Pasha, Turkish marshal, with detaoh-
ment Of Nizams and fold battery,
massaored 9. 600 Armenians at Sassun.
The bodies OF tho dead were left unhur-
led and their presence has caused an out
break Of cholera. Many Christians are
reported TO have fed by secret paths across
the Russian frontier.
So far there has been no official con-
frmation OF this news, but II IL is true 10
Is time the powers share in the response
bility for their failure TO enforce article
81 OF the Berlin treaty, which imposes on
them the duty Of seeing that the porto
takes measures TO protect Armenians
The latter declare that they hope for moth
ing from Europe, but that they still havo
confidence in Great Britain. Numerous
appeals have been made by the Armenians
to the British foreign oGice
A dispatch from ConstAntinople TO Tho
Standard says that in response to the pro-
test made by Sir Philip Currie British
ambassador to Turkey, the porte has un-
reseryedly withdrawn the charge against
Mr., Hallward, British consul at Van, Of
melting the Armenians at Sassun and
elsewhere TO revolt. The charge grew out
OF the investigation made by Mr.. Hall
ward into the Armenian mRssRcres and
his report TO the British ambassador. The
governor of Bitlis, who IS seriously in
volyed in the outrage mado the charge
IL is said, for the purpose Of revenge
Tho sultan has decided to send com
mission composed OF three members OF his
military household and one civilian TO
Sassun for the purpose Of making an i'm
partial inquiry into tho outrages on Ar
menians.

tion Of Sir Philip Currie, the British EN-.
bassador TO Turkey, has caused oonsterna.

prove that the Sassun affair was most So

The Democracy Must Cease DissensIon
and Heal Up the DIviAion In It's own

State Chairman L Irving Handy has
sent the following answer to New York
paper which queried him as to how the
Democracy can regain the ground 1t
lost in the recent election:
THE course for the Democratic party
10 pursue In the immediate future seems
plain. Let us, In ths first place cease
dlssension and heal up the divisions in
our own ranks. A house divided against
itself cannot stsAd. We should also

In every election district In the United
States.
"our party efforts should all be In the
line Of honest and straightforward
appeals to the intelligence and patriotism
Of the people. All attempts TO win power
by short cuts, political tricks or the
raising OF the false issues lead sooner or
later 70 disaster In politics II is always
wisdom to keep down the middle OF the
rosd
Finally, and most important Of all,
the representatives Of the Democratic
party who are in places Of power must
keep true TO the principles OF Democracy
and apply them fearlessly. The party
that does not stand staunch and true tC
its own principles when in power cannot
expect its voters TO 60 to the polls on ths
