Palestine for the Jews.

Tho memorial adapted by conference of
Hebrews and christians recently held in
Chicago. and presented to the President on
Thursday. asking that this government use
its influence to have PalesTire given back to
the Jews, has not yet apparently been given
great deal Of attention by the press and
people. There is not much doubt, however,
that it will be generally discussed soon, and
it is not improbable that it will mark the
beginning of a movement that will result in
opening way for the oppressed Jews of
Russia to find homes in the land of their
ancestors.
There are many influential christians and
Jews interested in the object of the memo
rial and they will not be satisfied with what
they have already done. They believe that
they see how the Jews of Russia can be re-
leased from their unhappy condition, and
they will not cease their efforts as long as
there is any hope for success.
The Jews of Russia are immigrating to
| this country in large numbers, and they are
| showing themselves to be a sober, indus
trious and thrifty people. They are adapt
ing themselves to the new conditions here
WIN hdDAc 4ulChu6SSs NdTH manly Ol
them are farmers and mechanics. and all of
them soon discover the means of making a
living.
If the Russian Jews should go to Pales-
tine instead of coming here they would
| quickly effect wonderful changes in that
country. They would make it as productive
and rich, probably, as it ever was. 1t would
take long time, OF course, to do that, but
they are persistent and patient and would
willingly work and wait if they saw any
| brightness in the future.
Their condition in Russia is almost in
| tolerable. And the worst of it is, it is be-
coming worse instead of better. The laws
which are SO oppressive to Thorn are APP
proved By the Russians. Indeed, the
Russians would applaud the car if he were
to make the laws relating to the Jews even
more oppressive.
The Jews, therefore, see that they must
leave Russia. They would leave at once if
the way was open for them to do so. 1t
may be in the power of this government to
do something that will lead to the opening
of the way. Secretary Blaine is man of
many resources, and he may give the
memorial which has been presented to the
President very earnest consideration.

clevsland's Popularity.

/ Those who think that MIR. Cleveland's
/ popularity is on the Wane are pretty certain
/ 70 find that they are mistaken. Since he
/ wrote his letter against the free coinage of
| silver many Of the republican newspapers,
and not few of the democratic ones, have
been trying to create the impression that he
no longer has chance for being nominated
| by his party for President in 1892 And a
good many democratic politicians who are
hostile TO him have expressed the same
/ opinion.
But Notwithstanding the opinions of
these newspapers and politicians, Mr.. Cleve-
land continues to be the choice Of the great
majority of the democracy for President!
In our dispatches yesterday there was a
statement Of poll of the legislature of In
diana on tie question of Presidential candi-
dates. Mr.. Cleveland secured so votes, Mr..
Gray &c, Gov. Hill Z, Dir. Palmer z, Senator
voorhees, 4, Senator Villas l and Senator
Turpie l. In connection with this showing
it must not be forgotten that Indiana is a
western state and that Mr.. Gray is one of
the most popular men in that state.
It has been said that all the western states
are so strongly in favor of the free coinage
of silver that the democrats of no one of
them would think of demanding the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Cleveland, and yet the Indiana
legislature is overwhelmingly in favor of
| him. Indeed, if Mr.. Gray were not an In
diana man it is probable that the democrats
of the legislature would have voted almost
unanimously for Mr. Cleveland.
This vote shows how little hold Gov. Hill
has upon the western people. Indeed. it is
not unjust to him to assume that he is not
in the race for the presidential nomination
OF the Democratic party. Within six
months he viii hardly be heard of in Goa
nection with the nomination.
Even Mr.. Cleveland's political enemies
| were compelled TO admit that the publica-
ton Of his views relative to the free silver
coinage question was a courageous and
manly act, and the people like an honest,
straightforward man. The great majority
| OF those democrats who do not agree with
him in his views on silver would much
rather see him President than any other
democrat. 1t looks now, as it has looked
for months, as IL Mr.. Cleveland would be
the next presidential candidate of the
Democratic parky

Col. Hardeman's Death.

In the death of Col. Thomas Hardeman
at Macon yesterday Georgia lost a distin-
guished citizen.
Col. Hardeman was a notable figure in
public life for many years. He was good
soldier when soldiers were needed, prom
inent figure in politics when Georgia re-
qutred the services of the best and nobless
of her sons, and q sincere and earnest friend
of all to whom he gave his friendship, and
they were many.
He was a man with clean hands and clean
heart-one Of natures noblemen. His death
will bring profound sorrow to many hearts,
for he was respected and loved wherever
he was known.

Frightened a Tyrant.

Prince Bismarck is credited with the story
that when the welknown African traveller Dr.
Robert Fekin, was staying with the blood
thirsty King Mtesa OF Uganda many years ago
the king, out OF gratitude for his Visitors medi-
cal treatment, wished TO cut off his head says
the London STANDARD.
On DR.. Felkin representing that the treat
ment was not flnished, and that if interrupted
IL would cause Mtesa's death, the latter granted
him a reprieve until he was quite recovered.
Then, however, nothing awaited, and the execu-
ton was determined upon. Emin Pasha, who
was friend of DR.. Felkin, had instructed him
most accurately about the state of affairs in
Uganda and the court of King Mtesa, and had
revealed to him important state secret
namely, where Mtesa's powder store was hid
den.
DR.. Felkin remembered this at the right mo-
ment, and as a last resort threatened that if
Mtesa killed him he would bring down flash of
! ghtning upon his powder store. Mtesa replied
incredulously:
Tell me where it is"
DR.. Felkin whispered In his ear:
1T is concealed under your harem."
Mtesa turned pale, and allowed Felkin and his
companion to live. The light ing makers
authority increased when next day a fash of
lightning happened to strike near the harem.

The Circuit courts of Appeal.

The law creating the circuit courts of
appeal for the relief of the supreme court
provides that the courts shall organize June
l6, or that, failing to organize at that time,
they shall organize on a subsequent day
fixed by the chief justice of the supreme
court or one of the associate Justices.
Congress has adjourned and no one Of the
circuit judges for which the law provides
has been appointed. The question whether
the circuit courts of appeal can organize
before the new judges have been confirmed
by the Senate has been raised. The opinion
has been expressed that they cannot. 1t NAV
be that the opinion is not a sound one. 1t is
certain that no one would undertake to dis
charge the duties of justice of the
supreme court until his nomination to that
position had been confirmed by the Senate.
The position of a circuit judge is very
important one-more important now than
it was before the supreme court relief bill
was passed-and n reasonable conclusion is
that If the nomination of a supreme court
justice must be confirmed before the ap-
pointee can take his place on the bench, the
nomination of circuit judge must be con-
hrmed also before he eau undertake to dis
charge the duties of his office.
If the nominations of the new circuit
judges must be confirmed before they can
act the circuit courts of appeal cannot or
ganize until next winter, unless the Senate
should be called together in extra session
and the new judges nominated and con-
firmed.
There appears to have been quite a num-
Der of blunders in connection with the
supreme court relief bill. The bill did not
pass until the last days of February, and
yet it provided that the new courts should
organize Jan. IL last. Another provision
of the bill took from the supreme court
and the circuit courts all jurisdiction of the
civil cases now on their dockets. Both
| de fects we're discovered before congress adj
journed. and were cured by the passage of a
| joint resolution.
The mistakes made in this bill show the
carelessness of Lawmakers, and how great
the evils of hasty legislation are. Congress
has been discussing measures for the relief
of the supreme court for many years, and it
finally passed bill that was SO defective
that it had to be amended within day
after it became a law. And there is still a
question whether the law is not sufficiently
defective TO prevent it from becoming oper-
ative until there has been further action by
| congress.

Ee Saw Six Chinese Lose Their Heads

- = saw OLA Ou4uS50 bOb0 ID6lE a0aOS.
J. Crawford Lyon has recently returned from
China and Japan, says the Baltimore american,
and talks in an interesting way of matters in
those lands. The most horrible thing he saw in
China was an execution. in which fifteen
human heads were Topped off in as many min
utes.
Once. about noon, on what in America would
De spring morning, a number of juuks
arrived in Kowloon bay and the mandarins in
command visited HIP Toi, the governor. AS
result Of their interview. the latter official
quickly called out his ragged army, who soon
lined the ill-smeling beach. Shortly the OBJ
gect Of the turnout became apparent by several
boats pulling off from one of the junks with
scores of soldiers guarding six dirty. unshaven
wretches in baskets, bound for execution. All
looked elnacated to the last degree, but none
appeared to have been dosed with opium, as is
sometimes done in such cases. Their queues
were braided with strips Of white cotton, upon
which were written their names and their
crimes. The executioners-two fellows wear
ing white Jackets and straw hats around the
latter OF which were braided their queues to
keep their hats from blowing off-had been
waiting on the beach for an hour or more,
handing their swords around to be examined by
the crowd, an inspection which evoked frequent
| 5ests. When the victims we're seen approach
ing the weapons were gripped and ready for
action.
The prisoners were placed in two lines Just
sbSve the high-water mark. Each of the line
| OF victims was assigned to one of the execu-
tioners who made ready by removing his
broad -nrimmed hat. The first head few off
Like lightning. Either the first blow weakened
the arms Of the man swinging the sword, or
| else the neck of the second man was thicker
| and tougher than that of his predecessor, for
~hen the blow fell upon the neck of the second
man the head still hung on, the man falling on
his face.
The swordsman passed on, Topped off the
head Of the third, and then returned to the
second man Lifting the partly severed head
BY the queue he began to saw at the throat
| When the executioner had carved all around
| the neck. he caught hold of the mans queue
| and struck the neck repeatedly, and the head
| flew off. The prisoners In the second line who
had Witnessed the horrible scene, were then
| dealt with by the executioner after the same
| fashion The first and third were decapitated
expeditiousy, but the second required two
| strokes.

Latest Plan to Secure an Audience,

The want to see the lady of the house"
dodge has been discarded by fakirs book
agents, collectors and other door-be ringers of
private houses for a newer and better method
says the Yonkers Stat esDldn.
They now lex out route and learn the names
of the occupants of the most desirable-lookin9
houses. They then ring the bell and whom the
servant comes to the door inquire IL Mrs, Blank
is in If she is, the bell-ringer presents q neat
card containing his or her name, and patroniz-
1ngly says; Present this card, viii wait"
That this new form Of annoyance is more ex-
asperating than the old one is explained BY the
fact that it not only secures an audience with
the lady of the house." but frequently COM
pels the lady of the house" to undergo the
tedious process of making her toilet in order to
receive the visitor, whose identity she cannot
suspect, and whom she cannot refuse to see for
fear she may be guilty of breach of etiquette.
