FROM BAD TO WORSE.

There has been no Improvement in
problem seems to be insoluble. Ger
many holds back from any plan that
involves the disruption of the Otto
man Empire. England hesitates to
take the initiative, not only for finan-
cial and political reasons-she holds
millions in Turkish bonds, and, fur
Their, coercion on her part of the Sui
tan, who is also the Caliph, would
arouse "holy war; and put her Mo-
hammedan subjects in India in revolt
but also because any overt act on
her part would be promptly resented
by Russia. The reliance on concert
of the Powers proves to be unbound
ed. Even for humanity's sake they
can not and will not agree. Their Jeal-
ousies and selfish interests are clearly
understood by the Sultan, who prac-
tically does as he pleases. His plan
for settling the Armenian question is
to exterminate the Armenians, and
he has them in his power. Even
should the European nations inter-
pose and decide to occupy Eastern
Turkey to protect these imperiled
Christians, they could not reach the
scene before every Armenian had
been put to the sword. During the
past week the entire Armenian popu-
lation at Bairburt and Kurahissar has
been massacred, if reports be true.
This awful crime-the darkest blot on
the civilization of the century-will
evidently go on unless Providence In
terposes in some mysterious way.

THE AGE OF RETIREMENT.

A vote of thanks might properly be
given to treasury committee in Eng
land for valuable services in settling
a delicate question which has occupi-
pied the attention of this country. The
committee, composed Of Lord Play
fair, Lord Welby, and Sir NJ. w. Rid
ley, was appointed by the lord COM
missioners of her majesty's treasury
to consider the question of the desir-
ability of fixed age for the compul-
DRY retire ment Of professors serving
under the crown. Their report is
we'll considered and temperate docu-
ment.
The sum of it is a recommendation
that there should be fixed rules Of su
peraunuation of college professors
and presidents; that when a professor
reaches the age of sixty five, the
president should be required to re-
port on his efficiency; at the age of
seventy his retirement should be alb
solute. A college president should
be retired at seventy, but as seventy
five his retirement should be abso-
lutte.
The names of the committee lend
authority to the conclusions OF their
report. They are of interest to us in
this country. Our system of army
and navy retirement has been much
criticized. Here, as in England, we
are trying to free the difficulties OF
the superannuatlon question, not only
with college professors and judicial
officers, but with many other valuable
and valued classes Of officials, both in
public and private charges.
While we wish to show every con-
sideration to men who have grown
old in honorable services, we must at
the same time recognize the principle
that the question of efficiency is the
vital one, to which all merely per-
sonal interests must give way. The
college is more than the professor;
the army is more than the general.
No one has a right to hold any pnbllc
position to the detriment of the gen
eral service of which he forms part.
The English report cannot be &C
cused of undue harshness in dealing
with this delicate question. On the
contrary, it is too leuient. There are
two considerations which render it
undesirable that the conduct of pub
lie trusts should be left in the hands
of men much over sixty. One is that
these men have generally outgrown
that condition of receptivity and in
| itiative under which alone the most
valuable results are to be expected:
the other is that in every field of hu-
man activity men who are not only
younger and stronger, but who are
also more modern, stand ready and
waiting to fill these positions. They
too, are entitled to consideration

NO LICENSE IN CAMBRIDGE.

We commend the following, clipped
from the Boston Journal to the care
full attention of the high license con-
spirators of this State and suggest
that those noisy papers which are ad-
vocating nigh license publish it for
the benefit of their readers.
Cambridge, Mass, is the banner
CITY of the no-license cause in the
United States. No other city OF oO,OOO
inhabitants has fore successive years
kept the saloons out and gained the
advantages which come from their
absence.
On next Tuesday the no-license
forces will attempt to gain their tenth
successive triumph and end the If
tieth year since the Incorporation of
the city with another victory for
clean streets and clean homes. The
friends of license in Cambridge have
not single argument with which to
seek votes, except the desire for
liquors. Nolicense has brought
hundreds of dollars into the treasury
of the city, it has Increased the valua-
ton of property to a wonderful ex-
tent, it has drawn thousands to the
city because they know their children
can be educated without the sight of
a saloon, the deposits in savings
banks have increased almost mar
yelously. the arrests for drunkenness
and crime have fallen off in proper
ton, more than one third Of the
drunkards arrested are not residents
of Cambridge; in short, the no license
cause has been proved so beneficial
that even those who have in other
cities argued that such laws cannot
be enforced, in Cambridge change
their minds and their votes as WELL
No-icense laws may not be enforc-
ed in some cities, shifting policy
from saloon to no saloon may not
give either a fair trial, but contin-
uous policy of no-license in Cam
bridge has worked wonders in that
municipality, and Boston should be
very sorry to see one of its dormitory
neighbors vote on next Tuesday to
put an end to it's steady progress by
opening 80 saloons within it's now
prosperous limits.

According to the estimate of the
secretary of the treasury the defici
ency in the post office department
this year will be 5000, 779. 1t is we'll
known that the deficiency comes very
largely from carrying free matter for
the government and from the abuse
of the privileges accorded to second
class matter. The rates in this class
were intended to benefit bonafide
newspapers and periodicals and their
readers, but they are largely nsed to
exploit and benefit many publications
many advertising schemes that pass
as periodicals. There are ten states
in the Union that show a surplus of
postal earnings, and Vermont is one
of them. New York leads in these
surplus earnings with the handsome
figures of So, 797, 602.68. Massachusetts
comes second with a profit to the
government Of $1,517, 544.59. Ohio
leads the Improbable states with
deficit approaching $3,00O,OOO, while
N
deficits of over 81 100000 each.
The esteemed Rutland Herald and
the Burlington Independent devoted
large amount Of space last week to
the affairs of this village and to the
editor of the MONITOR. The readers
of those papers must be getting pretty
we'll acquainted with US up this way.
Bros. Perkins and Dodge are framing
some very elaborate editorials, which,
in the nature of the case, must be Of
intense interest to their readers. Their
statements would be more important
if they were not based almost entirely
on what is false. If they knew how
ridiculous their assertions really are,
in the light of truth they would be
ashamed of themselves. 1t would be
better for them to know less of what
is not SO.

HE ESCAPED THE GHOSTS.
Lamont Heard Much of Coming
Good Times in the West.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Secretary
Lamont said today that he did not talk
politics and did not see any politicians
during his Western tour. 81 was not
hunting ghosts" said he, though I
am told come were about. My trip was
purely a business one, and had
neither inclination nor opportunity to
meddle in politics. About the only peo-
pie l saw were the military and rail-
road people"
You observed the condition of the
country through which you passed?"
Yes; enough to see that it appeared
prosperous and promising. The rail-
road men whom l met told me that
the outlook was very favorable for
great prosperity. They are about the
only ones I had an opportunity to talk
with on the subject, and I presume
that they are about the best judges.
l could see that the country was as
green as our Eastern lands, and the
railroad people told me the crops were
in an unusually good condition, and
gave promise of the best results that
they have had in that country for some
time. 1t was said that the whole coun-
try was experiencing a renewal of
prosperity and that the people were
contented and satisfied with the out
look. All the crops are In the best
possible conditions and the reports
from the various sections of the coun-
try indicate great product for the
year. The railroads are all preparing
for an immense amount of business.
The president of one of the roads told
me that they were getting ready to
haul 600 bushels of wheat on his
road. All this, they said, indicated
general prosperity and contentment
among the Western people"

TORY GAINS GROW.
UnfOnists Win Thirty Seats From
Their Opponents.

LONDON, July 17.-Sir William Ver-
non Harcourt, speaking at Abercairne
today, said that he accepted the honor
of cortesting West Monmouth in the
cause of temperance. He added that
he was firm Liberal, and would stick
to the Grand Old Man even if every
one else deserted him. In the South
west division Of London, where Cur
zon and Naylor-Leyland were the can
didates, the participation of bicyclists
in the contest today was a novel feat
ure. They had their party colorS
streaming from their handle bars and
the CurZon riders formed an escort for
Mr.. and Mrs. CurZon, while the Naylor-
Leyland wheelmen formed themselves
into a bodyguard for the purpose of
cheering on their candidates. The Rad
icals made the most of Sir Herbert
Naylor-Leylands s belated denial that he
purchased his baronetcy. While
body of about 10 Liberal bicycle riders
were escorting Sir Herbert and Lady
Naylor-Leyland several drunken Con-
servatives, wheeling a barrow painted
with CurZon colors, dashed among
them and sent many of the riders
sprawling right and left. A lively
scrimmage followed.
The Times gives prominence to let
ter signed by st. Clair McKelway, edf-
tor of the Brooklyn Eagle, in which he
says he regards the elections in Great
Britain as check to the socialistic ten
dency, and thereby of value to every
division of the Englishspeaking world.
Mr.. McKelway says: "As an Ameri-
can newspaper man and politician, per-
nit me to say that 1 think the gain in
the homogeneity of both parties will be
great. Your majority will be response
BILE, Ineligible and indictable, if need
be. AS perhaps the most practical

ity and the opposition as fail, will
get eminently useful results out of the
new parliament"
