NEW YORK, June 13.-7rutt is a weekly de-
voted to the doings Of society which is pub
hshed by Dawson Dalziel, who is known to
San Franciscans as the editor AMI publisher OF
the Nal, a rather scandalous sheet which ex
PRED about twelve years ago. In its issue of
yesterday Truth prints the following:

country. Great heavens! Why should we have

They are not productive; they have no inventive

sequence occurring TO me that can be traced TO
Jewish origin. They puy up what the talent
of men has devised and created and they sell it
and grow rich on the profit The wise legisla-
tion that governs this country from Washington

Fourth street on the north and Worth street on
the south and he will open his eyes to a dam
ger that threatens this country much more than
any religious or sectional element may. Nor is
this menace confined TO New York alone. Bal
timore is nest of Jewish business houses and
there is hardly gentle name to be detected
in its streets. This liberality of immigration is
all right IN theory, but when such an avalanche

means OF protecting ourselves

the following editorial in the Sun:
THE Herald publishes list of the grammar
school boys who have lust passed examinations
for admission into the Introductory department
of the free college. They are about seven hun
dred IN number, or more than one half of the
1,22S candidates who were put through the or
deal. 1t is suggestive TO observe that the
names OF great part offthese successful candi-
dates are very plainly Jewish, but not at all
surprising that ii should be So For many years
past a majority of the best scholars in the pub
lie schools have been OF Hebrew birth, and they
are showing steady proportionate increase.
This superiority is due to inherited capacity
coming TO them with the blood of their ancient
race, and to the greater interest which Jewish
parents take in the education of their children
School trustees and school commissioners bear
witness that there are no other parents who
watch the schools SO carefully, and Jewish
rabbis are equally painstal1ing in that respect
and no part of the population shows so much
concern about the school system and takes SO
great a pride in it. The Jews look upon the
free education as the stepping stone necessary

most by the advantages it offers. The boys an
girls are not sent to school and left to pursue
their education with no other help than they get
from books and teachers. They are stimulated
TO requirement by home influences. and Jewish
fathers and mothers glory in their proficiency
and applaud their ambition for superiority
Under such domestic training il is reasonable
TO suppose that their children would take a
high stand in schools. But there is another
and even greater advantage which they possess
Intellectually the Jews are a wonderfully acute
race. They get by heredity thousands of years
OF mental training IN sharp conflict with other
races and the transmitted traits are the more
pronounced because of the purity of their
Semitic blood. OF all the families of men, they
are the one in which the laws of heredity have
operated with the least disturbance 70 preserve
the accumulations OF long history, and of

wonder that in the face of such heavy odds they
have pushed themselves to the front in COM

their progress in wealth and learn
