DR.. Emil Hirsch, the ~well-known and in
1uential Jewish rabbi. of Chicago. has an
nounced his intention OF supporting the
Republican ticket, and Illinois Democrats
are much chagrined. They had counted
confidently on his coming out for Alshuler,
the Democratic candidate for Governor. be-
cause the latter is a brother Hebrew. DR..
Hirsch. says in n letter to a friend. how
ever, that as both candidates are men of
unimpeachable character he will support
the Republican nominee because of the
principles he represents. and adds: 81 do
not vote as a Jew, but as an American
citizen" These are good words. and the
sentiment is one that should be adopted
as his own by every member of every race.
or every person of foreign birth, who has
a right to a vote in the United States. He
should be an American before he is a Jew
or a German, an Irishman or a negro.

Timothy Wilfred Coakley, of Boston, a
Bryan stumper in 1896 and a Philippine
soldier since. has declared for Mckinley
in the following letter:
1 am as much of a silver man as ever.
but l do not wish TO see the American flag
hauled down from any pole 1t has been
made to mount. Bryan says the independ-
ence of the Fflipinos is a issue,
and on that issue / am with the Repub-
lican platform and against that of the
Democrats. For some weeks 1900 Filipinos
tried 10 break through our lines at Manila
10 cut my throat. and since then 1 cannot
see any particular virtue in the Filipinos.
/ never want TO see the American flag
pulled down in hat glorious city. and l will
never vote to have IL done. No Democrat
who was in Manila about Feb. 4, 1899, viii
vote for Bryan on his new platform.
1t is probable that where one man who
has been a Republican will vote for Mr..
Bryan because of his attitude regarding the
Philippines, two who voted for Bryan in
1896 will vote for Mckinley. Surrender to
men in arms against the United States does
not suit many Americans.

resolution criticising President Mckinley.
AS 10 such resolution was passed or even
considered. leading members of that church

present at the meeting said that every Ger

many guerrilla parties scattered about Luz

The French Birth Rate.

During the last five ye'rs the birth
rate among the native French race has
been appreciably inferior to the death
late. although the total population OF
France has increased about 10000 in
those five years. This increase, how
ever, is due to foreign immigration.
An eminent French statistician, writ
ing recently in the Petit Journal Of
Paris. estimated that Russia will
double her population in forty-fve
years. Germany in siXty-fye years,
Austria-HanSary IN seventy years,
England in eighty years and Italy in
one hundred and ten years, while
France, at her present rate of increase,
will require $50 years.
