Jewish Emigration.

Jewish emigration is one that vitally concerns the people of the United States. Last year the number of Hebrews who came to the ports of the United States was 70,000, and this year the number will be much greater. There are 6,000,000 of the Jewish race in Russia and Russian Poland and the government of the Czar is determined to drive them away from these places. Whither shall these people go? There is considerable talk of some of them going to Brazil, the Argentine Republic, Mexico and other Spanish-American countries, but it is in ihe United States that they desire to settle. This is a serious consideration for Americans. The Jewish people do not amalgamate with the people of this country; they form colonies of their own and they care not to learn of our language, our institutions or our industries. It is probable that within three years there will come to this country more than 1,000,000 Jews. What can the United States .Government do for the regulation of emigration of this kind? is a question that however interesting cannot now be solved.
