One like a lily, tall and fair
One brilliant with her raven hair,
One sweet and shy of speech.

Sand for wealth and courtly life"

Three women sat with whitening hair,
Still graceful, lovable and fair,
And told their destiny,
Fame is not all, the lily sighed.

Those OF the Russian-Jewish immiprants

Those OF the Russian-Jewish immigrants
now in this city who desire to get back to Rus
STA will be unable to do so. The Russian Gov
eminent recently issued an order that those
Of its Jewish subjects who left the country
would not be permitted to return. This order
has already been enforced In number OF in
stances by the military police upon the west
ern frontier OF Russia.
There is no doubt that, for ono reason or
another. the Gar is exceedingly DESTROYS
OF excluding the jewish people from his
empire. Tho exodus OF the past few
years has but slightly reduced tho number
OF them there. lie has still six or seven
millions Of them to deal with. and they are
an important element OF the population.
Tho Jews are strong race; they have held
their ground in tho world since tho days of
ABRAHAM; they ara more numerous ut the
close OF the nineteenth century than they ever
were at any previous period OF their history.
They live under hundred flags. representing
all forms OF government. and are powerful
wherever they live.
Tho Russian consulate in this city has
given notice that it cannot MD those OF the
Russian Jewish immigrants who desire to
return to the country OF their birth. Our own
advices are that very. very few OF them desire
to return and wa are assured that there have
been less than a score of them in any "crowd"
Of applicants yet seen ut the consulate.

Good Will Toward Mexico.

Tie United States Senate has Just per-
formed two acts OF conspicuous courtesy to-
ward the republic beyond the Rio Grande.
By a unanimous vote It has adopted n
resolution requesting the President to re-
turn to the Mexican Government twenty
ono battle flags captured by our troops In
the war Of 1916 and 1847. and now preserved
ut West Point. Tho net OF 1914 provides
that the Secretary OF War shall from
time to times cause to be collected and
transmitted to him, at the seat OF govern
mont, all such flags. standards. and colors
~ are taken by the army from enemies OF
the United States" But tho subsequent
disposition Of these trophies is in the hands
Of Congress. and the Sennte's resolution in
regard to tho Mexican flags which havo
lohg been stored on exhibition Mt the Mill
tAry Academy, is generous courtesy to u
friendly neighbor.
b Tho other act was tho adoption OF an adj
verse report from the Committee on For
! eign Relations upon n resolution request
ing 1t to inquire whether 1t was practicable
20 enter into negotiations with Mexico for
acquiring certain portion OF her territory.
Tho Foreign Affairs Committee did not
pigeonhole this resolution. allowing 1t to
lUcCOIuO luUpctullNo htENSt. ~
: took tho wiser course OF reporting against
the proposal. and thereupon tho Senate in
definitely postponed 1t.
This course is in accordance with the
oct OF the Senate two years ago. when
tho Legislature OF Arizona requested
similar negotiations for tho much more
limited purpose Of securing a deep
water port upon the Gulf of California.
The advantage Of n Pacific outlet for
the products OF Arizona being evident
But Mr.. BLAINE. on being applied to by
Senator SHERMAN for his opinion upon this
subject. declared that no held unhesitat-
ingly that tho Government Of the United
States is prccluded by obligations OF tradi-
tional good faith from approaching tho
Government Of Mexico with n view to ac-
quiring any part of the Mexican territory"
Thereupon the committee asked the Senate
70 discharge it from any further considera-
ton OF the memorial.
The Government and people OF Mexico
will appreciate the feeling which has caused
this decision to be repeated in the present
Congress. What the Senate has done Is not
to discuss whether it Is expedient to ask tho
southern republic If it has any territory to
sell: but to declare that the subject is not
one for the Foreign Affairs Committee to
consider. This is recognition OF tho re-
spect due to the Mexican Constitution,
which forbids the cession Of Mexican soil
The vote Of the Senate on these two res
olutions comes at n good time. since Gaia
RINo GARzA's organization OF raiding par
ties on our soil. for operations in Mexico. has
givcn rise to various rumors Of his having
hackers in this country. Tho vigor with
which Gen. STANLEY has hunted for the out
law and his followers on our side OF the Rio
Grande, shows tho determination Of tho
Government not to permit our neutrality
laws to be violated through any negligence
ON our part to the detriment of Mexico.

According to a recent cable despatch In
THE Sun. the Partisan horseflesh Gators are
growing over the high price and insufficient
supply of that kind Of animal food. There is
no doubt that very large quantities of 1t,
salted and packed. or made into sausages,
could be procured from the Three Americas
at II reasonable price if the French Govern
ment favored its importation. for it is of hardly
any value in some OF tho regions lying between
Patagonia and Labrador. There Is n heavy
demand for it now in Paris. Last year the
people OF that city devoured as many as II, Dol
horses. besides 220 donkeys and ~ mules,
the meat Of all of which. according to the
official returns. weighed 1915 tons. The
price OF common cuts OF 1t, at the 100 stalls
where 1t is sold. varied from four to six cents a
pound. but superior steaks brought as high as
twenty cents u pound. All OF the meat had to
DO inspected carefully before it was exposed
for sale. and 4O2 of the dead horses of Paris
were destroyed as unfit for food.
The French scientific authorities do not con-
denim the use Of horseiiesh as an article OF
diet. 1t is certainly better for its consumers
to get that kind Of meat than no meat at all
1t is served at some restaurants in which cpl
cureans take their meals. and it can be found
at some that are freluented by Americans.
Horschesh Is eaten in European cities other
than Paris. There has been n large amount OF
1t consumed in Russia by tho peasantry dur
ing the famine.
There are cannibals in Africa. snake Gators
in Asia. horse caters in. Europe. but In this
blessed land we have an abundant supply OF
horned cattle for all the needs Of the people.

the homo rule movement--most OF the pro-
moters OF the Irish Parliamentary Fund In
New York belong to this category-can
send their contributions To the Executive
Committee Of the McCarthyite party. They
can couple their subscriptions with pro-
viso that they are not to be used in any
Irish borough or county where McCarthyite
and Pnrnellite candidates arc running
against each other. corresponding course
can be pursued by such American citizens
as sympnthize with the Irish members that
adhered to Mr.. PARNELI and who at present
follow Mr.. JOHN f. REDMoND's banner.
II such obvious and perfectly feasible
precautions were taken. not dollar for
warded from America would DO thrown
away In faction fights. On tho contrary.
the two factions would be forced by the
very nature OF the pressure exertcd from
this country to accept u reasonable com
promise whereby the Metaphysics would
be safeguarded against Nationalist opposi-
tion in a large majority Of tho elghty-five
Irish seats. while minority OF those seats
might be freely conceded to Mr.. REDMOND
and his partisans. 1t Is absurd to suppose
that any Irish Nationalist. whether he may
happen to call himself McCarthyite or Par
offers self-government to Ireland. 1t Is
therefore matter Of quite secondary i'm
portance whether Mr.. REDMOND and some
OF his colleagues shall or shall not obtain
seats in the next House of Commons. The
vital. paramount question Is whether the
Nationalists as n body shall keep the eighty
five Irish seats which they now occupy. or
whether they shall be robbed OF a large part
OF them through sheer inability to defray
the statutory costs. The Irish Unionists.
on their side. will draw funds in supertluity
from their sympathzers in the ranks Of the
British arlstocracy. They have proclaimed
n resolution to contest every seat in Ire-
land. and they know well that in every
borough and county where n Nationalist
candidate Is unable to deposit In advance
the sum required by law. his Tory opponent
will be returned without opposition.
This Is no time to revamp outworn con-
troversies. or emphasize the points Of di-
vergence between Mr.. MCCARTHY, Mr.. SEX
TON. and Mr.. HEALY on the one hand and
Mr.. REDMOND on the other. He who dis
likes tho leaders of either faction more
than he desires the triumph OF homo rule
can be no true friend Of Ireland. There is
no semblance of excuse for the torpor in
which 1rish-Americans seem plunged ut an
hour when the fate Of their native land may
hinge on their devotion and their prompti-
tude. L. 1t possible that they mean to re-

Let Humbug Stop.

How facilitating to the intellectuals is
the cult Of the Claimant can be seen when
SO serious and able n journal US the Kansas
City Times. emits so witless a reflection rs
this which we quote from its columns:
"DAv1p r. HILL felt the power of reaction when tho
prestige of his successful administration as Governor
fell before the discomfort caused his cali Fcbru
AIRY Convention"
Our esteemed contemporary has not yet
recovered from tho Mugwumpish iiimsincss
of judgment and feeling which has enabled
IL to 1.-Two happy in its long-chcrshed atmos-
phere OF delusion and humbug. The dis
content which has obscurcd its perception
of Senator HILLS great service to the DEM
ocratic party. is the same which has at
tended his entire career in the politics OF
New York. and his uninterrupted rise to
party leadership. In the face OF it the
Democracy here has grown great and at
last supreme.
Tho only way at this juncture for Senator
HILL to lose before Democrats the prestige
gained in his seven years Of triumphant
success. would have been to fail them in
precisely the manner which would have
been most delightful to the inveterate anti
Democrats the Mugwumps. It would have
been to shrink from the leaders duty and to
suffer perhaps an irreparable injury to the
Democratic party by permitting delegates to
the National Convention to be selected
in the delusion that the Empire State the
decisive battle ground of this coming fall.
was Mugwump and not Democratic. II
under the circumstances he had agreed in
permitting New York's voice to remain
silent for day later than was necessary.
he would have shown himself to be COM
mander both weak and worthless.
Happily the time for New York to tell
the truth is at hand. in good season to en-
able such an important deliverance to be of
what help it may to tho national Dcmoc-
racy. In this case. as in others well-nigh
innumerable. Senator HILL has stood as tho
true and unbeatable champion Of his party's
interests: and it honors him with It's appro-
ciative admiration and trusts in his future
guidance. There is neither fear nor nom
sense about HILL. and our esteemed con-
temporary OF Kansas City. when 1t finally
reaches realization Of the fact. will never
forget 1t.
