than that of Dakota or Manitoba but
there will be other objections. To make
of the Russian Jew successful farmer
is not an impossibiIity, but the expert
ment must begin with the young people
and not with the old, who are, by reason
Of their habits of life, united for ard
unaccustoned to agricultural pursuits.
Without venturing to suggest, 1t would
seem that one Of the first steps which
the Zionists should take Is the establish
ment of an agricultural college similar to
the agricultural department Of the Uni
yersity of Minnesota, for the education Of
Jewish boys and girls on the broadest
lines cf practical agricultural knowledge.
Then there might be some hope that
real, intelligent interest in agricultural
pursuits might be aroused, and the pupil
woul'2 find that farming is not a hopeless
undertaking, nor does it mean exile, but
that it is a safe. profitable business.
The faiiurese of Zionism in the matter
Of establishing colonies are, to large
extent, due to a lack of practical ex-
perierce on the part of the promoters and
a want Of consideration and judgment in
the selection Of the colonists. The poor
Jew of the cities with his puny physique,
low vitality and resulting prediction for
sedentary pursuits can never be convert
ed into practical, successful farmer.
If The Zionists will devote their first
attention to building up the physique of
the lower class Jew and to his manual
training they will have laid secure
foundation for their plan. But TO depend
upon enthusiasm and religious fcrvor
without a solid basis of educated mind
and muscle is building house upon the
sand.

ROTTLING THE FACTS

The public has not yet received any in
formation as to how President McKin-
ley came to appoint polygamists to fed
eral offices in Utah. 1t is not known
whether or not the president was in
duced to appoint Mormons as postmas-
ters and to other positions by means of
false representations, or whether the
president knew the appointees were po-
lygamists when he appointed them. It is
not known, if false representations were
made to the president, who made them,
nor is it known why it is deemed neces-
sary to screen the person or persons re
sponsible for such appointments.
The special committee charged with the
investigation of these scandals has sup
pressed its report, and all the facts are
kept from the public. Perhaps it might
make trouble for the administration dur
ing the campaign if the truth was gener-
ally known.
And it now seems highly probable that
the disclosure of the fraud and corrup-
ton which have been rampant in Cuba,
not only in the postofice department. but
in other departments as well. is to be
withheld until after election for the rea-
son that full publicity would be exceed
ingly injurious to McKinley's interests
during the campaign. 1t would not be
pleasant for the public to know all the
doings OF the horde of thieving carpet
baggers who have been shipped to Cuba
by the Mckinley administration. Many
of the Cuban officeholders appointed by
President Mckinley appear to be under
the impression that Cuba Libre means
that in Cuba they are free to grab all
they are able and hang on to all they
can get.

THE STATE AND LABOR.

There is perhaps no feature of the pc
culiar social and political methods and
conditions prevalent in the Australasian
colonies Of Great Britain which has at
tracted the same degree of attention as
that which relates to labor legislation.
For years past all the principles of the
law Of contract applying to the relations
of master and servant have. especially
in New Zealand been steadily undergo
ing complete annihilation. None of the
accepted doctrines of the books seem des-
tined to survive. The New Zealand law
represents the highest DEVELOPMENT thus
far reached of the paternal idea. The
state acts as the champion and repre-
sentative of one of the parties to the
contract of hiring. and places the other
more or less completely at the mercy of
it's regulations.
Among the other products of labor leg
islation which they possess in New Zea-
This provides for the existence of a.
board Of arbitration which, in certain
contingencies, is vested with, power to
compel the parties to an Industrial dis
pute to submit their difficulties to arbi-
tration. In a recent case which that
body took under advisement an award
was given decreeing that unionist work
men were entitled to employment in
preference to non-union workmen equally
capable and suffering under no disquaIi-
fication In any direction.
From this decision an appeal was taken
to the highest court-the court of ap-
peals of the colony-and it was affirmed
The opinion was written by the chief JUS
tice and embodies the following remark

Judged by the latest expressions or Max
Nordau. Zionism is in fact an effort to In
duce the poor and oppressed Jews of
Eastern Europe and Northern Africa to
go upon the land instead of focking to
the already overcrowded cities The in
flux of large numbers of the lower class
of Jews, no doubt, imposes a. great bur
den and responsibility upon the enlight-
ened Jews of the United States. They
cannot ignore their presence or see them
to impoyerish themselves. If the stream
Of Jewish immigration could be turned
Zionwards to the plains and hills Of Pal.
estine with any prospect that the immi
grants in large numbers might become
useful and self-supporting citizens, 1t
would be an immense relief to the Gull
tured and enlightened Jewish communi-
ties throughout the world.
Heretofore, it must be admitted, the at
tempts to induce the Jew of Eastern
Europe to adopt agricultural or pastoral
pursuits have not been a great success.
The instincts acquired during hundreds
of years of oppression lead him into other
pursuits. The Russian Jewish colonies
established on the Western prairies at
different times have not been successful.
and the colonists In most cases have wan
dered to the cities, engaging in commerce
in a small way, or thronging the tene-
ments with the poorest class of Iaborcrs.
1t is not improbable that similar ILL
success will attend all attempts for many
years to come TO establish the poorer
class of Jews upon the soil of Palestine

HOW THE MACHINE MOVES

In one of those moments of intense
frankness which occur in the lives CT
even master politicians, Senator Platt, of
New York. has stated within the past
few days that there would be no oc-
casion whatever for the holding Of Pc
publican national convention were 1T not
for the unfortunate complication of the
vice presidency. He was right. He
might have gone further and have add
ed that if it were not for the conduct of
certain foolish and obstreperous persons
like Tim Woodruff even that ccmplica-
ton would have been avoided, and the
convention resolve itself beforehand into
an agreement among less than half
dozen statesmen Of the rank Of himself
and Hanna, thus saving unnecessary ex-
pense and trouble
There are different views to be taken
Of the conditions which have thus rem
dered the holding of a national conVen-
ton of one of The great political divisions
of the country practically unnecessary.
yet become reconciled to the control of
the machine in political as well as in in
dustrial life, it will appear rather a sad
travesty on popular institutions that so
great an event should assume the ap-
pearance of cut-and-drled transaction
in which the body of the people Of the
party concerned have had nothing what
ever to say. To others, however, the oc-
casion will present itself to view as
merely demonstrating how effectively
business methods are made tC prevail in
every relation of life, and how COM
pletely and with what simplicity the gen
eral sentiment of the party, which is
favorable to the denomination of the
president and the leadership of Senator
Hanna, finds expression. To the general
public the occasion Will present itself as
in every sense an extraordinary one, the
true explanation of which may be cf-
fectually sought in the old saying about
the cohesive power Of public plumber.
National politics is conducted pure and
simple on a commercial basis. None but
commercial considerations are now avail
able in determining the right or wisdom
of a given public policy; and it would be
really surprising if the most approved
commercial methods were not found most
available in conducting large interests
such as are involved. The entire plan uf
popular gatherings is growing anti
quated, and with the splendid progress
we have made. as represented by the
easy procedure of the Republican con-
vention, it may reasonably be expected
that even the formality of elections may
not be found Indispensable. after we have
advanced some distance along these
lines.
Tuesdays convention will find little
embarrassment in the vice presidential
situation when the time comes for MAX
ing the nomination. Few will lave the
temerity to stand forward to advocate
any candidate after the administration
has decided i'll the person of Senator
Hanna Cn its candidate. Tho few jarrina
interests will be at once reconciled. and
the machine will move smoothly on to
the effective registration of its will.
