THE JEW IS MODERN HISTORY."
BY BEN J. I. COHEN.
The following lecture -was delivered
before the Young Men's Hebrew Associ
ation at Portland, Or., November 14,
by Benj. I. Cohen: Spain, the Sunny
home of the olive and the vine, was the
chosen abode of Israel's wanderers, long
ere the gates of Centa opened to admit
the Moorish conquerors. And above all,
in Southern Spain had they become the
favorites of fortune, where being the
principal cultivators of the soil, they had
aroused the jealousy and excited the cu
pidity of the Goths, who attempted by a
series of barbarious decrees, to drive
them from the land which their industry
han made, to blossom as
the rose. The Jewish population
of Spain, of Arab descent,
trim ul in this dark hour.

and grave professors cast abroad the
dazzling light of secular science, min
gled with the lucent rays 01 Mwmmw
lore. An extensive and eniigncea com
merce SUPPOBTED THIS SPLENDOB,
While noble universities flourished for
the benefit of their favored youth. Long
after the fall ox the Moorish Kingdoms,
the Jews still flourished in Spain, until
the increasing strength of the Goths
brought with it increase of persecution.
Gradually the Jews were deprived of
their privileges, or forced to an
outward compliance with the Cath
olic faith under the title of
Auevos Christians. At length the rise
of Ferdinand and Isabella, and the intro
duction of the fatal Inquisition, sealed
their fate. This moral Upas tree first
unfolded its leaves at Seville, and three
of the fairest names in Spain, the Duke
of Medina Sidonia, the Marquess of Cadiz,
and the Count of Arcos, were its first
victims. The introduction of the
Inquisition into Aragon was resisted
with all the energy of despair; but
alas! evil triumphed over good and its
fell talons were again reddened with the
blood of the children of the Sun. Fer
dinand, in a spirit of madness, the evil
effects of which are felt in Spain to this
day, determined that its delicious air
should no longer be breathed by any who
did not profess Catholicism. Baptism
or exile were the alternatives. More
that 600,000 of the most industrious, the
most intelligent, and most enlightened of
Spanish subjects, clinging to
the faith am their fathers, re
signed the delighftul land where
in they had resided for centuries,
the beautiful cities they had raised, the
universities from which Christendom
drew for ages its most precious lore, the
tombs of their ancestors and the temples
where they had worshiped the God for
whom they made this sacrifice. They
had but four months to prepare for
eternal exile, after a residence of as many
centuries, during which brief period
forced sales and glutted markets vir
tually confiscated their property. It is a
calamity which the scattered people still
ranks with the desolation of Nebuchad
nezzar and of Titus. Who, after this,
should say that the Jews are by nature
A SORDID PEOPLE.
But the Spanish Goth, then so cruel and
so haughty, where is he? A despised
sumiliant to the verv race which he ban
ished for some miserable portion of that
treasure which their habits of industry
have again accumulated. Where is that
tribunal which summoned Medina
Sidonia and Cadiz to its dark inquisi
tion? Where is Spain? Its fall? Its
unparalleled and irremidiable fall is
mainly to be attributed to the expulsion
of that large portion of its subjects,
the most industrious and intelligent,
who traced their origin to the Mosaic
and Mohammedan Arabs." Many, if not
the greater portion of these hapless ex
iles, sought and found a safe asylum in
free Saxon England, where, as in all
other parts of Europe, their progress,
thoueh silent and slow, was onward ever
and upward. Leaping now the gulf of
time until we arrive at the early part of
the 19th century, we find their then con
dition thus portrayed in the glowing
Orientalism of Disraeli: "You never
observe a srreat intellectual movement in
Europe in which the Jews do not largely
participate. The first Jesuits were Jews;
that mysterious Russian diplomacy
which so alarms Western Europe is or
ganized and principally carried on by
Jews; that mighty revolution which is at
this moment preparing in tiermany, is
entirely developing under the auspices
of Jews, who almost monopolize tue pro
fessorial chairs of Germany. Neander
the
FOUNDER OF SPIBITTJAD CHRISTIANITY,
And who is Regius Professor of Divinity
in the University of Berlin, is a Jew.
Benary, equally famous in the same
University, is a Jew. Wehl the Arabic,
Professor of Hidelberg, is a Jew, the first
Arabic scholar of the day and author of
the life of Mahomet. A few years ago
we were applied to by Russia for a loan.
I resolved to go myself to St. Peters
burgh. I had an interview on my ar
rival with the Russian Minister of
Finance, Count Cancrin. I beheld the
son of a Lithuanian Jew. The loan was
connected with the affairs of Spain. I
repaired thither in the person of the
Spanish Minister, Senor Mendizabel; I
beheld one like myself, the son of a
Nuevo Chrisliano, a Jew of Arragon.
From Madrid I went to Paris to consult
the President of the French Council; I
beheld the son of a French Jew, a hero,
an Imperial Marshal, and very properly
so, for who should be military heroes, if
not those who worship the Lord of Hosts.
And is Sontt a Hebrew? Yes, and oth
ers of the French Marshals, and the most
famous; Massena for example; his real
name was Manasseh; but to my anecdote.
The consequence of our consultations
was, that some northern power should
be applied to in a friendly and mediative
capacity. We fixed on Prussia; and the
President of the Council made an appli
cation to the Prussian Minister, who at
tended a few days after onr conference.
Count Arnim
BNTEBED THE CABINET,
And I beheld a Prussian Jew. So you see
the world is governed by very different
personages from what is imagined by
t.imaA whn nrs not behind the scenes.
But the passionate and creative genius,
that is the nearest link to Divinity, and
which no human tyranny can destroy,
though it can divert it, has found a me
dium for its expression, to which yon
have been obliged to bow. Music; that
science of harmonious sound which the
ancients recognized as most divine, and
deified in the person of their most beau
tiful creation. Almost every great com
poser and skilled musician, almost every
voice that ravishes yougwith its trans
porting strains, springs from onr tribes.
The catalogue is too vast to enumerate;
too illustrious to dwell for a moment on
secondary names, however eminent.
Enough for us that the three great
creative minds, to whose exquisite
compositions all nations at this mo
ment yield Rossini, Meyerbeer and
Mendelssohn are of Hebrew race;
and little do your men of fashion,
your muscadins "of Paris, and your dan
dies of London, as they thrill into rap
tures at the notes of a Pasta or a Grisis;
little do they suspect that they are offer
ing their homage to the "sweet singers
of Israel P From the earliest times of
which American history takes cogniz
ance, the free exercise and enjoyment
of religious profession and worship have
been considered the absolute rights of
individuals, recognized by our constitu
tions and secured to them by law. It is
ordained by the constitution of the
-United States that Congress shall make
no law respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, and the same principle appears
in all of our State constitutions. But al
though the United States required no
RELIGIOUS TEST,
Eligibility to place and power in the vari
ous State governments was confined to
Trinitarian Christians. In the State of
Maryland the struggle to remove the po
litical disabilities of the Jews waxed
warm in IXVi-i- Tn Jannarv. 1824. Col.
Worthington delivered his famous speech
in the Maryland Legislature, in the
course of which he stated that he had
propounded certain inquires to Solomon
Etting, Esq., a leading Israelite of Balti
more, as follows: What offices have been
or are now held by Hebrews ? Solomon
Buth, Colonel in the American revolu
tion, a distinguished officer who died
after the revolution of the wounds re
ceived or their effects. Reuben Etting,
Marshal of Maryland, appointed by
President Jefferson. He was also Cap
tain of a volunteer corps, raised very
early in Baltimore, long under his com
mand, which became so numerous as to
require being divided into oompanies
and thrown into Fifth regiment Mary
land militia. Solomon Etting, Captain
Fifth regiment Maryland militia, ap
pointed by Governor Paca. Benj. I.
Cohen, Lieutenant in Columbian Volun
teers, attached to the Fifth regiment
Maryland militia. The-strongest case
applicable to the subject is one at pres
ent existing and may be thus related:
Early in the spring of 1823 a number of
spirited young men formed a
VOLUNTEER RIFLE COMPANY
Known as the "Marion Corps." With
out any previous knowledge on his part
of even the existence of this company,
they unanimously elected Benj. I. Cohen,
Esq., their Captain. A commission was
received from Governor Stevens, but not
qualified to, of course, in consequence of
the existence of the test law; the corps
were made acquainted with this faet, and
a resignation of the command on the part
of Capt. Cohen followed. At a meeting
of the corps, called for that purpose, it
was unanimously determined that no
Captain should be elected until the fate
of this bill to repeal the test law should
be decided, and the corps is at presen.
commanded by the First Lieutenantt
Another eminent Hebrew is Major Mor
decai M. Noah, Major in Pennsylvania,
Consul to Tunis for the American Gov
ernment, and on his return to this coun
try, appointed by the Legislature of New
York to the important station of Sheriff
of their metropolis. A. A. Massais,
Major in the U. S. Army during the late
war, and retained in the service at the re
duction of the army,
HE IS NOW PAYMASTER -
For the Southern department; W. P.
Levy, Lieutentant in U. S. Navy, last
Commander of schooner Kovenge, and
afterwards a Commodore. The Consti
tution of Maryland of 1851 provides
"that no other test or qualification ought
to be required on admission to any office
than such as may
be prescribed by this Constitution.
If the party shall
profess to be a Jew, the declaration shall
be of his belief in. a future state of re
wards and punishments." The Maryland
Constitution of 1867 provides "that no
religious test onght ever to be required
as a qualification for any office in this
State other
than a declaration of belief in the ex
istence of God." The Constitution of
Oregon declares that "No religious test
shall be required as a qualification for
any office of trust or pront. To-day we
find the chosen people occupying high
positions throughout the length of the
land and the breadth thereof. Josephs
of Louisiana is in the United States Sen
ate, while Einstein of New York is in the
House of Representatives. Some of the
brightest lights of the Bench and Bar of
the country are Hebrews. The army
and navy contain a fair proportion of
them, who, in times of trial, have proved
not unworthy of their positions. In
Europe their standing is, if possible,
even higher. Iu Germany Edward Tus
ker is the .
LEADER OF THE LIBERALS
In the Prussian Landtag and Solicitor
for the "Deutsche Baden Credit Jtsank.
or ''Credit Fonder." He has been a
member of the various parliamentary
bodies since 1865, and is far honester
than Disrseli, in that he has clung to his
orignal Hebrew faith in spite of all the
advantages that apostacy offered to an
ambitious man; and his political integrity
is beyond the reach of slander.
In 1868 an active and enterprising
young lawyer made his debut at the Pal
ace of Justice in Paris, first attracting
public attention by a remarkable defense
of several persons prosecuted for con
spiracy. In the following year he was
sent to the Corps Legislatif beam. Bell
ville and Marseilles, and' on September
4th, 1870, when the furious populace
invaded the Legislative chamber, Leon
Oambetta was proclaimed a prominent
member of the Government of National
Defense. Of his eloquence it has been
said : "There is a wild passion in the
man which is
ABSOLUTELY INDESCRIBABLE,
His character is like the ocean, gentle
and quiet in a calm ; but imposing and
awful in a storm . The orator is never
cold and stately, his hollow and resound
ing voice is like that of some furious
warning prophet of doom, and his fiery
sentences follow one another with such
rapidity that there is little chance for in
terruption. ' Another French leader,
Jules Simon, is both honest and great,
a fine orator, a shrewd and cautious poli
tician, a patriot of noblest type, a philos
opher of no mean order, and a careful
student of social science; he is one of the
foremost figures of his time. He strug
gled up from the ranks of the masses,
his origin was humble and his youth was
a perpetual battle for bread. Another
Frenchman of note, whose recent death
was mourned as a national calamity, was
Isaac Adolph Cremieux, Minister of Jus
tice in 1848, and a zealous defender and
champion of the rights of his oppressed
brethren. In 1840 he accompanied Sir
Moses Montefiore to the East for the pur
pose of taking active measures in behalf
of the persecuted Jews of Damascus.
The greatest equity lawyer of England,
who has filled -the exalted position of
MASTER OF THE BOLLS,
During the present generation, is Sir
George Jessels, a strict member of the
Jewish persuasion, who has been success
ively Senator of the University of Lon
don, Member of Parliament, Solicitor
General, and Master of the Rolls; while
the acknowledged leader of the English
bar is Judah P. Benjamin, a Jew born in
New Orleans, and who, while awaiting
his admission to the bar of England,
wrote and published the best book upon
the law of sales, in existence. But in
England Disraeli stands pre-eminent in
the 15th century; his ancestors bearing a
different name, were driven from Spain,
and took refuge in the Benetian Repub
lic, where, grateful to the God of Jacob
who had sustained them through unpre
cedented trials, and guarded them
through unheard of perils, they assumed
the name of Disraeli, a name never
born before or since by any other family
in order that their race might be forever
recognized. From this stock sprang the
frreat Premier, whose own life is a more
stand indebted to them, charity and
beneficence have spread wherever they
have found a home, and to-day we feel
that they have oondnoed to the prosper
ity of the Republic, and may be looked
upon as a faotor that will help to bring
about the era for which we all so earnest
ly long that of universal peace and
God-like liberty. To-day the world
contains about 5,500,000 Hebrews.
Through the blessing of God, their long
night of sorrow seems to have drawn to
a close, and the glorious spirit of the
nineteenth century, addressing them in
cheering accents, exclaims, "Veritas, vos
liberabit!" the truth shall make" you
free.
TH GREAT FAIR.
The Portland Evening Telegram in its well
written notices of the Mechanic's Fair lately
closed at that pla:e, has this to say of the well
known house of
NKWBUBV, HAWTHORNE & Co.
In the extreme west end of machinery hall is
the exhibit made by the well known house ot
Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. One of the most
lmportantparts of their exhibit to farmers is the
world renowned Morrison Bros, plows, with both
wood and steel beams, riding or walking plowsi
The wood beams all have double iron standards,
bracing well from both bottom and top, in oppo
site directions. They are securely bolted to the
beam, which has double the usual wrought iron
wondrous tale than that of Alroy, a more ( JT rTndT"her
noint and higher shin than any plow in the
Hnlendid romance than Tancred or Bene
tia. The philantropist, Sir Moses Mon
tefiore, was Sheriff of London, was
knighted by the Queen upon the occasion
of her visit to the city in 1846, and was
shortly afterwards made a baronet. In
1840, with Cremieux, and on several
other occasions, he visited the East in
behalf of the Damascan Hebrews. In 1846,
he persuaded the Emperor Nicholas to
suspend the execution of an
EDICT AGAINST THE JEWS,
And was invited to visit Poland to con
cert measures of relief for his suffering
brethren in that unhappy country. In
1854, he collected funds for the famine
stricken inhabitants of the East, and se
cured from the Sultan the privilege of
holding real estate in Jerusalem,.where
he built poor houses and encouraged in
dustry and agriculture. In 1863, with
the help of Queen Elizabeth at Madrid,
he procured a firman from the Sultan of
Morocco putting his Jewish subjects upon
an equal footing with his Christian ones.
In his 82d year, he made his last visit to
Palestine, to assist those who had suf
fered with the cholera, and whose crops
had been destroyed by locusts. The
next year he went to Bucharest, to
use his in 11 yen co against the ill
treatment of the Jews of Roumania.
In 1867 he endowed the Jewish College
at Ramsgate in honor of his deceased
wife. On September 24th, 1862, he was
presented with the freedom of theoity
of London and a valuable present in to
ken of his benevolence. In Spain Emilo
Castelar ranks with the foremost men of
the age, as an eminent orator and un
compromising Republican. In 1864 he
founded a journal called "La Detnocra
cia," in which he developed his social
and political principles. He was
CONDEMNED TO DEATH
In 1866, but escaped into France. In
1868 he returned to Spain, became a
member of the Cortez and a leader of the
Republican party. He is considered the
ablest political orator in Spain, became
Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1873, and
was President of the Spanish Republic
from September 1873, to January 1874.
Once on a time, as the fairy tales recite,
William IX, Langrave of Hesse was ab
sorbed in a game of chess, behind,, his
chair, silent and attentive to every move,
stood an unobtrusive Hebrew,
awaiting an audience with the
Prince. The game was going
against Wm., who turning, sud
denly asked, "Do you understand
chess ?" "Sufficiently well, your serene
Highness, to induce me, were the game
mine, to castle on the King's side." That
was a master stroke, turning defeat into
victory, and bo delighting -the King that
he said, "You are a wise man; he who
can extricate a chess-player from such a
difficulty as I was in, must have a very
clear head for business." That wary
counsellor was Mayer Anselm Roths
child, the first great Knight of the Red
Shield; that lucky hint secured to the
banker the use of $40,000,000 and gen
erations of financial glory. The success
ot the Rothschilds is too well known to
need repetition here; one of that family,
however, was (in 1858) the first Hebrew
to enter the British Parliament, from
which his race had been before exclud
ed. In that year a statute was passed,
allowing either house to dispense with
the clause in the oath requiring the mem
ber to swear "upon the true faith of a
Christian," whenever in its opinion the
public interest required it. Proclaimed
in the United States and France, the
rights of the Jews were recognized in
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, parts of
Germany, Canada and Jamaica, and in
1848-9, throughout Germany, Italy,
Hungary, and finally in Norway and
England. Among their
MOST ZEALOUS DEFENDERS
Were the Frenchman Gregoire, the Pole
Czacki, the German Welcker, the Irish
roan O'Connell, the Englishman Lord
John Russell, the Italian D'Azeglio, and
the Hungarian Eotvos, all Christians;
the Jews by descent Borne and Disraeli,
and the professing Jews Jaoobssohn.
Tugenhold, Riesser, Philipssohn, Mon
tefiore and Cremieux. The revolutionary
movement of 1848-9 proved the immense
progress of the Jews as well as public
opinion since the days of Mendelssohn
and Leasing. The Jews Cremieux, Good
chaux and Fould (Minister of State)
were among the ministers of the French
republic. Pincherle was a member of
the Provisional Government of Venice.
Jacobi, of Honigsberg, was leader of the
opposition in the Berlin Parliament.
Reisser was Vice President of that of
Frankfort. Dr. Fischhof stood at the
head of affairs in Vienna after the flight
of the Court. Meisels, the Rabbi of
Cracow, was elected to the Austrian Diet
by the Polish patriots. Jews were offi
cers of high rank in the Hungarian
army, chief of whom was the Adjutant
Freund, afterwards Mahinond Pasha
during the war in Turkey. And here let
me quote the words of an eloquent East
ern journalist, spoken at the fair given
in aid of the
BALTIMORE HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM:
History records no such wonderful ex
ample as that of the proscribed Hebrew
race, though weary centuries of exile and
persecution, clinging to the faith of their
fathers, and keeping unsullied the mem
ory of their former greatness. They have
kept alive the sweet influences of home;
the altar fires of love and affection have
blazed brightly on tbeir family hearths;
virtue and charity have been their watch
words, and in their obedience to moral
and physical laws they have taught a les
son to more pretentious people, who,
while claiming a greater degree of
Erogress and intelligence, have
ad their social systems stain
ed with dark blots of evil.
Literature, science, art and, politics
American market. The mould-boards are Bet
well forward and extra hardened. Newbury,
Hawthorne & Co. are the only firm in Oregon
which carry the Bessemer steel beam plow, made
by Morrison Brothers, it is twelve pounds
lighter than the iron beam and cannot be bent.
In a trial of plows lately made by the Linn
county council of the PatronB of Husbandry, the
Morrison Brothers' plows made the highest num
ber of points and was adopted by the Grange and
and recommended by them to the Patrons of
Linn county. The plows are certainly well con
structed and must be durable, light draft and do
good work, as all concede who know them, and
we see no good reason why farmers should use a
chilled plow when they can have a "Morrison,"
which is stronger and more durable, lighter to
handle, lOOpounds lighter draft and does equally
good work in any soil. Farmers should see the
"Morrison" before purchasing any other. One
of the most important things they show is the
FARMER'S FRIEND DRILL,
A piece of farm machinery which they have sold
for tiro years in Oregon, and which has given
complete satisfaction. One of the great features
of the drill is the cone gear for regulating the
seeding. With all other drills thus far manufac
tured, in order to change the amount of seed
sown per acre, the machine must be stopped, and
the drive wheel and several cog wheels, re
moved at the cost of considerable timo, while
with the Farmer's Friend Drill it is instantly
changed by a lever, and even without stopping
the team if a change is desired during the opera
tion of the drill. 1 he quantity thus regulated
is beyond the possibility of a mistake It has a
double force feed, and has been tested in Europe
and America, and pronounced the best drill on
earth, receiving the gold medal both in Paris and
Philadelphia. Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. have
induced the manufacturers to make many impor
tant improvements in the drill, among, which is
the increase in size from twelve to twenty hoes,
and the making of both the large wheels do the
duty of drive wheels, being double-geared, and
driving from both ends. Tbey have also added
a feed cone ot each end, bo as to regulate the
seeding from each end. Heavy truss braces
with bridgetree have also been added at this
firm's suggestion. Notably in the exhibit made
by this firm is the
EST E SLY SEEDEIi AND CULTIVATOR,
The king of all seeders in America. It is said
to be the most perfect and durable machine in
the market, it requires no change of cog-wheels,
has an agitator and improved metal drag, bar
fastenings; also oil tempered teeth. A leculiar
and valuable feature of the machine is that it has
more scatterers and cylinders than any other, as
it has five sets, while other machines use but
three or four, and in the large machines the
number is increased proportiona ely, which gives
the most even and erfect distributions of the
seed. It is the only seeder provided with an
India rubber cut-off, which effectually prevents
the cracking of grain. At every Fair where the
Estorly seeder has been on exhibition it has ob
tained the highest premium over all others. As
with the Farmer's Friend drill the house in
Portland had to increase the Esterly to twenty
hoes, and added like improvements with the ex
ception of the cones. Both these machines are
rigged for two, three or four horses abreast, accord
ing to the size of the machines These improve
ments have been made necessary in order to meet
the demands of the large farmers of Eastern Ore
gon and Washington, and at their branch house
in Walla Walla the firm have had large sales of
the machines. Teamsters are much delighted
with the imbroved
WHITEWATER WAGON,
Government standard, which' is shown at the
pavilion by the above firm. It is a fact that it is
pronounced by all the best ironed wagon in the
market. These wagons have, for a number of
years, been used in the service of the United
Stales Government and have, without failure,
stood the climatic tests of every section of this
country. They are also used by the British Gov
ernment iu their operations in the northern part
of this continent. They have recently been im
proved especially for this trade, have many im
provements never before seen on any wagon, and
are the best in the market on the Pacific coast, of
which an examination will convince the most
skeptical: This firm also carry the renowned
Torsion bolster, seat and pole springs. The bol
ster springs will carry from a half to five tons,
and will outlast three new wagons. The seat
springs are the best in the world, being so flex
ible that they cannot be put on a cramp or
broken, and are adjustable to either wide or nar
row track wagons. The pole springs are light,
simple, effective and durable They take the
weight from the neck cf the team and are
adapted to all wagons with drop down poles.
THE WHIPPLE GUIDE.
The farmer's friend and friend of his horses.
The great equalizer of the age. Universally
sought after where known. Believes the team
from all the jerking and shaking caused by- rough
roads and uuevenness of the ground. Saves the
team, saves the harness and makes the control of
a wagon, drill or threshing machine so easy that
a boy can take the place ot a man, in driving
either. The only place on the Pacific Coast
where the Whitewater wagons and the above
improvements can be had is at Newbury, Haw
thorne & Co., who carry a full stockof then. The
KEY CITY EXTENSION TOPS
For carriages, buggies and light wagons, are
shown by the firm. The top is adapted to all
uses, and suited to all weather. These tops may
be used on a single or double-seated vehicles, and
their three or four bowed jointed top may be used
either on carriages or farm wagons, and can be
changed from one to the other in five minutes.
These tops range in prices from $15 to $60, being
less than one-half the cost of any other tops.
The attention of farmers, carriage makers and
dealers generally are invited to these desirable
articles.
THE CENTENNIAL FANNING MILL,
Both for farm and warehouse, are also exhibited.
They are especially adapted to cleaning wheat,
oata and barley, clover and timothy, flax, beans
and corn meal. The Centennial Fanning Mill is
the best constructed, duarble and most eomplete
in the world.
HISCKLLANEODS ARTICLES.

A Reliable Commission le chaol
The Portland Telegram, has this to say
of Mr. Blumenthal whose advertisement
appears elsewhere; Mr. Blumenthal lllf
Front street has made the most rapid ad
vancement of any young merchant that
