culiar social habits and customs and resis-
ion that they should be somewhat clannish,
but such is the case with every class of for
eigners in q strange land and among
strange people. So far as the charge OF
selfish aud grasping spirit in money mat
teri is concerned, the Jew is no worse than
the average American, from Maine to Cali
fornia, for if there is one trait that is devel-
oped in the American above another, 1t is
the feverish pursuit of and worship OF gold.
He will have to be truly a soulless Jew who
will surpass the American in this pariicu-
lar. On the other hand, this race is sineu-
larly correct in the observance of the laws
is thrifty and full of enterprise and are
among the best and most prosperous citi'
zens, as class, that we have
in the country. Opposition to
them and hate towards them are
therefore very foolish as well as unjust II
thew were as race, ignorant and vicious,
paupers and law-breakers, there would be
some sense and justice in giving form and
publicity to prejudices against them, but as
the reverse is true, the publication OF such
communications as those Of WILKEsoN is not
only causelessly unkind and unjust to large
body OF law.abiding, thrifty and prosperous
citizens of this country, but is calculated to
widen and intensity narrow race preiudices
that will exist III certais order OF minds, to
the detriment Of the country and the dis
credit of our claims as the home OF the
oppressed of all nations. We boast OF eur
freedom and spirit OF brotherhood
with all peoples and invite the stranger into
our midst with the assurance that here he
can live happily, successfully and removed
from race preiudices, under vine and Ag
tree as much his own as are those of the
native sons of the soil, and to fan u hatred
or give extensive publicity to expressions
| nimical to any one class of citizens, simply
by reason of their nationality or nativity,
or race, is contrary to the spirit Of our insti-
tutions, contrary to the enlightenment Of
the day, aud unwise and unjust AZ Il policy.
Let the Jew, in the estimation of the public,
be all that the American is, until he him
self shall render himself so vicious and
obnoxious Us n citizen that he cannot longer
be endured. We ARE satisfied that such @
time has not arrived, and will not.

WASHINGTON, September 25.-An

made Of them. The stamps we're very
much stained, aud in some cases torn,
and looked very much as if they had
been laid away among some old papers.
He was told the stamps could not be
redeemed, as the government did not
hold itself responsible to this extent
any more than it did for the fractional
silver currency. The stamps, he said,
would be received in payment OF post.

News Dealers Kicking Against

news dealers, factor hitherto uncon-

papers, are beginning to move AGAINST
the reduction in their profits, as the
quoted prices Of various papers ha
dropped their commission, and have
decreased dealers commission, which
before the epidemic set in, ranged
from ! to | ! cents on each paper. II
now ranges from ] to cent. The
most unsatisfactory feature Of all is
that outside Of the city newsboys will,
as dealers insist, sell all papers at
about the same price as before, aud
that neither newspaper proprietors
nor ther patrons get the
slightest advantage on acA
count Of the drop in prices
Last night the East Side newsdealers
held an indignation meeting and sixty
OF them signed a pledge to sell at l8 to
70 cents per week, The papers that
have made a reduction to West Side
dealers met to-night and struck against
reduced commissions, and bids fair to
spread. 1t is by no means impossible
that this action Of middlemen may
check the Generalization in rates, and
even bring about restoration Of old
prices.
