AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

Inaugural Address of tho New President
of Brazil.
WASHINGTON, Dso. 16.-The bureau of
American republics has received the
full inaugural address of President Pru.
dente de Moress, delivered November
10Th.
The new president is the frat to be
elected to that high Office by the voice
of the people OF Brazil-his two prede-
cessors having been elected by the vote
of the national congress.
The president speaks OF the disseneion
and strife through which the republic
has passed since it's inception, Novem-
Der 15. 1889, and closes with patriotic
apostrophe to the loyalty and confidence
of his countrymen.
1t is learned by the bureau that the
long pending boundary question be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia has been at
last settled by treaty agreement be-
tween the two countries. Bolivia ac-
quires territory which gives her an out
let along the right bank of the Para
gusy river ior distance of about 20
leagues.
The bureau 10 notified that the repub-
lie of Honduras has adopted the gold
dollar Of the United States as its
standard coin.

no need for their coming. The value OF
such a document will be understood
when the methods for securing sigma.
lures are known.
But such Investigations should be
made most vigorously, either to relieve
the government from unjust charges If
the statements are incorrect, or, II they
are proven, to bring about punishment
OF the guilty parties.
Though our missionaries in Eastern
Turkey are often upon the Moosh plain,
where there are many out stations In
which the evangelical work is conducted
by them, vet their work has not extends
ed into the Sassuun district. and hence
they have had no direct reports from the
scene OF the massacre.
THE sULTAN's APPRECIATION.
Papers from Constantinople, entirely
under the control of the Turkish censors
of the press, announce that the sultan
has sent one of his imperial guards to
the city of Erzingnsn. in Eastern Turkey,
to carry a decoration to Zekki Pashs,
the commander of the Fourth army
CORPS. which is located there.
Zekki Pasha is the military COM
msnder who led the troops against the
deienseless villages in the Sassoun
dsetrict at the time OF the massacre.
Another envoy carries four banners from
the sultan to the four leading Kurdish
chiefs who were associated with the
military commandant in the reported
massacre. and who probably we're the
instigators of it. After the aultan has
thus approved OF the action of hin troops
and of the Kurds, it will be impossible
for any commission appointed by the
Turkish government to investigate the
outrages and bring any report that re-
fleets either on the Kurds or the army.
By this act the sultan seems to assume
all the responsibility fos Whist has been
done.
ALL CHRIsTENDoM AROUSED.
These stories OF wrong and oppression
have aroused the civilized world. We
are glad to learn our government has
directed one of it's conuuls to make an
independent investigation OF all matters
connected with the reported massacre.
But our government does not stand in
the same relations to Turkey as do the
European powers that, under the treaty
OF Berlin, secured the right of seeing
that good government was maintained
throughout the Turkish empire. The
rights thus guaranteed ought now be
exercised and the first step should be
the most thorough investigation as to
the conduct OF affairs throughout
Armenia. We cannot doubt that the
European powers will attend to their
duty.
The winter is not favorable time for
visiting Eastern Turkey, where the
snow is often from eight to twelve feet
deep. Time and patience will be re-
quired.
Erzingnan. which is referred to in the
preceding statement, is a city 96 miles
southwest of Erzeroum, situated on the
Euphrates, in the midst OF the mount
aims. 1t is not noted for the energy of
its people, both Turks and Armenians.

these conditions remain, our govern
ment is likely to wait patiently, but
should there be any fresh attacks by
Germany upon American interests,
there ia reason to believe the admins
tration will have recourae to the retalia-

articles, the importation of which into
the United States in volume about

The Convenience of the Gas Cooking Stove.
WITHOUT exception, no doubt, every
housewife has experienced many incon-
veniences necessarily connected with
the coal cooking stove. The kindling
must be provided and coal brought from
the cellar. After the fire is started it
may not burn, and from half 10 one
hour is required to heat the stove before
the meal can be started. With a gas
stove it is the reverse. No preparation
is needed. When the food is ready for
the stove the gas is lighted and the heat
is applied at once. Call at our Office and

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
Right 10 the Poin,

Editor Constitution have read with
much interest your editorials asking I'm be-
half of the people the enactment of a gen.
eral election law which viii preserve and
secure for generations to come the purity
of the ballot. Assuming that the cry which
comes from all parties and sections for
free ballot and n fair count" is sincere.
let US have a law that Will secure il with
approximate, il not absolute certainty. Let
il be known FAR and wide throughout the
union that there is one state where fraUdu-
lent elections are unknown. Please allow
me to suggest the outlines of law which
will secure a fair election. hoping that some
legislator will prepare bill embodying the
provisions and pcrfecting the details. The
Australian system gives too much privacy
and power To election managers. y gen
cral registration law for the state would
be better than the present regulations, bat
would not secure what we need-approxi-
mate certainty. The history Of registra-
ton laws in the counties in
our state shows that registra-
ton. with officers, certain hours.
certain dates and uncertain names and
faces and uncertain numbers of streets is
cumbersome, tedious and unsatisfactory.
We want TO be rid of the lists of de-
faultsTS transcribed and hawked about
from one ward and precinct 10 another and
politicians and sosses rushing TO registra-
out to enter the names of such voters.
We want the defaulters' lists abolished
ana let them take care of themselves IL
they wish TO vote.
The more you consider the following
plan the more favorably you Will be i'm
pressed with its justice and efficiency.
First, require the tax collector I'm each
county thirty days before an election-or
during the month Of January would be
much better-to furnish to the ordinary of
each county in permanent form a list of
the qualified voters. Provide that a citizen
removing from another county or state
may have his name entered, through the
tax collector, by presenting his tax re-
ceipt OF the previous year. or If lost, a GER
tifcate from the tax collector that il is
paid. Let the lists be kept in the ordi-
nary's office. but open for inspection. Pro-
vide for the entering of names omitted
through oversight OF the tax collector and
suitable penalties for intentional fraud.
Pay him for his extra labor what II is
worth.
Second. require every voter to vote in
his own ward or precinct.
Third, require the ordinary to appoint
or allow at least, one representative from
each political party.
Fourth. let one manager appointed from
each ward or precinct constitute a con
soIidating board and in the presence of the
ordinary as chairman, consolidate the re
turns.
Fifth. il the 'heelcrs and bosses" around
the polls are not sufficiently suppressed by
foregoing provisions. provide by special
enactment for their suppression.
Objections, e sought, can he found to
any plan on earth. but if "a free ballot and
. fair count" is really desired embody
the above in statutory law and you've
got-it. PATRIOT.
