The Turkish Troubles.

Such condition Of affairs as at pres
ent exists in European and Asiatic Tur-
kew, has not been excelled in difficulty
of solution by any Of the periodical con-
vulsions brought about by the "Turk-
ish troubles" of this century.
We see government, nominally one
of the great powers of Europe and pre-
sumably governed by the same interna'
tional law and comfy, that is holding
civilized Europe back from wars and in.
ternal strife, wholly powerless to pre-
vent the massacre by tens Of thousands
of its subjects and yet slow to act, even
though action be the merest pretense'
We see it coldly calculating upon its
chances of not being driven to real ac'
ton by the other great powers, the basis
of calculation of such chance being the
almost certain belief that the applica'
ton of force would result in its own dis,
memberment this belief is to day, the
strongest factor inTurkish reliance up
on chances. This seems 20 be a most
contradictory statement, yet it is true
beyond question, for Turkish statesmen
are shrewd and well.informed, and they
know full we'll that the dismemberment
and partition of Turkey would almost
certainly preciptate general war be.
tween the nations of Europe and they
rely confidently upon Europe's dread
of such war, to prevent any serious
application of force in their affairs, to
be followed by results so terrible to all.
So long, therefore, as Europe permits
her fear and dread of results to be man
ifest, just so long will Turkey presume
upon the fact, to promise again and a
gain, only to break the promises and in
the meanwhile the fanatical followers
of Mahomet will continue to slaughter
the Sultan's christian subjects.

A Dear Price.

OF what benefit is it to the farmers of
the Connecticut valley, the Springfield
Union pointedly asks, that nearly S13, 600
600 worth 1872, 7O3,571 of foreign leaf to-
bacco was waiting in our bonded ware
houses April l, as the statistics show, to
pass into consumption in the United States
How will the 81, 100000 sent abroad to
pay for this foreign tobacco help to i'm
prove the value of our New England
farms? Will it pay off the debts upon
any of our homesteads? Will it enable
any of our farmers to undertake contem-
plated improvements, erect new farm
buildings, buy new clothes, harness or
tools, or will it add any to the bank ac-
count that has been growing far too slowly
in recent years? 1t is simply the price
paid, in one department of agriculture, for
the control of our national policy by lot
of professors and theorizers.

who would Lose ana who would Gain

Who Would Lose and who Would Gain
The best answer which has been made
to the free silver fallacies, so cunningly
exploited in "Coin's financial SCHOOL,
publication which has deluged the West
and been widely circulated the country
over-is conceded to be that OF a writer in
the Bankers Magazine, who points out
who would be the gamers and who the
losers by the free coinage of silver and the
depreciation of the silver dollar. Depre-
ciated silver certificates, silver dollars, sub
sidiary silver, treasury notes issued against
purchases of silver bullion, greenbacks
outside the treasury, and United States
bonds payable in "coin," would entail
losses on banks, savings banks, trust com
panies and the general public, and the
United States government would gain. As
to national bank notes, the banks would
gain and the people would lose. Savings
banks and private investors who hold state
and municipal bonds would lose, and states
and cities issuing such securities would
gain. Railroads would lose, because they
would receive their earnings in silver.
Their bonds, the writer remarks, are largely
payable in gold. Savings banks and the
people would lose by the depreciation of
the mortgage debts of street railways, bus
iness corporations and business property,
and the corporations and other owners of
such mortgaged property would gain.
The loss on farm mortgages would fall
on savings banks and private investors,
and owners of mortgaged farms would gain.
National banks would be the gamers by
the depreciation of deposits, and the de-
positors, numbering 3,400 600, would be
losers. Savings bank depositors number
4,1I7,OO more, and these too, would suf-
fer by the depreciation of silver. The
writer says that the general government
state and city governments, banks and saw
ing institutions and other corporations do
not desire free silver; nor do the brokers,
merchants and business men, "who owe
nearly all the money on discounts" desire
free silver, and only a relatively small num-
Der of debtors, persons loaded up with
mortgages, representing about II per cent
of the country's debtors, are camoring for
"a deprecated silver dollar with which to
nav off their dehts -

MINOR NOTES.

Theodore Roosevelt, the prominent
young New Yorker who resigned recently
from the civil service commission to ac-
cept an appointment as police commission
er of the metropolis, has astonished delin-
quent policemen and higher officers by his
unannounced nightly visits.
Police Inspector Mclaughlin of New
York city is now confined in a cell in
the Tombs prison, having been found
guilty of eXtortion. His offence was in
accepting money from merchant who
wished to encroach upon the public rights
by using the sidewalk.
There is no such day as decoration
day. in the Grand Army calendar, says
the Milford journal. 1t is Memorial day
and so established in the constitution of
the order. Decoration day" is April 26,
and is observed in the South for honoring
those who fell fighting against the Union.
Senator Proctor, on being interviewed in
Washington this week, said: $50 far as
our state is concerned" said Mr.. Proctor,
''we are not talking about presidential
chances yet. 1t is too far ahead for that.
We will be satisfied with any good Repub-
lcan at the head of the national ticket
and all Republicans are good. We are
not discussing silver in Vermont. Our
people, of course, are for sound money,
the sounder the better. We are all in
favor of using silver as we have always
done, but, of course, do not approve of the
free coinage at 10 to theories"
The improved Maxim quick firing gun
surprised the army ordnance officers at
Sandy Hook last week Its weight has
been reduced to 25 pounds. Carried on
the back of a soldier it can be unslung, set
up, loaded and made ready for firing in less
than minute; and when the order to fire
is given, 720 rounds can be discharged in
60 seconds. In accuracy, in reliability, in
effectiveness, this improved automatic arm
is simply appalling. 1t has already been
adopted by European governments, and
this first official test held here has con-
vinced experts that there is no machine
gun in existence that is superior to the
Maxim.

Rev. DR.. Phillip S. Moxom of Spring
field, Mass, has declined the call to the
West Presbyterian church in New York
city at a salary of $4,000. DR.. Moxom is
now pastor of Congregational church and
in his letter to the West church he says:
81 am satisfied now that it would be
neither wise nor right for me to put my
self into such relations to the ecclesiastical
and theological systems of the Presbyte-
Iian church as it would be necessary for
me to assume in order to become your min
ister." In an interview DR.. MoXom is
quoted thusly: 81 cannot afford to be un-
der any rule, such as the general assembly
has seen fit to adopt, which prevents any
such thing as liberal and broad-minded in
depreciation of the Gospel"

A flibustering expedition left this coun-
try last week from Key West or st. Angus
tine, and landed safely in Cuba, province
of Las Villas. The filibusters were there
joined by about 2000 insurgents. The
Cuban rebellion is reaching formidable
proportions. Gen. Gomez, who was re-
ported killed by the Spanish newspapers,
has invaded Camaguey at the head of 2500
well-equipped men. The insurgents have
such confidence in their strength that they
come almost to the city limits of Santiago
to steal live stock. Our state department
is cooperating with the navy department
in preventing filibustering expeditions
from leaving the United States. The treas
ury department has been ordered to strict
ly enforce the neutrality laws in regard to
the shipment of arms for the insurgents.

An important Strike Decision in
Massachusetts.


Since the decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the Debs case,
which so clearly sets forth the scope of the
Federal authority in dealing with strikes
accompanied by intimidation and violence
on railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce and carrying the mails, decision has
been rendered by Judge Holmes, of the
Massachusetts supreme court, which lays
down the law respecting the rights of strik-
ers, and the limitations of their operations
in another direction. Proceedings to Sc
cure an injunction were instituted against
certain members of the upholsterers' union,
who, it was admitted, had conspired to
prevent the plaintiff from getting work
men and conducting his business until he
would adopt a schedule of prices which was
exhibited to him. To prevent him from
getting hands persuasion, and what the
court calls "social pressure" were resorted
to. There were threats of personal injury
to men seeking employment or already
employed, though no actual violence was
used, and the threats were good deal dis
guised.
In temporary injunction granted in
November it was ruled that such threats
should be enjoined. The defendants kept
two walking delegates in front of the
factory. The court held that such patrol
was not illegal as long as the patrolmen
confined themselves to persuasion not to
make contracts and giving notice of the
strike; but it also held that persuasion
to break existing contracts was unlawful.
The permanent injunction which has now
been granted is limited to enjoining the
defendants from meddling with the plain
tiff's business by physical interference with
anyone entering or departing from the
premises, or by expressed or implied threats
of violence to the persons or property of
those who are or desire to be employed in
the building. The case is test case, and
regarded as of the highest Importance. 1t
will be brought before the full bench of the
supreme court for final disposition.

Another Brooklyn Bridge Jumper

eral others have jumped from the bril-

made the leap and lived, and Cohen makes
the fifth. Others have claimed to have
jumped from the bridge, but there is not
sufficient evidence to support their claim.
Brodie, who jumped or claimed to have
jumped in 1887, has made a small fortune
out of the notoriety he gained. Cohen
claims to have jumped to kill himself, as
ne could find no work, but when he reached
the water he was observed to swim vigor-

Postal Service and the Telegraph.

Patrick B. Delaney, veteran telegraph
er, thinks that the government could do
the work now covered by the postal SER
vice vastly better by means of the telegraph.
OF course, radical changes have to take
place. Mr.. Delaney shows that at present
it costs the telegraph companies three cents
to bring message from a customer to the
office, and another three cents to deliver
it, As this rate is based on an average of
20 words per minute with hand transmits
sion and 80 words per minute with the
quadrupleX working it is easy to under
stand that the companies cannot telegraph
for less than existing rates. But hand
working and great numbers of cheap wires
will soon be things of the past. Automatic
systems and few big copper wires reach
ing out to the principal cities will have
vastly increased capacity, and will before
long be employed to carry quantities of
correspondence which at present we do not
dream Of Mr.. Delaney says: "Why should
the government insist on carrying our let
tiers by train at thirty miles an hour in
stead of by telegraph? Why waste "a
hours in covering the distance between New
York and Chicago? There are about So
wv iNNbNAS N-NNLhllSNu btlNtGli view YIN
and Chicago daily. Assuming that they av-
erage fifty words each, all could be tele-
graphed over two copper wires the size of
lead-pencil, with time to spare"
1t has been demonstrated that with the
automatic chemical method 1000 words per
minute can be recorded perfectly between
New York and Chicago, over a one ohm
per mile wire. Messages can be perforated
at the rate of 25 words Der minnie and
typewriters can print from the received
tape at the same speed. On this basis let
ters of 80 words could be perforated, trans
mitted, printed and delivered through the
mails at a cost of about five cents. This
is what Mr.. Delaney says we are coming
to if the government will only take hold of
the work. 1t will be curious and inter
esting to watch the bearing of the enor-
nous development of telephony which is
close at hand, and to see what part it will
play in the cheapening of kilograms, wheth-
er the government acquires control of the
telegraph service of the country or not.

Hon. Elmer B. Adams, recently appoint
ed by President Cleveland as judge of the
eastern district of Missouri, was born at
Pomfret in 1912. He graduated from Yale
in 1865, studied law with Gov. p. T. Wash
burn and c. P. Marsh at Woodstock and
at Harvard. He has practiced law in Mis-
souri, since 1868. In accepting the appoint
ment he sacrifices an income several time
as great as he will receive on the bench.
He is, however, we'll able to afford this,
being possessed of a private fortune esti-
mated at 100000.
