THE CHRISTIAy vs. THE JEW

A Saratoga hotelist has produced a
sensation among white men. The
grand Union Hotel, at this famous
summer resort, is portion of the
Stewart estate and Judge Hilton, in
his official capacity, has decreed that
in the future no lsraclites shall be per.
mltted to occupy rooms at that cstab.
lishment. This information was vouch.
safed to Joseph Seligman, the well
known Jewish banker, of Now York,
who in accordance with his custom
lately took his family to the parlors
and wentto the managcrior the purpose
Of making arrangementsfor rooms. The
distinction sought to bo madc by Mr..
Hilton is not exactly between Jews
and Christians as It is between what
he calls tho Seligman class of Jews
and some othcrs, holding that the
presence of the former Injuries the bust
ness OF the hotel.
Since the constitution Of the United
States was so amended that neither
race, color, nor previous condition was
to be permitted to shut any man from
public accommodations OF any kird
nothing has occurred so remarkable as
this Saratoga exclusion of Jews. The
distinction which Judge Hilton at
tempts to make between different
classes OF lsraelitcs applies TO Gentiles
also, who have their full proportion of
flashy, vulgar ill-brcd people, who fire.
quent springs and watering places and
make themselves just as absurd and
prctentious as is possible for men of
any other race or color. Itis proposed
to call q mass meeting Of lsraeltes in
Now York to protest against the con-
duct Of the hotel men. The better
course would bc to leave the whole
affair TO the public sentiment, which
can take but one view of such intoler.
ance. 1t is strange and Notifying
enough that in this boasted era Of civ
ilization, enlightenment and liberality,
the bigoted and heather spirit of the
dark ages should be manifested, in q
State which claims TO bc the first in
tho Union, towards tho Israelitcs, a
class of the community which has been
characterised by intelligence and pub
lic spirit and domestic virtues, and
some Of whose leading men are among
tho chief statesmen and capitalists of
the world.

THE SA VING HABIT.

Whether it is wholly chargcable to
the lavishness begotten of the war
times, when all industry lost its head
in the wild belief that more rapid
methods had come in, or whether
young men have become inoculated
with sort Of insanity in spending as
fast as they earn, IL is pretty certain
that their ways are not calculated to
lead to the success which was won by
their grandfathers, butt on the contrary
will carry them along only a short
distance in life and land them on rocks
where they will have nothing TO leave
bat theirskeletons. Unless every rule
of thrift and prosperity is suspended,
this proud disdain Of the frugal habit
which fully vindicates itself by It's ro.
suits is as sure to end in poverty and
woe as a due respect for it is sure to
work out solid triumphs. To note the
manner in which young fellows who
arc just earning their first money
throw it about them is anything but
encouraging to those who hope to SEQ
the natives Of tho country its real
masters. Not to put too fine q point
on it, nor yet to lapse into moraliz.
ing strain, II excites tho most lamenta.
bio reflections TO witness the lordly in.
difference Of the most of our young
clerks TO the value Of money, at the
very time when they arc capable Of
earning so little. One can tell at a
glance that all they have got is in
tns;- pockets, though they flirt their
bank notes and jingle their silver like
old bank Presidents. They deceive
nobody, not even one another; the
very men who take their money un-
derstand that they are spending all
they earn, and plcdging tho future
whenever they can, There is no fraud
practiscd except on themselves, and
their first disappointment tells thcm
how badly they have been cheated.

any kind, but every ono must travel

MEXICAN FREAKs.--Our Southern
neighbors are undergoing, as usua
another revolution. Recently the ad
ministration has been supplied with 0
fresh and striking precedent for any
action that may be taken by Genera
Ord in pursuing the Mexican cattle
thieves across tho Rio Grande. Atthe
last Cabinet meeting dispatch was
read from General Sherman, giving an
account Of conflict near the Mexican
border between the force Of President
Diaz and those of Lerdo. The battle
began on the Mexican side, and Lcrdo's
partisans getting the worst of It, had
fled to the American side Of the river,
where they werepursued and attacked
by the forces Of Diaz. Lerdo's forces,
embracing several officers and some
iorty-hve men were eventually pro-
tected and disarmcd by the United
States forces near at hand. For the
present they arc being fed by the
United States Government. General
Sheridan regards them as rather a
hard set and is apparently anxious to
get rid Of them, but the War Depart
ment has directed him to feed these
men until further orders. In the mean
time they are restrained from any ag-
gressiyc act. 1t is obvious that the re-
lations of the Government are becom-
ing more complicated. In this case
Mexican troops have taken the initia-
tive and invaded American soil

no change in affairs the country is
simply waiting to see what the result
will be, whether the colored people
