sTHEIR SYMPATHIEs

There was mass meeting in Chicago
last evening in theeinterest of DR.. Herzls
Zionist movement, which has for its OBJ
ject-s the colonization of Palestine with
communities of Jews and the ultimate res
toration of the Jewish nation to it's an
Gent home, once the scene OF It's Gays
of wealth and glory. There Is no desire
on the part of DR.. Herzl to attempt the
promotion of a general exodus OF Jews
throughout the world, for very many OF
them have no sympathy with the move
ment, but the program is to- open the way
for the migration of all jews outrageously
oppressed in European countries, sucn as
Russia and Roumania, to Palestine, "nere'
under decree of the Sultan OF turkey, IL

. really oppressed people on the face OIL
the earth. it is the Jews Of Russia, Rou-
mania and portions of the Austro-Hun-
garian empire. They are roDDed anu
scourged and wronged in every concelVa-
BILE manner by the government unoef
which they live. Yet the voice or sym-
pathy is rarely uplifted in their penal
and in this country these wrongs are
seldom the subject of comment outside the
Jewish people themselves. American poll
ticians find no meat for themselves ia
oxnandinp sympathy on the wrongs Of the
Jews.
There was gathering at Cleveland yes
terday. where the speakers poured ouI
their sympathy with the Beers Oh oou'n
Africa, Colonel Bryan figuring consplcu-
ouslv as a. twister of the British hon
tail and a denunciator Of the United states
government for not expressing ohclal
svmDathv with the Beers. Our govern
ment has already offered its services ~
Great Britain as mediator between Tue
crown and the Beers, but the British gov
eminent has very decidedly declined every
offer of mediation from all the powers, ana
there is not the slightest probability thaI
our government Will 1nCoA ~ y - ~>N~'
