friendly Power and the massacre took
place as advertised. The rivulets were
choked up with corpses; the streams
ram red with human blood; the forest
glades and rocky caves were peopled
with the dead and the dying; among the
ruins of once prosperous villages lay
roasted infants by their mangled
mothers corpses; pits were dug at night
by the wretches destined to fill them.
ut was then that our present Embas-
sador at Constantinople took action and
displayed those remarkable gifts of en-
ergy and industry to which the Prime
Minister lately alluded with pride The
British ambassador did his best, and
at last carried the appointment of a
commission of investigation. Yet,
while the commission of inquiry was
still sitting at Moush, the deeds OF
atrocious cruelty which it was as
sembled to investigate, were outdone
under the eyes of the delegates. Threats
were openly uttered that on their with
drawaI nassacreS would be organized
all over the country-massacres it was
said, in comparison with which the
Sassoun butchery would compare but
as dust in the balance
I'm due time they began. Over 10000
Armenians have been butchered, and
the massacres are not quite ended yet.
In Trebizond, Erzinham, Hassankaleh
and numberless other places the Christ
ians were crushed like grapes during
the vintage. The French mob during
the terror were men-nay, angels OF
mercy-compared with these Turks.
"These are but isolated scenes. The
worst cannot be described And, If it
could be, no description, however vivid,
would convey a true notion of the dread
reality. At most of these manifesto
lions of bestial passion and delirium
the Sultan's troops in uniform, stood
by as delighted spectators, when they
did not actually take an active part as
jealous executionerS.
"And these are the Turks whom
unanimous Europe has judged worthy
of continuing to govern and guide the
Christians of Asia Minor. The Sultan
undertakes, if a reasonable time be
given him, to re-establish the normal
state of things in Turkish Armenia;
and we know that that normal condi-
ton implies the denial to Christians of
the 1unQdIneHldi IISulS VI DS-
ings, the abolition of womanly purity,
the disintegration of the family, the as
saulting of tender children-in a word,
a system of Government for which the
history of the world affords no parallel.
yet unanimous Europe, we are told,
entertains no doubt that the true in
terests of Christendom demand that
Turkish rule should be maintained. 1t
cannot be too clearly stated that what
is asked for is not the establishment Of
an Armenian kingdom or principality,
not a buffer state, not even Christian
autonomy in any sense that might rem
der it offensive or dangerous to any of
the powers of Europe; but only that by
some efficacious means the human be-
ings who profess the Christian religion
in Anatolia, and who protested and
practiced it there for centuries before
the Turks or Kurds were heard Of, shall
be enabled to live and die as human
beings, and that the unparalleled crimes
of which for the past seventeen years
they have been the silent victims shall
speedily and once for all be put a stop

MAYOR SWIFT OF CHICAGO.
He Roundly Scores the Prominent Citi-
zens Of the Windy City.
Corruption of the Council and in Va.
rious Other Departments Laid
at Their Door.

CHICAGO, Dec 29.-Mayor Swift
roundly scored Chicago's prominent
citizens" at banquet last night and
charged the corruption of the City
Council and various departments of
of the city's service to them.
The speech was given at the regular
monthly banquet of the Commercial
Club, in reply to that of President Ba-
ker of the Civic Federation, Chicago's
good government" society, who criti-
cised the present administration, and
mentioned the feeling existing over the
council giving franchises to cable and
electric roads and other corporations
without compensation to the city.
1.-The present Mayor, within sixty
days." said Mr. Swift, with considera-
BILE warmth, has vetoed a half-dozen
ordinances passed by your representa-
tives giving space in the streets to rep
resentative property owners, who came
to the Common Council and asked for
them. Who is 1t that comes into the
Common Council and asks for such
privileges? Who is it who are accused
of offering brides for such franchises?
1t is just the same ones, the same
prominent citizens that come into the
same council chamber and ask them to
give them the right to occupy space
under your streets.
Il tell you these questions come
home. Talk about anarchy; talk about
breathing the spirit of communism!
What does it more than the representa-
tive citizens of Chicago, your high
toned business men, your patriotic
cago are the men who knock at the
door of the council and ask for illegal
franchiseSi 1t is not the common peo-
pie. Who brides the Common Council?
Is it men in the common walks of
life? They are men in your own walks
of life, sitting by your firesides, at
your clubs.
rs it your men in the common walks
of life that demand brides and who re-
ceive brides at the hands of the legis-
lative bodies or the Common Council?
No. 1t is your representative citizen,
your capitalists, your business men.
When have they come to the front,
either individually or collectively, and
inveighed against this manner of OBJ
tanning franchises? When will they
come to the 'front.' individually or COL
lectively, and ask of the Common Coun-
ell adequate remuneration for the
city? Never, to my knowledge
"Who is responsible for the condi-
ton of affairs in the city of Chicago?
Your representative business men If
an Assessor grows rich while in office.
with whom does ne divide? He divides
with the man who tempts him to make
a low assessment not the man who has
the humble little house, but the CAPT
talist and the business man.
Il will tell you a good work for your
Civic Federation, Brother Baker, and
believe you are honest and I have found
you honest in every endeavor. Conflne
your theories and efforts in the next
three months to elect to the City Coun-
Gil six or eight representative business
men. Let them come over any Monday
night and witness the scenes / have
witnessed, and they will cease talking
about theories, and understand better
the conditions which face the citizens
and the city of Chicago"
