porary as missiles sent with malice
prepense. This is all wrong. Correc-
ton may not always be pleasant, but it
is generally wholesome, and, if accepted
in the right spirit, useful. So the Ne,os
should apply itself sedulously to the &C.
QUESTION of knowledge and the under
standing of right principles, and forego
all such moonshine as reflections on
personal character" "glass houses"
and stone-throwing. All that stuff
is the product OF morbid condition of
the mind.
As to the Ne,us' " challenge" TO show
cause why the Vermont senate's men,
bership should not be doubled, the
WATCHMAN "adduced" the "sub.
stantial reason" that such increase, or
any increase, would be opposed to and
destructive of the purpose or function
of the senate in the legislative system.
This purpose, involving also the ques-
ton of the size of the body and the
manner of choosing senators, was well
worked out in the formation of the
federal constitution. The American
idea of senate has stood the test of a
century of a great variety of expert
ences, and has been successfully
adopted by the forty.four states of the
Union, the later ones accepting it with.
out material change, and after its wis
dom had been abundantly proved by
the federal government and the older
states. The evidence in this matter is
cumulative and without a break. In
the affirmation and repeated reaffirma-
ton of the principle of senate small
in numbers, and otherwise more or less
unlike the representative body, the
best legal minds of the country, down
to the recent revision of the constitu-
ton of the state of New York, have
concurred. This is pretty strong testi.
mony, The difficulty with the Ne,os
is, as we explained at the outset, that il
misconceives the purpose of the senate
in the American legislative scheme
1t should devote itself to reading, study
and reflection, and by 1900, when this
subject will come up for action, it may
begin to see how crude and immature
its ideas were in 1895.

Obituary..

DILLINGHAM. = Died, at Lisbon, N. H.,
Thursday, April %, Mary Ellen, wife of ex-
Governor William p. Dillingham; of Water
bury, Vermont. The announcement of the
death OF Mrs. Dillingham; came very unex-
pectedly to her friends in her Vermont
home. 1t had been understood that in the
quiet and seclusion of her sisters family in
New Hampshire she was seeking rest and re-
cuperation from malady to whose inroads
she had not long ago yielded up the activities
OF busy life. With the return Of springs re.
storing sunshine and warmth, her wide cir
Gle of friends had hoped to welcome her
back in recovered health and strength to
social companionship and to the scenes OF
her usefulness. SO the tidings that the sill.
yer cord had been suddenly loOsened came
with startling painfulness to illustrate afresh
the uncertainties of human life. Her hus.
band had but recently left her side for a
brief space and was in Waterbury, with no
thought that the great crisis was nigh, and
her son was at school in Mass achusetts. To
neither had the angel of death given timely
warning of his coming. A singularly united
and happy family in life, the pathos OF the
separation is deepened by the fate that
widely parted them in death. Funeral SER
vices largely attended by mourning COM
munity, were held at Waterbury on Satur-
day, Rev. w. r. Davenport, assisted by
Rev. w. M. Newton, otficia ling. Mrs. Dill

she had for twenty years been au exceed
ingly interested and active factor. With
out cant or ostentation, simply a ad natur-
ally and untiringly as the sunlight and
the refreshing showers work, she wrought.
Particularly lovely was her interest in the
| young girls of the village. Her solicitude
| for their welfare knew no sect or creed.
| She interested them in wholesome mental
culture and all else that was good, She
was not a schoolmistress over them but a
delightful elder sister, studying with them,

in their trials, rejoicing in their triumphs,
leading and encouraging them in system

With her this work was no titful fire, but a
steadfast flame, kindled anew each year,
and burning with grateful light and warmth

Mrs. Dillingham; as one who gave them gem

and pleasures OF life to bring them words of

Japan's New Danger.

Japan has conquered China after
series of brilliant victories on land and
sea. Her achievements in war and
skill in diplomacy have been revela-
ton 10 the world A new power has
suddenly arisen in the East, and the ma
tions of Europe, having interests in
Asia, are startled by the apparition.
Japan has made an honorable peace
with China. She has shown magnan-
unity and real greatness in the terms
given her vanquished antagonist.
China was the aggressor. Japan went
to war unwillingly. Her exactions as
the conditions of peace have been rea.
sonable. In them appears no sugges-
ton of rapacity.
But some of the terms of peace are
not satisfactory to some of the powers
of Europe. Russia is demanding sea-
port in Corea for naval station free
from ice and for the terminus of her
Siberian railway. Corea's independ-
ence has been guaranteed by the recent
treaty between Japan and China, and
Japan answers Russia by saying she
has no right and is not able to grant
her request. With Russia, France and
Germany object to Japan's holding
Port Arthur and the peninsula upon
which that fortress is situated. They
object also to the holding of Wei. Hal
Wei. The retention of these strong
places, the powers say, menaces China
and their interests in Asia. Japan an
swers that her purpose is to hold the
conquered forts and adjacent territory
only as security for the payment of the
$4,000 900 indemnity China has
agreed to pay. When that has been
paid she will hand the fortresses over
to China. Japan has apparently pro-
pitiated the good will of England. By
the conditions of the new treaty sew
eral new ports of China have been
thrown open, to the trade, not of Japan
alone, but to that of the remainder of
the world also.
The interference of the three powers
to rob Japan of the well-earned and
reasonable fruits of her victories is a
monstrous wrong. 1t can hardly sue
coed against the opposition of Great
Britain. 1t should have, and probably
will encounter, the moral opposition of
the United States also. 1t is doubtful,
in the light of the resources aud ca
pacity for war Japan has shown, if the
interference of Russia, who is the active
disturbing element, could succeed
against the island nation, defending her.
self single-handed and alone. No ma
ton of Europe, not Great Britain her.
self, has shown more intense patriot
ism or greater ability and heroism in
war than Japan. The general opinion
is that the brave little kingdom will no,
yield to the pressure or dictation of the
triple alliance, much less to Russis
alone.

TILLMAN'S TALK.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
made a rather unique speech at the
Atlanta exposition South Carolina day,
which was Thanksgiving day. He
talked of pensions and the part that
the South had contributed to the
amount already paid. There was some
touch of sectional feeling in what he
said, as would naturally be expected.
1t is a good sign when prominent
southern men talk of pensions, sub
ject on which they have refrained from
speaking owing to northern sensibili-
ties and the consciousness that what
ever they might say, no matter how
moderate in itself or in what spirit of
fairness said, that they would be mis-
construed When a prominent man of
the South today speaks of the subject
what he says will be considered ON it's
merits and not judged according to it's
geographical source. This is a very
desirable advance and shows that the
people of the whole country are COM
ing closer together, that they realize
we have a common country, and that
national QueSIIOllS WHICH are lIle COu-
Germ of one portion of the land are the
concern of all portions.
Senator Tillman gave evidence of
his political insight when he said the
South would never govern any more;
that it could only hope to WELD the bal
ance of power between the North and
the West. This is merely a recogni-
ton of the fact that the old ante-bellum
cohesion of the South is gone forever.
Peculiar social conditions we're the
cause which made this cohesion SO
strong. and made rule or ruin the nee
essary policy. It eventually ended in
ruin. 1t is a good thing for the South
and for the whole country that the
solid South is breaking up. 1t shows
that it is receiving new ideas and not
following blindly the old traditions.
Through clinging to the old ideas of
the days of slavery the South isolated
itself, and isolation is bad. The South
today is more homogeneous with the
nation as a whole than it ever was be-
fore,
If it is not good that the South
as such should rule the country, neither

vigorous action he might take to pre-
vent further cruelties toward the Ar

dent should determine to treat the per-
sons who commit them as pirates or
common enemies of the human race.
That comes very nearly expressing the
sentiment of the American people on
this subject. Those who are committing
these murders on the Armenians are
acting as pirates and common enemies
of the human race. Why not treat
them as such?
Protests from the Powers and prom
ises from the Porte do not have the
effect to stop the massacres. 1t is be-
coming clearer and clearer each day
that some more vigorous action must
be taken, action the meaning of which

THE ARMENIAN MAssACREs.

With the dawning of each day comes
the news of more massacres in Arme-
MIA. So thick and so fast come the
reports of them that the world has al
most ceased to be shocked and only
anxiously inquiries the extent. If they
are half as bad as reported (and the
probabilities are that they are worse
some steps beyond the slow ones of
diplomacy should be taken to stop them.
The civilized world has not llesitated
to do what it deemed advisable to put
down the African slave trade and it
should no longer hesitate to put down
Armenian massacres though it entail

such action might be it could not be

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

The story of the death of a. married
woman from the effects of an inten-
tional abortion ought to act as a warn
ing to others. By this we mean not
only the unnatural females who sub
nit to operations of the kind performed
on the deceased, but to those disgraces
to the surgical and medical profession
who engage in the practices OF wnlcn
one doctor is now accused.
We wish to say nothing to prejudice
his individual case, but we do desire
to express our adherence of crime
which has become common in some
parts of this great country, and which
we are credibly informed is increasing
in this city. 1t is rumored that there
are persons engaged in this unprofes-
eional conduct who encourage the
practice, and who add much by it to
the sum of their annual income.
We regard with deep disgust the I'M
matronly wives who submit to these
vile operations to escape maternity, and
we look with deeper aversion upon the
criminal practitioners who prostitute
their talents and bring reproach upon
an honorable profession by their, das-
tardly deeds of death. Physicians are
to promote life and health not to kill
and destroy.
When a clear case is made against
any of them, we hope the punishment
will be made as severe as the law al
lows. 1t does not meet the full re-
But lesson ought to be taught which
will be salutary, and will serve to some
extent at least to lessen if not put a
stop to the abominable and infamous
crime of prenatal murder.

FRYE AND THE WOODEN MILLS.

Senator Frye's concern for the woollen
mills is almost pathetic. "They must

period they will do better than l ex-
pect." Perhaps the fortitude and the
success of our shoemakers in getting
along with free leather, of our silk and
cotton mills with untaxed fibres, may
sustain the woollen manufacturers who
have had free wool thrust upon them
Should these examples not encourage
them they can look for hope to the steady
prosperity of their chief competitors in
