FIRST is impossible. History proves that.
Some things Republicans can do. To
economic is not one of the things
Notwithstanding their efforts to re-
trench, the bills still mount higher and
higher. The third | have already dis
cussed This leaves only the second.
A contemplation of that must give the
Republican statesmen a bad case of
mulligrubs, for it, too, has its dangers,
practically there are only two sources
from which they can increase their in
come by raising internal revenue taxes
tobacco in its various forms and spir-
ituous and malt liquors. The persons
man endeavor. constitute a powerful
and thoroughly organized class, who
fight for their profits coura geously and
effectively. Do the Republican lead
ers dare to offend them? Hardly, for
they can hurl them from power be-
twixt sun and SUM- So the Republican
chieftains are poor things, betwixt the
devil and the deep blue sea- If they
tax coffee the coffee drinkers will swat
them. If they raise the tax on beer
and whisky and tobacco and cigars
those interested therein will pull them
down. If they issue new bonds they
will at once become the laughingstock
for men and angels, considering. what
they have said about G. C. and his i'll
starred performances. They seem to
be doomed-a delightful prospect for
honest men.

PWN HE big stick policy is meeting
with some difficulties. Even
after the senate had emascu-
lated the Santo Domingo treaty
it failed to ratify it and adjourned,
leaving it suspended betwixt heaven
and earth after the manner of Moham-
med's coffin Perhaps that was only
an easy way Of letting the president
down easy The chances are that it
will never be ratified. The more people
reflect upon Uncle Sam setting up as
receiver general for all the bankrupt
republics in this hemisphere the less
they will like it, Then the idea of
our government assuming the role of
bad debt collector for spectators in
foreign countries, as some mighty per-
sonages would have us do in the Nene-
zuelan matter, is likely to prove re-
pugnant to public sentiment when cool
ing time IS allowed. On the whole, it
is a good time for reflection We should
take a long look ahead and carefully
count the consequences before we take
what Benjamin Disraeli was wont to
characterize as "a leap in the dark.
1t is better to think first and then act
than to act first and then think. Post
mortem regrets never yet did any good.
Our old policy made us great and
strong and safe. Wherefore change it?
Better bear the ills we have than tiy
to others we know not of.

From time to time we have been re
galed by the jingo organs with the
transparent fable that, while the Fill
pinos were wicked set of rebels and
the Hawaiians an ungrateful gang OF
soreheads because the latter howl for
and the former fight for local self gov
ernment. our dutiful subjects in Porto
Rico were model appurtenances, happy
as CLAIMS at high tide, gratefully ac-
cepting whatever Uncle Sam chooses
to bestow. That this is all fairy tale
is demonstrated by the latest news
from our West Indian colony to the
effect that these model Porto Ricans
are clamorous for local self govern
mental except our satraps and their
understrappers.

Political Grand Larceny.

Finally the Republican freebooters
of Colorado managed to rob Governor
Alva Adams of the gubernatorial office
which had been bestowed upon him by
the people of the Centennial State.
Since another gang of Republicans
robbed Samuel ]. Tilden of the presi.
dency this Colorado performance is
the greatest crime against free govern
ment committed on this continent or
anywhere else
Once in Pike county, Mo, there lived
a wit named Sid Shaw One night iii
st. Louis he bucked a faro bank till
his last cent was gone In the gray
of the morning friend met Sid and,
noting his disheveled appearance and
forlorn countenance, said, sid. what's
the matter?" whereupon Sid replied,
Il have been playing the ID fool
and have nothing to show for itt' The
same remark is applicable to ex-Gov-
ernor Peabody. He was fairly and
squarely beaten by Governor Adams,
but at once began contest because
he knew that there was Republican
hAJCiIt9 III LIE itsistululS anu AAt-
publican supreme court on the bench.
Even with these accessories he could
not get the office which he coveted.
The legislature could not be induced to
seat him unless he would agree to re-
sign and let Lieutenant Governor Nc
Donald have the office of governor.
And it was 50 done, to the lasting in
fanny of all concerned. The chances
are that if ex-senator Wolcott had not
died in the nick of time this monstrous
outrage on the people of Colorado
would not have been consummated, for
he hated Peabody and all his works.
His dying message to his followers i'll
the legislature was to stand firm. It's
clear that if Peabody was entitled to
serve one day he was equally entitled
to serve the whole term, but unless he
was declared governor the Republican
lieutenant governor could not be made
governor. Consequently the Republic
an majority in the legislature stultified
itself and committed political grand
larceny by seating Peabody for one
day with his resignation already sign
ed. sealed and delivered. They would
not accept his promise; they must have
it in black and white and in safe
hands.

That illustrious Republican reformer
and apostle of sweetness. purity and
light is still pressing his candidacy for
the United States senate in Delaware.
His understudy, Senator Alice. pro-
poses to resign if the legislature will
elect his patron. Once there was wo-
man who married a man to get rid of
him. Perhaps the Delaware legislature
will finally elect Addicks for the same
reason. but any reason would satisfy
Addicks. He's not after reasons. What
he wants and means to have if money
will buy it is a senatorial toga.

him. Few men have ever held three

Brothers and Sisters of Zion:
The twice-told tale is being repeated,
and we are again mourners. All of Is
rael is now as Mother Rachel weeping
for her children and the blood Of our
brothers and sisters is crying out to us
from the lands of oppression. We, who
are their brothers and sisters in the hope
of Zion, must answer their cry.
This is not time for parties and for
factions, it is not a time for putting for
religious views. It is time to empha-
size the principle upon which our Zion
ism is based-the unity of Isreal.
1t is our duty, therefore, as Zionists
to unite with our fellow-Jews of all
shades of belief in order that, by this
unity of action, Israel may be relieved
Of some of his distress. This is a time
for the giving of immediate relief. 1t is
not time for theories. Alas, that our
national feelings must be stirred to the
very depths by such caldmities!
Every Zionist society is herewith
called upon to join the Jewish Defense
Association, which was formed in New
York on Monday, Nov. 6. This associa
ton is composed of societies representing
all shades Of opinion in Jewry, both
radical and conservative
Societies are asked to send to this Of
flee a word signifying their union with
this association. It is expected that the
Jewish Defense Association will embrace
thousands Of societies throughout the
land.
The Jewish Defense Association is
collecting funds both for the relief of
distress and for the self-defense of Jews.
Two funds have been created--a relief
fund and self-defense fund. Every
contributor has the right Of designating
the fund to which his money shall be
given. Those monies received without
designation will be divided equally be-
tween the two funds. The headquar-
ters Of the association is at 165 East
Broadway.
! Societies are asked to hold meetings
for the sake of collecting funds, if pos
'sible, in conjunction with other Jewish
societies: and if this be not possible, to
hold them alone.
