TWO VIEWS ON ZioNlsM.

longer a cause Of jealousy In so-callcd
Christian Europe, but 1t may not fall
gratefully upon Mohammedan ears
For this reason he Is rather inclined
to believe that the movement is not to
be taken seriously" although some
very able men are identified with It.
An entirely different view is ex-
pressed by correspondent Of the New
York Mail and Express, And he
POUNDS his opinion on the ancient He
brew prophecies. He quotes jeremiah.

1.-THE house Of Judah shall walk with
the house OF lsraeland they shall come
together out Of the land Of the north
to the land which have given for an
inheritance to their fathers"
He calls special attention to the aux
Hilary verb "shall'in this prediction,
and draws the conclusion that the peo-
pie are not to have altogether the de-

SPEAKING OF ROOSEVELT.

The following estimate Of President

A London dispatch says Egypt Is

ducing countries OF the world. Mines.
Il seems, have been discovered, that
we're worked before the exodus Of the
Iyraelites. and they will again be made
to Yield the precious metal.
The story told is that Charles j. AL
ford, mining engineer, has explored
the mountainous region between the
Nile and tho Red Sea. and found sew
eral ancient mining sites. He claims
that Egypt offers very promising
Geld for gold seekers. II is rich in gold
lead, silver, turquoise, emerald, beryl
porphyry, and marble. Assays Of
Quartz from one mine which has not
been worked since the ninth century
show a percentage Of gold ranging from
few pcnnyweights to ten ounces q
the ton.
Egypt once was the leading country
OF the world. II supplied other coun.
tries with breadstufts and precious
metals, while It's treasures OF scientiA,

OF the students and scholars Of many

1t Is interesting TO note that In this
prophetic vision, the restoration Of
Israel Is coincdent with the restora-
ton Of both Egypt and Assyiia to their
former glory The entire land from
the Nile region to the country watered
by the Euphrotes and Tigris will be the
immediate benchclaries Of the latter

CONGRESSMAN BABCOCK Is FIRM

Some of Congressman Babcoek's re-
publican brothers may not like it.
but he continues firm, nevertheless,
in his determination not to let the
negotiation or proposal of reciprocity
treaties interfere with his work for
the reduction or cancellation of un-
necessary duties on the products OF
trusts that owe their ability to enjoy
monopolies and rob the people to the
Dinghy tariff.
The principle for which he stands
is more popular among the people aud
especially in the west than ever and
the organization of the 800. 900, OOU
pillow trust will not tend TO diminish
the favor with which his proposition
has been received by the farmers.
The commercial extension that NAV
be effected by well considered re-
ciprocity arrangements is highly de-
sirsble, but so is the relief to tax
payers at home that would result
from a reduction of trust tariffs
which are enriching the rich and max
ing the poor poorer year by year.
Mr.. Babcock is said to be no trust
batter" or corporation hHter, but he
does believe in the removal of bur-
dens that serve no good purpose.
