The Porte and Lord Salisbury Taken
to Task in the House.
LONDON, Aug Tn the House of Com
mons tonight, replying to Mr.. Schwann's
strong criticisms on Turkeys dealing with
Armenia. Sir James Ferguson said he re-
GREETED that members used unfortunate
language. which was almost enough
to inclte the Armenians to rebel.
Admitting that there had been
acts of brutal cruelty it was
only Just to say that Turkey had acted
much better than iu former times with an
honest desire to suppress injustice aud to
punish disorder.
INJURIOUS TO ARMENIA.
The worst service il was pos ble to do the
Armenians was TO induce Turkey to suppose
that revolution was likely, and after the
language that had been heard Tonight he
was afraid it was hopeless to approach the
porte in the expectation of great conces-
Sions.
Prof Bryce complained that the govern
ment was keeping the House in Ignorance
of events in Armenia and was neglecting to
make an inquiry. The failure to convict
Moussa Bey had encouraged his adherents
to commit crimes similar to those charged
against their leader. Prof Bryce suggested
that the government endeavor to got the
powers to join in sending stronger remon-
STRANGE to the sultan.

The sorrowful moan Of a sorrowing soul
And the sound of passing knell.

And spray of faded yew,
A lockct with hair all golden and fair
And ribbon of faded blue.

And case with hidden spring,
Wherein two golden watch keys lie, {
A heart-and wedding ring.

And the ribbon of faded blue,
And before me stands the form l loved,
With hair of golden hue.
And gaze so long in those earnest eyes
That my soul grows weak with pain;

The old book down again.

Elsewhere will he found u communi-
cation from Judge Benton taking
exceptions to our remarks in relation
to holding the November term of court
Now, OF course we do not believe that
one-half OF the people OF this county
have contracted hydrophobia because
a term of court was not held here this
fall. Yet from what we could learn
from attorneys and others, and from
the cases published as ready for trial,
We thought it quite urgent. The Judge
admits that very little was accom-
plished at the June and September
terms and that cases were continued
by stipulation OF attorneys. Thef fact
that little was accomplished at the
two terms mentioned would seem to
he sufficient reason for an accumula-
tion OF business for the November
term, and such was really the case.
There was probably some misunder-
standing between the court officers
and Judge Benton as regards holding
the term. We were informed that no
Official notification had been received
from the Judge that no term would be
held, and as the time approached for
some action to be taken, the officers
proceeded under the law to prepare
for court. The clerk OF the court was
sick at the time and did not rene nber
clearly what Judge Benton told him
at the close OF the September term.
Possibly We have misconstrued the
Judges motives for not coming to
hold court. but We found it difficult to
suggest q better reason, under the
circumstances. The constitution pro-
vides for four terms oi court each
year, and we were under the impress
ion that Judge had no discretion in
