ANTISEMITISM IN SWITZERLAND.

Switzerland is at the present moment in the
thrOes of an Anti-Semitic agitation, which has
led to serious conflict between the Cantonal
and Federal governments. Two years ago the
powerful Society for the Prevention If Cruelty
to Animals came to the conclusion that the
Hebrew manner of killing live stock was char
acterized by needless cruelty, and appealed to
the Legislatures of Berne, Argovie and other
Cantons to prohibit the bleeding of animals
prior to their receiving the deathblow, this
being tho method of slaughter prescribed by
Talmudic law. The CantOnal Diets in ques.
ton in each case acceded to the demand, and
enacted statutes forbdding this form of
slaughter under severe legal penalties. The
Hebrews thereupon appealed to the Federal
Government, pointing out that they are guar
anteed freedom to exercise the tenets of their
faith, not only by the articles of the amended
Constitution of the Federation. but also under
the terms of a treaty negotiated thirty years
ago between Switzerland and France. the latter
country having taken the initiative in securing
for the Jewish race the emancipation from
those legal disabilities under which it had until
then labored in the Swiss Republic. The Fed
erA Government had no alternative but to

that say it's friends, or, il its critics are TO DC

the reason. the English mind loves more TO look

TO the glory and beauty of Nature around It
than TO the hectic thrObs OF it's own sell
imapinings. And in this respect Americans re-
fleet the same feeling. What they may 10
when American civilization shall cease TO be
essentially English, and shall become CON-
posite, is another question.
Nevertheless, as wo have intimated English
writer's do net always touch the true note OF
spring for Americans, not because they are
untrue to Nature as they SEQ it. but because
England is not America. The primrose is not
here feature of spring as it is in England.
Our country folk would be sadly puzzled by
reference to tho canlser gals, the infants OF
the spring." That sad rascal, the jackdaw, is
unknown to us by that name. With us 1t IS
not the liquid notes of the nightingale that
close the eve of day." Nor have we any per-
sonal knowledge of the cuckoo which T" has no
sorrow in its song, no winter in its year" Even
the violet is hardly harbinger of spring with
us, thanks to the florists who have so extended
its season. Nor could the most ardent
American truthfully assert that our spring is
full of sweet days and roses" though most OF
us hope that on next Sunday, at least, we may
realize tho uncertain glory OF an April day."
Social conditions, too, differ Our farmers are
good sturdy men but we do not think of them
rs "jocund," nor do they ever celebrate spring
by singing on the lea" or dancing to the
merry sound of the lutte. The mlkmaid OF
English poetry does not exist here; and the
"Queen Of the May" except in our Central
Park, has no chaplet OF flowers woven for her
by Joyous and willing subjects. The demo-
cratic movement, in this. as in 10 many other
things, has made change for us. as perhaps
it is doing in England also. Our poets and
lovers of Nature will only truly deliver their
message to the people when they tell what they
sec and feel Spring to us not only means
something very different from spring in the
British Isles, but it differs greatly in different
localities of our own country. Thus far our
literature has largely dealt with Nature in the
New England and Northern States The time
is coming when it will reflect the life and en-
vironmcnt of the other equally important por-
tons of our common country. The magnolia
no less than the arbutus, is herald of our
composite spring

Meanwhile. the Society FIR the Prevention OF

doy members of the Jewish faith will prefer
expatriation to the defiance OF the tcnets oil me

has for past centuries been regarded. as the
cradle of liberty and freedom, will place itself
on record as guilty of an arbitrary act Oh IN

English literature is especially rich in its al
Iusions to spring; but owing to the different
climatic and social conditions in this country
some of these illusions seem to us not to strike
a true note. OF course, there arc noteworthy
exceptions. The Anglo-Saxon genius, in this
as in so many other experiences of life has
spoken many true words for its kin beyond
the sea. Just as Thoreau and other American
secrs of Nature have expressed the deeper
thoughts of all English speaking peoples, 80
have Wordsworth, Shelley and Shakespeare
touched mystic chords of tclepathy in their
communngs with Nature, whose vibrations will
always be felt in American hearts Yester-
day, for instance, most naturally suggested the
coming Of the time "when spring unlocks the
flowers to paint the laughing soilr Nor is it
violent stretch of fancy to suppose that the
young lover whom. like the poor, we have
always with us, experiences in this "youth of
primy Nature" the truth of the line, "In the
spring young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts OF love"

The lockout which occurred in this city yes
terday is the outcome of disagreement that
would appear to be a good deal complicated.
The parties 10 it are the Clothing Manufact-
urers Association, the United Cloak Cutters
and the KNIGHTS of Labor. What position the
Knights occupy is not clear. Both the manu-
facturers and cutters claim them as support
ers. The manufacturers give ont that they
have no quarrel with the Knights, and that
therefore there is no reason to believe that
the Knights will antagonize them. On the
other hand the cutters claim that individual
Knights have already come over to them. and
that it is only a question of time when the
entire body will come over. Tomorrow the
Knights are to hold convention. which IS
likely to have an important bearing upon the
controversy. 1t is to be hoped that basis OF
agreement may speedily be reached which Will
be fair and satisfactory to all concerned.

ORA Ting TIE LINE AT TIE CAT1LRY.

Another misunderstanding has occurred, as
NO learn from "The Ncw-York Sun" in the
Southern Society. A reception given in the
clubhouse in West Twenty -ffthst. last Thurs
day evening to Mrs. Pickett, widow Of the
Confederate hero at Gettysburg, and Mrs
Custer, widow of General Custer, of tho Union
Army, is the occasion OF it, and the members
of the club are discussing it publicly with their
usual frankness. So far as Mrs. Pickett is
concerned no dissatisfaction is felt as it is
conceded on all hands that a reception to the
widow of the famous Confederate hero by the
Southern Society in its own clubhouse was
eminently fitting and proper. AS to Mrs. Custer
there is different feeling. General Custer
fought on the other side. Not only that he
was very much in earnest in his fighting. So
much so, that he was rapidly promoted from a
Second Lieutenancy in 1861 to be Major
General in 1865. lie was a cavalry officer, and
on several occasions'led his men in advance Of
tho army into quiet neighborhoods in Virginia
and elsewhere, when he was entirely unex-
pected and no preparations had been made to
receive him. His manner On those occasions
was so abrupt as to lead the inhabitants ~
suspect that he was actuated by unfricndy
motives. In leading charge, too, he was so
boisterOus and aggressive as to be really quite
offensive to citizens of the Confcdcacy who
happened to be in front of him, either on foot
or horseback. There was general feeling
throughout the Confederacy that his behavior
was not conciliatory nor kind, besides being in
violation Of the Constitution. In short, he was
not though to be proper person.
This being the state of things the action of
the Southern Society in giving to his widow a
reception in the clubhouse caused consid-
cradle STIR" and there is talk of several prom
nent members rendering their designations"

But there is point of course, where Tor
bcarance ceases 1t was in the genuine spirit
Of forgiveness that the members Of tho South
ern Society gave up their citizenship in their
native States, sunderng their homo ties and
associations and all their profitable business
connections, just to come TO New-l0rk ana
assist Tammany Hall in governing the city and
State They have done, and are doing, this
with great cheerfulness from a certain sense OF
duty. But it was never intended to extend
a general amnesty. The line must be drawn
somewhere. A few members of the Southern
Society who, according to the prominent mem
Der quoted above, desired " to pose as ultra
liberal in their views" have disguised every
true follower of Lee and Jackson by carrying
the spirit Of forgiveness beyond all reason in
extending to Mrs. Custer the distinction OF
public reception. We presume they will he

There was nothing to matter with ethe~d
mildness yesterday.

A curious discussion as been in progress b
the English press recentl on the question A h
whether it is lawful fora householder to kill
man who is breaking intdhis residence. All so,ts
of authorities lave been appealed to, and a de,
cision has finally been ivcn, based upon the
opinions Of the most emihnt jursts in the land
that, whereas 1t is perfectly lawful to shoot 4
burglar when he IS engages in the act Of breaking
into the house, man haI no right to fire on =
burglar who. having comleted his job, is seen
making OF with lbs booty The reason for max.
ing this distinction Is that while the burglar \
in the house or in tie act obreaking into it then
is reasonable ground for hlieving that he con.
templates violence, whereas, he has sccomplishea
his robbery and is seen maklg of with the stolen
property, the suppostion tat he contemplate
violence no longer exists ancit is this supposiusa
alone which renders it ,ustiiiale to shoot him.
