mocracy as the principle of a common-

ruling class, and a working-ruled class. But
now that slavery is abolished, natural laws
operate and teach another lesson. The State
which is not well governed, which does not
recognize and protect the rights of its citi—
zens, will lauguish and grow poor, while
well-governed States flourish and grow rich.

Is there a Bargain Between Gen.
Ewing and Tllden ? ‘
Gen. Ewing, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, has been spending a few
days of the past week in this city. Gen.
Foster, the Republican candidate, has also
been spending a good deal of his time East.
The importance to both parties of the cam-
paign in Ohio this year has given rise to
various rumors respecting the absence frOm
the field of operations of the two candidates
for Governor. It is impossible, under the
practice of modern as well as ancient politi-
cians, to prosecute a political campaign with
energy or hope of success without money to
meet expenses. The-necessity of providing
'for these nts is supposed to explain the
presence 1 this city at this time of Gen.
Ewing and Gen. Faster. The latter has the
National Administration at his back, which,
pecuniarily,givcs him a great advantage over
his opponent. John Sherman has provided
him with large sums collected-from the em—
ployees of the Treasury Department, and his
personal interest in the success of Gen.- Fos—
ter will doubtless lead to a liberal supply of
money from his own abundant means, saved
while serving his country, as supposed, on a
moderate stipend. Gen. ‘Ewing, on the con-
trary,has not access to the National Treasury.
'He has not heretofore had any 'rich Presiden-
tial candidate at his back. He defeated
the Thurman interest [in securing his' own
nomination for the Governorship, and there-
fore his base of supplies was partly cut off.
Seeing the great disadvantage he would labor
under, he came to,New York to see if he
could not interest some of the wealthy demo-
crats in this city in subscribing to his cam-
paign fund. This purpose, ,then,brought the
two candidates to this city. Gen. Foster
met with such success here and in Washington
that he hastened back to Ohio boasting of his
prospects. Gen. Ewing did not meet at first
with much encouragement. Representing
the Greenback element of the party, the rich
bondholders held aloof from him for a time.
But it is now reported that through the
agency of err-Senator Barnum of Connecti—
cut, Tilden's warm friend, an arrangement
has been made whereby Mr. Ewing agreed
to aid_ Mr. Tilden’s Presidential prospects in
Ohio in return for aid to be given Mr. Ewino
in his canvass for the Governorship. BuI
how many “barrels” are to be broken open
and the contents dumped in' Ohio to aid Mr.
Ewing is not stated. There can be no harm
in Mr. Ewing accepting needed and necessary
pecuniary aid for his campaign, but the pro-
gramme in this case, if carried out, may
prove ‘to be far—reaching in its effects. If
the success of Ewing means the defeat of
Thurman for the Presidency, it will at least
induce the many friends of the latter to give
a less earnest support in the present canvass
than would otherwise be given. If Tildeu's
barrels are to be used to secure him the sup-
port of any State delegation it will be disas—
trous to the party in that State. How‘ the
pronounced and widely different views on
the money question of Gen. Ewing and Mr.
Tildenye to be reconciled will be hard to

The recent insults given to a race of people
for perhaps some distasteful action from a
few, is an unehristian and uncharitable way
of reproving the perpetrators. But who was
the insult given by? Report says that Mr.
Austin Corbin who was refused in “marriage
by a pretty Jewess, and while drunk with
the success of his R.R. monopoly, allowed
his passions to abuse it people which the
American nation has shown itself to be proud
of; but this illiterate man, like Judge Hil-
ton has shown a prejudice which seems
prevalent in the minds of many other native-
born citizens. '
These insults are leveled against foreigners
generally, more than against the Jews as a
nation, and this proscription ought and will
be resented by every high-minded man in the
land. Are we to submit to such hatred in a
land of equal rights? Does it not plainly
show that aristocracy and prejudice are at
the bottom of it? While minor considera—
tions are used asa pretext.
Mr. Corbin‘s objections are raised, because
the Jews expect too much for their money;
he and MeSSrs. Hilton & 00. had better traf-
fie in these parts and see how much other
people expect for their money, from
merchants and-hotel keepers,they would real.
ize .that as much littleness exists in other
nationalities. But how different the spirit,
when I remember the remarks made
bya good deacon, “ Why should we not
honor the chosen people of God when
one-half of the world believes in a Jew and
the other half in a Jewess.” Historically
this is true. The Christian people as com-
inandcd, continue to spend much energy and
Roman Catholics, while at heart a hatred
exists against them by many who contribute
for the promotion of Christianity. How
inonsisteut thus to deceive themselves as
well as those whose confidence they are try-
ing to gain. Is it not a fact that you find
in every community certain men and women
who show their illiterate tastes and malice
instead of setting an example worthy of the
name of Christians and refrain from such by-
pocrisy as seen in Mr. Corbin, for that will
never accomplishthe couversson of theworld.
Why not take every man for what he now is in
chararacter and not what he was, whether he
be Jew or Gentile, bond or free; and if per-
chance we find any in distress,hclp them ; if
nasty, as Corbin quotes, ,Why not let them
wash at Manhattan Beach, as was the leper
asked to wash in Jordan. If degrad-
ed, why not lift them to a higher stand-
ard of manhood. If distasteful and uncul-
tured show them by your example and re-
finement what they can be. But let us com-
pare the many crimes and vices that exist
at Manhattan Beach as well as through—
out our land. - Look into the prisons,
almshouses and jails, and how many Jews
can you find among the many of other classes
of religion! Show me I1 Hebrew who is
habitually dissipated or filthy and I will show
you hundreds of other denominations for
every one of them. Show us a more
peaceable, industrious, law-abidihg people,
who resent living on the hard earnings of
their parents and friends, or submit to be
town paupersl Yea, I am fully satis—
fied, when carefully perusing past histo-
ry and revelations, that it will take more
than one Corbin to retard the progress of
Judaism. You may as well try to stem the
rising tide of Norwalk harbor as to stop the
progress, energy and stability of the Jewish
nation; Yes, “it is hard to kick against the
pricks." For King Pharaoh of Egypt found
it so; Haman realized it when persecuting
the Jews; Mr. Hilton Stuart against Selig-
man corroborates the same, and now Mr.
Abraham Cohn, alias Ausii Corbin, will
ere long realize his mistake and repent of the
' gross insult given to the cliosenvpeople of
God, for he will have to bear the retribution
of Jehovah before he will be allowed to meet
that one "white Jew” in heaven. .
I protest against all unfairness and insults
given to any class or people in these enlight-
ened times, and shall endeavor to speak for
learn that no creed nor nation will prosper ’
unless its principles are based on the broad—
est platform of equal rights and charity.
Until that predominates, ‘contentions will
arise. Let the despised Nazariues of the day
remember,” the goldmust go through, the
fire to be refined and purified,sowith you; but
continue to push on in all good and charit—
able works, no matter what you are thought
of by the bigotry of man, for‘the time is
surely coming when the problems of science
and the prophecies of the Bible will be more
fully understood and shall be gloriously ful-
filled. Stand firm, though your record as a
people of old was at times wicked, it is
well known that the heathen and gentiles
living at the same time were too vile and in
every way unworthy for the historian to
mention, as a type and example for posterity.
In fine let me say, is the foreign element
of this country to tolerate persecution and in-
sult from the American aristocracy and no-
bility P Are we to submit to unequal rights
when the constitution under which weabidc
guarantees it to all men alike ? No, we have
seen how the common people of California
learned _to' destroy prerogatives, and have
enacted such laws as will respect the rich
and the poor alikelas well as capitalists and
laborers, and if needs be, we, too, may be
forced to do likewise, fdr means .cau be
adopted citizens their duties under approved
laws, for people and nations can prosper only
by justice, otherwise it will come to naught.

Encouraging. '
Many a life has been lost because the left
hand was neglected. The large majority of
men do not use a tithe of the power they
possess. Their talents are mostly in a nap-
kin. Ouc of the wealthiest men in Wall
street to-day broke down in business a good
many years ago. He went into an office
where he was acquainted and said to the
members of the firm that he had no bread
for his family. “I‘m ready to go messages
tor you, or perform any other service.” He
hung up his coat there,aud commenced work
around lowest rung of the ladder. Prev-
iously that man's cheque was accepted any7
where in the street. You may be sure such
a man gradually mounted up, Over in Bos-
ton a like minded man fell out. He was
without bread, and soon would be without
shoes, unless he wakened up and stirred his
energies. He was a bookkeeper, and at one
time earned a handsome salary. What did
he do? This he did: He took a cotton hook
and went down to the wharf to unload cote
ton at so much an hour. Behold another
man with grit. The owners of the cotton
and the ship eyed this hero. Soon the de-
lcrce went forth. Come up higher. He re-
sumed the quill 'and laid aside the cotton-
hook. Diseouragement never weakened the'
Boston boy. Whiuers, were hanging their
lips and chicken hearts, who cure their
troubles with the bottle or the pisml, are
pitiful creatures, who should never have
been born. Let Sherideu be mentioned as
astimulant. He is one among many’who
knew how to turn disasters into victories.
For centuries to come his splendid achieve—
ments in the Shenandoah valley will be read
and imitated in other walks of life by youths
who have enthusiasm, pluck and religion.
Brother, see the silver lining in the cloud;
take courage, and excavate and use your
hidden resources.
No matterhow badand destructive a boy
may be, he never becomes so degraded or
loses his self-respect sufficieutl to throw mud
on a circus poster.——0'hz‘cago nbune.
