20 voice their sentiments. even though
20 do so they may have TO surrender
some portion OF the days wages. ana II
we could only be sure that our business
men would be equally prompt In the dis
charge Of their duty We should have no
further fear of the results Of the primary.
In other words. we nrrkly believe that 1t
will rest with our businessmen whether
the amendments that We have so often
argued against shall be defeated or adopt
ed.
IL the businessmen poll full vote,
our Fire and Police boards will stand
organized as they now are; otherwise.
otherwise.
1t would be very humiliating thing
for the pubic-spirited, wide-awake, 60
ahead citizens Of Richmond TO find that
our voters had deliberately turned their
hacks upon a municipal system which Is
Just now coming more and more into
vogue with the great cities Of this coun-
try. 1t would be strange. indeed. If Rich
mond should resolve that 1t will no longer
continue in the line of progress. but will
break UP her Fire and Police boards, and
return TO a system which has fallen into
disuse everywhere except in the villages
and very small towns Of this country.
Where viii you find any town that Is
big enough to need the services Of city
engineer that elects that officer by the
people? We know of none. Where are
such boards as ours made political offices
Where are such commissioners as ours
forced TO scramble for their places at
popular elections? Nowhere that we
know OF.
The businessmen OF Richmond ought TO
be the first voters at the polls next Tues
day. They know better than most others
can know the danger Of substituting po-
iitical for business methods in our city
departments. They ought TO be the most
eager TO express their disapproval OF
the threatened changes. They ought TO
require no pleading with. Let them show
the world that they are alive TO their duty,
and will be Jealous and prompt in the
discharge Of It.

The Constantinople Riots.

The centre OF interest in the Arme-
Man question has shifted from Armenia
TO Constantnople. and the cause thereof.
II IS TO be seriously feared. will not
rebound to the benefit OF the prosecuted
Armenians. The truth finds It's way
slowly out OF Constantinople, as 1t does
out Of all other Turkish possessions.
and It will probably be some time before
We are in receipt Of the details and real
facts regarding the recent riots in the
Sultan's capital. Yet enough is known
to indicate that the Armenians were the
aggressors In the first instance and 10
impart decided FEASIBILITY 10 the charge
that the outbreak was in pursuance OF
a regularly organized revolutionary con-
splracy.
This movement IS said TO be inspired
by a secret society having headquarters
At Athens and ramifications all through
Turkey. The society, 1t is alleged. fully
recognizes the impossiblity OF securing
emancipation from Turkish tyranny by
force of arms. but aims to attain that
end through a system of martyrdom. It's
policy is to precipitate just such riots as
have occurred in Constantinople, incite
the Turks to religious fanatlcism, and
bring about brutal treatment Of the Ar
menians and other Turkish anti-Moslein
subjects in the hope that the great
Powers Of Europe will interfere and
partition the Sultan's domains
II II shall be established that the Con-
stantinople riots were part OF this
movement. It would appear that the out
break occurred at a most unfortunate
and inopportune time. There Is no doubt
that quite recently Lord Salisbury used
some very plain language to Turkey re-
garding the Armenian question. Nor Is
there any doubt that for some months
England. Russia, and France. especially
the two frst-named, have been drifting
rapidly towards concert of action In deal
ing summarily with the Sultan. To
show organized revolution in the Con-
stantinople riots would be to give color
to the Turkish charge that the original
trouble in Armenia was also q revolu-
ton. and put the friends OF the Arme-
mans on the defensive.
The Christian world hopes. however,
that whatever may have been the in
spiration Of the Constantinople riots. and
whatever may have been the real cause
OF the Turkish atrocities in Armenia,
there will be no interruption OF the
forces that are tending to the expulsion
of the "unspeaItable Turk" from Eu.
rope, and the general overthrow Of Otto
man sway.
Although the Armenians may have
started the trouble In the two instances
under consideration. there can be no
Justification for the relentless tyranny
and fiendish brutality OF their Turkish
masters. The atrocities Of the latter
defy all code to image or to name. and
IL Is a blot upon civilization that the
Turks should be allowed TO continue In
a position in which they are at any time
liable to repeat them. The demand OF

Legislature for commendable purposes
has in effect been transferred to northern
gamblers and so-called horse-racers, and
by the further fact that certain officials OF
Alexandria county cannot be made to DO
their duty as they should.
For this unwholesome condition or
things there Is no remedy until the Le-
gislature meets. Then we hope and be-
lieve that the aforesaid Grange charter
will be revoked. ana that the County
Judge OF Alexandria and the Governor
will be clothed with powers ample enough
to enable them 20 drive the desperadoes
back into their haunts in Washington,
Gutenberg, and Jersey City.
The Changers OF this State are indlg-
nant at the use that has been made OF
their charter, and will help to have 1t
revoked. The true lovers OF horse-racinS
in our State are equally opposed 70

general public sentiment Of Virginia

this island. Altogether II is subject

gated by the Legislature, which VIII as
sembIe here I'm December. and we conf
IDENTIFY believe that such decided mea-
sures Will then be adopted as will show
these desperadoes that the people of
this State mean that our laws shall be
executed.
That ;his subject will be dealt with In
the annual message OF the Governor We
think ia very probable. That he Will
have the backing Of an overwhelming
public opinion IN his efforts TO break up
this island stronghold of law-defiers we
are equally certain. Meanwhile, let no
one believe that the Governor has failed
10 exert every power that the law has
given him TO bring these border ruf'ians
10 Justice. The trouble is that the laws
now in existence are short OF the neces-
stiles of the case. and when the despe-
radoes' haunts are approached by our
officers they have a steam-launch at
hand, INTO which they quickly slip. and in
a few minutes are carried out OF our juris-
dlction: that is. they take refuge in
Washington. But We rejoice in the be-
lief that the further reign OF these
spurners and defiers Of Virginia laws
will be brief. In December the men,
bers of the Legislature are coming TO
Richmond from all parts Of the State,
resolved to revoke the obnoxious charter
under which much of this lawlessness
is protected. and determined to place in
the hands OF tho Governor and the Conn.
~ Judge Of Alexandria powers adequate
TO enable them TO deal with these island
criminals.

says:
1.-THE method OF the sale OF liquor FOR

best form. The plan OF free trade, with
strict police supervision and adequate
taxation, was, unfortunately, refused

The Scandinavian plan is the one that
Mr.. Gladstone likes. That plan, as he
says, is the sale OF liquors on public &C
