Mark Twain on the Jews.

The Jew is not a disturber of the
peace of any country. Even his ene-
mics will concede that. He is not a
%loafer, he is not a sot, he is not noisy,
he is not a brawler nor a rioter, he is
not quarrelsome. In the statistics of
crime his presence is conspicionsly
rare-in all countries. With murder
and other crimes of violence he has
but little to do; he is a stranger to
the hangman. In the police court
daily long roll of "assaults's and
''drunk and disorderlies'' his name
seldom appears. That the Jewish
home is a home in the truest n is
o fact which no IN will dispute. The
family is knitted together by the
strongest affections; its members
show each other every due respect /;
aad reverence for the elders is an in
violate law of the house. The Jew is
not a burden on the charities of the
State nor of the city; these could
cease from their functions without
affecting him. When he is well
enough, he works; when he is inca
pacltated, his wi people take care of
him. And not in a poor and stingy
way. but with a fine and large benev-
olence. His race is entitled to be
called the most benevolent of all the
races of men. A Jewish beggar is
not impossible, perhaps such a thing
may exist, but there are few men that
car say they have seen that spectacle.
The Jew has been staged in many
uncomplimentary forms, but so far as
| know, no dramatist has done him

1t was pure, ~disinterested friendship,
according to the senate committee on
privileges and elections, which lmpelled
Col. H. ii. Boyce to pay $3.50 to \
member Of the Ohio Legislature for
voting for Mr.. Hanna, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The latter gentleman did
not have anything to do with the
transaction. Col. Boyce went down
into his own pocket and dug up the
money because be loved Mr.. Hanna
and because be believed that that states
mans return TO the senate was neces-
sary to the salvation Of the country.
1t was doubtless Gel. Boyce's modesty
which impelled him to get oyer into
Canada as soon as the transaction
came TO light, and Il Is the same senti-
ment which causes him to conceal his
whereabouts even DOW. Al least that
ia the light in which the senate cleo
tons committee views the matter. Mr..
Hanna, it finds. was guiltless Of any
wrOng-dOing. 1t was BOyce - the
wicked Boyce-who bought members
of the legislature right, and left and
then retired TO the dominion TO gloat
over his work. A touchlBgly hustful
and confdipg body is the senste COM
mittee on privileges and elections.

Washington, March l0th.-Senaio
Chandler, Of New Hampshire, ha
joined Governor Pingree, of Michigan
in his crusade against trusts, and hai
sent the governor 3 letter Of congratu-
l%atiOns upon Ais recent speech at tn,
banquet Of the Michigan Club. In al
Interview today with a correspondent,
Senator Chandler said:
1.-THE greatest issue next year will Be
the eight against trusts. II the repub-
lican party does not align itself on the
side of the people and against these
combinations 1t will be IN great danger
OF defest.
"'But," he added, al am not willing
to believe that the republican party has
passed entirely into the hands Of the
trusts"
evil anything be done in congress
next session to serve as 3 foundation
for party action3"
al do not know. Something ought
to be done. The tendency Of these
great combinations Is to crush out the
small enterprises and dealers. The
trusts are controlled by a few men
and the mass of business men who have
been conducting independent enter
prises become sAlaried officials and
loose their individuality.
''Chauncey Depew cOmprehends the
injury that viii result from crushing
out the small manufacturers and deal
ers, and rather an interesting story is
connected with that.
"When the pooling bill was being
considered some years ago, Mr.. Depew
gave some interesting testimony, but,
curiously enough, the printed document
prepared for the use Of the committee,
disappeared. Nobody could End 1t.

search, and then Senator German had
it reprinted and circulated. Well. Mr..
Depew spoke most ~touchingly Of the
men of small capital, the firms Of little
means, composed generally Of young
men whose friends, believing in their
integrity. enterprise and honesty, have
advanced the money that they may 60
into business. Mr.. Depew deprecated
the irightful competition these young
men and small firms have TO deal with.
'iHe predicted that, under certain
conditions, every business would, in
five years, be in the hands OF a rust"
''Did he have q remedy?'
''oh, yes" said Senator Chandler.
'sHe wanted TO kill all other trusts by
creating n railroad trust. I suppose
that when Mr.. Depew begins his career
in the senate he Will be the outspoken
opponent Of all trusts except the rail-
road trust, In which he Is interested.
"But, seriously" added the senator,
eve have got to meet this question,
and we ought to meet it boldly. The
point has been reached where we have
combinations ruling everything, from
sugar and lead to brooms and soap and
collins. The only fortunes are those
that are made by the multi-millionaires
who control trusts.
al do no. regard the assertion that
some prices have been cheapened by
trusts as q sufficient excuse for their
existence. The question is whether
prices have been cheapened as much
as they ought to have been. Evidently
not, or such enormous fortunes would
not be made
