its dealing with theme entirely new in
English literature. Despite its satire, its
merciless exposure of fraud and hypocrisy,
its humorous raillery at Jewish foibles and
weaknesses, and its realistic pictures
OF unalleviated poverty, the Keynote of
the book is sympathy. Zangwill may not
have meant to act as an interpreter for his
people to the world at large, but, un1ues-
tionably, this is what he ha. done. and he
has given US a picture so full of humanity,
so flghtened by sterling manhood and
Womanhood, and the spirit of devotion, of
loyalty and earneStness that is human,
rather than racial, that humanity, of
whatever race, must be moved upon by it.
We have had the Jew in literature, but
1t is Shylock, or Fagin who has generally
stood for US as the literary race-type. But
Zangwill, out of the fullness of knowledge,
has given US Reb Shemuel, learned,
shrewd, bigoted, infe1ible. tender Reb
Shemuel, sticking, with maddening in
slstence, for the letter of O ridiculous law,
spreading broad mantle of charity over
offenders other than himself and his
household. There is no scene in modern
literature fuller of pathos, more intensely
dramatic than that where Reb Shemuel,
having waited In vain for the presence OF
his only son at the Seder ceremonial, goes
forth at last, full of fathe-ly anxiety, to
seek his boy. and finds him, not sick, as he
deemed he must be to have neglected
Seder, but issuing from public restaurant,
where he has been violating the passover,
in company with variety actress of an
alien race, the strange woman" of the
Proverbs, for whom the faithful Jew has an
hereditary hatred.
His son-his, Reb Shemuers! He, the
servant of the Most High, the teacher of
the Faith to reverentlal thousands, had
brought a son into the world to profane
the Namel Verify his gray hairs would
now go down with sorrow to a speedy
gravel And the sin was half his own. He
had weakly abandoned his boy in the midst
of great city. For one awfu instant, that
seemed an eternity, the old man and the
young faced each other across the chasm
that divided their lives" Then the boy
puts his companion into a ca b, springs in
himself, and the scene is over.

Gladys laughed merrily, ripping musi-

To the present edition, at the request of
numerous readers, Zangwiil has added, he
confesses reluctantly, a glossary of ''Yid-
dish" words and phrases, based on one
supplied TO the American edition by
another hand. This he does ''to please
those who share Mr.. Andrew Lang's and
Miss Rosa Dartle's desire for information,' -

learned in law and the Jewish traditions,
and he is of all things pious. In one of
the earlier scenes we see him buying sal
mon in the fishmarket, paying two guineas
for single fish, when he encounters the
rich patron who has given him the two
guineas in charity. The latter reproaches
him: "How can you have the face to go
and spend two guineas-two whole guineas,
all you had in the world, on mere luxury
like salmonP" Manasseh elevated his
arched eyebrows. "If / do not buy salmon

quietly, when shall / buy salmonI AS
you say, it is a luxury, very dear. 1t is
only on rare occasions like this that my
means run to it.''
"There was dignified pathos about the
rebuke that Modified the magnate. He
felt that there was reason in the beggar's
point of view, though it was point to
which ne would never himself have risen
unaided."
And thus, from first to last, Manasseh
permits others to obtain mercy through
charity to him. His adventures are rare
and glorious, and the narrative leaves him
at point where, in fit of generosity, he
has donated f100 20 the synagogue and
successfully schnorrs from its members
the necessary sums to make up the
amount. All his performances are on the
same magnificent scale as these, and from
first to last he is wheedling, dirty,

THE HEBREW IN LITERATURE.

In response to a popular demand we
have, at last, a one-volume edition OF
"The Children of the Ghetto. issued by
Macmillan & Co., and selling at 81 so.
This is good news. When, four or five
years ago, Zangwill's wonderful ''Study
of Peculiar People" went begging for a
publisher, it was finally brought out in
this country by the Jewish Publication
Society of America Ga concern which an
nually sends forth admirable books in two
volumes, a shape both awkward and expen-
sive. As a consequence the book had few
readers. 1t has taken several years to
bring it into the public esteem, which it
so richly merits, as one of the greatest books
of the last quarter-century.

We do not believe the Logan

that the purpose of those who oppose
woman's suffrage, is to defeat state

ought not to be published. We oppose
woman's suffrage partly because we
are afraid that the presence of the
s1ffrage provision in the constitution
may operate to defeat it when it comes

ALL patriotic Utonians must deplore
the manifest purpose of the major
ity of the convention to run the
the state of Utah as sort of nursing
mother to all sorts of manufacturing
schemes and speculations, We sin
cerely hope that such policy will not
prevail. We repeat that if suffrage,
prohibition and bounty are all secured
in the constitution it will be impos-
sible to elect it in Utah. Nor do we
hesitate to say that If all are included
it ought not to be elected. We had

HIS 800 ANXIOUS WIVES.
Should the Ameer of Afghanistan Die Thes
Would All Be Shot.


There is a certain village in the Mid
lands where the illness of the ameer OF
Afghanistan has been followed with
painful anxiety. The reason is to be
found in the following curious, but, l
believe, perfectly authentic story: Some
years ago an enterprising young tailor
left the village in question and Went
abroad to seek his fortune. He eventu-
ally found his way to Kabul. Here great
luck awaited him. He obtained the pat
ronage of royalty and became the poole
of Afghanistan He had left a sweet
heart behind in England, and, as soon
ss lie found himself on the road to for
sane he sent for the damsel to join him.
She came, but here fortune deserted the
tailor. His intended bride in her turn
obtained the patronage of royalty, with
the result that she eventually became
one of the 800 wives of Abdurraham.
This, however, is only the first act OF
the tragedy 1t is understood that, by
the laws of Afghanistan, when the
ameer dies, the whole of his 800 wives
must be shot. The laws of the Afghans
are as immutable as thoseof their ancient
neighbors, the Medes and Persians, and
the whole of the little Midland village
where the ameer's English wife was
born and where her parents are still liv'
ing has been during the past week or
two in high state of excitement over
the possible fate of the young lady. For
tunately the ameer seems better now
and it is to hoped, if only for the sake
Of 1is wives, whatever their nationali-
ty, that the improvement may continue
In the meantime cannot diplomacy do
anything for the young woman? At his
time of life, and with a gouty habit to
boot, 1 should have thought Abdurrah
might have ben induced to get along
with 299 of them. If, however, he must
have round number in the family Cir
Gle, perhaps an exchange might be me-
gotiated. London Truth.
