Nothing could be gained by converting
the United states into q camp Of NAL

Liquor Licenses for River Boats.

The decision OF Judge Miller that the bars
on our river boats must be licensed. " i'll
put an end to q part OF the deviltry the y
create. because. in the future. they must be
conducted according to license regulations.
The Worst feature Of these promoters OF
crime is the sale ofliquor to minors. Those
in the habit of patronizing certain river
excursions have had ample opportunity to
witness the bestiaiizipg effect of strong
drink on boys Nor has the indiscreet use
of liquor been entirely restricted to them
for many girls have also been seen under its
influence.
There can be no more delightful pastime
than trip in pleasant weather down the
Potomac, but one Of its disadvantages
has been the indiscrinIinate sale of liquor
to minors and togGtiS. whose disorderly
conduct did much to mar the pleasure.
License the bars andpu them i'll the hands
OF responsible men. and travel on our river
boats will increase during the excursion

monometaiiism. Thcy-1nay demand the
free use of gold and silver as money
but they do not require the support of a

Labor leaders who represent the con

character of the alleged bimetallism OF
the silver party.
At no time in history has gold and silver

Evidence of Mobocratic Rule.

throughout the country should awaken SER
Gus apprehension in the minds Of well-inean-
ing people.
Tie eggng of Secretary Carlisle at his

Mr.. Bryan means mObocracy administra-

Ton hotels takes at this season. provided the

apparently expert eXegesis of Political

others report wing talked with a dozen or
more prominent political leaders at some
time during the past month. and therefore
look for special consideration for their ut

the brightest commercial men whom the
Lounser has met in a long time laughed
careless apo'ac-" last nigh as he stood in
the lobby "a one OF the up-,oy. hotels,
where he had been talking politics, as he
said, for nearly two hours. He was IN

There is just one saving thing about the
hard times which a Democratic admins

said, land that is that the drummers have

GLADSTONE,
ENGLAND
AND
TURKEY.

| tie ArmenianS. the British governments
shll y-shallying policy with reference there
to, and Gladstone's fierce condemnation
of both, which expressed the sentiment of
the Liberal party and Gf considerable
! portion of the Conservatives are the causes
| for the call made upon Ensland'S Grand
| Old Man to re-enter parliament. II IS ret
probable that Gladstone would consent to
| become an activc leader in lis party, for
that would involve Il strain upon his vi
tality which he probably could not. and
! should not, be called upon 10 satisfy, hut
even his presence al the head Of the Liberals
wouldlend to the reassemAing of Parliament
a picturesque ard historical aspect that
otherwise might not attach to it.
The call for Mr.. Gladstone comes from his
old Midlothian constituents, and the mc,n-
Der now representing them i'll Parliament
has signified his readiness to resign and
afford the opportu unity for Mr.. Gladst"ne'S
election but IT is doubtful If he will yield
to the summons lie * fully aiIv. &" thr iIt-
flrmities of cid age, and understands him
self too well not to know that his tempcra-
ment and his great interest in the Turk
ish question would not permit him to sit
quietly by while the strife OF debate was
going on around him The few years which
in the natural course Of things may still
be allotted to him would toe in danger of
being cut short by intense mental excite
mcnt or too great physical eNcrtion. 1t is
likely, therefore, that Mrs. Gladstone, who
watches so tenderly and carefully over him,
and others near and dear to him will insist
and prevail upon him to watch the battle
from afar and not himself become an actor
in it.
Meanwhile there come reports of fresh
outrages in Armenia, but at the same time
of an agreement said to have been CON
cluded by Great Britain, Russia and France
for joint action. 1t is to he hoped that this
may not come too late, for from the savage
ness OF this latest outburst of Turkish bar
barsm it is to lie feared that there will
be no Armenians whom to succor, if help
is yed much longer.
