HEN Mr. Ritchie, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced in the Com- W mons the intention of the Ministry to re- al the grain duties, it was believed the action be widely approved by the public and would y strengthen the Ministry before the coun- eports from London, however, show that the 1as been quite different from what was ex- . masses of the people have exhibited in the matter, while the land owners, and grain dealers have been loud in expres- o is significant that the objection to repeal comes the Liberal opposition but from supporters Moreover, among the ob- opposition 3 ry itself. are some of the foremost men in the party. -Beach, who was Mr. Ritchie’s im- Sir Mi ael b ediate predecessor in the office of Chancellor, has | yrised the public by undertaking a defense of the es, and Mr. Chaplin, the foremost of the onist leaders, has joined him in fighting the pro- posed po Most notable of all was the recent of Chamberlain at Birmingham, whicl. ignored the » altogether, notwithstanding the fact that Chamberlain is supposed to be the man upon whom the Ministry chiefly relies for defending its policies one of ¥ speecl before the people The objectors to the repeal of the tax assert that grain duties do not amount to a serious burden upon the consumers, for the tax is so small that it is not notable in the retail price of a pound of meal or | flour or of 2 loaf of bread. On the other hand, the repeal of the duties would materially injure several large British industries outside of that of farming. The millers are particularly earnest in their objections to repeal. By reason of the low duty on grain, as compared with the duties on meal and Sour, the British millers were enabled to import grain and make a profrt upon grinding it. A repeal of the duties will leave m exposed to the competition of im- ported flour, and they will thus lose an important part of their profits. Another strong body of objectors is made up of the followers of Chamberlain’s schemes for imperial federation. These men are in favor of any policy that tends to bring the various parts of the empire into closer relations. They favor a comprehensive system of, tariff duties, because it would permit of granting to the colonies preferential rates in British markets. | It was to that class of men that Chamberlain ad- dressed himself at Birmingham. He declared himself quite willing to sacrifice free trade in the interests of the empire as a whole, and there can be no question that a considerable body of men in all ranks of the British people hold similay views. The strangest part of it all is the comparative in- difference of the factory operatives to the duty. The fight for free trade was won by reason of the sup- port given to Cobden and Bright by the workers of the manuiacturing centers. The duty on grain was specially denounced as a bread tax, and the agitation for its repeal was accompanied by disturbances that threatened insurrection. At the present time the British worker seems to be thinking of other things than bread taxes. More and more the workingmen separating themselves from the old parties, whether Liberal or Conservative, and give but little ed to the old party issues. Their fight is for some- thing very much like Socialism. At any rate, it is for something which they account as of much more importance than tariff duties. The situation is such that the frée traders may find themsclves powerless to maintain their trade system - in face of the strong opposition that is being rapidly | organized against it. An imperial federation of Great Britain and her colonies, based on free trade within the empire and guarded by protection against outside competition, is therefore among the political possibili- ties of the near future, and should it be so Mr. Cham- berlain stands a good chance of becoming Prime Minister and taking rank in history as the organizer of the empire. % R ———— The supporters of horse racing in France evidently care something for the good opinion of the rest of the world. They have issued their ultimatum that Tod Sloan cannot race on their tracks. There is a growing belief that the reason Mr. Cleve- land refuses to talk politics just now is that he is afraid it wiil scare the fish. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, THE JEWS IN RUSSIA. HE enlightenment of American public opinion Tupon the condition of the Jews in Russia will generate a force that does not require indigna- | { tion at massacre for its stimulus. The slaughter ofj Jews by fanatic Russian mobs is a fit result of the in-| justice and inequality with which the Jews are treated by Russian law. A large majority of the Jews now subject to the | Czar did not become so by their own wish. Their | ancestors settled in Poland, and, under the tolera\n(!I policy of that kingdom, it became a refuge for them | when religious bigotry drove them out of Spain.| They spread as Poland enlarged her borders and fin- | ally peopled the country from the Gulf of Riga nearly | to the Sea of Azof. Through their country ran the; | great rivers, the Dniester, Bug and Dnieper. In the several divisions of Poland are the provinces of Vitebsk, Kowno, Vilna, Grodno, Minsk, Mohilev, Volhynia, Podolia, Kiev, Tchernigov, Poltava, Eka- terinoslav, Taurida, Cherson and Bessarabia. With the exception of a very small area on the Sea of Azof and the Black Sea, these provinces were all Polish and were the home of the Jew before the several diA; visions of that unhappy kingdom. These provinces | are the Jewish pale, and their residence in Great Ruis- | sia outside the boundary of the pale is either forbid-i den or is permitted under such restrictions as to cause but few of them to be found there. Count Cassini, in his recent interview, left it to bei understood that there is no objection to the Russian} Jews if they will live like other people, distributing | themselves among the artisans, farmers and profes- | sional people like others. This is an entire misrepre- | sentation of the situation and a disingenuous state- | ment of conditions. The policy and law of Russia | toward the Jews within the pale is to intern them in | the towns, where they are kept permanently in Ghetto. The American people should know these govern- in\cntnl facts. They go to the stolid and constant | policy of Russia to dehumanize the Jews by a studied | denial to them of human rights. At times Russian law has prohibited to Jews the right to leave the country, and at the same time has denied to them the right to make a living in the country. Under | what are calted the May laws, devised by Ignatieff, Minister of the Interior, in 1882, the Jews were driven | out of the rural districts and herded together in the | cities and towns. | To quote some of the provisions of the laws of | Ignatieff literally: “The Jews are henceforth for- | bidden to settle outside the towns and townlets, the | | only exception being in those Jewish colonies that | ed heretofore, and whose inhabitants are ! This seems Yo recognize the rights | of those already settled as land owners in rural occu- :paxio s; but the next clause of the law suspends “the | | completion of instruments of purchase of real prop—‘ erty and mortgages of Jews, and forbids the registra- |tion of Jews as lessees of real property outside of} |towns.” This put such restrictions on the ownership | | of rural property as to nullify any advantage to the | Jews already in rural property, and to forbid their | right of mobility even between towns within the pale. The Jew, being forbidden to buy, sell or lease| country real estate,, must of necessity quit rural life | |and accept his fate in the Ghetto. This being the | | law of his country will be seen that Cassini’s state- | ment, which is intended to indict the Jew for prefer- | ring life in the cities, is untrue, for the Jew has no | choice in the matter. P Again, Cassini says the Jew as an artisan or pro-| fessional man is not objected to. But of what use is | { that immunity when the laws are strained at every | point to psevent him from becoming either? The | world was surprised when Russia refused to accept | | Baron Hirsch's offer of a gift of $10,000,000 to pro- | vide technical and professional schools for the Rus- | sian Jews, the reason for refusing being that the schools already offered sufficient advantages of that | kind. 1 | Under a rescript issued by the Government, in the | universities and gymnasia within the pale the num- ber of Jewish students is limited to 10 per cent of the | whole attendance, outside of it to 5 per cent, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg 3 per cent, and elsewhere none are permitted at all. Within the paf?it is true that the Jews are only 12 per cent of the total popu- | lation, urban and rural. But the schools are in the Emw s. The few rural Jews are not permitted to go | to the towns, and in many of the towns the Jews of the Ghetto are half the town population. In eighty- two towns they are 50 per cent of the whole and in four 80 per cent are Jews. Yet in these towns only 10 per cent of the pupils may be Jews. In the city of Odessa, with a population of 240,000, the Jews number 106,000, yet only 10 per cent of the pupils may be Jews! Russian Jews in some places established technical schools of their own, with their own means, but the same law is applied to these schools. At Venitza, in Podolia, a Mr. Weinstein established such a school. The population is 25,000, of whom 10,000 are Jews, and yet in the Weinstein school only eight Jewish pupils'are permitted, and its advantages are enjoyed by eighty Christian pupils! The feeling over the massacre may pass away; but | The Call proposes that American sentiment in the matter shall be more permanent, being based upon the disabilities of the Jews and their inequality of con- dition enforced by Russian law, because that very in- equality, for which they are not to blame, is caused by the law of the land. o e e It seems that the only defect in the new anti-press Jaw in Pennsylvania is due to the failure of the Legis- { lature to include a “lese majeste” clause for the pro- tection of the Governor, and as a consequence while the legislators are having a holiday in seclusion the Governor is getting roasted in a new spot every day. HOUSEWORK GIRLS. OUSEWORK GIRLS in Holyoke have or- H ganized a union for the settlement of the ser- vant girl question in that town, and perhaps for all Massachusetts. Indeed, the whole of New England has been interested and somewhat dis- turbed by the proposed solution, and the action of the girls has been discussed with an earnestness not less than that given to a consideration of the great will operatives’ strike at Lowell. The union proposes as the first step toward the set- tlement of the problems of domestic service these concessions from the employers: Eight hours to not less than $5 a week; no Sunday suppers to be prepared; no work to be done in the kitchen be- tween 6:30 p. m. and 5:30 a. m.; no babies to be looked aiter by girls employed in work other than that of tending children;, no children to be per- mitted in the kitchen at any time; each girl to have three evenings off cach week; ladies’ miids are to rise an hour later than at present; the maid is not ito be required to serve breakfast in the lady’s bed- l | her he will have to pony up the alimony. | one year ago, there was in the treasury $540,000, out constitute a day’s work; wages to be $1 a day, or |- |mom, but the breakfast may be served by a house- maid or a waitress; neither housemaid, ladies’ maid nor waitress is to attend a baby when the nurse is off duty; the nurse girl is to attend the baby only during the day and is to be relieved from duty at night; and, finally, the nurse is to have the right to take the baby for promenades along whatever routes she deems best, and is not to be subject to orders to take the baby to a particular glgce for an outing. The organizer of the union is quoted as saying in defense of the movement: “We organized for shorter hours, more wages and more privileges. We don't want to make any trouble, but we d6 want and will have justice. -1 know girls who do the work of two and three girls for families here in Holyoke that can well afford to keep more girls. I know girls who work fifteen hours a day, who get up at 5 and get through at 8 o'clock. I know girls who take care of children, cook, sweep, dust and are even asked to sew at odd times. And some of these girls are get- ting but $3 and $3 50 per week.” Another member of the union said: “One thing we are going to set our foot down on is getting sup- per on Sunday nights. We no sooner get our dinner dishes done than we have to start in and get sup- per, so we are too late to go to church or any place else. Then we are not going to get up so early in the morning. We shall demand more pay, too. And another thing, we won’t have the children around in the kitchen.” A third organizer put in this plea: “I am going to propose in our meeting next Thursday night that it be made one of our rights for a girl to use the front door. I for one think it an outrage that a respectable working girl must always use the back door, and I think we onght to have a sitting-room for our company. What chances of marrying do we girls have? No place to have our company and no time off to ever get out in campany any way.” That is the sort of reform solution of the servant | girl problem that Massachusetts is about to wrest!e‘ with. The girls must have a chance to get married, and to that end they must have an opportunity to! be courted three evenings int the week with a_sitting- | room at the house and the full use of the front door. Evidently there is going to be a big demand for apartment houses in Holyoke; but who would ever have suspected that Massachusetts girls are so eager to marry that they are willing to upset society for a bare chance of having a beau to entertain? | In a divorce case in Brooklyn the Judge orderedi the parties to live separate for three months, saying that if at the end of that time the husband shall offer to renew marital relations with his wife the alimony shall cease, but if he fail to live with her and support It is in fact a sort of probationary divorce and may prove popular in future. | | CUBA'S FIRST YEAR. | i i | i last Wednesday, May 20, Cuba celebrated | the completion of the first year of her hiswr)’E as an independent republic. The celebration | occurred under auspicious circumstances, for the close | of the year finds the republic with a good surplus in | her treasury, an efficient administration in charge of | the Government and a widespread prosperity among | her people. Of course the future of a new Govern- | ment cannot be safely estimated from a single year | | of trial, especially if it be a year of good times, when | there is no discontent to deal with, but none the less | the showing for the year is distinctly encouraging and j affords ground for the belief that before there comes a time of strain and stress the Government will have been sufficiently well established to meet the shock ! without disaster. | When the Government was turned over to the | Palma administration by the American authorities | of which a few current debts had to be paid. The | report of the Secretary of Finance for March 31| showed a surplus at that date of $2.609,071. The saving has not been effected by neglect of proper ad- ministrative work, for the reports go on to say lhat‘j the police supervision and sanitary regulations of lhci island have been kept fully up to the standard set by: the military authorities, and a large amount of work | has been done in the way of public improvements. The most serious question the Government is facing | at the present time is the demand of the veterans of | the army of the revolution for their back pay. Govern- ment officials are busily engaged in enrolling the | names of the old soldiers and recording the amount of payments due them. It is estimated that the sum | to which they are entitled will be upward of $15,000,- 000, which is of course a sum too large to be paid out of current revenues. For the purpose of providing a fund ample to meet | the just claims of the army, as well as to provide for | other necessary expenditures, the Cuban Congress | authorized a loan of $35,000,000, which is to be nego- tiated as soon as the proper arrangements can be made. The law fixes the rate of interest on the loan at 5 per cent, but provides that the loan shall not be made unless the sale of bonds nets the Government at least o cents on the dollar. If the Cuban Govern- ment were well and securely established financiers would hasten to take a loan that promised such big interest, but there has been no eagerness displayed in any money center to take the Cuban loan on the terms proposed. That is the only sign of distrust on the sky at present, but it is by no means an insignifi- cant one. Popular sentiment in the islands is said to be more averse than ever to annexation to the United States. That is evidence of the confidence of the people in the stability and excellence of their Government, and may be taken as an offset to the distrust in financial circles. The Cubans believe they are going to have a Government that will establish justice, maintain peace, promote the welfare of the people and com- mand the respect of the world. In that belief they look back upon the record of the past year with pride, and to the future with patriotic confidence and faith. o i William Jennings Bryan, with a lingering notion that he still possesses a voice and an influence in his party, is idling the hours away suggesting candidates for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. His time is well spent. His efforts indicate with in- dubitable accuracy to the Democracy whom not to select. R AS : Tt is reported that the Germans have decided that the n‘atives occupying the German possessions in Samoa shall learn to speak German, or not be per- mitted to speak at all, and now we may look for a general fnigration of natives to the American portion of the islands. —_———— ./ With Dr. Parkhurst bolting the reform party and Bill Devery organizing a revolt against Tammany, it looks as if New York politics ‘in the coming city clection were going to have as much fea in the side shows as in the main circus.
