This is hut mild sample of the tales
that can be verified, and clearly indicates
two phases of persecution and outrage
the unhappy Christians of Armenia have
suffered. There are other details too re-
voting to be told in print; butcheries too
horrible to be recited; cruelties too awful
to be described.
No matter what the bitterness existing
between the Kurds and the Armenians,
the fact remains that Turkey has permit
ted and taken part in atrocities that
shock civilization. Once before the
powers combined to punish and forbid
such acts by the Turks. Shall they do
less now? Will the Christian world sit
idly by and permit such things to go on
unchecked as are reported from Ar
menia? Will common humanity content
itself by the reflection that it is not it's
concern to order or interfere between
Turkey and it's dependencies?

THE ARMENIAN oUrRAGEs.

There is no reason to doubt the state
ments of the correspondent of the Lon
don Ne10S. It is not sensational sheet;
it has good reputation for accuracy and
care-taking in ascertaining facts. 1t sent
a correspondent into Armenia and
through several Turkish dependencies,
and he reports that there has been no
serious exaggeration in English or
American papers concerning the direct
atrocities upon the Armenians by ''the
unspeakable Turk" and of outrages by
his consent and connivance.
The CORES pondent secured one state
ment from a Turkish soldier, which is
supported by facts otherwise ascertained.
According to this account the Sultan's
soldiers
roasted the wretched inhabitants to death by
setting fire to the woods in which they had
taken refuge. He admits that they spared
neither sex nor age, yet all this was but the
bloody prelude TO the closing scene, me y e
Massacre of the Pit of GheIle Juzan." +"
Hemmed in on all sides, some hundreds OF
Armenians-men women and children
came in to surrender, with the priest at their
head.

with having blinded the people, and ordered

FLORAL FESTIVALS FOR ALL.

There is not town of considerable
size in the State that cannot have a
flower show, floral parade and battle
of roses. Why should not many towns
in California engage in them? Santa
Barbara and Santa. Rosa have no letters
patent upon the floral festivals.
Such gala days are of benefit to all who
engage in them. They are of refining
and softening and bettering influence;
they bring the people together in the
happiest of moods. They make men,
women and children think better of each
other and Of humanity.
Fifty such festivals in California an
nuslly from April to October would make
California famous the world over as a
floral State and give her a need of adver-
tising that would be practically and SOL
idly benefcial-however, that is the
purely selfish view of the thing.
We advocate many flower festivals, of
many kinds and all varieties as iDgenu-
ity and taste may devise, because such
occasions will be rest days and make the
wheels of work days turn the easier; be-
cause the festivals will cultivate a love
for the beautiful and delicate works of
nature, and measurably mold our tastes
and in no small degree exert benef-
cent influence upon our lives.
They would delight the younger gem
Grafton and turn their thoughts to things
of beauty, to pure pleasures and refined
delights. They would cultivate artistic
tastes and tend to develop natural art
gifts. They would stimulate the study
and love of Horticulture and thus tend to
make our homes more beautiful, and as q
result they and their surroundings
would be more chsrmingly adorned.
This in turn would exercise good influ-
ence upon life, encourage cleanliness,
order, nestness and symmetry in our
homes.
Indeed, the influence OF the love oi
flowers is far and wide-reachipg-a
boundless in aresl scope. So the town
AOWSE 1SskIN61h DeluR uOL Costly oOGag-
ing all, leveling ranks and conditions
refining, elevatinR. joyful and merry,
ought to become and may be California
distinctions.
In no other State can such affairs be
planned and announced with certainty
that they will come off to date, for in nc
other State can assurance be given that
umbrellas, doubt and overshoes need
not be brought to holiday making.
Let Santa Barbara, by reason of the
right OF precedence due to discovery
open the annual shows, as of old but
hereafter, why should not the southern
cities and towns, the central communities
and the cities and towns Of the north fol-
low in order with their flower festivals
What of it if there should be twenty or
thirty in the year? VIII not each com.
munity enjoy them as fully as If there
were but ten?

Concerning Indianfans.

The RECORD UNION is desirous of COM
municating with those who can give it
information concerning men and women,
natives of the State of Indiana, or who
came TO that State in early youth, who
became citizens of California and have
made notable impress upon the history
of California for good, in professional
life, art, letters, mechanics, agriculture,
arms, commerce and general trade, or as
publicists and officials. Names and
some data that will enable the full facts
to be searched out will be received with
thanks and due acknowledgment made.
AS indicating the character of men
whose history in California it is desired
to trace, it may be stated that Hon.
Newton Booth, q Governor of Califor-
mia, General John L. Miller, soldier and
Senator, President Jordan of PaIo Alto,
A. I. Hatch, the hOrticulturist, Charles
CrOcker, merchant and railway builder,
were either natives of Indiana or came
to that State in early youth, and from
that State to California.

JAPAN and China have come to terms
much as was expected. China pays a
heavy indemnity, Formosa is ceded and
japan is given foothold upon the penin-
sula that commands the best sea ap-
proaches to the vicinity of the Chinese capi-
tai and her safest harbors. 1t is just punish
ment and China will receive no sympathy
from any quarter. England has not inter-
fered. Germany has kept hands off and
the United States has manifested no
selfish concern. Russia, however, will
in all probability be heard from. She
will decline to recognize the indepeud-
ence Of Corea that the treaty of peace as
sures, except a strip of land along the
open sea be given to her for ports in
! which her navy may escape winter ice.
That this concession will be granted may
be accepted as certain, because Russia has
the strength to enforce it and to defy even
England should that nation object, which
it will not do. There is a possibility of
Germany seeking some advantage of like
character. The most important clause
reported as entering into the treaty COM
pact relates to the opening up of China to
general commerce, the breaking of her
shell of exclusion and the letting in of
the light and air of international ex-
change and communication. The dis
patches refer, however. to a provision
that China shall. by ditferential duty
system in favor of Japan as against
Europe, give the conquerors certain val
liable advantages. We are not prepared

SAYS the Oakland Times: "If Oakland
could secure about one hundred of the
live business men of Chicago to locate in
Oakland. by giving each block of land,
they would double the wealth and popu-
latlon of this city in less than five years"
Well, is not such an experiment worth
trying, then? But we apprehend that
Chicago men will not bite such small
bait. They want to deal in millions or
nothing. However, there are just as en-
terprising business spirits outside as
inside Chicago. If Oakland is really
''bad off" for ginger, let her try an
nouncement of offers for imported public
spirit and snappy enterprise manifest in
the flesh.

The doctors in convention at San
Francisco warn US that we are in danger
of visitation by smallpox because it is
now making its appearance at the Begin
ming of new cycle, and because seven
years of immunity has put US into con-
dition of funpreparedness. That is to say,
we have neglected to enforce vaccination
laws. A physician of this city who
knows whereof he speaks tells us that
the regulation of the law concerning the
exclusion of children from the public
schools who have not been vaccinated is
ignored, and that not one in seven is able
to prove compliance with the law. What

Before His Death He Returned to
Christianity.
Of this we have no more valuable testi-
mony than a very remarkable little
volume that has just been edited by
Canon Gore. 1t is entitled "Thouphts on
Religion" and is by the late George
John Romanes. George Romanes was
one OF our most eminent men OF science,
remarkably able and clear-headed, whose
standing in the scientific world no
scientist would dispute. AS long ago as
1876 Mr.. Romanes, when quite young
man, had reasoned himself into posi-
tlon OF skepticism about the existence of
God. These views he expressed in an
essay entitled "A Candid Examination
of Theism, by 'Physicus,'" which was
published by Trubner in 1878. There is
no doubt as to the conclusions at which
he arrived. He wrote, as Canon Gore
said, with tone of certainty and be-
lief in the almost exclusive right OF the
scientific method in the court of reason"
In this essay he declares that no intelii-
gent person can believe in Free Will,
and that we have no alternative but to
conclude that the hypothesis of Mind in
Nature is now logically proved to be as
certainly superduous as the very basis of
all science is certainly true. But from
| the position unhesiUatingIy taken up
that there can no longer be any doubt
that the existence of God is wholly un-
necessary TO explain any of the phe-
nomena of the universe, he travelled so
lar as to return as q believer to the
Christian fold. He left behind him sew
eral essays on the influence of science on
religion, which Canon Gore has now
been allowed to give to the world.
These paper s, which are more or les
imperfect notes of essays which were in
tended to be completed, but which were
lett unfinished at the moment of death
show an unmistakable growth from
the skepticism to faith, and the appear
OF this little volume deserves to rank
along with those other signs of the times
to which this article calls attention.
Canon Gore, in his concluding note, says:
The intellectual attitude toward Chris
tianity expressed in these notes may be
described as, l, pure agnOSticism III the
region of the scientific reason; 2, a vivid
recognition of the spiritual necessity of
faith and of the legitimacy and value of
lntultIons; and 3, perception of the
positive strength of the historical and
spiritual evidences of Christianity. But
still more significant is the fact that be-
| fore his death Mr.. Romanes prOfessed his
! pellef In the Christian religion"
Canon Cores statement is as follows:
! George Romanes came to recognize, as
IN these written notes, so also in con-
versation, that 1t was reasonable to be a
! Christian believer before the activity or
habit of faith had been recovered. His
life was cut short very soon after this
point was reached: but it will surprise no
one to learn that the writer of these
| Thoughts returned before his death to
that full, deliberate communion with the
Church of j Jesus Christ which he had for
| SO many years been conscientiously COM
PEELED to forego. In his case the pure in
heart was, after long period of dark
ness, allowed in a measure, before his
death, to see Cod "
