AFRAID OF ELECTRICITY.

It seems little peculiar that Boston,
of all places, should have so hard a
time in inducing the electrical potency
to do docile duty on the street railways.
1t was supposed that the wise men there
got good deal nearer the arcana of
mysterious nature than the savants of
the untutored West, yet the electric
cars don't annoy the census particu-
larly in this section. In Boston, the disas-
tiers to people not oh the cars have been
so frequent that papers Of that city
state that people are vacating houses
on the streets occupied in order to save
the lives of their children, and real es-
tate values have decreased from three
to five per cent. This week a Boston
paper finds new danger in the break
ing of guard wire by the slipping of
the trolley wheel. 1t struck the horses
of horse car and killed them instantly,
narrowly missing the driver. 1t is
urged by some that the electric system
be abandoned on account of the disas-
ters caused. Probably the better way
would be to come Westand learn how to
operate the thing.

NEBRASKA INDEPENDENTS.

The Alliance and its allies in Nebras-
ka have come into the political field
with boom, and are likely to carry the
state. Their convention the other day
had about 900 members, and the appear
ances were that the farmers of the state
are in the movement nearly as body,
with no discords over men. The presi-
dent of the Alliance was the nominee
for governor, and nearly all the ticket
is made up of farmers. The voting
strength of the Alliance is put above
$4,000, and the labor organizations in
the towns are strong. The movement
has torn up political fabrics in that
state, apparently, more than in any
other. The fact of particular interest
abroad is that there is such evident CO.
operation of the tariff reform elements
in the congressional districts that nearly
all of them are likely to be carried.
One that has had 1000 Repub liean ma
jorlty is alleged to be quite certain to
elect the independent Alliance and re-
form candidate.

FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY,

In all this census muddle there is one
thing to be kept in mind. The federal
government is responsible for the TAX
ing of the census, and not the citizens
of these two cities. Whatever frauds
have been committed, or whatever
Irregularities exist they were the acts
of federal officials, for whose appoint
ment the census bureau is directly re-
sponsible.
The average citizen in either st. Paul
or Minneapolis had no more idea of the
condition Of the census returns than the
man in the moon. When the citizen
got through with the inquisitorial proc
esses of Mr.. PoRTER's enumerating
machine. his knowledge of census af-
fairs ended there. All subsequent pro-
ceedings were closed book to him, and
he went about his business without any
further thought of census matters until
there came the startling revelations that
the returns had been falsified.
There may have been some individual
citizens who, prompted by what they
conceived to be sense of public duty.
busted themselves with census affairs:
but the great bulk of the people gave no
attention to it. Therefore, the popula-
ton of these two cities cannot be held
responsible for the commission of frauds.

VALE THE PATRIARCH.

The Head of the Armenian Church
Persists in Resigning.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. L. During
the disturbances by Armenians in the
Room Kapo quarter of this city last
Sunday the snltan's escutcheon at the
Armenian patriarchate was carried
away and smashed. The examination
of the prisoners who are held for taking
part i'll the riot and the searching OF
their houses continues. 1t is reported
that those on whom arms are found
will be shot, The patriarch, in
document resigning his position as
spiritual head of the orthodox Arme-
mans pardons all those who took part
in the hostile demonstration against
him. A mixed council, consisting of
Armenian bishops and notables, assem-
bled at the Armenian patriarchate Tues
day and expressed confidence in the
patriarch. 1t was decided not to ae-
cept the patriarch'S resignation if it
upon the answer to be sent in reply to
the sultan's note Informing the patri-
arch that he would be held responsible
for any further outbreak that might
OCCUR, and ordering him to write a
letter expressing his gratitude for the
aid rendered by the Turkish troops in
suppressing the disturbances Sunday,
and asking for the severe punishment
of the rioters. The reply says that the
demonstration was not directed against
the patriarch, but was the outcome of
the prevalent despair of the Armenians
at the Porte's failure to reply to the nu-
merous memorials presented by the pa
triareh regarding the Armenian church.
The patriarch refused to sign the reply
agreed upon by the council OH the
ground that he had resigned.
He to-day officially resigned
his office, assigning as his
reason for doing so the condition of at
fairs in regard to the Armenian church,
as set forth in the reply of the council
to the sultan's note. In view of the
condition of affairs induced by Sundays
riots and the tenor of the note from the
sultan, he is no longer able to retain the
position. His determination to resign
the office. he says, is unalterable. The
porte is preparing circular note to be
sent to the Turkish ministers abroad,
explaining the events that occurred in
the Armenian quarter Sunday.

RUSSIA seems to be still actuated by
the senseless and inhuman policy of
intolerant times toward the Jews, who
are a considerable element of the popu-
lation of the country. Recently the
government has indicated its purpose
to enforce the edicts of 1852, that allow
the Hebrews to live only in certain
towns, and subiectto oppressive restric-
tons. 1t is believed this policy will
drive million Jews from the country.
1t is not charged that this class of peo-
pie are implicated in the nihilistic
efforts. or lacking in any of the quail
tiles of the best citizenship OF the coun-
try. 1t is an exhibition of barbarous
and despotic spirit that is disgrace to
Russia, even, and can but do it harm.

y BUENoS AYRES, Aug. 1.-The Situa-
ton here Is unimproyed. National and
other banks are taking advantage of the
law postponing payments, and will cash
only the smallest checks. Perhaps the
financial crisis may force Celman's
friends, including Roca, to forcibly
compel Celman to resign. At the
beginning Of the revolution Gen.
LeYalle took command of the govern
ment forces, seconded by the chief of
police, Col. Capdevilla. with $500 police
men. Until Sunday. the 27th, at 5 a.
M. the revolution triumphing, it was
decided to grant the truce asked by the
government till 10 a. M, when fighting
was to be continued. 1t was not re-
sumed, it having been decided to
stop firing to enter into treat
les. While this was going on,
the government receiving troops
from the interior, many commissioned
soldiers about the streets were killed
and many others wounded by the peo-
pie assembled. On the 2Sth firing
started again, the reyolutionists being
helped by six men-ofwar bombarding
places occupied by government troops,
causing damage of small Importance.
AT p. m. Oh the same day the men-of-
war ceased firing, by order OF the reyo-
lutionists, who

according to agreement with the gov
eminent. The leaders of the revolution
say this agreement was entered into be-

been obliged to have a leg
amputated. Col. Campos, the revolu-
instruction was DR.. Leonardo n. Alem.
President Celman has issued manifesto
to the people of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
After speaking of the demand for his
resignation, which was made by the lead
ers of the revolutionary movement, the
president refers to the prosperity and
liberty the public enjoys under his rule.
I He ignores the gravity and what his
own journal terms 'sthe horrors" OF the
recent events in Buenos Ayres. The
manifesto attributes the sole cause OF
the Instruction to the insensate am
bition of the local party in
Buenos Ayres, which it says
wished to impose itself upon the entire
republic. while prosperity. peace and
security are represented by the Celman
government. Even Celman's own party
is aghast at the presidents callousness
and his incomprehensible and vain
ignorance of the real gravity of
the situation. The manifesto con-
cludeS with an expression of the
eternal gratitude to the supporters of
the presidents authority, and adds that
patriotic people blesses them as the
SaYiorS of the government.

SOUTH DAKOTA SENTIMENT.

Turner Democrat.
Capt. c. w. Hall, in an interview
with the st. Paul GLOBE, proves HIM
self to be either an Internal liar, or
consummate ass, when he says that:
'scrops are looking as bad in South Da-
kota this year as last" and advises the
people of Minneapolis to save their
money, ssfor the people of Dakota will
need help during the coming winter
With few exceptions, the Democrat
ventures to assert that South Dakota
will have a good average yield of oats,
flax, wheat and corn. while here in the
southeast counties of the state the har-
vest will be as great as in any part Of
the country. Don't take any stock in
the romances of Hall, Mr.. GLOBE, but
glance over your exchanges from the
state, and see how they size up things.
