Armenia is in her last gasp. The
work of determination continues. The
massacred people number 100000. half
million survivors have taken refuge in
forests and mountains where they are
feeding upon herbs and roots. Hunger
and cold have begun to ravage greatly.
In the name of humanity and Christani-
ty save u.s." This is the wording of a
touching appeal for aid that has been
sent out from Armenia and signed by
number of prominent natives Of that un-
fortunate land. The massacres continue
unabated, yet the great Powers of Eu-
rope, in spite of their recent bluster, re-
fuse to interfere The Sultan granted
their demand for additional guardships
before ConstantinOple, but in securing
this action, in reality of little conse-
quence, the Powers now remain inactive,
and probably will continue to do so
leaving the Turks to finish their work
until they become exhausted or shall
lack for victims. Germany is the chief
offender in this policy of non-interfer
ence, on the ground that any quarrel of
the Powers with Turkey would precepi-
tate an European war that would involve
the whole of Europe. This display of
petty jealusy is one of the darkest
crimes of this century, as it shows a dis
position to sacrifice the eutire Armenian
peonle, rather than take step which
might possibly involve a possible gain
In strength within Turkeys borders by
one or another of the nations.
1t is an insult to the intelligence of man.
kind to say that monstrOus wrong of
this kind cannot be stopped. The great
nations by whose idulgence and under
whose protection the Turkish govern
ment continues to exist could put an
end to the prevailing massacre and des-
Olation tomorrow if they cared to use
their power and perform their duty.
They have only to say that there must
be no more butchering of men, women
and children to crafty Mohammedan
vengeance, and that would be the end of
the horrible sacrifice. But they play at
the game of diplomacy for political and
selfish reasons, and the Armenians are
left at the mercy of an enemy that con-
strues this non-interference as sign of
permission to go on with its indiscrim-
mate killing and ravaging.

vioIators of Prohibitory Law.

A number of interesting liquor cases
have occupied the attention of the peo-
pie of Halifax for the last two days. Five
citizens of that town have been found
guilty of violating the prohibition law.
Horace Blanchard's fine and sentence
amounted to about three years, George
Kenney will get about $50 days in the
House of Correction as an alternative of
fine. Walter Reed gets about sixty
days in the same institution aud Fred
Stanley and Wendell Houghton each pay
$40 and costs.
Three or four farmers have recently
been fined for selling cider. and this
makes nine people who have been found
guilty of breaking the prohibitory law
in town of about 700 inhabitants.
Blanchard has been carrying on a
large business for ten years or more, rid
ing over the hills on blackboard and
selling alcohol diluted and colored. The
other men bought of Blanchard and sold
to others.

Sixteen to one is cardinal point of
Populist faith. Sixteen of audience to
one of lecturer was about the proportion
which greeted w. NJ. Howard, Populist
Congressman from Alabama, as he step
ped before the curtain in Blanchard OPP
era house last Wednesday evening, load
ed to the muzzle with his lecture, "If
Christ came to Congress-" The Populist
lecturer did not like the Populist ratio.
so he declined to deliver his lecture, and
those who had paid for their admission
had their money returned at the box Of
flee. Mr.. Howard, 1t is understood, has
gone back to Washington. and if the Wis

be made, it is to be hoped that he will be
found attending to the duties for which
he is paid $1,000 year.-Montpelier Ar

The Rev. Lyman D. Foster, who died
at Chester recently, was born in Charles
ton, S. c., in 1929. His father owned a
plantation and 900 slaves. At the age of
IS. while he was still in college, the sys-
tenn OF slavery became repugnant to
young Foster and he started North. He
studied at the Woodstock medical school
and was afterward a law student He
served during the war in the 10th Yer
mont Regiment and later was one of the
sharpshooters. After the war he was
engaged to take charge of the town
farms in Cavendish, Rockingham and
Chester. He united with the Methodist
church at Proctorsville in 1870, and soon
after began to study for the ministry.
His pastnrates were in Bellows Falls,
South Londonderry, Cambridgeport,
Athens and other places.

INDIANS AND NEGROES AS SOL
DIERS.
The Former, a Scheme of'Secretary
Proctor's, a Failure.

FIOSlOE % q oHNIOs
There will be no further efforts on the
part of the War Department to encour-
age Indian enlistments. The expert
piGnt of trying to make soldiers of them
was first ordered by Senator Proctor,
thor SaCrctlry of War, and for three
years every iaGuooment was held out 70
the lEdian te:enlist. but from the very
start the thh,g was failure. Two en-
tire regiments were secured, amounting
in all to S25 men, this number having
been reached in December, 1895, ana
since then it has dwindled until there
are now only tvo companies of about
seventy-five men, on detached service at
Fort Sill, guarding the remnants of the
old Geronimo tribe and in few months
these are expected to return to their
former life on the reservations.
At their best the Indians were never
found to possess the qualities for good
soldiers. Officers reported them as dis
satisfied with the rigorous duties and
confinement of military life, and slow to
master the details of tactics and disci-
pline. General Schoheld believed that
the Army might find good material
among the Indians for soldiers, but later
he acknowledged his mistake. As cav
airy the red men proved to be better
than as infantrymen, and for while the
Department was hopeful of securing
full regiment with some of the non
commissioned officers as Indians. Their
dislike for everything partaking of re-
straint and subordination, however,
soon made it evident that the scheme
must be abandoned. From several COM
panies of Indians the force decreased un-
til there was not sufficient number 10
form one company.
Contrary to general predictions, the
Army is meeting with great success with
colored men as soldiers. There are now
two full cavalry regiments, the 9th and
10th. composed exclusively of them, and
if there is an increase in the standing
Army by this Congress. another regi-
ment of colored troops will be added TO
the service. For three years, three COM
panies of these men from the 7th Caval-
ry were stationed at the post across the
Potomac from Washington, and when-
ever there was a parade of National
troops in the city the cOlored men al
ways came in for an equal share of COM
ment and admiration for their military
bearing and efficiency in movements.
Their commanding officer, Colonel Guy
V. Henry, declared that they, were as
fine soldiers as any he had ever com.
manded, and he could depend on them
following him wherever he might direct.
Less fault is found in handling this class
of enlisted men than any other. They
are easily satisfied, and the uniform and
trappings tickle their fancy. For this,
if for no other reason, they are content
to serve the Government.

Shooting at West Norwich.

Again Norwich is excited. This time
it is shooting affair, not a grave rob-
berry. 1t has been given out there that
Monday evening Charles n. Smith, post
master at West Norwich shot and wound
ed William Eastman, a questionable
character of Norwich. Eastman was
drunk, and making much disturbance in
the Office. He was ordered out, but re-
fused to go out, and threatened to
clean out the place. Mr.. Smith has en-
tered complaint against Eastman, and
the latter be may have to answer for an
assault in connection with one or TWO
other crimes. .

In case England persists in her de
clared intentions of competing Venezuela
to change her boundary lines so that the
recently discovered gold fields will be.
come British possessions, she may pos
sibly ms Ike the same mistake that she
m lde when, Understanding her anita 20
nists, she made war upon the American
colonies. 1t is believed that Venezuela
can put an army Of 100000 well equipped
men at once into the field, in case hostil-
itles are opened. The Verezuelans are
good fighters and are patriotic; and,
spurred by the injustice of England's
mercenary demand for third of her
territory, they are enthusiastic in the
work of preparing for a strong defense
in case of attack.

The rapidity with which the ranks of
the G. A. R. are being depleted is shown
by the reports thus far received by De-
partment Commander Cannon, giving
statistics of mortality among the q. A..
r. of Vermont this year. 1t is estimat-
ed that the death rate will be 80 per cent.
higher than for the two preceding
years, the increase being more decidedly
marked than between any other years.
In 1885, with a membership of $780, the
deaths were %. or .0O66 per cent. in
1889, it was .0105; IN 1891, .0l73; in 1893,
with a membership of 5,274, there were
107 deaths, or .0203 per cent. Reports
for the first half of '95 showed Y deaths,
and reports from posts thus far received
show the rate for the last half to be fully
as large, indicating more than 3 per cent.

Indians To Sue Vermont,

Chief Thompson Of 81. Regis, Ontario,
and Chief John Bruce of Hogansburg, n.

quois Indians, have obtained the permis-

against the State of Vermont for $780,
for some 2,4000,000 acres of land sold
many years ago; and against the State of
New York for 100000 acres for which
they have never been paid.
They also laid certain grievances be-
fore Hoyter Reid, superintendent gener-
al of Indian affairs.
