The Dread of the Jew.*— The 

 Dreyftis affair and the furious passion.s 

 that it has awakened have their ulti- 

 mate foundation in dread and hatred of 

 the Jews. There is a Jewish question, 

 more or less acute, in every continental 

 country, and we are told by pessimists 

 that before long we shall have an anti- 

 Jewish movement in the East End of 

 London. These facts naturally suggest 

 an inquiry into the causes of the dread 

 and hate which the Jews inspire, and

 for some reason or other they inspire 

 terror. That this terror is as absurd 

 and as unreasonable as is the terror 

 caused respectively by Jesuits and Free- 

 masons, we ourselves do not dotibt for 

 a moment, but that does not alter the 

 fact that the sense of terror exists. It 

 is hardly too mucli to say that the ma- 

 jority of people on the Continent hon- 

 estly believe that unless the Jews are 

 in some way or other curbed, controlled, 

 and kept down, soniething very dreadful 

 will happen. In Russia the vast Sla- 

 vonic population and its leaders believe 

 that tinloss the Jews arc iinpoimded in 

 the Polish Pale they will swamp the 

 true Russian, and utterly ruin and de- 

 stroy the Russian nationality and the
