The in- umanian under which San Francisco Chronicle: human treatment of the T Jews by the government gn correspondents, but the information has seldom been of a defi- nite or conclusive character. When, fore, a Chronicle veporter had the opportunity of conversing with Rev. Edward Joseph, a Jewish rabbi who banished from Bucharest for hav- ing published an article which reflected upon King € L it was en, cepted. Rabbi Joseph, who & America four months ago, been in this city only a fow days, and is here for the purpose of fulfilling the condi- tions of a trust looking toward the emancipation of his countrymen from a condition of absolute serfdom. The exile wears the garb of a French ecelesinstic, is thirty years old, and | educated, Will you explain the circumstances which led to your banishment from Ronmanin?” “Yes, sir, Tonly arrived in America four months ago and before that time I ne spoke a word of English. Yes: I have picked up your language v rapvidly. Well, to'come to the point, I will say, in parenthesis, that the Jews of Roumania are a badly abused people. I was editor of the Universal Alliance of Bucharest and in January, 1887, an outrage was committed by the gentiles at acz, who maliciously destroyed two cupolas of the Jewish gogue there. In commenting upon this event in my paper I suggrested that the gov- ernment do something to protect the down trodden Jews and bring the of- fenders to justice. Instead of accom- plishing this end, however, the publi- cation of the Universal Alliance was pr‘rn'mmnrilv ordered to be suspended by command of Prime Min Brati- ano. Thi. 2. months late republished Dchan at I was charg red ullhuh\np ‘of the erticennd cptember arrested for treason. \\'lthnul the formality of a trial I was given three days in which to leave Roumania, the term of my exile to be one year or more at the option of the government. Bra- tiano informed me that if I would re- tract and declare the article to be a lie, the order of exile would be rescinded. 1 felt sure, however, that T would be be- trayed, and refused the offer. I then after a short stay in France,came to this country, and will reside here until the expiration of my year of exile.” “\What is the history of Jewish perse- cution in Roumania? “It dates back as far as 1492, when the Jews of Spain were exiled, many thou- sands of them going to Roumanda. Their persccution has since that time been more or less atrocious, but never more so than since the crowning of King Charles of Hehenzollern. He has an able deputy in Bratiano, his prime min- ister, who is constantly filling his ears with advice detrimental to the interest of the Jews. Both are our inveterate enemies, and Crown Prince Leopold is an avowed enemy of all Jews. What hope have we in the coming regime? Absolutely none. All seems dark and gloomy. There is only one hope left— immigration to a free country like the United States.” The exile paused for a foew moments, then continue “Iwill relate to you special instances of fthe persecution to which we are daily subjected. In the first place no Jew is allowed to own any land or even #o build on sed ground. The law does not recognize them, and therefore affords them no protection in acourt of justice, They are not al- lowed to become citizens,and they are upon wherever they may go. Jew- ish lawyers cannot practice in the courts, but are compelled to act in chambers only. Merchants, such as shoemakers, failors, tinners, ete., can find no employment among the gentiles, In fact, the Jews are regarded passers and treated as such. the matter of education the pers does not end, and while the children are permitted to go to public schools, they are so rigorously examined that they seldom pass to higher grades. In this respect, I wish to_ disabuse public opinion concerning the ignorance of the Roumanian Jews, which I have found tobe not complimentary. As a class they are well educated, though some of their orientel characteristics have not been dropped. We have a high and low class, such as is found in every na- tion of the world. The fact that we are not as far advanced as we should be is solely attributable to the hostility of the Rou rovernment, wfuvh is n esperate efforts to grind us into the earth by repeated acts of oppression. For in- stance, afew years ago,the Jews of Bucharest coniributed 160,000 francs to the building of a park in that city and at its completion large signs were placed over all entrances bearing the infamous order,'Caine si Jidani nu sunti permise,” which means: ‘Dogs and Jews not allowed.” Never after was a Jew allowed to enter the park, though they haa contributed towards its build- ing. Last falla Jewish peddler was murdered at Galacz and though the guilt of his slayer was not denied, he was acquitted on the ground of drunk- enness, simply because he had killed a ‘dog of a Je In the same city, dur- inga small insurrection a few years -two Jews we wed up in ks and barbarously thrown in the nube, although they had committed no offense.

And yet the good King Charles did not .interfere and bring the murderers to justice.” ““Was not autonomy declared for Rounmum at the treaty of Berlin in 18767 *“It was, but only on condition that it declared free and equal rights to all within its borders.

One day, he had quite an amount of monoy with him, he visited relatives at West Sandlake and was never seen by them or any of his friends until Wednesday of last week, when he called upon his wife, who resides over Sutiff's grocery store, Bath. Knocking at the door he told Mrs. Taylor he understwod she was and inquired if she would irts for him. queries and behavior after awhile caused the wife to scan him sharply and she recognized him.

These were never received, and he was regarded as dead. After he left the hospital he was hit in the back of the head with a heavy stick of wood by aman who mistook him for another person, and his skull fractured. The blow rendered him insane for six year Upon recovering health he thought his friends never wanted to see him again, as they had not answered his letters, and he went west, where he made and lost several fortunes, He has lately re- sided in Cleveland, O., where he has made a comfortable little fortune in the insurance business.
