AN OPPORTUNITY SEIZED.

| The cheerful openness with which the
Southern Pacific Company announces its
| intention to take Immediate advantage of
| an opportunity to raise the rates OH east
! bound freight not only furnishes COM
| plete clew to its conduct in the past, but
throws a strong light upon its future con-
| duct if it succeeds in securing the passage
| of funding bill and the defeat of the
| Nicaragua canal. sit Will be, l under
stand said one of the company's princi-
! pal officers the other day, "about three
months before the lines operating via
Panama will be able to supplement their
present Inadequate service, and we pro-
pose to take the opportunity OF m aking
profit on the business we may do in the
meantime" This announcement is ex-
planned by another, to the effect that the
raise will be made on articles for which
there is isthmian competition, and by the
declaration that on these articles the COM
pany is tired Of getting only expenses and
| a small profit out OF the traffic.
1t has been decided to advance the rate
to Buffalo and Pittsburg on canned goods
! % per cent and on borax so per cent, the
rate to New York on canned goods, borax,
wine, beans and grain so per cent, and on
| to Chicago on canned goods Is per cent.
The Panama Railway, with its Pacific Mail
| ally. Will make still higher advances on
all these commodities.
These advances are to be made simply
| because the power to make them came
| from the creation of monopoly by an
agreement between the Pacific Mail and
| the Panama Railway. Mr.. Huntington
directs both the Pacific Mail and the
Southern Pacific. Whether the industries
OF California can bear this tremendously
increased strain is a matter for the pro-
| ducers and manufacturers themselves to
determine.
The boldness of this move is Its most
significant feature. 1t is taken at q time
when efforts are being made by Congress
! to place construction and control of the
Nicaragua canal in the hands Of the
United States Government, and it seems
to indicate an assurance on the part of Mr..
| Huntington that the effort Will fail and
that the Government will not become 8
| factor in the regulation OF overland traffic.
1t betrays an equal confidence in the pass
ing of funding bill, as it seems incredi-
bic that Mr.. Huntington, unless he is per-
fectly sure of his ground, would dare thus
to challenge the opponents of the funding
scheme to do their worst.
California is thus placed in deploreble
| position. 1t is given distinctly to under
stand that its industries are to be more
severely ridden by monopoly than ever;
that its already meager profits are to be
reduced, and that 1t need not expect any
relief either from the Nicaragua canal or
the defeat Of the funding bill. The situa-
ton is very serious and urgent and calls
| for the greatest effort to avert its evils.

THE CAUSE OF ARMENIA.

The affairs of Venezuela, Cuba and the
Transyaal have to a considerable extent
distracted public attention from the mas
sacres in Armenia. These atrocities. how
ever, have by no means ceased. Nothing
as yet has been done to check them They
still constitute the most serious outra ge
that offends the world at this time, and
are the more offensive inasmuck as they
are not outrages OF one nation against
another but of barbarisms and supersti-
tions against humanity itself.
For the sake of no international disputes,
however great or exacting can the Ameri-
can people afford to overlook or neglect
the despairing cry of the wretched people
in Armenia. Their cali appeals to every
generous and noble instinct Of the heart.
Nations may hesitate, but individuals
must to every need of humanity respond
with as much of help as each can give
1t lies not in our power unaided to right
the wrongs of that stricken people, nor to
stay the hand of the merciless Turk, but
We can do something. A resolute ex-
preston of the moral sentiment of
America will be felt in Europe, and when
sentiment equally strong is awakened
there, the governments of the nations viii
be forced to act, the cruelty will be STAYED
and another great victory won for the
cause Of humanity all round the world.
1t is fortunate that at this time, when
public attention is so largely attracted to
other things, we are to have a mass
meeting next Monday to recall this great
duty TO our people. Nearly all the greater
cltles OF the Union have spoken on the
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-08

subject and we must speak also. Our
voice, like that of our sister cities, viii
speak with the tone OF nc class or creed or
race, but of q common humanity. II will
be the voice of man speaking for his fellow
man, and the heart of every citizen should
add feeling to give it emphasis.
The duties of our Government in refer
ence to matters of this kind are not clearly
defined. We have Monroe doctrine for
this hemisphere, but no settled policy for
dealing with the rest of the world The
Turkish problem is not problem for us.
We have no National interests in that part
OF the globe to be affected one way or an
other whether the flag that flies above the
Golden Horn bear the crescent or the cross.
We have thus lar interfered there only to
protect American citizens residing under
Turkish rule. This, however, is not the
full limit either of our right or our duty.
The old saying, ''blood is thicker than
water" applies in this case The inf1u-
ence OF our Government should be exerted
to put stop to such atrocities as those COM
mltted in Armenia, whether the victims
are our own people or those of another
race.
The importance of making the coming
mass-meeting truly representative OF the
City will be felt by all who take an interest
IN the subject. Those who have issued the
call for it have arranged to make it include
all citizens without regard to any differ
ences on other matters that might exist.
All that is left to be done, therefore, is for
the people generally to make up their
minds to attend the meeting. It should
! be large enough to assure the speakers of
the public Endorsement of their words and
make 1t known to all that San Francisco
stands with the rest of the civilized world
IN upholding every cause that makes for
the welfare of humanity.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-08
THE NEW ACADEMY.

After many years of injurious wrang-
ling the Academy OF Sciences has been re-
organized. The old regime, which has held
power for SO long, has been forced to sur
render to faction which calls itself more
progressive. The new idea is to expand the
membership by taking in some who are
not professional scientists. That was the
principal issue, though minor ones of a
somewhat personal character cropped up.
The old plan was to limit the membership
to those with whom the pursuit of scien-
tific studies is lifetime matter.
The triumph of the new and more liberal
plan will undoubtedly find general APP
proval. The efforts of the most advanced
scientific researches are largely directed to
the securing of practical results which
shall bring substantial benefit to the race.
Thus the most brilliant achievements and
the greatest personal renown have been
secured by Pasteur in his search for means
to cure and prevent dreadful human all
ments, by Lombroso in unwilling the
mysterious association between crime and
congenital mental defects, and by Edison
in devising ingenious means for facilitat-
ing business.
California offers the most alluring field
in the world for scientific investigation of
strange conditions, whose proper under
standing would add vastly to the measure
OF human happiness. Those most aware
OF the need of such study are not to be
sought among the absorbed students who
have no vital contact with the world, but
in the great army of earnest and intelli-
gent men and women who are the active
agents for extracting natures benefits. 1t
is well that reasonable number of these
should be admitted into the Academy of
Sciences. They will bring with them a
broad understanding and that order OF
hard common sense which knows how to
organize living forces and suppress petit
ness and personal spites and jealousles.
The election of David Starr Jordan as
president furnishes the key to the new
situation. Besides being scholar of ex-
cellent scientific attainments and broad
prehension, he is eminently man of
the world-buiiding type, and is in close
touch with the stern practical side of life.
When we add to these qualifications an
incredible ca pacity for work, fine organ
lzlng ard directing ability, an eager fond
ness for knowledge and kindly and gen.
erous disposition, we have a complete
portrait OF the man for the place. That
he will bring TO bear upon the conduct of
the academy all the qualities which fit him
for It's direction, and make it the focus OF
all the scattered and dormant energies
which are ready to be applied in utilizing
the institution for the good of the people,
there IS every reason to believe.
