The movement for reforming the gov

practically Of no solution The emily way
in which tbs epp1nents OF Tammany
can unite Is by esohewing politics
altogether, and selecting man OF bon

(Boston Advertiser.l
The promoters OF the memorial fund to
Admiral Phillip have followed wise
policy. The fund of 500. 90. when raised,
is TO be invested for the benefit of his
widow, while she lives; and the income
is afterwards to be used for the matnte-
nance OF the home for sailors at the
brooklyn navy yard. While he lived ADJ
miraI Phillip did much to secure the
money for the construc tion OF that build-
ing; and although his own death left bis
family atheist destitute, he believed that
this country would not suffer them to
want, while he knew OF his own obserya-
ton how little notice Is paid to the
United States sailor, in time OF peace.
So he gave the last years OF his life 90
working for that home; and the mafnte.

Views Of a Noted Jewish Publisher on
the COuntry's Future.
As far as human Judgment can fore
seat least SO it seems to the writer
Porous than anything this country has
ever before seen. There will be an enor-
mously increased demand for our natural
products, such as iron, aud just now coal;
and our manufactured products are also
rapidly making their way. In certain
lines, such as agricultural implements,
tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever
it is necessary to combine lightness with
strength, we are away ahead Of the rest
of the world, and it is only because we
have not cultivated the foreign markets
with sufficient assiduity that we have
given our competitors a ghost of a show.
In other lines than those mentioned
above, such as ladies' fine shoes and
others that the writer could mention, we
also form a class by ourselves superior to
the rest of the world. These conclusions
are drawn from personal observations in
many countries.
A second point which ought to be
well presented is that of expansion. You
no doubt are aware of the greater or less
persecution which the Jews have under
gone in all the countries Of the world, and
are still undergoing to-day. Therefore
n of the things that we desire to see
established above all others is the univer-
sal principle of the right of any decent
man to go anywhere where he thinks he
can improve his condition and enjoy all
the rights and immunities of a native,
without being put to any disadvantage
because of his religion. There are really
only two countries that give this priv
lege: these are the United States and
