PRUSSIA AND THE JEWS.

The New York Times, commenting on the mobbing - of the Berlin Jews by the Berlin students at the beginning of the New Year, says the date selected was certainly suggestive. “It is always at the end of the year that tailors and readymade clothing merchants exhibit a disgusting anxiety to have their bills paid. Beyond a doubt, in the last week of December 90 men out of every 100 ofyfhjg students of the Berlin University was informed that if they did not pay for their coats and trousers they would be sued. Judging by the appearance of the typical German student he always buy’s his clothes ready made. His coat is precisely the sort of garment which the Jewish dealer asserts will fit his customer V ‘ shust like the paper on the wall,’ and his trousers have all the elegance of the ‘ nishe pants ’ of Chatham-street. Now it must have occurred to the Berlin students that if they could drive the Jews out of the city there would be no more trouble on account of ready-made clothing- bills ; and had a rigid examination been made of every student’s pockets on,Naw Year's Day, the explanation of their riotous^conduct would have been found in the bills of Moses and Aaron and ,Abraham for coats and trousers furnished during the year 1880.
