sHAKespEAke's JEW,
An Analysis OF the Attribute Of Medipvsi
Christiaos Toward Hebrews.

4
Christians Toward Hebrews.
1t Is in Antonio personally that thu
attitude of the medieval Christian to
ward the Jew Is found. The unex
planned melancholy Of Antonio, hii
fidelity in high-minded friendship, and
the dignity Of his bearing under the
cruelty to which he is exposed, have
obscured to US the other side of hi
character as the Rialto merchant. VIZ
see more OF Bassanio's Antonio than o.
Shylock's; the man who had inter
fered with the usurer in every way and
personally maltreated him, and was as
like to do the same again; the proud,
hard-hearted and insulting magnifico
whom Shylock hated for himself.
Antonio Is every whit as heartless to
the jew in the hour Of his triumph as
Shylock was TO him when the balance
leaned the other way. His cruelty Is
lacking only in the physical element; ii
Is not bloody, but IL goes 10 the bone
and marrow OF Shylock's nature none
the less. There Is no sign that Shake
speare saw any wrong In all this. 1t
was thus that the Christians looked up
on the Jews, and they thought such
treatment right. Shakespeare differed
from others---from Marlowe, for ex-
ample, in his delineation OF the Jew OF
Malta--in one point only; he was able
to take Shylock's point OF view, to I'M
derstand his motives, to assign the
reasons with which revenge justified its
own motions; in word, to represent
Shylock's humanity The speeches he
puts into the Jews mouth are intense
and eloquent expressions OF the RAJ
Sionale OF that lodged hate" in his bo-
som; they are true to fact and to nature;
ON our ears they come with overwhelm-
ing force, and 1t Is impossible to our
thoughts that Shakespeare could have
written them without sympathy for the
wrongs that they set forth with such
fiery heat. But when from this 1t is
argued that Shakespeare, In writing this
play, made deliberate plea for toler-
alton, and carried 1t as far as the neces-
stiles OF his plot and the temper OF his
times permitted, then it Is needful to
remind ourselves OF what Booth calls
1.-The baseness Of ShylOck's, nature"
Shakespeare did represent him as base,
with avarice. cunning and revenge
for the constituent elements OF his
character; he did not hesitate to let the
exhibition Of these low qualities ap-
proach the farcical, as he would never
have done had he thought OF the Jew as
in any sense heroic. Shylock had SUI
fered insult and wrong. but there was
nothing in him individually to excite
commiseration. From beginning to end
he shows no noble qualities. Modern
symprthy with him, apart from the pity
that tragedy necessarily stirs, is social
sympathy. not personal; it is because
he is an outcast and belongs to an out
cast race, because every mans hand is
against him and against all his people,
that the audience OF this century per-
ceives an injustice inherent in his posi-
ton itself, antecedent to. and indie
pendent OF, any Of his acts; and this in
justice is ignored in the play Atlantic

letter scheme Each writes two letters
asking for ten cents, herself sends ten
cents to the central treasury and asks
each recipient of letter to follow her
example until the series has reached
the fifteenth stage. A friend of these
enthusiastic young persons remarks
that the plan seems simple, but the
young ladies will raise enough for q
handsome building by these insignif-
cant contributions, which no one OF
the givers will miss. But how about

Brilliant Editor or Manager

Brilliant Editor or Manager.
| AZ the recent banquet of the
American Publisher Association.
in New York city, quite a spirited
discussion took place as to whom
credit should be given for the great
success in American journalism,
the brilliant editor or the capable
business manager and publisher?
Col. Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, and Others, main
tanned that the editors furnished
the wares sold by the publisher,
and it was The character and quail
ty of those goods that made the
paper a brilliant success or a dis
mal failure.
Col. Brown, of the New York
News, and others, insisted that it
was the enterprise, courage, tact
and financial energy of the few good
newspaper managers that Produced
the exceptional success in journal
ism; that thousands of men could
be picked up in New York any day
| who cou d write the articles; but
! where would you look for the man
capable of running the business of
flee of any first class daily?
No decision Of the question could
of course, be expected on an occa
sion of this kind; but the subject
is one that might well engage the
further consideration of both pub
fishers and editor, that the path
may be selected which leads to sub
stantial profits for the stock hold
er as we'll. as fame for the editor.
Numerous examples can be cited to
sustain either argument, but per-
haps success has been best obtained
where the two are found in combi
nation.
In Philadelphia. Col. John w.
Forney established The Press in
1857, and made 1t power in the
land solely by his able and vigor
Gus political editorials; but the
Philadelphia Ledger and Philadel-
phla Record were each taken hold
of by Messrs George w. Childs
and VIM. Singerly respectively
when these papers were in sink
ing condition and were both placed,
by courageous and capable man
agement, in the front rank Of
American newspapers. Whilst
both these gentlemen control and
doubtless direct to some extent the
editorial utterances of their jour
nails, they typify rather the able
manager than the brilliant edi-
| tor.
The Times, established in 1878.
furnishes, probably, one of the best
examples of what can be done by
uniting editorial power and good
business management. Col A. K.
Mcclure, as editor, has made The
Time known throughout the land
but to the practical knowledge and
financial experience Of the manager
Mr.. Frank McLau:in, equal credit
is due for the great success achiev
ed by that journal.
Brilliant editors have frequently
come to grief for lack of good man
agement, but capable managers
have usually had no difficulty in
picking up able and yer atile ed
itors-Printcrs Circular.

Sea Lions OF the Pacific Coast.


Mr.. Mcclure says there have been a
good many sea lions around the rock
of late fishing for salmon. One Of
these monsters will dive down and in
q short time come up with a salmon in
his mouth, give it few shakes, which
slap it around his ears so that the
crack can be heard on the rock, and
break the fish in two. He will then
swallow one-half and dive after the
remainder and swallow it. There is
one huge old sea lion, which Is blind
in one eye and has evidently been
driven forth on the cold charities OF
am unfeeling world by the other lions,
as he haunts the rock and is made a
sort of pet of by the light keepers, who
throw him biscuits, which he eats.
He will allow them to come within ten
feet of him when baslzing on the rock.
They call him Dick and he appears to
know his name. He will raise his
head and answer with his musical
howl. The other lions swim aroand
the rock, but evince no desire to cult
vate the acquaintance of the jewellers
thereon. On the rocks near the shore
is regular rookery, where hundreds
OF these lions congregate.-Portland

of Hon. John F. Potter, of Wisconsin,
some reference was made to the alter.
cation which he had in congress with
Roger A. Prior, in 1860, which nearly
resulted in a duel. The biographel
says: For months afterwards Potter's
friends, somewhat against his will,
hedged him about with their vigilance,
accompanying him in his walks to and
fro, as Prior had threatened to attack
him. One of these friends was Col.
William S. King, of Minnesota, who
was as quick as cat and strong as a
tiger. Whenever Potter started from
his seat to leave the house King rose
