The Jews and the Swiss.

A controversy has been going on be-
tween the Jews and the people of Switz-
erland in regard TO the slaughtering of
animals. The Jews always take the life
of an animal by bleeding. The Swiss
Humane Society prosecuted the Hebrew
butchers for cruelty to animals. The law
forbidding needless pain TO animals was
enforced against them. Inasmuch as the
Jews had a religious scruple on the SUBJ
iect, it was considered a great hardship,
and they appealed to the country for re-
lief, but the people sustained the law in
overwhelming numbers.

Ex-Speaker Reed i8 pronounced a
success on the lecture platform. The
Chicago Herald in discussing his recent
lecture, says:
"To public view he appeared as mild
a hammered cZar as ever bossed a con-
gress or bulldozed a minority. Has he
seen a new light? His lecture on
progress and Leadership" seems to
indicate as much. His observation that
every nation makes its leaders, the
leaders and prominent men do not
make the nation, suggests that he has
discovered that he who would lead must
erVe. A wave swept over this country
last November, leaving nothing but
ruins. The people overcame their
leaders, among whom Mr.. Reed was
conspicuous, and overthrow Mckinley
ism, leaving the laboriously construct
ed system of robbery under the forms
of law in ruins. May we not alao
conclude that Mr.. Reed has made up
his mind to give in his submission to
the power which is above the czar, to
assist in building up the ruins again
better fitted for the wants of the peo-
ple?"
