CONCERNING THE JEWS

Professor Goodwin Smith has a very

number Of the North American Re
view, entitled, "a New Light on the
Jewish Question" From Prof.
Smiths past extensive record on sem
sitive subjects, it will be readily I'M
derstood that the essay in question is
bitterly and unfairly p rtisan. lie
assumes, from our standpoint, on ex-
tremely light evidence, that the up
prising in Russia against the Jews is
racial rather than religious and de-
nounces Hebrews as parasites OF the
worst sort. Indeed as the Review
which has given space to the article
announces a reply in later issue, We
may expect a war Of words equal u
the famous religious fight In which
Colonel Ingersoll and Mr.. Gladstone
took mutual part.
Prof. Smith asserts that Russia
must shake the Jew from her skirt
or in the end he will suck the very life
blood from her heart. "Detach Tn

SOMETHING NEW

Chicago has new style OF elecIrlc
street cars, called the Columbian
coach, probably named in honor of the
approaching fair. On that line, which
is to run on boulevards, il seems to be
necessary that the conductors shall be
women. The reason given for employ
ing female conductors lies in city or
dinance that forbids any vehicle from
passing "on, along or over said boule- |
wards" unless it has at least one lady
occupant. The ordinance is peculiar
one. since it prevents a gentleman
from driving alone along these streets,
even in the lightest and handsomest
conveyance, while another man, II ne
had n woman with him, might drive
thereon with load Of hay, or even in a
garbage wagon. AS the new line OF
carriages might sometime be without
any passengers other than the driver
and conductor, and therefore be likely
