MOTIVE FOR THE MAssAOREs
TO Keep Down Christian Privileges
by Reducing the Population.

>
LONDON, Nov. 80, 1S95.-Ne1tner the
assent of the Sultan to each of the
powers having a second guardship at
Constantinople, nor the PRONUNCIATION of
paper reforms will quiet the rising pub
lie wrath over the progress of his policy
of determination directed against the
Christians of Asia Minor. The clamor for
strong and decisive dealing with the
Sultan comes from Conservatives and
Liberals alike. The popular conviction
grows that Abdul Hamid is jockeying
with the powers, and that the Palace
clique to whom his obstinacies and du-
plfcity are attributed, agree with. but
do not rule him.
The Speakers" Constantfnople CORE
spondent, who first directed attention to
the Armenian outrages, has since become
a recognized authority on the subject
He declares that he has ample evidence
that the Sultan is personally responsible
for the whole series of massacres. He
explains that the late outrages COM
menced as soon as the Sultan accepted
the reforms applying to six vilayets, Civ
ing Christians rights that depended on
their numbers
The massacres have been chiefly con-
fined to these Filayets, the object being
to SO reduce the number of Christians
as to give them no claim to any influ-
ence. The work of determination pro-
eeeds as Systematically as it is possible
for the Turkish authorities to carry it
on. Both the Kurds and the troops are
acting under the orders of the authori-
ties in their work of pillage, rapine and
murder. The correspondent estimates
that ten thousand persons were mas
sacred between November IS and 25, while
the Sultan was posing before Europe as
being desirous of effecting reforms, and
as being benevolently inclined towards
the Ar1nenians.
Commenting upon the matter furnished
by its correspondent, the Speaker says
that among the brutal murderers who
are engaged in wping out the Arrnenians
there is not one who is so brutal and
criminal as this wretch, Abdul Hamid,
whose very existence is a reproach to
humanity. Can the civilized world, the
paper asks, look on with no stronger
feeling than tepid disapproval while the
lection of Great Britain, consumate a
crime that is almost without parallels?

HIS FIRST STEP DOWNWARD

I once talked with man who had
served a term in prison for embezzle-
ment; he said that the first step in his
downfall was the stamp drawer. The
clerks in that store, as in many, if not
in most stores helped themselves to stamps
from this drawer for their private letters
more natural than that they should take
a few more stamps if they We're order
ing some trif1e by mail? Having made
this start and seeing no trouble there
from, how easy 1t was to take a larger
amount when a more expensive article
was wanted The step from the dollars
worth Of stamps to tfs dollar itself was
not a very long one, and then to larger
amounts followed at length by discovery
and prison. This was the mans story,
and It set me to think king Hardware.

JABEz BALF0UR's REMORsE.
1t Took the Form of a Dinner of
Rrast Beef and Bass Ale.


LONDON, Nov 80, 1S95.-The Judge, in
sentencing Jabez Spencer Balfour. on
Thursday last. for wrecking the LIBERIA
tor Building Society and allied concerns,
pictured the convicted man as tortured
with remorse in prison over the ruin
wrought by him in thousands OF homes
and with the wallis of the widows and
orphans he had reduced to penury
sounding in his ears. Balfour listened
stolidly to the arraignment. The first
feeling he gave utterance to after being
sentenced to fourteen years imprison-
ment, was a desire for solid food. He
ordered cold roast beef. pickles and a
large bottle of Bass's ale. The latter he
disposed of in one long draught. The
trial revealed that Balfour had long
been prepared for smash. AS far
back as 1887 he wrote to his aceomplice,
Brock. to be ready for the crash that
was sure to come some day.
