RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.
Count Cassini's Comment on Feeling In
This Country.

Count Cassini the Russian ambassador,
leaves Washington for New York tomor-
row and next Wednesday he sails on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II for Europe. where he
will spend his summer vacation. He says
he Is returning to Russia with sense or
some personal satisfaction that the tradi-
tionally good relations between his govern
ment and that of the United States. which
he has sought in every way to foster during
the five years he has represented the en-
pire of the car at Washington, have not
been disturbed.
He says he is especially gratified that the
popular disposition in this country to hold
the Russian government responsible for the
deplorable events at kishineff, arising out
of the quick sympathy OF the American peo-
pie following the first report Of the affair,
had been succeeded by calmer and more
reasonable view. The prompt and ener-
getic measures taken by his government. he
pointed out, demonstrated concluSively
that not only were the limitations that the
Russian government had connived at what
occurred at Kishineff, which were insisted
upon in certain quarters Of this country.
preposterous, but that everything which
the government mad done since showed not
only that 1t had no sympathy with the af-
fair but that it deprecated 1t as much as
any foreign country could. The governor OF
the province had been removed and the
authors of the occurrence had been punished
as far as possible, and the government had
taken energetic measures to prevent rep
etition of similar troubles In other places
where anti-Jewish sentiment prevailed
He called attention to the dispatch from
Berlin telling of the action taken at Nov
gorod Sjewersk to quiet the Jewish popula-
ton there when they were seized with
panic over possible recurrence of anti
Jewish trouble at that point as further
proof, If proof were needed, that his govern
ment had not and did not countenance war

and Prince GalitZen and several priests of

The feeling Of my government and Of
my governments people toward the United
States" said the ambassador, u.s. and has
been for years, most friendly toward Amer
lea and the American people, and the rela-
lions between the two governments have
been most cordial. To disturb these rela-
lions owing to false impressions conceived
in hostile quarters would be most deplor-

Fiiibustering Senators.

The old mossback Republican Sena-
tors have trouble Of their own these
days. The oligarchy whose word has
been law in the United States Sen
ate. find themselves opposed by a ma
jority who are intent on giving state
hood to the territories. The bill adj
hitting the territories passed the
House of Representative by a large
majority and evidently has a majority
in the Senate. but the oligarchy and
it's followers are filibustering to pre-
vent a vote. The Republican national
platforms Of 1900 declared for state
hood for the territories in the follow
ing plain language:
we favor the home rule for and
the early admission TO statehood Of.
the territories Of New Mexico. Ari-
IONA and Oklahoma
But this national declaration Of pur-
nose bv the Republican party is now
being ignored by its leaders and Sen
ator Hanna said in the debate on the
bin that the admission Of the terri
tories was not a political Issue and no
Republican Senator should be held ac-
countabIe for the wording OF the plat
form. before il Is an issue and had
been discussed. This notification of
planks in platforms BY the chairman
of national organizations. Is new
move in politics and may prove a
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1903-02-10

boomerang after the next Republican
national platform is adopted. Senator
Hanna's statement, which appears to
have been endorsed by the Republican
oligarehy, puts the public on notice
that planks in Republican platforms
are not considered binding on Repub-
lican Congressman who can invent any
slight excuse for evading the same.
The statement Of Senator Hanna that
the admission of the territories Is not
a political issue is the more extraordi-
nary when 1t is known that every
Democratic Senator favors the bill and
a majority of the Republican Senators
are opposing it in spite of the express
ed declaration of their platform. If
that does not make a political issue.
there has never been one before the
Senate. The history of the United
States shows that the admission of
territories has always been a burning
political issue, based on the expecta-
ton that the party favorlng admission
expected the new States to vote with
them. These political expectations
have not always been realized and. In
the case Of Nevada, which was admit
ted for express partisan purposes. the
chickens have come home to roost and
the Democrats now have the advant-
age Of the vote of that State.
There are, however, other political
exigencies back of this prolonged fight
for the admission of the territories, If
the time of the Senate Is occupied with
this bill, it will exclude antitrust legis-
lation and other House bills that are
