JEWS aEeAINIne PALESTINE.
Practical Progress Of zionists IN Re-
cent Years.

Practical Progress Of zionists IN Re-
cent Years.
Dispatches from Jerusalem, says a
London letter to the New York Sun.
tell of remarkable strides made dur
ing the last few years in the repeop-
| ling of Palestine with Jews. The proc
lamation of the constitution In Tur-
key threw open the doors Of Palestine
and led to an enormous influx Of jew
ish colonists, who are already settled
on some of the best lands of the coun-
try.
In Jerusalem alone four-fifths Of the
population now belongs to the jewish
faith. Large tracts Of land around
Lake Tiberias have been bought up
from poor natives and converted into
prosperous farms. The Plain Of Sha-
ron, between Jaffa and LYDIA, is one
vast garden owned and tended by Jew
ish skill and labor. The Hauran, one
Of the most fertile wheat districts In
the world, is being sold to Jewish syn
dicates.
Almost the whole Of the extensive
Plain Of Esdraelon has been bought up
by Jews. Their prosperous colonies
spread from Dan to Beersheba, and
even further south to the outskirts OF
Egypt. Thousands are escaping from
Persia to find shelter and protection
In the Holy Land, while every ship
from Odessa carries some Of them.
The Jordan Valley, once the proper
ty of the ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid, Is
being eagerly sought after by Jewish
capitalists. The Zionists. whose agents
are distributed all over the land, are
buying up the rich properties Of the
Mohammedan effendis, whose incomes
since the revolution have lessened.
At Jaffa, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa
Mount CarmeD Jews are reckoned by
tens of thousands Towns like Ra-
moth Gilead, Bethlehem, Nazareth and
GAIA, where a few years ago no Jew
dared show his face, have now their
Jewish quarters and synagogues.
The whole city Of Jerusalem is es-
sentially a Jewish town. Banking as
we'll as trade and commerce is mon
opolized by Jews. The government
has found 1t necessary to organize a
company Of Jewish gendarmes
Hundreds Of thousands Of pounds
are annually sent from Europe and
America to enable the colonists to
build homes, hospitals, schools and
invalid homes. Over one hundred
Jewish schools already exist in Jeru-
salem alone. Synagogues are rising
up everywhere.
The value Of the land has risen four
fold. The ignorant and poverty strick-
en- fellaheen (peasants) are being
ousted from their homes and villages
by the European Jew settler, whose
modern agricultural implements and
methods have made the land produce
harvests never dreamed of by the ma
tives. The Anglo-Palestine company,
a Zionist banking and commercial en-
terprise, is pushing the cause Of Israel
with energy.

SPAIN'S RICH CITY.
Few In America Realize the Indus
trial Wealth of Barcelona.

trial wealth OF 6arceionds
It is not surprising that, If Spain,
always more or less agitated by inter-
nal die ,ntic"', should have serious
troubles, they should centre in BARGE
Iona, says a writer in Lesslie's. The
chief seaport Of the nation Is here,
the greatest industries are here, and
here congregate in great numbers
those grades Of society which are gen.
orally opposed to any organized gov
ernment. Here one finds the richest
and the poorest-both disturbing ele-
ments, but for different reasons-one
complaining Of unequal taxation and
the other Of the restraints which the
government places upon license.
Few people in America realize the
Industrial wealth Of Barcelona or how
much she patronizes us for raw ma
terial. Over 125,00O people are en-
ployed there in the cotton industry
alone, and the exports Of this work
amount to at least s75,O00,O00 annual
ly. A large amount Of the raw cotton
used is purchased in the United States
and shipped from Galveston, Tex. So,
after all, America is more or less in
terested in this section Of Spain. Liv-
ing Is cheaper there than in any other
city in Spain. Rents are marvelously
low, and 1 saw fiat Of fifteen rooms,
with all modern appliances, on the
Fifth avenue Of the city, for which,
the occupant paid $45 per month. In
deed, a very excellent apartment Of
ten rooms can be obtained for $25.
Labor, however, is correspondingly
low, and the working class enjoys few
luxuries. The Catalan works with an
unceasing energy which rather startles
the laborer Of other parts Of Alfonso's
country. Although he listens to agi-
tators, he is often quick to think for
himself, and he fights for what he con-
siders his rights with the same energy,
and the government at Madrid will do
we'll to heed the cry Of this restless
hild before 1t is too late, for that cry
is already finding an echo in northern
Spain.

Democratic candidate for governor
has been formally indorsed by the
antl-saloon league and he must now
be accepted as its official candidate.
What effect this action will have up
on the rank and file of Democrats

precipitated by the radicals in the
league, who seem to be unable to
grasp the idea that state campaign
may possibly cover a broader field
than the mere regulation of the sale

Democratic speaker was met at the

Lind insisted that Mr.. Lende, the

this amenity was doubtless because
the ex-governor son and Mr.. Lende

they have refused 10 do thus far.
Several days ago the woman APP
