Jewish Citizenship,

The New York Observer, Christian pub
lication of marked ability, lately printed an
article on the prospect of the Jews in Pales.
tine. in which it Is stated that the number
of Jews at Jerusalem has increased to IL, 900,
and that the number of charitable institu-
tons has largely increased, the German Jews
having no less than Is of these institutions.
and intimafing the opinion that the Jews
throughout the world are preparing to return
to the Holy Land. The Hebrew Leader points
out the absurdity of such a movement or
superstition. and remarks:
In New York there are over &c, 900 resident
Isrselltes and very few of them are depend
emit on charity. No one that is able TO work
IL out of employment. II it takes 16 charits-
BILE institutions to support those Jews in
Palestine who are Germans. we would be
tempted to believe that nearly every Jew
resident IN the Holy Land is wholly or par
TALLY supported by charity, aud from ell
that We can gather this Is largely the case.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
expended in charity that has only serve1 to
create race of beggars and idler. For
there are always those who will not work 90
long as somebody will feed and ciothe
them, and We all know that idleness ID
CONTAGIOUS. Now, then. compare the condi'
ton Of the Jews In New York, in London,
in Paris. or in Vienna, with the condition OF
the Jews in Jerusalem, and then consider II
there IL any possible inducement that would

there-who has assimilated himself TO the
laws and habits Of the country and grown
be leader in society, in art, in business or
In politics-to pull up his stakes to remove
to the desert fields and sterile plains Of Pal
estine? It would add nothing to his com
fort, his position, the future welfare OF hi m
self or his family. 1t would be the. de-
struction Of home and h'.s Cit
ixenship. As we'll might one Expect the
descendants of the Dutch, Eng .ish, Swedes
and French, who came to thu country 300
years ago to pull up their stakes and go back
to the countries from Which their fore
fathers emigrated. Bnt the editor of the
Observer is no more OF an American citizen,
and no more attached to his native land,
than the humblest Jew who will cast his vote
in November. This is truth that we are
forever striving to beat into the heads of
men who seem to be sensible on every other
point but this. Until it is understood, and
fully, there will not be a final extinction OF
prejudice and entire justice will not be done
to our people. An that we have
looked upon and treated just like 9TH
er citizens-and that our religious tenets
shall not be dragged into the every day mat
ters OF our lives, or into the published
records of little petty crimes or accidents
As citizens of the United States we ask to be
considered simply in our civil and political
relations-and that our religious tenets
should be let as severely alone as any relig-
ious sect or denomination. We are proud
of our citizenship in this Republic, for which
we and our fathers have always been ready
to sacrifice life and treasure, and we have
the right to ask that our citizenship shall be
fully acknowledged in public and private.
This Will come sooner or later-lt should
have come before this.

In their red, aboriginal roses.
Why Shakespeare was wrong in his grammar
And the SEeaning of EE1ersons Drama"

The Trouble with the Ute Indians.

DENVER, Col, Oct 1.-THE causes OF the Ute
outbreak, as stated from Washington, ia mis-
take. There has been no encroachments on the
reservation. Prospectors never went to WASH
ington to urge Congress to disregard the
treaty. The Northern Utes who attac ked
Thornburg were not interested in the demand
OF the Los Plnus UJes. The cause of the out
break was probably failure of the Government
to pay the $4,000 due under the treaty of 1873,
by which the San Juan: mining region was
ceded by the Utes. The colorado Congress and
Colorado people have never asked the transfer
of the Utes to the Indian nation. The follow
ing is list of those at White River agency:
Probably Agent N. c. Meeker, wife and daugh-
ter; Joseph Expire, aged 81; Frank and Harry
Dresser, E. Mansfield, w. 81. Post, Mr.. and
