The Jew as a Farmer.

Among the great masses who must
toh for their daily bread, certainly many
have not yet devoted themselves to till
ing the soil, and on this account their
enemies have devised the charge that
Jews are of no use in agriculture, that
they are averse to all hard work. Here
also experience. gives a refutation. In
the lands where Jews have been per-
United to acquire landed property, where
they have found opportunity to devote
themselves to agriculture, they have
proved themselves excellent farmers.
For example, in Hungary they form a
very large part Of the tillers of the soil,
and this fact is acknowledged to such an
extent that the high Catholic clergy in
Hungary almost exclusively have Jews
as tenants on mortmain properties, and
almost all large landholders give prefer
ence to the Jews on account of their in
dustry, their rectitude and their dex-
terity. These are facts that cannot be
hid, and that have force, so that the
anti-Semitic movement, which for a
long time fourished in Hungary, must
expire.
1t will expire because every n sees
that SO important a factor in the pro-
ductive activity of the country-especi-
ally in agriculture-cannot be spared.
My own personal experience, too, has led
me to recognize that the Jews have very
good ability in agriculture. l have seen
this personally in the Jewish agricul-
tural colonies of Turkey, and the re-
ports from the expedition that l have
sent to the Argentine Republic plainly
show the same fact.-Baron de Hirsch

Foreign Newspaper Opinion.

London May 6,-The St. James Gazette in comment ng on the find ing of the Nav Orleans Grand Jury in the lynching cases, says: "Tbe jury has done just what might have been expected, and its findings pos sess a polemical interest which, it may be feared, the Marquis di Ru dini will not fully appreciate. If Secretary Blaine sticks to his guns and insists that a constitutional authority has pronounced on the issue, and the constitution provided no machinery for the governments going behind the decision of the New Orleans jury, his position will be still more unsatisfactory to Italy than it was at the beginning"
 Rome, May 7,-The decision of the New Orleans Grand Jury has caused great deal of excitement throughout the city and is bitterly commented on by the press. The Captain Fracassa, the organ of the opposition, says:
 This impudent glorifcation of murder, this solidarity of the whole country with a band of cowardly homicides gathered in thousands to exterminate a few helpless pris- oners, is no longer the cry of peo pie drunk with crime and blood :; 1t is a declaration premeditated and matured by the Grand Jury, which was regulary chosen, It is the an- swer that theAmerican Government has given to the just claims of Italy.
 "For the first time in many cen- turies an infamous crime is elevated to the dignity of an institution of State. It is declared that when as- sassins are too numerous to be pun ished they are to be considered as gentlemen.
 "The result of this theory, if it is accepted and sustained by the Gov ernment of the Union, will be sim ply that strangers in the United States in the future must consider themselves unprotected by the law and will be constrained to trust the defense of their rights and lives to the strength of their own arms,
 "Wben in future the President of the United States shall demand from a European country the right to defend his countrymen he will be answered as Italy has been an swered."

After GOuld'S Scalp.

A crank by the name of Chas. A. Dixon from Pueblo, Colorado, was arrested in New York on the 9th inst. He claims to be member of an organization known as "Christ Followers" and that he had been made deputy by the arch council to kill Jay Gould.
 The purpose of the organization, he said, is the equalization of mon- ey and property distribution. He was ordered to demand from Gould s1 100000 down, $5,000,000 in ten years, at the rate of half million a year, and still another $5 100000 in the next decade, unless Gould die in the mean time, against which emergency he should provide for setting apart his entire fortune for educational and charitable purpos- es, except s1,0O0,OOO for each mem- Der of his family. If Gould did not consent he was to be killed. If neither happened, Dixon himself would catch it.
 Dixon made the foregoing state ment to Dr. Mum, Gould's family physician, to whom he got letter of introduction from a friend of Dr. Munn's in Pueblo, Col orado, on the pretext that he was going to New Pork for medical ad vice. pr. Mum arranged to have Inspector Byrnes and two of his men present at this interview, and after listening to the interview h. spector Byrnes arrested him. He has been committed to await exam nation as to his sanity.

IT strikes the New York Tribune

IT strikes the New York Tribune that in his letter to the late Blaine convention in Cincinnati Mir. J. s. Clarkson touched the American people in a sensitive spot when he proclaimed the doctrine that the security, peace and equality of all citizens, whether they live in hum- ble huts along the Yazoo or in frescoed palaces along the Hudson, were of more importance than the price af a tin cup" We have no doubt that the salvation of souls is of intimately more importance than either the price of the tin cup or the security, peace and equality of citizens; but we do not understand that it is any part of the duties of the Federal Government to build meeting houses, hire evangelists and appropriate money for carry ing on revivals. We hope the Trib- une is not unmindful of the fact that it's friend, Secretary Blaine, has just been explaining to the Italian Government that the United States Government is barred by the Constitution from punishing crime in New Orleans, and if it can't pro- tect the so,journer within our gates along the Mississippi we do not see what it has to do with the peace and security of "all citizens, wheth- CT they live in humble huts along the Yazoo or in frescoed palaces along the Hudson" If MT. Clark son and the Tribune will read Mir. Blaine's last letter to the Marquis di Rudini they will learn something about our Constitution.

I HEARD good story in New York the other day on James Cor don Bennett, writes and Atlanta Constitution man. "One of the maxims of Bennett's life," said a well-known club man, lis meyer to make mistake and. therefore, never have occasion to correct one. Bennett makes few errors. He never acknowledges one. I remember a few years ago he went into his club on Christmas Day for dinner. It was his usual custom to give his waiter s on Christmas, He had two small rolls of money in his pocket, One contained five S1 notes, the other five $l GOO notes. When Bennett had finished he handed the waiter one of the rolls of money without examining It, presuming 1t to be s. The waiter thanked him, and showed it into his pocket with out examination. After the great editor had gone the waiter drew forth his roll of bills and discover ed to his surprise five $1,000 bills. He was actually frightened, and went to the steward, giving him the money to lock up in the safe until Mir. Bennett returned, stating that he knew Mir. Bennett must have made mistake.
 "A few days later Bennett return ed to the club. The waiter and the stewart called him back into a rear apartment and handed h1m the roll of bills, both stating that he must have made mistake. At this Ben nett strengthened himself, without even looking at the roll of money, and with an air of indignation re- piled:
 "James Gordon Bennett makes no mistakes and strode out"

ONE day last week the Pittsburg Chornicle, Independent Republican, set forth in long article the recent increase in, the cost living, and ad- vised the poor people to use more oatmeal and similar cheap but nutritious articles and buy less meat and fewer potatoes" This is little confusing in view of the fact that Representative Grosvenor and the Republicans generally have assured us that nothing had advanced in price except possibly a few luxuries. But if, as the Chronicle says, the cost of living has lately advanced, 1t is of little use to advise us to eat more oatmeal; the Mckinley bill doubled the duty on oatmeal, and the formation of an oatmeal trust was recorded in the last number of the National Democrat.-National Democrat.
