Shocking Crimes in Turkey.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-Constantinople
advices to the United Press under yes
terday's date say that the official re-
ports of the disturbances in Caeserea
on the 30th ult., state the disorder was
due to two Armenians discharging
guns in the market place. Some per-
sons were killed, the report says, but
order was restored within three hours.
Details of the rioting at Harpoot,
show that on November 10th, the
Kurds made an attack upon the place,
but were easily repulsed. On the 11th
a party of the soldiers and leading
Turks met the Kurds in conference,
during the progress of which bugle
was sounded at which signal the sol
diers withdrew. The Kurds advanced
with yells. There was no effort on
the part of soldiers and Armenians to
resist and the Turks joined IN the kill
ing and plundering. Thr Armenian
school was bnrned and then began the
attack upon the Christians. The
buildings in which they were was also
set on fire. The Christians were with,
out weapons of any sort and trusted
entirely to the government to protect
them. The Americans remained IN
the girls seminary until that building
was set on fire, and then they appealed
to the governor for protection. They
obtained guard of soldiers, all but
two of whom afterwards deserted.
These two remained and carried out
the orders issued TO them to fight the
fires that had been kindled. The burn
ing continued for two days.
The Americans were stripped of ev,
erything but their clothing. All OF
the Christians villages around were
bhrned by the Kurds. The outrages
continued until: the government at
Constantinople ordered the troops to
take action. Fourteen kurds were
then shot, when the numbering and
pillaging ceased instantly. The dis,
trict Of Diabekir Malatia, Arabeklr,
Eyein and Patu have been made desc,
late. Thirty five villages have been
destroyed and thousands of the inhab,
itants have embraced Islamism in con-
sequence OF the pressure orOugnL 10
bear upon them.
The Turkish troops which were on
their way to Zeitum to suppress the
trouble there are concentrated at Ma
rash, where they await the return OF
the delegation sent to Zeitun to nego-
tiate with the Armenians who are IN
control there for their surrender. The
government at Constantinople ssy
they are projecting more extensive re-
lief work aud would welcome foreign
aid through joint commission. They
also state that the appointment of the
six commissioners now engaged IN Ar
menia has proved great success there,
having tendency to restore public
confidence.
Ria Pasha, the public prosecutor at
Constantinople, has been appointed
the new governor of Adana.

Judge White Of Pittshurg has sus-

whose wife was trying to have him
committed to an inebriate asylum.
After full discussion and conference,
the man admitted his frequent intoxl-

and voluntarily offered to take the
Kelley cure. With the above prom

enable him to take the cure. This

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Speaking of
the Presidents message. Senator Till
man said: L see nothing in the mes
sage that indicate craftsmanship or
regard for the general welfare OF the
people. The question that suggests
itself to my mind is, If he :re,ires the
ereenbacks, what will-be' substituted
therefor as currency: If national
bank notes are to be Issued upon the
bonds issued to retire the greenbacks,
why not save the interest that will ac-
crue upon these bonds? Both bonds
and the greenbacks are the promises
of the government to pay. The only
difference is that the bonds will draw
interest and the greenbacks not. Why
then. saddle this additional interest
upon suffering people? The poilcy
of Mr.. Cleveland is surely leading to
plutocracy instead Of Democracy.

LATITUDE FOR NATIONAL BANKS.

N&s
The currency withdrawn by the re-
tirement OF the United States notes
and treasury notes amounting to prob
ably less than 1886, 900, 900, might be
supplied by such gold. as would be
used on their retirement or by an IN
crease in the circulation of our nation
al banks. Though the aggregate cap
ital of those now in existence amounts
to more than 1864, 4,00Q,0 600, their out
standing circulation, based on bond
security, amounts to only about S19,-
600, They are authorized to issue
notes amounting to 20 per cent. of the
bonds deposited to secure their circula-
ton, but in no event beyond the
amount of their capital stock,and they
are obliged to pay l per cent. tax on
the Circulation they issue. think
they should be allowed to issue circu-
lation equal to the par value of the
bonds they deposit to secure it. and
that the tax on their circulation
should be reduced to I of /
per cent, which would undoubt-
edly meet the expense the gov
eminent incurs on their account
In addition they should be allowed to
substitute or deposit in lieu of bonds
now required as security for their cir
culation, those which would be issued
for the purpose of retiring the United
States notes and treasury notes. The
banks alread existing, if they desired to
avail themselves Of the provisions Of
law thus modified, could issue circula
ton in addition to that already out
standing, amountingto s47S, 100000
which would nearly or quite equal the
currency proposed to be cancelled.
Atany rate l should confidently ex-
pect to see the existing national banks
or others to be organized, avail them
selves of theproposed encouragements
to issue circulation and promptly I'LL

rency need. It has always seemed to
me that the provisions OF law regard

AN OVERLOOKING TREASURY ABUSED
twill. however, be readily seen that
the government could not refuse to
paw out United States notes and treas
ury notes in current transactions when
demanded andinsist oD paying out sill
yer alone and still maintain the parity
between that metal and the currency
repres ,nting gold. Besides the accu-
mutation in the treasury Of currency
of any kind eXacted from the people
throuhg taxation is justly regarded as
an evil and ii can not proceed tar
without vigorous protests against and
uniustifable retension Of money from
the business of the country and as de-
nunciation of scheme Of taxation
which proves itself to be unjust when
it takes from the earnings and income
of the citizens money so much IN eX-
cess of the needs Of government sim,
ply that large sums can be gathered
and kept IN the treasury. Such con-
dition has heretofore in times OF sur
plus revenue led the government to
restore currency to the people by the
purchase of its unmatured bonds at a
large premium and by a large increase
of its deposits in national banks and
we easily remember that the abuse OF
treasury accumulation has finished a
most persuasive argument IN favor OF
legislation radically reducing ourtarltf
taxation.

tv between the metals and consequent
" between the coins oppose an un-
supportable and improbable theory to
the general belief and practice OF 9th
er nations. and to the teachings OF the
wisest statesmen and economists OF the
world, both in the past and future,
and what is far more conclusive, they
run counter to our own actual eXpe-
riences. Twice in our early history
our lawmakers, in attempting to es-
tablish a bimetallic currency, under.
took free coinage on ratio which accl-
dentally varied from the actual reIa-
tive values of the two metals not more
than three per cent. In both cases,
notwithstanding greater difficulties
and cost of transportation than now
exist, the coins, whose intrinsic worth
was undervalued in the ratio, gradu-
ally and surely disappeared from our
circulation and went to other countries
where their real value.was better re-
cognized. Acts of congress were I'M
potent to create equality where natu-
raj causes decreld even slight lne-
quality. Twice in our recent history
we have signally failed to raise by
legislation the value of silver. Under
an act of congress passed IN 1873 the
government was required for more
than twelve years to expend annually
at least S24, 00O,0 in the purchase OF
silver bullion for coinage. The act OF
July II. 1890, in still bolder effort to
increase the,amount of silver the gov
ernment was compelled to purchase
and forced it to become the buyer an
nually of 81 900, 900 ounces, or practl-
cally the entire production of our
mines. Under both laws silver rapid

THE CHASM TO BE BRlDGED.
Tie prophecy and the expressed
hope and expectation of those IN the
congress who led II the passage OF the
last mentioned act that it would re-
establish and maintain the former
parity between the two metals are
still fresh in our memory. That OF
these experiences. which accord with
the experiences Of the other nations
there is certainly no secure ground
for the belief that an act Of congres
could now bridge an inequality of fif-
tv per cent between gold and silver at
our present ratio, nor is there the least
possibility that our country, which
hasiess than one-seveuth OF the silver
money in the world could by
its action alone raise not only
