RELIGIOUS COMMENTS.

The Zionist movement is arousing much
feeling among the Jews. Friends are
growing in numbers. but opponents are
growing more bitter. 1t can hardly he
gainsaid that the most influential Jews
in America are opposed to it. A Zionist
convention has been called Tor May &c
and H. but the city has not been decided
upon. The movement on this side Of the
Atlantic Is rather 4 sympathetic than a
propagating one. The first great meeting
was held last year in Basic, Switzerland.
and most Of the cost Of il was paid by
Baron Edmond de Rothschild. who is
trying in this way to help the Jews. az
did Baron de Hirsch. along charitable
and relief lines. Baron de Hirsch has had
experiments in horticulture made In the
Holy Land. and claims to have demon
strated that there is opening there for all
poor Jews the world over. The political
aspect of the case meets the strongest
opposition here as il Europe. The pur-
pose of the convention in May is to bring
together such friends of the movement as
there are in this country. and to select
delegates who shall attend the second
worlds congress OF ZlonistS, to be held
in Basic in August. Those who are in
favor of the movement claim that jew
ish state can be set up in Palestine. to
which poor Jews in every part of the
world. especially from Russia and Aus
tria can be sent, and that their success
as hortiCulturists can be assured by
Jews everywhere purchasing their olives
and other products. It is a scheme in
velving some business. some politics
some philanthropy and a good deal OF
racial sentiment.

There is marked tendency just now
among Congregati1nalsts TO improve
upon their order OF public worship. A
large meeting Of Congregational minis
ters of New York and vicinity has just
been held, when an address was made
by the secretary of the American Bible
Society. In that address and in the dis
cussion which followed, the plan was
warmly approved of elevating the COM
munion table to the same level as the
pulpit instead of Gas now In most
churches of the denomination) letting it
stand below and secondary, The word
collection was objected to and ''offer-
tory" favored. AMI it was recommended
that it be made part of the worship.
The so-called gospel hymns were
strongly condemned as being bad music
and worse literature. The practice OF
having a hymn at the close of the service,
during which as one man said. the con-
yregation put on wraps, was disap-
proved. and prayer favored for the close.
The growth of a liturgy among Con-
gregationalists has been marked during
the past few years, especially in cities.
and in the address referred TO DIR. Gil
man even suggested the adoption of q
book of common prayer. saying 1t is pos
sible for Congregationalists to do so and
vet not become Episcopalians. The
change in sentiment is shown by the
fact that the suggestions were warmly
received.

The Disciples of Christ have started 2
very important forward movement III
connection with their Bible school work
Their new advisory board begins by max,
ing a plea for a better Sunday school
lesson series, and recommends normal
methods and attendance upon Institutes
In order to emphasize the Bible, and not
the day on which the school Is held. the
Disciples insist upon the name BlDie
school There is now national depart
ment of such schools, and this new adj
visory board sets out to elevate the
standard of Bible school work; to get
more statistics; to see that Disciples are
represented in conventions; uniformity in
school methods; and. If possible, secure
a better series of Bible lessons. This
movement was started by the last
national convention of the Disciples. Ne
attempt is to be made to dictate in any
way to any State organization, but Bib'e
instruction is sought TO be put on 4
better basis.

the international committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association has absorbed
many lesser organizations. The latter
have not sunk their identity. but have
surrendered their separate existences
into a grand federation, composed of al
most every evangelizing agency in Ameri-
ca. The central international committee
has members in every civilized land. and
its headquarters are in Geneva. Switzer-
land. This year there is to be a great
exodus of Christian workers belonging to
these anlalgamated interests. These
workers go to Basic. where. July 6 to 10.

Christian Association has now come &c

vided, and young people from every part
Of the United States and Canada are pre-
pairing to go in great numbers.

The American Bible Society has just
received reports from Mexico which seem
10 show that in that country there Is an
effort. even If small. toward the simple
religion of the New Testament. 1t may
not be generally known that the Bible
IS forbidden to be owned or read by the
common people owing allegiance to the
national church. As consequence,
many poor people there make startling
sacrifices TO obtain New Testaments. If
they have no money they offer rosary.

spite of ecclesiastical requirements
Bibles are circulated in Mexico. no few
er than twenty-five colporteurs being en-
gagged 10 distribute them. The number
of Bibles distributed last year reached
nearly 25.000. and contributions from Mex
lean churches for Bible work are more
than ever before.

good, 1t picks up a paragraph from an
official report made by the late Captain
Nordstrom as Indian agent on the con-
ditions Of some Pueblo Indians, that APP
peared in the report, and charges the
governor with all sorts of crimes and
misdemeanorS, because this paragraph
was published in some of the volumes
and taken out in others. The item, OF
itself, was simply Captain Nordstrom's
personal opinion and is certainly not
worthy of earnest consideration or at
tentlon by sensible men. Indeed our
esteemed contemporary is very hard up
for campaign ammunition when 1t
stoops to publishing what it did.
No doubt, it pleased itself and its owner,
Mr.. A. A. Grant and Il few Democratic
politicians, but as far as injuring any
one. Governor Otero or the Republican
party, it missed the mark, just about as
far as Admirals Montejo and Cervera
missed licking the American fleets.

1t is deplorable that the penitentiary
management did not furnish sufficient
convict labor for the rebuilding of the
territorial capitol, so that the building
might have been completed and ready
for occupancy and use by the 33d legis-
lative assembly, that meets this winter.
The completion of the building is a most
important matter and should have been
pushed with all means in possession of
the territory. 1t looks as If it would
have been possible to spare more labor
from the routine work in the peniten-
tiary and use it on capitol building con-
struction. But this was not done and it
is rather late in the day now 1t appears
now as If the United States will have to
provide temporary quarters for the COM
ing session Of New Mexico's legislative
assembly.

Nickel and Cobalt For Ships.

Every battleship made in the United
States must draw upon Missouri for part
of its material. Down In Madison ooun-
ty is the famous mine Lalnotte, which
furnishes nickel and cobalt necessary In
tho construction Of the modern ironolad
vessel. There are no other nickel and co.
bait bearing mines in this country in oper-
etion.
Mine Lamotte is said to be the oldest
mine in the United States. For over a
century 1t has beer turning out about the
same amount Of mineral. When 1t was
first opened, what ia now the state of Mis-
souri, was then a Spanish possession. 1t

Two Men Of the Hour.

From time immemorable war has fur
nished the opportunity for men to rise
to greatness and fame, to become ma
tional figures, and historical characters.
In the history of the United States the
names of the men who have occupied
the highest place in the esteem of their
countrymen have been those who have
been prominent in fighting the nations
battles, and the war with Spain is no
exception. Already, men who were
known only in the immediate vicinity
of their associates, are known to
everyone by reputation, and in some in
stances have become heroes by their
action in battle; in other cases names
have become prominent by reason of
the incapacity shown, but that is to be
expected for the reason that never yet
has a square stick been made to fill a
round hole.
The list of men who have gained re-
nown through their conduct in the war
iust ended is large: Sampson, Schley,
Dewey, Wainwright, Hobson and others
in the navy; Wheeler, Merritt, Lawton,
Roosevelt, and others in the army, but
in the estimation of the people, Admiral
Dewey and Colonel Roosevelt head the
list. Admiral Dewey, by his magnifi-
cent victory in the bay Of Manila on
May /, and by his subsequent manage
ment of affairs in the Philippines, has
become the ideal officer in the
navy. Hero worship may be dead in
America, but the regard the people of
the United States have for the admiral
approaches very nearly to worship.
Whether or not Admiral Dewey has po-
litical aspirations is not known, but
should he have, there is nothing within
the gift of the people that he cannot
have for the asking.
Colonel Roosevelt, as the leader of the
Rough Riders and his treatment and
constant care of his men, has filled the
public eye almost to the exclusion of all
| other men who saw service in Cuba.
That the colonel has political aspira-
tions every n knows, and while he
has avoided all reference to the subject
since returning from Santiago de Cuba,
yet, as a possible candidate for governor
of New York, his name is received with
approval by the Republican party OF
that state, and many of the Democrats,
prominent in the political circles of that
state, have indorsed him for the Office.
There is but little doubt if he is a can.
didate that the nomination will come tc
him almost by reclamation, and his
| election is assured before the campaign
begins.
Roosevelt is ambitious. Nothing sue
ceeds like success, and should he bt
elected governor of New York at thu
| coming election, in 1904, should he live
and make no mistake, no other mai ii
the country would receive as hearty
an endorsement or as enthusiastic sup
port for the presidency as Theodore
Roosevelt.

being taken, so that when the fugitive

The Kind Of q Legislature Wanted in

We sincerely hope that the people Of
New Mexico will send 36 men to the
legislature this winter, each and every
one possessed of a fair share of practical
common sense, and be actuated by the
single purpose Of doing the best possible
for the whole territory. If 1t were pos
sible to get the 80 most able and ener-
getic men in the territory to 60 to the
legislature, they could not, in the allot-
ted 60 days, do one-half of the work
that is needed. We have had the laws
of the territory compiled, and, as we
predicted, this compilation simply en-
phasizes the necessity of o large sized

while its driver was looking for a fare,
gone mad and run away rapidly. Terror
and uproar were in tho thoroughfare as
