A MISTAKE.
A mistake is often made by persons in
need of medical treatment in not placing
their case into the hands of a specialist
as it stands to reason that a doctor mak-
ing a specialty of a certain line of diseases
Is more competent than the family physi-
cian or general practitioner who tries to
cover the whole field of Medicine and
Surgery. Dr. J. N. HATHAWAY of
this city is a true specialist in his lint.
A regular graduate from one of the b< st
colleges in America as his diploma shows
he also has had large experience in leads
fng hospitals and at Hot Springs. Ark.
therefore if you seek his advice you are
ture of getting the BEST.

A Prominent Hebrew Carnes to the
Defense of the Government.—
The IsraeHtles Themselves
Said .Not to Desire Appeals
In Their Behalf.
New York April 7.—A writer to
the Herald from St. Petersburg
under date of March 21 says:
“The London Times is on the Jew-
ish question no more to be believed
than it was when it sought to fasten
the taint of murder upon Mr. Parnell
ou the strength of the uninvestigated
forgeries of an obscure mercenary.
In the sense in which the British
press raised the issue the Jewish
question does not exist. It is a myth.
The condition of the Jew’s in
the empire is hard and so is the
helpless German peasantry. But there
is no spirit of cruelty or persecution
in the Czar and government and
there Is nothing that warrants out-
side interference. The Jews of Russia
themselves protest against the false-
hoods and exaggerations that have
been spread broadcast throughout
the civilized world. They denounce
the Times as an enemy makiugcapital
at their expense. Inorder to get at
an authoritative statement from the
Russian Jews I went to the house of
a Jew who is the foremost man of
hie race in St. Petersburg. He is a
man of wealth wide experience and
unswerving loyalty to the Jew-
ish faith. He is also the most im-
portant member of the St Peters-
bug congration and stands at the
head of the builders of the colosal
new synagogue. I was accompanied
by Dn Crawford the United States
consul general who at my request
courteously assisted in bringing about
the meeting. This representative
of the Jewish people made his state-
ment in the presence of the consul
general speaking freely on the
understanding that his name was not
to be used.
“The Jews of Russia wish no out-
side appeal in their behalf.” he said
“they do more harm than good. Pro-
tests from England or America are
unwarranted because there is noth-
ing in the situation that cannot fair
ly be considered the domestic buft-
ness of Russia. The exaggerations
of the Times have greatly injured our
cause and the Guild Hall memorials
to the Czar is regarded by those who
have the interest of the Jews at
heart as a foolish although well
meaut piece of interference.”

“Is it a fact that the special treat-
ment of Jews in Russia is due to a
spirit of religious persecution?”
“Of course religion has something
to do with it but on the whole that
is not the explanation. The grounds
upon the whole that is not the ex-
planation. The grounds upon which
those who are in favor of the special
laws relating to Jews proceeds are
not religious so much as economical.
They point to the fact that the Jews
are keen business people and well
educated as a rule and that they
are increasing by births three times
as fast as the rest of the Russians.”
“Is it true that the Jews are In-
creasing so Russia?”
“It is true: and the anti-Semites de-
clare that unless care is taken to hold
back our people they will overt un
and overwhelm the Slav race. They
fear that the Jews will get such con-
trol that after a while that by natural
increase they will put the Slavs in a
secondary place and reduce them to a
sort of bondage.”
“And it is that idea that generally
inspires the repressive laws of which
the Jews complain?”
“That is it ”
“Do you think the Czar h»s any
feeling of hatred for tne Jews?”
“Not at all. The Czar is a kindly
natured honest and manly monarch.
He aims to raise his country very
high. We would be willing to leave
our cause in his hands.”
“How can help be extended to you—-
practical help?”
“None can come from the outside.
The agitation must begin among the
Slavs right here in Russia. My own
idea is that the best way to deal with
the question is for the Russian gov-
ernment to repeal all the restrictive
laws and then triple or quadruple the
penalties for all crimes that are sup-
posed to be specialties of Jews. For
instance Ihe crime of usury might be
punished by ten or fifteen or thirty
years’ imprisonment.”
“But the government asserts no
matter what the law meaut. Jews
manage to gat around them in some
technical or sort of way and plunder
the stupid peasantry.”
“Wtll assuming that to be the
truth let the government deal only
with those who are guilty of such
excesses. There must be some way
of framing a law that will catch the
guilty.”
“Is it not true that the Russian
Jews are living undisturbed in Great
Russia without any legal right to do
so?”
“Yes I admit that it is quite cor-
rect but these people are nominally
merchants of the first guild or arti-
sans. On the other hand the police
frequently expel from St. Petersburg
artisans who really have a right here
on the thin charge that they were not
found working at their trade when
the police visitation was made.”
“Does the central government en-
dorse such acts ?”
“I suppose not. They are the acts
of subordinates.”
“And is it all true that the policy
of the government is one of brutal
RUSSIAN JEWS.
persecution ?”
"No.”
“Is it true that any positive cruelty
is shown in the forcement of these
special laws?”
"Here and there—yes. Last year
for instance a governor of one of the
fifteen provinces where Jews are per-
mitted to live put an anti Semetic
official in the control of a town on the
border. You know that Jews are ac-
cused of being such incurable smug-
glers that they are not permitted
within fifty versts of the frontier. This
official discovered that the town
had gradually grown until 9000 of
its inhabitants were living on the
wrong side of the restrictive line. In
other words these people were living
on the ground forbidden to Jews.
The official gave these people notice
that they must leave outright and
get inside of the line within two
weeks. Think of the ruin and suf-
fering and of the outcry from these
bewildered unfortunates.”
"And so they were all turned out
of house and home?”
“Well know.”
"How did it end?”
"The central government inter-
fered.”
"That officer was too zealous?”
"It appears so; but I also think the
central government must have winked
at the proceedings in the beginning.”
“What makes you think so?”
"It is simply my suspicion.”
“Why are Jews not permitted to be
officers in the army?”
"Because it is a Russian officer’s
duty to see that his soldiers pray
every morning. A Jew could not
very well command his Christian
subordinates to do that—at least that
is what the Russians say.”
"Is the land in the Jewish pale
good or bad; is it productive and
pleasant to live in or otherwise?”
"It is the finest in the Russian
empire; no one will deny that.”
“Can you suggest any movement
that will really help the cause of the
Jews at present?”
"Yes. If some great Slav would
write another "Uncle Tom’s Cabin”
it would start an agitation in Russia.
But as I said before outside influence
would do us more harm than good.
This is not a simple problem. The
Russian government hae a very com-
plicated question to deal with. We
are grateful to all who have sympath-
ized with us but it is the Czar who
will finally see a way to giving ue a
larger measure of liberty.”
There you have the vital pointe of
the case given by a man who speaks
for the Jewish people. One cool-
headed conservative man like this
can do more to help the Jews than
all the penny-a-liners in England.
Russia is particularly warm-hearted
to Americans and American Jews
may come here without let or hin-
drance. The Russian government
lets American Jews alone because
they are different from Russian Jews
Under the law American Jews are
subject to the genera) restriction but
the government makes the very ease
an exception. The Russian Jew and
the American Jew as a rule are not
to be classed together. And those of
us in America who are perfectly can-
did have only to examine the evi-
dence on that point in our own laud
to appreciate tbe folly of attempting
to give advice to the one man of all
others in the world who is interested
in protecting his 7000000 Jewish
subjects without interfering with the
supreme ambition of his race the
solidification of the Slav race with one
language and one flag from Arch-
angel to Odessa and from the Baltic
and Behring Sea.
