The State Gazette'--the State organ

a column OF editorial today to Mr..
Schober n the Railway Taxation bill.
1t Is not abusive. so it is only dun. 1t
consists mainly of ~platitudes and para
doxes about the benefits that the rail-
roads bestow upon farmers n matr.
facturers and everybody else. 1t fails to
perceive tina the same arguments apply
to every class of property or enterprise.
If the railroads benefit the farmers
surely the farmers benefit the railways.
The same is true of the manufacturers.
Indeed the farmers and the manufac-
turers and the public IN general do the
railroad about a Thousand times as much
good as they receive. They all existed
and prospered for fifty or sixty centuries
we quite fail to see how the railroads
could get along without them. So if

benefactors and the railroads should pay
the taxes as the dependents or bene-
ficiaries.
But after dronfng on through five or
six hundred words of drivel. the. .Ga-
zette', at last comes to the case of Jersey
City. which it disposes of summarily in
these words
Jersey City owes as much to the rail-
roads as the railroads owe to Jersey
City. and more, for without railroads
Jersey City would not have crown to its
present proporttons and would not AYE
become the prosperous community THAT
it is today.
1t IS only necessary to point to the
case of Brooklyn to dispose of this as
sertion. There is a city which has not

Brooklyn is as big and rich and beauti-
full as Jersey City is dwarfed and
cramped and dingy.
What causes the difference? The rail-
roads. They occupy our available space
and pay no taxes. They make some of
our t~horoughfares unsafe and others un-

shunted from the tracks to the piers and
from the piers to the floats. They are
among us but not of us. They are in

enjoy all the benefits of its municipal
government and in return they claim
exemption from all expense. The Ga

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE suit of f.
w. Barnwell and children against the Sa-
vannah. Florida and Western railroad has
been on in the Gig court for three days
past, and not until after dinner to-day
were any Of the arguments in the case
heard. All of the time until this evening
has been taken up in hearing testimony
from both sides. and the variety of evi-
dence that has been introduced makes
the case of rare interest.
The plaintiffs in the case allege that
Mrs. Barnwel was woman Of good
health and that on the night in which she
went from this city to station four miles
east of here, in getting from the train,
through careleSsneSS of the trainmen, she
fell and received such injuries as resulted
in her death. They had several witnesses
to testify that the train stopped in the
wrong place and that she was forced to
jump in gully, thereby receiving the
fatal injury.
The defendants deny all these allega-
Mrs BarnWeu was in very bad health:
that she did not fall from the train, but
tEat she died from natural causes a month
or more after the alleged accident The
arguments begun after dinner this even
ing and the case went to the Jury before
court house since the trial. and every
feature of the case has been watched with
eagerness and interest.
Junius Baker, young man who was
struck by falling tree in Berrien county
last Friday, died from his injuries yester-
day. He was well known in that section
and this, and has many friends to regret
his untimely taking off.

AHLwARDr oN LIE JEws.
The German Anti-Semite Leader De-
Iivers "A Bitter .Tirade.

MYERS a bAAAeE
New York. Dec. 12.-Rector Ahlwardt,
the anti-semite. spoke at Cooper Union
this evening on The Essence Of Mod
ern Judaism"
Only handful Of people gathered to
hear the famous "Jew-baiter." There
were just about as many policemen in
uniform in the han as there were specta-
tors. There were few Jews present
Herr Ahlwardt began by saying that
the inquiry to be made was into the ques-
ton why the poor were becoming poorer
and the rich richer. There was Interrupt
ton at this point and Herr Ahlwardt ask
ca that he be not interrupted. Continuing,
DE said that he would draw the difference
between the Aryan and Semitic races.
There is. he said. in every one of the
Aryan races the love of labor. The Aryan
races stand on the ground Of labor, and
while from this they are not free from
all evils, yet, al least, the foundation Is
good
At this point there was an unexpected
interruption. a young man directly in
front of Herr Ahlwardt rose in his seat
and threw two missiles at him. They
both missed but they struck the stage
IL was evident that they were eggs. In
q minute the place was in an uprOar, but
a dozen policemen sWOOped down on the
offender and he hustled out.
This gave Herr Ahlwardt a text. He
said this exhibition was probably as good
a
OF the Jew. HAD this been an Aryan,"
he said, "at least he would not have
missed
He said that the Semitic d.d not stand
on the foundation of labor. With the
Aryan labor was a demand of nature. The
Jews, however looked upon labor as
curse, and always sought to throw the
labor on the shoulders of the Aryan.
Taking another tack, Herr Ahlwardt said
he did not want to attack the religion of
the Jews. The Jew can build all the
synagogues he desires. If he does not
eat pork il is none of our business, in fact,
II is a matter of cOngratuiation, as he
leaves us at least something he does not
grasp for"
Herr Ahlwardt spoke of the Old Tesla
ment, Moses and the passage of the Jews
out Of Egypt. He was frequently inter-
rupted.
In conclusion, he stated that the blood
OF the Aryan race was running out
through great wound. The money was
going into the Golfers Of the capitalists,
and while these We're not all Jews, il was
the Jewish influence that was ever alluded
10.
In answer to an invitation that he would
hear any one who wanted to debate with
him, two men in the audience made short
speeches to which Herr Ahlwardt replied,
and the meeting came to an end. The 90
licemen ranged themselves around the
hall and order was preserved. Herr ALL
wardt was taken out the back way and
quietly spirited away.
