BACK TO THE HOLY LAND.
Prosecuted Russian Jews Find Refuge
and Peace in Palestine.


NEW YORK, Oct News of the oppres-
sion of the Jews in Russia has Of late burdened
the cables, and the Hebrews of this place have
been bestirring themselves to relieve Russian
Jews by sending them back to Palestine. 1t is
one OF the phases of the fulfllment of the an
cient prophecy, as many Jews believe, that in
the last days there will be a gathering of the
tribes of Israel in the Holy Land
Circulars printed in Hebrew and English and
signed by Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, Ferdinand
Levy and Rev. DR.. L. Seinser. of the Henry
street synagogue, were distributed among the
Hebrews in town yesterday setting forth rea-
sons why the Russian Hebrews should be
helped to migrate 10 the ancient home of the
race, and in response Christie street synagogue
was damned last night by representatives OF the
leading congregations of the Hebrew benevo-
lent societ ties to hear well known Jews discuss
the subject. The speakers said in substance
that for the last ten years conspicuous jews all
over the world have been convinced that the
only true solution OF the Jewish question was
emigration to Palestine Since the last Jewish
troubles in Roumania, about 1852, q movement
toward Palestine has played a most important
part in the destiny of East European Jews.
Nearly twenty colonies, with a population of
1000, have sprung up on the soil OF the Holy
Land, and 1t is said the prospects of the Jewish
settlements are most promising.
Enthusiasm in favor of the movement Is

humble, but among the wealthiest Jews in Rus
sa, Germany. England and France. The effort
to colonize Palestine has realized more than
ten-fold the benefits and advantages OF an out
lay in America. The immigration of Russian
Jews to this country has been opposed by Jews
and others in the most strenuous way recently,
and if q more hospItable and congenial place OF
refuge than this country is not found, for the
newly threatened exodus OF hundreds of thou
sands OF these unfortunate fugitives from
tyranny and persecution, these hostile voices
may grow louder, and the day may not be far
distant when this country will also have its
Jewish question"
The speakers made a strong appeal for pecu-
MARY aid. About 81 900 was subscribed at the
meeting to aid in sending the Jews in Russia to
Palestine. An appeal is also being made to
Jews all through the country

First Constitutional Assembly Of Japan
Met Nov. 80.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 19.-The steamer
Belgic has arrived from China and Japan.
The opening of the diet, the first constitu-
tional legislative body ever assembled in
Japan, took place Saturday, Nov. %. The
day was given up to celebration. The cere-
monies we're brief, the emperor delivering q
short address in which he expressed the
hope that all institutions relating TO the
internal administration of the empire would
be continued and extended in order to OBJ
tain good results from the working of the
constitution. The emperor held it essen
tial that the military and naval defenses of
the country be perfected and made the
object of gradual attainment. The only
disturbance which took place at the time of
the opening of the diet was an attack made
by students on the Russian legation. Nine.
Schevitch, wife of the Russian minister.
and the ladies of the legation, were struck
by stones thrown by students who attempt
cd to force their way into the legation.
The students were repulsed and some
twenty injured. Some persons employed
in the legation were also hurt. All the
windows of the building were smashed.
The cause Of the attack is said to be that
the emperor bowed to the ladies of the
legation.

the southern states alone for the white
man there to handle the African prob
lem. Now have been a good deal in
the south, and have mingled with It's
business and busy classes considerably.
l hardly ever see respectable white
man in the south who is republican;
and think it comes from the republi-
can party having been in the habit of
pushing the African to the front too
much and too long. It ought not to be
that we have these sectional parties;
there ought to be two political parties
OF white men in the south, and think
there would be if some of the republi-
can leaders did not keep this race ques-
ton excited. If were president OF the
United States, or {. leader of the repub-
lican party, I think l could succeed in
having some Of the southern states di-
vided. They would be much better off
with two fair parties in the field and we
should be better off if we stopped play
ing the African against the Anglo-Sax-
on. The great issue on which the re-
publican party was founded was that of
white labor, freedom in the territories,
and freedom generally; but it never was
intended by those who took charge of
the destinies Of the republican party
third OF a century ago that the African
should be the chief or only representa-
tive of that party anywhere. This the
main mistake. have very little conf
dence in the great body of the Africans
as our political rulers. Here and there
some one colored man develops qualities
like the white man, but he is Altogether
exceptional. There are not enough Of
such exceptions to demonstrate that
the African race is not an inferior race.
1t surely is inferior to our white race in
the United States
Mr.. Jay Gould is not disinterested
patriot or model citizen, but he I'M
doubtedly reflects the views of vast
number Of business men to whom politi-
cal problems are matters Of business
and not of sentiment. The detection of
such men means that the republican
party will be short of the sinews Of war
in the next campaign, unless the policy
of Benjamin HARRISON is reversed.

So Mr.. MCKINLEY isn't to be allowed
even to pose IN the cheap role of a mar.
tyr. Right after cleo ton the repubi-
can organs told us that Mckinley would
be nominated for governor of Ohio next
year as rebuke to the wicked demo
Gratis, but those ungrateful republican
politicians in Ohio refuse to follow him
into martyrdom. The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette throws out this gentle
hint for the majors benefit: ut is a
fact that, owing to the widespread mis-
representations by the democrats as to
the new tariff law, there are some re-
publicans who raise the question Of the
advisability OF nominating Mckinley,
and plead that it would be good policy
to allow the tariff law two years to vim
dictate Itself, and that in the meantime
Ohio republicans should make their
fight on state issues mainly"
Which possibly means that your un-
Gle John Sherman isn't particularly de-
sirous Of seeing the major in command
Of the Ohio forces before 1892.

THE OPPRESSION OF LABOR.

New Jersey manufacturers, who are
over protected by the Mckinley law, are
beginning to show their teeth to labor.
The Trenton potteries, which are pro-
tected by GO per cent. duty, reduced
wages last week from 10 to 40 per cent.
They told their men just before election
that the increased tariff would bring
them bigger wages, but the reverse was
the truth. In fact, the increased duty
on pottery ware has resulted in the big
gest reduction Of wages since the bust
ness became established and threw off
the apparel OF an infant industry. The
Mckinley bill has made monopoly of
the Trenton pottery trade, and has en-
abled the manufacturers to crush labor
to the earth. A strike may be avoided,
but it will only be because the opera
tives have no other course to pursue
than the acceptance of the inevitable.
The worker in crockery is a skilled OPP
erative, and can earn nothing to apeak
of in any other line. He has to take
lower wages or be entirely without work.
In the neighboring city OF Newark the
Clark thread works have cut down and
shut down. "These works, says cor
respondent OF the New York Times,
shave always furnished beautiful

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

While pride Of opinion is keeping
many republican politicians from
bowling to the popular will as ex-
pressed at the ballot box, saga
cious and far-seeing business men
of republican leanings are not so
stiff-necked but that they can acknowl-
edge party error and turn back. One
such man is the shrewd Jay Gould.
Before the late uprising Mr.. Gould is
reported to have said that working
man oughtn't to growl because he would
have to get along with one coat instead
OF two-that one coat was enough. Mr..
Gould now has greater respect for the
man who didn't share his opinion on
election day. In ar interview in the
New York Sun last Sunday when asked
to what he attributed the political rev.
olution in the west, Mr.. Gould replied:
@Because out there they have had some
bad times. The crops and weather were
against them. And then good many
of them had changed their views on
making SO much tariff. The whole
trouble was caused by congress inter
fering in the direction of more pro-
lection than was thought to be just and
fair. Our system ought to be protection

four pages, or 16S columns. Our enter

there will be some unusually strong lit.
erary papers in this number. Perhaps
the most widely read will be several
columns of slashing criticism from Gail
Hamilton's forthcoming book, ga Wash
ington Bible Glass; which is sure to
provoke comment and controversy. A
seasonable article on "Rare Christmas
Dinners" giving the menus of some OF
New York's choice feasts on that day,
will be found of interest, as also will the
papers on "John Bulls Christmas" anG
Christmas in the Navy" The ladies
