by the great nations of the world at the
sacrifice Of thousands Of people whose
one Offense was Christianity.
How long the European nations will
dilly-dally with the Sultan before some
strong remedial action is taken, no one
may tell. but the conditions by which
amity between the Sultan and the pow
ers is now maintained is such that the
slightest disruption would lead to gen
eral erasnre of all states and pitched
battle.
There is no doubt but that the Sultan
is guilty of a direct and personal direc-
ton Of the numerous massacres OF Ar
mel.ians. All the powers agree alike to
this. But ali the European nations fear
to punish the Turkish ruler.
This is cowardice. 1t must appear TO
those Armenians who have accepted
Christianity that Christianity. while
great in love, certainly lacks courage.
So long as fear dominates the Euro
pean nations just so long will the prom
ises of reform given so gracefully by
the Sultan be mere empty vessels to de-
ceive.
But massacre is a thing that does not
go on forever, and it does not often stop
because the brute in the oriental nature
is satiated. There must be reprimand
sooner or later for the murder OF the
Arruepians just as surely as there must
be sooner or later general European
war; 1t is not unlikely that the Euro
pean war and the reprinand of the Sui
tan will be simultaneous.

THE 8 ANITA FE'S TROUBLE.

There is still much mystery about the
real motives in the 0skalooSa receiver
ship of the Santa Fe. Under the alien
owner act of Kansas, passed by the
Populist legislature of 1891, a lawyer
for an Illinois client apparently sought
the collection of a judgment of $4,000
rendered by an Illinois court. The rail-
road attorneys offered to pay that sum
and $500 in addition as attorneys fee.
When this was refused the trouble be-
came serious and numerous complica-
tons followed and are stlll arising. Ii
WAS first discovered by Judge Horton
as an attorney for the railroad that the
act was not properly passed by the leg
islature. and was thus invalid. The bin
did not at first include railroad owner
ship, but an amendment including them
was offered and adopted by the legisla-
tore. Judge Horizons point was that
the bin had lot been passed by an aye
and nay vote.
After the first brush a story withou,
authority was sent out that the request
for a receiver was for the purpose of
making pile on the stock market. This
story has never been corrohorated by
any one in authority. The first receiver
appointed by Judge Myers at Oskaloosa
refusing 10 qualify. another John Mar
TIM has been appointed
Judge Myers order appointing John
Martin receiver also enjoins The railway
company from bringing any action
against him in any other than the Jed-
erson comfy court. over which Judge
Myers presides.
