terms "ths extra judicial" attack Of

to refer to It in his speech, and accord
ingly he did 90 In what he regarded, and

he formed too hasty q judgment he must
accept the cspsure due to unintsn-

cludss: with this statement ! submit
my conduct to the candid judgment Of
your readers, but not without express
ing the deep regret which / felt
that unlucky chance should have
brought me where my opinion was asked
in regard to the authenticity Of q letter
which, 80 far 40 I was concerned, was Q
matter OF profound indifference. and in
regard to which I never supposed any
controversy could arise. This regret IL
intensified by the fact that l-rsther
than General Garisld-hsve been the
victim Of the forgery. for be has not.

Of denupciation from the bench 10 O

which I had no hearing before the
Judge, who seemed to confound the
witness with the alleged criminal. l

Garfield to hunt the rascal down. and to
insist that duo punishment shall be
melted out to those who have violated

De Lesseps' Canal Scheme.

New York. December 3.-Ths Times.
In an editorial review Of the Panama
canal prospects, says: There seems lit.
Ito doubt left that q largo amount Of

down to the conclusion to limit the share

to issue bonds for the rest as needed, up
10 the outside limit Of SOC, 1000 francs.
This. together with the fact that interest
at the rate Of five per cent. Is to be paid
on stock subscriptions during the period
OF construction, which 10 estimated at
from six to eight years, Is not altogether

impair confidence in the enterprise In

Misunderstanding rs to How the
Vote or Georgia Shall be Cast.

ATLANTA. December There is =
probability that the vote Of Georgia may
bs lost to Hancock and English. through
q clsshing between the provision OF the
code OF the State governing the action
Of Electors. and the provision OF the
revised statutes Of the United States.
which provides in Section 1876 that the
Electoral College Of the several States
shall meet on the first Wednesday in
December and cast the vote OF the State.
A section OF the Georgia code provides.
however. that the Governor shall notify
the Electors to meet at the capital on the
arst Monday In December, to be ready
ON the Wednesday following to cast the
vote. This the Governor has done. but
the Electors have mo- met today or voted.
and 1t 10 thought by leading officials aud
lawyers here that they have no right to
meet and vote next Wednesday.

The Persecuted Jews In Germany.


CHICAGO, December 3.-Ths Inter Ocean
has interviewed prominent Jews on the
persecution of Jews in Germany, and
fluids q concurrence in the following
points /: That the Jews are a. economi.
cal aud thrifty In Germany as elsewhere,
ard have suffered less from financial de-
preston which now distracts that
country than other clsss,s OF citizens.
After the Franco-P russian war the
country went wild on speculation. The
Jews were moro conservative, aud when
the crash came. better prepared to
weather the storm. and consequently
recovered quickly. This fact provoked
the jealousy and hostility Of the German
people, who truly claimed that the Jews
nearly monopolized the commerce and
finance Of the country. They were also
found to occupy the arst places In liter
allure and learning. and on this account,
too, there was q jealousy which the
government covsrtly iostered. The gov.
ernment's policy 10 to divert, BY this
means. the attention Of the Socialists
from their government against the
throne. The interviewed Hebrews here
say that the Jews in this country can DO
nothing In the premises; but action, u
any. must come from the Christisps.
who should, aud probably will. protest
in the name OF all that 10 fair. decent
and manly in the nineteenth century.
