,j - V - THE NEW NORTHWEST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1881. THE, JEWS IN QEIlM ANY. In France the Jews have not only been admit led to equal citizen rights, but they have enjoyed idabsofute social equality ; and the reason of tula T. iwn found In the fact that In proportion as a -country has fallen away from Its former faith, so all foreign element into Its own social system, it,., if ever a country were free of reliirlous prelu- Hires, had stripped off all lingering remnants of her ancleni latin, nau prociauueu irztu&.y p pun aaaiiIiIc inuinerence iu, miu nitpmiauun ui, an ireed alike, that country Is emphatically (ier mnv. Of Protestantism it is vain to talk. IVri- xles and Alclbiades were not more completely and frankly pagan and less trammeled by prejudice than the Prussian statesman and warrior of to-duy. There are believing Christians in Germany, but -whnJmld them to be of anv account ? The I'roU tirnt "church" Js a dismal spectacle of'dwindliirg Indinvrentism ; me uainoiic cnurcn nan raiien a prey to the Protestant Inquisition of Falk re , now ii, and religionist of all'denomination are 'treated bjr"the generalelther as hypocrites' and time-servers or as Illiterate Imbeciles whose 4vain babblings" are of no account. It Is not the relhrion of the Jews that "stinks" In (Jerman "nontril.!' No "cultured" German cares what the narttoular "doxy" of - his neighbor is. I lis --fear and -hatred of - the Jew grow out of material f:rounos, and is a life question, or tar more vital mportaivce to him tlian the relative value of the Testament or the Talmud. To an-KngliHhman, German Liberalism is a hybrid creature, lame of three legs and blind or one eye, and thus it Is nec essary to explain if, indeed, explanation In Its ' rational sense be possible the position of the Ger man Liberals in hls matter of -phihvSemitism. The Jew, having equal burgher rights, with his Teutonic brother, no prejudice of faith or race should barhis path. Berlin has fewer Christian .churches than any city of like size, in Christen- dom. Yet one of these churches was lately given to the Jewish community for. a synagogue. The Mayor of Berlin Is a Jew." The late President of the German Parliament. Simpson, was a Jew. Two-thirds of the lawyers of higher or lower status In Berlin are Jews. Lasker. as is well known. Is a Jew. The whole of the so-called "Liberal" press is In the hands of the Jews. -Naturally the bankers, financiers, and leading shop-keepers of the capital -are Jew's. The country which lias Just erected a statute to Hplqoza, which -was the birthplace of the Mendelsohns (Moses Mendelssohn, the philosopher, and Felix, the com- er), of ' Heine and Borne, of Myerbeer and (fenbach and Auerbach. of the gifted Rachel von Knse, Prof. Ewald, and a score of other illustrious Hebrews, could not anord to treat itsadonted cliil- . lren on other than the broadest principles of lib erty, equality and fraternity. Jast among the European nations to grant equal rights to the Hebrew raee Germany -the country ef euftorer h home of nhilosoDhv. the fosterer of rational Ideas, the furtnerer of enlightenment, the pioneer .of education, must leave all petty prejudice in the background, and hold the even-handed scales of Justice between the children, bone of her bone and flesh of her flesh, and those step-children of alien race who claim an eqaal right to her maternal -care. The Conlemjtorary Review. r . . ' . A ROMANCE OF BRITISH HIGH LIFE. Many years ago a young mall made his appear ance in Htratford, and passed a few weeks at the tavern which then existed to afford, shelter to stsge-coach travelers. Whence he came,, and what was his business, none could guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood the small cottage and forge of a blacksmith named . Folsom. He had a daughter who was the beauty of the village, arid ft was her fortune to captivate the -heart of the young stranger. He told his love, said he was traveling fnooflr., but, In: confidence, gave her his real name, saying that he was heir to a large, for MnneFhe returned his love, and thev were mar ried in a few weeks after. The stranger told his wife that he must v,lslt New OrIeans,He did so, aml-ili goMi f the town mado ihe-young wife unnnppy by disagreeable hints and Jeers, in a -few JMuttths the-husband -returned - lut-before--a week had elapsed he received a large budget of letters, and told his wife that he must at once re turn to England, and must go alone. - He took his depuTture, and the gossips had another glorious opportunity to make a confiding woman wretched. To all but herself It was a clear case of desertion;' 'The wife became a mother, and for two years lived on In silence and hope.. By the end of that time a latter was received by the Stratford beauty from .her husband, directing her to go at once to New .York with her child, taking nothing with her but the, clothes she wore, and. embark In a ship for home in England.- On her arrival In New York. stic found a splendidly furnish1 every convenience and luxury for her comfort, and two servants ready to obey every wish that she might express. Theshlp duly arrived In England, and the Stratford girl became the mis tress of a.mansion, and, as the wife of a baronet.' was saluted by the aristocracy as Tady Samuel Sterling. On the death of her husband, many years ago, the Stratford boy succeeded to the title and wealth of his father; and In the last edition of "Peerage aad Baronetage" he Is spoken of as the Issue of "Miss Folsom, of Stratford, North lAmerlca.1 Toronto (Onf.J Globe. A French chemist asserts that he has concocted .A substance by means of which tenants in Ireland, . . i a at - -. m or elsewhere, who win not pay meir rents, may be evicted without difficulty, and without the ex penses attendant on legal proceedings. The mix ture is In the form of a powder ; a small quantity of It, sprinkled before sanrise on parts of the land adjacent to, the tenant's dwelling, renders it Im possible for any human being to remain within naif a mile of the spot where the sprinkling has taken place for at least seven days, when the pro cess should, if necessary, be repeated. The effect of the powder Is to produce violent nausea and other feelings of so 'uncomfortable a kind as to be quite unbearable. It Is. however, not dangerous ' to life j and produces ao Injurious effects on cattle. Rhode Island youths were very closely confined In the old time.
