An Armistiee.

There will be no more fighting in
Turkey. The military power of the
Ottoman Empire has been utterly
exhausted, and no matter how hard
the conditions Of peace may be, the
Sultan can do nothing but accept
them. England may take up the
quarrel and go to War with Russia,
but Turkey will be practically out of
the contest. The campaign which
has resulted so disastrOusly to the
Sultan has been one of the most
bloody and destructive on record.
Russia can repair the loss, but Tur-
key cannot, and to reject the terms
of the arnstice which the Gar has
offered would be merely to invite
determination. The cable furnishes
what purpOrts to be the fundamental
articles of the treaty of peace, which
the Sultan was obliged to sign before
the Gar would consent to stop his
victorious legions on their march to
ConstantinopIe. Bulgaria must be
erected intoan independent province,
and there must be reforms in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. We may be GER
tain that these reforms" will greatly
limit the Turkish authority in those
provinces, and will guarantee a re-
ligiOuS liberation under which the
Moslem faith will fare badly. The
second article in the agreement for
an arlnistice imposes upon Turkey
the burden of paying a war indem-
nifty, either in money or territory,
the amount to be agreed on hereafter
This article no doubt will be fully
discussed by the great Powers before
the indemnity has been definitely
fixed, but the fact that the Sultan
has consented to accept such terms as
may be granted shows the dire ex-
tremity to which he has been reiuc-
ed. Thesigning of these preliminary
conditions is in the nature of Il con-
fession ofjudgment for such sum or
penalty as the Powers will permit
the Car to impose. Nevertheless,
the whole world should rejoice that
peace ha. been declared. 1t will take
half a century Of persistent toll to re-
pair the material damage which this
war hath wrought.

Giles. Mr.. Claiborne Hardy, the
Secretary of State for War, is we'll
known to be the most arbitrary and
pugnaciOus member of the English
Government, and i'm supporting the
vote of credit he INDUCED in remarks
which will only tend to fan the
flame, and which, in view of the fact
that the Russian occupation of Con-
stantinOple is provided against by
the armistice, may be considered
unnecessary. And his boast that the
Government asked the House for the
vote that they might perform their
part in European concert for the
benefit Of mankind is mere buncombe
in the face Of the vacillating attitude
which the Government has all along
assumed. The debate in the House
has now dwindled down TO mere
party contest, and although its con-
sluslon will be eagerly looked for, it
will not, no matter what determina-
ton is arrived at, materially affect
the main questions to be brought up
before the conference. What Eng
land may or may not do is not in
her present state of impotence and

is important to consider the stand

A Reform Democrat.

The Democracy have furnished
some fine specimens of honest refor-
mers in the officers they have chosen.
Amongst others Doorkeeper Polk has
made a noble record. Amidst the
cIamor Of the Democratic House for
Reform, Economy, &C., we find Mr..
Polk, not only appointing SO more
officers than he was authorized by
law to employ, but also making up
false rolls, and paying men who were
not employed at all. On Friday Rep
resentative Baker, of Indiana, threw
b0mbshell into the Democratic
camp by presenting a resolution pro-
viding for an investigation of Polk.
He mad read at the clerks desk, sew
eaal damaging affidavits, signed by
employees, to the effect that Polk
compelled employees on the rolls OF
the House to contribute, out of their
salaries, to the support of those not
on the roll. This, one of atfiants

The Turk in Europe.

Whether the real intent of Russia
is to drive the Turk out of Europe or
not, history gives various such ex-
amples of the power of the conqueror.
One case, lately referred to in thi.
connection, is that OF the Moors in
Spain. The rule of the Moors was
absolute for years, but they were
quite as much carpet-baggers as the
Turks. Even when they had lost
their power they were thought to be
undesirable eleme. ITS of society, and
in 1901 an order was given by Ferdi.
nand and Isabella that the entire
Moorish population, in default OF
embracing Christianity, should leave
the soil of Spain, never to return. 1t
is not known how many of the Moors
gave UP their religion and thus saved
themselves from Punishment, but
during the reign of the king and
queen 5000, 900 Moors left Spain. For
nearly 900 years the Moors had dom
mated in Spain. but they were extir-
pated at last. While there is no evil
dence that Russia has any idea, even
if she were likely to be permitted to
do so by the other powers, of employ
ing a similar policy towards the
Turks like that of Ferdinand and
Isabella towards the Moors, yet it ia
practicable enough, and the superior
military resources and intelligence
of Russia will be sufficient for the
undertaking whenever she shall haYe
the consent of the rest Of Europe and
deems it expedient. Nor can it be
questioned that the exodus of the
Turks to Asia would be for the good
of Turkey and of Europe, unless the
Turks should become so completely
changed as to conform to western
civilization.

land and Vest Virginia.

We fear this matter of vast impor.
lance to our county is being over
looked from sheer Indifference and
neglect and we call attention to it
now in the hope that any of our citi.
zens acquainted with the merits of
this old controversy will at once fur.
nish US with such information as they
possess, for publication in our col
umns.
1t is generally believed that the
proper adjustment of this line will
make large addition to our county
both Of population and territory, and
it behooves us to put our representa-
tives in Annapolisin possession of all
the facts that they may act intelli-
gently, and urge the adjustment of a
dispute that promises such desirable
results for us as county. Many of
our citizens are in possession of facts
that will throw light on the points
In dispute, and we invite all to make
them known through our columns.
It seems to us that all our people
ought to cooperate in publishing all
data as will aid our fellow citizens
throughout the State, and of West
Virginia in arriving at satisfactory
conclusion. The controversy is an
old one and the longer it remains
open the more obscure it becomes.
We are informed that the State of
ticials are desiruos of closing it. If
we do not move with some degree of
intelligence and spirit, we are in the
way of losing both territory
and population by reason of our idle.
ness and Indifference to our interests.
Will not somebody who is familiar
with the facts and history of the line
referred to make what he knows
known to our people--so that we
may act intelligently in the premises?

Will There be Peace =?


1t has generally been supposed that
the greatest opposition to the de-
mands which Russia would make
upon Turkey would be likely to come
from England, and those who have
prognosticated on the result of the
present complications have pictured
the Turks as on the horns of a
dilemma, SO utterly crushed by de-
feat thst they were willing to accept
any terms, and yet goaded on to re-
sistance by England, even although
they knew that the maintenance and
not help them in their extremity.
But opposition has now arisen from
an entirely unexpected quarter,
namely, from Austria unexpected
when we consider the benevolent
state of neutrality in which she has
so long remained, although natural
if the increasing territory promised
to Romania is to extend north of the
Danube. The Vienna corresponds t
of the London Times, who generally
speaks semi-otficially, suggests that
the conditions ofpeace, even in their
immature state, are rather calculated
to SOW the seeds of fresh trouble than
to secure lasting peace. AS was
pointed out i'm The american yester-
day, Bulgaria, although elevated to
principality, would be netting less
than Russian dependency, pledged
by the very favors which she had
received to the carrying out of the
interests of the Gar, while the slice
Of Bessarabia which that potentate
would obtain without due equivalent
to BONANZA would make Russia
mistress Of the mouths of the Dan
ube. No triple alliance such as has
been suggested could be formed
without the entire breaking up of the
Treaty of Paris, rent and tattered as
it is, and the supposed interests of
Austria will have but little weight
with Russia in her determination to
win over the Slavonic tribes to her
standard. Although Russia ha S
asked all the Powers interested to
discontinue operations for the present,
she herself is fast calling out fresh
battalions and massing troops in the
centre of Romania. Meanwhile it is
thought that Romania will refuse the
proposition to cede Bessarabia to
Russia. Turkish nnen-of-war have
entered the Dardanelles on their way
to the Greek cost the Greeks have
captured Domoco at the point of the
bayonent; and it may be said that
the true Eastern question, instead of
being satisfactorily solved, has only
just been opened,
In the British House of Commons

that an armistice had been agreed to,

to be assumed was only a step in the
direction of barbarism and violence.
