Ir matters not whether they are asa people regarded as the finest, but they so regard themselves, and we must take them as we find them, and according to their own standard. We have nothing to do with their religion, be it good, bad, or indifferent; but if they get rapped and caricatured oftener than any other set of men and women it is because they present more points of attack. There can be no doubt about their thrift and push. They are aggressive by nature, and succeed where others would starve. All this there is a certain amount of respect for, and it is doubtful if they would have made themselves 80 obnoxious as they everywhere have, as a class, had this been their only failing. In Baxter or Chatham street they might be to!- erated, because they seldom come in contact with anything finer grained than they are themselves, and perhaps no great objection would be raised to their dragging countr; men into their shops and fleecing them while pretending to clothe them; but whea they thrust themselves into superior society, with their gaudy make-up and vulgar aggressive- ness; when they so far forget, or what they should have learned if not natural to them, the common civilities and decencies of society; when they attempt to monopolize cars, the seats at seaside resorts, bringing the fra- grance of their slummy homes with them, then they become public nuisances, then they make themselves targets for contempt, satire and caricature. Is it not 80? ‘This does not apply to more refined Jews, many of whom are our most respectable and polite citizens ; but it does apply to thousands of the most vulgar, who thereby reflect upon the whole race. Would it not be better to expend the charity which is being given to thousands more of this same sort who are coming here from Russia, in civilizing those who are now here, and teaching them some- thing of the decencies of society? EVIDENTLY, Senator Logan doesn’t wear his heart upon his sleeve for Dawes to peck at. THE JUDGE. Corinthian Races. OF course you know what is meant by a Co- rinthian race—where the owners of yachts take command and navigate the whole thing themselves, And nice work they make of it sometimes. Indeed, there is generally more fun to the registered ton at a Corinthian race than there is at a dozen where sailing-masters and hired thorough-breds manage the deck and upper works, leaving the owner to manage the de- canters and things in the cabin. Our artist is an old yachtsman himself, al- though it is uncertain whether he ever sailed his own yacht or not, but he has ‘been there” and seen others do it many a time at all events. The owners of yachts are very often the veriest novices in anything nautical, depend- ing entirely upon their hired sailing-masters. But when it comes time for a Corinthian race, as it does every season, then the fun be- gins. Ofcourse the sailing-master has noth- ing to say, indeed, if he even goes on board towitness the race, and then our dandy sailors have a chance to show themselves, Of course they will naturally have it that our artist has exaggerated the business, but if you think so, gentle reader, providing you are no sailor and have never seen a race of this kind, ask some of the old salts who have witnessed many of them, And we ourselves have known of more than one final catastrophe where a yacht has been capsized while trying to round a buoy, just as the artist has shown, to say nothing of the other incidents which his graphic pencil por- trays, and yet there is any quantity of fun in Corinthian races—for the spectators. Nothing but the “ Truth.” ON a certain occasion the Herald was go- ing for Charles A, Dana hammer and tongs. Indeed, a gadfly never went for a bobtailed horse with more tantalizing earnestness than the Herald went for the Sun and its chief editor. For a long time no notice was taken of it, and people wondered what it meant. Finally one morning there appeared in the Sun this question: ‘ Will the Herald call off its dogs?” The dogs were called off, and ever since that time the Sun has been to the Herald “ our distinguished contemporary.” No one appeared to know just what was meant, but they did not fail to notice the sudden change. For months past Truth has been belabor- ing Mr. Dana most savagely. Indeed, it has gone for him more fiercely, by half, than ever the Herald did. Especially was it personally severe about his making the presentation speech on the occasion of the bestowal of the Bennett medal to the bravest fireman. But the day following that presentation speech, Truth had nothing to say. It was as dumb as an oyster, and has remained so ever since. Now the question naturally arises, did Mr. Dana ask Truth to ‘‘call off its dogs?” If he did, there must have been some good cause for the quick compliance, and a very potent reason for its silence since then. In- deed, it looks as though Mr. Dana had the bulge on somebody. Where Will He Go? DENT ARTHUR has fully earned the right to a vacation, and Tue JupcEe trusts that enjoyment will attend upon By his act in vetoing the infamous River and Har- bor Appropriation bill he won at once the admiration of Democrats as well as Republi- cans throughout the country, and although Congressional pirates passed the bill over his veto, his action is none the less worthy of the greatest commendation. Ie stands forth as awise and manly President, and to such an one the Republic will not be ungrateful. Everybody who knows President Arthur is well aware that he ‘knows how to live.” None of his predecessors, perhaps, were so well acquainted with a good bill of fare at dinner, or with the art of securing enjoyment in many ways, as himself, and this fact has, it seems, become widely known. We read in the eyer-reliable daily newspapers that he is booked for his summer vacation at every known summer resort in every State in the Union, and we congratulate him that he can thus dispose of himself so liberally. We are assured by the correspondents Island that rooms have been especially engaged for him for the season at the Oriental Hotel, and that Roscoe Conk- ling will fan the political flies away from him. ‘The correspondents at Long Branch have no hesitation in branding their brethren at Coney Island as willful liars, and say with refreshing positiveness that the magnificent cottage erected by Mr. John Hoey near the lodge of Hollywood Park is prepared for the exclusive use of the President, and that he will soon occupy it. The correspondents at New- port, Saratoga, Cape May, Atlantic City, Mt. Desert, Richfield Springs, the Thousand Isl- ands, and a hundred other summer resorts, take the liberty of declaring that the President has engaged rooms at their respective places, and proudly announce his coming. It is said that fully a ton of invitations to visit statesmen in various parts of the coun- try has been received by the President, and that his body-servant is kept busy carrying fresh trays of these enticing epistles to him every day, That the statesmen and hotel- keepers may be disappointed, and that they may be forced to mourn the President's ab- sence, is the intimation conveyed in a news- paper rumor from Washington that he will seek the seclusion which the cabin of the old Talla- poosa grants, and go ont tosea. Whichever way he may go we hope that he will be rid of political flies, and that the icy specter of Governor Cornell will not haunt him. NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Governor Cornell's friends in the Republican State Committee failed to fix the time for the hold- ing of the State Convention, we still believe that the Governor will secure a renomination, He is not easily disturbed, as thousands of puli- ticians know to their sorrow, and in the strug- gle for a renomination, he is fighting for his existence as a politician, His defeat means death to all his political hopes. comicbooks.com
