GHETTO AND JUDENHETZE.

Two words, both foreign In language and pur-
port, are unpleasantly TO the fore just now. The
one is used, though not judiclously, in this very
city. We have in the real meaning Of the
term no Ghetto here. We never shall have.
There may be a part OF the city in which the
population is chiefly Jewish as there may be
one where ii is equally French or German But
there is TO be in no American city a legally con
stituted pale, within which all men of a certain
creed or race are compelled TO live. The part
of New-YOrk most largely populated by Jews
Is a part Of NewYork and nothing more. 1t Is
under the same charter and laws and the same
police protection and regulation as all other
parts The disgraceful brawing that Is now Of
frequent occurrence there Is a reflection upon
the administration of the whole city. The
Mayor and the police are accountable for II. Ii
is their duty suppress il. just much as TO
suppress disorder anywhere else. or course II
is unspeakably dsgraceful TO the rufflans who
take part IN it, No one should dream Of Charg
ing IL against the Jewish race or the Jewish
religion. Ii is the work Of fellows who would
rather fight than worship, any day. Neverthe-
less, reputable Jews feel kecnly the shame OF
what is being done in the name OF their revered
faith. And, which Is most OF all 10 the present
purpose. every thoughtful citizen has before
him tremendous object lesson in the hideous
ness Of religious or ostensibly religious hatreds
For the ragings of our East Side mobs of
thoughtless boys and sem-criminal loafers are
only mild counter-b blast against the doings Of
the Judenhetze in other lands. Jews in Europe
have been treated far worse than the mission
aries TO the Jews are treated here. and that not
by irresponsible mobs but by organized bands
of the best citizens" and often indeed, by
virtue Of official order What some Jews OF
New-York are doing to Messrs. Dunlap and
Lemberger and their associates is las water
unto wine" compared with what has been done
to Jews not only in Algeria and Russia but
In Prague, and In Vienna, and in Paris it.
self When we remember that the Mayor Of
one OF the foremost capitals Of Europe and
members Of the Parliament Of one Of the great
est Powers have openly advocated universal
massacre of all Jews and of course seizure OF
their goods and have directly melted the mob
10 undertake the monstrous task we can re-
alize what the Judenhetze means. And they
who conduct il are processing Christians some
OF them dignitarles OF the Christian Church,
Is not the purport Of the lesson obvious enough ?
IL the drawings IN the so-called Ghetto are
hateful TO us, as they must be- and II we visit
upon them our severest reprobation as we must
do. the fact must not be ignored that elsewhere
the infamy is on the other side, In far more
culpable degree. II the so-called Ghetto Is de-
testable, far more so Is, and would be to us, the
actual Judenhetze. Let us be careful that the
two be not IN any measure linked together here
The establishment OF the one gives menace OF
the other II we tolerate the increasingly
Ghetto-like character Of part Of the city, We

Sir Alfred Miner would not accept Mr..

TRUSTS BRITISH AND AMERICAN.
Neither rack nor boot nor thumbscrew, nor
any other torture ever known To the Spanish
Inquisition. could force an antitrust free trader
TO face the fact that there are more trusts or IN
dustrlal combinations in Great Britain without
protection than in this country with IL. But
man who will not face that fact, and yet as
serts that the tariff Is the mother Of trusts,
merely brands himself as one who is capable
of repeating assertions disproved by facts
which he dares not mention. No one can plead
ignorance, at least Of the essential truth that
these combinations have long prevailed ana
welded greater power In Great Britain than
In this country. and on both sides have pre-
vailed in branches of business which no tariff
on imports affects as successfully as in other
branches covered by protective duties. These
not secrets. Every man of commOn-school
education knows that the oldest and most pow
