BENJAMIN Dlsrasli on the jews.

The Life OF Lord George Bertinck. by BEN
JAM1N DIsRAELI, was worth reproducing by
E. p. button 4 Co., partly for the sake Of an
admirable introduction by Mr.. ca ARIES
WHITLEY, but mainly on accoun Of the
famous twenty-fourth chapter. in which
the author discusses the relations that have
long existed and still In some measure ex-
lat between the Semitic race, which. under
the pane Of Jewe, is found in every country
of Europe, and the Teutonic, Slovenian and
Celtic races which have appropriated that
division OF the globe. Lord Beaconstisld's
thoughts upon this subject, to which, natur-
ally, he has given much attention, deserve
az careful and respectful attention to-day
as they received when they were penned.
We shall seize the opportunity to consider
them after a glance at some Of Mr.. Whibley's
Introductory remarks. We are reminded
that in 1852, four years after the sudden
death OF the subject Of the biography, when
Disraeli essayed in Lord George Bentinck-
the portraiturc Of an English worthy"
he was already better known as a statesman
than as a novelist, This. doubtless, ex-
mains why the work was received with re-
spect not always shown TO those who have
nraotiaed successfully the art of fiction.
MIR. whitley submits that 1t merited all the
respect accorded to its sound Judgment and
well balanced style. Fashioned after the
best models of history, it is embellished,
like the works of Livy and T~hucydides, with
deftly drawn characters and authentic
speeches. The ~biograPher. moreover, like
Thucydides, was writing of what he had
seen and heard. Not merely were all the
documents ready to hand; he himself had

Tho causes OF the ruin which befel the
Federalist party at the general election
Of 1900 are condensed, as we have said, in
q paragraph. Prof. Bassett sees that the
downfall Of federalism came because the
party had outlived its usefulness. It's
function-that Of giving strength to the
Union IN the early days Of a political oxperi-
ment-had been performed. 1t was the
party Of the so-called superior classes, OF
men who were supposed not to be influenced
by passions and who had strong purposes
and conservative instincts. Unquestion-
ably 1t had solved the problems OF the Nc
JlV0 ORGANIZATION u q hO"
but subsequently other questions arose
concerning internal affairs. Should the
people DO trusted with q large share OF
government? "The Federalists recoiled be-
fore the alleged prejudice and violence OF
tho masses, declaring that Incompetence
could not be trusted. They sought to
restrain the violent, they expressed open
disdain Of the masses and they developed
a party selfshness which they wished others
to believe was patriotism. They broke
into factions and dreamed mad dreams OF
expansion, till, at last, they gave the mas
terly leader Of men who opposed them an
opportunity to organize a majority Of the
people against their supremacy. 30 much
did they bring into contempt the idea OF
government by the superior classes that no
capable politician since 1900 has dared to
place his cause on any other ground than
the will ofthepeople.'

1t was natural that manufactures should
come slowly into a country where the
rudimentary forms Of manufacture were
still almost universally prdctised. English
policy had thwarted their rise in Colonial
times, and the Revolutionary era was not
favorable to progress in this field. In
England power machinery and other In
ventions had been effectively developed
by 17s5, and it was impossible for the old
hand system still used in America to COM
pete in the production Of manufactured
commodities. Both capital and Govern
mental protection were needed to over
come the initial difficulties Of such com
petition and to enable the Americans to
untersell England in their native market.
The mild tariff policy Of the period had

than the kthenians." Moreover, although
the suiferings Of the jews have been In
finitely more prolonged and varied than
those Of the Athepians, the Greek genius
appears exhausted. The creative genius
OF Israel, on the contrary, never shone 30
bright; and when the Russian, the French
man and the Anglo-Saxon, amid applaud
ing theatres or the choral voices Of solemn
temples, yield themselves to the full spell
of a Mozart or a Mendelssohn, it seems
difficult to comprehend how these races
can reconcile II to their hearts to persecute
a jew"
In the course Of the same remarkable
chapter Disraeli refers to the frtility Of
persecution in the case Of the jew. Other
races have been wiped of the face Of the
earth. The attempt to extirpate the Jews
has been made under the most favorable
auspices, and on the largest scale; the most
effective means that man could command
have been pertinaciously applied to this
object for the longest period Of recorded
time. Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings,
Roman emperors, Scandinavian crusaders.
Gothic princes and holy inquisitors have
alike devoted their energies to the fulfil
ment Of this common purpose. Expatria-

Disraeli adds that all the tendencies Of
the Jewish race are conservative. They ara
a living and striking evidence Of the falsity
Of a modern ~dootrine-the natural equality
Of man. The Jewish raoe, which Is proud
Of its blood, instinctively ~repudiates the
doctrine. The bias Of the Jews is toward
religion. property and natural sristocracy.
For which reason Disraeli ~pronounces It
for the interest Of statesmen that this bias
Of a great race should be encouraged, and
their energies and creative powers enlisted
in the cause Of the existing social order.

The jewish Encyclopedia Completes.

With volume XII. now before us an ad.
mirable work, THE Jewish Encyclopedia
Funk and Wagnalls Company, edited By
DR.. Isidore Singer, has reached completion.
As zach volume has appeared It's values
not merely to the Jews who might be sup
posed to be chiefly interested, but to every
one who has to deal with matters touching
the Jews or their institutions, has become
more apparent. The articles have been
written effectively and impartially and
supply definite and clear information on q
multitude of topics that are OF general
interest.
The whole body Of information relating to
the Old Testament is Of importance to Jew
and Gentle alike. The description Of the
customs Of a people living in great numbers
among us is Of almost daily use. Apart
from the more scientific portions Of the
%cyclopedia, the accounts Of important Jew
families, present and past, or those Of Jewish
communities in this country and abroad,
are Of great practical convenience.
In this last volume the articles that attract
attention at once are naturally those dealing
with the Talmud and the elaborate &C.
count Of the Jews in the United States.
zionism Is treated very fully, and under
Typography is a well nigh complete list OF
Jewish printers. Among the biographies
will be found Arminius Vambery. Richard
Wagner and Israel Zangwill.
1t seems remarkable that With the
numerous and intelligent community Of
Jews to count upon this excellent work
should have run the risk Of failing. Now
that it is complete, and it's worth has been
demonstrated and recognized, 70 trust
the publishers will secure q proper return
for their enterprise.

II that be possible, all that the Heb rews
have lone in the olden time for man and
all which it may be their destiny yet to

an object Of aversion, they should receive
all the honor and favor from the northern
and western races which in civilized and
refined nations should be the lot Of those
who charm the public taste and elevate the
