AHLwARDT, THE JEW BATTER

= 4 IL
Why any number OF American citizens,
native or foreign born, should have invited
Rector Ahlwar1t the notorious Prussian
jew batter, to come TO this country and
under their auspices deliver lectures
abusive OF u large, respected aud influ-
entail portion Of the people of the United
States is, and must ever remain, one of
those things no fellow can find out They
may regard him as a freak OF nature. and
for that reason have imported him, for ii
is well nigh impossible to believe that any
one living in and breathing the liberal
spirit of this republic, should be i'll sym
pathy with man whose every word and
act is dictated by fanaticism, bigotry, preju-
dice and Intolerance.
At any rate, Ahlwardt is here and he
has announced his purpose. 1t is to arrcs'
all classes, and especially the workingmcn,
against the Jews. This purpose is not
entirely lacking in the element OF humor,
when it is remembered how large per
centage OF the workingmen of the country
is employed 10y Jewish manufacturers and
by Jewish business men of every kind. But
1t is not so much his possible or impossible
success with which the American public
have to deal, but the presumption of this
bigot who has the audacity to transfer
his hate breathing eTnanatious to this coun-
try, and to come here with the avowed in
tention to stir up discord and strife among
its people
OF course, he will make no imprcs sion
The Jews of the United States are respected
us foremost i'll every public and private
undertaking; as good, Industrious peaceful
citizens, fulfilling every obligation to So
| ciety and the State, cha aritable and benevo-
| lent, their benefactions not limited by creed
or nationality. They fill the highest public
offices, and dishonest Jewish official
| is a rarity But Ahlwardt says they are
Jews; that is the head aud front OF their
offending.
He will find few to countenance his veno-
nous rant, for he has borrowed the livery
of heaven to serve the devil in.

How He Prevented a Panic.

One night at a London theater some odds
and ends of scenery took fire. and very per
ceptible odor of smoke alarmed the specta-
tors A panic seemed to be imminent. when
an actor appea red ON the stage. Ladies and
gentlemen he said, compose yourselves.
There is no danger. 1 give you my word
of honor there is no danger The audience
did not seem reassure. Ladies and gen
tlemen,'' continued the comedian, rising to
the necessities of the occasion; ''cnnfound it
all; do you think if there was any danger
I'd be here?" The panic collapsed Pos

At the Capital.

The sanguine office seeker now,
With buzZing brain and beaded brow,
Which wearily he wipes;
Doth wander with his work well done,
Through winding ways in Washington,
To lay his little pipes.
What though the whistling winter wind
To him is wofully unkind,
He fears no frigid day;
For he feels sure that in the spring
When biithesOme boDny bluebiris sing,
He'll pipe his little lay.

existence OF the Division should be made

TRUSTS NOT MENTIoNED.

In his annual report TO Congress At
torney General Harmon fails TO refer to
the numerous unprecedented trusts or to
give reason why the antitrust law is not
enforced by his staff OF District Attorneys.
This omission plainly Indicates that the law
is Imperative, or The Attorney General is
neglecting his duty, AMI as he does not 80
declare ii in his report the fact must be
accepted that he is friendly to trusts and
contentcd to allow them to thrive un-
niolcsted.
Last year 1t cost the public $5.62S,223 to
maintain the Department of Justice, OF
which the Attorney General is to a great
extent the controlling power. While he
cannot overlook the details of protecting
pIblic interests from yiolators of the law
he has the power to direct that it shall
be done when an influence like that of the
trusts destroys general prosperity. Neither
the present incumbent, his predecessor or
their master the President, has at any
time since the present administration as
sumed the management of public affairs
shown the slightest desire to drive this
tuiSf ouS VI tAistthtC, anu ~ 10
doubtful If such policy would NEE. their
approval could il he put in force.
In contrast TO this illustration Of Official
negligence the attorney general OF New
York is actively waging war on trusts.
He has begun a series OF prosecutions that
deserves imitation in every State in the
Union, and his attack on the sugar and
tobacco trusts should cause the adniDis-
tration TO hang its head in shame. The
communism OF pclf'' under his vigorous
treatment is rapidly running TO cover, and
his report TO the New York assembly will
differ in comparison with that OF A ttorney
General Harmon, inasmuch $ ii will not be
an apology for what he failed TO DO.
Unless the combinations OF Eianufactur-
ing, mercantile and transportation inter
csts for the purpose of prey ing upon the
public is not speedily checked this country,
as means of self-protection, Will urely
drift into socialism. Many of our lsgis
lative bodies are already controlled in the
interests OF these vampires of trade, and
when the masses become convinced that
our halls OF justice are also under their in
fiuence an effort will be made to conduct
our most important business affairs by the
general public for the welfare of the
general public. OF course the possibility
of an adoption of this alternative is now
very remote, but the sentiment toward
socialism in municipal affairs is growing,
and its success in cheapcning the cost OF
gas, water, electric lighting, and street
car facilities to the public will lead to its
adoption in other ways, provided trusts
become too bur,le nsome.

THE Senators can not hold~a candle to
their brethren in the lower branch of
Congress, so far as the onslaught OF their
office-hunting constituents is concerned.
The Representatives. do not seem to be
especially disturbed, but the Senator
can't stand the pressure. Much comment
has been occasioned by keeping the Senate
chamber closed to visitors subsequent to
adjournment.
The rule has heretofore been that
tourists and others inspecting the Capitol
could wander open-mouthed through the
Senate chamber and look at the little
silver plates on the desks to their hearts
content. But now a messenger Ca rPfully
and continuously guards each entrance.
and none are allowed to pass except those
ordinarily admitted in open session.
Even the guards have not known why this
new departure has been taken and the
word was given out that it was sought to
save the new carpet from being too
speedily soiied. Bat IL is now authorita-
lively stated that the precautions taken are
intended TO prevent the in-rushing of office
seekers Immediately after adjournment
or to lie in wait for the returning Sena tor
who has left his pocket-book lying on the
desk and returns for it.

THE remark OF Public Printer Benedict
that two TINS of paper were required to
print Tuesdays bills has opened n"re than
one persons eyes. Already IN the Senateoi2
bills and sixteen joint resolutions have
been presented, and the Senators have
only had three chances at presenting them.
During the three sessions of the last Con-
gress 2,SO9 bills were introduced and about
200 joint resolutions.
If the present rate Is kept up all previous
records will be smashed Broken is too
soft a term. The journal clerk has kept
his force guing night and day and by
Saturday night will have mis- bills all prop
erly entered. But it is hard work.

 Man VIII Die.

 Omaha, April 1S.-The World-HeraId publishes an open letter from it's edi- tor, ex-Congressman Bryan, to Presi- dent Cleveland, in part as follows.
 Since you secured the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law you havd very properly taken the place so long held by the author of that law, Senator sherman, and are now the acknowledge ed leader of the gold-standard advo- cates of the United States, both demo- crats and republicans, and to you there, fore the people naturally look for a plain presentation of the argument in favor of sound money as you under stand sound money, or at least for am intelligent definition of sound money. What do you mean by the phrase sound money?
 ''In one place you describe your oppo- nents as "the forces of silver mono- metallism,' but you nowhere explain all you mean by sound money or what you consider cheap money Everybody favors sound money and a safe curren- cy. If by sound money you mean a gold standard, why did you avoid the use of the word gold' in your letterg If by "a safe currency YOU mean birnet- allism, why did you avoid the use of the word 'bimetallism' in your letter?
 twill you state frankly what kind of financial system We shall enjoy if the sound money sentiment abroad in the land succeeds in saving us from mis- chief and disaster? "
