NO WAR THIS TINE.


The war froth is pretty nearly over.
Nothing now remains except for the
president to conclude the list of appoint
ments to the Venezuelan commission, and
there is a probability that he will com
plete that task by today or tomorrow.
Then, for the present and fol some time
to come, the incident will be closed, and
all discussion Of 1t and all talk of possible
ment of the commission is neither a dec
laratlon Of war by the United States nor
a cause why Great Britain should declare
1t. Neither country has the slightest in
tention Of going to war over any such
matter. Nor will our diplomatic relations
be in the least strained. Everything will
go on just as before. The commission
will do Its work quietly. 1t will not hold
public meetings on the steps of the Capt.
toll nor shout its findings from day to day
from the top of the Washington monu-
ment. The country will know nothing
Of Its work until It has completed its
labors and made It's report to the presi-
dent, and, through him, to congress. That
report will be an important document; but
1t will not be a declaration or a cause
OF war. 1t will merely be a mass Of in
formation or opinion, officially procured,
and laid before this government for its
use in further diplomatic negotiations. 1t
may contain some recommendations, but
It win have no force until accepted and
executed by congress.
In the meantime let the Jingoes on both
sides OF the water put padlocks on their
mouths. The commissioner report Is not
to be. expected for several months. In
that interval much may happen. The
whole dispute may be amicably and
equitably settled. Certainly there Is no
serious cause to apprehend further COM
plications. The disposition Of all parties
concerned tends toward reasonableness.
There win be no weakening Of American
resolution to maintain just rights. But
let there be no more BLACK panic and
red hot lre." The interval between the
creation of the commission and the pres
entation OF its reports is one In which the
country may prohtably attend to its or
binary business, and leave wars and
rumors OF wars strictly alone.

THE TURK AGAIN.

Public interest in Europe, as well as in
this country has been so comp etely abb
sorbed during the last week by the Ven
ezuelan question that the Sultan has been
permitted to drop out Of sight. and no
one seems to have paid much attention to
the remarkable announcement which has
just been officially made to the foreign
ambassadors at Constantinople by the
Sublime Porte. 1t is to the effect that,
owing TO the obstinacy Of the Armenians
who rave sought refuge at Zeitoun. In re.
fusing to surrender the town to the Turk
ish troops, It's bombardment will begin at
once. And although the place Is declar-
ed to be entirely surrounded by the Otto
man forces, yet the beleaguered ATme-
mans are charged with destroying dozens
OF Mussulman villages In the vicinity.
and with putting the MahOmetan lnhabi
tants-many hundred In number-to the
sword. All this only serves TO recall the
ancient fable Of the wolf and the lamb.
and is in all probability intended to pre-
pare the public mind abroad for a repe-
tition Of the dreadful sassoun massacre
BY the humiliation Of the Armenlans now
In possession of zeltoun. The Armenian
problem has been one of great difficulty
for several months past, and has brought
TO the brink of wal several OF the great
powers Of Europe; but II the latter win
only continue THAR maefarlv nollcv NJ
buster and inaction a little longer, the
Porte may be relied on to relieve them
lin its own characteristic Turkish way)
Of any embarrassment they may have
suffered-icr there win soon be no Arme-
mans left in the ottoman Empire.

the statement has not been directly con.

The East Oregonian says: Associated
Press newspapers print the following dis
patch from Washington:
Senator Mitchell has secured the al
lowance of a pension to Captain Ben
jamin f. Conner, Of Pendleton, Or, at IS
per month, to date from November "a,
1891. Connor's back pay amounts TO
1892"
This is truly refreshing. Wonder II
Senator Mitchell made this a special
matter" People hereabout know that
Captain Conner is as much entitled TO
a pension as a duck is entitled to a col
legiate education. Captain Conner is as
able to make a living as any man in the
country. In truth, his excuses prove
that he is physically a sound man, or he
would have been dead long ago. The
pension would better enable him TO con-
tinue these excuses somewhat at the eX-
pense Of the American people. The peo-
pie do not pay Senator Mitchell $500 a
wear to secure penr'ons for Canta'n Con-
nor, and he should be ashamed Of such
prostitution of office"
