THE
LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
PERSECUTION
OF
FAMINE-STRICKEN CHRISTIANS.
From our ownCorrespondents.
"FROM
two
to hree thousand Jews
are
under order of expulsion, to
leave Moscow by
the
26th of April. All these persons wll h are to
depart in an utterly des titute condition.
u
AlreadyT^'p-thirds of
the
more wealthy Jews have left Moscow
and the remaining Jew sh inhabi tants are so reduced in circum-
stances that they
are
unable to support
the
nstitutions for relieving
the poor families of the veterans of the time of Nicholas L, who
nominally have
the
right of residence in Moscow
"Many of those whoare to eave on April 26 sent petitions for
a remission of their expulsion orders to M. Dounovo Minister 6f the
Interior, but have received replies from St. Petersburg informing
them that their ]>etitions w ll not even be considered.
•
"M .
lassoffsky, the Chief Inspector of Police in Moscow has
returned from the Capitalwith newinstructions as to further
restrictions on the Jews. Agents of merchants of the 1st and
Slid Guilds, who previously were al lowed to remain in the city for
periods of six months and two weeks respectively , are now to be
entirely refused admission i nto Moscow"
"More than
a
fortnight
ag o I
wrote
to
you briefly concerning the
. fresh trouble that has befallen the Jews of Russi a-^ : allude to the
difficulties placed in the"way ol'immigr ants
who
wsh-to land at the
American ports. Thia aeriouf obstacle is interfering wth the
activity of the German Committees,
and
thus the ast hope of he
persecuted Jews is being removed. Emigration is the only refuge
to the sufferers from the
May
Laws,, and,- ^ -tlm~escape-is denied
them, what must be their fate? In every town numbers of persecuted
and afflicted families are gathered—in one case a wf e and five
children, whose husband and father has accepted baptism, while
they remained steadfast in their faith in Judaism—al l awaiting the
day when they shall be ent to a land of freedom under
the
auspices
of your Committee. Their disappointment w ll be commensurable
wth thei r former hopes.'"
COMMERCIAL DEPRESSION.
-^^he-^es^t'is^fr^ncKl
of
commercial depression
in
many lands
where men are^free;
it is
needless
to
point
out how
this depression
must be ntensified in Russia.. The Jews there
are
unable to travel
at wll, or to settle in the nterior; they a re subjected to a thousand
restrictions. The result is a condition of poverty and chronic
distress which was only tolerable so long as a chance of escape
always seeined possible. If
the
succour of their brethren in happier
lands is now denied them they w ll despair entirely of the uture."
GENEROSITY
OF
RUSSIAN JEWS.
"In
the
present year large numbers of Jewsh artisans are out
of
work, and though the wealthier Russian Je ws have themselves
suffered severe losses^JJiey- have, nevertheless, been ^Yeiy_liberal in
^-the^ie ljri h^^ poorer brethren
who are
w thout
employment. They ha ve also assisted those owners of small
businesses who have managed to maintain their position by dint of a
supreme effort
The
generosity of
the
Jews in Russia towards their
poorer brethren
has
been very marked.
In
Minsk
the
community
subscribed 5,123 roubles besides the regular charitable collections •
during
one
month (ending January 8th, 1892) they distributed 4
000
pouds of bread (a pond =
40
bs..), in which distribution many poor
Umstians shared ; from the 8th of January onwards
the
distribu-
tion of bread
was
raised to he weekly average of
1,200
pouds. Simil ar
open-haridedness prevails in other towns. In Wilna, besides the
Regular Meekly distribution
of
300 roubles, $000 roubles monthly
have been subscribed, and this is exclusive of the very numerous
private societies which e xist in all Jew sh communities in Russia.
lfl
short,.there
has
been
no
imit
to
the
generosity
of
tlie Jews,

is
exacted from him when the tax-collectoi:. calls, and
f
the money is
not forthcoming thepoor starving peasftrit is.flogged, and he is
deprived
of
his clothing and household ute nsils. Our extract from
the
Times
on
this subject will indicate, the paternal character
of
Russian government evinced
in the
levying
of
taxes
at
times
of
exceptional; distress.
If
Russia thus persecutes
her
Orthodox
children, whywonder at herpersecuting those sheregards as
heretics?

" NiJNI-NoVGOROD.
"The gradual decline in ihe fruitfulness of the soil has beeii
accompanied by an increase of tie population. The land at the
disposal of the peasants h as. remained stationary, its fertility has
diminished,
and the
number of mouths it
has
to feed has increased
at
an
alarming rate. Hence the peasant
has
been in a chronic state
of starvation for years,
and his
pre&ent distres s is
not
so apparent to
those who have been standing by and watching his decline as t is to
the new-comer, or o the ardent reformer and ntelligent patriot who
sees wth aching heart the gradual rui n of his country. The
.peasant is the goose which lay s Russi a's golden eggs, and he s being
slowy killed.
'
v
v
"While the peasant is gradually growng poorer the State is
growng more and more exa cting in the collection of taxes. In the
ri tk insto
ignore
t h f h i h ib d
j g ^ , i g n o r e
the famine, and collect to the uttermost farthing
the
tribute due. He
consequently despatched the vice-governor w th the police officials,
accompanied by -sodiers and Cossacks and several sjedge-loads of
birch-rods, on a tour of nspection
in the
villages.
The
i mple method
employed was to select the wealthiest peasants of a village,
and
flog
them until the taxes were produced. In some cases
the
most merciless
floggings failed to have the desired effect. There was iterally no
money to be got. In these villages the private, p ^
-peasantry
-was
seque i^ their -fur coats, their
simple cotton clothing, t heir primitive agri cultural implements,
everything
was
seized.
" These facts were told me by a soemn official,
one
of
the
wsest
and most enlightened in
his
district, who implored
me
not
to
mention
his name. 'You know
7
he said,
he order of thingsin which we
live.' This is
not
a Government,
but
an Asia tic despotism. Perhaps,
if some of these and imilar facts find their way nto the British
Press, they wll make our rulers ashamed of themselves."
EXPULSION
OF
RABBIS.
FURTHER information has reached us, under date of March
2nd, respecting the closing of the Talmud Schoo in Woloshin
(Wilna Government). By order of Kochahov, Governor-General
of Wilna, the head-masters —Rabbi Hirsch lieb Berlin, Rabbi
Ohann Berlin, his son, and Rabbi Chaim Solowejzig (the cele-
brated
son
of the Rabbi of Brest)-^have been forbidden to reside
in any part of the Government 6f Wilna for the term of three years,
the poice thinki ng that only when the hree principal teachers were
removed from their sphere of action,.would there be security that
the co lege would not be reopened s ecretly. It is reported tha t the
schoo
was
closed
oh the
strength
of a
denunciation
by the
poice
and Ispravniks, who represented
the
school
as a "
nest
for
Nihilists."
