Of course SHE desired TO go

A FAVORED COUNTRY.

Reviews OF the business Of the past
year show the most gratifying results
Business In all It's branches has been
unusually active. There was some wild
stock speculation followed by panic, but
dlaaster was ayerted. There have also
been strikes and some business combi-
nations have failed while some crops
suffered heavily on account Of drought
But Notwithstanding these and other
depressing Influences. business has been
maintained in q healthy, vigorous con-
dition.
Railway earnings are reported as
having increased 70 per cent and net
returns. IS per cent over the best pre-
cedng year Prices are reported higher
than In any period between 1893 and the
third quarter Of 1899, Wheat reached
the highest price since 1898, corn and
oats were higher than at any time dur
ing the decade. and other products rose
propdfionotely
But Notwithstanding the high prices
savings deposits accumulated, and this
country is now said TO be ahead Of al
the world in this respect. They are
said to have reached the enormous sun
of 81, $40 $685. 900, These deposits have
doubled In nearly fifteen years. Ger
many is the next largest, $1,000 900 900;
Austria-Hungary, N,20l, 600; France

that comparisons Of this kind are moi
conclusive because savings in Germany
are placed In cooperative banks
Building associations, both In this
country and In European lands carry
also a large share of savings. In this
country these hold s7OO,OOOOOO Of say

Everything considered, the new yeal

ZIONIST CONGRESS-.

Hut little news Is received through
the ordinary channels about the con-
gress OF Zionlsts that opened In Basic,
Switzerland, on the Goth OF December
last. Yet It IL an event that Is worthy
Of more than passing notice Zlonlsm Is
no longer regarded as a dream Of a
visionary, but as possibility that
win have to be reckoned with In the
future. II Is, IN the language Of Is
rael zangwill, the greatest Jewish
movement since the foundation OF
Christianity"
The present congress Of Hebrews IL
the fifth It Is presided over by Or.
Horzl, the founder of the modern "Zi-
onism, and about 1000 delegates are
present, representing every important
country In the world, except Australia.
In his opening address. Or Her2l re-
ferred Ia his recent visit to the Turkish
sultan and stated that Abdul Hamld
had expressed sympathy with the
movement declaring that he consider
ed the Jews as desirable colonists The
speaker added that he had absolute
confidence IN the national colonization
movement and that he believed this
would succeed where efforts toward
charitable colonization had failed.
It is curious to consider how zionism
has grown, Notwithstanding opposition,
during its brief existence, Five years
ago It was merely suggestion, To-
day II is a definite plan, for the COM
pletion of which thousands In all parts
OF the world are laboring, intelligently
and theoretically, The federation of

Such are the proportions to which this

It Is poor mans movement.
The idea was, we believe TO
accumulate somewhat over one million
dollars with which to commence opera
tons as soon as a charter could be
obtained giving the colonization COM
pany a legal status In Palestine. The
money has been slower IN coming than
was anticipated, but the company is

The proper step to take In order to
arrive ct the best results, appears to be
between the two extremes OF free trade
and cxorbitant duty on the two chief
products OF the island We do not
believe that n sufficient number OF our
national legislators can be Influenced
IN favor Of the sugar monopoisls to
damage the beet sugar Industry by the
abolition Of the tarlff on the Cuban ar
ticle, AZ the same time a reduction
could probably be arranged which
would be Of great benefit to the people
Of the island, 10 whom we owe some
regard because Of our peculiar relations
with them, and which would not be
Injurious to our own sugar producing
Industries.
The principle OF reciprocity IS recog-
nl2ed by both the great political par
ties as reasonable policy TO be pur-
sued, and we look for modification OF
the tariff on Cuban products, regulated
by that principle 50 as to be OF mutual
profit to Cuba and TO the United

The acceptance OF the treasury port
foil by Mr., Crane would have necessl-
tattd his giving up the paper business
with which he and his family have
been identified for generations. Il
would not have been like Gov, Crane
to have put his mills out of his hands
temporarily, or to have resorted to any
suhterfuge In order TO evade merely the
letter of the law II would have meant
to him the actual abandonment Of the
business, Quite likely here was where
