SAMMARIN. Palestine, April 15. (Spe
:Ial correspondence of the Chicago Rec-ftrd-Herald.)
For many years patriotic
and philanthropic Jews throughout the
world have been promoting a movement to
recover and repeople the Holy Land with
members of their own race and religion;
to reassemble in the Promised Land all
the living children of Israel, for it Is the
land that was given to their fathers by
the Great Jehovah in his covenant with
Jacob. The practical element does not
look upon the proposition with great
favor, but it appeals very strongly to
racial ajid rellclous sentiment, and ita
BGvocates are able to arouse much zea.l
and raise large amounts of mouey to ad
vance It. A Zionist convention or confer
ence Is held annually, to -which delegates
are invited from all Jewish communities
In the world, and measures more or less
practical are formulated and adopted. The
recognized leader of the movement le Dr.
Herzl, editor of the Neue Frele Presse,
one of the leading newspapers of Vienna.
The Individuality of the Jew is stronger
than that of any other race, and he is
prominent in certain fields of activity, but
he has failed as a fighter and as a farmer,
and that is one reason his children are
scattered over the earth. In finance. In
commerce, in Industries of all kinds. In
literature, art. music and various other
lines of usefulness the ability of the Jew
cannot be denied. If any one doubts it,
let him read a book published by Mr.
Strauss, of Ktw York, upon the achieve
ments of the Jewish people, or let him
ride up Broadwaj, New York City, and
look at the signboards upon the build
ings. The finances, the newspapers, the rail
ways, the great Industries of Europe, are
largely controlled by Jews, where their
power is even greater than in the United
States, yet they were elbowed out of Pal
estine," the land which the Lord God said
should be theirs for ever and ever. Be
cause they were poor sailors, they lost
the coasrt; because they were poor farm
ers, they lost the fertile fields; because
they were poor horsemen, they lost the
pastures and Were compelled to confine
their activity to the narrow streets of the
towns. Those hardy seamen, the Phoe
nicians, got the commerce; the Syrians
end Greeks the farms, and the herds and
flocks belong to the sons of Ishmael and
Esau, who still dwell in black tents of
camel's hair. These rival races seldom
mix. They never intermarried; they could
not live -together, but kept their own lines
end thelrpwn trades. The same rules and
conditions prevail today. The Jews, the
Assyrians, the Arabs, the Armenians, the
Turks the Maronltes, the Druses, each
keep their own language, their own cus
toms and habits and their own dress as
tenaciously as their own religion. Each
worships its own gods.
Palestine te first a pastoral and next
an agricultural country. The most valu
able staple is wool; after that wheat,
hides and skins, oil and wine. There Is
no fuel and no water-power, hence there
can be no extensive manufacturing, and
consequently a limited mercantile busi
ness. A considerable portion of the land,
estimates vary between 45 and 62 per cent,
is unproductive, fit only for grazing, and
a Texas ranchman who has been over
the country estimates that over here 10
acres of pasture are needed for every
cheep. Palestine is a small country, not
more than 150 miles In length from Dan
to Beersheba, and an average breadth of
not more than 50 miles. The area of all
Syria, Including Palestine is officially cal
culated at 10S.O00 square' miles, and the
population at between 3,000,000 and 3,500,
000, whlcb gives about 30 inhabitants to
the square mile, or about the same density
of population as the State of Mississippi.
New York State has 122, and Great Britain
809 to the square mile.
Thus it become a question of methemat
ics. The area of Palestine Is estimated at
10,500 square miles and the population 650,
000, or about sixty-two persons to the
6quaro mile, which is very small com
pared with the European countries, and
Is certainly much less than the country
can support. Its productiveness could be
increased many-fold by the introduction
of modern methods and labor-saving machinery-
The land is not half tilled
and the flocks are not half kept. At
the same time it must be remembered
that nearly all of the Hebrew Inheritance
east of the Jordan Is a useless .desert,
and the area west of the Jordan capa
ble of sustaining human life does not
exceed TOGO square miles.
According to the census taken by
Moses the total number of the nine and
a half tribes which passed over Jordan
to occupy the area mentioned was about
2,000.000. There are now about 7,500,000
Jews alive. At the most prosperous
period of the Hebrew nation the popu
lation is supposed to have been about
2,500,000, hence the advocates of Zionism
argue that the country is capable of
supporting that number of people. They
forget, however, that the Hebrews in old
en time lived upon far less than is Re
quired by the people of the present day.
Each raised the sustenance of his own
family; their clothing was made from
the wool of their own flocks; their hab
itations were rude and cost but little la
bor and less money; they had no fur
niture; their household equipments were
home-made: the entire family lived and
slept in a single room on the mud floor
with few changes of clothing.
But even if there were room for the
7,500.000 Jews of today in Palestine, what
inducement could coax those who are
successful and contented elsewhere into
a dreary and lonesome country, without
amusements, art, culture or opportunities
lor business, and what are they to do
-when they get there? And, assuming that
they would go, how are they going to
get possession of the country? Who will
crowd out the fierce Arabs and per
suade them to sell their land, and where
will they go, and the Syrians and the
Greeks, who will also be displaced? "Who
will stay the hands of the Druses and
Maronltes? They hate the Jews more
than any other sect, and are the most
fanatical of all the Dellevers In Christ.
The Jews get along better with the Mos
lems than with any other of their neigh
bors. Tbey are favored by the Sultan
and have his confidence. He says that
he was never injured by a Jew, but Is
not well disposed toward the Idea of
Jewish colonization. He claims that he
is, but will not do anything practical
to encourage it. He invites' Mr. Herzl
to Constantinople, and treats him with
great distinction, but never signs a fir
min or issues an order to promote the
Zionist movement or to protect the Jews
who are already in Palestine against the
rapacity of his officials. No Jew can
buy art aero "of land in Palestine today.
No Jew can builu a uouse there.
.Furthermore, the Jewish people in Pal
estine are not united. There is no solid
arity among them. They are divided
into bHter factions, and hate each dther
more vigorously than they hate Christians
or Moslems. One-half of them call the
other half impostors and worse than
apobtates.
One of the highest Jewish authorities
in Palestine tells me that at least 35
per cent of his religionists In this coun
try today are subsisting directly or In
directly upon charity and at least 20 per
cent are absolutely dependent upon for
eign benevolence. About one-half of
them have "sought here an asylum, from
persecution. They have fled from Po
land, Russia and Roumania. The re
mainder are aged and Infirm persons
who seek a grave In the sacred soil.
They come here to die. The Mount of
Oxlves is covered with cemeteries, and
the slopes of the hill upon which Jeru
salem is built are occupied by neg
lected graves. Quite a number of Jewish
scholars come here to study. Others are
attracted by sentiment and some come
because they know they will be sup
ported by charity.
Twenty years ago or more Baron Ed
mond Rothschild, of Paris, who, as a
practical man, does not thoroughly sym
pathize with the Zionist movement, un
dertook at his own expense to try an
extensive experiment to demonstrate the
problem. He purchased large tracts of
land in different parts of Palestine and
settled upon them some twenty or more
colonies, with about 10,000 Jews from Rou
mania, Poland and other parts of Eu
rope. The experiment has cost him at
least $10,000,000, and he admits that It Is
a failure He has abandoned this vast
scheme of philanthropy, transferred all
of the land and other property to the
Jewish Colonization Society of London,
and has given it; 510,000,000 more to carry
on the work.
The failure of the colonies is attributed
to the inability and tho unwillingness of
the people to till the soil. They can
work with their minds, but not with their
muscles, and while there have been exceD-
l tions, while many families have gone
earnestly at work to earn their own
living and make the movement a success,
the great majority of the beneficiaries
have been Indifferent, indolent, neglect
ful and mischievous. Those who havo
been interested in watching the experi
ment differ in opinion as to the extent
and the causes of the failure, according
to their point of view. Some contend
that it Is the fault of Baron Rotschild,
because he "pauperized" his proteges
from the beginning. He brought them
here at his own expense Instead of com
pelling them to pay their wayi he built
villages of the best and most expensive
class of houses in Palestine, which the
poor Jews who have lived in tenement
houses In the slums of European cities
could not appreciate; he beautified their
surroundings in a manner to which they
were not accustomed; he provided them
with neat and artistic furniture, lux
urious beds and all the comforts and con
veniences of modern civilization. It was
something they could not understand.
Then, as a climax,' he gave each Indi
vidual over 12 years of age 32 cents a
day, which enabled them to live with
out working.
They remained in their villages trading
Jack-knh-es and engaging In other petty
mercantile transactions and theological
disputes, and hired Arabs to work for
them. Of course, as long as the munifi
cence of Baron Rothschild continued, they
were willing to accept his generosity.
Hence they had no incentive to work.
Whereas, these critics say, If they had
been compelled to work for their living
from the beginning under conditions to
which they were accustomed and could
appreciate, they would have succeeded.
The colonization society has adopted a
different plan. It allots land to each
family In parcels large enough to sup
port them, lends each farmer $1000 or a
proportionate sum, according to his needs.
for eight or ten years at a low rate of
interest. It makes him pay for his seed,
for his Implements, for his house and
for all the supplies that are advanced to
him, and he now gets nothing whatever
unless he earns It. As a consequence the
colonies are disintegrating. Those who
can raise the money are going to Egypt,
South Africa, Australia, South America
and the United States, and the ungrate
ful kickers are denouncing their bene
factors in unmeasured terms. Tho di
rectors of the colonization society come

WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
PROPOSAL TO SCUTTLE.
Curious How Attractive Retreat Is to
Some People.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Consul-General Williams, of Singapore,
asks in the current number of the Inde
pendent: "Why not swap the Philip
pines for the British West Indies, the
Bahama Islands and Newfoundland?" Ho
assumes that tho American people do not
want the Philippines and are willing to
exchange what Admiral Dewey called
an empire in the Pacific for anything
next door.
Mr. Williams assumes also that wo are
less able to control colonies than Great
Britain and Holland; that Great Britain
Is eager to come into possession of the
Philippines, and that the other European
countries are not averse to British control
in the islands.
He takes it for granted that the people
of Newfoundland would favor annexation
to the United States; that England and
Canada would be willing parties to the
transfer, and that England would gladly
give up her possessions in Central and
South America that we might establish
new republics under our protection. All
of which is simply wrong.
Mr. Williams' scheme is fantastic and
unreasonable. The United States Is- in
the Philippines pledged to a work that
cannot be slighted and to a duty that
cannot be evaded. We are in tho Philip
pines with the approval of every Euro
pean power, because England did not
want the islands to go to Germany or
Japan or Russia, and because Germany
and Russia did not propose to have them
go to England. A proposition to trans
fer them to England or Germany would
be as strongly resisted now aa a propo
sition to return them to Spain.
The assumption that we cannot govern
the Philippines as well as Great Britain
or Holland Is not very flattering to Amer
ican intelligence and character. It is a
confession that American ideals of gov
ernment are poorer than those of Europe.
It Is an Indictment of American purpose
and an impeachment of the American sys
tem. But, aside from the sentimental con
siderations, Mr. Williams' proposition is
plainly to trade something of the greatest
value to us something which we are tin
der obligations to keep, something which
the world expects us to keep for some
thing that England Is not willing to
give up.
It is based, moreover, on tho Idea that
the Philippines are never to be self-supporting,
are never to make any progress
toward self-government, and on the idea
that we are to retire from, the political
and commercial position that we now oc
cupy to the military, naval and commercial-standards
of 1S9S.
It is, in brief, a proposition to sur
render and retreat, and It Is no more
palatable because It appears In fantastic
shape.
Nixon's Misfit.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
This isn't the first time that the attempt
has been made by Tammany to serve the
devil In the livery of heaven. Mr. Nixon
Is a man of education, culture and large
views, and It seemed to be a heaven-born
call that led him to the leadership of the
great organization. He told in terms that
he was "i,t," and that Crokor would never
bo heard of again. And Mr. Nixon be
lieved It. Probably also he had heard the
old doggerel:
There was & young lady from Niger
Who went out to ride on a. tiger;
They came back from the rida
With the lady inside
And a smile on the face of the ticer.
A Chance to Dry Up Tears.
' Baltimore Herald.
"The drying up of a single tear has mora
of honest fame than shedding seas of
gore," is a sentiment whrch poet Byron
has contributed to the fund of epigram
matic truths. There are many tears to
dry Tip in the devastated islands "of the
Lesser Antilles, much hunger, want and
misery to allay and appease, and great
opportunity for the citizens of the United
States to vie with the tender-hearted of
other nations in proving friends In nesd
to the people of the Islands where desola
tion and ruin have succeeded conditions
of peace and plenty.
A POWER IN POLITICS
BAPTIST MINISTER'S CHARGE
AGAINST ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
Says He Ts Using; His Authority for
the Benefit of the Church Allcsed
Deal With Hauna.
ST. PAUL, May 24. "Archbishop Ire
land wields a tremendous power In pol
itics, which he Is using for the Romish
church," declared Rev. T. 3 Morgan,
corresponding secretary of tho Baptist
Home Mission Society, at the opening
session of that organization today. He
was discussing the obstacles ,to mission
work In America, and linked together
"Romanism, Mormonlsm, Heathenism
and Christian Science." as the "greatest
hindrance to progress, and the greatest
menaces to Christianity and the Nation."
He stated:
"I cannot prove it absolutely, but I am
morally certain that In the last election
Mark Hanna, representing the Republic
an party, of which I am a member, for
mally agreed with Ireland, representing
a mass of voters, that in consideration
of turning over these voters to the Re
publican party, the Roman church would
be given concessions In Indian schools.
And when Issues arose thereafter and In
dian officials were inclined to oppose the
claims of the Romanists with regard to
the Indians, they were told by higher au
thority that the bargain had been made,
and must be carried out."
It was the most sensational utterance
during the anniversaries of this week,
and was made in the presentation of the
report of the executive board. The state
ment was commended by Dr. Klttredge,
the following speaker.
Frank R. Hathaway, treasurer, report
ed that last year $670,731 was collected for
missions, but that the society Is still
$13,000 In debt.
GREETING TO METHODISTS.
Conveyed to the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly.
NEW YORK, May 24. There was a full
attendance at the Presbyterian General
Assembly today when United States Sen
ator Beverldge, of Indiana, and Rev. Dr.
J. M. Buckley, editor of the Christian
Advocate, came to convey to the assem
bly the good will and greetings of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Vice-Moderator
Noyes occupied the chair.
Dr. Buckley, the first speaker, was re
ceived with great applause. He reviewed
the history of the Presbyterians and Meth
odists, and laid particular stress on the
doctrines they held In common. "Times
are out of joint," Dr. Buckley said In clos
ing. "Protestantism cannot be maintained
In our age, except by great organizations,
but I say to you that the Presbyterian
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church in the United States hold with
in them great potentiality for the exten
sion of the doctrines of evangelical Chrls
tlonlty. Let us stand as neighboring
rocks against the growing evil of agnosti
cism that is brought to us under modern
names and under new guises, and against
tho doctrines disseminated by the follow
ers of the old man In Rome, and not least
against the corrosive fluid, the material
istic spirit of the age."
Senator Beverldge said: "I have always
felt that denominations aro a good thing.
Denominations give to men of different
temperaments an opportunity to work in
spheres congenial to themselves, and to so
focus their efforts on the same aim. As to
its civic side, the church Is the great
conservator of public morals. Destroy
the church, and you will destroy govern
ment. The flag and the cross are alike in
one respect they never retreat. You
may temporarily close a church here, a
flag may be withdrawn there, but only
In order to advance more permanently
their intorest. They have one common
purpose the cross to advance Christian
ity; the flag to make this Christian coun
try the greatest power on earth."
There was a discussion of the next
meeting place of the general assembly.
Invitations came from Los Angeles, and
from Cleveland, O.
Californlnns Are Indignant.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 24. Information
received tonight from New York concern
ing opposition to Los Angeles in the Pres
byterian General Assembly for the place
of next meeting has aroused widespread
indignation here. It is reported that the
assembly was Informed that Los Angeles
was nnhealthful during the month which
is known to be the most pleasant and
beneficial month of the year. Dispatches
to the East from Los Angeles, Sacramento
and this city were rushed forward tonight,
asking prominent people to refute the
statement.
ORDER OF DEACONESSES.
Radical Step Taken by the Methodist
Church South.
DALLAS, Tex., May 24. The general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South today ratified the recom
mendation by Dr. Tigert Including circuses
in the list of worldly amusements that the
church membership should not Indulge
In. The question of creating the order of
deaconesses was then taken up. When
the two reports were placed on the cal
endar last week, the vote of the commit
tee was a tie, 13 to 13. Dr. McGee, of
Georgia, characterized the proposed order
as a "hennery for hatching out female
preachers." Bishop Duncan called him
to order and ruled out the language quot
ed on the ground that It was unparlia
mentary. The general conference later created the
order. This Is said by the church author
ities to be the most advanced and radical
step ever taken in church policy and dis
cipline. The newly-elected bishops, Dr.
E. E. Hoss and Dr. E. A. Coke Smith,
were consecrated this afternoon.
