ONE GOOD RESuLT.

The old aphorism that it must be indeed
an i'll wind which blows nobody any good
was exemplified, even in the disa grceable
results that have already accrued from the
Venezuela dispute. British investors are
not only glad to unload American securities
at low price, but are certain TO he less
anxious TO grasp at American bonds.
Thus many securities now held abroad
may be brought home with some profit to
those who are so fortunate a to ha We none y
for the purchase, and the Trea sury authori-
ties will also be relieved of the probability
Of repeating the disgrace of barga inihg
with foreign syndicate to take the next
inevitable issue Of bonds, instead of giving
a chance to American investors.
OF course, this is exceedingly cold COM
fort, but it is worth considering amid the
wreck Of matter and crash of worlds which
is likely to follow almost any utteran6e
Of the President in the midst of passing
political contingencies. The outburst of
patriotism of the last few days has been
really spectacular. Bankers, 1t must be ad-
mitted, have not been so effusive as some
other classes, but 1t is fair to assume that
moneyed men who for severalday Us ha We been
making the eagle scream its loudest, will
fall over one another In their anxiety to
see that not another issue of Uncle Sans
bonds shall put half-penny of profit into
the vaults Of the hated Britishers. =.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS.

In the long list of House chairmen no
selection is more appropriate, and none
will be received with stronger commenda-
ton by the masses, than that OF Hon. Thomas
w Phillips, OF Pennsylvania, for head or
the Committee on Labor.
Mr.. Phillips Is possessed of great private
wealth, but in his devotion TO the cause or
the wageworker, and to better methods OF
settling wages disputes, lie is earnest and
sincere to the core.
There is no demagogy in the profession
or werk of Mr.. Phil!ips. He has made the
question with which his committee Will
deal a profound study for years Measures
introduced by him i'll the last Congress speak
for themselves.
Wageworkers and all interested i'll the
labor question may confidently expect
that the House Labor Committee OF this
Congress will be one of work and not of
wind,

AGAIN THE ARNENIANS.

Possibly the administration OF Abdul
Hamid thinks 1t is quite safe to issue
a bloody edict against twelve thousand
Armenians, now that the mind Of the
whole world is directed TO the possibility
OF war bet tween America and Great
Britain. Because the people OF the city
OF Zeitoun slaughtered few score OF
Turkish soldiers recently the sultan or
dered large body of troops to visit
wholesale massacre upon the offending
population.
II is perfectly evident from this hor-
rible decree that the Turkish government
has not 10 the least extent abandoned
wholly extermiDate the Armenians, un-
less the European powers interfere. Ev-
cry apparent concess ion has been the
merest subtcrfuge. The letting in OF ad-
ditional suardships was really of no i'm
portance except for the purpose OF giving
increased protection to foreigners and
foreign interests The action gave no adj
ditioDal guarantee of immunity to the
prosecuted ArmeDians. Slaughter of them
proceeds with greater vigor than ever be-
fore.
1t is to be hoped that the Venezuelan
war talk will not to a serious extent
diycrt the worlds attention from the
bloody policy OF the Turks, and that pend
ing the deliberate action of the Venezuelan
commission Great Britain and America will
harmonize in target practice in the do
minions of the sultan IL a change for
the better is not speedily made evident.

DR.. stephen NJ. Emmens, who is the in
ventor OF the most powerful explosive
known TO modern times, and a practical
mining engineer, has theory OF the
solution OF the labor problem which he
expounded in New York the other day.
He warns the people OF the United States
to elect ten grand councillors" to pre-
side over a national bureau of labor. which

his solution.
Lord Kelvin's presidential address at
the anniversary meeting at the British

SOUTHERN DELEGATIONS

Apparently next year is to be no ex-
cepton in the number of scandals in con-
pection with bargain and sale among South
ern Republican delegations. It was not
expected, however, that the managers of
the very virtuous Mr.. Mckinley would be SO
early on the ground, cash In hand, as seems
to be established by the conduct of mem
bers of the State committee Of Louisiana,
working under the guidance of relatives and
close friends of the Ohio candidate.
In recent publication Senator Sherman
bodily charged that money had been freely
used among Southern delegates at the time
OF the first nomination of Gen. Harrison,
though he indicated supporters Of Gen. Al
ger as the chief manipulators OF the funds.
It is assumed these business-like gentlemen
awaited the appearance of the delegates at
Chicago before beginning active operations.
It would not have been shrewd to do other
wise. The most ordinary cunning suggests
that a delegate should not be purchased
until he can be corraled in a hotel and
put under the closest supervision, as lie
who buys last buys best, and no delegate
who is in the market at all will hesitate
70 sell himself to as many bidders as come
his way.

Louisiana affair, as 1t is reported, is that
