ARMENIA.

From the discussions in Congress
Monday on the Senate Armenian
resolutions appealing to the Powers
signatory to the Treaty of Berlin to
enforce the reforms in Turkey guar
an tteeaa 81 that treaty 80 the Chris
tian Armenians, it is manifest that
there is disposition in this country
to intermeddle ir the affairs OF
Europe. It was not contended that
any wrong or outrage had been COM
mitted upon an American citizen in
Armenia. but 4 was urged that
purely in behalf OF Christianity and
civilization the United States
should take upon itself the response

bility of correcting the wrongs
there-a responsibility solely resting
upon the Christian powers in Eu-
rope signatory to the Treaty OF
Berlin. 1t will be remembered that
Jefferson especially urged upon his
countrymen to keep out of entang-
ling alliances with foreign nations,
and especially not to intermeddle
with European affairs or allow any
European intermeddling with affairs
of our own. But according to the
logic of the modern jingos, the
United States should undertake to
right the wrongs of the world, and
force foreign nations to bow to our
bayonets aud cannons for sym
pathy's sweet sake alone. Carrying
the logic of these gentlemen further,
the United States should send her
gunboats to Constantinople and
force the compliance of the Porte to
the provisions of treaty to which
this government is not party
should wrest Ireland from England,
and either annex the Island or de
clare it an independent republic;
should force the freedom Of Cuba
from Spain, and declare u protector
ate over all South American coun-
tries and islands contiguous to this
hemisphere. This country must not
be content with holding the torch Of
liberty aloft and Offering an asylum
for the oppressed of all the world,
but Don Quixote like, we should
send our fleets and ironclads about
to force the concession of every
grievance and wrong, real or imagi
nary, that may transpire under the
burning sun.
How ridiculous, all of this?
OF course this nation sympathizes
with the Christian Armenians; so dc
we sympathize with the Cubans, the
Irish and the oppressed of Poland.
But if the United States government
were to undertake to right all the
wrongs of the world, how long would
this government endure? II we have
offered a home of liberty and free
dom of conscience to all, haven we
done quite enough? And if we were
to intermeddle in the affairs of the
old world, how long would it be be
fore this nation, too, would feel the
mailed foot of some foreign oppres-
sor and this proud nation pareeled
out and converted into European
colonies and dependencies. Indeed,
the United States will have quite
enough to do to attend to its own
affairs and keep Europe on standing
notice that it must keep hands off
of the American hemisphere.

TIELMANsS TRADE.

A more remarkable occurrence OF
disgusting scene never occurred in a
great parliamentary body than that
of last Wednesday afternoon when
Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, made
his maiden speech in the Senate of
the United States. In no other par
liamentary body in the world would
such scurrilous, if not reasonable
utterances, have been tolerated. 1t
is rather extraordinary that this
scurrilous demagogue should have
been permitted to open the flood
gates of blackguardism and allowed
to proceed without interruption.
He manifested an utter disregard
for the dignity of bis position and a
perfect contempt for his surround
ings. In denunciation of those who
entertain opinions different from his
own his language was violent and
unrestrained, and was SO disgusting
and supplementary that the mar
vel of it all is that dignified Sena-
tors aud the Vice Presidenn did not
call him down" In the many re-
markable episodes that have
occurred in the Senate, Senator Till
mans speech is unparalleled. In
the denunciation of the alien and Sc
dition laws of John Adams, the EN-
barge act of Thomas Jefferson, the
bank fight of President Jackson, or
the subsequent administration OF
President Tyler, or during the inn
parchment proceedings of President
Johnson, no Senator ever So far
transgresssed the proprieties of the
occasion and expressed himself with
the violence and extravaganza OF
language that Ben Tillman did on
this occasion. He referred to the
President as besotted tyrant, "
and to Secretary Carlisle as the
"Judas of the Treasury" The Gus
toms of the Senate were set at def
ance, the reading of speeches by

Senators animadverted upon; fea-
low Senators we're lampooned and
denounced as towards, and every
thing and anything savagely de-
nounced that did not accord with
his peculiar and Populistic views.
It was the exhibition of rufian
and the act of a barbarian. In a
ruthless and iconoclastic manner he
denounced everything sacred to the
American people. He acted the
part OF the buffoon, the rutfian and
the demagogue in turn. He was
tragic, melo dramatic and comic
He literally danced jig on the floor
of the Senate while picturing the
glee of Wall Street over the present
financial situation. He character
lied the Senate as the Temple of
Thieves. " Indeed, it was an exhibi-
ton OF low bred demagoguism that
would have been disgusting to the
most uncultured, unlettered and
vulgar audience.
Poor old South Carolina To such
complexion has she come that the
State once honored by Calhoun
Pickney, Hayne and Hampton, has
passed into the control of sucE
Yaunting and vulgar buffoons anC
demagogues as Tillman and Evans
who have brought disgrace to theil
names and dishonor upon th,
fair eseutcheon of their State How

lima The State once stood for states

But Tillman and Tillmanism hay

THE Bimetallic League of Little
Rock have resoluted not to support
any candidate for the National con-
vention or for State Office who is not
well-defined Is to | silver Demo
crat. This is all wrong, and the
time will come when the aforesaid
League will see the error of its way
There ought to be reason in all
things. We regard the resolutions
as not only untimely, but unreason-
able. More anon.
The above paragraph is from our
esteemed evening contemporary, the
Commercial, of yesterday. The Com
1aerciol, we believe, is free silver
paper, but it is not a silyernatic; in
other words, it is not free silver
lunatic. 1t believes in reason and
rhyme in everything, and there is
no logic, sense or reason in the res
olutions of the Little Rock Free Sill
yer Club. It is all very well for the
State Democracy to declare for free
silver, If the majority of the conven-
tion is for free silver, and, if this is
free silver State, as it is, it is well
to make silver an issue in the cleo
ton of Congressman and United
States Senators, but what have the
members of the Legislature, the
county officers and township consta-
bles and magistrates to do with the
silver question? They can exert no
more influence on National legisla-
ton than the man in the moon, and
if the silvernatics are determined
to read all out of the party who do
not concur in their extreme views,
they are inviting defeat at the COM
ing election. There is no reason or
excuse for Juggling the silver issue
into the campaign for county and
State officers. The Democratic
party stands for principles vastly
more important to the people than
the silver question, and there is
enough in common in the Demo
cratic platform for all Democrats to
stand on utterly regardless of the
silver issue. To create divisions
and discord in consequence of differ
ences on the financial question in
this State would be disastrous and
suicidal. When our party is divided,
both National and State, on the sill
yer question, it would be well for
the State candidates and the candi-
dates for the State Legislature to
address themselves to State issues
and reforms. If State candidates
would pay more attention to State
issues and less to National questions
the biennial sessions of our State
Legislature would be more fruitful
of beneficial and important results.
The trouble has heretofore been
that candidates for the Legislature
In their campaigns have addressed
themselves to National issues il
stead of State issues, and when they
have come to exercise the functions
of their offices, their knowledge of
needed State Legislation aud re-
forms has been woefully lacking.
This will largely account for the in
efficiency of our State Legislatures.
Therefore, what We need aud want
this year is an intelligent campaign
from Governor down solely directed
to State issues and much needed re-
forms. The National Democratic
will fully settle the
financial question on July 7, and in
the Meantime, it would be well for
Democrats not to get themselves so
Tar from their party that they can't
get back again.
