LORD SAL,snuns.n coNs.Ess,ox.

Despite the boastcd power and
strength of England, Lord Salisbury
made the humiliating confession i'm
his speech at the banquet OF the Non
Conformst Unonst Association in
London Friday night last that Great
Britain's arm was not long and strong
enough to protect the Armenians from
Turkish annihilation. In referring to
the Armenian troubles his Lordship
said:
If YOU ask why we have not Interior
ed, ] can only answer for England that
we could have threa tened what | may
call annoyarces in the Selling of GUS
toms here and there: but when YOU are
dealing with the rising of n whole ia
natical population against q population
with whom they have been at bitter en-
nifty for ages, ana who are situated in
mountains far removed from the sea-
YOU imagine that EnEland's arm. lcng
as /; is. could have done anything in
mitigation. Nothing but a military oc-
cupation could have done ii. and Eng
land does not possess the power fer
military occupation at that distance"
This was frank admission on the
part OF England's Premier, and since
that country is unable to force the Sui
tan TO inaugurate the reforms required
it is well that Lord Salisbury spoke
when he did, that some other power or
powers may undertake the work so
much needed

Speaking of the probability OF Ger
many adopting such measures as VIII
enforce its demands upon Venezuela for
the payment Of railroad claims. due Its
citizens, n Berlin dispatch says:
"a semi-oilictal statement has been
published warning President Crespo, OF
Venezuela. that he can not count upon
the help OF the United States to assist
him in Sinking his obligations suppos-
ing Germany takes measures TO enforce
the payment OF railroad claims. The
Monroe doctrine may, perhaps. be APP
piled 10 territorial questions. but can
not be invoked TO protect defaultinE
debtors a;yains, the claims OF the Euro
pcan States.
This is sensible view to take of the
matter The Monroe doctrine has moth
ing to do with anything of the kind, nor
does the United States pretend to up
hold the people of Venezuela or any
other country in the refusal to pay their
honest debts. If Venezuela owes Ger
man citizens money on railroad work
they should he paid. and that too with
out any clubbing.

WHAT CONGRESS- KNOWS.

Tho Savannah News undertakes to tell
what Congress knows about certain
things. hut IL 1t should undertake to
tell what ii does not know about things
in general The cotrast would be last
ing one. However,. our contemporary
very pcrtincntly says: Congress knows
precisely what Spain ought 10 do with

the Armcnians. Likewise. it's mind is
made up with regard to the manner in
which England should conduct the af-
fairs of her colonies 1t knows, too,
what Kruger, of Tie Transvaal Rcpub-
lie, ought to do about Jameson, Cecil
Rhodes and the rest OF them But Con
gress does not appear to know what 10
do for the relief of the Treasury of the

protected. The battery carried, which
admits Of concentrating Il heavy fire in
many directions. would make her most
formidable In action. She possesses
ample berthing space for the health and
comfort OF even n larger complement
OIL men than now carried, and has ia
ciiities for slowing stores and provi-
sions.'

fellows who are wont TO find fault with
every piece of government work exc.
cuted down this way will let UP on the
Texas matter.
