The Rev. A. Bernstein, of the
London Jewish Society, writes from
Frankfort-on. the Main; Zone thing struck
ms very fOrcibly in all our travels-namely.
that everywhere Jews are found who are
more or less prepared to enter the Chris
tian Church, and are only waiting for some
great leader or event to give the impulse.
The Jews in Germany may be generally
compared to the generation at the time of
our Saviour. Like Pharisaim and Saddu-
ceeism then, so now the orthodox and
the reformed parties have exhausted their
forces, and as neither will give way TO the
other there is quite watching and gather.

JERRY SIMPSON WOULD SPEND THE

For tho Party of the Future to Send Rep
rescntatives to Congress-Since tho De-
feat of the Silver Bill ho Thinks They
Hold tho Balance of Power.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-"If l had a
million dollars" said Representative
Simpson of Kansas, II would use every
cent of it in helping to elect Third Party
men to congress. Mr. Simpsons regret"
that he has not a large campaign fund at
his disposal is shared by his colleagues Of
the Third Party who believe with him that
thcro is probability Of holding the bal
ance Of power in the next house. 1t is
true also that many Democrats regard
this condition of affairs as possible, espec
tally since the defeat Of the silver bill.
Even such Il conservative Democrat rs
Congressman Breckenridge of Kentucky
thinks the titles 10 many seats now held
by the Democrats are somewhat dubious
aud are only to be held by considerable
work
The Alliance mon in congress attempted
some time ago to form a congressional
campaign committee, but the effort was a
failure. The party lacks the funds and
the means to secure the funds necessary
to make a canvass in every doubtful dis
trict and is somewhat discouraged
thereby. Consequently no steps have yet
been taken toward capturing districts in
the south or west, and the fighting will be
left to the state committees. Notwith-
standing this haphazard plan, the Alliance
men feel sure that they Gill largely in
crease their representation in the house,
and it is even predicted, for instance, that
no Democrats will be returned from
Georgia except Speaker Crisp.

some Gj miles west Of Denver, the eastern
end being about Two miles from Graymont,

district.
The tunnel will be about p, 200 feet long,
about one-third Of which distance has been
driven, and work is now carried on from both
the eastern and western ends.
Yesterday carload Of ore from one OF
the mineral veins OF the tunnel tof which
