T q
THE JEWISH SOUTH.

British workman in the labor market not that they
belong to another religion not difficult to
understand the anti-Senite propagandsm in Russia,
Austria Hungary and Germany, where jealousy OF
Jewish sucsess and Jewish wealth squickened among
the needy proetariat by sectarian bitterness It is
less easy to why the movement has made
progress in France, the land of the Revolution,
where the Jews obtained their full share in the ma
tional liberties, and under Napoleon were admitted
to high offices. The Rabbis have been recognized and
paid public officers by the State. Men of Jewish
descent have distinguished the nseves and done honor
to France scholars, of science, musicians,
painters, dramatic artists and political writer's. Yet,
in the closing years of the nineteenth century revi
val of clerical activity has been able to blow into
flame the smoudering embers Of medieval hatred.
Nevertheless, in France in England, the leading
Jews have performed, with scrupuous conscientious
ness, their civic and social duties If they had not
attained the position Of influence enjoyed in this
country, for example by the late Baron Ferdinand
de Rothschd and the members of his family, who
actively engaged hewas not in the operations
of the haute finance in city of London that due
to the defective constitution of French society.

measure, strong enough to gain emancipation by de-
grees but they did so they were logged by popu-
lar dislike and envy. At the close of the thirteenth
century, the Jews to the number, it is said of
100000 considerable portion Of the population in
those days-were driven out Of England by Act of
Parliament, and, though few individuals crept in
stealthily from time to tme it was not deemed per-
MISSILE by law for Jew to live and trade among us
down to the time of the Commonwealth Cromwell
allowed them to return In 1855, avowing that his
sympathy was great with this poor people whom
God chose and to whom he gave the law" But he
possibly not less influenced by his perception of
the benefit to trade and to the development of bank
ing and international exchange from the immigration

ing from Amsterdam and other centres of Dutch COM
merce and having a large commend Of capital.
Though some Jews of different class arrived after
wards from Germany and Poland, the restored COM
munity in England from the first well-to-do and
returned to the conditions of medieval abase-
ment. Political disabilities, Of course, lasted down
to the present century, but the English Jews were
powerful in finance long before and not few of them
by inter-marriage with Christians became fused IN
the general body of British society The gaps their
ranks thus created filled by frequent accessions
from abroad. 1t must be said that the English Jews
not only took their proper share in the ordinary du-
ties of citizenship but by their splendid iberality in
the work of charity and education relieved the press
ure on the people at large The open handed though
judicous and discriminating beni6cence of the Mon

remnant of old-word antipathies and, after lie had
become the idol of English Toryism, little was heard
of the taunts that used to be rife before the abolition
of the Jewish disabilities.
1t is said that every nation has the Jews that it
deserves If this be true, it is very creditable
to this country, for certainly in other European
State has the Jewish population been SO thoroughly
Incorporated with the general body of citizens and
