days would not have been large enough and
productive enough to support the more than
100000 Jews now living. In the next
place the great mass of Jewish people could
not go to Palestine if they would, and would
not be willing to live there if they could.
They have nothing in common but their
creed. They speak as many languages as
were spoken at the tower of Babel, and the
proof of it is that the handful of frenzied
Zionists assembled at Basic have not been
able themselves to get harmonized without
a fight because they are not agreed upon
creed ritual, let alone upon form of govern
ment.
While the majority of Jews now living
under monarchical governments might be
content to live in a kingdom, very large
fraction would spurn the very idea OF mon
archy and blow it up with dynamite rather
tached sincerely to the various countries of
their birth or adoption, and could not be re-
called to Zion even if Gabriel blew his horn.
The scheme to create new Zion in
British East Africa is more preposterous and
hare Drained if such thing could be, than
the proposed rehabilitation of the Jewish
state in Palestine 1t has absolutely no
merit and is no more feasible than any other
scheme of colonization that has been offered
for the oppressed Jews, who are grooming
under the iron rule of the Gar. Its sum-
mary rejection by the Basic conference
should convince it's we'll meaning but unbal-
anced advocates that it has no more attrac-
ton for the oppressed and prosecuted than

have had on their ancestors after they had
crossed the Red Sea on their way to the

Causes of Persecution.

DR.. Syrkin, one Of the leaders of the ad-
vanced Russian Zionists, who in at
tendance at the Zionist Congress- has given
the following interview to the correspond
ent of the Publishers Press:
1.-The outlook for the Russian Jews is
very dark. The government has used siren
nous efforts to annhilate the entire Jewish
population. If the Gar, General Trepoff and
others who influence the administration of
affairs did not fear the opinion of other coun-
tries, they would Immediately order the mas
sacre of every Jewish man, woman and
child.
1.-The reason for the enmity of the gov
eminent toward the Jews is that they form
the energetic revolutionary element They
have been the pioneers in the political re-
form movement, bearing the brunt of the Of
fetal resistance to the democratic movement.
The entire population will reap the future
harvest of the Jews courage and will rec
ognize the Jews as the saviors of the Russian
nation. Remove the Jews and the Russian
reform movement would collapse
1.-The government stimulates the anti
Semitic feeling among the upper classes for
political reasons. The hatred of the lower
classes is due to envy.
The thrifty, frugal, industrious Jews
outstrip the lazy, prodigal Russians. The
Jews form a separate exclusive caste and
diSdain intermarriage intercourse with
the interior Russians
1T is great mistake to regard Jew
batting in Russia the persecution of
lower race by a predominant people. 1t
of the degraded masses against superior
race. The anti-Semitic forces are so power
full, however, that the outlook is hopeless.
The creation of refuge in the shape Of an
autonomous Jewish state elsewhere is the
only solution of the question:

Frenzied ZiOnism

Among the traditions most cherished by
orthodox Jews is the promised revival of the
kingdom of God through the restoration of
Palestine to the children of Israel. The re-
turn to Zion, however, has been receding
with the procession of the centuries and ap-
pears more remote now than 1t has ever been
since the destruction of Jerusalem by the
Roman legions under Titus. Yet the trad1-
ton of the restoration to Zion is kept alive
from generation to generation and the
prayer next year in Jerusalem is fervently
offered at each recurring festival of the
Passover, that commentaries the emancipa-
ton of Israel from Egyptian bondage.
A revival of the ancient tradition within
recent years under the name OF "Zlonlsm
by frenZied Missionaries who mistake the I'M
rest among the Jews of Russia and Rouma-
MIA a worldwide yearning for the restora-
ton of the kingdom of Israel, tends to create
the impression that the movement has the
universal assent of all who profess the faith.
The recognized leaders of the Zionist move
ment have been DR.. HerZl, who died within
the past year, Israel Zangwill and Max Nor
dau. Although distinguished in the realm
of literature Zangwll and Nordau are, when
it comes to practical affairs, and especially
state building, mere dreamerS OF dreams,
who do not seem to comprehend that mod
ern Judaism is as much at variance with IL
onism as the government of modern Egypt
is at variance with the government of the
pyramid builders.

English and American Jewish
PHILANTHROPY

Moses A. Dropsie's bequest of 100000
for a college of Jewish learning and litera-
ture in Philadelphia, calls out the following
editorial in the London Jewish Chronicle:
Particulars have just come to hand OF
remarkable scheme elaborated in the inter-
ests of Jewish learning. Mr.. Moses A. Drop
Sic an American lawyer, who was president
of the Gratz College at Philadelphia and
was closely associated with Jewish educa-
tional work, has bequeathed, by his will,
sum of close to 100000, for the purpose
of establishing college for the study OF
Hebrew, the Bible, and Rabbinical litera-
ture. Not the least interesting feature OF
this splendid bequest is that the college is
not to be confined to Jews, but is to be open
to all corners, without distinction of creed
sex. The reason for keeping the door so
wide open is founded, says the testator, on
the belief that the branch of knowledge he
desires to see cultivated is not readily &C
cessible in general institutions of learning,
and the conviction that such knowledge
would be of great usefulness to the general
community. The will goes on to say that
1.-The increasing need in the United States OF
a more thorough and systematic education
in Jewish lore has long been felt, and is
matter of sOlicitude to true 1SraeliteS who
cherish the religion of their ancestors There
should be founded an institution devoted to
the study in it's most complete form OF the
Bible and the whole Jewish literature. To
effect this purpose, order and direct that
there be established and maintained in the
city of Philadelphia college for the pro-
motion of and instruction in the Hebrew and
cognate languages and their respective liter
ature, and in the Rabbinical learning and lit

erature. If the funds of the college will per-
nit, other languages and branches of learn
ing may from time to time be added, but
these additions must not in any wise impair
the efficiency of the instruction in the Semitic
language and Rabbinica learning, my pri-
mary object being that, as far as possible,
every branch of knowledge shall be taught
in the said college requisite for the attain
ment of ripe scholarship in Hebrew, the BIZ
BILE and Rabbinical literature with which
should be connected original Investigations
and research"
The college, adds the will, is to be adj
ministered by number of governors, who
must be Jews sympathizing with the tesla
tors views as above expressed This pro-
vision will ensure that the administration
and spirit of the institution should be Jew
ish, in spite of the religious cosmopolitan
ism of the students. The fact that no dis
tinctions of creed are made is all to the
good 1t will conduce to better understand
ing of Jews and Judaism, and will rightly
encourage reverent study of Jewish l1tera-
ture in any quarter where the necessary
ability may be found, thus adding to the gen
eral stock of knowledge. So far as the Jew
ish students are concerned, this princely be-
quest offers a magnificent opportunity for
education and research. 1t is astonishing to
think that a country which already boasts
two great institutions for Jewish study-the
Theological Seminary of New York and the
Hebrew Union College-should now be the
Coming upon the heels of the big endowment
fund recently raised for the Hebrew Union
College, this latest bequest serves, like the
production of the Jewish Encyclopedia"
and the proposed creation of an American
Jewish Quarterly Review, to show that the
Jewish learning of the United States is de-
termined to assert itself. 1t also proves that
American Judaism is living force, resolved
to leave it's impress on the Judaism of the
future; and what the vast section of our race
that has been gathered on the other side OF
the Atlantic will do with the ancient faith is
a matter of the deepest interest to all our
people. We only wish that English Jews
evinced the same solicitude for their litera-
ture as their American brethren. Here and
there Goldsmith or a Montefiore endows
a chair POUNDS Review, but the founding
of Hebrew college with an endowment
fund of some G15O,O00 seems a far-off
dream too remote for serious consideration.
1t will be interesting to see the result of the
appeal for an endowment fund which Jews
College is about to make. Meanwhile, even
SO humble an enterprise as the Union OF
Jewish Literary Societies languishes for the
wherewithal to labor and live.

Henderson. Texas, Nov. 13.-Follow-
| ing the lynching Of three negroes by
mob at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, the town has been been quiet. The
dangling bodies were cut down when
the mob had dispersed and were placed
in a corridor of the court house by
Sheriff Stone while all morning they
were viewed by hundreds of people,
both white and black. The citizens de-
plore the tragedy but lay no blame on
the officers, recognizing the fact that
they made whatever efforts they could
to protect their prisoners.
The first reliablbe news Of mob
forming came to Sheriff Stone about
o'clock Saturday night, when he began
to take steps to avoid the hanging by
sending Senator Chas. l.. Brachfield
and F. l.. Young TO the place where
the mob was forming three miles north
of the city, to talk to the people and
insist on their waiting until the court
had an opportunity to act, and prom
Using them that the court would meet
on the 22nd.
Their appeals failed to have any eff
feet, and when they appeared in the
city limits Sheriff Stone appeared be-
fore them and made strong appeal to
his friends in the crowd not to take
advantage of his condition, but to give
him an opportunity to protect his pris-
oners. All his appeals failed to arouse
any sympathy, and the crowd marched
toward the Jail Here the sheriff made
another stand, and he and his deputies
stood against the Jail door and con-
juncture speeches were made Oy Coun-
ty Judge w. w Moore, r. T. Brown
and Senator Brachfield, urging the peo-
pie to let the law take its course, as
surfing that the courts and juries of
Rusk county would act speedily and
mete out Justice to these offenders.
After listening to what was said,
about ten of the young men in the
crowd approached the officers. and af-
ter fierce struggle secured them.
Being unable to secure the keys, they
proceeded with chisels and hammers to
tear down the doors of the Jail, and
thirty minutes after the work began,
they had the prisoners in charge,
bound with ropes around their necks.
The prisoners were then given an OPP
portunity TO make statements, and all
declared their innocence except VIII
