BARON lIIRscII, the great Jewish phtlan-
thropist of London and Paris, has hit
upon the right solution of the Hebrew
problem in Russia. He agrees g. trans
port 100000 Jews from Russia TO South
America and to provide the emigrants
with the means of making n start in their
new home. This is much more sensible
than railing at the Russian Government
from distance and loading the air with
empty resolutions adopted by impotent
mass-mectings. Nobody seems to know
anything positive as To the condition of
the Jews in Russia, except that they are
unhappy and unfortunate. 1t has not
been shown, thus far, that they are treated
with especial harshncss, or that their des-
titution and wretchedness are due to
causes for which the Government is re-
sponsible. Why do not the humane and
the mcrciful, then, follow the lead of
BARoN HIRscu, and adopt plan of
relief that has some sense in It?
If the Jews who are suffering hardship
in Russia could be transported to some
new and undeyeloped region in South
America, they would soon make the will
,ierncss blossom like the rose under the
impulse of their industry, and they would,
beside, present to the aborigines very
salutary and valuable example. Let us
stop Cabling about matters of which we
know nothing, and try to be practical.

Mn. PARNELL DECLARES that he has been
defeated by the improper interference of
the priests, and promises 10 continue the
fight in every nook and corner of Ireland.
For gentleman who has hitherto pro-
fessed the most unselfish devotion to the
Irish cause, and who has always claimed
that he cares for nothing except the honor
ana happiness of his country, this an
nouncement seems just little mex
plicable, Ii leaves us no alternative, in
deed save that OF concluding that Mr.
PAREEIL cares good deal less for Ireland
than he does for PARYELL, and that he
doesn't want the cause to triumph unless
he Is retained in command. 1t is clear as
the MONDAY sun that it, this Donnybrook
Fair squabble continues the success of the
Nationalist movement will be indefinitely
postponed. Not only will the organiza-
tion in Parliament lose its strength and
efficiency, but the world will withdraw its
sympathy from cause which seems to
of self.control. The question now pre-
scented to mankind IS whether the Irish
prefer Home Rule or Il Free Fight.

Miss Prudence and Miss Patience

en- sisters, who lived with their father
and mother on one OF those fine old

The English Language the
Worlds Tongue.

The fact that English is the Ian
guage used by both the internation'
III conferences which recently assem-
bied in Washington, naturally leads
to some speculations concerning the
curious progress Of the English to-
wards becoming the language OF the
future. The languagein which Shake
speare and Milton wrote was the Ian
guage Of less than 5000, 900 people,
and when Washington was President
less than 100000 used the En-
glish language. At that time French
was spoken by from 30,000,0Oo to
80, 600, 600. Halt century ago as
large proportion Of the population
OF the globe spoke German as English.
Now Germany is lar behind in this
respect. In Austria, Germany, Bel
gium, Switzerland and the United
States German is spoken by about
60, 900 people. In France, Belgium,
Alsace. Lorraine, Hayti, Algiers, In
dia, the West Indies aud Africa,
French is spoken by $4,000, 900. In
the British Isles, the United states,
Canada, Australia, the West Indies,
India, India and other British colon
les English is freely spoken by 100
100000. These figures are very sig
nificant.
