The news that Mexico is fortify;ng
 her northern border is interesting. Of
 course it is explained that she doesn't mean anything in particular by it, and
 probably she doesn't. But she is doing it all the same. Meanwhile the Ameri- canization of Mexico goes swiftly on
 It is estimated that citizens of the
 United States have invested in the last
 decade fully s$5OO, 100000 in the republic beyond the Rio Grande. In his annual message President Diaz reported the total railroad mileage of Mexico to be III, 100, with construction steadily in- |creasing. Of the entire capital invested
 80 per cent. is American. Two new systems have been projected-the Isth-
 mus of Tehuantepec line, which is in- tended to compete with our isthmian |canal, and the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient. New harbors are to be created land new steamship lines are to be es- tablished, so that Mexico may trade on a larger scale with the Old World and the New. In these enterprises as in |others the American is the moving spirit. Not only are Uncle Sam's sons providing the Mexicans with transport |ation facilities on land and sea, but they are also teaching the people of the southern republic how to develop their natural resources. At least one-fifth of the total American capital in Mexico is invested in mines and smelters. In ad- dition there are American sugar refin- |eries, packing houses, tanneries, flour mills, sawmills, electric light and tele- phone plants, street car lines, water works. Nor do the American invaders neglect agriculture. They have invest
 ed at least $2S,oOO,OOo in coffee, tobacco land hemp plantations. The most im- proved machinery has been introduced in the agricultural industry, and the Mexicans are learning from the Amer ican planter how to farm scientifically. Fortunately for Mexico and others, Mexico is not fortified against the in- vasion of United States money and en- terprise

strict sense of the word; and in the sec- ond. the majority of Jews will have nothing to do with zionism. which they consider to be directly contrary to Jew ish interests. Zionism, with its tenden- cy to form a separate nationality. is. he argues. unlikely to obtain equal treat ment in all respects for Jews. Moreover. the movement aIienates a number of persons whose support is generally to be had for humanitarian objects. One of these objects is the creation of set- dement's in suitable regions for Jews who have been driven out of different countries. If nationalist tendencies are to be encouraged this work, he declares, will lose much sympathy which would otherwise be given to it. What is worse. all nationalist schemes interfere with the natural process of assimilation and encourage the practice of placing Jews on separate footing. Zionism. he main- tains. plays into the hands of Anti Semitism, for, starting from analogous premises, it stamps Jewish citizens as foreigners in the land they live in. It is therefore necessary, he concludes, to oppose the Zionist idea, in the interests of progress.

fl REMINDER.

Occasionally proud man gets a sharp reminder that he is thoughtlessly pranc- ing around among forces that don't pay much attention to him when they are active. The wild wind blows violently and disrespectsully upon his coat of arms, and the roaring wave drOwns him even though he has his pedigree in his pocket. Yesterdays storm was a sav- age one and it did. savage work. There will be melancholy stories of it's rav- ages. There is some poor consolation in this region in the fact that though the loss and damage are severe enough they are small compared with what was suffered in other localities. We in New England are fortunate in the fact that though we have the justly celebrated New England weather we do not have to live in lear of hurricanes. earth cuakes. volcanic eruptions or tidal waves. Of course we may have one or the other of them at any time, but the general conduct os things around here makes us feel fairly secure.
 The great storm of which we got "the tail end" is a disastrous incident of an uncommonly disastrous year. What more can happen remains to be seen.
 Whatever does happen all there is to do
 is to keep on working or playing until l it happens. It will soon be Thanksgiv- ing. and those who are alive then and have their shirt left can be thankful.

fl CROWDED TOP,

There isn't always room at the top. For instance, the top on the Island of Trinidad is badly crowded. A recent account of the performance there re- veals a singular condition of things. The island is a small one-forty-eigh miles long by thirty-f1ve across, with an area of 1,754 square iniles-carrying 8 population of 275,00O, of whom S5,OOO are Indian eoolies. The revenue of the colony runs to 712,Ss4 pounds and, as is the custom in crown colonies, the ex- penditure is run into heavier figures, no less than 73t,160 pounds being spent in 1901. The, money is squandered in high salaries. The governor receives s25,000 a year: comnandant of the forces gets $6,0OO; an inspector-general of the constabulary, s6,0O0; director of works, s6,000; surgeon-general, s5,5OO; colonial secretary, s60Oo; chief justice, $75Oo; two puisne judges, $7,5OO each. A protector of immigrants draws $5,0O0. They are all sinecures. -.
 Evidently the top in Trinidad needs thinning out. But probably it will con- tinue to be crowded, for there are peo- pie who must be taken care of.

THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT.

A vigorous attack is made upon the Zionist movement in the Frankfurter Zeitung. which is supposed to repre- sent an important section of educated Jewish opinion. The writer denounces as a gross exaggeration the claim made by some speakers at Basel that the Zionist congresses express the will of the. whole Jewish people. In the first place, he says. although there are many adherents of the Jewish religion, there no longer exists a Jewish people in the
