streams that flow into the great ocean Of
Jewish thought, religion, and patriotism;
that is to say. tho modern Jew, whose ten
denotes are for reform and assimilation,
does not believe in a Jewish political state
and does ncL deem it possible that the
Jews OF various countries could so blend
into one homogeneous state as TO create
harmony and perpetuity- The people OF
the Ghetto do not mix with the eiviiiza-
ton of this era, and in less than no time,
if Palestine were absolutely surrendered
to the Jews. there would be deplorable
lack OF harmony and internecine strife
from a religious standpoint that would in
evitabIy end in disruption Second, there
are a large number of thinking, we'll
meaning. patric &c Jews throughout the
world, and especially in the United States,
who do not deem it wise or practical to
advocate wholesale immigration from va
rious countries on account Of local condi-
tions, and who believe that whatever re
forms are essential and necessary should
be secured in the countries in which the
prosecuted live, and that every effort
should be made on the part of the civil
lied countries of the earth to create, by
diplomatic and peaceabIe agencies, more
favorable legislation for those people.
Third. the Zionistic movement perpetuates
a separation of the Jew as a citizen from
his feIIowmen, transferring him from
world representative into purely local
zeaIot, fostering the very conditions with
which he has been charged by his ira
ducers.
am aware of all the arguments ad-
vanced by the friends of the Zionists- In
common with them, my heart bleeds for
the depIorabIe condition OF my core
ligionists, and the devotion OF lifetime
at home and abroad, given unreservedly
and disinterestedly, is the best answer on
this proposition.

THE MOVEMENT FOR A NEW ZION
CONSIDERED NJ VARIOUS PHASES

To the Zionistic movement, I beg
~ leave to say, in my opinion, there
y are several phases connected
Herewith that should be consid-
cred most carefully, for the local condi-
tions which have given rise to the move
ment lend color and give emphasis TO its
appearance that do not strike the public
at large and are not responded to by the
Jewish community as a whole, especially
in the United States.
The leaders of this movement, through
whose inspiration it has grown into what
may be justly termed world eminence.
were, no doubt, inspired by disinterested
and noble sentiments, crea ed by the la
meRtabIe and deplorabIe situation OF the
Jews in Russia, Gallicia. and Roumania.
and who, no doubt, thought and still think
that by enlisting the Jewish people of
the world in sympathetic recognition
great good might be achieved and the un-
fortunate Jews of those countries be
transferred into their ancient home, the
land where It is claimed milk and honey
flowed in abundant streams, and where
they among themselves could achieve and
secure the happiness and political free
dom which is denied them in the lands of
their birth.
This plan is in perfect harmony and
keeping with that of the late American
philanthropist, Mordeeai Manual Noah,
who attempted to found a Jewish colony
in the United States. near the city of Buf-
falo- and whose ambition it was to better
the political and moral condition of his
co-reIigionists in other countries. but it
ended in complete failure, and remains
one Of those visionary attempts which
good men from time immemoriaI have
tried with similar results.
The Zionistic movement, unfortunately,
comes into direct collision with various

the Jew is accorded full and equal priv

BIC GAME AND GOOD HUNTERS
IN THE WILDS OF MEXICO
