NO CHRISTIAN NAMES EoR RUSSIAN JEWS.

WI EDIEVALISM in Russia has a striking exhibition in the
v edict promulgated by the Holy Synod of the Russian Greek
Church prohibiting Jews from adopting Christian first
names. In Russia church and state are one, although there is sup
posed to be religious liberty in the empire. And the Holy Synod
represents the authority of the emperor in affairs relating to re
ligion. All the atrocious persecution of the jews has proceeded
from this authority and all the massacres that have occurred are
it's results. But think of a nation, rated as one OF the great powers
of Europe, whose rulers are capable Of issuing such an edict! In
searching for a parallel we must find 1t in Russia itself. Peter the
Great issued an edict against the wearing of boards, but in that

TIA economy is TO be the Democratic watchword at the extraordi
IL nary session of Congress which begins next week. In the
frst place a brake is to be put on the House appropriations
committee, and economies will be effected in the House organiza.
ton. There will not be much opportunity at the extra session for
large economies. The new broom will do it's principal work at the
regular session following. But the desire to make a record for
economy may easily betray Congress into great blunders of policy,
such as that Of cutting off appropriations for the navy and for the
national defense. II the country is ever precipitated unprepared
aud at tremendous disadvantage into a war with a great power the
reason will be cheeseparing economy and the counsels of the senti
mentahsts who imagine that there is going to be a perpetual worlds
peace because Andrew Carnegie and other benevolent individuals
advocate il.

XIV Ew JERSEY will have fastened the time for the construction
AN of a ship canal by the federal government across the State
by pledging the gift of a right of way, conditional upon
canal construction. If the route to be taken by the canal shall be
definitely settled by the engineers the State should at once secure
options and gifts of land. BY promptness in doing so all the right
Of way may be secured at q cost much less than the authorized
appropriation. But more than that might be done. The canal will
have two terminals in New Jersey, and it would be Of great benefit
TO the State if the land on either side of the terminals should be
State property.

THE PROPOSED COURT HOUSE ANNEX.

1TTa HE county is now the owner Of the triangular plot bounded by
High street, Springfield avenue and Thirteenth avenue, on
which it is proposed to erect an annex to the Court House.
The peculiar shape of the tract makes construction a problem, but
there will be plenty of time to study it, as the work will be left to
the small board OF freeholders that will be elected next fall. The
annex, when built, will give a new and better aspect to the sur
roundings of the Court House and will also hasten the improvement
of the entire neighborhood.

NU7LEy ADOPTS THE SEWER CONTRACT.

oTTs He town of Nutley last night decided to enter into n contract
with the Passaic Sewerage Commission for participation in
the cost and benefits of the proposed trunk sewer. Nutley
is one Of the municipalities that have held off, and yet its future
prosperity depends upon the introduction of a modern sewerage
system. The construction of the trunk sewer will increase prop
erty valuations in the town at least 80 per cent. within five years
after the signing OF the contract. 1t is to the credit Of Benevile
that it had the foresight to grasp at once the great local advan-
taQes OF q trunk sewer.

ions This boy would call ON John al
most every night and talk to him
about the great future they both
would have in the West, where push
and energy were recognized. John be
gan to dream of Western life. He
seemed TO lose interest i'm his work
and got piles of books dealing with
