sultan's Presnt To the Gear.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. q
Several Turks were arrested here
on Friday. 1t was charged that
they intended to make a demon
stration against the isultan when
he drove from the palace to the
Mosque to perform his usual Fri
day devotions. Among the prison.
ers are two clerks who are en-
ployed in the Ministry of War and
a clerk in the Ministry Of the In
terror. A military adjutant was
also arrested on the same charge.
The sultan has presented to the
car a magnificent pair of horses
and a quantity of the finest Turk
ish tobacco.
Gen. Arif Pasha, accompanied
by the third dragoman of the
Russian embassy, has gone to st.
Petersberg, where he will turn the
gifts over to the car. 1t is stated
that Arif Pasha is also entrusted
with a secret mission to the car.
1t is evident that this is much
commented upon.

Foolish Acts of the Turks.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Times
publishes a dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying that Ralf Pasha,
the head of the customs depart
ment, has been transferred to
Aleppo because of his refusal to
place at the disposal of the palace
the customs receipts set apart I'M
der special assignments. The
palaces financial acts during the
past six weeks have been strange
ly foolish. The streets of the city
were strewn with hand bills Fri
day night protesting against the
injustice of spending $4,000 for
gifts to the car, while the sultan's
servants are starving owing to the
non-payment Of their wages, which
are long overdue.
1t is reported that the insurgent
Armenians at Zeitoun have been
reinforced by Northumberland at
Gurun, and that they have taken
new positions of defense. Drago-
mans from the six embassies went
to the porte Saturday and offered
to negotiate with the insurgents to
bring about the capitalization Of
Zeitoun. The porte will give its
answers to the offer on Monday.

Big Wolf and Coyote Drive.

HENNEssEY, Okla, Jan. ga
big wolt-drive took place near the
Cherokee line, fifteen miles east Of
here, New Years day. One-half of
the township was driven, about $50
sportsmen taking part. Eighteen
coyotes and eve gray wolves
were killed. A number escaped by
one line d~isobeying the orders in
closing in too quickly. A cougar
was routed by the dogs, but es-
capped. Several cattle have been
mysteriously killed in that vicinity
this winner, and the presence Of the
cougar explained it, and a hunt

ILLEGITIMATE sCALPERS.
The Railway Passenger Agents to
Make War On Them.

Make War On Them.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3.-Among
the many questions that the local
passenger men will debate when
they meet in New Orleans early
this year, is the matter of ticket
"scalping." This is something that
can be described as the bane of the
average general passenger agents
life. Every road in the country
from time to time takes means to
grapple with the evil, but as far as
can be understood few, If any lines,
have succeeded in securing a
panacea for the evil. The
Southern Pacific, however, so the
States understands, are taking he
roic measures for the eradication
of the evil, and though differences
Of opinion are held as to the cor
rectness of the position that the
company assumes in the premises
there is this much to be said in
favor of their plans, that their sys-
tenn, whatever it is, works to the
complete satisfaction of the COM
pany officials, and reduces scalp.
ing to a minimum.
When the passenger men meet,
war will be inaugurated on the ir-
responsible ticket broker-he that
goes round like q %ravenouss, wolf,
seeking whom he may devour, and
who deals in Illicit stamps and
punches and dies and whose piece
de resistance Is acids and invisible
inks--these are the men upon
whom a relentless war will be
waged. Toe square ticket broker,
the man that does business in a
fair and above board manner, will
be treated with consideration and
metsphorically be made much of.
In connection with the above,
the following clipping from the
Railway Age indicates how the
Southern Pacific, in their var on
scalpers, have been supported by
recent judicial decisions:
"a San Francisco court has af-
firmed the principle that falsely
personating another person by at
tempting to ride on a ticket over
the Southern Pacific issued on that
persons name is a punishable
offense. An insurance man named
Collier bought at a scalping office a
return ticket to Chicago issued
to one William III. McPhee. He
was elected from the train after
riding about thirty miles, was ar
rested for false representations, and
after pleading guilty of misde-
meanor to which the judge
changed the charge, was fined
$40. The offender got off very
easily, but the finding will have a
very important effect in future"

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Daily
News publishes a dispatch from
Constantinople saying that the
house of the Protestant pastor at
Chumkush, near Diarkbekir, was
set on fire by Kurds, and that the
pastor was badly burned in trying
to make his escape. When he
reached the outside of his burning
house he was seized by Kurds, who
told him that he must make his
choice between accepting Islamism
and being killed. He chose death.

The result in West Virginia shows
the superiority of money and organ
ization over principle and poverty
under our system of elections. The
Republican majority is nearly 10000.
\ No one will pretend to say that that
majority represents the actual Re
publican strength in this State. On
the contrary it represents every
vote that money could buy, that
promises could debauch or that fear
of loss of employment could coerce.
The great corporations of the State
were solidly on one side, and the vote
shows the tremendous power they
exerted in behalf of the Republican
ticket. On the other side, there
was nothing but zeal and honest de-
votion to principle to cope with the
heavy odds pitted against the Demo
$ cratic ticket. The Democratic party
hadn't money enough to pay for the
STATIONERY used by the State Com
mittee. Under these circumstances
we made a losing fight from start to
finish. No blame can be attached to
any one. The ticket was as good as
could have been selected. The com
mittee was as active and faithful as
it could have been, the party as
loyal and devoted as ever in its his
tory; but we went down under the
combined assaults of the corpor-
%ations, unlimited Doodle and the
thorough organization which these
elements bring. But there is moth
ing in the result to discourage us.
The Democrat who was neither
coerced, cajoled or seduced from
his party allegiance this year, can al
ways be depended upon to stand by
his party ticket under all circum-
stances, while the thousands of
Democrats who voted with the op-
position to turn the State over 10
the Republicans will repent in sack
cloth and ashes before the next cleo
ton. The Republican administers
ton will be confronted by the Sc
rious dilemma of how to serve its
masters, the corporations, and yet
keep the laboring classes in liue.
The disappointments of various kinds
will be an element to be reckoned OF
in the next campaign, and altogether
there IS nothing in the situation tc
discourage Democrats or make then
feel respondent for the future. Lei
us, therefore, go to work to perfec'
our organization, close up our lines
and get ready for the next campaign
