THE PROSECUTED JEW.

That part of the republican plat
form which promises vigorous ef.
forts to protect American citizens in
foreign lands sounds empty enough
To those Of our Jewish fellow citizens
who are familiar with recent Efforts
OF Congressman Henry NJ. GOldfOgle,
audo'h"r-. to secure from the RoOse-
Welt administration a demand upon
the Eussian government for uniform
treatment OF American citizens hold
ing our passports.
Last April the House of Repre-
srotatives adopted ii resolution re-
ques,U@ tne President Of the United
States 10 open negotiations with the
Russian government to secure uni
form treatment for American citi-
z"nS travelling or sojourning abroad.
Russia does not allow American
citizens of Jewish faith to enter her
territory. The congress of the
United States has repeatedly, since
April, 1872, asked the president to
iuterposc his protest to this treat
mrnt. He has failed to act, and
Secretary Hay has said the matter
would not he taken up.
Ia 50 far as the Roosevelt admins
tration has failed to act in this mat
ter it has become party TO the nasty
persecution of the Jewish people.

If the world persists in its persecu-
ton of the Jew he will eventually
rule the world.

than you can kill a great cause.
Under the persecution of more
shan 1000 years the Jew has kept
his racial vigor in a wonderful way.
The autonomy of the race is one of
the marveIs of history. Subjected !
to prescription and injustice the jew
has cultivated endurance and tenaci-
ty. Discipline has but made him
strong Like the oak tree he has
leaned against the storm and sent
his roots down deeper.
No other people has thus held its
own.
Nations and tribes and tongues
have been swallowed up by the
stronger and the filter Race after

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran. of New York,
in a speech made recently before
Tammany Hall, characterized the diff
ference between Democracy and Re-
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are a party of principle.
They follow principle and value 1t
more than profit. Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have diff
fered about the Philippines, about the
tariff, the gold question, about Cuba,
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their diff
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance of getting posses
sion of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo
Gratis, on the other side have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, in
fact, is a faith, and Repubhcanism is
an appetite"

THEPUBLIC PAYS AS USUAL

Decrying the trusts and speaking
more particularly of the Meat Trust,
and the strike which was only recently
ended in the packing houses the New
York Telegram drives the point home
in the following editorial observation:
Naturally, some one has to pay for
all this. The employees are paying
their share in a way, in being com
PEELED to go back to work at the old
wage. But the real payment, the one
that takes shape in dollars and cents.
is being paid, as it usually is, by the
public, by those who had no interest
in the strike.
"The rate at which you are paying
is in evidence on every restaurant bill
of fare. Even in the cheaper ones,
places where they do not indulge in
the luxury of printing their menu
cards daily, you will find red ink vari.
atoms on former prices"

A CONTRAST.

THE Presidents Dream of War" as
contrasted with Judge Parker's plea
for peace" is the dominating idea of
a campaign card being distributed by
the National Democratic Committee.
On the diverse appears the follow
ing:
PRESIDENTS DREAM OF WAR.
If we ever grow to REGARD
PEACE AS A PERMANENT CONDI-
TION, and feel that we can afford to
let the keen, fearless, Yirile qualities
of heart and mind and body sink into
disuse, we will prepare the way for
inevitable and shameful disaster in
the future From speech by Mr..
Roosevelt, when Governor, before New
York Republican Club, February 10,
1899.
The military establishment of the
United States, exclusive of pensions,
will, under four years of Roosevelt, in
a time of profound peace, have cost
$5l5,0OO,0OO more than under four
years of Cleveland.
This is the reverse of the document:
PARKER'S PLEA FOR PEACE.
The display of great military arma-
ments may please the eye, and, for
the moment, excite the pride of the
citizen, but it cannot bring to the coun.
try the brains, Drawn and muscle of
a single immigrant, nor reduce the in
vestment here of a dollar of capital
OF course, such armament as may be
necessary for the security of the coun-
try and the protection of the rights
of its citizens, at home or abroad,
must be maintained. l protest, how
ever, against the feeling that, by rea-
son of the commanding position we
have assumed in the world, we must
take part in the disputes and broils of
foreign countries. and that because We
have grown great we should intervene
il every important question that arises
in other parts of the world. From

A VICIOUS AMENDMENT.

Among the amendments to the
state constitution to be voted for at
the general election next month is
one providing for the establishment
of IA court of record in the several
counties of the state and providing
that such courts of record shall have
exclusive jurisdiction of all criminal
cases, not capital, and all civil cases
of law in which the demand, or
amount of property involved, does
not exceed one thousand dollars,
and, further, giving exclusive juris-
dictiOn to such courts relating to for
chile entry and detainer of lands and
trnements.
The amendment is loosely drawn,
ana is bound to result in conflict and
confusion if adopted.
1t gives to one court civil and
criminal jurisdiction, and will in
crease count expenses, and taxes, in
each county.
1t would take away from the minor
courts County Judges and Justice 5
Courts jurisdiction to try small
cases and thus deprive the poor man
of the right to go into these courts
and have his small claims and ac-
counts adjusted and collected speedi-
ly in an informal way, and without
great expense.
The amendment proposes a radical
change in our judicial system, and
should be defeated. 1t can serve no
purpose except to furnish few more
jobs for the people to maintain.

A courteous letter to the editor
from the chairman of the state dem
ocratic executive committee, makes
the MODEST request that this pa
per take down the name of w. n.
Holloway, who was nominated for
State Superintendent of Public In
struction by direct vote in the pri-
mary and substitute therefor the
name of Jemmet Wolfe, the indie
pendent candidate. The News must
decline this request. 1t is not in the
business of encouraging independ-
entism.

The Weekly Tallahassean sizes up
the Holloway problem as follows:
First, he is the party nominee-n not
"A saint forsOOth, but in all probabili-
ty as good as the self-confessed law
breaker from Escambia county.
Second, if found guilty by the courts
of the charge made against him, the
governor cannot commission HollO-
way, even though elected, because a
criminal is disqualified from holding
office in this state. There would be
some chance to get rid of Holloway,
if guilty. while there would be no
chance to get Wolfe out if elected.
And nothing being gained for educa-
ton by the committee, Holloway is
entitled to the election.
