A PAGE OF HISTORY.
Rabbi Levy Discourses on the
MaCcabean EnOCh.

Maccabean Epoch.
Last evening being the sixth day of the
festival "Chauanka" Rabbi Levy deliv-
cred a most inspiring discourse at the
Congregation Beth Israel on the Macca-
bean epoch in Jewish history. With
graphic force he depicted the bold struggle
for independence.
'Jewish historians" he remarked. have
loved to dwell upon and magnify the
dreams of Judas Maccabeus; nor is the
estimate unjust. Later conQuests were
more extensive and politically stronger
but by very reason of their political
strength the Jewish race were despoied
and lost their temple for the second time,
since which time it has never been reared
again.
1T was Judas Maccabeus who first
dared to Withstand the foreign tyranny
which the Greeks attempted to foist upon
his countrymeD, and from the time of
Ezra to the time of Alexander the Great
lies page of Jewish history that ought to
cause blush to color the cheek of every
man and woman of the Hebrew faith.
just 2200 years ago - $40 years
before the common era--there stood on
the plains of Sharon an army who fought
against oppression and demanded liberty.
1t was composed Of men having the spirit
of Washington and Lincoln, men who
loved their country and their God and
| ready to die for their principles. And all
this twenty centuries ago.
Nv hen Antiochus became master of Je-
| rusaleni. he gave the Jews their freedom,
and earlier STILL when Alexander of Mace
donia would have taken the holy city by
| storm, he fOrebore on account of dream.

proach the gates of the city. Emerging

| tendants, and in his dream be said, L will
bow my head before this mao. Next day.
upon approaching Jerusalem. to his
amazement it turned out as depicted to
him in his dream during the sleepy watches
of the night. Before Gods priest he did
| bow his head to the ground, and instead of
cOnquering was himself conquered. For
one year after every male child was named
| Alexander. and the Greek name thus be-
came Hebrew one.
but Antiocbus Epiphanes loved Jupiter
| Olympus, and forced the priests in the
temple to detie the altar. Matthias, with
his five sons. inspired the people with the
cry Of no surrender. and 166 years before
tile common era the final of the then great
battles that were fought for Jewish inde-
| pendence was fought anu won. 1t was the
Mac .abean AustsrlitZ. Antiochus Epiph-
anes, advanced in years. anG suffering from
a loathsom disease, was no longer known
as Epiphanes. but as Epinnanes-the mad
| man and fool.
"Three years from the defilement of the
temple it was rededicated."
The learned rabbi concluded his lis
course by arguing for the same spirit am on z
the young men and women of Israel to-
day. ready to fight for the principles of
Judaism, and even ready to make sacrifices
for their religion.

question. 1t is strongly in favor OF
good roads, and believe that they
should be operated and maintained at
the public expense, but it is opposed
to any sudden, hasty and burdensome
taxation for the purpose OF carrying
out the proposition. Taxation is al
ready too heavy, and before larger
road tax is imposed, legislative steps
should be taken towards reducing the
present levy. A congressional appro-
priation for the purpose of ascertain
ing the best materials in the various
States, would be wise move, while
the reducing of a revenue tax and an
increase of the road and bridge tax,
might be good move to bring about
the desired results. That good roads
are badly needed, particularly in this
county, is evinced by drive through
the country at the present time, but
they must be improved slowly, or
without excessive taxation.

The GAZETTE is able to make true

and paid s. fer the same. The lead
ers we're to match type purchased be-
fore the trust was thought of; other
wise they could have been purchased
of the Minnesota Type Foundry at
St. Paul, the only type foundry in the
northwest outside of the combine, for
$175. On $1,000 order this would
be- great difference. If printers pro

they can buy cheaper, particularly
outside of a trust, they may, but the

BUSINESS REVIEW.

| Greatly Exceed Exports.
| New YORK, April 1.-The weekly
review of trade says:
The fact of largest influence in the record of
| the last week has been the increased distribu-
| ton of goods. The stringency often seen about
| April does not appear here nor are other
| money markets close But while imports great
ly exceed exports it is not safe to calculate that
outgoes OF gold will not again disturb conf

Wheat in Chicago had sudden fall of 7cents

~ cents higher than at other western cities and
8 cents higher than at New York, markets
were little affected anywhere else and here are
only an eighth lower. But the price in Great
| Britain is the lowest ever known. Corn fell 2H
cents, with small sales, and oats l u cents, and
| the break in hog products reached IS cents per
| barrel in pork and a cent i'll lard.
| Exports in four weeks at New York have
been S., 49,, 600 less than last year, indicating
| total tor the month not far from SIC, 600, O0O
while the increase in imports at New York
alone has been about 81 100000 indicating a
| total for the month of more than S97, OOO, OO0
This great excess in imports following the ex-
cess of s36,OOO000 in January and February is
| the basis of doubts about the immediate none
tary future
Failures in the first quarter of the year-3,20 2
in number-were fewer than in either of the

bilities larger the average of liabilities is still
quite low, less than sl4s00. The business fail
