a few years ago, when throughout the
civilized world there was great cutlery
against the unspeakable Turks ON account
OF their alleged atrocities in Bulgaria, the
Jewish press, almost without exception,
defended, or at least shielded, the Turks
from the promiscuous and wholesale at
tacks which were made upon them. 1t
seems that the Jews knew what sort of
people the Bulgarians and the inhabit-
ants of the Danubian Principalities gen.
orally are, to say nothing OF the Russians
and Poles; and the Jewish opinion OF
them now being justified to the whole
world by the details that are coming in

and Bulgarian mobs daily perpetrate
upon any Jews on whom they can lay
their hands.

A Washington correspondent to the
Chicago Times says there are fewer OBJ.
stacles in the way of an ambitious orator
in the Senate than in the House, and at
the same time there is less to inspire him.
The Senate is in many respect like a
good.natured debating CLUB. One Scna.
tor gets the floor and he may hold it until
he gets through, if it should take him a
week. Senatorial courtesy, or whatever
it may be, gives him abundance of time,
although it does not in any way feel
called upon to give him attention. l have
time and again seen the Oldest and most
respected Senator reading or speaking ap-
parently for the sole edifcation and ell.
tertainment of Vice President Davis and
the shorthand reporter. The former,
apparently from long habit formed
through years of service on the Bench,
always gives the closest attention to what
is being said, the latter--as a matter Of
business must listen, for that is what he
is paid for. Every one else in the room
would be engaged in writing letters, read.
ing newspapers, or in conversation, and
frequently less than one-quarter of the
Senators would be in their seats.
Speeches so delivered are solely for the
country, fact which is probably true Of
all speeches, as / imagine the Senatorial
judgment is rarely if ever swayed in thi:
way.
