Occasionally We hear a whine from
some cymling-headed chump about
our soldiers drawing pensions. Let
them whine on. Tho time is at hand
when every soldier that carried saber
or musket ought to draw pension.
The charge has been made that thou
sands OF fraudulent pensioners are on
the rolls!
There never was n baser SANDER
uttered. After the closest possible
scrutiny OF tho pension rolls, out OF
5000 pensioners. thirty-nine alleged
frauds were discovered. This was less
than one in 5000. and it proved that
the surviving Veterans OF the war are
more honest than tho twelve apostles
who followed our Savior through his
ministry on the earth.
Soldiers OF the Grand Army, let not
your hearts be troubled. Amid the
clash OF battle, you trusted your coun.
try, aud it is going to trust you. Tho
great Inass OF tho people arc with you
and behind you. You stood rs wall
OF iron before shot and she'll, and the
American people will stand as a wall OF

our sympathy, but you deserve more

it will not keep the wolf from tho old.

REFORMS
In Armenia Suggested by the
Powers for Consider alton


CoNsTANTIYoPLK, May II. - TIE note
presented to the sultan by the representa-
tives of the powers, respecting reforms In
Armenia, comprises 25 closely written
quarto pages. Among the measures pre-
liminary TO tho reforms, the note demands
the appointment Of high commissioners,
general amnesty for and release Of all po
litical prisoners. the revision Of certain
Judgments and the appointment OF com
mission to sit at Constantinople, charged
with the surveillance and application oi
the reforms, and working. In concert with
the high commission previously referred to
The principal reforms demanded are that
the governors and vice governors OF Van,
Erzeroun, Sivas, Bitlis, Kharput and Ire
bizonde be Christian OF Mussulman, ac'
cording to how the population OF these
places Is divided. In any case, the gov
ernor or Woe governor is to be Christian
The note also suggests that such officials
should first be
Approved by the Powers.
In regard to the finances, all the taxes
are to be collected by the local and not by
state officials, and enough Is to be retained
before the money is forwarded to Constan'
tinople to defray the cost Of local ad-
ministration. This is the exact opposite
TO tho present system, by which taxes are
first sent to Constantinople, from which
city but little money returns TO Armenia
The judicial reforms proposed by the
powers make radical changes In the pres
ent system, ensure proper trials, tho sur
veillance Of prisons and the total abolition
of torture. The gendarmerie, or police,
Is to be composed equally Of Turks and
Christians, and the latter and Kurds are
still to be retained in the notorious noma,
dian cavalry, but they are not to be al
lowed TO have arms, except during drill
Finally, the government is asked to revoke
the law against
Compulsory Conversion TO Islam.
In many circles here il Is contended that
the foregoing reforms are quite inadequate
and that the abuses complained OF by the
Armenians will soon recommence.
The sultan read the note of the powers
attentively, and his reception OF IL was
not unfavorable. 1t Is understood that he
recognized that the proposals do not com
promise his sovereign rights or dignity.
He has had several conferences with
various ambassadors. and IN an audience
with Baron Calico, the Australian am.
bassador, the latter strongly urged the
sultan to acquiesce with tho demands OF
the powers The sultan was not offended
and sent him valuable present. He ap'
peared 70 count upon the moral support OF
Emperor William Of Germany, to whom
he has sent On autograph letter by Ber'
tram Effendi under secretary OF the bu
reau of indirect taxation.
