New York Trfbnne,

1t is Labouchere's opinion that great vigil
ancr Is required of the British man when he
meets the American man in any of the con-
tests of diplomacy or trade CIR sport, and II Is
perhaps true. Put his implication that the
reason for this is that some unfair advantage
is always likely to be taken Of the former Is
absurd. In the first Of these exercises En-
gland has been the most overreaching power
that ever existed, the exorbitancy Of her pre-
tensions sud exactions corresponding with
the weakness Of the State she was dealing
with. In trade she has been equally dom
ineerinn, and monopolizing all the world; in
sport her only important international con-
tests have been with us, and she has generally
but not always been whipped. Mr. Labou'
chere has too much good sense to affirm that
there has ever been anything unsportsrnan-
like on our side in our contests with her. He
knows bett,r. In the long competition for
tho yachting cup, extending over near 20
years. the Americans have met their competi-

to every possible requirement. Of the sport

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING



There is no doubt that the Christian powers
IF Europe, or Russia and England alone,
coula. by main force, put stop to the perse-
cution of tho Armenian Christians by the
Turks. One Of the reasons for thcir exceed
ing caution in the case is their knowledge and
experience OF the fighting ability of the
Turks. Drive the Turk TO the WALL and be
will fight against any odds. Inname his re-
hgioa zeal. and he will rush upon the com
bined armies of Christendom. Lead him to
believe that he il called upon 10 engage in
holy war FOR Islam. and death in battle be-
comes the highest Joy for him. He has SUI
preme faith in Allah and the Prophet. He
believes in lusmet To him the vision Of para
disc is perpetual inspiration. The Turk has
fought all the races IN the world. He has
been he'd in check only by overwhelming
forces His history from the times Of old has
been chiefly that of warfare
Both England and Russia know that the
Turk il driven to bay. would be a determined
foe. who could oe subdued only at heavy
sacrifice of life. The Turk, when stirred up,
is greater than the affrighted Sultan. be has
disposed of many a sultan.
There are reasons other than the fighting
ability of the Turk which makes the Chris.
tian powers very cautious when dealing with
him. If he were subjugated by any one or
more of these powers, the next thing would
doubtless be a grand quarrel in Christendom
over the division of the spoils
The impatient Christians who are so anxi.
Gus that Turkey shall be at once wiped out,
should reflect that this cannot be done until
there has been reckoning with the Turk. If
not with the larger Islam, and that there
must be yet another reckoning afterward.

and in product that Is subject only to
whatever may have been gained in the
use OF shoddy. And as may easily be re-
called, the wooden industry for the pre-
ceding twelve months, ending August 81,
1894, had been pretty we'll on the ebb OF
prosperity.
The reduced quantity OF wool available
for use about corresponds with the in
creased importation OF woolen fabrics,
three times the amount of foreign woolen
fabrics that were imported the preceding
year being imported last year-forty-six
million dollars worth. The American wool
clip fell off one hundred million pounds,
the imports OF wool increased by thirty
four million POUNDS and the difference, a
reduction in wool available to American
mills, represents the occupation OF the
home market with the product Of foreign
wooden mills. There has been gain for
the wooden manufacturers OF Europe and
the gain has been made by reason of the
wider opening OF our home market to
their productions.

THE WOOLEN INDUSTRY.

The condition OF the woolen industry,
which is naturally pet subject for dis
cussion by the free trade press OF New
England in their effort to demonstrate
that free wool is benefcence and not
business crime, requires no expert knowl-
edge to comprehend; nor can any theoret-
ical claims or half truths stand before the
very simple figures furnished by the gov
ernment itself
There may be secured from inquiry at
the mills statistics showing running
hours, help employed, wages paid and
production, but no such ella borate inquiry
is at all necessary to explain the .itua-
tion. The plain statement that during the
fiscal year, ending August 81 last, the
wool available to American mills was
sixty-six million pounds less then it was
for the preceding twelve months, clearly
demonstrates q reduction in running
time, in help employed, in wages paid

The American Missionary Society needs
funds and II ought to have all it needs.
II is doing tremendous work, doing it
with large measure of success, and its
affairs appear to be managed with intelli-
gence, breadth OF view, and economy.
According to the annual report of the
work OF the year now closed, as presented
in Detroit, the Association has reduced
its rate OF annual expenditure by $780, 900
so that il ran behind last year less than
$50, 900 on an expenditure OF the magni-
ficent sum of s337, ,33i-the receipts being
sS07, 547. 16. The Association has a total
indebtedness of SOC, 1871.
The expenditures were not reduced,
however, except at loss OF efficiency
and cessation OF effort in many quar-
ters Schools and missions have been
closed and all along the line the compass
OF work has been contracted to meet the
income. 1t is a pity that the work OF the
organization which extends from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and from Florida to
Alaska, and includes in the South the
negroes and the whites, especially in the
mountains, in the West the Indians, on
| the Pacific coast the Chinese and Japa-
nese and in Alaska the Eskimos, is not
possible of extension; rather than that
| a contraction is made necessary, for the
value OF that work appears to be un-
questionable. It's educational work in
the South alone among the negroes and
the poor whites enlists over twelve
Thousand pupils distributed among 81
schools, six OF which are colleges Of high
rank, and the church work in the same Sec
tion is invested In 1866 churches with a
mem bershp OF nearly ten thousand
and were over fifteen thousand
children in the Sunday Schools. There
are widespread, church missions in the
/ form of evangelistic meetings, Sunday
School and Christian Endeavor services,
home visitation and wsyside work. Every
wherc the A. M. A. church work stands
as a protest against superstition, heathen-
ism and immortality, and as a witness for
pure gospel of light and liberty. And 1t is
significant that where churches or schools
have been closed or the force OF the teach.
ers and missionaries reduced, the enroll
ment has gone on increasing, thus testi
fy ing to the demand on the labor and
funds of the organization, from the un
fortunate people whom 1t is bringing in
to the light. In the Indian field the
withdrawal from government aid on the
part of the Association, in 1892, brought
enforced retrenchmcnt in this work.
This retrenchment fell largest upon the
central schools. Thirty per cent. OF the
total number of pupils have been sent
away from these Indian schools during
the past three years because there was
not sufficient funds to conduct them. Not
Eve per cent. OF these pupils found op'
portunity to secure Christian educat ion
elsewhere, and it is stated that unless the
churches largely increase their contribu'
tions, still more serious sacrifice mus,
come to the Indian work.
