AoIo AoV lin WISH tue various state prlS-
ons, jails, poorhouses, ETC., and see how the
Jews are represented in proportion to their
number, and he may perhaps learn some
thing, IT ne has got any reasoning powers
left.
There are, besides the Jews, great many
other people at Manhattan beach; some very
refined gentlemen who were the presidents
and directors of broken banks, and who are
interested in bogus concerns. Also, very ac-
complished ladies, who wear diamonds, but
whose morals are sadly deficient. Why
does Palo Pintro find no objections to
them? How many gamblers and intoxicated
Jews does he find among the guests of Man
haitian beach? Let him give tho exact num-
BET. He complains of the dress of the Jews,
but it Is not everything gold that glitters
Let him sweep before his own door before he
directs his attention elsewhere. Every can
did observer of the peculiar traits of charac-
ter of the Israelltes will admit that they are
very careful in their attire and bodily clean
Illness. Their residences are models of neat
ness and excellent taste. No disorder of any
kind is tolerated by a true mother in Israel.
She is pointed out ts the model wife in The
last chapter of Proverbs. If Palo Pintro
would leave only his comfortable quarters at
Manhattan beach, where, no doubt, he
has found accommodations free of
charge, for justifying the course of
Mr.. Corbin, and would examine the
many dwellings where Israelites reside, from
the cellar to the garrett, he would find that
the lsraelites, as class, observe every rule
relating to bodily cleanliness. Every SAM
tary regulation is rigidly enforced. In
places where epidemic diseases have pre-
vailed the Israelites have been comparatively
free of the same, because they were temper
ate in their habits, and lived strict moral
life. But Palo Pintro does not like
their social habits. We can also here afford
just comparison with other nationalities,
provided again, he himself is not sole Judge.
There is no doubt in my mind that this
correspondent is everything else but refined.
We must not Judge man by his appearance.
There is an old saying, ''Still waters are the
deepest" This 10 also applicable in social
life. 1t happens quite frequently that we
ind very quiet people among the most vul-
ger and i'll behaved, when it comes to
practical test. Every hotel keeper has a
perfect right to eject from his
quarters every person who trans
crosses the rules and regulations
he has laid down for the guidance of his
guests. No Israelite objects if there are
any of his sect among this number, for we
shield no one in his wrong course of action
We enter only our protest, that we are held
responsible for the short comings of q few.
1t is shame and disgrace in republican
government and to the people, the descend
ants of Washington, jefferson, Franklin,
Patrick Henry and many others of the illus
trlous sires of the revolution, who resolved
against British tyranny and nobly fought the
battle Of freedom. that such prejudice against
race and nationality is still entertained.
Here thousands of Israelites have came to
enjoy liberty and equality; they have shown
their elevation to see republican institutions.
their loyalty to the States in which they live
by words and deeds. They have been emil
nently law-abiding people, industrious, en-
terprising, frugal and preserving in every
branch of industry. Where they have
failed others did not succeed. This has
caused in many cases jealousy and hatred to
q great extent.
True religion teaches love and union, but
it seems great work is to be done yet to
bring about q change for the better. Not
he who exclaimed, II thank the Lord that
am not 30 wicked as other people, but he
who exclaimed, Good have mercy upon me
poor sinner" was the one we should initiate.
The Jews pursue quietly their different
avocatlons, let others alone, are liberal, char
table and kind to all, but it seems they are
not to be left alone. Shall we care for it?
answer emphatically -not the least. There
is better time coming. There are no re
Progressive steps perceptible in history, and
surely it will not occur in the United States.
The press, that mighty lever of progress, is
as class liberal, and it is to be regretted
that such q letter as the one which Palo
Pintro- has written to the Pioneer Press
should be accepted in its columns. The
lsraelites have, however, good memories, and
the sooner we know our foes the better it is
for our guidance in the future.
