allowed to live in the villages and there

ing the worst kind OF race hatred, and
had started an agitation among their
students to arrange an attack on the
Jews. The Prime Minister himself had

had been led to believe that the land
would be divided among them, and in
this had nothing to do with the Jews.

Roumanian Jews
BY Dr.. Caster Of London.

Try as cnlld loves ltS mOtnef, ana
though many of them are now proud to
be reckoned as English subjects they
would welcome an opportunity of again
treading their native soil. They were
the victims of a most cunning and deftly
elaborated persecution, which preserved
a civilized aspect Their complaint was
only against the government, and they
had deep-seated affection for the peas
antry, who, as recent events had shown,
had no wish to harm the Jews. What
had happened might have been foreseen
for forty years. 1t was those who had
sown the wind who were reaping the
whirlwind The English people were
easily taken in when they saw their time
honored political titles of Conservative
and Liberal borrowed by country
which used them as cover for Oriental
despOtism and persecution. Roumanla
know only the ''haves' and ''have
nOts.' Proceeding to describe the meth
DDS of political conflict in the country,
the speaker explained how the liberals,
in order to make the Conservative rule
impossible, had infamed public opinion,
and had promoted disorder by appealing
to the cupidity Of the people and max
ing scapegOat of the Jews( accusing
them of being the cause of the trouble.
The agitators had paralyzed the hands
Of the government by the cry: Not a
drop of Rollmanian blood must be split -
and when at last it was necessary to en-
ploy force this upheaval had gone too
far to be restrained, and the government
fell through being unable to maintain
order. AS to the agrarian questions,
there were only 1857 land owners in all
Roumania, and there were 100000
peasants who were practically disfran-
chised and had been so cruelty oppressed
and exploited by the landlords that they
were thirsting for revenge. The attempt
to turn their fury against the Jews had
failed, and it was taking effect against
the land owners. ROumania had debt
of f6O,OOO,OOO, which rested entirely on
the work of the peasants, and the gov
ernment tried to get as much as it could
out of them. Where had all this money
gone? There were no schools and no
hospitals-but politicians had grown
rich The landlords had been grinding
the faces of the peasants year after year,
and the Jews were not now the worst
sufferers. In defiance of the Treaty of
Berlin the emancipation of Roumania
had become a dead letter; the Jew was
outside the pale Of every law and had
nothing more to lose The government
had created a class of people who were
