The Jewish advance. (Chicago, Ill.) 1878-1881, 1878-10-18
THE JEWS OF RUSSIA.

The Juedischc Presse publishes an in
teresting article on the condition of the.
Jews of Russia, from which the follow
ing is extracted
Russia contains Jewish population
of 10000 souls, which is larger num-
ber than is to be found in the rest of
Europe One might, therefore, think
that the Russian Government would
show more interest in the state of the
Jews than any other government. The
reverse, however, is the case, for the
laws Of the Empire contain number OF
narrow minded restrictions relating to
the Jews, which in other countries have
long since been discontinued.
The Russian Jew possesses no other
rights or privileges than those which
may be granted to him under exception
al circumstances. Thus the Jews,
though subjects of the state, really ap-
pear to be aliens, only enjoying the
rights of citizenship by way of favor
But, for all that, they have to pay taxes
and are liable to military service like
the rest of the population. If tie Jews
wish to enjoy equal rights with other

respect and admiration. At Vienna he
visited the ministers of State, Mr. de
Beust and Mr. Hoffmann: at Pesth he
paid visit to Count Andrassy and to
Baron Eotvos. At Belgrade the Consul
General of France introduced him to the
Regent, Repnc. Albert Cohn interceded
before the latter in behalf Of the Serbian
Jews. So. also. did he at Bucharest ap-
peal in behalf of the Roumanian Israel
ties before the President of the Court of
Appeals, the Prince being absent from
the capital at the time of his visit. The
Jewish communities received him with
enthusiasm everywhere, and listened at
tentively to his discourses at the syna-
gogues or at special meetings which had
been called in other localities to honor
him. The theme of these discourses
was was the action of the AWionce Is
,uelte Lnirerselle, the ties of consolida-
ton and fraternity which that corporation
had created among the Israelits, and the
happy results of its labors in the East.
By all his works during his lifetime, Al
bert Cohn was the right hand of the A.
liance. At Vienna and at Pesth his
aiseonEses paodnaed a Great sg effect The,
creation Of Il asbranch1o of the 4Uiance Is
raelite at the former city is to be ascri-
bed to his efforts in the year 1869. The
Jewish communities of Rustchouk, Var
na, and Belgrade gave brilliant balls in
his honor He arrived at Constantine
pie on October 80 The next day
was a Sabbath, and Albert Cohn
preached in the Italian Synagogue,
and inspired the audience with
his eloquence He subsequently
visited the Jewish schools which had
been established in various quarters of
that large city. Here is list Of those
schools s. The School of Haskeui, under
the direction Of Mr. Schmoll one of
Couscoundjouk, under the direction of
Mr.. Cohn one at Ballata ; school for
young girls, conducted by Miss Mizrahi
and lastly, the Lyceum Of Galata -Serai,
which had at that time an attendance of
about thirty Jewish scholars. On Nov
ember I'd Albert Cohn embarked for
Jerusalem. At Jatfa he met Mr.. Charles
Netter, who had Just established in that
city the agricultural school which bears
his name. The Emperor of Austria was
at Jerusalem at that time. Here is the
report of the subsequent events of that
time. written by Albert Cohn himself
The Emperor has visited the Hospi-
tai and was very favorably impressed.
= As a token of his satisfaction, he bes-
towed on Dr. London, the Director of
the Hospital, the honors of Knight Of
the Order of France Joseph. He
visited the Spanish Synagogue and the
school of Nine. Herr, The school
for young girls is a perfect jewel of an
establishment. The School of Blu

scholars. and that of Nine. Herr, with
IAN attendance of forty, render valuable
services. The Industrial School

SONNET OF NIGHT.

Mysterious Night. when first our parent knew
Thee from report divine, ,and heardsthy name,
Did he not tremble for this lovely frame,
This glorious canopy of light and blue?
Yet meath a curtain of translucent dew.
Bathed in the rays of the great setting flame,
Hesperus with the host of heaven came,
And 10! creation widened in mans view.
Who could have thought such darkness lay
concealed
Behind thy beams o Sun? Or who could find.
Whilst fly. and leaf and insect stood revealed.
That to such countless orbs thou mad st us
blind!
Why do we. then. shun death with anxious
strife!
If Light can thus deceive. wherefore not

in memory of Solomon de Rethschild
and distributed $1,000 to the INDECENT on
that occasion.
Albert Cohn had never yet visit
ed the interior of the country.
But this time he resolved to visit the
Jewish community of Damascus. On
July 20, he laid the foundation-stone for
the first school in that city Mr.. Che
maya Angel, a prominent Israelite Of
Damascus, donated the plot of ground
for the establishment, and also part of
the means to accomplish the structure.
The Governor Of the city. Mehemet-
Ruchdi Pasha, the Russian Consul Mr..
Makeff. and the Austrian Managing
Consul, Mr. Elias, graced the occasion
wife their presence. Albert Cohn de-
llvered three Orations-one in Arabic.
one in French. and third one in Ue-
brew A painful remembrance was
connected with this ceremony. Just
twenty-four years previous to that oc-
casion the Jewish community had suf-
fered the greatest indignities on account
of the Father Thomas affair (mention-
ed in our last J, III which even the foreign
consalSr 1aok assssll t--thaali. Oh
this day, however, they took part ii &
celebration of a Jewish community. and
manifested sincere sympathy. What a
difference in the situation the progress
of time has produced f! Albert Cohn
whose imagination never failed to tak ke
notice of such contrasts, improved the
opportunity to impress his audience
most deeply with the idea of liberation
and with charitable sentiments towards
one another. During the ceremony he
deposited a coin by the effigy of the Sui
tan, as token of respect for the gov
eminent He donated the sum of 1000
francs to the school, in the name of
Baron James de Rothschid. and an
nounced that the Alluuce Zsraelite
would contribute 1000 francs every year
toward the current expenses of the
school. He also distributed 500 francs
among the poor.
After his return to Paris, Albert Cohn
did not lose a single instance to manifest
his interest in the Jews of the East. In
1865 the cholera and other diseases broke
out in Smyrna. Constantinople, and .Je-
rusalem, and in addition to this, famine
prevailed throughout the East. Albert
Cohn made a petition to the Grand Rab-
bin lsidor. and had it signed by many of
his friends, that means be devised in IA
Eor of the Oriental sufferers. In 1866
the cholera ragged again in the Holy City,
and Albert Cohn made ready to 90
thither to assist the sufferers in person.
But the news arrived that the disease
had ceased. and he gave up his purpose,
In 1869 he made his last and most sue
cessful pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
This time he took his road via. Ger
many, Austria. Serbia. Roumania. and
the Northern Turkish Provinces, direct
ly to Constantinople Wherever he az
rived he was received with all marks of

The number of members was limited to twenty-five, and the following gentlemen elected to make up the number, viz: Capt. II. l.. Haskell, Col. J. P. Martin. Chas. E. Spencer. Col. James Riddle, Lieut.

More Candidates.

The announcement of w. A. Rowe, ot finders & Rowe, Alexandra and Gillett, as m Independent Candidate for Council, will be found in this paper. It is sufficiently explicit in itself withoutfuriher explanation,
 Mr. Rowe is a well known merchant and mining man of the southern paIt of the county, we'll qualified for the office he seeks and would make an active ana useful mem- Der.
 Paul Weber also is announced as Can didate for the Council, in opposition to Bishop Hatch Mir. Weuer's experience as Judge of Mohave County, and District At torney of Yavapai, has given him ample op- portunity 10 understand the wants ot hls constituents in the way of legal enactments and would do his duty conscientiously.
 The principle of running m direct opno- siton to some one else strikes us as not just the way to make the race, but it is matter ot taste which we have perhaps no right to question.
