AFTER FIFTY YEARS.

New-York has a larger Jewish population
than any other city in the world, and it is not
strange that il should be one of the strongholds
OF the ZiOnistic movement. When ZiOniSm 5
champions Of the present period first advocated
tie estab ishment of a Jewish State in Pales-
tine, their n st attentive listeners. their most
liberal contributors and the most eloquent *
Founders of the Herzl plans were the Jews OF
the East Side. In New-York the work pro-
duced another unusual triumph. in that ii at
tracted first the sympathy and then the cooper
alton OF men who were not OF the orthodox
type. The growth of the movement however,
has always been regarded by many Jews as
based on sentimentality and illogical theories.
and the plan evolved by the pioneers of the
Jewish State as the creation of visionary en-
thusiasts.
The controversy resembles in many respects
the one of half a century ago, when the Ortho-
dOx Jews stood arrayed against the reform ele
ment. On one side were the men who, despite
the fact that they had come to a free country
far from the original home of the Jews. favored
the maintenance of the customs usages and re-
lieious ceremonies which were given to their
ancestors under vastly different conditions in
the Orient. On the other side were men, equal
ly anxious TO preserve the faith of their fathers
who wanted 10 eliminate OTentasms and make
JUDAISM mere American. At that time DIR. Isaac
NJ. Wise. after beginning the fight in his pulpit
at Albany, continued it through the columns of
his paper in Cincinnati and he and the men who
stood for reform, among whom Einhorn Lilen-
thai and Hirsch were conspicuous figures, won
the battle. ''1he American Israelite" seems
still to be inspired by the spirit of it's founder
for in its current number it speaks OF Zionism
as being INCOMPATIBLE with the reform spirit
we do not propose" it says. Ito compromise
with orthodoxy, and Jew who is not ortho-
"dox and is a supporter Of ZiOnism is one whose
position Is so illogical that to a man Of we'll
balanced mind it appears untenable."
The writer regards the re-esta blfshment Of
Jewish State in Palestine whether in absolute
independence or undor the suzerainty OF the
Sultan. as undesirable. because il would be
based On "a union OF church and state a con
"diton which IS opposed to the existence Of
true religious liberty. and is justly regarded
'as an anomaly even in such countries as Eng
"land and France, where il is more apparent
than real" And SO the "uncompromisinc"
protest against Zionism by Jewish paper
comes out Of the West as did the one for re-
form years acO. Then the endeavor was 10
make the Jews of this country Americans. Now
il is 10 keep them Americans.

supply u the latter figure win be proportion
ately much less. Upon the basis OF only 2Oo-
100000 gallons a day, however, the estimated
cost does not seem 10 be excessive. Tie CON-
rnissioners quote the figures OF cost OF Boston's
new supply and OF the Croton extension since
1855 by the side OF which the 100000 seems
reasonable.
A few years ago James II. Fuertes, an engi-
ieer, reported 10 the Merchants Association
unon the probable cost OF getting a supply Of
2J0O0O000 gallons a day from the Esopus re-
gion. His estimate was from S53,OO0,O)O to
s7GOO0OO0, according to the wages paid to
Vvorllmcn. II the works were extended so as

necrs 81 the present commission. reported TO
Controller Coler that the cost Of getting daily

would be- from S30OO0000 10 S4LO00O00. The
cost OF each million gallons delivered in New
York. according 10 Mr.. Fuertess 250o00O0o

numbers. and according 10 Mr.. Freeman's
llan from 81 10 SD. or from S23 TO $50, with

plan pretty closely comedies with the larger
figures formerly given by Mr. Freeman; for.
while II proposes 10 snend s5O.oooO00 instead q
only Ssl.000,0O0. il also proposes TO furnish for
that sum an aqueduct capable OF carrying 500

WIND SHIELDS.

The Empire City oval above the Harlem is
amazingly fast and trotters and PAGERS are
doing astonishing things on that circuit of
measured mile. Nevertheless wind shields
ought 10 be barred. Give the harness horses
the benefit Of pneumatic tires and OF the light
est sUlkies and wagons which our ingenious
American manufacturers can put together; and
let them have pacemakers TO stimulate their
speed and promote their finest efforts But
wind shields are flegitimate and indefensible.
ATion and Axteil. Dexter and Rarus, Maud s.
St julien and Sunol were not favored with any
such appliances. A trotter or a PAGER that is not
permitted TO breast the breezes without such
shelter Is not a deserving candidate for the
highest bonors
Don't ccCdle these pets and favorites over
much. A fair field, with equal chances under
reasonable conditions-to those things they are
entitled. but surely to nothing more.

The Department OF Justice has just given
decision which helps to illuminate the political
and governmental status Of the island Of Guam.
Under the Supreme Courts Porto Rcan iudg-
ments Guam, like the rest Of The territory ac-
quired through the treaty Of peace with Spain.
fell outside the constitutional limits of the
Union. The Constitution did not-and could
not-extend itself ex proprio vigore over the
sleepy and lonely island which had been walked
from IT'S slumbers by the Charleston's opera
boUffe intrusion into the harbor of san Luis
d'Apra. No one ever thought Of contending,
after the Downes case was settled, that Guam
was for political or administrative purposes "a
part Of the United States" or could become
such except through some affirmative action by
Congress. But just how deep the little archi-
pelaco was plunged in limbo it has been left
for time and circumstance to show
The opinion just given deals with one of'the
many notable precedents set by the first naval
Governor Of Guam, Rear Admiral Richard T.
Leary. Governor Le3Ty carried with him. when
he departed for his island jurisdiction an over
flowing energy and many ingenious and start
ling schemes of governmental benevolence 1t
viii be remembered that he promulgated a code
whose paternalistic novelties startled the
King OF SPANS eX-subjects hardened as they
Y ere TO the eccentricIties Of absolute rule The
new American Governor forbade the sale IF
land without his consent, practically abolished
the sale Of liquors, cut down TO a -beggar's
dozen the interminable list Of holidays observed
by native piety and native Incidence and or
dered wholesale administration Of the mar
riage ceremony. For his zeal and courage as a
reformer he was dubbed the "Autocrat OF
Guam" But his rule. though rigorous was eff
caciOus and wholesome. and if the natives
grumbled. they never thought Of carrying their
irritations to any court of federal review.
Tie Governor IN one case. however trod on

1t appears that Lieutenant Stafford Of the

Learys assistants, obtained possession by pur-
chase Of one Of the few habitable houses in

forts far exceeded those Of the executive man
SION and Governor Leary finally determined 10
buy II for MS oficial home. Lieutenant Stafford

equitable. So after much argument and fric-
ten. the resourceful ruler Of Guam condemned
the property by right Of eminent domain, and
proceeded 10 occupy it,
Lieutenant Stafford declined 20 accept tie

Guam has had two new Governors since Ad-
miraI Learys day. but it is still ruled under
