The Years Holocaust.

The New York World recently re-
ported the death, on the street, of a
starved old man. Aa ambulance
drove up; surgeon examined the
body and said carelessly, "He's dead
drive on" Ex-Governor St. John
read the incident and penned the fol-
lowing pathetic and suggestive COM
ments. Who can read them without
blusling for the "Christian govern
ment" in which such things are not
only permitted but legalized?
"He's dead-drive on" "Drive on"
in the midst of ten thousand legaliz-
ed saloons, and a thousand church
spires pointing heavenwards and false
ly proclaiming to the world that this
is "Christian government" "Drive
on" while Wall Street sends its cart
loads OF gold to the sub-treasury, for
which the government gives another
mortgage for $5O,OOO,OOO on American
muscle.
"Drive on" while Levi P. Merton
makes his report of the 500 600 spent
to secure his election as governor of
New York. "Drive on" while Grover
Cleveland natures his plans to further
pauperize the people.
"Dlive on" while a combination of a
few men steal the nations wealth and
leave the masses to starve.
The dead of this year, and those
who are booked for the coming years
legalized slaughter, have robbed legiti-
mate trade and stole from their homes
and families $1OO,OOO,OOO every month
to pay for their delirious dance to
death.
And so-called Christians consent to
the mu der, and so-called business
men and statesmen continue the ex-
travagant waste year after year.
A month or two ago, Christendom
was shocked by the published accounts
of the murder of three thousand Ar
menians by the Turks. Indignation
meetings have been held in the largest
churches, prominent preachers and
distinguished laymen have eloquently
denounced the barbarous massacre,
and the American government has
been asked to interfere for the protec-
ton of Armenian christians. This is
right.
But while two thousand Americans
are being murdered every week in the
year, and many thousands of women
and children are being crushed down
into misery, the only protest is made
by the Prohibition party, and church
es are dumb. We do not forget
church resolutions, platitudinous but
futile, passed only because it is known
that words do not kill"
Christian voters are guilty of MUIR
der. God grant that the church of
Christ may be aroused during 1895,
and by Prohibition party ballots sup
press the alcoholic assassination

PORT TOWNSEND has reason to feel
eratifed over the result of the election
of directors and officers of the Oregon
improvement company. c. j. Smith
was never friend of this place. and the
Morning Leader has not hesitated to
say so, even when he was at the head
of the company's management in
this section. Elijah Smith has al
ways shown his friendship for Port
Townsend. It is not best to assume
teo much on this account, however.
for it is not at all certain that Elijah
Smith will in the near future. or ever
for that matter, undertake the COM
pletion of the Port Townsend South
ern. 1t is best in the long run to
build no false hopes. Elijah Smith
may be in position to complete this
road and he may not. At any rate
we now have a friend at court, and
that is greatly in our favor. This
ought to encourage us to do our level
best with that subsidy.-Port Town

Wicked Runaway.

There was a runaway on Water street,
Wednesday noon, that startled even those
who are accustomed to such sights. The
pair of horses attached to the Belgrade
stage started from the postof1ice and went
up Water street running wild. An elderly
woman was the only person in the vehicle
and sat in the middle seat where she
could not reach the reins. People held
their breath at the truly frightful sight
The woman appeared very calm and made
no attempt to leap from the stage which
swayed from side to side and narrowly
missed collision with several teams along
the route. At Bond brook the horses
SHE'D to one side to avoid the electric car
and struck pole, smashing the stage and
clearing the front from the hind wheels
One of the horses was caught there but
the other continued. The woman vas
hurled against the seat in front and
though she did not think she received
serious injury the shock must have been
terrible. There was good deal OF in
dignation along the street from the fact
that these same horses, it is said, have
attempted to run away on several previous
occasions, once when little child was
alone in the team. 1t certainly approaches
criminal negligence on the part of driver
knowing that his team is likely to run
away to allow persons to take seats in
the stage and then go away and leave his
horses.
Mrs. Mills, the lady in the team, lives
In Massachusetts. She said she was
sitting in the wagon and saw nothing to
frighten the horses. When they started
she said she made up her mind to hold
fast to the seat and keep quiet, although
as the horses sped up the street at such
a furious speed she several times called
for somebody to stop them. When they
run into the telegraph pole Mrs. Mills
said she thought the end of her life had
come. The sensation, she said. when
taking such ride at the risk OF her life
was something which she hopes she will
never again experience.
All who witnessed the runaway pro-
nouncc it one of the most frightful ever
seen upon Water street and that 1t was
miracle that Mrs Mill escaped being
killed. The wagon was smashed badly
in front, the harness broken in many
places and one of the horses slightly In
jured.
