Show A M3NSTR3U3 RVJ3. The reported massacre of Jews in Pioumania, like the reported arrival of the ''City of Boston," was a fraud. The perpetrators of suj.1i "jokes" should be made to feel, in some way, the enormity of the offense. The person who could wantonly so stir up the feelings feel-ings of the civilized world, as was done in this Roumanian affair, is incapable of understanding the finer feelings, susceptibilities and sympathies evoked by such a tale of horrid cruelty; and a punishment proportionate to the crime and of a character suitable to the nature na-ture of the perpetrator, should, if possible? be inflicted. The details of the canard are at hand by mail, and the whole foundation on which the American Press Association rcpoit of fearful massacre and ruthless slaughter was founded reads thus: Paris, June 5. Mr. Myer Stern : The Jews of Boumauia are expelled, plundered, horribly in j'ltreated; number num-ber wounded, and probably killed. -vThis dispatch is now admitted to have been a fabrication, yet on it was based a sensational teport that -t irtled and horrified Christendom, and one which the compiler of the reports could easily trace to its source, if they were not themselves responsible for the sensation of a day. |
