TX. -c:t=4yoa '-"..,H Wall s.."-
B2nks Government 5 Money.
Sims Will Inquire.

Washington. Oct. 30.-A resolution
inquiring BY what. authority Secreta-
~ Of the Treasury Cortelyou went to
the aid Of the New York banks with
the government money and whether
it is advisable that suca policy be
pursued in the future, will be intro
4luced in the house Of representatives
'oy Representative Thetus W. Sims, Of
Tennessee, as soon as congress con-
yenes.
Mr.. Sims is one Of the southerners
upon whom Mr.. Cortelyou's relief OF
Wall street has made an unfavorable
impression. He cannot see that there
is any authority for lending the banks
che governments money in the man
ner employed by Mr.. Corte!you.
He also expresses himself as dis
approving of the banks being able to
get this money and then lending 1t
out at such an enormous rate as is
now the rule in New York.
Another thing that the congressman
suggests in this connection is the fol-
lowing question:
:EWhat viii happen when all that
money is withdrawn into the treas
ury? Will not this same crisis that
was relieved by the money be again
precipitated? Or are we to conclude
that il order to avoid a repetition
Of the crisis this money is put out to
the banks indefinitely
"And, if the loans Of deposits are
indefinite, is such a line of action the
advisable and the legitimate one?".
Southern statesmen are prone to
question Mr.. Cortelyou's methods, as
was shown recently when Representa-
tive Burleson, Of Texas, argued to the
treasury officials that the southern
cotton industry could be helped with
the same ease with which the Wall
street banks had been tided over their
difficulties.

time when the knowledge Of a fact
like this would create apprehension,
of some vague kind, like that Of a
Catholic conquest Of our government
and institutions, forty years ago; but
that time has passed and is never to
be again.
The presence Of the Jew in this
country has been Of benefit to the
American people. The history Of the
Jew in America shows what may be
done by an ambitious race under a
free government. The advantages of
that government cannot morally, even
if they can legally, be denied to any
race of equal qualifications.

How the Jew Has Made Good.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The Jew, VINO had not fair chance
in the old world; has made good. He
has proven himself Industrious, pro-
gressive, eager for education, eaps lie
Of sharing with others the political
responsibilities of the republic. His
attitude toward the Christian IS tol-
Grant here whereas in the times wnen
and the countries where his origin
aroused unceasing enmity, it is no
wonder that he regarded his persecu-
tors with dread and hate. By the
same token, the attitude of the Chris
tan as a religionist toward the Jew
is far broader than it was before
That Christianity was a later growth
of judaism that its founder and first
apostles were Jews, that the ethics
of the two religions are the same IN
substance are facts that Christians
accept today without question.
Race narrowness that refuses to
recognize these facts is mere to be
looked for only among those ineapa-
bic of opinions; the East Side rowd-
les to whom Jew. batting is still a
SPORT, indeed, thej commercial and
political Importance, which the Jew
has achieved by sheer numbers ought
to secure for him an immunity from
the abuse and insult that has been
so plentifully deal o him in the old
world, and that are still his lot IN
Russia. There are today in this one
city 100000 Jews, by moderate es-
innate and the probability is tltat
this will increase to round million
bv the end Of the decade. Rabbi
Eichler, in his pape9,in "Govern-
\ment" on "Tae Jews in America y
says that the number of synagogues
opened in various parts Of the coun-
trv will average nearly one a week
ard among his people there IS not a
single able bodied pauper.
So far as is known the first Jews
landed in New York in 1854. They
had been turned away from Bradli
and sought refuge in New Armster-
dam, but old Peter Stuyvesant was
nearly as hard as his people beyond
the water; some Of the flint Of which
MS head was made had been taken
into his heart. The Jews were I'M
prisoned because they could not pay
their passage money, and all their
goods were appropriated; but Stuy,
vesant was overruled in his wish to
exclude them from the colony, and
thew were admitted from that time
forward, on the assurance that their
power would never become public
charge.
Rather different it is today when
we find members Of the Hebrew race
in places of authority and conse
ouence all over the land. We find them

Willing 10 Widen Locks

WaShingt on, Dec. 1S.-" The engineers of the Panama canal commission are perfectly willing that the locks should be widened D any extent that the navy thinks necessary. We shall in measure leave it to the navy to settle the question, thereby making it a matter of naval expediency as to how wide the locks shall be-"
 This will be the attitude which the Panama canal commission will take on the proposition which has been referred to the mem bers for widening of the locks of the canal to no or 12O feet, as may seem best, according to the statement made by Col. George w. Geothals, the chairman of the commission. Col Geothals says that, so far as is known at pres ent, width of 100 feet locks will accommodate mercantile shipp- ing for years to come, and that 100 feet is ample for all naval con- struction now building or propos. ed.

Mr. Cox is a fine believer in the future of the Pike county diamond fields and says more than 200 valuable stones have been found up there. He further states that the properties are guarded night and day, and that one man on whose place a valua- ble stone was recently found, re- fused $1O,000 for a 4O-acre tract only a few days since. MT. Cox was slow to believe that real diamonds were being found there but a personal investigation has convinced him that the field has a future.

Ants on 0Horseback.0

A French traveller has discovered a
new species of ant in Siam, or at least
new trait that he has never before
seen recorded. The creatures were
very small, of gray color and lived
in damp places. They Travelled often
and in troops which seemed to be
under the direction of a commander
who rode on horseback.
nj. Meissen, the Frenchman who no
ticed this popularity, was attracted to
these groups by discovering that each
company contained a large ant that
travelled more rapidly than the others.
Observing them more closely, he not
ed that each large ant always carried
a small gray ant upon its back, though
the remainder Of the troop were on
foot. This mounted ant would ride
out from the line, travel swiftly along
the column from head to rear, and
apparently overlook their manoeuvres.
NJ Meissen concluded from what he
saw that this species of ant while on
its travels is under the direction of
commander, though such "ant-horses''
as the general rides must be rare and
valuable, for he scarcely ever found
more than one mounted ant in a col

Old Time "curI Up" Skates.

Few of the present generation OF
skaters ever saw a pair of old-tash-
toned curl up" skates or know what
they are, but if they are native born
their parents or grandparents can
probably tell them all about these old
time appliances for skimming over the
ice The boys and girls of today have
quick fastening, light and handsome
skates, and in many cases keep them
attached to shoes that are used only
for skating and are put on at the pond
side
In the old days straps for the "curl
ups" were unknown. leather thongs
or stout strings being used with a
sort of harness" to keep the skates
on the feet The term curl up comes
from the manner in which the for
ward end of the skate irons were
curled, extending over the toe of the
foot. Doubtless many Of the old folks
can remember when the cheapest
skates consisted only of a wood bot
tom for the foot and a strip of metal
for an ice surface. These were cheap"
