Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, may not
be a great man or a sincere man.
but if the worst that has been said
OF him is true, he at least shines
conspicuously when compared with
the Republican legislature of that
state. This body was elected when
the reaction against Democracy was
strongest in the fall of 1894. 1t con-
tanned a Republican majority so
large that the Democratic members
were powerless. 1t held a session
which was pretty nearly fruitless of
practical results, but was stained
by a succession of public scandals.
1t adjourned without touching upon
some OF the most important subjects
before 1t, and without making pro-
vision for the collection of revenue
sufficient to pay it's own appropria-
tions. 1t was called together again
in special session by the governor
to finish its neglected work. Soon
after its meeting, a resolution was
introduced providing for an investi
cation of formal charges of corrup-
ton among its members. That
measure was defeated by Republican
votes. 1t was revived, and the in
dignant clamor. of the public Sc

record was bound to be exposed by
an inquiry that could not be pre-
vented in the end, the boodlers ap-
pealed to their party associates and
forced another adjournment
There appears to be no question
about the situation. The charges of
corrupt action are public and spe-
cific. The newspapers in Chicago
are practically a unit in admitting
and condemning the facts. The
Times-Herald has published edito-
rally the names of a number of men,
bers of the legislature charged with
corrupt practices, describing in de-
tail their offenSes against public
morality. No man and no political
party can afford to ignore or evade
charges like this. The hasty ad-
journment of the legislature in or
der to escape the necessity of MAX
ing an investigation is a confess
sion that the facts alleged are true.
The Republican party of Illinois
stands convicted by its own act of
political corruption. 1t is impossible
not to believe that the record which
this legislature has made, and it's
blazoning of the fact that the Re-
publican party will welcome hood
lers to its bosom and shield them
from investigation and punishment,
will result in another transfer Of

that great stolid aggregation of un-
progressive beings, and what will be
its relation to the new forces that
are at work in the Asiatic continent,
has been a puzzle to statesmen. 1t
is not impossible that the solution
will be found in an. assumption by
the powers of the world of a control
of Chinese forces which will leave
the present ruling race in about the
same position as the native subjects
of British India. Events move rap
idly in this century, and it may be
that Chinese territory has been pre-
vented from passing into the control
of Japan by reason of European in
terference only in order that the EN-
pire OF the Sun may be administered
a little later on under the direction
Of the civilized peoples of the world.

Itinerary OF st. Paul TempIars En-
Route TO Boston.

The next matter of Importance to
engroSS the attention of local railroad
men is the coming conclave of the
Knights Templar, at Boston. The reg
ular itinerary of the event is in charge
of j. Dudley Condit, of the North
western road, who is a member of
Palladin commandery. His instruc-
tions are to spare neither effort nor ex-
pense, and he has decided to secure
five of the finest Pullman sleepers for
the commandery for the trip. Palladin
commandery, who will act as escort to
the grand commander of the state, will
leave here on a special train Aug %. at
7:3O p. m. The train will run right
through to Chicago, where a stop of
an hour will be made. Then the train
will be turned over to the Michigan
Central, on its trip to the East. At
Detroit stop of six hours is to be
made, and a short visit to places of
interest indulged in. Then the tour
continues to Niagara falls, where most
of Sunday will be spent At Buffalo
the next prolonged stop will be in
dulged in and the sights of the city
inspected. No efforts will be made to
return home in a body, as many of the
knights desire to visit in New York
and other places.

lender and the Vigilant sailed over
3254-mile course today from Cottage
City, Mass, to this port, the race
oelng an event in the cruising of the
New York Yacht club. The sea was
smooth, and the wind varied in veloc-
lty from ten to fifteen miles an hour.
For twenty miles. down to the Vine
yard sound ightship, it was a dead
beat to windward and the Defender
beat the Vigilant by about five minutes.
When the racers got within two miles
OF the home mark the breeze fell off
somewhat, but the Defender went
ahead just the same, and finally won
by nine minutes and nine seconds. The
Nigilant was ahead of the Jubilee by
ten minutes and forty-nine seconds.
The Queen Nab corrals the cup offered
by Secretary j. S. V. Oddoe for single

OF runs from port to port. The De-
render will get the cup presented by

LOST A MILLION.
First National Bank of Chicago
Reduces Its Surplus.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The First Ma
uonal bank has charged off from its
surplus $1,OOO,O00, transferring that sum
to the profit and loss account. Never
before have such heroic measures been
taken by Chicago bank. In charging
on this large sum from it's surplus, the
directors have completely wiped out
the real estate which the bank has
taken at one time or another, and
which is said to represent a value of
some S400,OOO. There is nothing to say
about the matter" said President
Gage, further than that the bank has
made losses and accumulated doubtful
assets, which it has now been deemed
wise TO charge off in this sweeping
way. We might have worried along
and brought out all of those assets. so
no loss would have been shown. If we
are still able to do that it will simply
go into profits as we realize on them.

MOVING ATT LAST

Inc action of the powers that
signed the treaty of Berlin. by which
alone the Turk remains in Europe.
is a hopeful indication that he will
no longer be permitted to satisfy his
criminal appetite at the expense of
the Christian people of Armenia. The
treaty powers have notified the porte
that, since Turkey is unable to pro-
tect the lives Of her Christian sub
Jects, the powers will appoint a Eu-
ropean high commissioner. with vice
regal authority, to administer Ar
menia in the name of the sultan.
The name of the person intended
for this high office is given, but that
IS of less Importance than the fact
that the great nations of Europe
have at last decided that the rule
of atrocity in Armenia must come
to an end.
UP to this time the powers have
acted only when the appeal was
made to their financial interests. The
fellaheen of Egypt might have
groaned forever under the dominion
OF the sultan of Turkey and his su-
bordinates, and all Europe would
have remained deaf. But when if an
peared that the incompetence of
turkish rule would prevent the in
tereSt on Egyptian bonds from be-
ing paid, the English conscience was
instantly touched and awakened. So.
Wherever it was a question of money
or of territorial extension. If has
been easy enough to secure foreign
interference. But where it was q
question of humanity, governments
We're slow to move. We hope that
this last step upon which the pow
ers have agreed, under the goad Of
a Worldwide remonstrance against
Turkish cruelty, will be but the be-
ginning of a settled policy that shall
reduce the area of Turkish rule un-
til the interloper is finally driven out
of Europe. There is no other rene-
| dy, no other security for the help-
less people who have been subject
for centuries to Turkish oppression.
The sultan is already attempting
to break the force Of this significant
movement by an offer of reform.
He promises to restrain the Kurdish
marauders. and to give the Chris
share hn
the provinces. This proposition
! ought not to be and must not be
accepted The rulers of Europe know
| the temper and the treacherous dis
position of the sultan too we'll to be
| beguiled. He is anxious to calm the
| present excitement, and to bridge
| over the difficulty which the fiendish
| outrages perpetrated by his soldiery
| and subjects have occasioned. Let
the movement pass, and the old con-
dition of things will be restored. The
| powers have at last been shaken out
OF their inertia, and have had given
to them an occasion for instant and
imperative action. They cannot af-
ford to retract, nor will public opin-
ion permit them.
The proposed method of admins
tering Armenia will retain, for the
| present, the fiction of Turkish su-
premacy, and will, in name, leave
Turkish territory intact. 1t estab-
fishes, however, a European protec-
torate over the country and the peo-
pie who have suffered so terribly at
the hands of the Turk. Virtually, it
constitutes a new province out of a
part of the Turkish empire, making
it state governed by, subject to
and under the protection of the
principal nations of Europe. This is

A paragraph in the New Ulm
News begins this way: 1.-The ST.
Paul G o b e, which has become a
champion of gold to the exclusion
Of silver, ETC." Now why not tell
the truth? Is there any cause, even
that of free coinage, that benefits
by falSehood? Neither the editor of
the News nor any other person can
point to a single utterance of the
G o b e that looks ''to the exclusion
of silver" or anything remotely re-
sembling it. We have $500, 900, 600 to
70O,O00,G00 of silver money, of one
form or another, in use in the United
States. We know of nobody who
proposes to discontinue the use of
one dollar Of it. The fault which
the writer of the sentence above
quoted has to fird with the Glob e
is that it does not believe in a policy
which looks to the use of silver to
the exclusion of gold. Then why
should not the silver monometallist
confess it honestly?
