same that Congress will refund the
Pacific railroads debt. Whatever turn
the political machine may take, the
refunding measure in some form is
sure to prevail, because it is the easiest
way out of bad situation. AS a mat
ter of fact. the United States does not
want to own the railroads, and does
not want to operate them. A gradual
payment of the principal of the debt
is at the present time the most sensible
thing to demand and to enforce.

WANT AND WRETCHEDNESS.
PITIABLE CONDITION OF ARr1E.
MAN PEOPLE.
Thousands in Utter Destitution-
Many Have Died From Hunger
and Exposure.

BOSTON (Mass), May 27.-Letters
received in Boston from reliable men
in Malatia and Arabkir, Eastern Tur-
key, present picture of want and
wretchedness. Delicate women, whose
husbands and grown up sons have been
murdered and who have been robbed Of
all their earthly goods, now live in low
shantieS or in damp cellars.
Women who were wealthy or in COM
Portable circumstances are now clothed
in rags and have not bread to eat.
Many Of these women beg from door
to door, and some of them even go to
the market places to beg.
There sit in the shops those men who
made these women widows and robbed
them of all earthly comfort and now
throw out to them a handful Of coppers
or bits of bread and laugh at the poor
women as they scramble like dogs for
the crumbs and coins.
In the days of the massacre all the
Armenians in the above mentioned Cit
les fed from their burning homes with
the one purpose of saving their lives,
and so they saved the clothes they had
on, in most cases the poorest clothes
they possessed.
In Malatia. out of 1000 bereaved and
plundered families numbering some
5000 souls, there are not more than
fifty families which are not in utter
destitution. Moreover, 210 beds are
necessary, for from the time of the
massacre the people have been sleeping
on straw and old rags, whole families
in a heap for warmth, the older ones
often taking the children as pillows
OF the surviving Armenians only a
very few have a change of clothing,
and of $500 utterly destitute persons
every one needs forty paras (two pence)
a day for bread alone. In recent days
many have died from hunger and ex-
posure.

DUNHAM, THE FIEND.
A Report That He Recently Resided
in Sacramento.

1t was learned late last night that
James Durham, the man who so bru-
tally murdered the McGlincy family
near San Jose on Tuesday night, was
reported to have formerly lived in this
city, but for some months past had,
with his wife, made his home with the
McGlincys, her parents.
A few months ago a man named
James Dunham, whose occupation was
that of gardener, lived at 1922 K
street, and the City Directory of 1895
contained the name of a James Dun
ham, occupation a farmer, residing at
91S K street. The latter does not ap-
pear in this years directory
The fact that the San Jose fiend was
a law student would seem to indicate
that he is neither the farmer nor gar
dener of this city, though he may have
resided here.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions From the Newspapers of
Interior California.

Siskiyou News: The outlook for Sis
kiyou County farmers is brighter this
season than it has been for several
wears past The alfalfa and fruit crops
will probably not be up to the average,
but the present indications are that the
grain crops in this locality will be the
largest for years. This circumstance
is more fortunate for Siskiyou County
because of the short crop elsewhere on
the coast, which will have q tendency
to keep the prices up. A larger acre
age than usual has been planted to
wheat in Northern California this sea-
son. and it is estimated by local dealers
that the ruling prices on all cereals will
he 25 per cent. higher than those of last
season.
POPULISM AND BIMETALLISM
Fresno Republican: But it is very
doubtful if the Populist party is an
honest party of bimetallism. A great
many Populists admit that free silver
coinage is but a makeshift, an act OF
temporary expediency to pave the way
to a non-metallic currency. Scratch a
Populist and in a majority OF cases
YOU have scratched a greenbacker. The
party is for silver money because 1T
does not think it politically expedient
to voice the views of its membership. If
the party had the courage of its actual
convictions it would undoubtedly de-
clare for a paper currency based upon
the credit of the Government. Under
these conditions what the Populist
party would do with the currency
question should it ever come into power
can only be a matter of conjecture.
With the party membership divided as
it is the issue between bimetallism and
green backism would be inevitable
