AFRAID OF 1T,

1t requires an optimistic mind to
extract from the speech of the Mar
quis of Salisbury on foreign affairs
the e-colored opinion of the prob
able policy to be pursued by England
toward Turkey which the admirers
Of the present English ministry seem
to entertain. If England is pleased
with the tone of Salisbury's remarks
it is easily satisfied. He says that
the government has accepted the
policy that it's predecessors initiated,
which is very well as far as it goes.
But as to the future he gives only
this guarantee: 1.-THE permanence
of the Sultan'S rule is involved in the
conduct he pursues. If the cries of
misery continue, the sultan must
realize that Europe will become
weary of appeals, and the fictitious
strength which the powers have
given the empire will fail it," This
is a weak threat to pour into the
ears of a sovereign as intractable as
the sultan of Turkey. The power
that rules at Constantinople should
find relief in a menace, when it had
reason to expect action.
The critical phrase in Salisbury's
speech is this: ''If the cries of
misery continue" The condition of
action by the European powers, then,
according to the view of the English
government, is that there shall be
another series of outrages in Ar
menia before they will consent to in
terfere. The sultan has already
promised reform. It IS an old habit
Of his. Nothing is cheaper or more
plentiful in Turkey than promises.
Nothing is moro absolutely worth
less. Past experience has demon
strate beyond further question the

resentations ny Turkey. She has tlone

IF the cries of misery continue" is
con.emptible utterance to fall from
the lips of an English statesman.
The condition of Armenia recalls
those passionate lines of Milton on
the fate of the slaughtered saints in
Piedmont. Well may they who have
shuddered at Armenia's fate cry out:
"How long, o Lord, how long?"
What shall constitute the end and
contamination of Turkeys Offend
ing? When will the civilized world
act in the name of common human
ity? Salisbury says, although the
powers have already notified the
sultan that Armenia must be pro-
tected by their official act, that this
will be done only eff the cries of
misery continue Virtually he
promises that the Christians of the
East shall have adequate protection

proud of such craftsmanship. The

By February, 1894, it became ap-

to afford relief by any change in the
vicious system, and gold redemp-
tons set in again with renewed force.
Three-fifths of the redemptions of
that year were made between Feb

a calm like the relief after the ces-

entire redemptions since that time,
amounting to S4,319 ,094, were not as

Paradox of the Markets.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The present aspect of the grain
markets of the world shows a curious
state of affairs. 1t is universally con-
coded that the crop of corn throughout
every state in which that cereal is
grown is in a magnificent condition,
and the yield will simply be enor-
nous. Even in Kansas, where the en-
ed, the corn is in splendid condition.
Never in it's history has there been
such a promising yield. And yet in
the face of all this plenty, yes super
abundance, the price of corn is boosted
up three cents a bushel since last Mon
day. But wheat, with yield so small
in some of the states as to make pros
pectiVe famine, is so perSiStently and
necessarily hammered by short sellers
as to approach the panic prices of 1894,
and the early months of the present
year. The worlds supply, according to
the usual accurate statistics of Beer
bohm, will be 224,0O0G00 bushels less
than last year The visible supply of
the United States is 25,000,OOO bushels
less this year than the same time last
year. The entire crop, as estimated by
the government stattsticians, who GER
tainly are unbiased in their opinions,
gives US a percentage that on a basis
of 500,C00,C coo bushels as an average
crop will certainly not give us more
than 360,00O,0G0 as the entire crop of
wheat, not taking into consideration
nearly 20 per cent in area of wheat
cultivation in the Dakotas, and also
not allowing for the enormous per-
centage of winter wheat that has been
SO deteriorated as to be refused for
assertion, we have but to look at our
market reports Kansas, state
that in an ordinarily favorable
year would raise from 1900, eco to So,

of this will be fit for milling purposes.
California is reported to have the
smallest crop that has been raised in
twenty-seven years, and SO through
all the winter wheat states. The great
Northwest, whose crop on a full aver
age crop OF $4,000, coo is $50, 600 900 when
the average acreage is planted, now
on a government calculation of 50
supply the entire deficiency in the
winter wheat region with it's 49, 800 900
bushels, less the decreased acreage.
Every day the papers are flooded
yields of wheat. One man in the neigh
borhood of Yankton, S. D., tells of
fifty measured acres producing $4,000
bushels of wheat. and so on to the

the bearish element. And to what
purpose is all this mass of fabrica-
ton? A dealer remarked in answer
to a query, that this is the farmers
harvest. and ii is also the elevator
companies harvest. The farmer has
to sell his wheat to pay his debts, and
the elevator is bound to get it as cheap
as it can. There are no exports, mas
much as the dealers in Liverpool and
other worlds markets will not buy
until they see the end of the ham,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 19.-Long
before o'clock every one of the 3OO0
chairs in the Auditorium was taken nv
the audience who had gathered to
listen to the first of twelve Joint dis
cusslons between William Bradley and
L. w. Hardin, Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for governor. The
seats were evenly divided between the
parusans of the two aspirants. On the
stage 400 seats were provided for dis
tingufshed people. These chairs were
occupied by men well-known in state
politics, many of them being candi-
dates on the respective tickets When
Mayor Tyler called the assemblage to
order standing room was at a premium.
When Gen. Hardin came to the stage
there was cheer, but partisans of
Bradley were the more demonstrative.
Mayor Tyler in a few words called the
meeting to- order and introduced Gen.
Hardin.
On the subject of the finances, Gen.
Hardin said he opposed the policy of
London and New York bankers, and
the tn suicidal policy, of the Republican
Democrats, as individuals, claimed the
right to express themselves, and he
still claimed that right. Gen. Hardin
talked of the war and reconstruction
until Democrat shouted: 1.-THE war
is over; give us something =" The
speaker continued for short time to
talk of the reconstruction period and
of the conspiracy of 1873, by which
silver was demonetized. He favored
the restoration of silver to the place
it occupied before 1873 declaring that
he stood on the Chicago platform
The remainder of Gen. Hardin's speech
was a review Of the state government
under Democratic rule. 1t was 9:25
o'clock when Col. Bradley was intro
duced, and his partisans gave him an
ovation. He began by saying that he
would not discuss dead issues, nor
would he talk of the war. He favored
the gold standard and an International
agreement. Col. Bradley spoke for an
hour and thirty minutes, being fire.

BELL THE CAT TOGETHER,

The mice in the fable, who had hit
upon the sensible expedient of get
ting warning of the cats approach
by having her wear a bell about
her neck, were struck with conster-
nation when a simple question was
asked; who should attach the tinkling
ornament. In similar predicament
have been the city officials whose
salaries were affected by the resolu-
ton of the council reducing salaries.
Controller McCardy did have cour-
age enough to audit the pay rolls
in the interest of high salaries; but
the refusal of the council to approve
them kept the gap open. 1t would
be uncomfortable to draw no more pay
from the treasury, and the only
way to extract money from it now is
to bring suit for salaries unpaid,
and let the court settle what the
rate of compensation is to be- It
is right here that the question, who
shall bell the cat, becomes again a
living one.
The prosecution of legal proceed
ings will not be pleasant duty for
the individual who undertakes it,
There is to be an election next spring.
Every man holding office knows that
a majority of the voters of st. Paul
approve the salary reductions made.
They may not be legally valid, but
the people believe that they were
morally necessary and right. Con-
sequently, the official who sues for
ducats denied would have to bear the
entire odium. He would step right
into the embrace of an enraged feline
In this dilemma, where to hold back
and to go forward seem equally disas-
trous, the mice have plucked up their
courage, and now it is said that
every one of them will lay hold Of the
string, while they all try at the
same time to fix the bell firmly All
will bring suits for salaries, so that
there may be no invidious distinc-
tons. Financially this may be profit
able, but we doubt much if it will
bring in political returns. The peo-
pie are in dead earnest about the re-
auctions of expenses and taxation.
The holder of office who has political
ambitions would find, at this mo-
ment, that the voluntary surrender
of that portion of his salary con-
demned by the council, though a
pecuniary sacrifice, would be the best
investment that he ever made. We
advise all of them to think this over
before they make their final concert
ed rush to bell the treasury cat.

things not laid own in it's platforms.
A party is judged by what it does
rather than by its promises of what
it will or will not do, made when it
is out of power. So, applying this
test to the party's action on the
standards, we find, historically, that
it made gold the single standard Of
this country, and that, too, in 1884
in the administration of a Democrat
canonized in the hearts Of thousands
of Democrats today And gold has
been the standard, tie real, official
and actual standard from that day
to- this-even during the days of

Democratic, Wing and Republican
administrations.
