To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The barbarous Roumanian outrages against the
Israelites having become matter OF general
notice, l think 1t will be OF some interest to the
American public to know the opinions Of the repre-
sentatives Of the two great Powers in immediate
connection with that semi-barbarous State.
Lately visited His Excellency the Minister Of
Turkey, Blacque Bey, at his residence in Long
Branch. had the honor OF being kindly received
by His Excelency, for he knows me as a subject of
the Power he represents in America In my con-
versaton with him about many other things the
Roumanian question was touched upon. and 1t
afforded me an opportunity to hear his opinion on
this subject.
His EXcellency Blacque Bey thinks that the cause
OF the ROumanian hatred against the Israetes is
nothing else but jealousy of lazy and indolent
people towards I'm active and Industrious class Of
people that prosper In their midst. He expressed
his greatest sympathy for the suffering Israelites,
and assured me OF the same sentiments on the part
or the Turkish Empire, under the sway OF which
the lsraeites enjoy all privileges and esteem alike
with all its other subjects He was himself present
In Constantinople when the late Chacan Basl Chief
RabbD Zakir Efendi received marks OF honor and
decorations for many lsraelites who had rendered
services to the government He thinks that the
suilerings OF the Israelites In Roumanla dis
grace to the civilized world, and assured me
that the Sublime Porte will do all which Is in
its power to suppress them remarking that |
1000 Turkish soldiers would be sufficient to check
the 0utrages Of the Overbearing ROumanians. lie |
finally recommended me to interview His Excel |
lency the Russian Ambassador, Baron Gutenberg, |
who was for nine years Ambassador OF Russia to
Roumana previous to his mission to the United |
States.
Baron Gutenberg said The prosecutions Of the |
Jews In Roumania have no religious character at |
a too great number Of the Jewish element atsthe
small towns OF ROumania near the Gallician and |
Russian borders. Only at these localities we see,
perhaps, every year the same Jewish prosecutions,
while they never occur at those parts OF the
try where the Israelites are not settled in such
great extent. The Jewish question Is current |
question Of the same nature as the Chinese aues-
ton in California.
The excuses and outrages of the Roumanian
people against the Israelites are the consequences
OF feeble, unapt often cOrruptlbe local officials, |
who check these outrages unsuiciently. and the |
fore the government at Bucharest Is not so much |
to be blamed, and the reproach Of intolerance and
on the government alone. The government Is
too feeble, and every step to enfeeble 1t more
AS these indecencies in Roumania are generally
caused by too thick population of the Jews in
some places there could be great amelioration
and reform OF the Jewish AFFAIRS In Roumania
effected by an emigration to America.
The American charge dafiairs at Bucharest, Mr.
Peixotto, always represented his country in a
worthy manner. Al the request OF his Hebrew
brethren he issued paper for the advance OF their
interest and Improvement In the German lam
guage, which gained benevolent influence on the
public mind there.
His peaceable and conciliatory bearing gained
him the sympathy and estimation OF the better
part Of the population at Bucharest, also his on
cial situation as a consul OF the United States ee-
waited also his cOuntrymen In the estimation of the
public mind, which would not have been possible |
in former times
will also publicly express here my gratitude to
the Ottoman Minister, HIS Excellency Blacque Bey,
for his undisguised truthful sympathy with |
my suffering brethren; and, having heard from |
him the good sentiments of his government l |
Jews--"Atla Justur Sudn," God bless the Sultan.
II Is also sure that we owe to the Imperial Russian
Minister in Roumelia His Exceliency Baron Oiren-
berg, the deepest gratitude, he did everything to
mitigate the sad lot Of the lsraelites in R0umea.
AT last should counsel that some highly esteemed
Jewish citizens OF New York would be SO kind as to
express their deep interests in the cause Of the
Roumanian Israetes by waiting, together with
several committees OF Israel societies, accom-
nan cd with such Gentlemen Mr.. SeliQnan. S. r
