lent arguments. Besides pointing out
some formal, and perhaps fatal, defects
in the Indictment, an unqualified denial
was given to the statement that Arnstein
had rendered an apology to Istoczy.
The appellant, it was stated, did not
wish to excite any agitation in view OF
the coming elections, and was thus anxi-
Gus that the dispute should be settled
peacefully, rather than by making it
public transaction, it should attract the
notice of the press, and, through the
press, that of the country. Further, it
could not be alleged that Istoczy honor
had been insulted, since man who pro
NOTED discord, and who melted the ma
.iority Of the people to hate and perse-
cute an entire section OF the population
could hardly be said to enjoy univeral
esteem. We are anxious to know whe-
ther the Court of Appeal will coincide
with these views as advanced by Advo-
cate Feldmann, and thus squash the con
viction Of Herr Arnstein. Meanwhile
lstoczy has been reelected as member
for Rum in the Hun garian Chamber of
Deputies, and it therefore becomes diff
cult for the Judges of Appeal to declare
that Il member of the Chamber is not a
universally respected individual. 1t is
consequently expected that the judg-
ment Of the Court below will be upheld,
as the Court of Appeal is placed in q
fix and cannot help itself.

Josef Engel greatly t.as}ished him

he received unive III -vgsultlon of his
talent. In order to retain the relics of
his modest apartments, a special room,
known by the name Of the Deak room,
has been set apart in the National Mu-
scum of Hungary,i in which are collected
the various objects of interest which
once belonged to this great man. It has
fallen to the lot of Jewish journalist,
Herr s. Singer, the correspondent of the
Neuen Frete Presse, of Vienna, to give
to the world the most valuable and com
plete description of this room. His ar
tlcle was written in a villa, tablet on
the wall Of which announces the fact
that it was here that Deak spent the last
summer before his death. The owner of
this villa and the originator of this
token of pious remembrance is likewise
jew.
More important and more lasting still
than these memories of Deak, are the
exertions Of two other Jews, who are
occupied inserecting Deak's literary me
mortal. Leo Veigelsberg, co-editor of
the most important German newspaper
in Hungary, the Poster Lloyd, is about
to publish at Cotta's work in two
volumes, which will comprise the first
really great and fundamental biography
of Deak and of his political worth With
the exception of little book by Csen-
gerry, the Hungarians have hitherto been
made to point to any prominent work in
their literature concerning Deak, so that
the memoir of the Hungarian statesman
written by an English lady, was soon
translated into the national language
The fact that the Jew Veigelsberg will
send abroad the first important German
work on Deak will not fail to attract
most favorable notice in this country it
self Not less welcome event will be
the publication Of the work on which
Emanuel Konyi, the Chief of the Steno-
graphical Bureau of the Diet, is engaged
This energetic and distinguished core
igionist was invited to collect Deak'S
speeches in parliament, and to publish
them, together with a quantity of the
patriots hitherto imprinted letters.
Both works are already in the press.
These are facts which prove in the most
convincing manner that the Jews take
their due share in the political life OF
their country, and that they earnestly
strive to increase its greatness. Against
this even Victor lstoczy is powerless.
