THE $5O,OOO,OOO LOAN.

The discouraging feature Of the new
bond issue Is that considerable part of
the gold that will be paid for the new
bonds may be drawn out of the treasury.
There is no way to prevent holders of any
kind Of currency from presenting such
currency at the treasury and getting gold
for 1t and then taking the gold so obtained
and buying bonds with it. An issue of
bonds under these conditions is little bet
ter than an exchange of non-interest-
bearing notes for bonds that bear interest.
1t will stand as a reproach upon the pres
ent administration that no financial plan
has been submitted to Congress TO prevent
Wall street from depicting the treasury Of
it. gold when the street finds 1t to its inter-
est so to do. Under the present conditions
Wall street has been quite conside rate.
When the other $50. 000, 900 was offered the
syndicate that took il actually invested
some of their own gold in bonds. 1t prob
ably did so to preserve appearances. To
have thrown $50, 900. 600 in currency at the
treasury and to have taken the $50, 900. 600
of gold so obtained and invested it in
bonds would have attracted public atten-
ton. So it put S35, 600, 600 OF its own gold
into bonds and only drew $4,000. 900 from
the treasury through the presentation of
currency. What proportion of the $780,
100000 of gold now asked for will he con-
tributed by the lenders and what proper
ton will be drawn from the treasury is
a matter for conjecture.

think that the proper thing to do with the
kurds would be to exterminate them.
That opinion has been shared by travellers
who have made their acquaintance. And
certainly the destruction of twenty-five
Armenian villages and the slaughter of
5000 men. women and children are not
performances to be commended. Blu; the
inhabitants Of Kurdistan, however vii

through the long struggle between Chris
tianlty and the various forms of Moham-
mechanism in Asia, Kurds frequently cut a
prominent figure. Since Kurdistan passed
under the control of the Porte. the Sultans
have used the ferocity of the Kurds to
curb the aspirations of Christian Armenia,
but whenever a Kurdish chief has shown a
disposition to assert the independence OF
his nation, the Pashas have received
orders to crush him remorselessly. Sixty
years ago Reschid Pasha absolutely de-
populated whole Kurdish districts. They

THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT.

The 18Th day Of NOyemb Der, 1884, will be
q day to date from in the history of this
State. The action of the directors of the
San Francisco Savings Union 10 sub
scribng for $4,000 OF the stock of the San
Joaquin Railroad has connected the con-
servatigs managers of that institution
with an historical event. These men Of
means have set an example that others
will assuredIy follow. The directors dis
tinctly state that the investment is made
Oh business principles. They consider an
investment in this road the best use they
can make of their money. In so doing
they rise out of the rut in which too many
of our rich men are moving. They take
into consideration other things than in
terest on their money and eventual repay
ment. They declare that they prefer TO
do business in live city, in which real es-
tate values are justified by the profits Of
business, than in a town where the As
SCISSOR has TO make concessions year after
year 30 keep taxpayers from rebellion.
The Savings Union directors have made a
response on the part of the managers of
other similar institutions a condition Of
their subscription. This, we presume, is
TO secure unity Of action that will add to
the impetus of the movement their own
subscription will inaugurate. They in
vite subscriptions By other financial men,
which will place the project beyond the
contingency Of delay.
In a movement of this nature it is the
first decisive step that counts. a little
while ago. after the San Joaquin project
had been held in allegiance for many
months, Adolph Sutro declared that he
would reduce fares across the peninsula
to cents. Only hopeful spirits believed
that be would or could. But on next Sat-
urdaY all the street railroads in the city
will transfer passengers TO roads running
to the Cliff without extra charge. Sutro
becomes the hero of the hour and was
elected Mayor of the city. He was spoken
of as the man who was not afraid. The
spirit be displayed communicated itself

ject is of Infinitely more impor;anc to the

other binds to the city valley that may
easily support population ten times as
large as that now living in the city.

THE ARMENIAN MASSACRE.

A dispatch from London, published In
Mondays CALL, stated that lew weeks
ago an attack upon the Armenians in the
Sassoun region in Asia Minor by party
of marauding Kurds resulted in the de-
struction of twenty-five Armenian viii
lagos and the massacre of 5000 Armenians,
men. women ana children. A native
Armenian residing in San Francisco ap-
peals to US to suggest mass-meeting to
express the public indignation at this awful
outrage.
The facts hardly seem to justify such a
step on the part OF THE CALL. In the
first place the story needs confirmation.
Kurdish outrages are very old story and
when sifted the accounts first published of
them generally prove exaggerated. Sec
ondly. it is hardly our business 10 interfere
IN the domestic affairs of foreign countries.
If we did so we should have no time to
correct evils in our own. 1t will be time
enough for US to lay down the law to
Turkey when the course of events in this
country never brings the blush to the
American cheek.
Ever since the beginning of history the
nomad mountalneers of Kurdistan have
waged predatory warfare upon the rich
plains of Armenia on one side and Persia
on the other. When a dry season comes
or when spring fresbets drown the pristin
fields the Kurdish f0cks and herds peris h
of hunger, and their owners take 10 the
warpath, just as the English ana Scottish
borderers used to do in the days which
Walter Scott has painted. They feel, like
some people at the present day, that the
country owes them a living, and as they
| cannot get it honestly by pursuing the vo-
cation of sheep and cattle raising they
seek it dishonesty by rading their pros
porous neighbors. To them Armenia is a
happy hunting ground. The soil is rich
and the people well off comfortable viz
| lagos IN the midst of thriving farms
are encountered in every valley, and
in attacking them the Kurds are en-
couraged by the thought that they are
! dong work which is grateful to
God. for the Armenians are Chris
tians and are regarded by the folio wers of
Ali as heather hordes." Thus. for many
centuries in the cities of Erzeroum and
| Tifis, and on the slopes of Mount Ararat, a
kurd means thief, robber, a murderer
and corsair. From time to time ener-
| getic Pasbas have raided them and killed
numbers of mountaineers whose valor was
great and whose probity was small. But
the race is inextinguishablea and the gaps
| In the ranks are quickly filed up. The
| Sultan levies heavy taxes on them, which
| no self-respectiug Kurd thinks of paying
| unless the tax-gatherer is backed by an
army; when the troops load their pieces
| the Kurd curses bis fate and pays.

SOMEWHAT CUT up.

The RGitWdy dye has made a hasty re-
Spouse to the report of The Labor Commits
sion. Evidently this report is not what
was expected. The Age speaks of the
personal opinions" OF the Strike Commits
sion as if report based upon sworn tes-
timony was a statement Of personal
opinion. The first point of conflict is
pp0n The statement of the commission
that the Managers Association had set
the example Of general union TO regulate
labor and to establish tie general cond-
tons upon which employment would be
given. This statement the RdiLlyay Age
pTOn0unceS wholly false" It's asserted
that effort after effort has been made to
consolidate the various labor orders into
one. The Age, however, offers nothing
but assertion. The commission reported
upon series of facts that were disclosed
in testimony derived from all parties in

ard from nigh officials of the Managers
Association as well as officials of the Amer

fact they did not expect an overhauling
from any quarter. Since the strike of July

the use of force to restore order the strikers
have had no mouth piece. The Managers
Association have had things pretty much
their own way. The bits of testimony
which leaked out from the Strike Com.

parties were having hearing. but truth.
full and fearless report was not regarded as
within the range Of probable events.

A feeling of desperation had been born
of the conclusion that the courts and mi.

the influence of the gigantic concentra
ton Of capital represented ia the Genera
Managers Associa ion. 1t is this fee lins
which has caused labor leaders to look
with suspicion upon proposed methods OF
arbitration. These leaders had no conf
dence In arbitration because they had nc
confidence IN arbiters. They looked upon
the submission of a controversy as sub
stantlal surrender of their interests in the
controversy. In the long run the railway
