PERISH OR DICTATE.

1t Is the privilege, and should be the
pleasure of every individual American,
to feel just now the thrill of patriotism.
The Monroe doctrine is being carried
| to its extreme capacity. The reSolu-
ton of Senator Davis in the United
| States senate embodies, in fine, the
command that no European country
| shall acquire land on either of the
| American continents by arbitration,
purchase or treaty or by any manner
whatsoever, unless the United States
shall express its approval, and not un-
til the United States has been con-
suited.
This is dictatorial, and for that rea-
son probably best 1t informs the
people of every South American re-
public that their peculiar form of gov
ernment, while of their making, can
not be Of their destruction. 1t places
the United States on the throne of the
western continents, and it renders its
slightest wish, law.
1t means not only that the Anglo
Saxon republic shall endure, but that
so long as it endures, no politician or
political cabal or aspiring dictator on
the two continents can Overturn his
government and substitute monarchy
for it, because he could not do this
without European interference, and
the Monroe doctrine in it's new or
strengthened Interpretation prohibits
European interference.
No one doubts the perpetuity Of the
AnglO-SaxOn republic. Many have
doubted the long life of the South
American Latin self-government.
The Monroe doctrine, in the guise
in which the senate resolution puts it,
is an assumption that monarchy is
wrong; that the divine right of kings
is an error fortified by centuries of Gus
tom; that an ariStocracy is mistake
and a detriment to good government
This was the principal for which the
revolutionary fathers fought. 1t was
not the oppression Of a tax on tea that
fired their hearts TO the conviction OF
desired freedom, but the inherent be-
lief and assumption that monarchy
was wrong.
And so we will fight today If neces-
sary, not for the sake Of few square
miles Of territory in South America,
but because republican form of gov
ernment is the natural enemy of the
monarchy and will meet it as natural
foe and either dictate or perish.

BUT NOT THE ONLY WAY.

There was some talk a few days since
of two or three American warshipS be
ing sent to the vicinity of the Darda.
was going to demand at the hands OF
/ the sultan, some little talk, and that
/ was ALL As Representative Morse OF
J Massachusetts, set out in congress the
other day, the most mournful tragedy
| of the nineteenth century has been and
! is now being enacted, under the ap-
| parent sanction of the sultan of Tur-
| key. That is true. Hundreds and
thousands of Armenians are being
ruthlessly slaughtered in cold blood.
! Women are being outraged and others
driven into a captivity worse than
death. Thousands of men, women and
children have fed to the mountains,
where they are dying of cold and star
walton.
There seems but ont thing left for
the Christian world to do, and that is
to unite. It's little use to talk and
less use to send ships to COnstantinOple
in the absence of cooperation by Or
through an alliance Of the great pow
ers. The United States should, as the
foremost Christian nation, appeal to
the powers Of Europe to join her in
wiping the Turkish government from
the face Of the earth. 1t would in saw
ing the Armenians prove the best thing
for all the mixed races of that land.
Newspapers have talked and preachers
denounced, but vocal Indignation
doesn't scare the sultan a little bit.
There is but one sentiment in Amer
lea, and outside of political intrigue
and territorial jealousies Of the powers,
but one conviction in all the Christian
world, and that sentiment and con-
viction is for the wiping out of the
Turk.
Still the truth Of history Is, as the
present indications are, that the hope
of Armenia is in Russia, in the land
and government of a despOt. The
fact remains that for a full century
the successors of the woody Catharine
have been the champions, single
handed, of the Eastern Christians
against the MOSlem. What little re-
ligious liberty the Christians of the
East enjoy is at the hands of the rough
Russian bear. All western Europe has
persistently cried "hands off, when it
came TO Ottoman invasion or discipline
and the oppressed Of the MOslem have
been left to their fate. The Bourbons
and the Hapsburgs were and are in
different so long as no hated rival en-
larges his boundaries. The United
States did once chastise the pirates of
the Mediterranean when England,
France and Spain looked passively on.
The Crimean war was to the Russians
holy war;" in the interest of the
Christians Of southern Turkey and of
Palestine. OF course if Russia I'M
dertakes the relief of the Armenians,
she will add their territory to her own
unless England interfereS. In the
event of England getting into a war
with America, RuSsia's opportunity to
save the Christians of Armenia will
have come, for England will find her
hands full. Under Russian rule the
100000 Christians of Armenia would
not only be protected but permitted TO
worship in their own way. Russia
with her CoSsackS is the power 10 sub
due the Kurds and butchers of Tur-
key, and she Will do it and promptly
should England get into trouble with
either America or Germany.

LELAND-JOHNSON.

Very much has been said in the Kan
sas state press, of late, touching "a
fight to the DEATH" "a contest of glad
iatOrs," in which timfd politicians
would do well TO ''take the woods. y
or otherwise, if they would not be
ground to powder, to stand to one side
and witness the destructive work of a
| tornado and an earthquake combined,
and much like rot, all referring 10 a
movement TO displace Cy Leland, the
chairman, of the state central commit
tee, who is also a member of the eX-
ecutiTe board of the national Repub-
lican central committee. Originally,
we believe, it was determined that ex-
Governor Thomas A Osborn, of To-
peka. was to be chosen leader of the
combination TO down Leland. Later it
was given out that ]. b. Johnson, of
that city, was to give the home and
ing an Observant eye open, we have, in
quiet way, been trying to determine
the meaning of the battle array. For
a while we were inclined 10 think it a
scheme to do up Morrill, and his admin
istration. together with the Dick Wake
crowd, but such a fight could not be
logically expected from representative
Topeka men. Then, as Leland is
known as an outspoken Mckinley man,
we did not know but that it was a
Reed movement. But later we were
told that a majority of the men COM
posing. at least one Of the Kansas City
conferences, were for either Allison or
Ben Harrison. And so even unto this
day we are left in the dark as TO what
it is all about. Cy Leland is a live
energetic man, who won mis- spurs as a
boy, from a country town in the north
east corner Of the state. He conduct
ed the last state campaign for the Re
publican party, and won against odds.
Judge j. B. Johnson lives in Topeka,
and is in touch with the greater forces
of the state, and is recognized as a
power. If there is in this fight any
tiOns Of the principals and of their per-
sonaI friends, we have been unable to
figure it out. While it cannot be Nor
rill and anti-Morrill, upon the one hand,
it certainly is not Mckinley and anti
Mckinley upon the other, for Kansas
is, unquestiOnably for Mckinley first,
and its delegation to the national con-
ventiOn will no doubt so vote. But
whatever the animus, it would seem
that the Republican party of Kansas
is confronted with a sufficient number |
of distractions and open ruptures, with
out adding TO them, and for one we |
believe that the Republicans of the |
state should refuse being forced to line |
up either on one side or the other Of a |
fight which only involves the political /
fortunes and ambitions of a couple Of |
men.

How to Prevent Group.

Some reading that will prove interest
ing to young mothers. How to guard a.
gainst the disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object of
this item. The. origin of Group is COM
mon cold, Children who are subject to
it take cold very easily and Group is al
most sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by
a peculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse.
If Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. Fol-
