THE LAND OF THE JEW. ;

to America from Knsata tome

from Poland. They are of a far lower class than any Jew* w# have ever had, and they are by no means popular Here. Of ail Poland 13 per eoat of the people nr* Jew*, and yet find Jewish colonies is tU the large cities of Bneeia. They generally have a quarter and a market of their own, and they are sharper than tb* Bomisn in their dealings end take advantage of ‘' *

pheity, bi* extravagance aud his loeky way of life. The result is

after e Polish Jew settles in n Russian' be has a martgage on half the property belonsriag to it, and the simple peasant* cannot understand Ahat bo go* thin, to a certain extent, legitimately. This ta. I am told, la e greet measure the cease of toe unpopularity of tb* Jews in Roseia aad the reason for their expulsion from toe counter. There is e lew in Rossia that a Jew, onleea be is aa artisan, may be retained to be place where be wa* born in ease he has removed from it and baa become obnoxioe* to any of tbe people of bis new home. Onr consol general at St. Petersburg tells me tb* Jew* who bare gone to America have not been expelled from Russia, bat have been ordered by the government back to Poland or to toe other Rossiao places of their nativity. America they look upon as th* land of gold for all, and instead of going back from whence they came they go on through and ssul for the United State*. Th* Csar is a genuine Russian, with a

great love for bis own people,

way he protects them. Ax to tbe ernelttes of the offic ais, there is probably ranch rthAt i* true in the stories to that effect, for : th* Rossian is still half barbarous and hi* idea* of punishment are more crnel than onrs. 1 am told that a great number of Jews are preparing to go to the United States, and that applications for passports and questions concerning their emigration eom* to the ears of onr officiate hare daily.

IN 8T. PETERSBURG.

I wish I could give yon a stercopticon view of St Petersburg. It if one of toe ( jeerest, one of tbe fastest, one of tbe gayest, and by all odds th* most unique capital of tbe world. Lying as it does, on the great Gulf of Pin land, a river as wide as the Mississippi at Sfc Louis runs through it, and great canals cat it up so that it looks like a second Venice, it it a city qf wide streets, of big three, four, and tiv#-story flats; of vast palaces, many of which cover acres; of a multitude of gorgeous churches, of great schools, of art galleries, of factories, and the thousand and one other features which make up the capital of the greatest empire on the globe. Yon have heard the storv of its building. I stood yesterday in the log bat that Peter the Great built on the awamp here when he decided that be wonld make ibis point bis capital. All this was a forest, a marsh aad a wilderness. Tb* Roesia of that day, as tbe Russia of this, was in the interior^ but Peter decided be wanted to have his capital where he conld look out upon Europe, and be called St. Petersburg bis window, and, like Aladdin, he made it rise upon the mud in almost a night. He made every noble in the empire boild a beuee here*. Every boat on th* Baltic and tbe Russian rivers had to draw a load of stone to the city, and 40,000 men worked vear in and year out till the great capital roae. Fully a generation after New York was founded the wolves howled in the wilderness on th* site of St. Petersburg; now * city of stone and brick twenty-five miles in eirenmferenee floats here, as it were^uiost upon the waters, and 100,000,000 heads bow down to this as tb* seat of their ruler. Pile* by the millions have been driven down to make foundations. Tbe great river Neva is walled for miles with granite docks, and all the streets are paved. Our public buildmgi at Waahiogtoo are large, but those of

Russia cover far greater areas.

Tbe only things that compare with them are tbe mammoth struotnres of tb* Cbicego Exposition, and, as to the churches here, one of them, St. Isaao’s Cathedral, has cost nearly $20,000,000. or as much as will be the total outlay of the Exposition. There are •tber churches nearly as expensive, aad the whole oily ha* been bnilt without regard to oosL It is almost a Sabbath day’s journey to go through some of these palaces. The winter palace, on the hauks o! the Neva, would spoil the area of a ten-acre field, and its corridors, if stretched out, would reach miles. There is a tradition that some of the unused rooms were turned into a barn-yard by the servants in years past, and that when tbe palace ono# burned a cow was hanled out with the furniture. It is the same with private houses. The people Hr* in flats, and theto flats Wke up in area what they lack in bight. It takes nearly a square for the ordinary house, and tbe Hotel de Europe, whe/e I am etopping, has balls which seem to be a mile long, end I lose myself again and again going to my room. The business blocks are big, aad there it a great basar tiers, where hundreds ot merchants have stores facing a vaulted arcade, whieh covers a vast area, aad which is thronged from morning till midnight with thousands

of shoppers.

THE NEVKKI AND ITS HOBBES. The finest street ot tit. Peterskurg ia the

pot toe bed of the rig about a foot from toe ground, yon would have the body of too beat sort of droechky. If yo» wish tho poorer clam you most take off th* book and bav* a fair sample of the 21,000 cabs which flr day and night along these Russian streets. The droechky horse* are quite as carious as the vehicles they pull, and their drivers are enuallr strange. The horses

to be harnessed with toonga, and you could eat the whole onto! out of a pair of Russian top boots. There are no tags and no cruppers, and toe droschky shafts are tied to r yoke which goes tfotud the horse's seek, and over which stands a great wooden bow two feet high, to which the bridle is fastened, reining toe how# well up. Th* shafts are fastened directly to the axles of the front wheels, and the driver has woven reins. Tb* drivers are invariably Russtana. and they apeak ae English. They dre»e ia long, blue Mothei Hubbard eoats, which reach to their feet and which are belted in at the waist with bright belt*. They wear black bate, which look like inverted spittoooa, and they all pad themselves to make them look fat. They are as good-natured Jehus as von will find anywhere, and yon ean hire tbe best of them

for about 50 cent* an hoar. Frank G. Carpenter.

To th* Editor of Th# IndtanaDOlta Nears: In commenting on the labor troubles in Pennsylvania and the West you, with many other periodicals, aa well aa many Influential men, euggeet arbitration aa the only aatiafactory tneana of settlement. 1’oan very readily see how arbitrators can adjust questions growing out of a contract alleged to have been entered into in the past by to# parties to a controverty—they may ascertain and decide from evidence adduced—whether there has been a contract lawful in iU terms and inception; whether or not it baa been violated and by whom, and what damage the injured party has sustained by the breech thereof. But how a board of arbitrators are to be invested with authority to determine what contracts parties shall make with each other, or, what is equivalent, upon what terms an expired contract shall be renewed or continued, I confess I am unable to see. Have not both the owners and employes the right to make the most iavorable contracts thev can, and upon the expiration thereof by limitation to renew on the best terms they can obtain or refuse to contioneat all unless satisfactory terms can be

reached ?

Shall the law create boards to make contracts for men or corporations, and then organize coarts to enforce them? If this board of arbitration shall decide that the men shall worn for $2 per day, will this same board see that the world’s markets furnish him a living at tbe same figure, and then prescribe his manner of living in order that be does not go beyond that fignre? If they decide that the company shall pay the laborer $4 per day, shaU they also determine how much of the time the mills shall be run? Shall they also determine the price the jobbers or oousumers shall pay them for the output, and that their demands shall be equal to tbe supply pro-

duced?

These questions are all more or less dependent one upon the other, and the fixing by law or arbitration of tbe wages of laborers also calls for the fixing by the same instrumentalities the conditions that will enable him to Jive comfortably and lay by something for old age or sickness on such amount, and the fixing by law or arbitration the wages that the manufactnrer shall pav, also involves the fixing by the same instrumentalities the conditioas of price, supply and demand that will render capital and skill in its application remunerative at such wages. The whole question of arbitration is iraught with difficulties. How could the swards be enforced? Suppose the laborers refuse to work at the figures-named in the award, are tbe court* to enforce a performance soeoificaily by mandate? Can they cun pel them to bestow that skill and careful attention that will secure the beet results? And if one of the number finds he can not perform the work by reason of sickness or feebleness, er desires to embark in other enterprises, must be apply to the court or board of arbitration for a dissolution or modification ef the mandate or award? If the manufacturer finds he is losing money, or overproducing, shall he apply to toe court and make an exhibit of his doings a* a receiver, and get permission to shat down, run on short time or discharge some of his

employes?

In ease the Coart or arbitrators, by an honest mistake or failure to anticipate a bad market, should make a mistake in re-

uest of thie kind, and insolv-

eucy should result involving ruinous loss to manufacturers, laborers and creditors, can this same board of arbitrators use their pacific authority a* a panacea for ail, and from this self-same cornucopia poor corn into the mouths of the hungry workmen, wine on the flagging ambition of the factory owner and oil into the wounded wallet

of bis creditor?

I think, upon a full investigation of the matter, it will be found that arbitratkmwill prove unsatisfactory, exeept as a mere tem-

porary expedient.

1 fully agree with Mr. Jerome Ragsdale that the imnortation of foreign laborer* should be stopped at once, and if any further legislation is necessary to enable laborers to enforce their rights, let it ba given speedily and effectively; but to permit either capital or labor to assert its demands by physical force and tha unlawful destruction or occupany of property must be subversive of all property rights and must cod in anarchy.

The pavements or sidewalke are ot flagstones. Tbe center of the street, where tbe double deckers of street cars go, are of cobblestones, and bn either side of this there is a wide strip of wood for driving. The wooden pavement is made of octagonal blocks of pine about six inches thick and five inches in diameter set fiat on a base of planks, which rest on great logs sunken intu the street.
