The triumph OF the Republicans would
have meant the continuance OF the principle

platform reafllrmed " the American doctrine
OF protection" and asked 1.-The people for
their Judgment thereon" I'VE denounce
Republican protection as fraud" said the
Democratic platform; "a robbery OF the
great majority OF the American people for
the benefit OF the few. We declare it to be

party that the Federal Government has no
constitutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purpose OF
revenue only; and we demand that the col

Where is the lying about that? What

any doubt or to be the victim OF any decep-
tion as to an Issue SO squarely defined
How could politicians have been honester
In their dealing with the peopler Where
was there the chance for either party to lie
about the policy Of the other?
Instead OF assailng the politicians for ly-
ing. this preacher owed it to the truth to
praise them for political course Of abso-
Lutte honesty and fair dealing. They did
not fight in ambush. but went out into the
open field. each side marshalled under I'M
mistakable colors. 1t was the squarest
in American history. The doc
trine Of protection was submitted to the
judgment OF the American people. and it
was rejected by them completely. After an
absolutely truthful campaign. they put the
Democratic party in power. to destroy pro-
lection utterly as an unconstitutional policy
ruinous to the interests Of the people.

We are grieved to observe that the men,
bers OF the Board OF Lady Managers OF the
Chicago Exposition do not always demean
themselves with that dignity which ought to
| be characteristic OF intellectual womanhood.
1t is dreadful report OF last Saturdays meet
Ing OF the Board that Is given in the Chicago
papers OF Sunday. There were scenes Of con-
fusion and turbulence at the meeting. Two or
three or moro speakers would deliver speeches
at the samo time. each Of them trying to raise
her voice above those OF all the others. The
Chair could not preserve order. Ono speaker
broke down in the middle OF her speech. hav-
Ing been seized with Mysteries: another wrung
her hands in despair: another screamed in
rage; another denounced her adversary as
arrogant and vindictive: many persons in the
audience sobbed or wept: many Kissed their
disapproval OF remarks made the Chair piled
tho gavel with power. but without avail. The
turbulence lasted for nearly an hour. and
order was restored at last through the ex-
haustion OF all parties. Only one pretty little
woman remained calm and smiled sweetly
upon her angry sisters. 1t was resolved be-
fore adjournment that the report Of the pro-
ceedings should DO expunged from the records
OF the Board Of Lady Managers.
The question at issue was o petty one. not
worth talking about Yet the members OF the
Board. among whom are many Of the most
distinguished and most worthy women In
Chicago. lost their wits over it.
The whole spectacle. especially the display
OF temper. was saddening to tho mind Of q
philanthropist
Again Mt the meeting OF Monday last there
was yet another extravagant wrangle between
the members of the Board OF Lady Managers
The members OF the Board should take an
example from the members of sorosis in this
city. There are warm debates at the meetings
Of that feminine club. sometimes; yet the
members OF 1t have always but once, main
tanned good order Several OF them spoke too
loudly while ago whom an eminent and pop-
ular actress was refused the privilege OF NOM
bership.

The Turkish Government and the Mis-
siOnaries.

1t is in energetic terms that Secretary
GRESHAM has addressed the Porte In refer
ence to the protection Of American mission
aries In Turkey. He has sent letter OF in
formation to the Presbyterian Board Of
Foreign Missions in this city. relative to the
recent assault upon the missionary. Miss
ANNA MELTON. In the Pashalic OF Mosul.
He says that he has instructed the Ameri-
can Minister at Constantinople " to press
for an immediate and thorough investiga-
ton Of tho circumstances OF the case, for
the adequate punishment Of those found
guilty. aud for the future protection of
our missionaries residing In Kurdistan."
This Is resolute and determined Ian
guage. although Secretary GRESHAM does
not give the Board any hint Of the fact that,
simultaneously with tho sending of the in
structions to our Minister at Constantine
pie, an American war ship was ordered to
the Bosporus.
Not only the Presbyterian Board. but the
whole American people. will take an inter-
est in these proceedings. They concern the
rights Of American citizens in the Ottoman
Empire. rights guaranteed by treaties that
exist between Turkey and the United
States. England takes great pains to pro-
tect her subjects in Turkey. and Americans
dwelling there must also DO protected.
1t is unusual for the State Department to
give such complete information to the pub
lie concerning any delicate question about
which negotiations have Just been be-
gun. as Secretary GRESHAM has given to
the Presbyterian Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions; but In doing this he has doubtless
taken into consideration the gravity OF the
case and the deep interest OF our people In
the course upon which he has entered.

preacher OF this city told his congrega-
ton last Sunday that the main cause OF the
lack Of confidence. from which business is
now suffering. is the lying OF politicians
Accordingly he gave this advice though he
declared that he himself Is not Democrat:
zone great help In this direction would be for poti-
clans to stop lying about the opposite party since
tho Democratic party Is now the party in power and
fireman for the next four years at least let pot
clans OF the Republican party and all other parties tell
the truth about the party In power"
The Democratic party Is in no sort Of
danger from the lying OF politicians OPP
posed to it. Its principles and purposes are
30 clearly and precisely defined In the plat
form on which 1t secured the control Of the
Government last November by great
popular and electoral majority, that there
Is no chance OF deceiving the public In re-
gard to them. The Democratic party spoke
at Chicago without reserve and without
evasion. and every man OF any Intelligence
knows for himself exactly where it stands
and what 1t Is going to do. Every citizen
who voted for tho Democratic party under
stood exactly the policies he was voting for.
NO deceit whatever was practiscd by the
politicians who adopted that platform.
Never in the history Of the Union did a
party announce its principles and purposes
more distinctly or more manfully.
Not trace OF an attempt at deception
appeared In that platform. 1t was alto
gether without subterfuge. Its meaning
throughout was indisputable. readily COM
prehensible. and fully and honestly ex-
pressed. Tho Democratic party dealt fairly
with the people. 1t gave It's enemies no op-
pcrtunity to lie about what 1t intended to
do II 1t came into power. for 1t declared Its
Intentions boldly and precisely. 1t made a
square issue with the Republican party. and
risked defeat on 1t.
This preacher longed for the coming of
tho time when politicians will scorn to
tell lie even for campaign purposes" but
that time has come already. 1t came last
year. A more straightforward campaign
could not have been conducted. The posi-
ton OF each party was exactly defined.
There was no political trickery on either
side. with view to mystifying and hum
bugging the people. No voter can now say
that he cast his ballot in ignorance OF the
