The grave discussion In the British House
Of Commons the other night Of Germany's
action in sending carrier pigeons to Dover
to see whether they would get back to Dus-
seldorf shows how sensitive the English
are on the subject Of home defence.
It recalls the fact that once. a few years
ago, when 1t was proposed to tunnel the
British Channel for transportation pur-
poses, distinguished military authorities,
among them Lord WoLsELEY himself,
gave their opinion that such tunnelling
would lessen the defensibility Of the ISL
ands, while vivid imaginations conjured
up pictures of an army OF Germans or
Frenchmen, or both, passing through this
submarine conduit and emerging to give
battle on England's soil. 1t was in vain to
represent that this implied the seizure first
of the English exit, o foreign approach to
which ought to be prevented by England's
big navy or to point out that al army in
the tunnel. unable to get out at the English
end, would be In q bad box. The project
was killed In Parliament, and England
breathed freely.

Yet the great extent to which the German

and the fact that the German War
Office is conducting them, have created
much indignation. 1t Is even reported that
the Kaiser himself own a hundred OF the

ish Under Secretary Of War, said that Ger.
many would not like to have Great Britain
take similar liberties on her soil, and that
the War Office was considering the matter.
Homing pigeons constitute a well-recog-

training them are familiar In European ar

heard that any Representatives Of the Juda-
Ism Of this country have been elected TO the
Universal Zionist Convention that Is to be
held at Munich next month. Two or three
meetings of immigrant Russian jews desir-
Gus Of the restoration Of Jerusalem have
been held In this city but they met with no
support from those Of the Jewish people
who are citizens Of the United States.

IL for granted that all the powers OF Chris

places Of Christianity to any Zionist Gov.

them which they hold even under the rule of
the Turk. The holy sepulchre is at Jerusalem.
Apart from these considerations, Pales-

Zionism, therefore, in our Judgment, is

Count okuma's Notions.

The latest news from Yokohama Is that
Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs de-
clares that she does not want trouble, but
must not recognize annexation. In this
country the sentiment Is equally strong
that we are not looking for trouble, but
Hawaii must be annexed.
We think that In the end there will
be less practical conflict between these two
ideas than may now appear. Whether Japan
recognizes annexation Is more her affair
than ours. She can consult her convenience
in that matter. The quickest and best so.
luton Of thew whole problem, however. is
to annex Hawaii at once.
Count OKUMA Is right In pointing out tho
future Importance of Hawaii as a Pacific
way station, in view of the probable compile
tion of an isthmus canal. But that Is a rea-
son why we should own the islands. The
present moment is propitious for annexing
them; a since Japan seems disposed to
put to arbitration her dispute with Hawaii,
we shall do well to take Hawaii under the
protection of the Union before any fresh
troubles arise for her.

The outlawry OF Zionism.

In decisive language. "Zionism /" has been
condemned by the Conference OF American
Rabbis. The resolution adopted at the con-
ference opens with the words "We totally
~disapprove Of any attempt to promote the
establishment of a Jewish State In Pales-
tine" The assembled rabbis were of one
mind In regard to the matter. The report
on the subject, which received their ap-
proval. declared that Zionlsm Is Infinitely
harmful to those Of our brethren living
where they are yet prosecuted, by confirming
the assertion Of their enemies that the jews
are foreigners In the countries In which
they dwell" Further along In tho report
there Is the statement ave reafhrm that
the object Of Judaism Is not political or
national, but spiritual"
Probably the anti-zionist delIverance of
the conference Is In accord with the opinion
and the sentiment of the great majority of
the Jewish people In the United States. All

For Revenue Only.

The tariff has gono of the field Of issues.
Its discussion for some years at least will
be academic purely, without thought Of
practical result. After a decade Of distress
ing worry and i~ncalculable loss, arising out
Of the folly and dishonesty of the politicians
In control of the Democratic party, we are
about to settle down to rest upon a pro-
~tective basis laid by the Republicans. Vet,
in spite of the entire Democratic campaign
and tariff bill, the only ~unflinching inter
probation Of the revenue only principle pro-
claimed in the Democratic platform Of
1892, is to be found In the speech OF the
leader of the Chicago Democracy in the
House of Representatives. the Hon. JOSEPH
W. BAILEY Of Texas, delivered as the Ding.
ley bill left the House for final adoption BY
the Senate:
~ am opposed to Republican protection BECAUSE IL
d%iscriminates between American citiIens. giving to
the one who sells an unjust advantage over tho one
who buys; AMI I an opposed to this modern theory
OF free raw materials because It discriminates again
between American citizens. giving to the one who
buys an unjust advantage over the ono who sells."
This expresses clearly the doctrine Of a
tariff for revenue only. With such q tariff
there can be no discrimination, no juggling
divisions between what should be taxed
Inc what should be free in accordance with
he Judgment Of the passing politician as
to what would be best for the majority or
minority Of the public.
1t is queer indeed that, outside Of THE
Sun, the only sound definition of the great
principle Of 1892 to rise to the surface comes
from the Popocratic leader In the House of
