Possibly some of the more orthodox
Jews in Germany, France. Great B;i.ain
and the United States would feel impelied
to go there for religious reasons. but the
younger generation a4oes not evince any
such desire. especially those in America.
They say frankly 1.-The United States is
good enough for Hs.- We will stay here.
Unless these vigorous. progressive young
men go. there is small hope for the coun-
build it up # it is to- be built. The igno-
rant Russians sad Po,es have little ca
pacity. and would probably starve if left
to themselves on the arid soil of Palestine.
Quite decided movement toward co.oniz-
ing Palestine was begun some years ago.
many Jews going there. but the colonies
so far have not been wholly successful 1t is
too early. however to say whether they
have in them the elements of success. The
Jews who have gone have proven to he
poor farmers, and have made little pro
gress. They have been living in crowded
cities for so many generations that they
know nothing of agriculture, and have no
farming spirit. There has been enough
lack of success so far to give n check TO
those who are not ardent in the Zionist
movement.
In the meanwhile Great Britain goes to
last August with an offer of a tract of
$4,000 square miles in British East
Africa. or territory approximatiHg the
size of Texas, which the Jews could hold
under an autonomous Government of their
| own. subject only to the overlordship of
| the British Crown. The territory abounds
| in fertile lands, has railroads running
through it, with Bombasa, an excellent
| seaport.
| 1t now exports great quantities of gum.
| ivory, rubber, cattle and hides, and has
high plateaus affordng rich pasturage for
the great herds. 1t will he remembered
that the Jews under Abraham and Isaac
were very successful at stock raising, and
it seems that this would be a good Oppor-
| tunity to return to their hereditary occu-
patton. The offer created great deal of
excitement in the Congress, where it was
'lo'entiF opposed Dy those VINO were Sentl-
mentally in favor of a return to Palestine
The Congress voted, however, by 227 to
| III. to appoint committee to visit the
land and investigate it, Those who fav-
ore1 the acceptance of the offer insist that
it will not initiate against the recreatiou
of Zion in Palestine. but will give their
people an opportunity to become consoli
dated in race and religious unity and pre-
pare them for Zion. If they can develop
into a self-supporting self-governing com
munity. they will he the reader to reoc.

zIoNIsM.

The whole world IL deeply interested in
the progress Of the Zionist movement
which seems to be taking deeper hold upon
the Jews each year. The original idea
was to gather the Jews who were suffer
ing persecution In Russia and elsewhere
into Palestine, give them a start in life
and enable them to reclaim the Holy Land,
and make 1t what 1t was in Biblical times.
The religious aspect Of this appeals power
fully to all Christian people. who look for
ward to the restoration Of the Jews to the
Promised Land as one of the things GER
tain to como. The difficulties In the way
are not regarded as insurmounta BILE.
Palestine Is part Of the vilayet of Syria,
and tho Turkish Government could be
probably induced to give 1t large meas
ure of self-goyernment for a comparative
ly small cash consideration. That is, II
a revenue would be offered the Sultan
equal to or little greater than that which
he now draws from the country, he would
be willing to accept 1t. Revenue is what
the Porte wants from the country, and the
surer and easier 1t La gotten the better.
1t would come moro easily and surely
through the guarantee Of Great Britain,
France and other powers, than IL collected
through the ordinary channels of the Turk
ish officials. The European Nations would
also insure tho safety of Palestine against
the depredations Of the surrounding tribes
until the Jews could protect themselves
This scheme would not lack proper fnan-
cial support II it once looked feasible, be-
cause the wealthy Jews and Christians al
over the world would not hesitate to con.
tribute to It. The main question IL whsth
er thu Jews would 60 thithsr if they were
promised proper protection and the occu
pancy of the land. Probably those from
Russia. Romania and elsewhere, where
they have been subject to frightful perss
cutions, would only be too glad to 90, but
they lack the means to make tho migra
ton and to sustain themselves after they
have settled there. 1t will require q great
deal of money to bring Palestine back to
its former condition. A large part Of tn,
land has to b irrigated, and the bitches
and reservoirs have been destroyed in the
thousands Of years Of wasting war b
which the land has been subjectsl.

FOREIGN PENSIONERS.

With the assault upon the pension sys-
tenn was a loud cutlery against the num-
rber of foreigners residing outside of the
United States, and this was taken up by
the Southern papers with great assiduity.
as supporting their claims that the South
was overrun by mercenaries hired abroad.
There never was the slightest statistical
basis for this claim of the South. be-
cause the records of enlistments show
that s. per cent. @; the men who served
in the Union army were native born. OF
the remaining 10 per cent. of those for
cign born. possibly one-half. if not more,
had been born abroad. but had been
brought to this country when they We're
so young that they grew up as thorough
Americans as those born here. 1t never
was the slightest consequence where a
man was born, so long as he became Il
bona fide resident of the country and was
willing to fight in support of her institu-
tons. 1t is interesting, however, to study
the Commissioner of Pensions report and
see how few out of the great mass of pen
sioners have returned to their native place
or live beyond the limits of the United
States. Out of the total of 99l ,S3S pen
sioners on the rolls but 400 reside out
side the limits Of the United States, and
of these 80 are in Hawaii, or the Philip
pines. including Guam, and Porto Rico.
The remainder are scattered all over the
world in most surprising manner.
There is hardly civilized country with
out at least one. Only portion of these
can be natives Of the country where they
now reside. the remainder being adveh-
turous. enterprising veterans, who have
gone thither for business or social reasons
or possibly because they thought their
health would benefit by il. The largest
number. of course, is in Canada. since
we had several thousand Canadians in
New York and New England regiments.
Besides. there has been quite an emiGra-
ton from the West into Northwestern pro
vinces of Canada. Germany has about
one fourth as many as Canada, but these
are probably men who came to this coun-
try to make it their home. but have for
various reasons returned to the father
land.
Next in number is Ireland, which can
be expected, by the propensity of the Irish
men to get into any fight that is going on.

AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.

Admittedly one of the very finest, IL moi
the finest, speech made at the recent great
Reunions Of the Armies of the Ohio, Ten
nessee and the Cumberland at Washington
was that made by Chief
John G. Black at the great banquet at the
Arlington, Friday evening, Oct. 10. Il
was an earnest, dignifed. forceful appeal
for justice to the old and needy veterans
of the country, and made in Gen. Blacks
very best manner. Though Gen. Black
was far from well during his stay in
Washington, his old wounds troubling him
sorely, his brain was never clearer, his
manner never better and his language
never stronger or more impressive. He
pointed out what the veterans had done
for the country, how It had prospersd b.
yond the Imagination of man, and from
every land in the world wealth ID now
pouring into it in golden streams, and 10
was eminently right, proper and just that
in this day Of plenty the aged and stricken
men who had made all this possible, and:
the poor widows Of such, should be prop
erly remembered and not allowed to eat
the bitter bread of cold charity. The
speech made profound impression upon
all who heard it, and will undoubtedly do
an immense amount of good in helping to
farm public opinion in favor of Just and
proper service pension.

SOUTH cARoLINA's SHAME.

South Carolina has deliberately chosen
the worser part, released a cold -blooded,
cowardly murderer and said to the world
that any man who thinks he has a griev-
ance is at liberty to lie In wait for his vic
tim and shoot him down without mercy.
The acqrittal Of Ex-Lieut.-Gov. James FL.
Tillman is without a shadow of justifca-
ton. If laws against premedtated murder
mean anything then Tiliman had violated
them to the utmost. The evidence educed
or his side would not have been given any
value whatever by the jury of any other
State. The injuries which he claimed to
have received at the hands of the murder.

ing for an opportunity. he gave his vic.
tim no chance for self-defense, but shot
him down with as little mercy as though
he had been wild beast There is only
one consoling thought When things &c,
desperately bad there is a chance for radi.
cal improvement, and the situation in
South Carolina seems to be as hopeIessly
bad rs it can te in community claiming
civilization.

IT HAS been pointed out that only four
years ago the United States army had
serious work before it in establishing the
National authority in the Philippines, but
to-day q detachment Of Filipino mechanics
and laborers are hard at work erecting a
100000 building in st. Louis to exhibit
the wonderful resources of the archipelago.
There is suggestiveness as to this in con-
nection with the Louisiana Purchase En-
position, because 100 years ago the opposi-
fion to the acquisition Of the Province Of
Louisiana was much more bitter than the
anti-imperialists' outcry Of to-day. A very
large number of earnest, patriotic gentle
men whose advice had always been listen
ed to with respect, were sure beyond a
doubt that the acquisition Of the Swamps
md bayous of Louisiana with their alien
population and hated religion was a thing
which would result in untold evils to the
country Others were sure that it would
mean no less than q dissolution OF the
Union, and so on through the gamut. II
Is within the certainties that we shall no,
have to wait anything like a century for
the acquisition Of the Philippines to be
extoled, as highly as the Louisiana Pur
chase now is, as an act Of the highest
wisdom and craftsmanship. The resource:
of the Philippines are boundless, and ar,
only waiting American energy to develoI
.hem into a source Of the highest wealth
Before another 10 years the trade with thu
Orient will become SO enormous that W,
can not get along without the Philippine
