Xlabbt KoBonnn'a Plan fbr Ameliorat
ing His Condition.
A largo audience gathered nt the temple of
Isriol last Friday night tohcarKabblRoscnau
deliver his alscoursoupon the subject'What
Can Wo Do for the Russian Jowst" Ills
remarks were substantially as follows :
"Sympathy Ii ono of the graad elements of
human nature , and is demonstrated in Va
rious ways and unite many clrourastunccj.
' Of times when cwiors are happy wo smllo
with them ; when others rojolco wo rejoice
with them ; when others are unsuccessful wo
share their despondency , and when others
weep wo shed tears of sorrow with thorn.
But it Is not always necessary to como In
contact with tbo unfortunate to have that
noble feeling of sympathy aroused la our
hearts. Wo ean hoar , wo can read , and
the impressions thus formed will
nrouso the feelings of sympathy us
quickly as though uo wcro eye-witnesses to
the occurrences.
"Where can you find a man or woman who
has carefully read the pages of Jewish his
tory who has not shed tears when the atroci
ties committed against our people have boon
correctly portrayed ! Take the ilgyptinn. his
tories , and you will hnd thorn full of accounts
when men have been thrown upon the ground
nnd brutally lashed for expressing their re
ligious beliefs , It Is ou account of theso. acts
of cruelty that our hearts bleed for our suf
fering pcoplo.
"In these same histories \vo read thattuero
was a deter mined effort to persecute tbo .Inxv-
Ish pcoplo nnd root them from the face of the
earth , Hucli things cause our hearts to bleed
for our beloved pcoplo. Wo rend of the or
ders compelling the Jews to fall
down and worship the idols , nil
of which cau'cs our hearts to
bleca when wo realize the sufferings that our
beloved pcoplo hnvo bocn compelled to en-
duro.
"But let us como nearer to the present date.
Hoits ot armies wcro sent against our people
ple , their temples were torn down and bul
locks put upon the altar : our people vrero
taken captives and carried away to Homo ,
where many of them were sacrificed for their
adhcranoa to their religious fulth. This
causes our hearts to bleed for our ancient
beloved pcoplo. Wo read of men and women
who wcro slaughtered simply because they
believed In the teachings of MOSPS , and our
hearts bleed as wo think of the awful perse
cutions that our beloved pcoplo wcro compelled
polled to endure.
"Lotus fora moment consider the reign of
Isabella ot Spain. Her edict wont forth , ban
ishing to starvation and death all of our people -
plo who differed with her In religious views.
Tlio problem that Is before us Is , what can
wo do to help our suffering and persecuted
people of the present dny ?
"Lot us take the Jewish pcoplo of Hussla
and vyo Una that the young men and \\oiaen
who uio of the Jewish faith are not allowed
the privileges of the institutions of learning ;
they nmy bo capable and possess all of the
qualifications , but they are denied ad mission
to the University of St. Petersburg merely
because they are the people of Israel. They
nro sent buck to-their homes in disgrace.
This is not nil. Our people arc hunted down
nnd tha moat oxhorbitunt taxes met levied
against thum. Men are not only taxed on the
ptoporty thoyoxvn , but they are compelled to
pay taxes upon the necessaries of llfo , and it
is no uncommon sight to see families
driven from their homes , out into the
cold world , because they are uuablo to
pay the tax levied upon them. Our
people are lorbidden to own property , and
they aio fotbidden to leave the country
where they nro so cruelly oppiesscd If they
should by chance manage to get away , they
nro followed , their property confiscated , and
in many instances they forfeit their lives to
pay the penalty.
"Tho c nr of Russia grants franchises to
the Buddhist who will make his homo In that
land , but not to our people , and by this
course the Kusslau Jew is kept down and
forced to spend his llfo In idleness.
"Tho other day I read of a Russian official
who was anxious to have u fouj and flltby
sewer cleaned without incurring any cx-
pcnso to the government. He know that
hundreds ot Jewish families wcro starving ,
und going to the sewer ho commenced an
examination. In a short tinio a largo
number of the poor Jews congregated
about him nnd asked him why ho
o was so Intently gazing mto the sewer. Ho
explained that ho had lost a valuable jewel
and \vould give 25 to ttio man who nould
Ilnd the gem. These men thought of their
starving children at homo , ana going down
into the mud they soon had the sewer clean
ed , while thoofllcial laughed at the trick lie
had invented to save the expense that Would
have been Incurred bad bo hired the work
s performed. Thus aio Jews treated in
, i Hussin.
' "VVliat can we do for the Russian Jowsl
o "Tnero are many solutions of this prob
lem nnd each is advocated by men of ability.
Some assert that the duty ot these pcoplo Is
to fight , and t > y might and main gain ihclr
religious and civil liberty. Hut how crucll
Others again propose another solution. They
say tnat every press , every pulpit and every
legislature ) In the civilized world
should send addresses to the
czar , asking that these people bo
allowed tno same rights as his favored sub
jects. But I ask you , what effect would let
ters or addiesses have upon the ozarl "What
\vouldho care )
"To my mmd the solution of this mighty
and perplexing problem Is emigrationassisted
by tbo people of other nations. There are
many countries where they would bo received
in open arms. Let them go back to Pales
tine ) or lot them como to our blessed United
States , where the laws of the government
provldo thnt all men may worship according
to the aictatcs of their own minds. But ,
ugain a question arises , Is It practical to
bring those Russian paupers to this country )
It is true that many of thorn would ba pau
pers , but I would organize nt every port so
cieties , the duties of which shouldte to found
schools w uero the pcoplo could learn , trades ,
thus enabling thorn to * bcconio self ,
supporting. The expense would
ty bo enormous , but a tax could
ho 'CO bo levied upon the people to keep up these
Institutions of learning.
ire ot "I bellovo that this Is tbo concern of ovcrj
otm press nnd every pulpit , and I bellovo that (
mw. - . systematic plan should bo adopted to belt
w. those suffering Jews. They will not bo n del
tilvd rltnont to the country , for by associating will
hotter pcoplo they will soon become elcvatci
to tlio standard possessed by the Amcricoi
.ho and German Jews of the present day.
"Tho Idea may seem Bcllamyistio to some
us hut it Is practical , nnd this great society cai
bo formed to help the 4OUO,000 Jews whi
today are starving in Russia , and it is th
icd
ler duty of every man and every woman to pu
forth nn effort to relieve the persecutions o
ice r's these pcoplo. "
