10 the name "s stein" or any name ending with
.stcin Z" strictly Jewish name' Is it not possible
for person with such name to come originally
from another ancestry than Jewish' G.H.
| In this country the name stein and names ending
| In stein indicate Jews practically without excep-
tion. But originally they did not; they indicated
| simply Germsus. In Europe. now, they do not
necessarily indicate Jews. The Lcehtenstsns sro an
1 important Roman Catholic Austrian family Of
prncely rank; tho Kusfseeins arc Austrian mobiles,
and therefore Jews; tho L8wenstens Bav aran
counts and princes when the Jews, during tho last
century were compelled to assume surnames in Ger
many their masters protectors in many cases al.
lowed them to assume their own names; this IL the
| explanation OF the fact that many which 10
| us indicate Jews. are those Of noble families in
| Europe even TO this day.

more likely to have been called a"scarlet letter"
than Senator Yulee's. 9. Gen. Badeau made accu.
sations against Grant He sued for pay for work
