The Jews and Civilization.

The records Of history show that there is
no better indication of the civilization and
humanity Of nation than its treatment of
the Jews. AS the nations of Christendom
have SUCCESSFULLY advanced In enlightment
and humanity there has been greater toler.
alton Tor the Jews within their borders. The
depierable scenes now witnessed on the
frontiers OF nearly every other nation of
Europe; the hurrying crowds of penniless
ana hopeless fugitives now moving across
lne herman frontier are but the reproduction
VI scenes centuries old. Russia is now
wnere Engiandwas six centuries ago: where
france was five hundred years ago: where
spain was under Ferdinand and Isabella.
The jews appeared in England betoro tbo
time OF Alfred, and for centuries thoS- -.
ment was most severe. The prejudices of
an enure people were against them. The
treatment OF the father of the Rebecca % tbe
story Oh lVanhoe is but typical of the treot,
ment accorded all Jews in England A mas
sacre OF Jews was one OF the en,erta,n,.~
events accompanying the Coronation of
Richard ], that piouS Plantaganet wbo
fought so valiantly for the possession of tho
holy sepulchre. Under John and Henry TTT
they were continually persecuted, and finally
Edward l expelled them from England en-
tirely In 1890. 1t was nearly four hundred
years before the Jews again set foot in Eng.
land. Oliver Cromwell, who had helped
hoerate the English people from the tyranny
Oh tne Stuarts showed that he was true
liberal by re-admitting the Jews and allow
ing the erection of a synagogue in London.
To-day the memory Of no statesman is so dear
to the English people as that of the Jewish
Disraeli. No nobleman wears the scarlet
CLOAK OF British peerage with more honor
than Rothschild.

some countries In the past are enough to
make the bloed run cold even at this late
day. About the time that Columbus set ont
for the discovery of America 10000 Jews
were being driven through Portugal into
Africa Not afifth part Of them survived the
horrors OF shipwreck and Of the other perIls
OIL the journey. In 1885 all the Jews of Por-
tugal were banished after being robbed of all
tnelr children under fourteen years of age,
Wnen the black plague swept over Europe
about 1850 the Jews were pointed out to the
Ignorant people as having caused the pesti-
lence by poisoning the wells. For this i'm
aginary offence they swere burned alive bv
hundreds In the public squares of continent
tai towns. or burned themselves with their
families In their synagogues, In order tn 90
cape the more terrible fires Of their torman.
.ors' It's the shame of this country to day
tnat single negro was burned alive by
mop OF semi-barbarous white men in a
Louisiana parish the other day.
IL must be remembered that this race
which has been prosecuted so barbarously
mas not been especially degraded or harmful,
Indeed, the Jews were generally more en-
lightened and civilized than their perseeu.
TORS. They were the first able financiers of
Europe then as they are today. In the realm
OF literature and science the scholars of their
race stood foremost. Indeed, the envy felt
for the superiority of the Jews probably had
much to do with their prosecutions at the
hands of the half civilized people of western
Europe.
In this country Jews have been tolerated
from the first. In 1884, the Jews that had
had no resting place in Europe for two hun
dred years, entered the harbor of Newport,
II. l., to find protection and to erect a sypa-
gogue in few years. One of the ablest of
the public men of this country was Judah p.
Benjamin, senator from Louisiana, after the
Rebellion the successful Queens counsel of
England. Occasionally the old prejudice
would crop out in Beniamin's political
career; but he received general applause
when once he turned upon man who had
taunted him with his descent with the crush
ing rejoinder, like this, "True, while your
fathers were naked barbarians en- the banks
of the Rhine. mine were the princes of the
earth"
Nothing could mark better the standing of
the civilization Of Russia beside the ciyiliza-
tion of other nations than the driving out of
the Jews. She is centuries behind the
times

In the June number of Harper's Magazine
Colonel Theodore A. Dodge, OF the United
States army, has an interesting account of
some American riders, as well as quite
treatise upon the American saddle horse.
In bis recounting of some great feats Of
horsemanship Col. Dodge puts first the re-
markable ride of General Wesley Merritt,
who in 1879 rode with a battalion of the Fifth
cavalry to the relief of Payne. He covered
40 miles from IL a. m, October 2nd to 8. 80
p. M, October 5th-two days and six hours
He was accompanied by a battalion of in
fantry In wagons, which much retarded the
march. He arrived on the field In good or
der and ready to fight. Single courlers had
ridden over the same distance during the
previous days In less than "a hours. Cap-
tain F. S. Dodge marched his command on
the same occasion eighty miles in sixteen
hours. Lieutenant Wood, of the Fourth
Cavalry marched his troop 70 miles in 70
hours. In 1870 four men Of Company H..
First Cavalry. bore despa ches from Fort
Harney to Fort Warner, 14o miles over bad
road-20 of 1t sand-with little aud bad
water, in % hours, eighteen and one-half of
which was actual marching time. The
horses were In such good condition at ths
end OF this march that in three days tim,
the men started back. and made the dis
tance at the rate of 60 miles day. In 1886
Lieutenant Robertson, of the First Cavalry,
rode from Fort Lapwai to Fort Walla WalIa,
102 miles. over the snow deep In places, in
twenty-three and one-half hours; and start
ing next morning, rode back In two days.
Col. Dodge concludes that men who can ride
like this and come in fresh must be consum-
mate horsemen; and that the animals that
they ride must be of the best for pace and
ability,

hen T5zs Summer the Hon. Grover Sftsye-
land becomes the Democratic candidate for
President. as the chances are that he will.
and when the Hon. A. H. Colquitt Georgia,
and the Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indi-
ana, otherwise known as the Tall Sycamore
OF the Wabash, and the Hon. j. L. Pugh, of
Alabama, take the stump In his behalf, as
they probably will have to, we imagine that
each and all Of these gentlemen will
look back and regret that they had not kept
their tongues still, for 1t Is going to be ex-
ceedlngly difficult to pronounce panegyrics
in 1892 upon man Of whom they spoke in
very deprecatory way in 1891. Observe the
predicament that the Tall Sycamore will
be in when next year he mounts the rostrum
to address body Of Democratic Hoosler
silver fanatics and undertakes to commend
to them Mr.. Cleveland's financial opinions.
There will be in existence, and very likely
several of his Hoosier hearers will have 1t
In their pockets, a document which will con-
vict the Sycamore Of having said year pre-
vious that the Hon. Mr.. Cleveland was not
In accord with the financial policy of the
Democratic party, that he had cast his lot
with the money power" and that he had
ceased to be an available Democratic candi
date. And when he prophesies Mr.. Cleye-
lands triumphant election the enthusiasm
which such prophesy ought to arouse
among his hearers will be dampened by the
recollection that the year before he declared
that he could not see how we can achieve
success with Grover Cleveland"
Imagine the embarrassment Of the Hon.
A. ID. Colquitt when he undertakes to
'whoop up" the Farmers Alliance of Geor-
gia and is reminded by a gentleman from
the rural districts that the year before he
had accused Mr.. Cleveland stirring nm
antipathy to him In the South by his silver
utterances.
But worse still will be the plight of the
Hon. j. L. Pugh of Alabama, when that
statesman has to undertake to apologize for
Mr.. Cleveland's reference to the people of
the South as those rebellious hands who
assailed the government. How can Mr..
Pugh In 1892 convince his hearers that this
language was not an affront to the South
which they should resent when the year be-
fore he characterized 1t as an insult which
Mr.. Cleveland had gone out of his way to

The farmers of Onondaga county. New
York, have Issued an address in which they
say that they beg to disagree with the vaga-
rles put forward In behalf Of the agricultural
population by the Cincinnati convention.
The yagary specially meant is no doubt
the scheme for the government to loan
money to farmers on imperlsnable products.
We imagine there is not an honest and level
headed farmer In this country who would
approve of this scheme IL he should judge
1t on Its merits. The secret of the
support 1t is getting lies In the fact that a
large number Of the agricultural population
OF the west have feeling that the "money
power" has been getting favors from the
government at their expense, and that by
means OF the sub-treasury scheme they will
recoup themselves, or get square with the
millionaires. A great many of them have
been made to believe that by some Juggling
with the currency Wall street has been en-
aDled to squeeze them, and they want to do
little squeezing in return. II their pre-.
mise was correct 1t would be impossible not
to feel some sympathy with them, but their
complaints of what they vaguely style the
money power" are founded on misappre
hension of the facts. Their readiness to
endorse this government loaning scheme
Is greatly increased, too, by the fact
that many of them are not prosper
