A Lesson in Brotherhood.
"T IS a happy sIbu of the larger
fellowship ot modern religious life
and thought that at the dedi
catory exercises of a Jewish
temple Christians are not only present
by" Invitation, hut also at one with the
purpose of tho temple's construction.
The many messages and expressions of
congratulation received by the Congre
gation Anshpehesed from participants
In other faiths upon the completion of
their beautiful new place of worship on
Madison avenue measure a marked ad
vance In human brotherhood since the
days when liftman energies weie largely
expended In persecuting and oppressing
In the name of religion.
Those who sometimes lament what
they call the declining force of religion
In modern life surely would not have
the dial of history turned back to the
era when to be a Jew meant in all
Christian countries to have tb live in
concealment or Incur the hazard of
frightful injustice. It is. not a decline,
but a refinement of religion which en
courages among men of differing faiths
ngreement and co-operation in those
larger purposes of religion which have
to do with society's uplifting and with
the betterment of individual character.
In places yet the old intolerance ex
ists; and no rebuke to it Is more SC
feetual than object lessons In large
minded liberality. W'u are glad that
an opportunity for such nn object-lcs-Kin
has been afforded this community
mid vu trust that none will ever be
neglected.
Judge Pennypacker's condemnation of
the ripper legislation ot the Inst assem
bly must have sounded oddly to Quay,
lllgclow and the Olivers, Its architects;
but It showed that the Republican can
didate for governor has a mind and a
will of his own and must Increase re
spect for him.
Secretary Shaw on Reciprocity.
O AMERICAN of tho present
geneiallon has a better fac
ulty than Secretary Shaw for
putting substantial nrgu
irpnts In a form to appeal to the aver
iigo understanding. Ills use of lun
p.uage is masterful and he does not talk
at random. H
At Chicago, on Saturday night, he
discussed reciprocity and showed that
Instead of this bring a departure from
protection It was a logical outgrowth
of it, Americans being greater pro
ducers than consumers, it was a ques
tion whether their power to produce
should be checked when tho home mnr
Itot wits filled or whether the surplus
pioducta of their production should be
offered for salt- in foreign markets. To
Leoomo nn exporting nation will re
quire, not only good articles to sell but
also skill and cleverness In the soiling,
If by riMllcke'r iti tariffs not injuring
our homp market wo can enlurgo our
foreign "Innrkot, Secretary Shaw con
tends tljat It would ho foolish and
Bhort-slglUeil not to make that dicker
nnd. work It for nil it is worth, Noi
ls he scared because export prices are
Homcllni'cs lower than tho homo prices
of articles similar In kind. On this
Etibject-whlcli. by the way, seems to
roncern.pur Democratic friends a groat
deal he sold;
Our manufacturer has a hard time nt
best establishing n foreign trade. In the
llrst place, ho pays "higher wages than
his rlva$. in tho next place, us soon as
ho cioswjs Uie sea and begins to build
up his trade, and offers his goods at a
price that villi insure u sale, lie H con
fronted tit homo with tho accusation of
selling cheaper abroad, and with a threat
that hls'"'home market will bo destroyed
by the Tternoval of alio tariff. Foreign
pountrlcjldo not do this. They encourage
their exiiprters, 'and these exporters ure
expectod'to sell cheaper abroad than at
borne.
I havevwlth me six biimples of sugar
sent by Major Williams, special agent of
the treasury department, resident ' in
Paris, They were bought by his servant
for use In his kitchen, and he paid there,
for the equivalent of 10 cents a pound.
That was In France, mark yout und this
Is ordinary grnnulated sugar, The whole
sale prloe wuii above seven cents. Yet
France makes her own sugar, exports to
the United States, pays J1.53 per hundred
tariff duly, then sells It ut wholesale in
this 'country for less than five cents. In
other words, the wholesale price for this
lurur at the factory where made Is seven
N
nnd onc-lmlf cents, It Is exported here,
a duly of two cents n pound paid thereon,
and the wholesale price Is less than five.
A year or so ago, some manufacturers
of chocolate In Holland Imported their
product to Iho United Btutei nnd weie
charged with undervaluing It. Tho board
of general appraisers at New York look
sworn evidence ns to the cost of mnnufac
lurlng the.ae rhocolntci and tho evidence
disclosed the fnot Hint granulated Bilgnr
was worth nt wholesale In Holland seven
and one-hnlf rpnts. Yet Holland exports
sugar to the United States, pays two
cents per pound duty and sells for lefs
than live, Tho sturdy Hollanders believe
It U part nt statesmanship to encourage
the export trade and they do not criticise
for selling goods, abroad cheaper than
nt home. Tho HnllAtutcr Is willing to pay
10 cents for sugar from beets he grows
himself If by so doing ho can sweetn
the food for tho Americans. For my part
I will pay most nny pi Ice for barbed
wire, If the wheat from my field, tho but
ter from my dulty, the beef from my pas
ture, nnd tho pork from my sty shall sus

makes barbed wire for the ranches of
Stexlco nnd South America,
Is not this sound, practical sense?

Qolden Rule Diplomacy
"rAllH FULL significance of the
r
note of Secretary liny to the
powers respecting Itoumnn-
la's persecution of the Jews
Is slowly gaining recognition in this
country. It Is characteristic of the
readier public understanding of Inter
national matters on the other side that
the British press was the earliest to
sense this.
First ns to the facts. On July 13, 1878,
a treaty was signed nt llerlln by Great
Krltaln, France, Germany, Russia,
Italy, Austria nnd Turkey establishing
a balance of power In tho Balkans, its
44th article prescribing that "In Hou
mnnln, the difference of religious creeds
and confessions shall not he alleged
against any person ns a ground for ex
elusion or Incapacity In matters relat
ing to the enjoyment of civil and poli
tical right, admission to public employ
ments, functions nnd honors, or the ex
ercise of the various professions and
industries In any locality whatsoever;"
and guaranteeing that all foreigners In
Koumania shall he treated without dis
tinction of creed on a footing of perfect
equality. As a matter of fact, in Rou
nianla today the Jews are denied every
one of these rights. They are excluded
from the public service and the learned
professions; they are singled out for
special and outrageous taxntlon; they
are prohibited from owning land or
even cultivating it as common laborers;
they are debarred from residing in the
rural districts; and In the cities sucli
restrictions are placed upon their ability
to win bread that they must either
submit to beggary or seek relief in
exile.
The United States was not a party to
the treaty of Berlin, the Monroe doc
trine forbidding. But Secretary Play
claims the right, on ground of general
equity and also because the existence
of such unauthorized discriminations in
Rounianla tends to injure the United
States by forcing into It n stream of
Immigration not fitted for American
citizenship, to protest agnlnst Rouman
ian conditions. The essence of the
secretary's argument Is comprised in
the following excerpts:
The United Slates welcomes now, nsit
hns welcomed from the foundntlon of its
government, the voluntary Immigration
of all aliens coming hither under condi
tions fitting them to become merged in
the body politic of this land. Tho con
ditions are few, looking to their coming
as free agents, so circumstanced physi
cally and morally as to supply the health
ful and Intelligent material of free citi
zenship. Tho pauper, the criminal, tho
contngiously or incurably diseased are ex
eluded from the benefits of Immigration
only when they are likely to become a
source of danger or a burden upon the
community. Tho voluntary character of
their coming Is essential; hence we shut
out nil Immigration assisted or con
strained by foreign agencies. The pur
pose of our generous treatment of tho
alien immigrant Is to benefit us and him
Alikenot to afford to another state a
Held upon which to cast Its own objec
tionable elements. It behooves the
statu to scrutinize, most jealously tho
character of the immigration from a for
eign land, nnd, If it be obnoxious, to ex
amine the causes which render It so.
Should those cnuses orlglnato In the act
of another sovereign state, to tho detri
ment of Its neighbors, It is the preroga
tive of nn injured state to point out tho
evil nnd to mnkn remonstrance; for with
nations, an with Individuals, the social
law holds good that the right of each Is
bounded by tho right of tho neighbor.
The teachings of history and tho exper
ience of our own nation show that the
Jews possess In a high degree tho men
tal and moral quantitations' of conscien
tious cltlzenhood. No class of Immigrants
Is more welcome to our shores when com
ing equipped In mind and body for en
trance upon tho struggle for bread nnd
Inspired with the high purpose to glvo
tho best service of heart and brain to the
laud they adopt of their own free will.
Hut when they romn as outcasts, mado
doubly paupers by physicnl nnd moral
oppression In their native land and
thrown upon tho long-suffering generos
ity of a moro favored community, their
migration lacks tho essential conditions
which make alien Immigration either ac
ceptable or benellclnl. So well is tills
appreciated on tho continent Hint even
in tho countries where nutl-Semltlsm hns
no foothold It Is dtlflpult for theso fleeing
Jews to obtain any lodgment. America Is
their only goal, Tho United States offers
asylum to the oppressed of all innds.
Hut Its sympathy with them In no wise
Impairs lt Just liberty and right to
weigh tho nets of tho oppressor In tho
light of their effects upon this country
nnd to Judge nccordlngly,
Putting together the fncts( now pain
fully brought homo to this government
during the past few years, that many of
tho Inhabitants of Houmanlu are being
forced, by nrtlllolnlly ndverse discrimina
tion to quit their natlvn country; that
the hospltabla asylum offered by this
country Is almost tho only refuge left to
them; that thoy come hither unfitted, by
the conditions of their exile, to take part
In tho now life of tliU land under cir
cumstances either profitable to them
selves i)i' benellclnl to tho community;
nnd that they aro objects of charity from
the outset and for a long time tho right
of remonstrance against the nets of Uie
Itnumanlaii government Is clearly pstnb
llsheil III favor, of this government.
Whether consciously and of purpose or
not, these helpless people, burdened and
cpurnedjiy their native land, nie foiced
by the sovereign power of itournunln
upon the charity of the United Stutes.
This government cannot ho a tacit party
to such uii International wrong,
It so happens that tho number, of
Itoumunlnn Jews In the United H(ntes
us recorded by the recent census Is only
about 12,000, n number sufficient to sus
tain tho secretary's plea of selfish In
terest, but hardly BUfllcicnt to cause it
to bo looked upon as paramount. In
reality his note of protest Is an appeal
to tho conscience of Christendom made
under a form of self-interest, his ob
jective being to Jet other notions know
that American moral Influence Is nt tho
back of treaty observance rtnd Inter
national fair plnyj that It proposes
henceforth to assert und to the limit
of Its power sustain the mornl taw
among nations. And It Is significant
that from the foreign office of England
enmo prompt nnd hearty endorsement
of tho Hay declnrntUn, while the Ger
man chancellery, though moving with
greater deliberation, caUscii notice to
bo given that It, too, was In accord,
Americans certainly have occcaslon
to look with, pride upon the dlplomucy
of John ifny, It In doing mora than
battleships to extend American prestige
nnd expand American Influence.

F. Murphy, says ho will not, recognize

An Appeal to
Common Sens?.
An Individual Coal Operator Reasons
with Striking Mine Workers.
From the New York Sun.
To tho Editor of tho Sun-Sir: Wheth
er of use or useless, nevertheless, I, nn
individual conl operator, am constrained
to address n few lines to the mine work
ers. And theso lines will bo to give somo
good reasons why the opcratois have re
fused from first to Inst to deal with John
Mitchell and his union. First of nil, you
miners well know that tho different con
ditions at the different mines made It im
possible to grant the union's demand for
u unlfoim nite or'increuse of wages for
all the mines. Next, you miners well
know that the minor who mines coal at
a lixed pi Ice per car contnlnlng a specific
number of cubic feet makes more money,
In nearly every case, than does the miner
who mines it at so much per ton, nnd
that that demand, that all coal mined be
paid for by the ton, was only made to
catch the sympathy of the public. And
ns to the complaint about dockage, you
miners all know that if, after cutting
your coal, you would but remain In the
mines to see your laborer properly clean
It as he loads It Into the enr, that a
docking boss would not be needed, nnd
that this complaint is therefore charge
able solely to yourselves.
Before the strike was ordered the one
thing most for you and your lenders to
consider should have been that old but
very true adage that "You can always
catch more files with molasses than you
can with vinegar." The strike itself was
considered causeless and produced a very
ugly wound, and when John Mitchell and
his satellites were Idiotic enough to pour
raw vinegar therein by the issuance ot
that Infamous ukase ordering out the
engineers, firemen and pumpmen, which
meant to flood, blow up and destroy
every mine In tho anthracite region, they
thereby nt once blasted their every
chance and hope of ever getting the op
eratois to have any dealings whatever
with them .or their union. Let me say,
In passing, that this order to flood, blow
up and destroy the mines was looked
upon as no worse than would it be to
put tho torch to and burn down the
breakers, and forced upon the operators
the belief that John Mitchell and his co
horts would just as soon order the latter
as the former but for the law that to
order the torch would send them to the
penitentiary.
Is it any wonder that the operators
havo refused to deal with Mitchell and
such a union as he conducts? No sane
man should expect it. And as If this
weie not enough, they add the bludgeon,
tho shotgun, riot, murder and general de
struction, and all without one word ot
condemnation from John Mitchell or nny,
of his leaders, and yet they and you ask
the operators "to kiss tho hand that thus
smites them." Pteposterous! And the
sooner you mine workeis yourselves real
ize it tho better it will bo for you.
Yet with this state of affairs upon us
some of our newspapers cry "Grant con
cessions!" "Arbitrate!" "Mine coal!" A
very largo proportion would, I know,
gladly mine coal but for fear of their
lh'es nnd destruction of their homes, As
to "Impartial" arbitration, so much ex
ploited to catch tho public, John Mitchell
was never honest In nsklng it, ns I shall
prove out of his own mouth. In his
speech before the Allied Labor societies
in Philadelphia on Sept. 12, he said:
"Governor Stono Is contemplating nn ex
tra session of the legislature for the
purpose of having enacted n compulsory
arbitration law. The miners nre willing
to havo arbitration but they are not
willing to have compulsory arbitration."
This Is "impartial" arbitration with a
vengeance, Very willing Is ho to bind
tho coal companies, but, oh, no, don't
make It compulsoiy to bind the union or
tho miners.
And tlioso newspapers that havo been
so vociferously calling upon the opera
tors to arbitrate, why don't they now
ring this dally bofoie tho public, that
John Mitchell has now said ho don't want
It If it Is to bo compulsory and binding
upon him nnd his union?
Now, a little moro to tho mlno worker
nnd tho public In general, Supposing I
and my friends should come around to
day with tho torch and bum or try to
burn down your homes and destroy all
your possessions, and then should come
tomonow nnd nsk n favor of you? In
nil honesty I nsk you what you would
do and say? Would you not kick us out
of your presence. If not, you nro not
human, and yet after all John Mitchell
nnd his union have done to destroy their
property you ask the operatois to grant
him favors. You ought to know better,
and tho sooner you realize It and return
to work the better oft you will be. Your
leadeis are at tho end of their string and
their cause Is lost and they know it.
Let me cite to you Just a few of the
Instances In which John Mitchell and his
sldo lights have fooled you. First, John
Mitchell's seductive voico nnd fulse prom
ises made you strike. Since that you
have been told tho Civic Fedeintlon
would help you out. Then Jt was Mark
I In mm. T1,pn the damnable order to
Hood tho mines would biirely bilng th
bperntprs to time, Then a miners' na
tional convention was called to proclaim
a natlonnl strike. That fulled. Tho big
fund of money that was to copio from
the t-oft coal miners likewise failed, at
least in so far ns much of it (Pitching you
poor mlno workers. Then you were told
the clergy would settle it. Then Quay,
Penroso and Piatt were ull-powerful, but
you were fooled ogaln. Next, our great
governor rum down to Now York nnd he
can surely bring Mr, Morgan to time.
Hut Mr. Morgan doesn't own all tho coal
properties In the country and Is not un
just enough to dictate anything that
would result In Irreparable Injury to
others, Then you wero told tho president
of 'the United States would settlo it.
Fooled again. Next tho taffy was spooned
out to you Hint tho governor (oh, no,
not tho governor, Mr. Qtiuy) would cofi
vene tho legislature and pass a compul
sory arbitration law (which Mitchell now
says he doesn't wnnt) nnd other stringent
laws to compel tho open) tors to settle.
Bosh! Wheie Is the Constitutional war
rant for nny law compelling them to hire
you to work If they don't want to? Ob,
your leaders say, wo will amend the Con
stitution to warrant such compulsory
luws. Possibly they had better tnke a
"squint" at the Constitution of the
United Stutes und see If that would not
have to be first amended also. There nre
several things in thut good old Instru
ment that the states are prohibited from
doing, among which "ure the very laws
your leaders aro fooling you about. '
nut suppose you could amend our stute
Constitution to cover the case, where
would you mlno workers "be nt" when It
Is tlono? First, two legislatures must au
thorize Iho amendments before they can
be voted upon. This will take two and
n half years nt lenst. Nor It this nil.
Our state Constitution provides that "n
amendment or nmendments shall be sub
mitted oftener than once In five years,"
nnd ns two amendments nro to bo voted
Upon ihU coming November, therefore no
further amendment can bo submitted un
til live yenrs from next November. Mean
time, where would the mlno woi Iters bo
who nre now on strlko7 Echo answers,
"Wheri-?" nnd you were Moled again.
Well, what more? In the breach now
step the fools with tho proposition that
the stnte conflicnto all the mlno property,
nnd your mine lenders try to fool you
with tho belief that Hint will frighten the
operators Into term' and concessions. Am
If such rot would frighten anybody, nnd
apcclntly such a great lawyer as is
Gcorgo F. Baer.
All these mid scores of other proposi
tions t might mention you have been
fooled with, nnd nil with the same nn
swer, "No Bitrrentler, no concessions," ex
cept that you enn belong to n union or
not ns" you please, Hint neither union or
non-union men will ho discriminated
ngnlnst, hud that nil grievances com
plnlned of nt nny mlno will bo fully In
quired Into nnd rectified with the em
ployes nt that mine.
Mny I hero hint Hie grrnt propriety of
tho miners returning on tho old system
while they can, Instead of waiting until
tho new plnn of hilt ono miner to eight or
ton chambers Is put In operation, when
not to exceed one miner In' eight will ever
agnln find a plitco in the mines except ns
a laborer?
Miners nnd mine workers, you have
paid more money Into John Mitchell's
union in initiation fees nnd dues than all
tho concessions of 1!W0 over amounted to
to you, Miners nnd mlno workers,
through petty strikes and loss of tlmo
through John Mitchell's uliion, figure up
What a vdst sum you have lost In wages
since IftOO. Miners and mine workers, to
please John Mitchell and his union lead
ers and to help them build houses, to
ride in carriages and feed on tho fat of
tho lnnd whllo you, your wives nnd chil
dren stnrvo each and every one of you
has now lost hundreds upon hundreds of
dollars; and what have you got or what
will you ever get for It? Nothing, abso
lutely nothing, except debts piled up,
mortgaged homes, your bank accounts
and savings gone, nn empty dinner pall
and a starving fnmily, When steady
work and good wages were never better
are'- you not quite oBhamod of your
selves? Are you not about tired of being
so fooled? An Individual Operator.

MISTAKEN.
From the Wllkes-Barro Eecord.
The Philadelphia Record remarks that
"probably Hon. William Connell, who has
been renominated for congress in the
Lackawanna district, has moro money
than Professor Howell, his Democratic
opponent; but what the latter lacks In
cash he can make good In brains." The
man who assumes that William Connell

THE SONG OF THE SEA GULL.
Fly high, fly low, as swift we go
Above tho billow's crest with snow;
With tireless wing we onward swing,
To seek the food tho waters bring;
For Oho above our needs will know.
Through summer's airs so soft, so slow;
Through autumn's blasts and tornado,
We, circling still, on sweeping wing
Fly high, fly low.
Through tho flerco storms that winters
bring,
When from tho north tho wild gales sing,
Above the ico and through the snow
With dauntless breasts we face the blow,
Or, sweeping on the tempest's wing,
Fly high, fly low.
