The Persecution Of the Jews.

The newest German crusade-that a.
sainst the Jews-has called out indignant
protests from beth press and pulpit. 1t
is to be hoped that the protests Will do
their work, and end the persecution at
the v-ry beginning Race prescription is
mean, and is unjust 1t visits the sins Of
the wicked upon the innocent, and pun
ishes the guiltless for the crimes of the
guilty. Ii jews or Catholics or Protes-
tauts commit crimes, let them be punish
ed according to law. But the mere fact
than one is n Jew, a Catholic or Protes-
tan. is no indication that he is criminal
The charges made against the Jews IN
Germany at this time do not show the
commission OF specific offences BY them;
At most they only amount to this-that
they do certain things which the law
does not prohi,it, b.,t which the critics OF
The Jews do not like To condemn man
or a race or community because he or
its members do not act in all respects like
their neighbors is sheer and brutal ntol-
erauce. No two individuals If even the
same stock act a'ike. The division of
ten,perment ard act is as universal as, II
not more universal than, the division OF
labor, and the earliest division OF labor
crows out of diversity Of talent. The
most superficial examination of the world s
history shows that all races have contrI-
buted something to the progress nt evil
ization, and it is commonplace that toi-
erancc of .ne peculiarities of Others has
crown with such civilization. That this
tolerance is not mistake, from a mater
ial point of view, is shown by the fact
that The wealth of the world has grown as
the liberty Of individuals has been ex-
tended. II has been demonstrated that
it is more conducive to the general wei
fare as well as safer and better for the
individual permit the largest freedom OF
inactian consistent with obedience to gen
eraI law. Intolerance does not pay. Ana
what is more, it cannot be made to WORK
it is sure TO fail, as Bismarck's attack
on the Catholics failed There Is only
one mode Of making intolerance success
frl, and that ia by killing the persons De
longing II the obnoxious race or process
ing the obnoxious creed Killing, fortu-
nately, cannot be resor'ed to on large
scaie at this time And in its absence IN
tolerance cannot succeed

SAYS the Aaorian of January 1lth
" The sea gives up its dead and the Ger
tainty is now fully established that not a
soul survived the loss of the Lupdtd, one
week ago last night, of Tillamook head
At low tide last Sunday Mr.. Coultrie, the
seaside mail carrier, passed under the
cliff of Tillamook Head, and there found
the CHASTITY remains of twelve men, hve
in one heap and six in another They
were all divested OF clothing, and the
probability is that before leaving the YES
sci they prepared TO take the best ahVan-
tsges possible Of the last chance OF saving
their lives. But alas, the place where
they came in was the most forbIdding
spot along the whole coast, an almost per
pendIcular cliff of rock, against which pos
sibly, if living to reach it, they were
dashed to death or perished in their fu-

in sight from the place where Mr. Couture
found the bodies Our informant, Mr..
Grimes, says the vessel lays about one
mile from the head and one mile from
the lighthouse rock. The bodies will be
given Christian burial, and sharp look

is supposed, from all information which
we have, to have carried fourteen men,
besides Capt. Ravens and his wife. 1t IS

Concerning Dipther.a-

The New York Times publishes an ar
tiele written by DR. Kerr, of Pittsburg,
concerning the true nature of d:ptheria
The pith OF the paper IS condensed in a
Times editorial, from which the following
is taken:
Whatever may be the nature Of the
disease floltin. germ in the air, or
even tendency toward the formation of
false membrane in the throat-in its early
stage, the disease is purely local. The
mem5--.s..lr, which is odinarily spoken Of
as fungus, can be removed by local ap-
pl;catioaS Dr.. Kerr suggests rather
powerful lotion Of hydrochloric acid and
glyco-ine. But the moment the menu
brane forms the patient is threatened with
another and far more dangerous malady.
While this process in the tonsils Is going
on Il Yirulent poison is distilled in the
ueishborhood The secretion, an insig-
niEcant anoun. Of which is enough to I'M
pregnate the system, passes from the
throat iuc the stomach, producing acute
sas.ritis aud thence into the circulation
The system becomes much depressed; the
action If the heart and BRAN IS lowered,
ordinarily to tho verge. and sometimes
to the worst condition OF paralysis. and
TIE patient dies, not as Is supposed, from
asPhvxia, but from the presence OF 4 VIZ

the bodily functions and quenehes the

tient is in this additional plight that his
system cannot with proper treatment re-
ce;ve reinforcement in the way OF new

famed, is unable to assimilate food Tor

taken place or restore energy to throw on

to correspond should not be hard to fnd,
and D.. Kerr meets the symptoms with

named; puts into the stomach simple
