COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Call Terrell Home.


Pittsburg Commercial-G Gazette: THE at
titude of Minister Terrell at Constanti-
nople In the matter of the Turkish out
RACES committed upon Armenian Chris
tians is disgraceful to the nation he he SO
shamefully misrepresents. He mas re-
tive SO much attention from u" TURKISH
autocrat that his giddy head seems 70
have been turned, and his inclination ana
instinct prompt him to bolster up the
Turkish authorities in their atrocities,
characterize the suffering and oppressed
Armenians as fanatics, and thereby In
suit the humane and enlightened senti-
ment of christendom. OF all the foreign
representatives at the sublime porte.
he is the only one who has not had the
moral courage to voice the sentiment OF
the nation which he assumes to repre-
sent. To his mind tire sultan can do no
wrong, and the whole civilized world
should accept the finding of Turkish
commission whose chief business Is to
conceal the truth and justify the most
fragrant outrages upon a helpless people.
1t Is one Of the mysteries which only MT.
Cleveland can explain why he should have
selected Mr.. Terrell Of Texas to represent
the United States either ct Constanti-
nople or any other court. He has shown
himself wholly unified for diplomatic ser
vice of any kind. What Terrell ever did
to merit the distinction which Mr.. Cleve-
land has conferred upon him cannot
readily be recalled by his fellow-cit itizens,
unless 1t should have been the production
OF some doggere verses glorifying j..
Wilkes Booth, the assassin Of President
Lincoln AS minister to Turkey he Is
clearly msflt and cannot be called home
a day too soon."

For q Late Convention.

A New Haven dispatch quotes Samuel
c. FeSser6en as authority for the state
mont that the Republican national
committee is likely to call '.he national
convention together next May. We
trust that Mr.. Fecaerden has been MS
qucsed or else Is ili-.nformed.
The NEXT EaMcc:il cclverticn CT the
Republican party should be held in
SEPTEMBER. and the ensuing campaign
should te KEEP. well wl;h.I two mcntHs'
time. This might ret please the pract'-
cal politicians, whose employment 1t
would restrict: but It would be very
welcome innovation so far as tic
masses of THE people are concerned. and
would result In an almost incalcula BILE
economy 30 business.
It viii! not take the voters of this re-
public two months to reach the conclu-
sion that Democratic dmlnlst-a ton Is
unsatisfactory, and that prosperity Is
assured only w,hen the conduct of the
government is in honest Republican
hands.

Tho Personal Liberty Plea.

Cleveland World: 1.-THE protest from
American citizens Of foreign birth or de-
rivation against the invasion OF their
personal liberty has It's humorous side.
They plead in their behalf that IN their
European countries they enjoyed greater
freedom than Is accorded them here, and
that they scarcely knew what tyranny and
oppression meant until they ran UP sainst
the Sunday closing law or some other re-
striction on the sale Of liquor. Thi! Is
humorous. for the reason that they left
their respective countries mainly because
they were stung and smitten on every
side by scores Of petty enactments and
oppregeions that med' life a burden from
which they were glad to escape. Scarcely
a country in Europe fails to hedge about
it's subjects daily lives with thorny regu-
latjons which keep them ever nervous and
vlglant lest the law and its minions
thrust. wound and lacerate them al some
incautious step

The bursting of the Lackawanna Iron

cleyeiandism and the Farmer.

The last number Of the American
Economist presented grouping of
statistics which bears luminously upon
the question, What has Clevelandism
done for the American farmer? 1t will
be remembered that the burden Of the
tariff reform" agitation Of 1890 and
1892 was the Democratic party's earnest
solicitude for the welfare of the down.
trodden, tariff-robbed farmer. We pre-
sented several days ago suggestive
of what these free trade
philanthropists have done for the
American wool-grower They have
simply driven him out Of business. And
now the Economist let's US into the
secret Of what Clevelandism, as exem-
plified in the "perfidy and dishonor"
tariff, has done for the american
wheat-grower. 1t says:

of July, August, 1894 and 1895. were as fol-

Choose Fit Servants.

One of the promised benefits of the
recent factional disturbance in the Re
publican party in this state Is that Vt
will be the means of bringing to the
front in the near future better aver
age grade of state legislators. The
mere fact that the masses of the party
have recently received stirring up
would of itself insure an Improvement
IN the personnel of the next state house
of representatives, because whenever
the people are aroused they invariably
proceed to correct evils and strengthen
weaknesses to which, in calmer mo-
ments, they are more or less Indifferent.
But there are also special reasons
why within the next few months the
question of choosing a better average
of representation at Harrisburg will be
pressed home to the people. One OF
these reasons Is the likelihood that
there will be waged in the next legisla-
ture a notable battle for the correction
of long-standing Legislative abuses, and
particularly for the enactment of laws
undermining and strengthening present
forms and methods of municipal gov
ernment 1t does not matter in this
connection, what the motives were
which in the convention Of last August
suddenly pledged the party to sweep
ing reform programme; the salient fact
in the situation Is that the innova-
icn, ;,
eide with the trend Of popular senti-
ment, and will be carried into more or
less effect by the irresistible momentum
of that sentiment, which Is every day
acceIerating in favor Of cleaner meth
ods and loftier standards in the public
service. Nor will the people, we fancy.
care to entrust the formulation OF these
new and important measures to the in
different legislative workmanship which
turned the last Harrisburg session into
something like broad travesty on in
tenligent craftsmanship.
Another reason calling for unusual
care in the selection of the next legis-
1ature will be the fact that 1t will be
called upon to face the problem of re-
electing or defeating Mr.. Cameron. If
the masses of the party insist in time
upon the nomination Of trustworthy
legislative candidates pledged to reflect
the preponderating sentiment of their
constituents, and not likely to surren-
der to the devious artiflces of expert
manipulators or the substantial over
lures Of retained corruptionists, Mr..
Cameron will be defeated, and a Re-
publican will be placed in his stead who
will be big enough, brainy enough and
loyal enough fitly to represent the Sec
ond American state in the United
States senate. II not, Mr. Cameron will
go back, and the old farce, with all its
concomitant shame and humiliation,
will be re-enacted boldly in the face of
public indignation and protest.
There is unprecedented provocation
for the exhibition of courage and judg-
ment In the making Of nominations for
the next legislature, and we are not
yet prepared to believe Of the intelli-
gent Republicanism Of Pennsylvania
that 1t will this time fail in its hour of
conspicuous duty.

Senator Murphy and Assassin Shea.

1t is in measure credita BILE to Sena-
tor Murphy that he is, according to
all reports, doing his best to stand by
his red-handed Trojan colleague. Bat
Shea. No doubt Murphy regrets that
Shea, in his capacity of professional
ballot box stuffer and electon-day
thug. was 50 indiscreet as actually to
kill u man for wanting to vote a Re
publican ticket. No doubt he has many
times regretted that Shea did not stop
on the safe side of the line which dl-
yides fraud, intimidation and head
splitting from manslaughter. and there
by remain not too oconspicuously among
the ranks from which Murphy's official
lieutenants are drafted
That this is as far as his regret has
ever gone Is made probable suppose
ton by reason of his conduct in declin-
ing to attend any of the public meet
ings where the overwhelming majority
of the citizens of Troy by resolution de-
plored Robert Ross assassination, and
by neglecting in all other ways to en-
hibit sympathy with Ross bereaved
relatives and friends, or with their ef-
forts to do away with murder and thug
ism at the Troy polls. But while this
indifference to gross crime and this
lack of interest in it's punishment look
black in a member of the United States
senate. who ought, if anybody ought, to
be in sympathy with decency with JUS
tice and with all that makes for
pure citizenship, it cannot be denied
that the dogged loyalty which Murphy,
as the boss" is said to show in behalf
of one of his minions who has been
"pinched" appeals to a certain low
phase of popular admiration. Shea
was Murphy's tool. He got into trou-
BILE while doing Murphy's dirty work.
True. he overshot his instructions. but
he still was lone Of the gang" and "the
gang" must be protected or else 1t
will go out OF existence, leaving the

To be sure, this loyalty to hirellngs
in trouble is snine-tenths selfish, when you
thoroughly analyze it. 1t is of piece
with that honor which is proverbial
among thieves, who trust each other be-
cause they know that II they don't, the
consequences may be mutually un-
pleasant. But 1t suffices to command
degree of appreciation; and therefore
we repeat that the spectacle Of Brewer
Murphy of Troy. with spark Of graft
tude, furnishing funds and influence for
the defense Of Bat Shea, the implicated
mercenary and hired thug who is un-
der sentence of death for having over
done the boss bidding, is. If genuine,
much the decentest attitude in which
this sorry apology for a United States
senator has recently appeared.

Urged to Recommend 1t.
The senate judiciary committee
heard arguments upon revision of the
laws at last nights meeting. There
were two bills under considera tion
One the Littleton bill, which has passed
the house, and the other, Senator o.

terest OF the West Publishing company.
The first mentioned provides for doing
the work by commission of attor-
neys. The other is to be by a COM
missioner, under the supervision of the
West Publishing company.
e. ID. Smith, speaking for the Little
ton bill, said that it originated from a
par meeting held in MINNEAPOLIS. Aft
erWards a conference was held with
members of the bar in st. Paul. Law

OFFER A SlXTY-CENT RATE.
Operators Make Concessions That
Strikers Will Not Accent.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 26.-The
Railroad Coal Operators association
met today and offered to enter into
an agreement with the miners to pay
90 cents per ton for one year. from
April l. A committee was appointed
to confer with the miners organiza-
ton and present the compromise offer
The operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict want. to do away with the nine
cents differentiaI in the rate for min
ing allowed to Ohio operators. They
claim that the offer made to the strikers
does not indicate weakening on their
part, and say that they will not pay
So cents, as demanded by the striking
miners.
1t is not probable that the miners
will accept the 60-cent rate, for should
they desire to do so, the national Off
Gals would not permit 1t, as that would
involve another cut in wages
of the Ohio miners, who work for nine
cents less than the Pittsburg district
miners.
The operators are ready to start their
mines on April l, and there are rumors
that. they intend to import men to take
the strikers places if the 60-cent rate Is
| not accepted. - '>f;'v
