A COMMITTEE of the Virginia legisla-
ture recently inspected the Maryland
penitentiary. Their object is to ascer-
tain aud report az to the management
Vt penitentiaries In other States; how
prisoners are lodged, fed, worked, etc.
For some time the Virginia penitentiary
has been overcrowded and efforts have
been made 10 the legislature to appro.
pirate large sum Of money to enlarge
the buildings, etc. This would have
been done at the last session II the
money in the treasury had not been
needed for the old ex-Confederates and
very properly they were first looked
after. That the penitentiary needs en-
larging and that the prisoners should
be properly, but plainly. fed and clothed
is generally admitted, but 1t Is hoped
that growing sentimentality for crimi.
mails will not possess the committee or
the legislature, for prisons should not be
made desirable places Of abode for any

MONDAY EVENING, MAY 8. 1901.

SIeNoR DI SAN MARTINo, under-for-
eign secretary. announced 10 the Italian
Chamber OF Deputies Saturday that
Turkey had twice asked the powers to
intervene to prevent Jews from settling
in Ottoman territory. The embassies
replied that they could not take the
measures demanded. The descendants
of Abraham 10 the benighted Orient
are still being made the footballs OF ig-
norance aud superstition, and the spirit
manifested by the feeble Ottoman en-
pire to keep the descendants OF Abrs-
ham moving, and that, too, out of the
land In which the God OF their fathers
placed them, Ia as rank as it was nine"
teen hundred years ago. To the intel
Iigent and thoughtful the Jew Ia regard
ed as an individual Of interest. to say
the least, and a standing miracle at
testing the truth of the only practical,
sensible and satisfactory revelation
made to man, and the preservation OF
the race almost from the dawn OF crea-
tion is wonderful to contemplate and
the only instance in the worlds history
of o people preserving its nationality
amid the most trying scenes. Like the
bush which attracted the attention OF
their great lswgiver, Moses, they ourn
but are not consumed. They survived.
Increased and multiplied under the
cruelties of the Phsraohs, escaped the
wrath OF Haman aud the long train OF
prosecutions which have followed since
the destruction OF their capital at the
beginning of the Christian era, and
they need not fear the decrepit Turk.
To the United States, as 1t should be
everywhere else, q mans nationality
has nothing to do with bis merits.
Here the Jew has the same opportuni-
ty to work out bis own destiny as the
GENTLE, and in every community
throughout our broad domains many OF
the more prosperous merchants and
popular politicians are of Hebrew ex.
traction.
