THE SULTAN AND THE POWERS.

The plea of the Sultan contained in the
letter to Lord Salisbury sounds very
much like the appeal of convict about
to be sentenced to prison. Give me an
other chance pleads the unhappy convict
land l will lead an exemplary life. :"
For the time being the convict means
what he says, and SO doubtless does the
Sultan in his letter to Lord Salisbury.
But when his fear departs the old pro-
pensities of the malefaotor come back
again and he finds himself drifting into
crime once pore. The Sultan just now is
thoroughly frightened. The Powers are
threatening him from without and his
own subjects are conspiring against him
within. He sees his throne slipping from
him and he is ready to promise anything
that will help him to maintain himself.
While the eyes of Europe are upon him
and their fleets are in range of his CAPT
tai the Sultan is likely to continue sick
enough to be monk and promise and
undertake to fulfil ali the reforms that
the Powers suggest. He has done that
before under similar circumstances, but
sooner or later he has always lapseG into
his old ways his inclination to behave
is very feeble. and his ability is feebler
still We're he never 80 anxious to put in
force the reforms demanded by the
powers he would fail simply because he
has not the control Of his provinces which
is an essential condition OF the enforce
ment of the demanded reforms. Asiatic
Turkey is in state of hopeless anarchy,
the Sultan S authority is openly defined
there, his troops are untrustworthy and
he has no means of bringing order out of
the chaos.that exists there The ex-
igency IS entirely beyond his strength,
even if he were in position to employ
the full power of the empire. And there
is abundant reason to believe that he is
surrounded by a coterie of men who are
secretly conniving at the massacres in
Asiatic Turkey and kwho can SO hedge
him about that he cannot effectively
uss such force as exists for the putting
down of the insurreotion. Lord Salisbury,
who of course is thoroughly informed of
the situation in Constantinople, evidently
places no reliance upon the Sultan's
promises whatever. and feels that reform
can only come through the direct inter-
position of the powers.
But how shall they interpose? They
could depose the Sultan of course, but
that would not improve the situation in
Asiatio Turkey, rather make it worse, gfor
even the feel restraint which he now
exercises woulu then be gone. When the
Sultan is torn down another government
must be set up and it must be backed by
suffic lent force to restore order or else
the empire must be parcelled out among
the powers. Russia could soon restore
order in Asatic Turkey if the Powers
would authorize her to undertake the Job.
Her troops are upon the border and in a
few Days they could take possession of
the country. But after her troops had
once marched III it would be very diff
cult to prevail pen them to march out.

THE SCHOOL HOUSES.

| 1t is quite evident that there is only
one way of calming the fears Of parents
concerning the condition of the school
houses, and that is by having the build
ins S examined by an expert and then
making what changes he suggests. We have
no doubt that great part OF the alarm Is
entirely unfounded, and that the children,
or many of them, who are taken out OF
school, will be exposed to more danger
than if allowed to remain there. But 1T
is of no use to reason or argue. The fear
exists and the only way to remove it is
to get the expert and follow his sugges-
tions The examination ought to take in
every school house in the city, and every
one of them should be put in as good con-
dition as the residents at the West End
demand for the Butler school house. Be-
cause there has not been so much disturb
ance in the Eastern END of the city is no
reason why their school houses should be
sighted Let every one of them be at
tended to without regard to location, in
fuence or cost.
1t is to be hoped that the concentration
of public attention upon the school
HOUSES will not lead people to overlook
other sources of disease germs and foul
air II sewer gas is dangerous in school
houses, it is more dangerous in dwelling
houses, for there the children are confined
many more hours and consequently In
hale more of it. If disease germs Turk in
the school house so do they in the private
dwelling and they have moro opportunl-
ties to get in their deadly work in the lat
ter than in the former All sources of
school houses are made perfect Let the
parent who is .agitated about the school
house get agitated also about his own
dwelling sufficiently to make an excur-
sion to the cellar and examine the
plumbing arrangements there. Let him
set the same high standard for his own
house that he demands shall be applied
to the school house. If he isn't an ex-
pert himself, let him call one, and fol-
low his suggestions just as he demands
they shall be followed in the case of the
school building. If the agitation proceeds
to this point it will do a great deal of
good, but if it stops with the school
house, if the parent concludes that his
children are safe simply because the
school building in which they spend five
or six hours day are perfectly plumbed,
it will have accomplished very little, for
it is undoubtedly true that the sanitary
condition of our school houses, even the
worst of them, is better than that of one
half of the dwelling houses in this town.

Senator Mcmillan says he shall give no
assistance or encouragement to the move
ment to abrogate the treaty with Eng
land relative to the building of war ships
on the Lakes. He thinks the treaty is
worth more to US than to England, and
that is likely to be the opinion of every
body who views the matter calmly. If
we put war vessels on the lakes England
will put some there too ard in case of
war there will be an English feet all
ready to threaten every one of our big
lake cities. Every one of these cities is
now protected by this treaty, for if war
broke out the United States could take

Mayor Curtis has been renOminated by
the Republicans of Boston without dis

been generally satisfactory to his political
foes as we'll as his political friends, and
if to deserve success is to command it he
will be the next Mayor of Boston. Of
course the city is Democratic on a
straight party vote, but it is in the habit
of ignoring to a large extent party lines

Man Believed to He II. l.. Day Arrested
at Washington Junction.

Washington Junction, near Point OF Rocks,
on the Metropolitan branch OF the Baiti-
more & Ohio railroad, informing him that
young man, twenty years of age, an
swering the description of R. L. Day, had
been captured there, as he was alighting
from q train.
Day is one of the young men who went
about Washington with H. K. Balch, repre-

Dartmouth College and Fleeing the alumni
of that institution, besides beating several
Of the hotels here.
Balch and Day are wanted here for pass
ing aforged check for 800 on David Curran,
a department clerk. The spurious paper
contained the forged signature of Hiram
Hitchcock, proprietor of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, who Balch falsely claims
as his guardian.
Detective Boyd will leave here on the
$50 train this morning to see the sus-
pected man. He will be accompanied by n
victim who will be able to identify either
Balch or the other fellow with the many
aliases. Numerous other cases will NO
doubt be worked up against the bogus
college "Chimmies.'
