RIBIB's LIFE THREATENED.

Last week Rabbi A. r. Levy, the
secretary of the Jewish Agricultural
Aid Society Of America, received a
threatening letter, written in good
German, by young man who signed

of the letter demanded of Rabbi Levy
the immediate payment of $1,000 in
cash before prominent witnesses,
whose names and addresses he stated

AN ESTIMATE OF THE JEWS.

An estimate of the Jews by the
famous orator and publicist, George r.
Vending, was recently published in
the Stanton Dispatch-News. Mr..
Vending in the course of his article
said:
There is not a drop of Jewish blood
in my veins. am not connected with
the Jews by the marriage of any near
or distant kinsman, l owe no Jew
dollar and no Jew owes me. Among
all my personal or intimate friends,
cannot name one single Jew | speak,
therefore, from the vantage ground of
absolute independence and impartial
ity."
Such is the viewpoint from which
Mr.. Vending ponders upon "a splen-
did race" splendid in patience, in
brotherly love, in endurance, in sa-
gacity and temperance, intellectual
resources; splendid in their inhexible
adherence to their Mosaic ideals"
DO you want an aristocracy of blood
and birth?' inquiries Mr. Vending.
The Jews, then, are the purest blood
ed people and have the best establish
ed descent in the world" Neither Mi
rabeau in the French Assembly, nor
Patrick Henry, in the House Of Bur
gesses, nor Sam Adams in the Colonial
days, ever said more thrilling thing
than Disraeli's reply in the English
Commons to O'Connells charge that he
was a Jew:
Yes, am Jew! And when the an
cestors of the right honorable gentle
man were brutal savages in an I'M
known island, mine were priests in the
temple!" Who could answer such a
magnificent statement as that? Who,
in the light Of human history, are the
aristocrats if not the Jews?
DO you seek an aristocracy of tai
ent?" asks Mr.. Vending. The great
church historian, Neander; Napoleon's
marshals, Soult and Massena Gambet-
ia, the brilliant cynic Heine-they
were Jews. The worlds list of great
soldiers, authors, musicians, painters,
poets, philosophers and financiers
contain more Hebrew names than
could recite in many hours"
If an aristocracy of wealth is sought
let it be remembered that the combin-
ed financial power of the Jews in Eu-
rope and America can "precent the
floating of any national loan which
may be put upon the markets of the
world
Then Mr.. Vending continues:

ut is spurious, false Christianity
that hates Jews. The mystery of the
Incarnation found expression in the
flesh and blood of Jew, and therefore,
in sense, we worship a Jew We get
our Ten Commandments, the very foun-
dation of our civilization-through the
Jews. We sing Jewish psalms, we are
uplifted by the passion and poetry of
Jewish biographers for the only history
we have Of Christ. Wet get our Pauline
theology from a Jew, and we catch our
earliest glimpse Of the next world
through the sublime apocalytic vision
of Jew. Then, forsooth, we Christians
turn about and sheer at Jews! | have
conversed with teachers of philosophy
who spoke slightingly of the Jews, and
yet We're teaching with enthusiasm
ideas which they had absorbed from
Maimonides and Spinoza; the two
greatest philosophers, emitting Kant,
have heard musicians denounce Jews
and then spend days and nights trying
to interpret the beauties Of Rossini,
Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn and Strauss
all Jews | talked the other day with
gifted actress, and heard both her
and her husband sweepingly condemn,
confidentially, of course, the whole
race Of Jews and yet that woman
would give half her remaining life if
she could only reach the heights which
the great queen of tragedy, Rachel,
trod with such majestic poWer-and
Rachel was JeWess, as is Bernhardt,
the great genius on the stage today
Here in Washington | have heard as
piring politicians, when beyond the
reach of the reporters pencil, sheer
at Jews, and yet it was a Jew that
made Englands Queen Empress of In
dia, and it was a Jew who was for
years the adroit and sagacious chair
man of the national committee of one
of our great political parties. The
most powerful intellect in the South
ern Confederacy was that of Judah p.
Benjamin, a Jew; and Chase, when
managing our national finances in
perilous time owed much of his sue
cess to the constant advice of New
York Jew"
A Jewish tramp or a Jewish drunk
ard is never seen-that is proyerbal.
You never see a Jewish beggar-that
is commonplace, The Jewish race
contributes fewer inmates of hospitals,
jails and warehouses; than any other
race, THE two greatest philanthropy
lists of modern times" were both Jews

APPOINTED CHIEF OF POLICE,

Max Goldberg, prominent Jew OF
San Francisco, has been appointed Pc.
lice Commissioner of that city Mayor
Mccarthy made the appointment
because he expects Mr.. Goldberg, who

Mr.. Vending goes on TO say

Mr.. Vending goes on to say:
There is no sweeter domestic life
on earth than is found in Jewish
homes. How rarely we hear in our
courts of a Jewish divorce case. In
reverence and honor for parents, in
self-sacriltcing love among the children
and in unity, peace, and concord, the
average Jewish family is simply ideal.
The beuaty and fidelity Of Jewish wo-
men command my homage, and among
wealthy and educated Jews the eX-
quisite refinement Of Jewesses, their
culture and high breeding blended with
sort of Oriental grace and dignity,
put them among the most charming
women in the world.
Convert the Jews? Yes, but mean
while let us convert many of our
church members to genuine Christian
ity. Suppress the Jews? A score of
Russian Cars cannot do it. Every
people in the Old World has tried it
and failed. They have outlived the
Tudors and the Plantagenets, the Ro-
manoffs, the tyranny of Spain, the dy-
nasties of France, Charlemagne, Con-
stantine, the Caesars, the Babylonian
kings and the Egyptian Pharaohs. 1t
was Gods own race for 1000 years,
and the awful persecution it has sur
yiyed for 1000 more stamps it as
race still bearing some mysterious re-
lation to the plans of the Eternal.
The belief that the Jew is more dis
honest than the Gentle is half non
sense, half falsehood and prejudice as
serts Mr., Vending The anti-Semite
movement in Europe is hideous and re-
pulsive, and all anti-Jewish feeling is
UNI Christian, un-American and unhu-
man No man can share it who be-
lieves in universal fatherhood of God
and the universal brotherhood of man.

mighty and it will preyail,-The He
brew Standard.
