IS DEBT A BLESSING!

When Gov. Cullom was stumping the state
year ago in favor OF his own reelection, he
told the people that on the LIST OF January 1881
the state would be entirely out of debt SO that
thenceforth the splendid income from the Hi.
nols Central Railroad could be devoted to or
binary state expenses and no more taxes IN
that behalf need be imposed upon the people
The prophetic soul of Gov. Cullom, however,
seems to have afforded him no premonition OF
the fact that simultaneously with the extin
punishment of its debt, the state was to fall into
the hands of not only republican legislature
but the meanest Legislature the state ever had
Such premonltlon might have saved him
from utterances which the logic OF events has
made ridiculous The truth is, on account OF
the extravaganza ana corruption Of the last
legislature the state taxes for this year, in spite
of over half million extra income from tht
Central Railroad are higher than they have
been any year since the war, In 1878 the levy
for state purposes was SO cts. on the 800; il
1879 81 cts, in 1880 SO, and for this year the

Illinois may yet realize, as other states have
that public debt is public blesslng-tha
the honesty and economy enforced in the ad
mlnistration of the affairs of state burdened
with heavy debt is usually such that paying
even large interest costs less than the dlshon
esty and extravaganza arising from the notion
that the state being out of debt and rich, there
is no need Of economy IN the public expendi
lures.

file claims against few bankrupt estates that
were supposed to be able to pay from 80 to IS

ing up. If Mr. Bonneys bill, which apparent
ly proposes greatly to simplify the court pro-
ceedings in bankruptcy, gives reliable promise
also TO put stop to the robbery of such estates
under the name of legal fees, no doubt It would
be good thing to pass his bill, (which is
very doubtful-the national Legislature is bet
ter adapted to deal with the subject of bank
rurtcy than the state legislatures If, however
and now We suspect we come to the main
point that agitates Mr.. Bonney--his proposed
measure is one really of vast importance to the
commercial world, why in thunder don't the
people of Chicago elect Mr.. Bonney to con-
gress, so that he may be in position where he
can do something in the way of securing for
this great and glorious country SO eminent a

LOGAN.

If education formed the only test, John A.
Logan might pass for thlrd.rate politician ;
but rated by his shrewdness, keen, practical
Judgment and dexterity in guarding against
the designs of others and turning everything
to his own advantage or that Of his party, ne
stands to-day head and shoulders above any
other political manager in the republican
ranks. Conkling, who was estimated at one
time as king of the political bosses, became so
pufTed up with selfimportance that the balloon
had to be prlcked, and like King, he came
down helpless IN bog; Blaine's bubble in
like manner was prIcked at the September
election in Maine a year ago, and as boss
since then he has been q. discount; and the
Camerons in Pennsylvania are VIGOROUSLY at
the limit of their boss career. Logan alone,
of the once pulssant "old guard" retains his
prestige and abides master of the situation.
Conkling broke his back by foollshly inaugu'
rating quarrel with Garfield. Blaine, with
equal lack OF shrewdness, Involved himself IN
a foolish quarrel with the stalwarts; and the
Camerons won for themselves the well deserved
contempt OF both half:breeds and stalwarts by
hypocritlcally fawning on Garfield, at the same
time pretending as hypocritically to stand by
Conkling Logan alone had the mastery sa
gacity to pass through that quarrel IN way
not only to maintain the respect of both sides,
but to inspire them with wholesome awe of
his power When the halfbreeds In Chicago
made dead set to retain Hildrup In the mar
shalshlp, who but Logan could have compelled
Garfield to dsplace him and make way for the
stalwart Long Jones? When Blame recalled
ex.congressman Baker of Illinois as minister
to Venezuela and sent a Louisiana feather,
head named Carter to fill his place. who but
Logan had the power to compel Blaine to re-
call his appointment and reinstate Baker
And now that the halfbreeds are again at a
discount at the White House, 1t is Logan who
makes Arthur fill blank appointments at his
dictatlon, and to whom all the Illinois office
seekers are compelled to "come down" Hav-
inc arrived at an elevation of power like this,
will John A. Logan forget-Logan' While
filling the offices think you he will not select
such friends as will honor his drafts when the
selection of delegates to the next republican
national convention suggests the need Of draw
ing on them9 Yea, verify. When John A.
Logan by square and honorable management,
won the Illinois delegation for Grant, the half
breeds beat him out OF 1t by such shabby
trick as put them in the wrong and left Logan
ia the strong position of the injured party.
When Logan again wins the Illinois delega
ton for-John A. Logan, will the half-breeds
dare to attempt a repetition of that dirty
trick? Not much!

The editor OF the Ottawa Republican has
stirred up bit of hornets nest about his
ears for venturing the statement, which, by
the way, seems pretty we'll borne out by reports
from Washington, that "nine-tenths of the
pensioners are frauds" AS the present chief
editor of that sheet is himself pensioner on
account of wound received IN the army,
though how any injury therefrom in any way
interferes with his regular health or daily &C.

THE JEWS.

Every few years public journals throughout
America and Europe become more or less oc.
cupied with projects to re-people Palestine
with Jews. The project seems to come up
every time the Jews In any part OF the world
become the objects of special illusage, and
Just now is reviewed by the preposterous spirit
of persecution against the Jews that has
shown itself In Germany.
Influential Jewish journals, We are told,
and especially 1.-THE old and learned HANNA
Gid, the Berlin Judisc1s Presse, and the Haba-
zaleth of Jerusalem, have been especially earn
est IN advocating the idea. Strong appeals to
the Jews of Russia, Roumania, and Germany
are also made by the 'Maijasde Hayeschew,'
an association which has purchased large
plot of ground near Jaffa, and which repre-
sents the climate Of the country as healthy,
land fertile, and Arabs not 80 troublesome as
they have been reported. A successful colony
of Protestant Christians from Nuremberg
that is settled there, is pointed to as proof OF
the truth of these representations"
Through certain rosy promises Of revenues
to the porte to be derived from fourishlng
Jewish colonies in Syria, railroads and cities
to be built in their connection, &c, the sultan
Is SAID to be very favorably inclined to the
project, and expresses willingness to make
liberal grants of land i'll Palestine as well as
political privileges and immuniles, in favor OF
the colonists.
In Its best aspects, however, the project is
little else than sentimental. There is nothing
to invite extensive colonization of Jews or any
other civilized people IN Syria or Palestine.
The country, with here and there small fruit
full valley, is barren waste, surrounded by an
unruly population, destitute Of anything like
an adequate supply of water, as we'll as Of or
derby government and wise and well executed
laws. Besides, the Jews are not an agrcultu
raj people. They know nothing of cultivat
ing lands and so increasing the fruitfulness OF
the ground that two blades Of grass shall
grow where but one grew before. The perse
cuuon, outrage and robbery to which they
have been subjected for two thousand years
has made them homeless wanderers over tht

among the races of the earth. The Parthians,
Phyrgians, Cloths, Vandals, Gauls and Span
iards OF the ancient world, when wandering
from the homes of their birth into new regions,
always became merged with the new races
with which they came IN contact and lost their
racial iIstinctiveness. DO the Germans, Eng,
lish, Irish, Scotch, &C., Of the present day, in
migrating to America or other lands, become
merged with the races with which they MN
gle, and their original racial characteristics
ere lost. Not So We are told, with the Jews.
A Jew is a Jew still whether in Russia, Eng
land, France or America. But why? Because
from the day Jesus was lifted up on Calvary
the Jew has borne the mark Of Cain upon his
brow and has been the object of Christian
hatred and persecution. Stop that hatred and
persecution--remove the mark from his brow
and the Jew will lose his isolation as readily,
IN America at least, as after the second or
third generation the Irishman, Englishman
and German loses his national dlstinctiveness.
In the main it will be found the Jew Is such
perforce rather than from choice. Let Jew
become Christian, for instance, and thus re-.
move the ban that ID upon him, and how soon
he loses his racial dislinctiveness. Take the
D'Israelis of England, the Dumases of France,
and hundreds that could be named who within
q century have renowned Judaism, and who
will call them Jews now? Then there is
nothing left of Judaism but It's religion and
how closely, In this country, where their lsola-
ton and persecution on that account have
nearly ceased, think you does that adhere to
thems At best, we take 1t, on close scrutiny
majority of our American Jews will be found
but Sadducees, and large proportion even Of
them atheists. When all the people around
him come to admit that the Jew Is just as
much entitled to his religion as any other
man and Is just as good man as his neigh
Dor in spite OF it, how long, think you, will
mere religious sentiment keep Jews huddled
together as seperate group! When the enc
mics OF Judaism learn that the way to kill of
Judaism is to cease to prosecute it or even to
recognize its existence, then let the daughters
OF Zion weep for the days of Judaism are
numbered, and the time is at hand when Ju.
dab and Benjamin, like Ephriam and Dan
and NaphtalI, and the rest, will be numbered
with the lost tribes"

THE FLOODS.

The condition of affairs at Alexandra Is

On Saturday the Cross levee In the Indian
