thought that Mr.. Corbin was unjust and had made a
great mistake. In his experience the jews always
paid their bills promptly and were among his most
remuneratiye customers. He never had any trouble
with them. Parents had come with their children
and staid all summer. Young men had come with
their sweethearts and in all his experience he had
never seen anything offensive or Objectionable in
their conduct.

CLERICAL OPINIONS.
A reporter visited the Rev. w. +. Hatfield of the
Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church. at
his residence. No. 81 West Washington place. Mr..
Hatfield was busy preparing for his summer vaca-
ton, and in consequence he said he had given the
subject attention than he otherwise should have
done. II very much surprised" Mr..
Hatfield remarked, when saw the article
n the HERALD relating to the Jews. and
1 must say that 1 heartily disapprove Of
the whole proceeding. do not like to class dis
tnctions up, whether they relate races or re-
ligions. The effect OF effort at exclusion like
this must be bad-it can not be otherwise. However
much it may be contended that the jewish religion
has nothing to do with this movement the
result is to embitter sectarian differences. and
/ too liberal in my views to look upon the WIDEN
ing of sectarian differences with indifference My
surprise all the greater because thought all
the opposition to the Jews as q class had died out
after the Hilton affair. I very much regret this
thing because heterogeneous people, and
every effort ought to tend toward promoting ami
cable relations between all races and natonalities.

The reporter rectcd the points briefly. and then
