BARON HIRscH,s IDEA,

Baron Hirsch's idea that the expulsion
of the Hebrews from Russia may be a
benefit is unique but not altogether un-
founded. Undoubtedly much misery has
been endured by these unfortunate peo-
pie, and in the end their expulsion may
mean peace and comfort. But whether
the peace and comfort will come to those
who were forcibly cast out is question
Their children and children's children,
vino will know nothing of their fathers
actual sufferings, will probably be satisfied
with the country in which they may be
born, but the Hebrews who are natives of
Russia will hardly forget the land from
which they were elected. One of the
strongest and deepest rooted passions in
the human breast is love of native country,
and whether one leaves it voluntarily or is
forced into exile there is always a tender
spot in the heart for it.
Aside from sentiment, it is easy to per-
ceive that Baron Hirsch has much to COM
mend his idea. Away from persecution,
the character of these Hebrews will ex-
pand, independence will take the place of
cringing fear, and Russia will be the,only
real loser by her short-sighted policy So
it will be with those expelled from Corfu
or from any other country in which an
anti-Hebrew sentiment may spring up. In
this country, where race or religious preju-
