WASHINGTON, i. G., Feb. 1.--Ihc diversity Of

impossible to reconcile majority to
uuy ono policy, and the idea was abandoned.
The silent follows were found to havo opinions
Of thor own, and scarcely any two alike. III tho
Democratic camp, the sumo trouble exists.
Among the Republicans anl Donlocrats Gun bo
found, in about equal numbers, oxpansionlgts,

Demonstration at Jerusalem.

The London correspondent of the JeWish Messenger says that he is in re- ceipt of q private letter from Jerusalem
 which gives a sad account of things in the Holy City. Beggars are many, laborers few. It is, indeed, sad to hear these continued descriptions from i'm partial witnesses, of the miserable beg garly position of the Jews of Jerusalem. A great deal of the present misery of the Jerusalem Jews is directly traced to the misplaced, ill-advised generosity of the European Jews, who think they are discharging a religious duty, as well as performing charitable act, by send ing money in the form of Chetstchah to Jerusalem. Old men, middle aged men, and even young lads, who can and ought to be made to work for their liv- ing, centre their whole object in life upon sharing in the funds obtained from the Jews outside of Jerusalem. The worst of it is, that the young chil- dren follow, and, in fact, are made to follow the pernicious example of the parents. There must eventually come time when concerted action will be taken by the Jews of Europe upon this question, Undoubtedly great good could be done with the money now sent to Jerusalem, if better system of dis tribution were organized. As it is, un- der the present system, the money does much more harm than good.
