The people of Southeastern Arkansas have expressed themselves on the Ar menian question at a meeting recently held for that purpose at Hamburg. The expressions were extremely sensa- tional Rev. R. l. Broach (Methodist) declared that America must act in the interest of Christianity. Rev. J. Nj. Mosely (Presbyterian) expressed the belief that Armenia might prove the powder match to kindle an eclesas- tical war, the outcome of which would show whether Greek or Roman Cath ollie faith are the great principles of Professionalism. Rev. D. A. Smith (Bap- tist) scored President Cleveland. saying that he was so absorbed in monetary affairs that he could not think of suf- fering humanity, and that as the head of the nation he should have acted with vigor long ago. Ex-State Auditor Files, Rev John Thomas, Prof. Thomas Wheat and State Senator J. c. Wiz liamson also spoke. Wheat urged that America act single handed and send gun boats and bonn bard Constantinople.
 Resolutions were adopted and for warded to Congressman McRae for presentation to congress, asking that the government take immediate steps to stop Turkish massacre in Armenia

THERE is a newspaper discussion in progress in St. Louis over the question as to whether man attacked by foot pads should give up meekly or shoot the footpad, as did Mr. Atwater. re- gently, and paid for his temerity with his life. There is, however, one factor in the case that has been overlooked. 1t IS against the law in St. Louis to carry a weapon, and to fire a shot within the city limits is likely to land one in the calaboose. So there you are; the footpad has it all his own way.
