ECRETARY HAY'’S identical note to the sig- IS natories of the Berlin treaty: was timely and | opens a question that Europe must consider and decide. ‘Two of the sigtatories, Austria and Rus- sia, refuse to consider the matter at all. England adopts the Secretary’s view. France will probably follow Russia, an® Germany has not yet indicated her attitude. When taken it will probably be found in accord with that of England, not through any de- sire to stand with that Government, but because Germany is not unmindful of the reasonable wishes of the United States. 3 Heretofcre the consequences of Roumanian bar- barism, directed against the Jews, have fallen upon the United States. Such as could escape and find their way here have come, in search of an asylum. Some of the Continental press pretended to see other than the avowed motive in Mr. Hay’s note. The anti- Semite papers treated it as evidence that this country | had joined their crusade against the Jews, and hailed it as evidence that all the Christian about to make that people outcast, wandering Jews, to fellow the mythical Ahasuerus up and down the world, through ages to come. Of course this was only the fantastic expression of a wish that is fathered by sodden prejudice. The fact that these poor people, degraded and inhuman- ized by cppression and tyranny, are Jews has noth- ing to do with the position of this country, while the fact that they are Jews has all to do with their con- dition and with the brutal policy of Roumania. Were there a new Jewry in the world, a nation con- trolled by that remarkable race, which treated its Christian people as the Roumanian Jews are treated, this country under similar circumstances would hold the same position. In Roumania there are about 500,000 Jews. When they passed through Europe to come here the na- tions across which they took transit were but little concerned about them. Now, however, there is a prospect that the issue is about to be brought home to Europe. The hard hoof with which they are rid- den in Bulgaria is expelling the class that cannot take transit across Europe. They turn pitifully toward the land where human rights are respected, and, leaving Roumania and their heartless perse- cutors, go a little way from their tormentors and stop, starving, maked and forlorn. | Their most direct road takes them through Swit- zerland, and the forlorn jettison is accumulating | there in such volume as to alarm the officers of the federation. They cannot be received by Switzer- land. She has no room. They can go no farther, for | they have no means. Among them are starved mothers with entirely naked babies in their arms. | Ragged, tattered and starved, these victims of gov: | ernmental scoundrelism are filling all the Swiss sta- | tions with the saddest examples of humanity that Lave been seen since the expulsion of the Jews by | Spain. | Holy Russia looks on, indifferent. Pious Austria i nations were is unmoved. The Holy Synod of the Czar has been | so choicely mindful of the sacredness of orthodoxy ! that it has excommunicated Tolstoy, the apostle of the poor, and has cast him into outer darkness, con- | demned tc burial with the dogs, unshriven. It was a | showy testimony to Russian devotion to an idca that lis supposed to be Christian, and Russian orthodoxy ‘huggcd itself when this great act was accomplished. | How hollew it all seems, when Russia smites her own | Jews and even refuses to enforce a solemn treaty upon !her vassal state, Roumania, to protect the most for- | lorn and helpless of God's poor! | Franz Josef of Austiia cuts no better figure. smitten in his own household, the victim of sorrows and of tragedies that should soften men, he sits in- different in his capital while human beings are crushed by his barbarous neighbor, knowing that by a word he could save them, and that word his duty | to speak as a signatory of the treaty that is being | violated. Let us hope that the half-million of Jews in Rou- mania will pour upon Western Europe, clog the high- ways, carry with them the abject picture of sorrow and woe, take along the pestilence that breeds in the famine forced upon them by persecution, and then let us see what Christian Europe will do about it. It is a land studded with luxurious cathedrals, where Christianity of all creeds is manifest elaborate ritual and pageant. Let us see if Christianity is any- thing more than profession and lip service. The | wounded stranger lies in the road, and the priest and the Levite pass by on the other side. Is there in all Continental Europe a good Samaritan among the nations? in . | Now that the receipts of the Postoffice Department | are about equal to the expenses, there is a renewed agitation for 1-cent letter postage and a parcels post. They are bound to come in the long run, for the peo- ple need them. A CLEAN CAMPAIGN,. HAIRMAN GRIGGS of the Democratic ‘ Congressional Campaign Committee may or may not be a blunderer in the field of eco- nomics, but he certainly scored a good point in the field of politics when he promptly denounced as false a statement that the Democrats had designed to make a personal attack upon Speaker Henderson had that gentleman remained in the race for Con- gress. Mr. Griggs was manly enough to send his denun- ciation of the story directly to Mr. Henderson, and so promptly that it was received before the swiftly flying slander had itself reached the Speaker. After repudiating the story Mr. Griggs added: “I am very sure you would not care about the same, and send this message merely in the interests of truth.” That there are many men and some newspapers in this country that would like to make a campaign of | personal abuse of their opponents is indisputable. Some people are so constituted that they like slan- der for its own sake even though they know its ut- terance can profit them nothing. Such persons would be glad to rake up ugly stories, base suspicions and all the rumors set going by spiteful or silly people and publish them in the papers and shout them from the stump as arguments against this or that candi- date. The great mass of the American people, how- ever, -have no respect for that class of political scan- dal mongers,:and would like to see them' eliminated from politics altogéther. It is gratifying, therefore, to find at the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee a gentleman of the right school, one who will neither resort himself to slander to injure an opponent nor sanction it from another. The issues of this campaign are sufficiently grave | to eliminate personalities from the canvass. It is | true that no issue can be so great as to render men indifferent to the private character of the man who solicits their votes. No man is fit for any office who . Ais not honest, brave and independent. No rascal, no j old war cloud to frighten Europe again, Ol4, | !sycophant and no degenerate is worthy to repre- sent any American community or administer any American official function. All that goes without saying. Still the American people can judge charac- ter without having the assistance of habitual malign- ers of men, the fellows who are always ready to at- tribute every action of their fellow men to a mean motive. Straight politics and a clean campaign is what the people wish, and what they will have. In this State the courteous interchange of letters between the two candidates for Governor assures an honorable can- vass, and now comes the telegram of Chairman Griggs assuring an equally honorable course in the domain of national politics so far as the campaign | committees have power to order it. The telegram is timely, and Chairman Griggs has gained an increase of esteem among all men whose esteem is worth having. e Prince Henry is to return to this country next April to attend the unveiling ‘of the statue of Frad- erick the Great, which the Kaiser is to give us, and then of course there will be another free distribution of medals and crosses. , In the end every American household may have one. They are said to be a sure cure for people who suffer from a stiffness of the knee. A account of the revelation they make of certain facts in our social organism that are not readily per- ceived when society is considered in the mass. The careful count of census-taking brings out these ex- ceptional instances and'by aggregating them shows they fill a much larger place in our life than is gener- ally supposed. The practice of what may be called “infant mar- riage” is evidently much more common in the United States than any casual observer would sus- pect, for the census enumerators found 667 boys un- der 15 years of age who were married, and 3785 girls married under that age. There were 33 widowers and 126 widows of the same tender age; and, moreover, there were seven divorced boys and thirty divorced girls who at the time the census was taken were not yet 15 years old. Another revelation with respect to marriage is that in proportion to the male population more men get married in Illinois than in any other State in the Union, the proportion of married men to males over 15 years of age in that State being nearly 58 per cent. No explanation is offered by the Census Bureau for this superior readiness on the part of Illinois men to take upon them the bonds of matrimony, But prob- ably the consciousness that ready relief from the yoke is always to be found in the divorce courts of Chi- cago may have something to do with the fact. CENSUS REVELATIONS, MONG the minor statistics of the late census the largest number who are divorced. It would ap- pear from this that an early marriage is a pretty sure forerunner of an early separation. Marry in haste and repent quickly seems to be the rule there. Still while Texas has a larger absolute number of divorced women than any other State, the percentage of di- vorced women in proportion to population is less in that State than in the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Alaska, however, takes the lead in this respect, for 1.3 per cent of all the women found in that Territory told the census emumerators that they have been divorced. { A third interesting feature of the population statistics is the revelation that there were among native born Americans over 10 years of age 1,471,332 who could not speak the English language. Of these only 180,000 were Indians, Chinese and Japanese. The remainder were of white races. They were of | course the children of foreign immigrants who have not learned our language. It is to be noted, how- ever, that as a rule the native born of foreign pa- rentage is eager to acquire our language, and while the total number of those who have not learned it is large, still in proportion to the total number of such children it is by no means extraordinary. A final feature of significance is the birth rate. With the exception- of the Germans and the Italians | the civilized races appear to be diminishing in repro- ductive power. The recent census in Great Britain shows that the birth rate there decreased from 38 to 31.57 per thousand during the past thirty years. In | France the decline has been much greater. In the United States the birth rate is even less than in Great Britain, amounting in 1900 to only 27.2 per thousand. What is more significant is that the statistics show that the average annual increase of population | through excess of births over deaths in the decade, 1890-1900, was 36.5 per thousand for the class born of foreign white parents, and only 19.5 per thousand | for the class born of native white parents. In the northeastern group of States the disproportion be- tween the two classes was even more striking; the rate of increase for the foreign class was 39.6 and that for the native class 3.8. In the New England States it appears that the native stock is actually declining, its death rate exceeding its birth rate by 1.5 per thou- sand, while in the foreign population the birth rate exceeded the death rate by 44.5 per thousand. Such statistics show that while the sun of prosper- ity is shining most brightly upon our country, it is not without dark spots upon its splendid surface. Probably, however, there are some who do not look upon a declining birth rate as an evil. The economist, for example, may even rejoice that wealth is increas- ing faster than population, and look upon it as an evidence that the millennium is coming. et —— After all it is announced that John R.

Z, Philo, Cal. A deer skin is tanned it the preliminary stage in the same manngr as in ordinary tanning, but beyond unhairing the sur- face of the skin is shaved off. The skin after that is treated with fresh lime soiu- tion -and repeatedly washed to bring the pelt to a somewhat open and porous con- dition, drenched with bran to remove all lime and rinsed in an acid liquor. The skin is next staked out and taken to the fulling machine, or stocks, where after being rubbed over with fish oil it is ham- mered for about two hours to force the oil into all the substance of the skin. It is then stretched, hung up for some time, again olled and fulled. These operations are repeated from six to twelve times, according to the thickness of the skin. After thorough impregnation the skin is dried, then heaped up in a heated room, where a process of oxidation is quickly set up. So soon as the skin assumes a yellow color and gives off a peculiar odor the process is complete and the fermenta- tion is stopped. The last process is the washing out of the oil with a warm pot- ash solution. e Prunes stuffed with apricots.
