TEL ATTACKS ON JEWS."

ELZER, The Jewish Chronicle deeply deplores -the present attacks on Jews in South Wales, and points out that the causes are cbrious. The Jews, the journal says, are largely engaged in business, in which they are keen and asaidiors; Welshmen owe them money and are sometimes sued for it; thus creating irritation. The Jews also collect rent from all, and this does not improve the feeling towards them. The journal concludes that the Jewish packman is a product of Russian terror: to-day be is attacked in Wales, and to-morrow he may be elsewhere. Oppression by Russia is thus a world-wide oppression.
