THE outrages on Jewish residents in
the provinces of Russia continues , and
'the persecutionsto which the thousands
of Russian , Polish and Bohemian
Jews have been subjected is driving
great numbers to this country. The
Russian persecution of the Jews seems
to have the connivance or at least the
silent Bupjwrt of the government , and
one reason given for this winking of
the government at these shameful dis
orders is said to lie in the foctthat out
of thirty-six Nihilists tried and con
demned in Russia within a year
icluven were Jews. A deputation re
resenting the Jewish imputation of
* the province of Gctchina who waited
upon the czaratSt Petersburg Tuesday
M ere informed that the czar made no
differences between his faithful sub
jects on the ground of religion or na-
tionality. This may possibly bo true ,
for the whole government of Russia is
to-day probably the worst of any civil
ised monarchy on the glolxj. Any
government wherowholesalo slaughter
of a peaceful and prosperous race is
permitted without vigorous measures
/on the part of the central authority
'tosubdue the insurrection , ought
to "be wiped out from the
face of the earth. The persecution of
the Jews in Russia is only another
indication how closely ivhole conti
nents arc bound together in prejudice
and error , and how rapid is the spread
' of any social or political disease which
haj pens to break out in any single na
tion. The present reaction in Rus
sia is but a reflection of the Germ n
"Jew-baiting" of last winter , while
the latter came so near having a gov
ernmental origin that many supposed
they were carrying out the wishes of
Chancellor , .Bismarck or Emperor Wil
liam when they were sacking Hebrew
houses.
- - It is a shame and a disgrace upon
European governments pretending to
nineteenth century civilization that
'they not only permit "but Indirectly
incite the ignorant and unreasoning
hostility and vengeance of uneducated ,
shiftless and half civilized people to
be wreaked upon a race of people who ,
" * through their patient and intelligent
. . ( , * * industry , prosper and increase in social
and political position far beyond the
masses of the districts in which they
reside. Crime , such as these govern
ments tolerate , and even rejoice at ,
may yet react upon themselves. When
civfl authorities shut their eye * to such'
gross violations of law and order -they
may well look forward to the day when

; ANOTHER. BRADY.
General J. -Williamson , commis
sioner of the general land office , has
tendered his resignatiofitwliich
very promptly'accepted Secretary
Kirkwood. General Williamson was
the "Brady" of the interior depart
ment , and the country can well afforc
to , . .dispense with his sen-ices. He
was originally employed by the credit
mobilier gang and made himself- very
useful to the land sharks and subsidy
grabbers.
n Secretary Kirinrood wffl - take as
mucK pains to investigate Williamson
as Postmaster-General James is tak
ing in investigating the star route
ring , he will discover that Williamson
is not very much behind Brady in
point of rascality. We predict also
that Williamson is implicated in as
much crookedness with Star Route
Dorsey in laud and mining specula
tions , as "Brady was inthe letting of
mail contracts.
Dorsey and Williamson are links o :
the same old gang of public plunderers
that made the second term of Genera
Grant BO malodorous. 'Whatwe have
never been able to comprehend was
the fact that a monopoly capper an (
coparcener of jobbers like Williamson
vras retained at the head o
the most important bureau
of the Interior department during the
entire term of Prtpld jit Hayes ,
was not surprising that agood-natucec
old fossil like Judge Key should fai
to discover the unfitness of Brady
but it is unaccountable that a man o
keen penetration and rigid discipli
narian like Secretary fJnliujT ? shouli
tolerate such a fraud as Williamson.
Years ago this paper calledattentio :
to the outrageous frauds that were
perpetrated in the public surveys
this State and in the Territories , b
the connivance of dishonest and in
competent Surveyor-Generals , Mr
Williamson's attention was repeated ! ,
called to these frauds , but l > e winke
at them , and in fact , encouraged them
During the late administration General
oral Williamson professed a desir
to reform this important branch o
the service but his professions were
shameless sham , and the old gang o
plunderers have had full swing th
same as ever. Even mOru ourageou
than these periodical robberies of th
government were his peculiar rulings
of the railway land business. It was
mainly by his active collusion tha
the land grant roads gobble
millions of acres winch they had for
feited by the provisions of their cliar
ters. And it wa the peculiar man
agement of Williamson tliat pnablet
the subsidized railroads to retain their
hold on the choicest public lands fo
which they had taken out no patents
and upon which they systematicall ;
evaded payments of taxes. In view o
these facts it is" highly gratifying thai
General Williamson has been sum
marily relieved from further duty as
commissioner of the general land of
fice.
NEBRASKA has a.deficiency of women
amounting to 40,000. In other words
to give each and every male in our
stare tne "opportunity ior marrying
within its borders there must be im
ported just 40,000 females from some
other section of the country. Startlec
at this alarming state of affairs a resi
dent of Nebraska has written to the
PhiladelphiaJPrew inquiring as to the
surplus of females in Pennsylvania
which is said to be 10,000 and
asking for information as to how
; hat surplus could be utilized in
lis own state. This Nebraska
sachclor evidently doesn't sympathize
with the bearded breed of woman
suffragists and champions of woman
ights. He wants only such females
unported'to our state as are fitted to
make happy homes , and raise healthy
families to do honor to the community
n which they are brought up. He
wishes to tnow particularly whether
, he Pennsylvania girls can "work ,
cook , wash , sew and knit" without
wthering their heads about wo-
nan suffrage and aesthetics. After the
encouragement v , hich he receives from
\\e fress we doubt whether he will
make a trip to Philadelpliia in further
ance of his scheme for wholesale emi-
rrntion. Says the Preta : "Our cor
respondent wishes to know if the
Pennsylvania girls ( the surplus ones
no suppose lie refers to more jiarticu-
arly ) can 'work , cook , wash , sew and
: nit. ' We have no doubt they can ,
hough we cannot speak with ccrtaui-
, y. We know they can all dance
> eautifully , most of them can play on
he piano , and some of them can
ivcn decorate pottery. If they
arc not able'at present to , do the jwr-
ticular things he mentions , we are
confident they could soon learn if they
once give their minds to it Wo think
any how , it would bo amply worth
while for our NubrnRka correspondent
to make Peruisylvauja : i visit and bring
with him as many o'f his bachelor
friends as possible , providcdof course ,
he does not exceed the 10,000 limit ,

The anti-monoply meeting in Musi
Hall last night , like the one recentlj
held in the Cooper Institute , Xe-n
Yorlf , Brought men together for acorn
mon purpose who have for many years
past been able in public matters to do
little more than agree to disagree. The
significance of theao yatliorings wil
hardly be overlooked by the shrewc
gentlemen whose statesmanship begin
and en s with party organization. Ex
perience has taught them to anticipat *
the smashing of soinc existing pieo
of political machinery , when intelli

position are drawn together by th
feeling that a great public interest i

old divisions. The anti-monopoly ag

There are no arts of rhetoric or ap
peals to frothy passions which wi
permanently prevail against the deter
ruination to subject every corporatio
in the United States to the conimo
welfare. The plan issued is made up
and cannot be obscured. Every da
the thoughtful men of thecountr
are being brought to aee that mor
pressing than any ptljer question i
this one : Sliall the corporations b
the masters or the servants of th
public ? To defer the struggle whic
this injury points to is but fc
strengthen the evils complained o
and perhaps make their cradicatioi
impossible. Not to recognize th
necessity for the attack is to be blinc
to thp jnpst obvious facts in the legis
lation of our time ,
The railroad corporations in par
ticular have pressed forward ste < ulil ;
to the goal of supremacy over all th
other interests centered in our gov
eminent. They own the senate o
this state and apparently of the United
States. We get whatever legislatioi
they assent "to , and none which thej
oppose. So far , at least , as the inter
nal commerce of this and the neigh
boring commonwealths of Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey is concerned
the notion that popular influence

Under such circumstances to talk
about putting off the contest till
more convenient season , as Sir.
Beecher did afewmontlisago , issimplj
to urge delay in the interest of the
enemy. If , indeed , the men who
appreciate the foothold already securec
and the tendency to strengthen it
should postpone the conflict , who wil

iry , habituated constituencies to cor
ruption and terrorism , and made our
politicians so familiar with prostitu
tion that those who refuse bribes ant
denounce the takers of them will b
regarded as wild theorists or bilious
disturbers of a natural arrangement
No man in his senses can be in doub
as to the propriety of dealing with the
evil now , and of lifting it to the firs
rank in our politics.
That , at-all events , we take it , is the
opinion of the gentleman who have
enrolled themselves as members of thu
Anti-Monopoly. League in this citj
and New York. They would bt
very gland to see either the
democrats or the republicans
iddress themselves as a party sincere-
y to the rescue of popular sovereign
ty from the hands of the adventurers
who have usurped it , but they are re
solved to make a party that will do so
if need be ; and whether there is ncei
or no they mean to ascertain with the
utmost possible certainty , withoul
much delay. As we un Jerstand itthc
reeling is that the democracy is powcr-
ess.and the republicansaro bound ham ;
ind foot in the service
of the monoi > o-
ists. It is at least doubtful whether the
democrats , under their present leader
ship , can be depended on to do any
thing of an adequate nature. The
: nass of the party is , sound enough.
With all its faults , the democratic
) arty has , at least , this one enormous
virtue : It is composed in the main
of men who do the hard work of the
country , and arc therefore directly
nterested in maintaining the doctrine
) f jwlitical equality , with all that it
mplies. Yet they , too , have fallen
uctims to the wire puller and the
wlitical trickster. Can the plain ,
loncst manhood of the p.irty sweep
hcse trimmers , traders and traitors
isidc and once more stand sturd-
ly , as it did in the early days ,
or the sovereignty of the pco-
ile , for the dignity of manhood , for
he rights of labor , for a fair field and
m special favors to anybody ? We
hall not at present undertake to
inswerthis question , though we have
10 hesitation whatever in saying that
[ this new uprising does not take
> lace shortly within the democratic
old , the party will at an early da } * be
numbered with the things that were ,
lore arc the now issues , and if the
emocracy cannot deal with them the
> arty must bo unceremoniously buried.
So far as the republican organiza- *
ion is concerned , it seems to us there
s little to be hoped for. It has had
he-power and it has systematically
used it for the building up of the
monopolies. It is to-day the avowed
ally of every monopoly of importance
n the country. It is at the present
iioment in complete charge of the
udiciary , the legislative , the execu-
ive and the administrative authority
of this state and
, the spectacle pre
sented is that of unprecedented sub
serviency to the Goulds and Yander-
) ilts of New York.

ifteen republican senators voted

lypocrisy , it has been said , is the
lomage which vice viys to virtue , but '

An .Old Norwegian Town.
Iy II. H. , in June AUanth.
Stavanger is one of the mos
ancient towns in Norway. It looks
as if it were one of the most ancien
in the world ; its very brightness , witl
its faded red houses , open windows
and rugged pavempnts being like tin.
color and smile one sees sometimes on
a cheerful , wrinkled old face. The
houses are packed close together
going up-hill as hard as they can
roofs red tiled ; gable-ends red tilec
also , which gives a droll eyebrow effec
to the ends of the houses , and helps
wonderfully to show off pretty faces
just beneath them , looking out oi
windows. All the windows open ii
the middle , outwards , like shutters
and it would not be much risk
to say that there is not ;
miiuimniu in cut ,
omvcn tji mti > wu
flowers. Certainly we did not see on' '
in a three hours' ramble. From ai
old watch tower , which stands on tin
top of the first sharp hill above th
harbor , is a sweeping offlook , seawan
and coastward , to north and south
long promontories , green and curving
with low red roofs here and there
shot up into relief by the sharp con
trast of colors ; bays of blue watei
breaking in between ; distant ranges o
mountains glittering white ; thousand ;
of islands in sight at once. Stavanger'i
approach strikes Norway's key-note
with a bold hand , and old Norway am
new Norway meet in Stavanger's
market place. An old cathedral , the
oldest but one in the country , looks
down a little inner harbor , where lit ,
sloops loaded with gay pottery ol
shapes and colors copied from the
latest patterns out in Staffordshire.
These are made by peasants many miles
away on the shores of the fjords
bowls , 'jars , flower-pots , jugs , ant
[ ilates , brown , cream-colored , red am ;
white ; painted with flowers and dec
orated with Grecian and Etruscan
patterns in simple lines. The sloops
decks are piled high with them - a
jay show and an odd enough freighi
io be at sea in a storm. The sailors'
deads bob up and down among the
: > ots.and pans , and the salesman sits
lat on the deck , lost from view un-
; il a purchaser appears. Miraculously
cheap this pottery is , as well as
'autastic of shape and color ;
me could fit out his table , oil
one of tlise crockery sloops , for next
o nothing. Al 1 tht warves were mar-
tet stands of all sorts ; old women sell-
ng fuchsias , myrtles , carrots and cab-
> age , and blueberries , all together ;
) ilcs of wooden shoes , too clumsy
hings , hollowed out of a single chunk
of woodj shaped like a Chinese junk
keel , and coarsely daubed with black
ttiint on the outside ; no heel to hold
hem on , and but little toe. The
acket made by shuffling along on

The Lobster Business.
From "The Lobster at llome , " an
an illustrated article by W. H. Bishop ,
in Scribner for June , we quote the
following :
"The factor- opens at one end on
the wharf , close to the water. Two
men bring in the squirming loads on {
stretcher and dump the mass into cop
pors-for boiling. At intervals the cov
era are hoisted by ropes and pullies ,
and dense clouds of steam arise , through
which we catch vistas of men , women ,
and children at work. Two men ap
preach the coppers with stretcher and
scoop-nets , andthey throw rapidscoop-
nets , backward over their shoul
ders. The scarlet hue is seen in
alL quarters on the steaming
stretcher , in the great heaps on the
tables , in scattered individuals on the
floor , in a large pile of shells and re
fuse seen through the open door , and
in an ox-cart load of the same refuse ,
farther off , which is being taken away
for use as fertilizer. The boiled lob
ster is separated , on long tables , into
his constituent parts. The meat of
the many-jointed tail is thrust out
with a punch. A functionary called a
'cracker' frees that of the claws by a
couple of deft cuts with a cleaver , and
the connecting arms are passed on to
be picked out with a fork by the girls.
In another department , the meats is .
placed in the cans. The first girl puts
m rouehly a suitable selection of the
several parts. The next
weighs it , and adds or sub
tracts enough to complete the
exact amount desired ( one or two
pounds. ) The next forces down the
contents with a
stamp invented
espe
cially for the purpose. The next puts
a tin cover with blows of a little
hammer. Then a tray is rapidly filled
with the cans , and they are carried to
the Bolderers , who seal them tight ex
cept for minute openings in the covers
and put them in another tray , which ,
means of a pulley-tackle , is then
plunged in bath caldrons , in order that
the cans may be boiled till the air is "
expelled from their contents through
the minute openings. Then they are
sealed up and are boiled again for sev- )

Those who were present at the
amber cane-growers' meeting at Min
neapolis will remember that there
were those piesent who had tried the
amber cane for feed , with most excel
lent results. With all the saccharine
matter in the plant , which is of itseli
very nutritious , it would appear Tea-
sonable that its fattening qualities
were great. A writer in The Rural
World in speaking of it , says "that
lie put in six acres sown broadcast
and with the drill mostly of the am-
bey variety. " After it was in the
irst stage for making syrup , with seed a
in the dough , he cut it with a self-
-
raker. That sown broadcast proved
; he best. From this piece he hauled
iye loads weighing 3,000 pounds
perload , the stalks being from
JIG size of a lead pencil to
ive-eighths of an inch in diameter
and fully seven feet high. A large part
le left on the ground and hauled as he
wanted it for feed. Ho finished hatil-
ng it on the 18th of March , the top
of the bundle being a little bleached ,
jut the balance was as sweet and full
of juice as the day it was cut. "Now
or results , " says the writer : "I am
low feeding it to my horses , give one
arge bundle per day , and it keeps
; hcm as loose as cut and chopped feed ,
ind it saves me a large lot of grain , as
[ have fed only four quarts of ground
corn and rice corn to each horse per
day , all winter , and they have worked
larder [ than most offarmers' horses ,
'or they had to haul all oi
my feed for thirty head
stock , and part of it ( fifty tons
of millet ) the miles. We have three
September pigs that will weigh 150
lounds each , and they have eaten
lothing this'winterbut sorghum stalks
and the slops of the house , and still
lave over a ton of stalks for them ,
jut to-day I find it souring. I shall
sow ten acres for feed this season , but
shall wait until the last of June , as it
makes in ninety days ; then I will have
cool weather to keep it in , and the
jreen succulent fodder is what I want
'or feed. Some of my neighbors cut it
early , before it headed out. There
vas no sweet or sugar in it , and it
leatcd , and all fired , moulded and
spoiled in the stack. As soon as the
cool weather comes I am
o haul up and risk it , seas
as to take off the seed , and
o secure good crops. My plan might
lot do on the black alluvial or clay
ands. I am on the sandy hinds of the
Arkansas valley , near water , cool and on
noist. This may be the reason that I
cept cane in as good condition all win-
er as the day it was cut , for making
yrup ; and to-day I split a stalk from
.he bottom of the pile , and only the
wo lower joints showed any signs of
changa in color ; but they were fresh ,
rreenand sound , iis the day they were
ut , and when twisted the juice ran in
stream , and no acidity perceptible to
lie taste. S. M. P. D. does not give
; credit enough as a fodder plant ; for
Mr. Wadsworth has wintered 8,000
lead of sheep on it , with only a loss , s
o far , of twenty-three head , and no
oed sheds for shelter. f

The bar-keeper was about to close ind
p. He had said so several times ,
nd had put out all the lights but one.
"he old fixtures had shook the saw-
ust from their feet , and reluctantly
irected their footsteps homeward.
aly a stranger remained , a dark , n
around each other like white mice
turning a wheeL . '
"When the coast was clear he stepped
up to the bar and said softly : "May
I whisper a word in our ear ? " "You
may , mister , if you will be quick about
it , replied the drink-mixer , with his
hand on the lamp-crew. -
' 1 want you to fill me a flask of
your best whisky for family sickness , "
said the stranger , drawing out an
ancient wallet with twenty fathoms of
leather string wound around it a
well-worn wallet , that looked as ii.all
the waves and billows of bad luck had
beat upojti it , and gone over it and
through" it , and flattened it , and
washed it out clean.
The barman filled him up a" pint ,
shoved down the cork untilit squeaked ,
wiped the bottle dry and sat it upon
the counter.
"The autumnal air is getting a trifle
tartish , " soliloquized the stranger.
"Would you have any objection to my
taking a little ( liver-padaer from the
bottle ? "
Ho filled the tumbler quite full ,
took it as he did paregoric in the days
of his infancy , and then remarked :
"Perhaps , on the whole , as the
night has far waned , and my family
are on their spiral springs' endin their
trundles , you had better put my bottle
tle away on the upper shelf , and when
Phoebus Apollo begins to canter his
golden prancers along the avenues of
the purpling east , I will call for it ,
and you may then assess mo the ap
propriate amount of ducats. "
The bark.eepor sprang over the bar
anil began to kick him.
"What ! " he said sweetly , "you
kick me after I have drank ? Don't
you know better than that ? Kick me
with both feet I cannot teel you
even then. Before I took that glass ,
if you had but shook your flat at me
you would have wounded me hurt
me ; but now I scorn your physical
punishment. Good night , " he said ,
as he stood on the doorstep. "I sec
by the shadow on the sidewalk that
you have kicked me again. You
should remember , my irascible publi
can , what the dear old poet said :
'Fate cannot harm me now ; I have
dined to-day. ' Good night , taverner !
