The subjoined article," written by George R. Wendling for the New York Herald at its request, and published over liis signature in its issue of January 31st, 1892, attracted wide attention. "There is nut a drop of Jewish blood in my veins. I am not con nected with the Jews by marriage or any near or distant kinsman. I owe no Jew a dollar and no Jew owes me. Among all my personal or intimate friends I can not name one single Jew. I speak from the vantage ground of absolute inde pendence. 'Do you want an aristocracy of blood and birth? The Jews are the purest blooded people and have the best established descent in the world. Not Mirabeau in the French convention nor Patrick Henry in the House of Burgesses, nor "Sam" Adams in the old Colonial days ever said a more thrilling thing than Disraeli said in the English Commons in reply to the charge that he was a Jew: Yes, I am a Jew! And when the ancestors of the ris;ht honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown land, mint were priests in the temple.1 - talent? The great church historiaD, Neandor, was a Jew; Napoleon's marshals, Soult and Massena, were Jews; the brilliant and cynical Hoin9 was a Jew, and but the world's roll of greit soldiers, au thors, musicians, painters, peels, philosophers 8nd financiers, con tain more Hebrew names than I can recite ia many hous. "Are you looking for an urisn tncracy of weallb? The combined ! financial power of Jews in Europe can prevent the floating of almost any national loan which may be put upon the markers of the world! "It is a spurious, fal?e Chris tianity that hates the Jews. The mystery of the incarnation found expression in the flesh and blood of a Jew. We get our Ten Com mandmentsthe very foundation of our civilization through the Jew. We sing Jewish psalms, are uplifted by the passion and poetry of Jewish prophets, and rtly on Jewish biographies for the only history we have of Christ. Wo get our Pauline theory from a Jew, and we catch our earliest glimpses of the next world through the sublime apocalyptic vision of a Jew. Then, forsooth, we Chris tians turn about and sneer at Jews. "I have conversed with teach ers of philosophy who spoke slightingly of the Jews, and yet were teaching with enthusiasm ideas which they had absorbed from Maimonides and Spinoza, the two greatest philosophers, omitting Kant, since Plato's day both of them Jews. I have heard musicians denounce Jews and then spend days and nights tryiDg to interpret the beauties of Rossini, Meyerbeer and Mendelssohn all Jews. I talked the other day with a 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 the ' remaining part of her life if she could only reach the heights which the great queen of tragedy, Ra- chel, trod with such majesty and power and Rachel was a Jewess. Here in Washington 1 have heard aspiring politicians when beyond the reach of the reporter's penci1, sneer at Jews, and yet it was a Jew that made England's Queen Empress of India, and it was a Jew who for years was the adroit and sagacious chairman of tbe na- tional committee of one of our great political parties. The brain iest man in the Southern Confed eracy was Judah P. Benjamir, a Jew; and Chase when managing our national Snances in a peri lous time, owed much of his suc cess to the constant advice of a New York Jew. That you never see a Jew tramp or a Jew drunk ard is a proverb; that you never see a Jew beggar is common place; that it is a statistical fact that there are relatively fewer inmates of our hospitals, jails and workhouses furnished by the Jews than any other race contri butes. "Convert the Jews! Yes, but meanwhile let us convert many of our church members to gen uine Christianity. Suppress the Jews! A score of Russian Czars connot do it. Every people on earth has tried it and failed. Thev have outlived the Plan- tagenets, tne dynasties of Prance, Charlemagne, Constantino, the Cjo?ars. the"&Sy7miTintir!'si and the Egypt'an Pnaro,hs. It was God's own race for 4 000 years, and the awful persecution it has survived for 2,000 years more stamps it as a race still bearing some mysterious relation to the plans of the Eternal. The beauty and fidelity of Jewish women command my homage, and among wealthy and educated Jews the exquisite refinement of Jewesses, their culture and high breeding, blended with a sor of Oriental graca and dignity, put them a-tioug the most charming women in tne world. "Bat, the Jaw is tricky! Is he? Were you never taken in by a matnodist class. leader on a real estate trade? D d you never get into close quarter with a Presby terian speculator? uid you ever bay mining stock on the repre sentations of an Episcopalian broker r Did vou ever take -a man's word quicker because he was a Baptist or Roman Catho Lcr Did vou never see a stone weighing twenty pounds conceal ed in a bale of cotton grown by a Southerner? Did you never find lard in the butter sold by a New England Puritan? "The belief that the Jew is more dishonest than the Gentile is one-half non-sense and the other half prejudice and false hood. The anti-Jewish feeling which now seems to be rising again is un-Christian, inhuman and un-American. Nj man can share it who believes in the uni versal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man. It is born of the devil and is detestable. "George R. Wendling." He Fooled the Surgeons. All doctors told Renick Hamil ton, of West Jefferson, O., after suffering 18months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured himself with live boxers of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on earth, and the best Salve in the World. 25 cents a box.

The diplo matic body at Pekin has decided to ask an audience of tbe Emperor and Empress dowager, to make representations of the perilous condition of matters. All foreign ftmilies are ia a nnic. and are troops between Iofa Yong Tsun yesterday. Fighting is still going on. The Chinese authorities refuse to allow British marines and blue jackets to en1 rain here for PekiD, though British officers offered to repair tha railway. Figbt:ng is going on between the Chmese troops and Boxers twenty miles from here in the di rection of Pekin. An engagement is also reported to have taken place on the Taku road. It is le ported that the Chinese troops have been defeated near Pacc-Ting-Fu. Two warships haye arrived at Taku. London. June 8. The report that Chinese authorties have re fused to allow more British ma rines to force their way from Tien Tsin, and that the dowager empress has sent three thousand soldiers to protect th3 railroad has created grave anxiety here. It is believed that tbe soldiers were sent to oppose the British and that a battle will take place. Rheumatism Cored in a Day.

Three of His "Cullud Gemmen" Come to Grief. Judge Purnell Lifts the Hide of Little Ber nard and Others in Open Court For Trying to Shield Guilty Men. Raleigh Ivews and Observer. As a result of the Federal court just ended here, three of "Pritch ard's Pets" have come to grief. They are now serving sentences in the common jils of Wake and Halifax counties for taking money that did not belong to them while they were in charge of the postoffices to which they were appointed by President Mclvinley, with the con sent of Jeter C. Pritchard and upon the recommendation of George H. White. The three defaulters all negroes are as follows, with the length of sentences they are to serve: Isriel D. Harget, postmaster at Rocky Mount, one year in Wake county jailr C. W. Battle, postmaster at Battle- boro, nine months in Halifax jail. James M. Pittman, postmaster at Tillery, one year in Halifax jail. Hargett was sentenced yesterday . . and in delivering the judgment of the court Judge Purnell had some timely remarks to make. Among other things he said: "It appears from the criminal docket of this court that the post masters of the Second district are becoming a stench in the nostrils of the people. This is the third one tfct has xeceixv, , been seni; to jail. an ere" is ilev vn'JI iJHMJtiii- that there is not one or two up here charged with some grave crime. "And I can't undertand why it is that officers of the government con tinue chaffering with criminals and scheming to get them off light. I want to serve notice now and here hat this is the last one of these de faulting postmasters that will be sent to jail. Hereafter they will go o the penitentiary. This man would have gone there but for the plead ings and solicitations of public offi cials and Others in his behalf." People who have been in court watching the proceedings say that one of the "officers of the govern ment" Judge Purnell had reference to in his remarks was little Claudie Melnot, the Bernard wiio imagines he fills the office of District Attor ney and who has recently been migh ty busy rubbing oft the blots these negro officials have put on Senator Pritchard's fine record. U orinus Sews Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile or WasUita, l. r. rie writes "Four bottle of Ele.t-ic Bitters hascaielMr.s Brewer of scrof ula, which bad caused ter great suff ring for years.

The New Orleans Titnes-Dam-ocrat presented on June 1 the as certainments of numerous cor respondents on the cotton states as to the condition of the cotton crop on Juno 1; and after com paring and collating them care fully, it arrived at these conclus ions: 1, The average increase of acreage throughout the belt seems to be about 8 per cent. A larger area would, undoubtedly, have been sown, had not the di version of labor to pother indus tries stood in the way. 2. The purchases of fertilizers were very large, but the torren tial rains of April effected a very considerable reduction in this item. 3 The .forecast of a possible scarcity of seed for planting or replanting is found to have had no basis of fact. 4. The supply of farm animals has been sufficient for every purpose. 5. The condition of the plant varies greatly, in different local ities. The outlook in Texas is, by all accounts, one of the worst of which the records make mention. Elsewhere the elements have been less unkind, but the crop is almost universally backward and will, therefore, be peculiarly sen sitive to the frost. An open win ter will be necessary in order to insure a bountiful harvest ; i nor mal date of frost would keep the yield within very moderate dis mensions; and early freeze would imply an absolute disaster. Spec ulations on these points are ab solutely idle; time must be left tktell its story. Ifndqubt edly is, it by gJrjMs. mat mere win oe a recc A iiic Ni- mg crcp. it is plain mere ma such-a crop if wrather conditions are until November at least favor able; it is also plain that much of the crop may be cut off by early frosts. No one will bo able to accurately estimate the size of the growing crop befoie November 1. In the reports gathered by the Times-Democrat there is nothing of a discouraging nature either in respect to cotton or o her crops of the cotton belt. The Times-Democrat received reports from B.rmingh m, Greene yille, Montgomery, GidsdeD, Tus caloosa, Athens, Florence, Hunts ville, Mobile, Demopolu and Eu faula. These towns fairly repre sent the State, and each and ev ery one reports an increase in acreage and in the use of fertil- izirs. All report tne crop back ward, but all, or nearly all, antic ipate a crop in excess of last year's growth. Tne Montg mery correspondent cjnsiders the month just ended the bet May for cot ton planting and growing that the State has . ever known. All the correspondents in this State were not, however, so enthusiastic. The Tuscaloosa correspondent is not over-confident, and the Demopolis correspondent thinks the crop in his section is not much better than the crop of last year was at this ' season of the year. The 'Appetite of a Goat Is envied by all poor dyspepa tics whose Stomach and Liver are out of order. All such should know that Dr. King s New Life Pills, the wonderful Stomach and Liver Remedy, gives a splendid appetite, sound digestion and a regular bodily habit that insures perfect health and great energy.
