The Paris correspondent of the London
Tablet (Roman Catholic says: The Union
Generate was avowedly started in opposition
to the Jewish monopoly of capital, which has
made the Jews master of the money markets
of Europe. The Emperor of Austria, whole
territories of whose empire are in the hands
of the Jews, commercially as well as fnan-
cially, lent his countenance and his capital to
the scheme, and the position of State bank
ers was taken from Messrs Rothschild and
given to Messrs. Bontoux & Co. Now there
is a great outcry against the Jews for bring
ing about calamity which has sent thou
sands of worthy families into trouble. Those
who expected Israel to let itself be supplant.
ed in its gains and profits and vested inter
ests, without making a fight for them, are
like the man in the fable who exclaims:
This is an ill-disposed animal; when he is
attacked, he defends himself"
Dom Piatt tells how he made Senator Pen
dleton prominent candidate for the presl-
dency. Washington Mclean of Ohio came
to New York hoping to impress the Demoe-
racy of that State with the availability of
Gentleman George. Dom was correspond
ing for the Cincinnati Commercial, and Nc
Lean wanted him to get an editorial in the
Herald favoring Pendleton. "My FRIEND
responded Piatt, "you don't want an editori-
al praising Pendleton in the Herald; you
want a bitter personal attack on him in the
Tribune. There is more power in the attack
than in the praise. I wrote the editorial,
and rather exhausted my store of genteel Vi
tuperation while dwelling upon the copper
head character of this dangerous man.
Through Horace Greeley I had my attack
duly published. The Democratic press was
not slow to reply, and the eulogies swung up
to the level of the abuse, and my friends had
the comfort of seeing their candidate in
few days at the front"
Those who believe that we are again build
ing railroads too fast will find support of
their belief in the record of railroad building
for the last year. The figures show that the
construction in 1881 was larger than in any
other year on record, including 25S different
lines of track, and aggregating s, 242 miles.
In 1880, when there was constructed larger
mileage of track than in any year excepting
1871, the record was but 7,174. Texas leads
all the States and Territories in which rail
road building was done last year, her record
being 1,411 miles. Five hundred miles of
new road were built in Iowa. The building
operations in some of the other States and
Territories were as follows: Maryland, %
miles only; Georgia, 543 Alabama, IA Ar
kansas, 100 Florida, 1903; Kentucky, 1881
Louisiana, 236; Missouri, 229; Mississippi,
60; North Carolina, 149; South Carolina, 81
Tennessee, 81 !; Virginia, 273; while Dakota
and Ohio each had between 400 and 500 miles
of track built during the year. About IA per
cent of all the tracks laid were the narrow
gauge variety.
At mass meeting of the Hebrews of
Brooklyn Sunday afternoon Mr.. Adolph l..
Sanger, of New York. gave some account of
the origin of the movement in behalf of the
suffering Hebrews in Russia and the extent
to which it had been developed. Within the
last few months the arrivals had not, he said.
probably fallen short of 5000, and within
the next three or four months, from all tbs
society could learn, at least 700, and prob
ably not less than 10000, Jewish refugees
would be landed upon our shores In compar-
alive restitution; some of them in state
bordering upon starvation; many sick,
weary, discouraged and hopeless-strangers
in a strange country. Mr.. Sanger rehearsed
the origin and history of the Russian Emil
grant Aid society, which was established only
a little while ago to assist these refugees in
finding employment, and to give them new
start in life. He paid a tribute to the iber-
ality of leading clergymen and laymen of
other denominations in New York. who, he
said, although of a different race and differ
ent faith, had not only contributed literally
of their own means, but had volunteered to
assist in obtaining subscriptions. No less than
$50, 900 had been raised within the last four
or five days by the combined efforts
of men of different denominations but
what they required was fund of at least
$780, 600 to carry out the purposes for which
the society was laboring. 1t was not pro-
posed to give away this money in aims, but
to employ the major part in organizing the
means of obtaining employment for the able
bodied, eolonizing' those who were trained in
agricultural pursuits and building up homes
for those who had been rendered homeless
by Russian bigotry and barbarism. Of
course, the wants of the starving and desti-
tute would be relieved, bat the organization
had a larger scope than to be the mere almo-
ner of subscribers to the fund
