When Lord Salisbury warlrd
the Sultan of Turkey that it would
lmperil the continued existence o:
the Ottoman Empire to disregard
the demands of the powers for re
forms in Armenia, he had already
made arrangements to carry out
Great Britaln's share in any action
that the powers of Europe might
decide upon. The recent massl-
cres in Conseantinople have only
served to accentuate the necessi y
OF o speedy acquiescence in the de-
<mands of the powers on the part OF

the fact that the British Mediter'
ranean fleet has taken up position

The sharp advance in the Lrice
Of silver is something thet the gold
bugs will regard with pain. The
logical conclusion OF their argu-
ments would seem to be that an
increase in the demand of silver
would cause it to depreciat1 still
further; yet here we have another
confirmation Of the well-known
principle of political economy. The
free coinage of silver would, of
course, crsate demand for the
white metal, and its commercial
value would immediately raise its
coinage value; but this is truth
the goldbugs will not recognize,
and even practical illustrations
like that now being furnished By
the silver bullion market will not
affect them.-Prospector.

RAILWAY Receivershi ps.

zgtst e..st -
The Railway Age recently had a
valuable article or che railroad re-
ceiversbipS ard foreclosnrasof 1895
1t points out the very great i'm :
provement in the financial condi =
tion of American railways, a. shown
ty the decrease in the number Of
defaults and bankruptcies.n In the
thre months ended October !, only
four reads went into lreceiverships.
And the total for the nine months
from Jan. l, up to October l is but
sixteen roads, with 1906 miles OF
trackage, and q total of Sl73,O6l,-
900 of bonds and stock
This showing isonly half as large
as that for the corresponding period
of 1894; and the favorable contrast
is still more marked when this years
figures are compared with these OF
1898. The indications are Nhat
the last quarter Of this year will
add but little to the list of receiv4'
erships, and that the year 1895 will
make q better showing in this re-
spect than any since 1887.
Foreclosure sales of railways are
the results Of insolvencies years be-
fore; and, as was to be expected the
sales so far this year make a long
list-36 roads, with 4,058 miles Of
track and bonds and stodks arnoun-
ting to $lOs,764,0oo. So far no
very large road has been sold this
year, but several great foreclosures
are expected, notably Of the Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Santa
Fe and Erie. If sold, this will
swell the total foreclosure record
far beyond that of any previous
year with respect to mileage and
capitalization.
Unless the trade revival receives

things there appears nothing to

country will have a more prosper

Our Foreign Policy.

American foreign policy, from
which the following is an excerpt :
frhe United States as greaa
power is coming into foreign poll
tics, and is coming to stay. The
proceeds of evolution of American
foreign policy has been gradual,
hut unmistakable, and in the last
few weeks we have had. indications
Of the existence of aspirations
which may ut any moment lead TO
the active participation Of America
ina foreign war. Her interven-
ton in the Venezuelan dispute is
not warranted sby any treaty or
precedent in international law, and
can only be defended on the ground
chat Che Monroe doctrine hence
forth will lie acted upon rs govern
ing all the foreign policy Of the
United States. And what is more
serious, is that it is not the Monroe
doctrine pure and simple, but that
doctrine with developments
"Her action means that the
weaker states of America can count
upon the assistance of the United
States in frontier disputes with
any European colony. The present
action undoubtedly does not go any
further than the friendly sugges-
Itions that we refer the llduestioa to
arbitration; but, it is backed and
supported by claims which logically
point to declaration that inter
ference with the frontier claimed
by Venezuela will, be regarded in
Washington as declaration OF
war against the United States.
This is a sefions affront, and it is
to be feared that it is not quite ap-
preciated at its proper yalus in
Downing streets"
The article sums up the situa-
ton by saying that: Europe must
understand that the people of the
United States are decided. first of
all, to prohibit, if necessary, with
the bayonet and riff, any exten-
sion of European domination !;
secondly, that popular sentiment in
the United States enthusiastically
favors every ihsurrectionary move
,ment which aims at the removal OF
European Gag from American
soil. This will entail force, ex-
.penditures, and complications. But
these facts are not clearly seen yet
by the American citizen. who
tblunders blindfold but head long
along what used to be called the
path of manifest destiny" (
