Gar con clude for any reason that their
liberty should be taken away,-a conclu-
sion that he would be by no means IN
likely to arrive ut. There are many reas-
ons for believing that Russia has had a
hand in fomentin- the trou bles in Ar
nenia for the purpose OF creating an ex-
euse for occupying the country. There is
worry little doubt that the horrible atroci-
tics in Bulgaria which some years ago
shocked Europe were promoted by Rus
sian agents, though Russia did not in
that case reap the benefit Of the disturb
anoe which she hoped and expected. II
all that be sought is to stop the massacre
in Armenia no doubt the end can be
achieved more speedily by inviting
Russia to send her troops into the terri
tory than in any other way. But If the
liberty OF the Armenian Christians for
the future is to BIZ preserved it will be
very. unsafe to hand them over to the
keeping of Russia. The province will be
quiet under Russian rule, because her
strength is SO overwhelming that no mat
tor how thoroughly crushed were the
liberties of it's inhabitants it would
be of no avail to rebel. 1t
would lie the quiet Of dispair. The
people who are proposing as a remedy for
the condition at present existing in Ar
menia a permanent Russian occupation
forget the character of Russian despouism.

1t is no doubtEtrue that Russia could
very soon restore order in Armenia. She
las plenty of troops on the border and
once given permission by the powers she
would cross the boundary line and bring
the massacres to an end. But it is great
mistake to suppose that an occupation
by Russia would promote religious
liberty in Armenia. Liberty in the sense
it is understood in America, is little
known in the Cars dominion. The
Russian government is as thoroughly
despotio as any on the face of the globe.
The Gear, with perhaps some advice
from tho nobility, governs automatically.
His will is law and SO great is his mill
tary power that be can nforee obedience
to it all over his dominion. The civiliza-
ton of Russia is not the kind of civiliza-
ton that it is desirable to spread abroad
over the earth. Tyrannical as is
the rule of the Turk it is not
SO tyrannioai as the rule of the Gar The
Christians in Turkey enjoy more liberty
today than they would en- oy should
Turkey become a Russian province and the
