ropolitan newspapers, which measure
their success to a great extent by the
number of their readers, understand
human nature perfectly in this matter,
and do not hesitate, occasionally, to turn
this bit of knowledge to their own adj
VANTAGE in order to advertise themselves.
II is not unlikely that this is the animus
of Frank Pixley, in the manufacture OF
bitter articles against Catholicism and
the Irish. 1t doubtless accounts, also,
for his recent change Of tactics, when
dropping his other and weekly topic
his articles upon which were cloying
upon the public, he fanked off and
penned one Of the harshest articles IN
detraction and abuse of the Jews that
have ever appeared in an American news
paner. The Saturday On which this
article appeared. it is said that before
the ordinary hour for the distribution OF
the Arponaut had arrived there was not
a copy of the paper to be had IN San
Francisco for love or money Inc ma
t;onalitv attacked so savagely snapped
ND the Argonaut at every corner IN
order to retire to their business places
and private residences and, in a state OF
white heat, digest the vituperation that
Pixley had heaped upon them; while the
rest of the community, including the
Irish, who, doubtless, felt relieved to
escape the sting of their apparently bitter
enemy just for once, went eagerly, Also
everywhere in quest Of the ~incendlary
paper. This story OF sensational Jour-
ral;sm for business effect has been re-
peated more recently in the Eastern
States. Down South some newspapers,
having the same motive that actuated
Piylev. started a sensational story OF
alleged prosecutions and indignities suf-
fered at the hands Of Shylock Jews, who
were represented to have grown
into hideousness as money mon
sters, and to be sitting astraddle
of the Gentle Southern community IN
society as well as in business. The New
York Sun, in a spirit OF what Is termed
journalistic enterprise, posted OH a
special correspondent into Dixie's and
to write up under glazing headlines the
distress of the conquered Gentiles for the
qualification Of the masses who gloat
over human misery and coin money tor
the newspapers by their devotion to SEN
sational literature. The paroxysm Is
over now. The bush must be beaten tor
a new sensation. Before the troubled
waters resume the dead level again, how
ever, it may be agreeable for the sake OF
fair play to hear something from that
side which has not been much listened
to in the bitter controversy that has
RACED both east and west OF the Rocky
Mountains.
In New York recently Rabbi Z. B.
NJ. Browne discoursed on ''The Jew as a
Money Maker" \ report OF his re-
marks from the New York Herald is as
follows: That the Jew did accumulate
wealth sooner than the Gentle was al
acknowledged fact. The evolution o
riches, governed by a certain law, made
an exception in favor: of the Jew every
where. Why it was that he made money
faster than the Gentle was that he in
herited the art. The first man on the
go-as-you-please track for the great purse
was Abraham. But how did he acquire
the wealth the Bible credited him with
Was there a stock exchange then? Were
there bucket shops? Did Abraham keel
a corner GROCERY or a gambling hell
No; he made his money honestly and his
genius he transmitted to his people,
When the cruel Christian had shut the
Jew out from all other employments the
Jew became a money handler, and hao
remained so ever since. Shakespeare
held up the Jew, who was forbidden te
tread on a worm, with a knife in hi:
hand demanding his pound of flesh, but
he meant no reflection on the race; he
simply pictured him as the cruel Christ
ian would make him. 1t was no crime
to make money. Why did the city
move down town every morning? Why
did the father leave home every morning
before he had time to kiss his children
For money. Was this a city of scoun.
drels No; but one of the greatest business
communities in the world. The South
ern Jew could pop champagne and smoke
ffty-cent cigars and still have money to
spare. The Gentle could do the same,
but he had to mortgage his lands to keep
up the practice. The Southern man,
whether Jew or Gentle, was cleaner
than the Northern man, because he had
more time to wash. The lecturer went
on to give many instances where, in this
country, members of his race were hon.
