Here again the facts will not bear
him out. Who can tell of any man
being out of employment who is
willing to labor? How is business
now? The estimated population of
United States is 100000. Count
ing one laboring man to every five
of population, and then making a
proportion between Mr.. EWing's
100000 of unemployed and the
100000 of laborers, the re-
suit shows that out of every four
and one-half men, one must be idle.
The facts are against it, and Proph~

Not long since We published an
account of men preferring paper to

lie, as is well known, was one of the
earliest, best known and most infu-
entail of Southern politicians. In
conversation with a gentleman; the
Judge touched incidentally on poll
tics. lie said that much Of the old
bitterness Of feeling that existed IN
1868 and 1872 still existed among
the Democracy of the South. He
thou ght in Florida and North Caro-
lima the Republicans would organize
on a solid platform and would strug-
gle hard to carry those States in
1880. A disposition was still shown
in the South to awe and int aidate
the negroes. Gen. Grant was the
favorite Of the Southern Republicans
for President, although Secretary
Sherman and Blaine had many sup
porters.
Ex-U United States Senator San.
uel c. Pomeroy, of Kansas, was seen
by reporter, who asked the veteran
politician
"Who are the Kansas RepubI.-
cans talking about for p esident in
1880 2"
"Grant first, last and all the time, -
was the reply.
"And why Grant in preference to
some body else ?
Because he's the strongest man
and the most popular man in
America to-day, and can be elected
Why, bis name is received every
where with outbursts of enthusiasm.
Grants my choice. I think he's
the peoples choice. They want a

RACE PREJUDICE.

"The Jew. must CO." Exceed
ingly like a certain remark of Kear-
ny's, but, nevertheless, having its
foundation upon the rock of truth,
Last year it was Judge Hilton, the
executor of Stewards estate, and
this year it is Corbin, the proprie>
tor of the Manhattan Beach Hotel
that shouts it. These two, as the
authors fondly hoped, terrible edicts
recall very wildly the day histo
ries Of the Middle Ages. One is
brought to think of Water SCOTS
Jew Isaac in Iyanhoe. They bring
up recollections of the days of
knights and ladies'; of the times
when it was popular amusement
among the nobility to draw out the
poor Hebrews teeth one by one, to
tear his flesh with red>hot pincers,
to make him suffer the tortures of
the rack, to break him upon the
wheel, and such little sportiVe faS
miliarities because, for3ooth, he was
base enough to refuse to loan his
money to them when he knew he
would never be repaida cent, either
of principal or interest.
One would naturally suppose, to
hear the delightful twaddle about
the enlightenment of the Nine
teenth Century, and the proud
boast of Americans that in tbs free
country the homeless Of all coun.
tries could find resting place, such
prejudices and race prescriptions
would long have been buried in the
grave of the dark past. When one
would inquire into the cause Of this
prejudice against the Jew he is me
at the very outset by the fact tina
there is none. Its merely senti
ment existing as relic Of the intol
erance of old Catholicism.
In looking over the roll Of grea
men of the past and present, in al
walks of life, Jewish names an
Jewish blood meet US on ever,
hand. Statesmen, authors, fnan
ciers, poets, architects, merchants
artists, and, in feet, everywhere ar
they to be found, and when found
honoring their profession or calling
They are as a race refined, il
dustrious, sober, energetic, an
filled with all the qualities that CON
mand success, It is a shame tina
in this good day they should b
considered, even by small number
of inferior worth. It is a sham
that in this country, where ever
man is, at least theoretically, equi
to every other man, they should b
despised on account Of their origin
The American public can not to
sternly frown down this action {

My only apology in presenting prl-
vate letter To the public is for the purpose
of asking the assistance of all those per-
sons now living the Territory. who were
residents, and particpators in the stirring
scenes during the first period of our history
when the late General Stevens was o,lr
! Governor, to do what his son, Gen. llaz-
ard Stevens, asks me to do. viz: 'to note
down Mt their own convenience. in a SIM

dents rs they may recall from time to
