OF the matter he deemed Il proper to
say that the committee had already en-
tered upon the preparation OF bill or
bills. While he was not prepared to
say, now. when those bills would be
ready, he was certain that they would
not be presented TO the house before
Thursday.
II was Important that members OF the
house who had gone home under the I'M
preston that the usual holiday recess
would be held should be present when
the report OF the ways and means COM
mittee was mnde 20 the house, and II
was proper that they should have an
opportunity to return. He would ask
the house TO meet tomorrow for the
purpose OF agreeing upon the dlstribu-
tion OF the Presidents message, after
which he would ask the house TO ad-
Journ over Christmas day.
"On Thursday" he concluded, I've
hope that the house will make q re-
sponse TO the urgent request OF the

BOSTON, Dec. 23.-The first detail
ed account OF the massacre OF Armen-
ians at Bltlls have reached this city
from n correspondent writing from
Eastern Turkey. The writer says the
outbreak began when the Turks went
to the mosque at noon. Contrary 10
custom, the Turkish store keepers
closed and locked their shops before go
ing 10 prayer. This alarmed the Ar
monians who had been already threat
ened with massacre and they began 10
close their shops also, The police In
terfeFed 10 prevent this, Some OF the
Armsnians ran away 10 escape. Then
Turk named Yuiuf fired gun and
the people rushed out OF the mosques
and began the attack upon the shops.
The massacre which followed was the
work OF officials, The troops were call

were stopped by tho bugle,

Make haste slowly. Who can tell what
a day may bring forth? Who can tell
what would result If Mr.. Carlisle were

can tell what Congress will do with the
proposition to retire all the legai-tender

How many years would be required for
the accomplishment Of this latter object?
How will a Republican House OF Repre-

Ex-Snenkcr Crlan Wrong.

Referring to ex-Speaker Crisp's decla-
ration in his recent speech before the
Georgia Legislature, that the Georgia
Democrats should demand that their rep
resentatives in the next national con-
vention should insist upon the making OF
platform by the people who elect
the president, and not by those who
live in the States that do not furnish
the electoral vote. the Chattanooga Times
says:
This virtually IL to say that the States
that voted for Harrison in 1899 ought TO
be excluded from the Democratic con-
vention OF 1896, That Is. the 116,IvJ Demo
Gratis of Massachusetts. who voted for
Cleveland In 1892. must have nobody TO
speak for them, while the $4,000 who
voted for him in Georgia would have

the $4,000 Of Pennsylvania, would be
booted out" as 1t were, while the $4,000
Of South Carolina and the 1900 OF Mis-

Travelling Auditors.
West Point Virginian.)

The next Legislature should pass law
providing for competent and efficient
travelling auditors. to visit the treasurers'
offices i'm the various counties OF the state
periodically several times a year. County
business should be conducted with as
much method and exactness as that OF a
national bank. An auditors VISIT would
mean the correction OF errors. the proper
adjustment Of public accounts. and would
cause the cash account OF the treasurer
and his actual cash balance in bank to
tally better Let the mex, Legislature
throw more and better safeguards around
the peoples interests. Loose methods in
handling public moneys has caused the
ruin of many a man who had been. before
such opportunities were open TO him, per-
fectly straightforward and honest.
