to the shameful fact that even now, in some parts of Europe-par- ticularly in Russia-Chrlstma is day on which fanatical mobs are prone to at tack their Jewish neighbors. "The Jew cannot rejoice" he says, nor sing of goodwill, when he knows that the day of his joy has been and is the day of his helpless brothers trembling and anxi- ety and agony .sRIn this country the Jew rejoiees that the Christmas sentiment Ia speedily and beautifully progressing to- ward realization in action. And when he sees the lights leap into glory in his neighbors' homes he breathes for tha fer vent prayer for their happiness. He glad ly contributes his part to the happiness of his friends and such as share with him the hospitality of his domestic hearth, but

The Jews and the Christmas Spirit

From LeSlie's Weekly.
 So many Jews now observe Christmas Day to the extent of exchanging gifts that the remarks of Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago on what the Jew celebrates at the Christmas season have a peculiar interest. He points out the fact that Hanuhah, the Jewish feast of lights, oe- curing on the 25th day of the midwinter month of the Jewish calendar, has character of rejoicing that makes 1t akin to the Christian holiday It commemor- ates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians and the rededleation of the Temple. but it's observance has come to take the form in the main of a 'chil- drens festival, Christmas does, and Dr. Hirsch says the custom of decorating Christmas trees with candles was borrow ed from the Jewish usage in the celebra- tion of Hanukah.
 While asserting that "the Christmas sentiment of goodwill to me is eer- tainly an echo of the convictions and aspirations which the Jewish festival of lights emphasizes" and believing that

The copper specialists are talking most dolefully. They are viewing the future through the bluest of glasses. They are rather overdoing it, perhaps, but they are no longer open to the charge of wilfully deceiying themselves on the hopeful side.
 The mines are doing the best thing that could be done in reducing pro duction. With a fair resumption of industrial activity after the first of the year stocks in sight should be re- duced to a manageable amount by the end of six months.
 Senator Clark of Montana, the richest individual copper miner in the world, expresses the opinion that by the end of 1908 stocks should be reduced to about the right dimensions and that the metal will be on a price basis of about 16 cents, which he declares to be high enough,

Money continues to be the controlling factor in the Wall street section. Funds are slow in accommodating, the return flow rates for call money are kept abnormally high in the hope of this Is one of the times when the mag net does not seem to work right.
 The higher the banks mark up in terest the more distrustful the outside seems to get, the action being con strued seemingly as an indication that the New York bankers fear more trouble and are trying to fortlfy them selves against it with outside help. This being the view taken, interior money, instead of being forwarded to this center is held tigh ter than ever by the owners-a most embarrassing situation for the big money city.
 Of course this sort of thing will not last forever, and there will ere long be return to the normal Meantime banks everywhere are straightening their reserves and putting off as long as possible the day for an unrestricted return to cash payments. The fear among them Is widespread that the opening of the doors to a resumption of business along normal lines will be a signal for wholesale withdrawal of funds.
 They are keeping their hands on the pulse of public feeling and at the right time there will be a simultaneous re- sumption in the large communities. It may be that this hoped for day will not arrive until after the turn of the new year, now only two weeks distant.
