Won should be in sympathy with every effort looking to the advancement of all the Industrial, material, and commercial inter-sets within the borders of the Considerable attention waa devoted to the labor question, as of peculiar Interest to the State, which Mr. Hastings called the distinctively Industrial Commonwealth." He Labor arises from necessity more than from Inclination, and Is seldom inviting unit remunerative. Capital depend upon Intellectual force and direction.

The state that permit large aggregation of capital -to be employed should surround the artificial person thus created with the same restrictions, privilege, and protection which It glvee to the Individual citizen. The law effecting each should be Just end equitable. The burden ot taxation should rest Justly end equitably upon both, having due regard to every privilege, advantage and related Inter- Neither should be a target for the demagogue or the tool of the avaricious, wine laws rigidly enforced are Independable to both as well as to the State.

His message of 15,000 word waa almost entirely made us of the umi a viwt aaa harangue used by him during the Ute State campaign. Democrat! and Republicans alike have attacked It. and there will be a "Held day" set apart for replying to the partisan and false declarations be has used In his last political will and testament Among other things Gov.

The present with confidence entirely gone on the part of investors, is an unfortunate one for the borrowers.

While the return of fsvorable agricultural conditions and good crops would be an Important element In restoring confidence. still, that is not the one. and the E. If. Morrill, Oovernor of Kanaas.

strongest proof of this statement Is found In the fact that money on real estate loans can be obtained much more easily and at less rates of Interest In Missouri and Nebraska than it can In Kansas. The proceedings In foreclosure should be made as simple and Inexpensive as it Is possible to make them, with a due regard to the rights of the mortaaaeor. The Mis souri form of trust deed has proved, after many years- trial, very something of that character, with a provision that the mortniMr should hivt th nrlvt. lege of twelve months, by paying taxes. In surance, ana interest, wouia aouDtless oe satisfactory to the borrower and the lender.

I am confident that the beat intereata of all classes would be promoted by the enactment oi sucn laws as wouia tend to restore confidence- In our ability and willingness to promptly meet our obligations. The message Is regarded by the members of the Legislator as the ablest State document that has been submitted to the lawmakers for many years. The portions relating to credits, indebtedness, Ac, are everywhere commended, and there ia little doubt that the Legislature will follow most of the suggestions of the Governor. JfOT TRUE, SITS EX-MIYOB GLLROY Declares that Mr. Iawson's Insinuation that He Waa In Certain Park Property Ia False.

Ex-Mayor Gllroy denied very emphatically the insinuation reflecting on him contained In the interview with Assemblyman Judson Lawson, printed In The New-York yesterday, concerning the RelUy law paased by the Legislature of 1894 tor a park on the rocky strip of land between One Hundred and Forty-fifth and One Hundred and Ftf ty- nnn ana Edgecombe and Bradhurst Avenues. In the course of the Interview Mr. Lawson said: I Sm tnlit fin Van mrrA a this property was purchased, either by the mcir ruuui two years before this bill to turn it Into a public park was Introduced.

At the time that this property Is oaid to have been purchased by or for the Ollroys, ex-Mayor Gil- the Department of Public Works, and his opportunities for making advantageous real estate Investments were correspondingly large. At any rate, the property was bought In the Gllroy Interest- I am told, and at the last session this bill to turn it Into a public park S'n, hr Assemblyman James F. York7 City1 TwentJr-l'htn District of New-Ex-Mayor Gllroy was very busy yesterday preparing for hut departure for Europe with Mrs. Gllroy and two of their children on the steamship Paris to-day, but he found time to discuss the charges of Lawson and to deny them.

He said: If Mr. Lawson utte.ed the words that are quoted in the newspapers about meT I can only find an explanation of teem In a des re to display malicious mendacity The statements ai false-absolutely aid un quallfledly false.

CHRISTIASS WERE BOUGHT AXD SOLD Id Some Districts They Were Forced tp Worn; Without- Recom- -pense Constant Ilaids on Tillage. In this week's number of The Independent will Appear an article on Th.e Kurds and Christians Before the Massacres, showing to what kind of life these Armenian, Jaco- and Neatoriaa Christians are con demned in times ot peace. These facts, from trustworty sources, are Hved in this article: showing the exactions made on the common people by the Government, It Is state I that Muatapha a nomad chief.

In 1J 33 coUected 4.000 plasters (4.4 cents from the Tillage of Mansurleh of Bohtin. and claimed 0,000 more, although the villagers acknowledge owing only 2,000 plasters. Fourteen persona in this Tillage were assessed a double tax for several yean, amounting to 4.000 plasters. Baahl-baaonks took 2,000 plasters worth of barley a od other produce from the Tillage without payment. Mu sUpha Pasha, bought the tithes of the Tillages from the Government lor plaster and coUected When the vU-lageis complained to the Government they were not redressed, but Mustapha Pasha sent flocks of sheep which devoured 2,000 plaat worth of growing cropa Th legitimate taxes of the village for 1S93 were 14,000 plasters, but.

in-addition, 12,501 plasters were collected. Mansurleh Is ot ly one hour from Jexlreh. the Govern-meni headquarters. Nothing was done to prot ct It. Haisana of Bohtan Is a Tillage of 60 houass.

The Aghas ot 8hernakh exacted from the villagers of Hassana 1,180 plasters in It 1L L739 plasters in 1882, and 8,074 pl-astei In 1883. as noted at the time ot the occurences by a village priest. The total for I he -three years. 1881-3. was 10,873 plasters, as against 8.376 for the three years 1880- 52.

showing that the exactions are In-crea. Ing. j. A of the District of Berwer has put In writing what he has seen of the oppr isslon of Christians by Kurds. He saw' numerous murders and mentions the nam of eight victims three robberies of cons derable amounts, and many smaller ones Mo tiammed Bey of Berwer is responsible for 1 hese and other crimes.

In the same distr ct the Kurds made the Christians bulk their castles, sow and harvest their field! and do much other labor, without recoi npense. Not only this, but cursings and beatings were showered on Christians as ey worked. Sunday were special days of oi presaion. Be Ides all this, the Kurds of other district i raided the villages ot Berwer, killed the inhabitants like dogs, burned their hous and carried away their goods. Dure.

My, Eyrt, Ins, and DNoony suffered in tne greatest degree. Thk Tillage of Mar Tokhanan has been raided several times during the last two years. Bo has Maragha, only a short dis tance away. A number ot Christian vil lages furfur back: In th mountains were even! more severely The people wer bought and -sold as. slaves.

In other, districts the buying and "selling of Christian) by Kurds is common. Th i people of Shakh. were forced to live In lvcs in the mountains In Winter, be-caus i ot extortionate taxes which necessitate their giving up their homes. The priei t's hous waa forcibly entered, his life thre and bis goods carried away. Nabrwan, near Jexlreh, is on the plain with easy reach of the Government.

It Is visited daily by the Kurds from the mou itains, who exact the usual tribute of prodjce and This last Summer the dem inds were so exeesslve that, rendered deep -rate, the villagers seised oao of the Kur Is who stopped over night in a neighboring Tillage, recovered tome of their good and took possession of his The; did this without violence to him. A few days after, this Kurd, with his folio we rs. waylaid two of the men of this villa one of. whom escaped. The other' was carried some miles to a river, where he was stabbed to death, and his body flung Into the river.

The murderers were well kno rn. but nothing was done toward ap-preh ending them. Ths writer was In Nahrwan when the Kali lakam of Jexlreh came, several weeks afte the affair, to examine Into U. The exaiilnatlon was rendered so oppressive to the Christians that the people were glad to deel ire that nothing had happened, in order to ei cape any further Inquisition. Even the old ootber of the murdered taan was right-enec until she declared "that she did not kno' of any such occurrence, and had no com ilalnts to make against anybody.

One evening, on his ray to Dart, only half an hour from the city, he vjas shot down by these Kurds. Tl ere were two companions with him who savi the Kurds who did the killing and rec-ogned them aswell-known men.

The few famine left live In practical slavery to tnei nuros. Ah old missionary, who has been familiar witp th region from Bohtan to Amadia. fori years, says these oppressions are In creasing, and unless something Is done speedily all the Christian villages ot the various districts will soon fall Into the hands of the Kurds, just as they have in Zabur. The villages of Mansuried. Shakh.

and Hassana have been given as examples of such oppression; but as the evil is general, affecting all Christians tn Turkey, or at least In Eastern Turkey, It is proper to summarize these abuses as generally practiced. The legitimate taxes are exceedingly heavy, but additional burdens are laid upon the people through the following abuses. which are merely mentioned and classified Abuses through unjust and corrupt assess ment, 1 Villages are compelled to give Assessors presents of money to prevent them from overestimating the taxable persons and prop erty in the village. Assessors, to secure bribes. signify their willingness, for a to make an underestimate.

The ignorant villagers gladly avail themselves of the opportunity, In order to recover what they have given jlhe assessors in presents and bribes. This, however, affords an opportunity for blackmail, which la used by succeeding officials. It also afterward involves them in trouble with the Govern ment, In which they suffer loss. Injustice and severity In collecting. The collectors, as a rule go to the Til lages on Sunday, as on that day they find the people: In the village.

They frequently Interrupt the Christian services and show disrespect to their churches or places of prayer. Th collection of the taxes Is accompanied with unnecessary abuse and reviling, some. times even with wanton destruction of property. Even after several failures of crops In succession, when famine waa so severe that the people were many of them being fed by foreign charity, the taxes were collected in full and with severity. Their food supply; beds, household uten sils, and farming Implements were seised by the Collectors In lieu of taxes.

Many were compelled to borrow money at enormous rates of Interest, mortgaging their fields and future crops. Unscrupulous officials and other In whose Interests such opportunities are created, thus became possessed of Christian Tillages, the people of which henceforth becoming practically slaves to them. These collectors make false returns of taxes received. official in the city Is secured by a bribe, and the matter Is kept quiet until a. succeeding set of officials comes into office.

They send their officers to the villages to present claims tor back taxes. The villagers In vain con tend that they have paid them. They have no receipts. They do not dare to ask for them. Or the bead man of the village who keeps the accounts has been bribed to falsify his account.

These taxes are collected again, entailing much suffering upon the people. The books In the Government offices at the Kalmakamlik are often incorrect through mistakes or dishonesty, and In consequence taxes are paid on fictitious names or on persons who have been dead for years. Taxes are often farmed out to the highest bidder, who usually Is some powerful Kurd ish -chief. Either 'in consequence of his power, or by means of bribes, he Is secure from Interference on the part of the Govern ment. He collects the amount due the Government and then takes for himself as much as he chooses, his own will or an exhausted thrashing floor being the only limit to bis rapacity.

While he Is collector for these villages they are considered as belonging to him. All the assessors and collectors and they are many, a different one for eacto kind of tax, house -and land, to-. bacco, on their vlslts to the villages. take with them a retinue of servants and soldiers, who. with their horses, must be kept at the expense of the village, thus entailing a very heavy additional burden upon them.

Soldiers and servants sent to the villagers to make collections very naturally take something for themselves. The Government has recently established a system of loans on mortgages to the farmers, ostensibly for their relief, but undoubtedly for the purpose, of securing their land, as the farmers will never be able to pay even the Interest on the loans. The Tezldls are a remnant of a heathen sect, who have never been converted to the Moslem faith. Their holy place is not far from th City of MosuL on day's journey, and their principal village are also close by. In the Summer of 1882 the Sultan sent a special officer, called Farik Pasha, to Mosul to correct certain abuses in th Government.

to collect all back taxes, and tto convert the Tesldis. His authority was absolute, the Vail Pasha of th city being subject to his orders. In reference to his work among th Tesldis, he, it was generally reported, was to get a certain sum per capita for every convert made. He first sent priests among them to convert them to, the true faith." They not succeeding, he very soon gave them the old alternative of the Koran or th sword. Still not submitting, he sent his soldiers, under command of his son, who put to the sword all who, not able to escape, refused to accept Mohammed.

Their villages were burned, many were killed In cold blood, some were tortured, women and young girls were outraged or carried off to harems, and other atrocities, too horrible to relate, were perpetrated. Those who escaped made their, way to the mountains of Slnjar, where, together with their brethren of the mountains, they intrenched themselves and successfully, defended themselves until the Spring of 1883 against th Government troops which bad been sent against them. This massacre was reported to the French Government by M. Slouffl, Consul at that tim in Mosul, and to th English Government by Mr. Parry, who was in that region under the Instructions of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Tezldls who remained In their villages on the plain had Moslem priests set over them to Instruct them in the Moslem faith. They were compelled to attend prayers and nominally become Mohammedans; but In secret they practiced their own rites and de-claredf that they were still Tezldls. DID SOT ATTACK PACLI5E HALL The Rev.

Chaplain ot tb Convent of St. Francis, PeekskilL Th Chairman, In opening th conference, said that th board had been Invested with very great powers by th constitutional amendment. There were a great many State Institutions with which th board had tj deal In th past, while it paid little attention to prlvat Formerly these Institutions used to prepare reports, which, when forwarded to the Stat Board, were tabulated by that body. The State board had received powers to expend publio moneys on private Institutions, and was now about to make rules for the future guidance of th board.

"I desir to said' th Chairman. that I do not Intend to be pressed or hurried on by any one. will hold open court her every day until we have finished our hearing ot all parties concerned. Th OonstltiBion was passed without our knowledge, anVswe will take our time la framing such rules' and regulations as we deem fit, John B. Pine spok of th changes that have been mad by the new Constitution In the management of charitable institutions, and presented new rules and regulations-, and a bill to be passed by the Legislator that will confer power upon th board to properly act in the matter.

Savage said; Th inspection should not be made when th Inmates have got their Sunday clothes on, but should be made unexpectedly when ther could be no 'preparations matle, and the true workings of th Institution seen." Gerardl Davis, in speaking for the New-York Infant Asylum, said: The non-payment of th December duet will seriously affect several Instltulons. I trust that som arrangement can be made by which th Controller can give ns th H. H. Tobias, who represented the Controller's office, said an opinion was expected from the Corporation Counsel In a few days. I have no doubt, however." said ha, "that.

the Corporation Counsel's opinion will favor th payment of th December due. Mornay Williams of the Juvenile Asylum aid bis Institution would make a most emphatic protest against the State Bourd assuming th power to change Its charter. Edward Lauterbacb, who was Chairman of the Charities Committee of the Constitutional Convention, was present by invitation, He said be was auite nosltiv that th con. vention never Intended to shut down at once on tn aid now afforded by the State to the various charitable Institutions. "It was the opinion of th convention," he said that the Star Board ought to make rulei for th guldand of these lnstl-tutionc It does not appear to me.

however, that the board has been given legislative powers. It seems to me that it would be perfnoMy proper for the board at this time to adopt a rule something like this: That all those Institutions which have heretofore with existing rules and which, ahali continue to comply with such rules, shall continue to receive aid. This ruie could be made to do until new rules can be devised. The others who were present In behalf of various institutions agreed with Mr. Lauterbacb and hoped that some means wouia be devised to give the needed aid.

Commissioner Letchworth suggested that all Interested parties communicate their Ideas to the committee in writing, at 'jstt Fourth Avenue. Chairman Stewart received a letter from Controller Fitch, in which he expressed a hope that a satisfactory arrangement could speedily be reached. In speaking of the bill and rule submitted by Mr. Pine, Stewart said: "They were merely submitted to us for consideration, and have no connection with th drafting of either th acts or th rules and regulations. The bill for presentation" to th Legislator Is broad In its scop and allows th 8 tat Board of Charities to appoint Inspectors, direct how reports shall be made, and when and how moneys shall be paid to the institutions.

Th board adjourned until 10 A. M. to-day. BROrCHT LI THE BISHOP'S CE.IW Six Mem Ajrrlv em th Xew-York-Twe Distressed Seasaem Pasaeager. Among th passengers of th Clyde Line steamship New-York, which yesterday arrived from Turk's Island, were Capt.
