Nearly three months ago Baron DE H1RscH
made 1t known that the fund which he had es.
tablished for tho relief OF impoverished Rus
sian Hebrews would be used In sending them
to the Argentine Republic. Thus far. however.
We have heard OF but very few Of them going 10
that country. while within the same time very
large numbers OF them have como TO tho
United States. They prefer this country 10
any other in the world. They have heard OF
tho SUCCESS OF many OF the Hebrews who live
here. They know that We have n stable and
peaceful Government. which cannot be found in
any par. OF South America They are aware
that here they will possess all the rights Of
citizenship and have the opportunity Of using
ia that they desire to come to this country
Hence 1t Is that Baron DE HrRscHs Argentine
project has not been acceptable to them.
few hundreds OF the Russian Hebrews
have gone to Brazil. but they have not found
it's hot climate to their liking. and they have
not seen there the opportunities OF success in
life. and they have not been welcomed by tho
Brazilian people. Consequently we have heard
OF several parties OF them leaving that country
in search OF some other that might suit them
better. We have lately learned that Hebrew
agents were trying TO negotiate with the Next
can Government for tho set,emont Of Russian
Hohrew colonies in the thinly populated States
OF western Mexico: but the results have not
been satisfactory, ana 1t Ia doubtful whether any
considerable number OF Hebrews could be in
duced to go there. or stay there. as long as
they can come freely to tho United States.

A Successful Minister Abroad.

When tho Hon. WHITEIAw REID returns
to us after his accomplished term OF service
near the Government OF tho French repub.
lie, he will DO entitled to such n laurel rs sell
dom has graced tho brow OF any American
diplomatist.
When Mr.. REID went to France 1t seemed
impossible that any improvement In tho
regulations that govern the vast trade be-
tween tho two countries could be brought
about by any diplomatic exortion. Espe-
cialy was this the case with nll tho forms
OF pork. an article which plays so I'M
portant n part In the production OF
our Western agricultural States. The
admission OF American pork into France
was prohibited, and French farmers and
Government contractors were united in
maintaining the prohibition. MIR. REID has
succeeded, however. in having 1t removed.
and tho markets OF that country are hence
forth to be opened to us. This event prom
Uses to make very great addition to the
Gales of American provisions in Europe.
1t Is seldom that an American Minister
abroad is able to achieve so important a
benefit for his country. Mr.. REID is to be
congratulated upon the wisdom, tact and
perseverance with which he has carried
through most important negotiation; and
when he returns to us-and we trust his re-
turn may not be too long postponed-he
will be welcomed by his countrymen with o
cordiality worthy Of his services.

Tho Altruism of Benjamin Harrison.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Indian

Hon. BENJAMIN HARRISON. allows us to SEQ

intimate and confidential view reveals that
"while 1t cannot be truthfully said that he is
partisan President. lie Is still as much of IL
Republican as ever" We don't know how
much OF partisan President must DO to
be considered partisan President in Indian
apolis, but Gen. HARRIsoN's craftsmanship
would satisfy any quantitative test. and its
quality would seem to be sufficiently search
ing; and there can be no doubt that he IL as
much OF Republican as he ever was. 1t

that he Is not as hasuy aud censorious

not working for himself but for his party,
and IL will be nothing to him II BLAINE or
ALaEn eat the fruit OF his iabors. The Journal
relates an anecdotc which shows the one fear
and preoccupntion OF the Presidents mind:

to ride the Capitol with Democrat This was his
way saying thai the success OF tho Republican party
WAS matter OF far more Importance and an object
that much his heart than the success OF any
individual or even his own denomination"
We hope that Gen. HARRISON will not
dwell too much upon the prospect Of driving
to the Capitol with Democrat on March 4.
1893. Melnncholia might result from too
close attention to tho possibility OF this
dreadful event. Yet IL worst comes to
worst. and 1t is fatcd that q Democrat shall
be his carriage companion on that day, Gen.
HARRISON will havo no great cause to re-
proach himself. Tho Billion Congress was
not his work. II disaster comes to his party,
tho greater part of the responsibility should
not be charged to him. This thought may
solace him should tho drive to tho Capitol DO
snddcned by the presence OF Democrat In
the carriage. Moreover. the thought that ho
has not been working for himself, but for
the success of his party will servo to warm
him up. Many skeptics will continue TO be-
lieve that rcnomiIation has n joyful sound
