An Appeal to Civilization.

According to the information fnr-
nished by the Turkish government to
its legation in Washington, the Turks
in Armenia have made narrow escape
from annihiIation. Instead OF the
Turks turning on the Armenians, tor
turing and killing them, it was the Ar
menians who set upon the unodendinG
aud always gentle Turks.
In the light of this highly important
news it seems strange that the Arme-
mans, once they had taste of Turkish
blood, did not overrun all Turkey. in
Europe and in Asia, and wipe from the
map that empire OF iustice.loving souls.
The story sent to the Turkish legation
in Washington is "a likely lie." There is
not au atom OF probability in the whole
Of it. Tho subject weak do not torture
and kill the dominant strong. The
lamb does not attack the wolf.
The story OF tho inhuman treatment
Of the Armenians-the violation OF their
women, even their girls Of tender age;
scalding and burning to death; desc
Grating churches aud Strengthening
priests-uothing that is told is improb-
able or inconsistent with the Turkish
character as the world knows it OF
course Turkey would lie about it, for
the sultan and his advisers fear the
aroused wrath OF the civilized world.
But the civilized world knows what
has happened, and knows that it may
all be repeated any day unless Turkey
be taken promptly by the throat. The
true story of the Armenian horrors is
an appeal to civilization to assert itself
against barbarism. BY concert OF action
Turkey can be forced to make such
aInends as can be made for what has
been done, and she can be compelled to
give such guarantees as shall afford
protection in the future.
These guarantees will be given and
probably carried out in good faith II

stand that the alternative is the blot.

Tho rnrln Three Years Hence.


Some able and entertaining newspa-
pers think it worth while TO discuss
whether the Republican party, when it
gets into full control, will rc-enact the
Mckinley law. Some think it will and
some think it will not; and some OF
them are getting hot about it.
The Republican party cannot be in
full control until it shall have seated a
Republican president, which cannot be
before March 4, 1897. After that, un'
less an extra session be called, Congress
will not convene before December Of
tina. year, so that three years must
pass before there can be any legislation
for which the Republican party will be
responsible.
To say that the Mckinley law will
then be re.enacted is to say that some.
body is to-day wise enough to know
that in tho judgement oil tho Republi'
can party law passed seven years be-
fore will be considered the best that can
be done with the tariff question. This
view mny be taken when the time
comes, but it is hardly likely to be.

sell to the situation as it shall be at tina,
time. As nobody knows now what that
situation will be, nobody can at this
time toretell what the tariff schedules
will be.
The best thing protectionists can dc
is to do what thoy can to mako sure
that the Republican party shall have
the making OF tariff bills and all Other
legislative measures after Mr.. Cleveland
goes out.

have changed his mind. The foreign

on platform, his weight releases a
weight that springs a trap, and that
does the work Of the hangman.
If the ingenious idea shall work out
satisfactorily in the state Of wooden

suicide is SO droll as to take from the
