weeks past been much excited over the

that three shirts were found on Its

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK.
THE ARMENIAN MASSACRES-TERRI-
BILE CONDITIONS
PHILADELPHIA American

philadelphia American)
The Armenian situation grows daily
worse, and indeed is rapidly approaching
the point at which either the powers
must interfere vigorously, or Russia will
be forced to act by herself 1t is esti-
mated that twenty thousand Armenians
have been maSSacred since the announce
ment of the agreement by which the
powers agreed to do nothing worth do
ing. The belief is growing that these
massacres are planned and ordered by
the authorities at Stamboul 1t is GER
tain that the sultan's government makes
itself an accomplice after the fact, by
apologizlng for the massacres by the ly-
ing allegation that the Armenians. who
have no arms, began by attacking the
MOSlems. The purpose seems to be to
eXterminate or eXpatriate the Armen-
ianS.
Either they must fly across the Rus
sian frontier, leaving their homes and
possessions to the kurds and the Turks
or they must submit to massacre 1t is
we'll to remember that the car cannot
allow this to go on if he would. His
fathers hand was forced in 1879, when
the popular feeling throughout Russia
with regard to the Bulgarian massacreS
rose to an intensity beyond control Nor
has the czar any reason for holding back.
Turkish Armenia lies right in the way
OF Russian advance to Constantinople,
on what is now the shortest route. and
one which has no Roumania or Bulgaria
in the way. To secure Constantinople,
and to have Christian worship of the
Greek church celebrated in Santa Sophia
is the hereditary policy of the House of
ROmanoff. The goal was nearly reach
ed in 1879. when the Russian advance
was halted by English menace between
Adrianople and the capital. Unless the
European concert plays a livelier tune
than that of it's recent diplomacy, that
goal may be reached before Christmas,
and the festival of the Nativity may be
celebrated once again i'll Justinian's
Cathedral.
Meanwhile the weak]ing on whose will
the lives and happiness of millions de-
pend, is doing his feeble best to insure
his own position. He is drowning the
young fanatics at whose hands he fears
assassination, and is forbidding the pa
pers which repeat Lord Salisbury's
speech to his entire empire. So Moslem
dynasties always have ended in the
death tragedy of a slavish coward like
Bagdad Caliph whom the Turks of that
day sewed up in an ox's skin, and raced
their horses over him.

How often. in searching amid the ruins

the tracks of the false lawyer? For

Do we not find him with a legal defen Sc

man; with legal bubble over every
great franchise: with a legal gloZe for
every clear word Of freedom: with legal
pettifoggery against every establishment

Prohibition has for its aim the suppress

there are heavy sales Of liquor in the larger
places of the state. If the st. Albans' plan
would lessen the traffic by one days sales

dealers) and help along towards prohihi-
ton, the plan would seem worthy of con-

seems to lie in the fact that its adoption is
