M UIRSCH RELIEVED.

The action Of the members of the Temple
Emanu- FL on Wednesday evening 10y which the
Rev DR. Emil G.. Hirsch of Chicago, was To-
lieved of his promise TO accept the position OF
chief rabbi OF that congregation was the iinal
step in a movement which was watched win
great interest not only by the members or the
temple. but by Jews in all parts of the country.
who knew that the installation of DR.. Hirsch III
the place of DR.. Gotthcl might change the char
actpr of the congregation and influence the con-
SENTATIVE congregations Ill over the United
States Dr. Hrsch has been for years the eX-
pounder Of the ultra-radical branch of American
Judaism. the advocate Of the abolition OF inc
Jewish Sabbath and he has gained much n0to-
ricty bv his abuse of men of his calling VINO
were less radical than he. His views as well
rs his pecuaritips have been looked upon with
favor by his Chicago congregation, but II IS
doubtful whether the conservative men who
rcg1llate the affairs Of the Temple EMANUEL
would have done so.
The temple passed through a critical period
some years ago when radical members raised
the cry that religious ceremony was only rem
nant of antiquity. and that ancient forms. cere-
monies and usagcs should be abolished. The
cry did not alarm the conservative members,
and when some of the radicals severed their
connection with the temple and went to Sunday
lectures instead Of attending Saturday services
their places in the house of worship were soon
taken by new members
by placing Dr. Hirsch in the pulpit the TEN
ME Emanu-EI would have taken the risk Of go
ING through the same ordeal with the difference
that in the former struggle the pulpit was the
restraining element: il stood for Judaism. while
with the Chicago orator in the teachers place
the situation would probably be reversed and
the members Of the temple, who are as proud OF
their Judaism as they are of their citizenship
might be accused, as some Of their western
brethren are now. OF being "Jewntarans.
All things considered we think that the TEN
pie Emanuel should he congratulated on It's ac-
ton in relieving DR.. Hrsch of his promise. and
Chicago should also be fellcitated for having
retained man who has shown himself emf
nently fitted for the position which he now
holds.

There are welcome announcements concern

to be sent thither without delay, 10 the Gnlf

the Canadian frontier. Both these enterprises
have long been urgently needed, and though
they come late will serve good purposes. The

nous wealth of mineral and other natural re-
sources which ii contains. and II is now high

The explorers are to go TO the Gulf coast, be-

Cooks Inlet and the other to the Copper River.
They will serve, apart from scientific ends.

latter in their mineral deposits
The second purpose Is to survey the best
routes of access to the KlOndike region and the
middle reaches of the Yukon. The mouth Of
Copper River is considerably nearer 10 Dawson
City than is the head Of Lynn Canal and there
is reason to suppose that the overland route Is
no harder. and perhaps much easier. Certainly
either Copper River or Cooks Inlet will be found

fuence of the Porcupine River. The scenes or

of the latter will not come into consideration.
