TO DIE, NOT TO LIVE.
ARABBI GIVES THE ONLY REASON
WHYJEWS GO TO PALISTINE.
They Have No Desire to Make Their
Homes There and the Russalns and knu-
uumians Long for the Advanced and
Civilized Countries of the “'est.
The ‘Jewish Congress which met in
Switzerland in the latter part of Aug-
ust, with the object of securing Pales-
line for recolonizationby the Jews, has
attracted widespread attention in this
tonntry, and has given rise to much
comment and speculation. In refer-
ence to the matter the Rev. Dr. I. M.
Wise. rabbi of the Plum Street Temple,
Cincinnati, had this to say:
“The ancient kingdom of
werthran in the year 70, A. D., and
the people became merged into other
nations. Judea had ceased to be a na-
tion, and all the heroic attempts to re-
store its nationality were signal fail-
ures. Those who voluntarily left J udea
prev-ous to the fall, 01 were carried
away as p1isoners, became subject to
the laws of the land in which they
lived, though remaining faithful to the
lam of Moses. These wanderers from
11111.33. saw that. their brethren to the
east and west‘of them were steadfast
subjects of the land to which they had
branmigrated, and still remained
aadfast to their religion, so that the
:nviction soon grew upon them hat
their religion was not dependent upon
the preservation of a national Govern-
ment.
“Of Jerusalem, its temple, altar, and
the ancient cult they had only memor-
ies, but of their religion and the obed-
ience of their brethren to the laws of
me land of their adoption they had
living examples. The religion, and
theii history t'heiefore, became the
center, to" . birh the scattered particles
of the nation gravitated. For eigh-
teen centuries t'he Jews have lived and
thrived on their religion and their hiss
iory'without social or national auxil-
iaries.
“So long as the Jews enjoyed equal
rights with the other inhabitants 0f
the country they were loyal citizens
and true to their religion. When driv-
en— to desperation by persecution and
intolerance they sought consolation in
their religion and the ideal that a re-
deemer would come to lead them back
to Palestine. But notwithstanding
their hopes and prayers fox s 1ch a cor.-
ummation, they never evinced any
particular desire to go back. They
migrated from land to land, but not to
Palestine. Some extra pious souls
went them to die, but very few went
there to live.
- In Russia and,Roun1ania, where the
Jew was never treated as a human
being, and his every ideal trampled un-
ier foot, the morning of Iedemption
dawned under Alexander II. But un-
der Alexander III, the Jews were again
driven to madness and despair. Like
their fathers-of old, they fell back upon
their Messianic ideals, in theory, and
emigrated to all countries—except Pal—
estine. One million Jews have left
RusSia since 1881, of whom ce1ta1'11y
not mere than 25, 000 went to Pales-
tine.
“These facts prove that the Jews
even of-Russia and the Balkan States
1021101 wish and will-not *go back to
Palestine under a Government of their
own or any Other Government.

Negotiations for :11 Reciprocity
Treaty to Be Beg-.1121.
Washington, Nov. 1: .—Definitc prep-
arations have been made €01 negotia-
ting a reciprocity treaty between the
United States and Canada. Meetings
have been arranged between Hon. John
W. Kasson and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
Canadian Premier, and Sir Louis Dav-
ies, Minister of Marine. This is the re-
sult of the long conference held yester-
day between Secretary Sherman and
Sir Wilfrid.
The questions of border immmigra-
tion, north Atlantic fisheries, lake fish-
eries and all other subjects affecting
the two countries will be taken up soon.
The meeting with Mr. Kasson, how—
ever, will be confined to reciprocity. ,It
is not expected that the reciprocity it-
self can be matured during the present
visit of the Canadian officials, the de-
sire being to arrive at some common
understanding and perfect details later.
The dinner at the White House
Thursday night assisted towards a
friendly setttlement of pending ques-
tions. At its conclusion the guests ac-
companied the President and his Cabi-
net advisers' to the Blue Room, where
an informal and personal exchange of
views occur1 ed. The general sentiment
prevailed that the present time was op-
portune for more cordial intercourse
between this country and Canada. The
announcement of the meeting with Mr.
Kasson followed this morning.
It is understood that the Canadian
officials believe the markets of the
United States and Canada are so
closely connected geographically that
it is essential that the countries look to
each other, rather than to markets
thousands of miles distant and difficult
of access.

ests on the Wheeling division of the

the samepersons who made‘the former

The principals in the transaction are
