E. LESSER WRITES

A CARD CONCERNING THE ACTION OF PYTHIANs AT WASHINGTON.
 To the Age Herald
 Yesterdays issue of the Alabama Courier contains an article by Mir. B. Lesser on the Pythian question, and by request of sev- eral of your readers we herewith ask you to publish translation of said article:
 l trust that you will not class me with the tribe of "anti-Semites' or "Christian Socialists' when you see that I am deter mined to address few pertinent remarks to certain Jews who, think, are entitled to hear the truth regarding some of their recent doings.
 am impelled to this step by the nati- vistic, anti-German position taken by some Jewish members in the last session of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pyth. ias.
 If q Blackwell boasts of his ancestors be- ing American for centuries and thereupon, true to his nativistic instincts, utters a flood of vituperation against German cus- toms and languages we may regret this and perhaps wonder that such a course should be pursued by the representative of an order from which something differ ent and better might have been expected; nev- ertheles we may make due allowance for the ignorance and nativistic prejudices of it's author. But when we have the specta- cle of Jews joining this band of intolerant prosecutors, then we believe it is proper to show the bad taste and impropriety Of such a course for them.
 No section on the face of the earth has experienced such unspeakably bitter and lasting persecution than have the Jews. Strangers in all lands, it is only within the last few decades that they have succeeded in establishing for themselves a permanent legal and social station, and there is prob- ably not Jew living whose immediate an- cestors have not themselves witnessed in- stances nf tba 0rnqaaqt infnIarapca and persecution perpetrated on people of their race.
 Such past should of all things be pro- ductive of spirit of tolerance and liberal- mninde,dness, n,lh, and 1t is fact that from every Jewish pulpit lessons of tolerance are taught, and every synagogue has become temple of humanitariauism.
 Then how can Jews, more especially such that lay claim to the adjectives, s'educated and cuitured," reconcile it with their tiyistic mob and to help swell this cry of "Hepp, HeppI" against the German and thelr language, language in which Heinrich Heine sung his immortal lyrics. And yet we are compelled 10 announce that representative from our own state, A. Steinhart of Greenville, has by word end vote shown himself an enemy to the Herman element and has refused to permit justice being done to the German ritual. And also among the committee, to whom mitted, there was found a Jew, Abraham Meyer, who thought it expedient to side With the majority, to approve Blackwell's course, to brand the Indianapolis conven- tion of German lodges as an anarchist con. splfacy and to condemn the manly action of German lodges of Birmingham. Shame apon such creatures as Meyer and Stein- hart, who have become traitorg to the tra- dlfions of their race and have lowered themselves by joining in the crusade of in. tolerance. PYrHIAN.

A Few More Evidences That the Work
  of the ELECTROP0ISE Is Permanent!

Mrs. Lucy E. Bowling, Vine street, Nash- vile, Tenn, August 10, 1894: "My opin- ion of the Electropoise expressed February Is. 1892, is unchanged.'

 MT. J. T. Atkins, Postoffice, Memphis, Tenn, August 10. 1S94 ''I will say now that the Electropoise has entirely cured my rheumatism and my general health is as good as it ever was in my life.'
 MT. w. Il. McNeil, Nashville, Tenn. August 10, 1894: "I have had no cause to change my mind regarding the Electro poise, and l still use it and lend it to my neigh bors, who are delighted with its ef- fects. One of them says it has cured him of inflammatory rheumatism.
 Col. M. 0. Goodlett, the oldest practicing lawyer at the Nashville bar, August 9, 1s94 ''I am thoroughly satisfied that the Elec- tropoise does more good than medicine, and think that every family should have one, as the effects are entirely satisfactory.o
 Mir. R. Wilson, Tullahoma, Tenn. Au- gust 8, 1894: "I am still of the same opin- ion that the Electropoise will cure people who were afflicted as was.'
 Mrs. L. H. Edwards, 911 Woodland street, Nashville, Tenn, August g, 1894: "The Electropolse is certainly invaluable for the cure of indigestion.
