Place the Blame Where il Belongs.

Armenian estimates of the number of
victims and the property loss through
Turkish flendishness is 10000 human
beings slain and $50, 000 900 worth of pro-
pcrty destroyed. This is likely to be
somewhat exaggerated but is near
enough to the exact truth to make any
one with humane sensiblities feel like
saying amen to the following telegram
sent to the President by Senator Hoar:
"You may depend upon my support in
the Senate, both by speech and vote of
the most vigorous action you may take to
prevent further cruclties toward the
Armeniaps in Turkey, even if you deter
mine to treat the persons who commit
I hem rs pirates or common enemies of the
human race
Probably Senator Hoar does not expect
this country to go to war with Turkey be-
cause her troops have been killing her
subjects. Such action would not be wise,
although the proSocation causes the blood
to boil in righteous Indignation. But if
any of the slaughtered Armenians are
found To have been citizens of this
country, if single member of the noble
bands of American missionaries be killed,
it devolvcs upon this country to exact
reparation, if need be by war But this
is not all that should he done
The brutal sel6shness exhibited by the
European powers, that bave it in their
power to end this awful carnage; that had
it in their power to prevent much of it,
that today are virtually bargaining the
lives of "A Christian people in return for
tritling diplomatic advantage. should be
rebuked by the United States as a people.
The stigma should be fastened upon those
who deserve it in such manner as to
attract the attention OF the whole world.
and shame them into some definite action.
Let us not oonfine our indignant pro.
tests to the half civilized, ignorant.

Without a Leg 10 Stand On.

The value of Japan's exports to the
United States in 1898 was 81, 739, 45S yen
IA yen has the nominal value Of four
shillings-whic the value of her imports
from this country was only 6,090, 4OS yen.
In those same years the value OF Japan 5
exports to Great Britain was but 4, $685.,
975 yen while she purchased from Great
Britain goods to the value Of 27, 929, CPS
yen. Generally stated, Japan sells in the
United States and buys in Great Britain.
And right here we find a complete refuta-
tion of the theory, without which free
trade has not leg to stand upon, the
theory that il we increase our purchase
OF IA foreign people we also and in the
same or nearly the same ratio would
incr ease our sales to that people; that the
| that people will take back to that country
our products in exchange. When it is
considered that our imports from Japan
are largely in the nature of luxuries and
that her purchases of us are so small, it is
evident that the protection of American
labor against deadly competition with
Asiatic labor would be practically an
unmixed blessing We're it So high rs to be
actually prohibitive. If our people wish
to derive whatever advantages there
may be In the rare initiative skill of the
japanese they are willing to pay enough
therefor to enable the artisan to live as
civilized being. useful member of
society. As the japanese are quick to
adopt progressive ideas and appear to be
able to readily assimiate with those
among whom they live there seems to be
room enough In this country for all the
Japanese artisans needed to supply our
demands for their work. Be that as it
may, 1t is beyond question that the worse
than pauper paid labor of the Orient
unrestrained competition with the labor
of this country. 1t is noticeable that the
free trade theorists have not cared to
touch upon this impending competition.
The facts are such that they will be COM
pclled to establish altogether new theories
before they can make any successful
attempt at bewildering the good sense of
the people; indeed the facts are incontro-
vertible by any theories they may put
forth.

Thanksgiving Day.

A year ago the people of this State had
abundant cause for Thanksgiving in the
material benefits they enjoyed. while un-
| fortunately this could not be said with
equal application in some of the other
states OF the country, keenly suffering
| from the effects Of hard times. This
year Maine people may the better enjoy
their Thanksgiving dinner in the knowl-
edge, that throughout the world there are
more causes for rejoicing than twelve
months back, and that meanwhile our
good State has suffered no relapse from
its healthy condition Of business and the
generous response OF its fertility and other
| resources. Indeed it may be said of our
crop bounty,
7 "rbere was no winter int; an autumn twas
That srew the more by reaping
! The life fed by the bounty of earth
and swcstened by the airs Of heaven has
been especially blessed in the seasons OF

bountiful to be very profitable, yet actual
want has no safe abiding place from
Kittery to Quoddy or from Matinicus TO
the river St. Francis, except 1t be among
some of the fishing people along the coast'
who relied altogether upon the fruits oil

There doubtless are conditions to be
improved upon in the future; were there

But that person Is an exception, who may
not find in the fruits of the past year
ample cause for the peace, contentment
and gratitude inseparable from proper
observance of the day set apart according
to time honorcd custom, as Thanksgiving

The constant goodness and forbearance OF

the American people during the year which is
Just past, call for their sincere acknowlcdg-

To the end, therefore. that we may with

by appoint and set apart Thursday, the
twenty eighth day OF the present mouth OF
November, as day of thanksgiving and
prayer, to be kept and observed by all our
people.
on that day let us forego our usual occupa
tions and in our accustomed places Of wor-
ship join in rendering thanks to the Giver of
every good and perfect gift for the bounteous
returns that have rewarded our labors in the
peace and order that have prevailed through
out the land. for our protection from pesti-
lence and dire calamity and for the other
blessings that have been showered upon us
from an open hand. And with our thanks
givings let us humbly beseech the Lord to so
incline the hearts of our people unto Him
that He will not leave us nor forsake us as a
nation, but will continue to us His mercy
and protecting care, guiding us in the path
of national prosperity and happiness, end ung
us with rectitude and virtue and keeping a i've
within us q patriotic love for the free institu-
tons which have been given to us as our na-
tional heritage.
And let us also, on the day of our thanks
giving, especially remember the poor and
needy. and by deeds of charity let us show the
sincerity of our gratitude. In witness whereof
! have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal OF the United States to be affixed.

The love of sport appears to be Inherent
with the good people of Bangor. In fact it
appears to be as characteristic as the gen
erolls hospitality for which the denizens
Of the Queen City are justly Il noted. A
man who does business on Pickering
Square recently caught IS large rats in a
single night. A neighbor of his owned IL
rat terrier. Happy combination, No
wonder the artisan forsook his bench and
the clerk laid aside his yard stick to wit
ness the exciting spectacle! One by one
the rodents We're turned loose into the
square amid the exultant shouts Of the
assembled populace. One by one the agile
terrier chased them down and chewed
their heads off. OF all that list of victims
only one escaped to tell the sanguinary
tale. When it was all done, and II
mangled carcasses lay sweltcring meath
the monday sum- the crowd melted
away, and business resumed its wonted
