A STENCIL IN THE NosrRILs.

|. The people of'Alex andria are quite Fight
| in raising rumpus about the dumping OF
garbage from this city into the river OPP
poste their town, and charging the air
thereabouts with vile odors. 1t is not.;:g
short of an outrage and somebody ought TO
be brought to book for it, There has been
entirely too much of this sort of thing. II
this were the first time it had happened, the
dense ignorance of those Immediately cor
cerned would not I've strange; but after the
row that as made about the same offense
lastsummer. neither Gene raj Mana ger Bailey
nor the contractor whose business 1t is to
take the stuff down the river and see that
it is deposited on certain farms can plead
as a valid excuse that they have no idea
why or no it was done.
As samatter of course, everybody from the
Commissioners down is technical RESPONSE
Bile for the nuisance and for the injury in
flicted thereby upon the people OF our DciGiI-
bor city
Primarily, however, the blame falls upon
the contractor. 1t is his duty to select trust
worthy people to superinteud the removal
OF the garbage from the wharves in
this city, and its delivery on the farms or
other proper dumping grounds. There is
absolutely no excuse for dumping whole
scowloa ads, or even part thereof, into the
river aud thus not only poison the air the
people breathe, but poilute the water. The
4ractice is all the more objectionable be-
cause there can be no other reason for Il
than the laziness of the men in charge OF tie
scows. The matter calls for u rigid invest
cation by the Commissioners and for TIE
hauling over the Goals of somebody.
As matter of fact, this method of dis
posing of the garbage is contrary to law
and contract, although it is carried on with
the consent of the Commissioners. The
contract made by the District calls for
inCineration. The one furnace erected is
not sufficient to consume all the garbage
of the city. Another one is required, but
the Commissioners and the contractors also
are taking their own good tiIrc to select n
site The people OF the District are pay
ing big price for work whiChin soMecities
is done for nothing, and the worst OF it
is that the job is here performed with
inexcuSabic slovcnlincss.

NOT A PARTY QUESTION.

In a letter recently written by Lord
RoseScry. in which he strongly condemns
the massacres in COnstantinOple, lie says.
1T is far above party question, it is one
of common Chris tianity, humanity and
civilization The words are in strikir.y
contrast to the utterances of leading
German papeI-the Norddeutsche Zcitung-
which justifics the slaughter and puts it
in the light of punishment inflicted by
the Turkish government upon rebelious
subjects The condition of the Christian
population in the Turkish empire has reach
cd a stage in which no other tests can be
applied, nor any other considerations enter
than those that are in harmony with the
highest dictates of humanity and oiyiliza-
ton. Admitting that the Armenian revo-
Iutionary committee is doing great deal
OF mischief and is responsible for some Of The
disturbances that have taken place. there
can be no paliation for the monstrous in
humanity OF siauGhtering thousands OF un-
armed and inoffensive people, and making
the innocent suffer with the guilty.
The representatives of the Powers at Con-
stantnople are said to be discussing the ad
Visibility of depoing Sultan Abdul Hamid

tain order in his realm, aud TO instal in his
place his brother. who is said to be better

tenance OF order hereafter. The wholly
satisfactory solution of this Eastern ques-
ton, however, will not have teen reached
until Turkey is wiped from the map Of
Europe and divided among the powers
This consummation may not be reached,
perhaps. save through a war, but the end to
be gained would almost be worth even so
