""FjtfDAY", MARCH 20,18fll. THE JEW. Hon Simon Wolf, a lecturer who Is ' well known in Charlotte, spoke b -fere the Classic Society's meeting, lu Washington City, on the persecu tion of th Jews: "Only during the last ten years," Mr. Wolf said, "have ' Oerman,.French sad Arabic works upon the Jews been translated into other languages, aad better mean been given for dispelling a great deal of ignorance which has been dis played in this ooanM about the nbject. Who are these Jews this people so maligned, so mlsuader stood, so hated, so hounded, so per secuted, banished, expatriatod,;con flned in narrow circles, almost con fined in their narrowness who are they? Are they not the people who have conferred the greatest blessings upon humanity, apart and paroel of the brain and body to which be longed the Saviour and the apostles, wAo carried to the nations ef the earth Christianity and elviliiation? Are they not the people of the law and of the Book, who in the dark ages of Europe, when gloom gener ally prevailed, founded colleges and schools and kept ablaze the flame of knowlege and intellettual life, who ' treated commerce, whloh frater nltei and brings about the unity and harmony of all sections? Their vir tue In demestic life is wonderful ; they are temperate in conduct, Id their lives, and in their dealiDgs.and notwithstanding all the scorching they have received, have stood in the forefront in ereij country where op portunity has been given them. Have they not been patriots in every part ef the world? Have they not In Asia, Africa, and Europe been distin guished bylntegrity, whioh showed that they were part and parcel ef the land on which they lived. Where ODDortunitr has not been Riven to them to rise they have degenrated on the same scale as their surround ings, never, however, falling as low as their persecutors. For they had the law and the traditions of the fathers, who never pvnelyted. Their - strength baa consisted in their op position to proselytism. They have not created smnity among other faiths by desiring to strengthen thoir own at their expense. This condi Hon, though created a feeling of bit terness, of envy and of jealousy. For 1,8000 years precedlug the dawn of modern civilization, when monarch! were fighting menarchs and the nobility considered it de-- grading to work, when the money - 'was among the Jews and when the security for loans was insecure, the system of nsnry was created, a sys tem forced upon the Jews. They clung to the only means by which they could bribe their would be per secutors. Then If the Jew because an outcast, a pari a, whose fauH was It? From agriculturists they became "merchants and traders, and from traders they were driven to a position which has been handed down in Bhylock. How unjust! Think of it, that Christian seople should so far forget the lessons of their own Bible UJU V W U A l 1. V f ., , . , the founders of their religion and to ' poison the fonndatlon head of mod ern civilation. "Millions of my race have been tortured, slaaghtered, poisoned, and stretched upon me rack until their cries must have risen to Him on high. It was : Jewish money, wrung from the Jews by Ferdinand and Isabella, that fit ted out the vessel for Christopher Columbus, and it was a Jew, so it is said, who first stepped on Ainerioa's shores. The first to land in this glor Ioom country, the Jerusalem of the prophets, the Jerusalem to which thinking men cling, and for which the Jew is ready to shed his blood. We asked for no tolerance because we are Jews. We are part and par cel of this country, have contributed to Its success and prosperity as me.cn as any other people. All tnat we ask is that you investigate the why and the wherefore of these things Religion has nothing to do with it as a lauy or a gentleman or Dorn sucn. "For 1,600 years Europe was envel oped In absolute darkness except in Bpaln, where the Moors and the Jews were the custodians of the light which survived hatred and fanati cism, and at last broke forth in the broad sunlight of the present day." Referring then to his stay In Egypt, Mr. Wolf called attention to the fact that as Babylon, Damascus, Italbec, Rome, and Greece, where the Jews had suffer d, waned In the scale of humanity, the Jews rose, and recalled the words of Dis raeli that the race had "the proud distinction of a great race, exempli, fying the fact that there is a Uod In Israel and that truth mnst and will prevail. So of England, in Warsaw, Frankfort, Nayeuoe.and other places eonid be told stories so revolting, so barbarous, that they would curdle tne blood. Continalnir, tie saia : "Is there any reason, after this re cital oi norrert and sunering, tnat in this day of civilisation such conduct towards the Jews should continue in power with which we are on a peaceful footing? Mighty in many i things, It is yet so poor in others that 4 ,000,000 of my people art persecuted. It It necessary that laws should exist to cruel and p&rbarlc tb at their men tion even would bring the blush of shsnSM to the cheek of the humblest? When Jews revolt against them they are sent to Siberia, their homes are destroyed, and theli wives and daughters are violated. This state Is brought about by the gov ernment and by ihe church, princi pally ry the church. hih! and affects Protestants as well as Jews. What can you expect of a government whose ruler in in, onstant dread for his own life ami cannot learu the real Htate of affairs'.' I f pr J udice has been euirondon-.d it is entirely due to the condition to which the Jew has been forced. When man has been forced to the lowest condition he is nothing but an animal flirhting for his wife and child ren. "I tell the emigrants when tlioy come to this country they must come wltn tiie purpose of becomliiir Amer ican citizens. Ii is not surrlsinR that Jews are found aim ng the Ni hilists of Russia or the HoclalUtrf of Germany, but for anarchy and com munism, wo, in this sou n try have the trallows, or lynch law when lustice fails. After recounting the services to the orld of such Jews as Hoyon Holo- mons, Montenore, and others, the speaker said: "I ask you to ponder, to study, to investigate. We must investigate to be just : we must be just because justice is an attribute of (tod. Men and women are not to be Judged by their creed, but by their Individual merits." Toledo comes to the front with the distinction of haviug the largont cask in use In this .or any other country It Is of oak, weighs 40,000 pounds, and holds 36,000 gallonx of wine, that amount of Catawba being today con tained within Its oaken staves. It is 20 fast high, 21 feet long, and rests in a massive cradle of oak, which raises it about three feet from the floor. underneath this giant is a stone foundation seven feet in thickness The cask was built in 1883 and placed In its present position, the building containing it having been erected around it afterward. A flight of2 steps lead to the top of the cask, where there Is a platform, on which party so inclined could dance a quadrille with comfort, perhaps all the better for the reason of the hila rious element over which they tip ped. A New York doctor says: "Every body ought to keep in mind the fact that nearly half of all the ailments that end in death come from catch ing cold. A list of these ail men tH would bo melancholy reading, yet I may make It up some day to frighten people, and it will show how, by catching cold, the internal organs may be affected, and the muscular and nervous system, the head and brain and the blood. By catching cold you may take the grip, and this is a dangerous time of the year for it as my daily practice shows. I be lieve there must be 20,000cases of the grip In New York at this time, and many of its victims will have their lives shortened by it. Take warning in the month of March, and if you catch a cold make haste to get rid of it!" jricirs URiicrLT xoted. The Savings bank of Toneka,Kan closed doors yesterday.

The speakers were ex rienator Van Wvck, of Nebraska; J K. Willetts, of Kansas; ex-Congressman A. R. Anderson, of Iowa, and Uon. J. li. Weaver. The remarks were all pretty much in the same line, expressing tho radical views made familiar by the last cam paign in Kansas and Nebraska. Itoth the old parties were attacked with equal virulence and independent po litical action urged.
