WHO is TO BLAME P

There is not a doubt that the
truth is not yet known as to those
Turkish outrages in Armenia. The
reasons that shroud this matter in
doubt are not easy to come at, but
the reports are too conflicting to al
low any one Of fair mind to come
to conclusions until farther light is
let in upon the question. Those
who believe that all who do not
readily accept the teachings Of
Christian missionaries are natural
thieves, liars, protiigates and de-
mons incarnate will accept the
tales that are reported by the mis-
sionarIes as gospel truth, but there
are others who will not. Before a
Just verdict is rendered, it will be
necessary to have true information
OF the practices INDUCED in in that
country by those who are hostile
to the religion of the country.
There are two ways Of dealing
with the religious differences Of
nations, and 1t is also we'll known
that the most sensitive point
with these eastern nations is their
caste observances. 1t was, dis
regard Of these that led to the ter
rible Sepoy rebellion in India, and
it may be that contempt and dis
regard for some of the Turkish re-
ligious rites Is at the bottom of the
troubles there. Wait and see. 1t
is better to do this than to write
whole nation down accursed and
without the pale of civilization. 1t
seems to be a hard thing for the
Anglo Saxon to understand that
his interference with the religious
faiths Of nations Iantagonistic to
his own in everyl way, is a very
serious thing, that to many whom
he attempts to proselyte this as
sault upon his religion is the most
heinous Of all crimes, to commit
which is to place the perpetrator
without the pale. There are rights
which the heather are entitled
to as against the attempts Of the
Jealous of other faiths to sub
vert, and when these rights
are trampled upon it is but natural
that strong and savage resentment
should be provoked, especially in
the minds of those who at best are
only partially civilized. Even the
Puritans OF this country would
have been dangerous to those bold
Indians, had there been such, who
should have attempted to compel
them to accept the teachings of
Mr.. LO, whose untutored mind sees
God in the cloud and hears him in
the wind. Let those Turks at least
have the privilege Of their religion,
and if these cruelties complained
of arise out of an unwise attempt
to fasten a strange religion upon
them, think not strange that it is
resented. Let those people alone
as to their religion. TO this must
we come as a final conclusion in
the long run and it might as well
be done now.
President Cleveland would give
all of his old boots to be able to
break up the silver trust. If he
could accomplish this that two
million-signature- petition for the
destruction Of the whisky traffic OF
the country would not cause him a
moments unrest. He is welded
to gold bond as surely as he is to
wife and family and office and bait
and reel and rod. Don't you forget

Matters are dragging in the mat
ter Of Nicaragua canal in a way
that is not at all agreeable to the
promoters Of that work and its ad-
vocates in this country. There is
not a shadow of doubt that the
canal will be built and that il it is
not done with American capital
and behind that capital the en-
dorsement Of the American gov
eminent, then it will be built with
English capital and the waterway
Will be controlled by foreign and
hostile government; a govern
ment that is our greatest CONNER
cial rival and one to whom it is
not wisdom to give a stick to cud-
gel ourselves with. Congress can
not do any thing with the cur
rency, but it can and should do
something with Nicaragua canal.

There is judge in New York
who refuses to issue naturalization
papers to any one who does not
understand and speak United
States. This is rushing the season
little, but it is a move in a pro-
per direction and the time will
come when that practice will be
universal. The American should
understand the language in which
the laws that are to govern him
are written, the language in which
the oaths that he takes are pre-
scribed, the language in which the
ballot that he votes is prepared &.
This sensible view of the matter
will prevail in time, and for that
time we wait.

South Carolina doctors announce

The LIGHT has been an earnest
advocate of an American cable to
the Hawaiian islands. II the re-
ports of fortunes inflicted upon the
subjects of this and other govern
ments, by President Dole, are sub
stantiated, the LIGHT will feel like
revising that opinion and advocat-
ing the withholding OF a congress
sional subsidy until that republic
can give bonds for a more civilized
conduct. There is no more sense
in resorting to torture in this day
OF the world than there is Of
preaching the doctrine OF a hell in
to which the sinners are pitched
with hot forks and turned over on
the Goals to roast. Uncle Sam has
no community OF feeling with
Hawaii il that is her humanity.

THE BICYCLE

The bike has come to stay.
The ladies are taking TO the sport
in great numbers.
The Mission Athletic association
is to organize bicycling club as
an adjunct to their already strong
organization. 1t promises to be a
hummer.
A ladies cycling club OF Chicago
has adopted knickerbockers as
cycling costume and are fully de-
termined to wear them. The ques-
ton OF striking a match has been
solved by this club, and it Is said
that each member carries a match
box in her pocket to prove that she
is built that way.
The LIGHT is DESTROYS of obtain
ing the total number OF bicycles in
the city and would suggest some
one we'll posted give an estimate.
Bicycle riders should organize as
they do in the northern states and
demand good roads from our COM
missioners. 1t is never too early
to make a start, and with the
increase Of riders the more effect
their prayers will have.
BASE BALL.
The national game seems to have
taken a fresh hold in the hearts
Of the American people, judging
from the attendance at ball games
all over the country.

OUTDOOR SPORTS.
FISHING AND FIELD.


Fishing parties are now the rage
The season for all kinds of game
is at an end.
Fishing at Arkansas Pass and
vicinity is reported as being good.
The largest brook trout on record
was recently caught in a Western
New York stream. 1t weighed .
pounds ounces, and was shipped
to New York City and there placed
on exhibition at the Fulton mar
ket. o."
The owners of sailing crafts on
Gulf coast are putting their boats
in shape for the fishing season.
\ correspondent from Corpus
Christi reports the catch OF an i'm
mense Jew fish weighing SEQ
pounds. Same was caught at Cor
pus Christi Pass.
The Arkansas Pass will run some
cheap excursions to the Gulf coast
this summer.
Doves are now pairing and nest
ing. They should not be molested
until July 10Th to Au gust lst.
THE TRAP.
Some OF the old trap shots have
"fallen by the wayside." This
means they are not up to the gem
eral average.
The LIGHT is infor med, on SEEM
ingly good authority, that GER
tain club has been "stut1ing" the
scores. II such is the truth the
newspapers of this city should re-
fuse to publish them unless an atfi-
davit accompan les the score.
An incident happened last Sun
day at Lakeview in which Mr.. j..
F. France while at the score killed
one live AMI one inanimate
bird with one shot. He called
pull ~ and just as he pulled the
trigger a scissortail bird happened
to cross the line OF the shot. He
thus broke the target and killed

Some of the most amusing stories OF

.sBy the way, how do you spell your
name?'' inquired a young lady of an
old acquaintance. She took this way OF
recalling. without embarrassment, a
name that unaccountably escaped her
recollection. "S-m-i-t-h," he replied
to her confusion. It is related of Joe
jefferson that he wassone day intro
duced to General Grant, an event that
naturally impressed him strongly.
Later in the day, according to the New
York Mail and Express, he got into
an elevator of the hotel at which they
wer both stopping. A short, heavy
set man also got in, lifted his hat to
Jefferson, and made some remark. 81
beg your pardon. Your face is fami-
liar, but / cannot recall the name, .
said the actor. General Grant cour-
teously gave his name. 81 got off at
the next floor for fear / would ask him
if he had ever been in the war, Jeffer-
son said in relating this story. Worse
than that, he once forgot his own
name. He had gone into a postoffice
at some small resort where he was
unknown, and asked the clerk if there
was any mail for him. "What's the
name asked the clerk. .sName? Oh,
yes certainly. Why, let's see 1 play
Rip Van Wrinkle, you know" "Jeffer-
son. said the astonished and delight
ed clerk, "Yes, jefferson, thanks,
he answered politely, as he received his
mail and bowed himself out.

valuable quantities OF vegetables.

The following information may be
useful: Spinach has a direct effect on
the kidneys. The common dandelion,
used as greens, is excellent for the
same trouble. Asparagus purges the
blood. Celery acts admirably upon
the nervous system, and is a cure for
rheumatism and neuralgia. Tomatoes
act upon the liver. Beets and turnips
r excellent appetizers. Lettuce and
cucumbers are cooling in their effects
upon 1.-THE system. Onions, garlic, leeks,
olives and shalots, all of which are
similar, possess mediciical virtue of a
marked character, stimulating the cir

increase in the saliva and the gastric
