NIaryInnd and kentucky.

Much interest attaches to the political
contests now in progress in Maryland and
Kentucky, where the Democrats are bat
tling desperately to hold their own. In
NJ aryland Senator Gorman's ticket is being
warmly attacked by the independent Dem
ocrats, who object to Gorman's bossism
and the prediction of Republican success
is freely made. In Kentucky, Hardin, the
Democratic nominee for governor, and
Blackburn, who wants to succeed himself
in the Senate, are angering the sound-mon-
ey element of their party by their declara-
tions for free coinage, and Secretary Car
isle has been sent for in the hope of
moothing out the differences. The fact
that the Republicans have been obliged to
retire Col. Bradley, their nominee for gov
ernor, from the series of Joint debates with
Hardin which had been arranged, will not
help the Democratic cause. At a joint
citing at Eminence Col. Bradley was
simply howled down and the mob became
abusive and riotous when he tried to con-
tinue. 1t is to Hardn's credit that he con-
demned these proceedings and himself re-
fused to speak after his opponent was ST

The Dreadful Truth About Armenia.

According to long article contributed
to the current number of the Contempt
rary Review by E. j. Dillon, who has per-
sonally investigated the subject, the facts
in regard to the Turkish massacre of Chris
tians in Armenia are beyond anything
which has been even suggested heretofore.
Statements vouched for by him show that
the Sassoun massacre, which sent shud-
der to the hearts of the most callous, was
an act of mercy compared with the hellish
deeds that are perpetrated in Armenia
every day of the year.
Told in its briefest terms Mr.. Dillon's
statement is that in 1891 the Sublime
Porte, fearing serious dangers from the
promised introduction of reforms in Arme-
mia, and from the expected hostility in war
time of the Christians living in provinces
bordering upon Russia, took deliberate
meas ures for the determination of the Ar
menian Christians. As the means to this
end the Hamidieh cavalry, so called, was
organized, composed exclusively of Koords,
and stationed throughout the Armenian
provinces, armed, equipped, and regularly
paid for their diabolical service On their
part, the Kroods fulfilled their mission
with scrupulous eXactness; robbing rich
AImenians, looting houses, burning grain
and hay, lifting cattle, rayishing young
| girls, dishonoring married women, driving
away entire populations, and killing all
who were manly or mad enough to resist.
One OF the most startling revelations
made by Mr.. Dillon is that English and
American people have NOT even remote
notion of the extent to which young mar
ried women and girls are outraged all over
Armenia by Turkish soldiers, Koordsh
officers and brigands; and outraged with
such accomplishments of nameless brutality
that their agonies often culminate in hor-
Iible death. Girls of twelve or eleven,
nay, of nine, are torn from their families
and outraged in this way by bands of men
whose names are known, and whose deeds
are approved by the local representatives
of law and order. The massacre Of Sas-
soun, the writer adds, was only one in a
series of horrible atrocities planned and re-
lentlessly executed by the orders of the
Turkish government.
The sum of Mr.. Dillon's statement is
that unless England fulfls the obligations
to which she is bound by the treaty of
Berlin and puts stop to these massacres
we shall see a solution of the Armenian
problem which will disgrace mankind.
There will cease to be an Armenian ques-
tion, because there will be no Armenans
left.
The latest information is to the effect
that the British government has served
peremptory notice on Turkey that these
outrages must stop, and has sent three wal
ships to see that the demand is obeyed.

Mr.. Waller's letter to Mrs. Waller is said
to have described the conduct of the French
troops with well-deserved severity. For
writing these letters, which were filched
from the mailbag and opened by the French
the terrible penalty was imposed. That
no circumstance of humiliation might be
wanting Mr.. Waller was manacled when he
was sent to France for Imprisonment. He
was a prisoner and unarmed and there
were hundreds of Frenchmen on board the
transport, yet he was chained as if he had
been a tiger. Until Mr. Eustis succeeded
in securing for Mr.. Waller some small com
forts in prison the latter was treated with
utterly unnecessary severity after he was
landed in France.
There is a square chance, as the Trans
cript suggests, that it is shame at this per-
formance more than anything else that
leads France to hold back the records.
But they will have to come in the end and
with them, there is not much doubt, Wal
ler's release and bill for damages.

The nannoeks Were Murdered.

The story brought back by Gen.
Coppinger from the scene of the alleged
"Bannock uprising" at Jacksons Hole,
shows beyond chance of any question that
it was not an uprising or war, or even a
menace of one. 1t was "atrocious, out
rageous and cold blooded MURDER" of
which the perpetrators were civilized white
men and the victims uncivilized redskins.
The Indians gave no provocation. The
whole business was conceived, organized
and executed by the whites. The men
who were foremost in making the plan
and committing the murders were not
reckless and half-lawless cowboys, but
civil officers of the state of Wyoming.
A Wyoming constable seems to have been
the prime mover in it, aided and abetted
by posse of his deputies. These worthless
determined to have the Indians driven out
of that region altogether. They therefore
entered into conspiracy to bring on an
'.Indian war;" They selected the game
laws of Wyoming as an instrument for
vamping up an alleged cause for war.
They got some settlers to complain falsely
that the Indians were slaughtering game
in violation of the law and then the attack
and killing followed
In the manner of the killing-with
defenseless men shot in the back--and the
treatment of the wounded and dead, the
slaughter is worse than that which the
japanese are charged with perpetrating on
the helpless Chinese at Port Arthur. AS
the case stands Jackson's Hole is blot on
the map of the United States. 1t is said
that there is no way for the state laws of
Wyoming to reach the murderers. If this
is true, which seems impossible, there
should be some means by which the hand

The first annual convention of the In
ternational Deep Waterways association is
to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. "a. 26.
The convention will be composed of dele
gates representing states, provinces, cities,
towns, boards of trade and other business
and commercial bodies in the United
States and Canada. The gathering will
undoubtedly mark the beginning of a def
mite, well-directed movement to secure the
construction of waterway between the
Atlantic ocean and the great lakes ade-
quate for large ocean-going vessels. The
topics to be discussed will include the
economics of deep-water transportation,
the ultimate effect of deep water from the
great lakes to the sea on the iron, coal,
lumber, grain and flour, cattle, meat, rail-
way and ship-building interests, with
other allied subjects. The facts which
will thus be presented cannot fail TO pro-
duce strong impression on the public
mind, and we may confidently expect to
see this important movement gain impetus
from this time forth.

From the Boston Journal

The Sir Knights from the Green Mount
ain state as they marched 600 strong
through the streets of Boston received a
genuine ovation from the thousands of
spectators that were on the line of the pa
rade. At the reviewing stands the Yer
monters were cheered as they passed by
and in the estimation of many critical OBJ
servers of the parade the Vermont Grand
Commandery and the subordinate com
manderies deservedly shared the honors of
the day with the most famous command
cries from other states.
The Sir Knights from the Green Mount
ain state were complimented not only on
their fine appearance, but also ON their
marching. Their formation while passing
the reviewing stands was in double sections
at full distance, and they presented solid
appearance as a body; the several com
manderies moved with military precision.
1t was great day for Vermont, and her
Templars who participated in the great
triennial parade have reason to feel proud
of the distinction won by them on this oc-
casion.

A fleet of steel canal boats arrived at
New York city last week from Cleveland,
Ohio. AS they are the first steel canal
boats ever constructed in this country,
their arrival caused futter of excitement
in New York and the towns along the Erie
canal, and crowds OF people tocked TO see
them. They cost little more than the old
style wooden canal boats which could not
safely cross the lakes. The new vessels
can carry cargoes direct to Duluth. The
canal people regard the enterprise as the
beginning of the revival Of the Erie canal
trade The boats will last longer cost
less for repairs, and can be insured at low
er rates than wooden ones. The thing
which now remains in the way of rehabil-
itating the canal traffic is the shallow depth
of water and a movement is to be made to
secure an appropriation of $4,000, 600
from the next New York legislature for
deepening it.

The Tobacco War.

The present war existing between the big plug
tobacco manufacturers is proving very interest
who are profiting by this war. The manufactur-
ers are unquestonahly losing a great deal Of
money. and, as far as we can see, the whole cause
of the war is on account Of a brand of plug to-
powerful weapon as its name Implies. The
manufacturers Of Battle AK" claim it to be the
largest piece of high-grade goods ever sold for
the money. And the success of the brand, the
enormous quantity which is being sold, clearly
demonstrates that the consumers have not been
slow in detecting the fact that they have bar
gain. This has caused the demand for other
heretofore popular brands TO be greatly dimin-
ished. Hence the present great tobacco war.

The Waller Case.

The cautious and fair-minded Boston
Transcript reminds the Cleveland admins
tration that it would violate now its we'll
guarded traditions if it were to use more
vigorous and peremptory tone than it was
yet done in regard to the case of eX-Con-
sui Waller. Enough facts have been
learned since Wallers case came before the
public to suggest the reason for "the shut
fling evasion with which the French gov
ernment meets every demand for an official
copy of the records" These facts, as sum
married. by the Transcript, show that the
military court which sentenced Waller to
20 years. Imprisonment at hard labor was
in session but few hours. All it had be-
fore it to sustain the charge that Mr.. Wal
Ter was within the French lines giving aid
and comfort to the enemy were three of his
private letters to parties in Hova or Mala-
gasay towns. One letter was to Hova
lad who had asked Mr.. Waller to purchase
a revolver; a second was to Mrs. Waller,
and third was to business acquaintance.
The letter to Mrs. Waller contained the
matter that gave the most offence, if re-
ports of its contents are correct. The
French troops in Madagascar have been
accused of conduct the reverse of decent
and humane. Hova houses are said to have
been plundered right and left, and outrages
of the most revolving character are declar-

Price and Value---a Bit of Common
Sense on the Silver Question.

From the Boston Transcript
A suit of clothes which can be bought
today for $50 is not enhanced in value be-
cause the dealer chooses tomorrow to put
a S25 tag on it, He has raised the price
of the clothing, but he has not affected its
value. The same thing comes to pass if, by
any change in the currency, the purchas-
ing power of the dollars which the buyer
offers shrinks so that IL takes 25 of them
instead of 20 to persuade the dealer to part
with the suit. 1t is worth no more, but it
takes more dollars, OF more nominal dol
lars, to buy it. This distinction is vital
one. By ignoring it, wilfully or unwit-
tiugly, a confusion of ideas is produced.
The farmers, for example, are told that
with free coinage of silver they will receive
twice as much for their wheat. 1t may be
true that they will receive twice as many
of what purport to be dollars. But these
dollars are of use to them only as they can
be exchanged for commodities which they
need. So many bushels of wheat repre-
sent to them, practically, so many tools,
so much clothing, such and such necessa-
ries or comforts of life. But if it takes
more nominal dollars to buy this wheat it
will also take more nominal dollars to buy
the things which they want. 1t may be
assumed, as a matter of theory, that the
increase in price, as measured by nominal
dollars, will affect all commodities equally.
But if, as matter of fact, the change af-
fects commodities unequally, what ground
has the farmer for assuming that the inc
quality will lean in his favor? Is it not
quite conceivable that the rise in price of
the things which he needs will be more
rapid than in that of the things which he
sells? Whatever answer may be given to
these questions, it is at least in the interest
of clear thinking and sane discussion that
two terms which are so distinct as price
and value should not be confused.

The statement comes that Japan, in the
flush of her great victory, is to increase
her already respectable navy by four first
class armor-clad ba.tleships, six large first
class cruisers and twelve cruisers of the
second class. As Japan took one heavy
battleship and large number of cruisers
and torpedo boats from the Chinese, this
will give her naval force second only to
England, France, Russia and the United
States in all-around efficiency, and this ma
Wy can be so massed by the snug island en-
