Jews US was made al some ofour fash
ionable American watering-plsees last
year. Ga the contrary the hostile
feeling is chiefly o~ccasioned by the
fact that a larger proportion
Of them are educated, we'll
to.do and possessed of social and po-
~litical influence than Of the German
element. Professor Treitschke says
that in a few years every tenth edu-
Gated man will be a jew, for that is
the proportion, of Jews to non-Jews
in the higher institutions OF
learning, although the proportion of
the Hebrew element in the pop
ulation to other elements is only one
TO s%eventy-ive. In fact, the essence
of the complaint is that the Jews not
only have more children, but educate
them better and know how to acquire
wealth and station better than the
genuine Teutons.
The anti Semitic agitation, as its
friends term it (its opponents apply
the appropriate old German word
Judenhetze), has for its purpose the
exclusion Of Jews from clubs, social
circles, public Offices and important
business trusts. How unreasonable,
uncharitable and antagonistic to the
spirit Of the age it is we need not stop
to discuss, further than to say
that it will occur to every sensible
mar that if the German race cannot
hold its own against the competition
of a small minority Of ~lsraelites whose
nationality is more or less a bar to
their advancement even in the most
liberal portions of the empire, it de-
serves to 20 under. 1t is gratifying
to learn that the German crown
prince has placed himself square
" in opposition to this absurd
movement. At a concert for chart
table purposes last month Of the jew
ish Cultushalle in Berlin. the en-
peror, the empress, the crown prince
and his wife, and other members Of
the imperial family. publicly
declared by their presence that they
have no sympathy with the pcrsecu
ton; and the day before the event the
crown prince said to Councillor
Magnus that he desired by his attend
ance at the synagogue concert to show
his unqualified opposition to the hos
tile movement against the Jews.

continued. There | first read the
news of the anti Semitic agitation in
Berlin. The feeling l had was one Of
shame that such things could occur in
Germany"

he is only clinging more desper-

Our Coming Beauties Are Asby
BIOndes-C OIOrs and Conn
pIaziOns-The Most Adj
mired TINT OF
Hair.
Cincinnati GsGette.l

Oinolnnati Gssette.l
The coming beauty is Of the ashy
blonde type, and If nature has not
blessed her with drab. colored hair,
she has recourse TO "diapoline,' the
latest triumph of the dyer's art, to
produce the desired tint. This tint of
nair naturally accompanies a wretched
complexion, but if the tints of the
face are bright and clear it is capable
of very picturesque effects, and artists
are very much enamored OF it.
These accomplished students Of eff
fects are liberal in their allotment of
eolors suited to the ashy blondes.
They say that women who are placed
so to speak, in the halt shades of
color, may wear either what suits
brunettes or blondes, provided the
tones of their dress and ornaments be
subdued in proportion to the degree
of warmth in their compilations. Pure
yellow or deep red must not be worn
with pale chestnut hair, but half tints,
such as pale yellow. maize, deepyellOw
turquoise blue, and hazy blue, harmon
iEe perfectly with the neutral charae-
ter of these natural colors.
Those who have ash colored hair
and skin in keeping with it, eyes blue
as the sea, OF with a sea green light in
them, their delicate and extreme soft
ness calls for half warm tints, with
suggestions of neutral gray and slash
ings Of pale blue. Black velvet gives
them fairness without detracting from
the distinction and delicacy which are
tho characteristics Of their COM
plexion. Pearls are the ornaments in
happy consonanee with the new
beauty's coloring, aud it is remarked
that triple strings Of Roman pearl
worn closely about the throat are often
seen, but the fair women should re-
lieve their cold color by one that is
decided and concentrated within a
small space, such as a polished but
uncut garnet, a ruby, or a pendant of
iusterless gold.
This tint Of hair, now so much fan
eled abrJad, has not a tlnge OF Auburn
or gold 10 it, but is unmitigated tow
oeler. French women with an eye to
the picturesque, calmly bleech their
hair to this envied tint, and it is un.
deniably piquant with dark eyes and
complexion. These the French call
tres blondes, and those c6nscienceless
Parisiennes are accused of very free
use Of the harmless crayon in darken-
ing eyebrows and light lashes to the
proper tint. This pale hair should be
dressed in abundant frizzes orrippling
waves, whether piled high or shadow
ing the brow, OK carried back from the
parting on either side to form the low
Greek coil.

The Antt-Jewish Movement ~
Germany.

New YorkssT ~ribuEs.l
The movement against the Hebrews
which began in Germany last summer
has developed to such an extent that
it has become a positive fanatieism
and has carried with it many mintelli
cent people who would seem by
their social position and charac-
Ter to be placed far above
the influence of race or religious pre-
judice. 1t is, perhaps, not surprising
that the reactionary and ultramon-
Zane newspapers should join in the
crusade; but that many liberal organs
should express sympathy for it is a
circumstance which astonishes cool
headed observers in the German
sities. Oneot the journals Of the latter
class, discussing what it calls the great
question OF the future for Eastern
Germany" complains that all the
lower forms Of labor and service il
the workshops, the fields, the ditche.
and the swamps, fall to the lot of the
German element, while the con
stantly increasing Jewish sla.
meut obtains enormous possessions
ia capital aud land. and raise,
itself to power aud influence in every
department Of public life. 40 speak
af the protest against this tendency
says this journal, "in a frivolous fash.
ION, as it it we're a medieval persecu.
lion of the Jews, is to SANDER history
patriotism aud the ideal eoncep
ton Of the nation and ths
Fatherland." Among eminent mel
who have joined in this siDgpla.
and unreasonable movement, is Pro
lesser Treitschke, who says, in th,
last issue of the Prussian Jahrbuch
that the jews are not Germans; tina.
they are incapable Of German patriot

knowledge which made him so for.

ABanyArsps.l

Albany August
To those in New York it is known
to a certainty that, # Blaine were
nominated, Mr.. COnkling would have
an attack Of malarial fever. 1t would
last all through the canvass. The as
sumption Of Mr.. COnkling's cordial
support is simply sarcasm. Mr.. COnk
ling never supports an enemy. His
animosities and his likingS lemper
every word and thought and act ofhis.
He has been in public lite with Blaine
for nearly twenty years. Since Mr..
Blaine intimated that Mr.. Conkling
was not several things Of superlatiye
excellence, Mr.. COnkling has never
spoken to him. They pass by one an
other in the capitol, they meet in eau.
Gus, they have 10 do with the same
measures, they sit side by side in me
cars, and no sign ever escapes Mr..
Conkling that he ever saw or knew or
heard of a man of Maine. They
travelled 100 miles not long ago, the
only occupants of a palace car, and
not a sign Of recognition passed be-
tween them. 1t is not Mr.. Blaine's
fault. He has been willing to make
up long ago. His rage sits as light;
on him as his principles. He is of q
sunny temper, and he has received no
revelation of his iafallibility. But
Mr.. COnkIing's whole nature was
wounded when his vanity was hit by
Mr.. Blaine, in that duel Of tongues
in the house long years ago. If Blaine
was nominated, Mr.. COnkling would
vote a closed electoral ticket, and the
inspectors would find it scratched from
top to bottom.
