II the truth could be known, we have
pean power that has really blocked the
way to interference in Armenia is Rus
STA, the very power it is proposed by
some that the United States should ap-
peal to especially to stop the massacres.
The concert of the Powers, which was
all that was wanting to put stop to
them long ago, has been prevented with
out much question more by the great
northern power than by any other ma
tion in Europe. Russia would, no doubt,
be willing to stop the massacres if per-
mitted to do it in her own way, and to
appropriate the territory afterwards, but
an armed interference conjointy with
other powers, is not to her liking. simply
because it will not accomplish the end
she is aiming at, and always has been
aiming at, namely, the extinction OF the
Turkish empire and the appropriation of
it or tine most valuable portion OF it by
herself. Whenever the Powers have made
a demand upon the Porte for the enforce
mont of the promised reforms, Russia
has secretly encouraged it to resist She
has not wanted the agitation quieted.
simply bceanse while it continued, some
thing was liable to happen, to give her a
good excuse and a favorable opportunity
for throwing her troops into the Turkish
empire and settling things in her own
way, which we may be sure, would be
an entirely selfish way and would take
little acoounnt of the welfare of the Ar
menians. II she had cared a straw
about the fate of the Armenian Christ
ians, she could have arranged long ago
plan OF interference that would have
been assented to by all the Powers, and
would have stopped the massaores as
effeouually as lnterfer, alone, but it
would not have promoted Russia's policy
as we'll. Appealing, in the name OF hui
nanity, to despotism which sends hun
dreds and thousands Of its own citizens
eyerya year, without any process Of law
whatever, to the mines of Siberia, be-
cause the secret service of the empire re-
CARDS them as dangeorus to the autoc-
racy of the Gar, is addressing it in an
unknown tongue Humanity is some
thing that Russia knows or cares little
about.

The story that the President has san c.
toned a scheme of currency reform, the
features OF which are an issue of bonds to
redeem and retire the greenbacks, dec
laration by Congress that all bonds of
whatever issue are ppyabls in gold, and
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
is doubtless falsehood, ana not a very
Iausible falsehood either. The Presi-
dent has always been opposed to the
free coinage OF silver on any condition,
and bill to coin even the seignorage
encountered his veto. Tt is vastly i'm
probable that he has changed his mind.
But this scheme has other objections be-
sides the free coinage feature. 1t dis
eliminates in favor of the bond holder by
giving him gold, while other people have
to be content with deprecated silver.
Such discrimination would raise a
storm of protest, protest, too, founded
on the best of reasons, for it would work
Obvious injustice.
