Last month in every paper published
within the limits Of civilization appear
ed a telegram from Morocco announcing
that a shocking outrage had been per-
petrated on no fewer than eight Jew
esses by the order Of a British represen-
tative. This sudden outburst Of jew
batting under such distinguished aus
pices sent q shudder of horror through
the world. II "British representatives.
took to hogging Jewish maidens naked
in Moorish market places, where could
the hapless children of the chosen race
hope for immunity from the ruthless
nately for the credit of the British
name, the publication of the de-
tails of the outrage entirely clearssEng-
lishnlen from any share in the crime;
and, as for Jew-baiting, it turns out that
the British representatives" who acted
so abominable was SO far from being an
mated by religious bigotry or race pre-
iudice that he was himself a Jew both by
creed and descent. The whole story,
however, is SO suggestive that it is worth
while reproducing its leading features
from that uneNceptionable authority on
all Jewish matters, the Jewish World.
In tie little Moorish town of Casablan-
ca there lives a Jewish family named
his living by acting as Interpreter for the
British Vice-Consul. was much troubled
by the dissolute conduct of his two sons.
Like Hophni and Phinehas, they
grieved the soul of their father by their
s%candalous debauchery. Their in
trigues with certain well-knoWn
Jewesses of light repute were a constant
| source of sorrow to the old man, and
one night at the end Of January, when
the youngsters returned unusually late
from a carouse with their companions,
he ventured to expostulate with them.
They replied by firing a couple of pistol
oughly alarmed by the attempt upon his
j lie, fled in haste to the Basha, who at
! once sent a file of soldiers to arrest the
would-be PARTICLES. There was a stiff
resistance, but eventually the young
| Jews were captured and imprisoned.
The next day they each received 600
| blows with the b%astinadoin the presence
of their father. his wrath, however,
was by no means Quenched. Like other
fathers who have to mourn the wicked
ness of ~unrepentant prodigals, his lndig-
nation grew hotter and hotter against
| the sirens whose charms had
wrecked the virtue OF his sons. He
applied to the Basha to arrest all the
he attributed his children's ruin. The
Basha called the Jewish Sheikh, furnish
ed him with a force of soldiers, and gave
him a warrant to arrest every Jewess
whom the Jew Amiel reasonably sus.
pected of completely in the ruin Of the
Young Jews who had just been bastina-
doed. 1.-The Jewish Sheikh, apparently
notlnngAoth, took the soldiers, and that
night hauled out Of their beds the eight
Jewesses whose sufferings have horri-
fed Europe. OF these eight, one is de-
clared to be a Jewish girl of unimpeach-
ed responsibility, as, indeed. is not un-
likely. A Jewish police des ecu inn
provised in Morocco can hardly expect
police charged with suchduties constant
ly fall in more civilized lands. OF the
other seven they were, to say the least
no better than they should be. Next
the whole eight were stretched flat in
the market-place, face downwards. A
Moor held each hand, another stood up
on their shoulders, and they were Sc
verelv hogged by relays ofsoldiers. One
Of them is said to have gone mad during
the, process. When il was over, the
8retehed women were bundled into Jail
pending their expulsion from the town.
The American Eice-Consul, himself a
Jew, interfered, and they were released.
That is the whole story, and a very dis
gushing and horrible story it is, but any
thing more absolutely different from
'.persecution'could hardly be imagined.
The. mar Amiel was a Jew, his SONS
were Jews. The arrests we're made by
the Jewish Sheikh at the suggestion Of
the Jew Amiel, and the punishment was
inflicted on the Jewesses by the Moors
solely 1.-THE request ofthe Jews. Wheth-
er Amiel is a fitting person to "repre-
sent" this country, even in the humble
character ofinterpreter, is another ques-
ton.
