Gladstone Speaks for Down-trodden
Armenia

LONDON Dec, 81. In a leader this
morning the Times says; Mr., Glad
stones retirement from public life
is final, but 1t would be well for Tur-
key to reflect in her own interest,
that in the Armenian matter Mr.,
Gladstone, with little personal ef-
fort and no personal ambition what
ever, might play the part Of blind,
old Dandolo He has the whole
British public opinion behind
him, and If the porte deded Euro
pean opinion, his appeal will be ca
pable Of producing all, perhaps more
than all the effect he contemplated
as merely contingent,
The Times remarks were called
forth by the speech made yesterday
by Mr., Gladstone to "A deputa-
tion from a meeting Of
the AngloArmenlan Association
and other Armenian organizations
who waited on the ex.prime Minis.
ter at Iiawarden, After pointing
out that It was not Indifference that
led him to do nothing in regard to
the Armenian outrages, and that
the powers should do nothing until
the allegation were proven Mr.,
Gladstone said,
"lf the allegations are true, It
will stand as II written in letters Of
iron on the records Of the world,
that a government which could
countenance and cover the perpet.
ration Of these outrages Is a dis.
grace TO Mahommed, whom the
Turks profess to follow a Disgrace
to civilization at large and a curse
to mankind This Is strong langu.
age, and strong language ought to
be used when the facts are very
strong"
''EIowever, we should keep our
judgements In suspense, until the
truth Is known, but, as the evidence
grows and the case darkens, my
hopes have dwlndled, and as long as
have voice, hope It will be rails.

GENEROUSLY OF PR0FEssINAL
MEN.

Few people realize and appreciate
the immense amount of work that
is done gratuitously by professional
men. The clergyman gives his
whole life to the service of his fell
low man, but it does not lie within
the compass of human attainments
for a preacher to be any better than
he is expected to be, or to get be-
yond what will popularity be consid-
cred his duty. The Bible mentions
no separate or superior standard
for him, but the millennium would
dawn tomorrow if Pensioners lived
up to the measure they have fixed
for the ministers. A general adop-
tion of his actual status weuld rev.
olutionize the world,
The average practicing physician
gives away about third Of his ar
duous labor; when his attention is
requested he goes as regularly and
works as faithfully for the pauper
as he does for the millionaire, Al
though he invests largely in educa-
tion, lives soberly, is burdened with
much care and pursues his business
both night and day, he is exception
ably fortunate if he leaves his fam
lily a competency when he receives
his final call. The wealthiest man
in the community does not approXi-
mate the charity of the active phys
ician who pays more for his license
chan he is assessed for his proper
ty.
The mammon loving lawyer has
been frequently traduced by men
who were never guilty of an act of
generously, Barristers, like other
classes Of humanity are good, bad
and Indifferent, but the bad and in
different are not with the more pre-
valent in the legal profession than
in the various avocations that are
less remuneIative, The mere fact
that an attornay sometimes grows
rich is not prima facia evidence that
he is not a blessing to the commun-
ity in which he lives, 1t is possible
for a man to be good and rich too;
heaven knows if he has much capa-
city for combining wealth with in
tegrity as he daily exhibits in unit
ing vice and poverty, his afIluence
ought to be no reflection upon his
character. Where one lawyer preys
upon helplessness and ignorance,
there are ten who will defend and
save the unlearned and impotent
from the wiles and Vaccinations of
unscrupulous land sharks who have
never been classified and labeled,

CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. = Both
Houses of Congress will resume their
sessions on Thursday next and it is
expected that there will be a more
determined effort to press the work
of the session for the next two
months than has characterized the
proceedings during the month
which has already elapsed
The necessary work of the session
is the passage of the appropriation
bills, of which there are fourteen.
Of these, none have passed the
Senate, and only five have received
the sanction of the House, OF these
five, the Senate Committee on APP
preparations has passed favorably
upon the pensions and military
academy bills, while the army, for
tifcations and urgent deficiency
bills are still under consideration by
the committee, 1t is in order for
the Senate to take up any reported
appropriation bill at any time and
whether the Nicaragua canal bill
which stands on the Senate calen-
dar as unfinished business shall con
tinue to hold its place of vantage
will depend for the present upon
whether the appropriations com
mittee shall desire to supplant it
with the pensions or Notifications
bill, or with any other appropria-
tions Bill after the other bills shall
be reported from the committee,
There is, however, no urgency con-
corning either of the appropriation
bills, so far as reported, and the
probabilities are that the Nicarag.
uau canal bill will not be displaced
for the present
The Nicaraguan canal discussion
will, barring the possibility of dis
placement and adjournment over
until the following Monday, be re-
sumed after the morning hour on
Thursday with Senator Morgan oc-
cupying the floor. Mr., Morgan has
been devoting his days to the prep
aration of a reply to Senator Turs
pies attack upon the canal bill, and
his friends expect him to make
vigorous and exhaustive defense
of the measure and Of the enter
prise whose interests it is intended
to promote, He will probably
speak an entire day and possibly
two or three days,
There may be an effort to have
the Senate adjourn from Thursday
until Monday in case there should
not appear to be a quorum when
the Senate reconvenes, but those
best acquainted with Senate meth
DDS predict that it will sit for at
least two days of the present week.

Florida had sustained loss that, if
estimated in money would reach

will be felt for many years, directly
or indirectly, by all the people of
the state.
Previous to this time the coolest
weather known was in 1885, but
there is no record to show how cold
it was then. Reports from the in
terror of the state show that the
cold weather has been general and
extended from one end Of the state
to the other,
The lowest temperature at Tam
pa was Is degrees, and the same
was reported at Titusville. At Ce-
dar Keys it was reported to be as
low as l6 degrees, and at Key West
it was down to A degrees. The cold
weather played havoc with the
plumbing and water pipes froze.
The occurrence was so unusual that
it was some time before the resi-
dents could realize that the water
had actually frozen in the pipes
There was ice in shallow places,
however, and there we're icycles ev-
erywhere, The weather has moder-
ated and the cold spell is now brok-
en-. At s o'clock tonight the tenn
perature was 40 degrees.

More Bonds to Be Issued.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l,--A gentle
man who had a talk recently with
President Cleveland says; 81 feel
pretty sure that President Cleve-
land anticipates no relief from our
legislators on the currency situation
during the next session, and that he
feels it his duty to use what power
he has to maintain the credit of the
country At the same time he fears
that the exercise Of this power,
namely, the issue Of bonds, will in
tensify the evils so as to cause a
great deal of uneasiness among bus
iaess men, He believes, however,
that it is necessary that the situa-
ton should be plainly seen by the
country to be very bad in order that
an extra session, if called, shall be
able to accomplish some COED, 1t
is a fact that the American people
require the plainest and severest
object lessons before they can be
forced to act unanimously and SEN
siby, I anticipate another bond is

two later, BY that time the people

unusual experience of Mr.. Lawrence
Winters, until recently cigar maker

the late war, but the truth of which
was not learned until few years

the truthfulness Of the story.
He was member of the Twenty.

the battle of Chickamauga was in the
thickest of the fighting, His regi-

woods, and during the battle the ar

every dir ction and u number of men
were struck by the falling trees. Just
as he was in the act of firing his gun

him n stinging blow on the arm. His
arm began to bleed and it was found
necessary to have him taken to the
hospital. There his arm was dressed
and as it soon healed nothing was
thought of the matter. His arm
would occasionally give him good
deal of pain, but he thought lothing
