The Clinton News-Record, 1898-03-24, Page 3NOT&$ AND C6dl3fENTS emu The root of all th'e confusion In ' France, and the chief present menace to the stability of the Republic, is the popular hpatred of the Jews. 'There is no other reason for the rage of the populace, the shrieking of the press and the disorder in the cities, than the belief that Dreyfus, a Jew, did sell military secrets, that he is being pr's tented by a Jewish syndicate, bent or ruining France through its money power, and that the Government sc Years that powper that It may try Drey fux again In open court, There can bt no other cause for alarm, for it is car tain that the power which bought tilt seorets of the moliilization scheme wit "_ not move to DreyfuW support, th( Chamber sides with the people in de pending that there shall be no re tial and the army, as represented by its generals, insists that the verdict o1 Its eot>,r't shall stand. There is no res eon anywhere for the popular turmoi •except the belief, assumed or real that the Republic is in danger from the Jews, and as the Jews everywhere .are only an insignificant minority that a whole people should rage agalasl them seems inexplicable. It is tht - more so because the Jews labor under no political or religious disabilitjet \n France, always perform their civ lc duties faithfully,have served loyalll In the army, and have been as Frencl as any other class of the population E Nevertheless, hatred of them has stead ily increased of re(:ent years, due Er 1' part to tine traditional religious pre r,: judice entertained for them by tilt �,'., peasantry, but chiefly to the grow• �' ing hatred of the money power and li th'erefore, of the Jews as its most con apic•uous representatives. Whatever the basis of this new hat red may be, whether pity for the poor or envy of thie rich, or belief that wealth is constantly used to lluy le gislation and influence policies, tb( fact • retuains that it has spread throughout Franck. 'rite conviction of Dreyfus for "hetraying France gave „ it a fresh atimulus, and -when to that was added the efforts of his co-reli• gionists to secure his release, or it t•he popular view, the efforts of a syn• dicate of Jewish capitalists to compel the Gover'n'ment to release him, the French public seethed with excitement ,., - And as the disposition of the Frencl when violently excited is to expres, their dissatisfac•tion either by c•hang• ing the form of government or by pro ;tuc%ing the kind of anarchy under which dictators appear or states dis• appear, the danger which threatens the Republic. is apparent. Should the rage •against. the Jews continue and result in violent outbreak, the Government must protect,thtpra, not alone because it. is its first duty to protect all cd• linens, but because attack on the Jews will involve attack upon all pro- perty, and to do this the army must bs ordered to fire. The crisis will. then !have arrived, for if the army shares the popular hatred of the Jews, it. will refuse to obey orders; and as it deems its honor to have been impugned, the real charge of the Dreyfus party being that its courts are mere crea- fares of the State and so Incapable of rendering a just verdict, it may refuse, In that event, the Government. will be powerless, while if the troops obey orders; control will pass into the hands of the group of generals who direct the French army for only by their support can the Government go on. The probability is that both the army which has •always regarded govern- ment by civilians with something ap- proaohing contempt, and the property- �wners whose wealth is threatened, would then demand a stronger gov- ernment, and that the Republic would give place to a dictatorship or a mon- , archy.

Washington, March 13. --Rev. Dr. Tal- mage this morning preached. from Acts vii, 56-G0. "Behold I see the heavens opened," etc, die said : Stephen had been preaching a rous- ing ser•mou, and the people could nut &fund it. 'They resullved to do as men sometimes would like to do in this day, if they dared, with some plain preach- er of righteousuess—kill him. 'The only w•ay to silence this man was to knock tine breath out of him. So they rushed Stephen out of the gates of the city, and with cua'se and whoop and bello%v they lu•oug•ht hint to the cliff. as w•as the custom when they wanted to take away life by sitoning. Having broughit him to the edge of the cliff, they pushed him off. After he had fallen they came and looked down, and seeing that he was not yet dead, they begun to drop alanes upon him, stone after shone. ,Amid this horrible rain of missiles Stephen clambers up on his knees and folds his hands, while the blood drips from his temples to his cheeks, front his cheeks to his garm- ents. from his garments to the ground, and then, looking up, he makes two prayers—one for himself and one for his murderers. "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit I" 'That was fur himself. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge 1" That was for his assailants. Then, from pain and loss of blood,• he swooned awway and fell asleep. 1 want to shote you to -day five pie- tures—Steplien gazing into heaven. Ste- phen looking at Christ. Stephen ston- ed„ Stephen In his dying prayer and Stephen asleep. First Look at Stephen gazing into heaven. Before you take a leap you want to knoAw where you are going to laud. Before you climb a ladder you Avant to know• to wihat point the ladder reaches. And LL was right that Steph- en„ within it Peru moments of heaven should be gazing into it. We would all do well ,to be found iu the same posture. 'There is enoiugh in heaven to keep us gazing.

The whole universe is itis pal- ace. In thisIow•er roan where we stop there are many adornments—tessellat- ed floor of amethyst., and on the wind- ing cloud stairs are stretched out can- vasses o.n which commingle azure and purple and saffron and gold. ,But heav- en is the gallery in which the chief glories are gathered.
