Text Appearing Before Image:
Gods free sunshine. Of late years theArmenians have hardly been allowed to breathe withoutbeing accused of unheard-of crimes and locked up. The bitter hostility of the present Sultan to theChristian element of his population has become moreand more manifest every year. One of his first acts,after his accession to the throne, was to replaceArmenians by Turks in all the high official positions ofthe state which the competence and integrity of ourpeople had secured for them during the reign of Abdul-Aziz. That a few Armenians still hold high govern-mental posts is due to the fact that there is notcompetence enough among the Turks to warrant theirremoval.

360 THE TURK AND THE LAND OF HAIG. On the night of the 5th of Januar)-, 1894, in mynative city Marsovan, and in Yuzgat, hundreds ofplacards were posted in pubHc places with words ofbitter denunciation of Turkish corruption and oppres-sion. This created a great excitement among theTurks and occasioned the wholesale arrest of hundredsof Armenians in the province. Some of the prisonerswere tortured into insanity, and false witnesses wereproduced by the Turkish authorities to implicate theentire Armenian population in a plot for the postingof placards in the two cities and then order a generalmassacre. The fact of the matter is that it is still aprofound mystery as to who was the author or the pub-lisher of the placards, whether it was done by the Arme-nian Huntchagians or by the Young Turkey Party,which is equally hostile to the existing administration. Among those arrested were two of my formerteachers. Professor Thoumaian and Kayayan of Ana-tolia College. While there was not sufficient
