MANS INHUMANlTY TO
MAN.

the human family is totally de-
PRAYED, utterly without human
sympathy and human feeling,
has been proved beyond ques.
ton during the last few months.
For weeks and months past
the Armenian butcheries has
been going on with the regular
ity of clock work. Town after
town has been ravaged with fire
and sword, and every thing liv-
ing that could not serve the lust
of the brutal soldiery, killed with
all the torture that human en-
geruity and human devils could
invent.
Civilized and human people
everywhere have gasped in hor
ror at these atrocities and asked
imploringly their respective gov
ernments if something could not
be done to stop these inhuman
butcheries. But no relief has
come so far. And Il few days
ago it was stated on the floor Of
the United States Senate that
the reason nothing was done
was, that Turkey is in debt to
wealthy English men, and that if
the government should inter-
fere with Turkey, the latter
might collapse and be unable to
pay her debt to said money
lords. This is undoubtedly the
true reason. Property, money,
must be respected, and the bru
tai murder of tens of thousands
of innocent peaceful people. and
the utter ruin of whole districts
of happy and prosperous com
mnAities. is nothing.
And this is an age. at leas t
claimed to be of civilization, of
morality, of christianity And
England claims to he the christ
ian nation par excellence. And
the German Kaiser pridcs him
self of his religion. and claims to
to be specially delegated to reign
by the Christian God. And ev-
cry royal sovereign potentate be
he big or little, claims his throne
by the grace Of God! And yet
they all stand still, awe-striclien,
paralized, dumbfounded, blind,
and deaf, at the bid Of LON bard
street and Baron de Rothchi!d.
Notwithstanding the lurid flames
of the Armenian homes light the
heavens, and the wall Of the out
ragged and dying victims sounds
the peal of Judgment day! The
Turk is a fanatical barbarian
bred and born to believe that
numbering a christian is q work
pleasing to his god, Allah. Ig-
norance and superstition has
superseded his human instincts.
He is more of crazed lunatic
than really responsible being.
His education and environment
has made him so. But whatexcus
shall we find for the christian
monarchs and christian people of
Europe? They cannot plead ig-
norance nor superstition. The
Armenian is their brother in
blood and in the faith. One word
from England, from Russia. or
from comb ined Europe would at
once stop the oOtrages.
But that word doesn't come be
cause Shylock is afraid lest he
should loose a shekel-and these
royal devils of Europe rules by
the grace of the god of Nam m on
and by no othe: God whatso-
ever.
But, alas, we have got our
Turk here in America asz we'll.
The nation that delights in bull
fights and raises Torquemedas,
Pizarros and Weylers are now en-
acting gcienes Of barbarity and
brutality that bid fair to cast
in the shades Armenian outrag-
es right on bur own shores and in
Dir doorway So as to speak. Now
the question Is, Will the Alneri.
