AMERICAN jews.
A Declaration of Patriotism
from a Well Known Rabbi.
Jews in Religion, Americans in
Nationality.

No Such Thing as n Jewish Nation or {
Hebrew PeoPle-The Influx of Russian
Jews Threatens Judaism in Its Rela
tiou to Our Great Republic-NO Clan
ming should BE Permitted.
WASHINGTON, July II. - Rev. DR.
Phillipson. of Cincinnati, at the con fer.
ence of the American rabbis just closed
in Baltimore, delivered an address
against allowing any considerations OF
race or religion to interfere with the
performance of the duties and the ac-
acknowledgement of the obligations of a
common citizenship. Following are
brief extracts:
"We are Americans and Jews-Amer-
leans in nationality, Jews in religion.
Our aim is to see that the two shall
never come to conflict each has its own
field, and each must attend to its own.
There is no such thing as Jewish ma
ton or a Hebrew people. The Jewish
nation ceased to exist 300 years ago.
We are Jews in religion only. Jew,
therefore, is the proper name to be ap-
piled to us. Israelite is a misnomer,
DtCduSS tudJ ID LIl0 udluC VI hu duCAcut
nation that exists no more"
Care Should be Taken.
Discussing the facts of recent immi-
grafton and the question as to how for
eign immigrants best become good citi-
zens, he goes on to say:
''The great immigration of Jews into
this country at present caused by the ex-
pulsions from Russia carry with them
a great danger Of Judaism in its rela-
tion to the republic, unless proper steps
are at once taken. These people, as is
the case in New York, are apt to settle
together in districts, and foreign ele-
ment is likely to grow up not insimpathy
with republican institutions nor under
standing republican ideas. Now, Juda-
ism wants no little Russia, no little Po-
land, no little Austria, no nationality
whatsoever except Americans, and the
trustees of the Hirsch fund should feel
that they were actuated by the true
American spirit when, in founding
schools for the children of people, they
express their intention of keeping them
together in the same school only so long
as was necessary for them to learn the
English language, and then send them
to the public schools to mingle with all
other children" :"

DISSATISFIED RUSSIAN JEWS.

Many Express Desire to Return to Their
Native Country.
New YORK, July 11.-A. E. Oelravosky,
the consul general of Russia, called upon
General O'Beirne, of the emigrant board,
and requested numerical list of the
Russian Jews who have emigrated to the
United States since Jan. /, 1891. He said
he had received numerous applications
from the Russian Jews for means of
transportation to return to their native
country and for restoration of their
rights there. He gave no reason
for such action on the part Of the
Russians dissatisfied with this coun-
try and by his silence has left
a wide field of conjecture. 1t is the
prevailing impression that the dissatis-
faction arises because of unperformed
promises on the part of those in the
United States assisting their Russian
Hebrew brothers in emigrating. Inter
esting developments are expected on the
subject. The consul general refused to
speak about the matter.

COTTON CROP REPORT.
The General Average for the Cotton Bel
Below the Average.

The General Average for the Cotton Belt
Below the Average.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE following
is the July cotton crop report
The general average for the whole
breadth has advanced three points, stand
ing at SS.6. This is three points below
the July return of last year, and one
above that of 1889. In but four seasons
since 1881, have the July returns been 30
low.
The returns of condition by states are
as follows: Virginia 50, North Carolina
n, South Carolina 80, Georgia 85, Flor
ida "a, Alabama 81, Mississippi 81,
Louisiana so, Texas So, Arkansas 83,
Tennessee SO.
We bank heavily on our cotton crop.
More than upon any other one product
we depend upon our cotton for ready
money. In 1890, for instance, we sold
the rest of the world $3.50, ,O00. 900 worth
of cotton, $l36, 100000 Of meats, $102,-
100000 of wheat and flour, $42, ,000,-
900 of Indian corn and $5i 900, 900 of
petroleum. So that cotton is our great
est export, and corn in the grain or in
meat the second.
There is likelihood of big sales of
wheat, corn and meats this year, and it
is pleasant to know also that we are
likely to have a good cotton crop to sell,
even if it be not the greatest one in our
history,
When the war began 1s60) we raised
1869, ITO bales of cotton. After it ended
1866 we raised only 2,193, ,981 bales. 1t
was prophesied that, the slaves having
been freed, our cotton product would
lessen. Instead it has increased right
along until last year $500 we raised the
biggest cotton crop Of our history, 7,313,-
726 bales.
1t will be noticed that the above dis
patch makes the cotton average one
point above that of 1889. In that year
we raised 6,935, ,082 bales. Hence, the
prospect is that we shall not have less
than 1000, 900 bales this year.

AFRAID OF THE PUBLIC.
The TllIman-Terren Debate to he Held
In Secret.


CHARLESTON, July 11.-PresidentJ. w.
Stokes, of the South Carolina Farmers
Alliance, has issued his ultimatum in re-
gard to the joint debate on the sub-treas-
ury question between Governor Tillman
and National Alliance Lecturer Terrell.
His decision that the debate should be-
held in secret session at the meeting Of
the state alliance is a great disappoint-
ment to non-Alliance men, and very par
ticularly 80 to Governor Tillman.
As the sub-treasury question is one in
which the public generally is interested,
Tillman's friends say that the debate
should be open, and they consider the
proclamation of President Stokes as a
partial back down ON the part of Lee
turer Terrell in advance. Governor
Tillman will be at a great disadvantage
before the state Alliance, as he will be
addressing body in secret session which
is, to begin with, hostile to him.
