The Jewish Chronicle, OF London, OBJ
serves that there have been three stages
in the modern views about Jews To the
medieval mind, the Jew was outside Of
Christendom. and, therefore. in larger
measure, outside Of humanity. Shake
speare's broad sympathy overcame this
narrowness. and he gives to his portrait
of shyIock many human touches--his
loving memory Of his wife in particular
which brings the Jew once more within
the circle of humanity. The next stage
Of revolt, from the medieval estimate Of
Judaism; isformed by Lessing's "Nathan
der -Veise. Leasing had one advantage
over, Shakespeare; he possessed the
friendship Of one Of Judaism's greatest
men. IT is no secret that Moses Men.
delssolin was the original Of "the Jew
that Leasing drew, " and we accordingly
find in !" Nathan der Weise" the Jew ad.
nitted to the full rights of humanity.
!. With the writer whose death all are now
lamenting, the final stage Of recognition
has'been reached. "George Elliot" puts
in claim for Jews at the bar Of History
that they should rank with the foremost
nations OF the earth, and vindicates for
them once more tho long derided title of
the "Chosen People" Throughout
Daniel Deronda, it is recognized that
the jews have special gifts unshared by
other nations, and qualifying them for
aunique position among the nations.

State, Controller Hallock, who receives
nice snug salary and has deputy to do
the labor Of his office, seems to be terribly
exercised over the rates charged by news.
papers for State advertising, and suggests
a reduction equal to Chinanen's wages
for all such work. Yet this same worthy
Controller does not scruple at charging
the State outrageously high prices for
what little extra work he performs for
the State. He objects to tho newspapers
receiving 4 fair compensation for notices
published by them for the State; but the
following paragraph shows that Mr.. Hal.
lock il determined to secure as much Of
the States money as he possibly can, and
his conscience is not at all troubled in
doing so: st@f ~
