Protestant Opposition to Oberammerpau,

There has always been some antago-
nism to the Passion Play at Oberammer-
gau among the Protestants of Germany;
but the methods and manner in which.

The Christian in China and the Jew In
Rumania.--A Contrast.

In connection with the desperate situa-
ton of the little band of Christians in the
midst Of an alien people in China, atten-
ton has been called to another little band
of people in Rumania, subjected to the
derivation of every civil right by their
orthodox Christian neighbors, badgered
and bounded by the police, and in con-
slant danger of bloody persecution by the
populace. We have already in the de-
partment OF Foreign Topics referred to
this ant-Jewish outbreak in Eastern Eu-
rope. The singular Indifference of the
Christian powers to this breaking of SOL
emn treaty rights by the Rumanian Gov
eminent. in contrast to their eagerness
to rescue Christian missionaries from the
heathen Chinese, is thus commented upon
by The American Hebrew august 10):
international justice-we hear much of
that now. A few hundred Christians
locked up in Picking, menaced by Boxers,
startle the world. and its armies invade
Foreign territory, regardless Of life or ex-
pense. In Russia and Humane alike,
hundreds of thousands of men, women
ard children endure continually what Is
a living death, but not a hand is raised
In their behalf. No invasion of territory,
none to risk his life, not any expense,
were needed. but firm demand of the
powers that treaty rights be respected.

market and conditions of trade, the re-

lenders For the present, at all events,
the Zionist propaganda Is unlikely to
come within the sphere of practical poll
tiCc."
The Jewish press like the Jewish peo-
pie, is divided in opinion. 1t is commonly
accepted that the Spanish, Portuguese.
French and Russian Jews are to some
what large extent in favor of ZioniSm.
The same assertion has lately been made
about the German Jews, but this does
not appear to be borne out by the facts.
Among the English and American Jewish
press it is difficult to find much favorable
comment on the Congress, although in
both countries the movement is undoubt-
edly favored by certain group who are
thoroughly in earnest. The Jewish
Chronicle Uondon, August I'D calls Zion
ism "a counsel of despair" and says:
Nothing that was advanced at the
Congress has caused us to alter the view
We have frequently expressed that politi-
cal Zionism rests upon failacies. The
scheme of obtaining from the Sultan of
Turkey a legally secured home in Pales-
tine strikes as being as impracticable
as ever. Speaking at the mass-meeting
held in London in October, 1883, DR..
Herzl led his followers to believe that the
return was to commence almost immedf-
ately. In view of this pronounce
ment two years ago, the remark In the
report of the Actions Committee present

ture statements of what they hope to OBJ

we have had mysterious illusions to ne.
gotiations with the Sultan and the Kali
ser, but DIR. Herzls references in the
meanwhile have grown less father than

started seems to be receding into the
background, 1t was almost hidden from
view in Mondays speech But even IL il
were going to be realized tomorrow, We
should still have to designate it as falla
cicus and even mischievous. We have
said again and. again, and We repeat it
that the Jewish question of each countr,
