Good Citizens Must show Themselves.
The mayor of Washington Court
House, Ohio, resents the imputations
cast on his town and county by reason
of mob violence aud the subsequent
proceedings against the sheriff OF the
county and the colonel commanding
the regiment which reinforced the
sheriff.
1t may be that the good citizens OF
that community are ready to assert
themselves, but up to this time the
other kind OF citizens has been Ia con-
troll and there was everything to indi.
cate that the bad elements would not
easily let go. tits certain that thought
iul men OF the county, concerned for its
good name, feared the coming OF Col.
Colt without a military force to protect
him, lest the mob break out again and
make short work OF him.
II the good citizens OF Fayette county
be in the majority aud determined to
hold down the lawless, they should lose
no time in giving substantial evidence
of that fact. One way to do this is to
get promptly on the side OF the law and
leave nothing undone to bring the mob
leaders to justice.

The Massacre OF Armenian Christians.
No tale Of Indian atrocities on the
frontier equals in sickening details the
wholesale horrors OF the Turkish mas
sacre OF Armenian Christians. Nor are
the Bulgarian atrocities to be compared
with this latest revelation OF the super.
latiye Of horrors.
The story may be exaggerated, but
this is hardly probable, for it comes
through trustworthy channels, and
charges the brutal Turks with nothing
Of which they are incapable. The mas
sacre OF defenseless Christians and Jews
by fanatic Moslems is no new thing
the pages OF modern history are red
with It. The violation Of innocent wo-
men is Turkish characteristic.
The civilized world cannot allow the
Turk to 20 on doing these things. He
must be made to realize that there is q
higher power than he, and that this
power is the aroused indignation OF all
civilization msssed against him. 1t Is
time to take hold OF tho Turk in dead
earnest, and either make him behave
himself as he stands or break his back
by Remembering his empire.

our Tariff Legislation Abroad.

Tho state department has reports
from consuls touching exports to this
country under the old tariff law and
the new. "All oil these reports depict
the great depression existing at these
foreign ports under the Mckinley law,
and the stimulation OF trade consequent
upon the passage OF the new tariff act"
Even 'taritt reformer" knows that
manufactures sent into this country
from abroad do not give employment to
our own labor. 1t is easy TO under
stand the great depression existing
abroad under the Mckinley law and the
increased activity in the same places
aince tho passage Of the bill which
makes it easier for foreign goods to
come into this country.
The American people have just said
that they prefer legislation that will
stimulate business in this country,
where they live and move and have
their being. On the other side OF the
ocean they burn in etfigy the man who
stands for this policy and lionize the
man who stands for the opposing policy.
This is selfish world, aud everybody
is interested frat OF all i'll his own
bread and butter. dr..

Funeral Notice Hereafter.


1tmeS'Recorder.
Departed this life November 8, 1894,
at the hour OF 8 o'clock p. H., at an adj
vanced age, the Democratic party.
Deceased had been in very feeble
health for some time, but the immedi-
ate cause OF death was complication
Of different maIadies. such as suspen-
sion OF pensions, reform OF the tariff,
and general inability to manage the al
fairs OF government.
Instead OF applying gold (bi-chloride)
upon the advice OF DIR. Thurman, one
Of the attending physicians, free silver
was administered to tho patient. which /,
however, only FASTENED dissolution.
Among the distinguished physicians
who treated the patient during his last
lines were Doctors Cleveland and Hill,
Of New York: Thurman. Turner and
Campbell, OF Ohio; Wilson, OF West
Virginia, aud Crisp, OF Georgia. These
doctors exerted the utmost OF their skill,
bnt it was all unavailiug, aud death
soon closed the scene.
Deceased was well and favorably
known on the other side OF the Atlantic.
more particularly in London, Sheffield,
Liverpool, DlFLuIuGuuIu uuu NduCues-
ter, and as well aud VAtavorably known
in this country for its pronounced hos
tility to free ballot and fair count,
n protective tariff for the benefit OF
everything which is progressive and
patriotic.
1t died as it had lived and the last
sad scene was only characteristic OF tho
deceased. When fully convinced that
the end was near it declared death to be
constitutional, and with its last
breath said "a protective tariff is up.un-
con.con.sti.tu-" but the sentence was
never finished. The head fell back on
its free trade pillow and the hand so
accustomed to veto pension bills fell
powerless by its side and all was over.

later. SYLVESTER S. FousT.

Mr.. William London Wilson, who was
recently defeated for Congress in one Of
the West Virginia districts, will be out
of a Job after the adjournment OF the
next session Of Congress. Mr. Wilson
stands for all that the Democratic party
stood for up to the time OF its over
whelming defeat. The party will proba'
bly, stand for something else in the fu-
ture. 1t has happy faculty OF flop.
ping. Mr.. Wilson is too deeply saturated
with tree trade to change his base. So,
politically, he Ia dead.
Still the Democratic party is not
wholly without compassion and that
branch OF it in West Virginia is striv-
ing hard to find some shelf upon
which to lay the faded form OF William
Left Wilson. The Wheeling Register
is practically the mouthpiece of Will
son. 1t is the leading Democratic daily
in the state. 1t is striving hard to ind
some palliation fer the wounded spirit
OF William Lonely Wilson. 1t proposes
that the Republican legislature Of Welt
Virginia elect Judge Nathan Coll as
United States Senator. Ibis will cause
vacancy in the supreme court OF the
state, which can be filed by appoint
ment by the Democratic Governor,
William A. MacCorkle. Wilson is to be
the new judge.
What pretty scheme it Isl IN plain
language, it says to the Republican, Of
West Virginia, make comfortable
place for the man whose principles are
the principles OF Democracy, aud who
represents all that 10 hostile to your
party and to the interests OF the nation.
Place in Office q man who has just been
defeated by the people OF his state in a
district so Democratic that he has been
elected six times previously.
It is safe to say that the Republicans
OF West Virginia will not fall into Il
Democratic trap so apparent William
Lunch Wilson will probably 90 back to
his college chair II his friend Grover
does not got him position Of some sort.
The Times would not advise W. LoI-
don Wilson to return to England in the
expectation OF again receiving the same
friendly greetings. He is dead dog
just now. Londoners don't dine dead
dogs.
[NorE-The Times is correct as to the
Democratic scheme to provide place
for Mr.. Wilson, but it is mistaken as to
the particular court which it is hoped
to make him a judge OF. Judge Golf is
United States circuit Judge, and in case
OF his resignation Mr.. Wilson's appoint
ment to the vacancy would be made by
his friend President Cleveland, and not
by Governor MacCorkle. Excepting
this slight error, The Times has correct
ly sized up the situation.-ED. 1STELlr-

Since the Republicans have obtained
control OF the legislature there is al
ready much talk about the election OF
successor to Senator Camden. The
name OF Stephen b. Elkins is mentioned
in this connection many times where
the names OF all other candidates are
heard once, and there Is little doubt
but that as matters stand now he would
win hands down. A dozen men might
be named. all splendid Republicans,
any one OF whom would be an honor to
the state and party in the senate, but
the feeling seems to be general among
Republicans that the great service rem
dered by Mr.. Elkins in the campaigns
Of '92 and '94 en,itle him to considera-
ton first, and there is little doubt but
that this feeling will control the actions
OF the Republicans at Charleston. Mr..

The commission appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to inquire into the strike
set on foot by the American Railway
Union gets n scathing going-oyer at the
hands Of the conservative Financial
Chronicle. The recommendation that
a standing strike commission be created
is criticised sharply, but the Financial
Chronicle has SO little respect for the
finding OF the commission that 1t saws
impatiently: "Bus 1t is hardly worth
while discussing the recommendations
OF commission which has shown that
it does no. possess the slightest qualifi-
cation for the task with which 1t was
charged"
1.-THE great strike was thought to be
worth investigating the work should
have been committed to men who had
some appreciation OF what they were
undertaking. 1t seems as though the
President himself did not quite grasp
the importance OF the investigation.
Certainly the report of his appointees
gives no indication OF wise selection OF
men.
II is safe to say that there will be no
standing strike commission az the re-
suit OF this investigation. Congress is
not likely to take seriously and to re-
gard iayorably anything which has
been so severely hammered from all
sides as this strike report has been.
