THE EMC AN ISRAELITE. LET THERE VT BE LIGHT. VOLUME 42. CINCINNATI, JANUARY 30, 1896. NUMBER 31.

AME VICTOR AND VANQUISHED. a vory large extent, if not generally, the minis tor in this couutry is tho most pniiNnrn KM heaping Powder ry on a discussion, even if it be controversial in its nature, without descending to tho lowest and vnlgarest personalities, they are unlit to occupy either pulpit or editorial chair. Anything more monstrous than the display one of the rabbi-editors made of himself last weok has beou rarely wjtnessed, aud it has nevor boon equalled in indecency iu the history of JewiBh journalism which is saying much. To attack by hint and innuendo, the private character of a brother rabbi and editor is an offense whose rankness must reach the high heavens. To imply by insinuation that a contemporary is guilty of disgraceful acts is as cowardly as it is contemptible.

If a man has done anything for whioh he should be exposed, the exposure should be made openly aud above board; but if the editor does not feel that it is his duty to pursue that course aud nevertheless uses his i knowledge of the The Mosler Safe Co, Opernttug the Mosler Corliss Safe Factories Sole owners Monler Corliss Patents Mosler Patent Fire timl Burglar Proof Safes.

The quostiou in this froo couutry is has a man any rights that tho nowspapors are bound to respect Now that the Queen of Groat Britain, etc, and Empress of India, and bar sinister sovereign of Egypt, Trinidad, and divers other possessions of dubious title has written a personal letter to the Sultan of Turkey, the question arises is he any longer the "Unspeakable Turk" If an individual has batter feelings which can be appealed to iu writing cannot tho same person be spoken to and mentioned in good society The queen, it is reasonable to suppose, has better means of information than almost anybody else, and yet she finds it possible to address tho unspeakable without fear of contamination. Cnn it be possiblo after all, that Mr. Abdul Humid is not as black as he has been painted by some very far from disinterested parties? At any rate, the Queen has given him a sort of quasi recoguition which leads to the belief that she looks upon him as not wholly iuhu-umu. If most of our newspaper editors and all of the crowd of professional Bhriekers in behalf of humanity ouu get themselves around to the same point of view, perhaps he will listou to them when they ask for favors. prominent man among his coreligionists.

In most Jewish communities ho is called upon to act as the representative of the Jews in public assemblages, and socially he is constantly coming iu contact with non-Jews who ore vory apt to judge his nock by the way he conducts himself. If suoh a man is no gentleman and gives his congregation cause to blush for his behavior, its members will most proba bly prefer one who has less learning and more manners. Social polish and social amenities may be looked upon as of lit tie importance by some, but by them it is within tho power of the Jews to large ly influence the attitude of their non- Jewish neighbors. Many a Jew has to thank Mb own vulgarity for tho sooial ostraoism which he attributes to religious prejudice. If people see that the Jews are satisfied to permit a boor in the paluit it will rightly be con cluded that tbey themselves are too ure- fined for sooial intercourse, and as the Jews are sufficiently handicapped as it is they cannot be blamed if they decline to he burdened with a rabbi of whom they need be ashamed.

Speaking of Temple Emanu-El's rumored invitation to Rev. Dr. Emil Hirsoh the Hebrew Journal says: But of what benefit Hirsch will be to New York, and how far the Emann El cougregatkiu of this city may be better for him than the Sinai comrroffa- tion of Chicago, (if the question of salary is put aside,) is hard to conjecture. In Chicago he is the leading man. minis ter, professor, editor, lecturer, Peterte auf alie buppen everything.

If he becomes minister of the Etnauu-El con gregation here, he will be "merely this una notmng more. Indeed Perhaps there may be some truth in what the Hebrew Journal asserts; maybe there is something in the atmos phere of New York that dull3 men's minds. I have often thought there must be something in the air of that city which tends to paralyze the intel lectual faculties of its residents. Coining from the bracing vitality of Chioago life to the sluggish torpidity of existence in New York may act upon Dr. Hirsoh like amenta! blanket and extinguish that vigor of mind for whioh he is noted and which haB made him a central figure iu tho society of men of brains.

I can assure the Journal 'thafc ifr Dr. HirSch takes up his residence in Now York he will be not only the rabbi of Temple Emanu-El but consider able of something else besides. He will not be overshadowed by his brother rab- biB to any such an extent. as to render him iu I dare say he even will be able to cast a little light despite the presence of those other luminaries. Dr.

Hirsoh is not the sort of a man to be quenched by a bushel measure, and after illuminating Temple Emonn-El he will probably have a few rays left to shed upon that part of New York which lies outside of its purlieus. Dr. Hirsch is not a big man by comparison; his largeness is not due to Chicago's smaliness; he is quite big enough to be seen wherever he may be aud there is considerable of a possibility that if he goes to New York he will occupy enough space to make it uncomfortably narrow for some others. If the gentleman who wrote to me from Florida, and whose name and address I have lost, will forward the same again, I will communicate with him privately. New York is, as yet, the metropolis of this country, and has many great men as a consequence, but that does not make great men of all who live there.

As a matter of foot, bnt few of its prominent men are natives of the city. They nearly all come from outside after they have made their marks else where. The life of a large city is not favorable to the development of great men, and with the exception of money-makers they come originally from the country or small towns. Even most of the big money kings of New York were not born and raised there. There are eight chances out of ten in favor of country boys growing up to be useful men.

This Is not alone due to the concentration in oities of the depraved and shiftless elements, but to the superior moral and physical surroundings of the country, City life depraves and deteriorates, and I have no doubt that if large cities were left to sustain their populations solely by increase from births the inhabitants would so degenerate that in a few generations they would die ont completely. It is fresh blood from the country that keeps the large cities of the world alive. It seems as if certain of our rabbi-editors are bent upon justifying the strict ures passed upon them by some of their non-rabbinical competitors. It iB passing strange that men who bear npon their shoulders the responsibility of conserving the good name of Judaism should, the moment they take a pen iu hand, emulate the methods of the most contemptible penny-a-liners. Men who stand as the representatives of their communities and whose business it is by word and act to inculcate decency in all the relations of life, have no right week after week to make blackguards of themselves through the columns of the journal they edit.

And the winner he who lost. Harry Thurston Peck. -CniOAGO ISBAKUTB. NOTES AND COMMENTS. i herewith extend my most distinguished felicitations to Rabbi E.

N. Culish of Richmond and to those who have followed in his footsteps upon their inuugiinttion of cirenlt preaching. I hoys the diiy will soon dawn when eren the BiualleBt communities of Jews will have frequent opportunities of instruction uud exhortation by such worthy touchers iu Israel. Aud here's to Rubbi Berkowitz upon his streuuons and successful efforts iu behalf of the Jewish Chautauqua may that child of his labor and love grow to be a monnment of his devotion to the cause. I likewise pour a libation to Dr.

Krauskopf iu recoguition of his agricul tural training school the dootor maybe somewhat visionary at times in regard to some things but he is practical enough iu accomplishing the good works to which he sets his shoulders. Iu fact, the young rabbis are making themselves felt now that they have had the time to accustom to Jhar. ness. The good results of the Hebrow Union College are only beginning to make themselves felt. It twn9 not to be expected that during the first few years tho graduates would do the work of veterans.

It will be noticed that it is the men of the earlier classes who are making themselves known' by their labors; with time the others will follow iu their footsteps. The nature of the work some of them ore engaged in does not permit of publicity, but the time will come when their names will be known iu the scientific and literary world. Like Grossman of Detroit, they will be welcomed into the world of scholarship here and abroad. Despite all detraction and slander the graduates of the Hebrew Union College have re ceived the most thorough; fundamenta training for the positions they have been called upon to occupy. No doubt there are any number of men in Russia who are more familiar with the Talmud than are tho graduates of the College, but us most of these men know nothing be sides, there iB no danger that American congregations will elect them to officiate as rabbin.

Tho day has gone by for rabbis who are ignorant of everything eavo Hebrew; the present day occupant of a pulpit must be an all-around educated geutleman even if some Hebrew must ba saormcea eo mane mm so. That here and there there will be a graduate to make the Hebrew language aud the Talmud a scientific study, I have no doubt, but the average rabbi will not be expected to be a Tahnndio encyclopedia. I think I am safe in saying that the rising generation of Jews will demand of their ministers that, first of all, they shall be geutlomen. Neither education, cuence nor piety are suiuoienfc to take the place of decent manners in the spirit ual representative of a community. To SPOONFULS REQUIRED I Mfc BtST THAT 3r, L.

Such a procedure is a violation of all newspaper or otheri ethics, and reflects disgruce only upon (lie man who stoops to it.

When he descends to use such blackguardism in the place of argument, the outside world will conclude he is getting very much, the worst of the fight. At auy rate, let men who handle suoh dirty weapons hear in mind that they are spiritual leaders as well as editors, and that there is some respect due from them to their congregations. And above everything else, let reputable journalists refrain from encouraging the pariahs of journalism by copying their methods. I oannot coinoidfl with the geueral protest that has gone forth npou the removal of Geueral Balliugton Borth and his accomplished wife from their position at the head of the Salvation Army in this couutry. Commander-in-chief Booth has no doubt taken note of the deterioration of the Army over hore whioh has been quite evident to me for Borne time past.

The old spirit which made the saving of souls and the redemption of the fallen its first and overshadowing business in life has given way to a money-getting phasis that seems to make the attainment of uiekles and dimes its sole vocation. The earnest hymns aud prayers have given way to displays of buffoonery uponvhioh based appeals for money, uud where the appeal to the soul used to be heard the appeal to the pocket now cleaves the oiroumambient air. I expect the old commander has seen something of this and bos recalled his son in consequence. The mountebank tomfoolery and horse-play of oanting hoodlnms is a poor substitute for the prayers and songs of the earnest men and women who formerly gave the Sal vation army its peculiar character and spirit. A return to the simplicity aud purity of the patristio army Is what wo need iu this country, and call upon Commander-in-chief Booth to turn his energies toward accomplishing that end, even if he has to suorifloe his entire fam ily.

It is very funny to sea au individual who hits ont right and left with any and every weapon that oomes to his hand. who uses satire and irony npon the slightest pretext, who never is deterred by consistency from striking a blow it is funny, indeed, to behold suoh a one when he has to toko a little of his own medicine. The slightest priok on his own skis from the same sword with which he has cnt the most brntal gashes npon others starts him jumping about aud bellowing like a wounded bull. He froths at the mouth, writhes and groans in agony, and makes a most holy shw and pitiable spectacle of himself generally. That's not the kind of material' ont of whioh the leaders of men are made.

The great, oalm lighters who only attack from high motives and who strike orushing blows whon they fight, are not the ones to go iuto hysterias when pyg mies tickle their skin with a feather. Nor do suoh childish antics betoken mnch confidence or belief in the oause they are defending. It is all mere sound and fury, signifying nothing. The best fighter in the world amounts to but lit tle unless he has a good oause behind him, and believes in it. Tho death of Mrs.

Fanny Friedman of Cinciuuati a few weeks ago, at a ripe old age.took from the Jewish community of that oity a true mother in Israel. Her modest humility kept her good deeds limited to the knowledge of their lovod and honored her, as did all who camo within the circlo of her kindly influence. Ont of her small fortnne of less than $11,000 she left $00 to oharity. If others who made mnch greater pretensions than Mrs. Friedman had done as much in proportion, the charity funds of Cincinnati would be greatly the rioher.

The way the reporters have been dogging the footsteps of ex-President Harrison since the announcement of his engagement to Mrs. Dimmick is a disgrace to repntable journalism. The shameless intrusions npon the privaoy of both by representatives of the presB, and the brazen demands for details of a private character surpassed the bounds of decency.
