poleon became the dictator of

the clamor of the accusers and
detractors of the Jews without
giving the ews an opportunity
to show the baselessness of the
charges brought against them.
And so he convoked the assem-
bly, of the Jewish Notables, sub
mitted his questions, received
their satisfactory answers, and
then convened the Sanhedrin to
officially confirm the same. In
this signal manner was eWry's
position for the first time author
itatively made known to the

That Napoleon was moved to
this step by his love for the spec
tacular as we'll as by his sense
of justice, and perhaps by selfish
political reasons, too, may be
quite true. Yet the service he
thus rendered the cause of Jew
ish emancipation cannot be over
estimated. Napoleon deserves

LITTLE SAMMY.

Why use that unpronounce-
able Polish. name in connection
with little Sammy, the chess
wizard? Has not the poor
youngster suffered enough at the
hands of his step-fatherland, as
have all his Jewish kin? Poor
little Sammy has probably seen
some pogroms, or heard the har-
rowing tales of them; has prob
ably seen the beard of some old
Jew plucked by rufians, another
Jew thrown out of the windows
of fast moving train. Why, in
addition, make him suffer from
such name? Is it to make the
world mistake him for a Pole?
We wonder how little Sammy
feels about this honor of being
so identified? We wonder if he
realizes how thoroughly Jewish
his whole being is-the oldish-
wise expression of his childish
face, the effect of ages of Israels
suffering; tn e over-developed
brain of his, the result of CEN
turtles of Talmud's study and
deep thinking. Yes, little Sam
my is so thoroughly Jewish, that
to call him a Pole, as the daily
press constantly refers to him, is
an injustice to us Jews whose
flesh and blood he is and an
injustice to the Poles, that
proud Slavic race who naturally
hate Jews because they are such
an inferior race, so unlike the
superior Poles.
And so, little Sammy, chess
wizard, be welcome in Our midst,
but drop that other impossible
name of yours.

DISARMAMENT.

The real patriots, the true
lovers of their country and their
nation cannot but join in mighty
chorus in the appeal that is now
made by the womanhood OF
America that this nation come as
speedily as possible to an agree
ment with the other world pow
ers to disarm, and henceforth to
devote themselves entirely to the
industries and arts of peace in
stead of wasting their strength
on training and preparation for
the devi1ish art of war. The last
war has left the civilized world
tottering on the brink of total
destruction. Another war which
will necessarily be more terrible
and destructive than the last,
and the plunge into barbarism,
the annihilation of the material
and moral gains of centuries,
will be complete.
It is an established fact that
the huge ornaments of the great
powers, their training and prep
aration for war, being the express
sion of, and. the stimulus for,
their imperialistic rivalries, are a
mighty incentive to war. Dis
armament will compel the ma
tons to come to a peaceful and
harmonious understanding; will
disarm their mutual suspicious,
distrusts, and fears, and will
make for International co-opera-
ton for the good Of the entire
world. Let us alISjoin in the
plea of Americas motherhood
for the disarmament Of the ma
tiOns.

people be placed in any other

they can spend their remaining

been condemned long ago. Yet
what can we do with it's present
inmates? Shall we turn them
out in the streets?
Let us, then, put our shoulders
to the wheel and raise the neces-
sary funds for the completion OF
the new building. Joseph Schan-
field is in charge of this drive.
That in itself is guaranty that it
will be successful, that it must

self-supporting, or very nearly
so. Let no one, therefore, worry

become an additional burden up

THE RIOTS IN PALESTINE.

lHE XIII y LIN FAAE<O LINZ.
The recent riots, or pogroms,
as some would have it, in .Jaffa,
Palestine, will not and should
not discourage the Zionists, any
more than the attacks of the In
dams discouraged the settlement
of this continent by the white
race. On the contrary, it should
and will stimulate the Zionists
to greater effort in promoting
immigration and in preparing
the country for the reception OF
the newcomers. The larger the
number of sturdy Jewish pio-
neers, the less likelihood of at
tacks from the wild Arab hordes;
for even Arabs are solicitous
about the safety of their own
skins.
The riot may be considered a
blessing in disguise. Sorry as we
are for the loss of the Jewish
community in dead and wound
ed, we yet feel that the sacrifice
will have it's compensation. The
English government will hence
forth use all the greater force to
subdue and hold in leash all the
troublesome elements, Arab as
we'll as Jewish, and will exercise
all the greater vigilance in keep
ing Jewish troublemakers and
Christian provocateurs out alto
gether. We suspect that back Of
the present hostility and agita-
ton of the Arabs are some
Christian mischiefmakers, prob
ably imported for that purpose.
AS is we'll known, there are
Christian elements to whom the
realization of the Zionist hope,
the re-establishment of Jewish
nation upon it's own soil, would
be great disappointment as far
as their religious prejudices are
concerned. The fact that Chris
tians and Moslems in Palestine,
formerly mortal enemies, are
now making common cause
against the Jews, clearly shows
what the real source of the trou-
bic is. Surely, England is wise
enough to understand it, and we
look to the frmer hand of Eng
land, and the more developed
strength of Palestine Jewry to
put quietus on native turbu-
1ence.

A PLAINTIVE CALL.

The Editor and Publisher
prints the surprising news that
the circulation of the Christian
Science Monitor dropped in
year from 1897 to 27,268, or
from 12O,729 to 1898 in two
years. Possibly the illiberal at
titude it has recently assumed
may account for this, at least IN
part.
If the Christian Science Monl-
tor had not recently appointed
a Meshumod as its editor per-
haps we would not have had to
listen to this plaintive statement
from it's lips.-Jewish Tribune.
