Hard marching brought the command,

BEHIND THE TINES

Hermann Ahlwardt arrived in New York
a few days ago for the purpose of en-.
tightening the people as to the general
characteristics of Hebrews. Herr ALL
wsrdt is travelling against the sun. He
brings with him the glimmer Of an exp,r-
ing civilization. The laws of which 8 9th
and improvidence are enabled in the old
countries to lord it over industry and
thrift have long since passed into disrepute
with us. Herr Ahlwardt proposes to enact
laws stopping the progress of Jews.
Remains history of that race shows what
success similar laws had during the period
it treats of, which is the century before
the Christian Era. In tina period the
dominant idea of the governing power was
TO let the Jews accumulate little money
and then under some form of law 'ake It
from them. The Jews were even allowed
special privileges that they might accufn-
ulate money the more rapidly. But they
seemed to thrive on this kind of treatment.
They we're almost always the wealthy
class of whatever community they we're q
part Of. The complaint 10 now made that
IN Boston the Jews own fOrty.seven pieces
of real estate In each hundred, and hold
m rtgages ON the other tifty-three pieces.
If this il true. it is q bad showing for he
people in the city who are not Jews. II is
not intimated that the Jews have not come
by their property honestly. They have
worked for it as other people do. Ii they
have enjoyed especial privileges it is in
the province of law to place them on
exact equality with other races. But a
proposal to enact laws to stop their pr e
ress is Infamous, although Mr.. Ahiwardt
does not seem aware of the fact. II is
perhaps a matter of regret that Mr.. Ahi-
wardt should have brought his wares to SO
poor . market. When the African
race was Iif ed out Of slavery some thirty
years ago the American people pro-
claimed the doctrine of equality for all
races. The foot of The lorhly white man
was taken from the neck of the l"wiy
negro. The latter was given a chan 9 to
work out of the rut in which his fortune
had been cast. Long before, he doctr ne
had been proclaimed that no mans re-
i,vious belief should bar his way to
wealth or distinction If one 'e'ig on was
! better than another it WAS held that the
| fruit of the better religion would -peaK for
| / self. The law would frame no belief for
any man. We have found this rlan OF
government to work pretty we'll. We have
here the freest people in the world. By
| free we do not mean exemption from dis
| eliminating laws but mental freedom as
we'll. We put tru'b and error side by side
| and let each work for supremacy. 1t ia
true that what we deem to he truth does
not always establish its supremacy. but we
are consoled by the reflection that we uay
not known exactly what truth is. There is
no better way to find out, however, than to
let both truth and error speak for them

where Il was 4 up and forwarded TO
the editor. TT latter, not approving
Of the subject, transmitted the proof,
and said: My dear boy, you agreed TO
write on Armenia, not Africa. This is
of no interest TO the general public.
The wires about the French on the
Niger and the reported march on the
SOudan are probably pure inventions.
In any case. the attack on Sir +. Grey
for his vague generalities is hardly the
thing, and SO on.
My friend simply took the proof,
and writing on II: This is going into
an important paper, and is the true
feeling of the English people, popped
IL into an envelope, and sent il down 70

only with pleuritic symptoms. which
symptoms are by no means universal.
