against its Jews. When Russia could 'nt or

NJ one saw that Christian nations have not
the right nor the power to cmancipatc
25O,ooO Jewish souls in little dependent
country of SON" 200 square miles and some
5,OO0T0 inhabitants. If the jew has no
mother country To lift the sword in his
behalf, let him. AZ least have his daughters
religions To appeal to for protection of
rights, which an, jew, Christian and Mo-
hammodan, hold - sacred and inyiOlable."
