SATING ARMENlANS,
Humane Action Of COnsnis Has
placd Them in n prcdicau,cut.

London, Sept. S.-The Constantinople
re preventative of the United Associated
Presses. telegraphing under date Of
yesterday, says that during the recent
rioting in that city the consuls of the
various powers arranged that many
Armenians should go on board the diff
ferent ships in the harbor, where they
would be safe from massacre.
This humane action has resulted in
somewhat awkward predicament, as
the government now forbids the re-

conference of the ambassadors was
held today Monday) regarding the
course to be pursued regarding such
refugees and it was arranged to ap-
point a MIXED commission to take
charge Of the matter.

A Word
OF Exclamation.

Conditions with which we are all
more or less familiar have COM
pletely upset all the calculations OF
importers. There Is a widespread
craze for low-priced goods and deal
ers in fine, foreign made hosiery find
themselves generally loaded down
with big stocks and heavy obliga-
tiOns, and little cash to meet them.
Banks will no longer discount paper
readily, and when hard pinched fer
money there Is but one thing left
for the importer, and that is to find
q firm that has the ready cash to
help him out in exchange for goods
on the best terms he can make with
them.
These facts explain why we are
enabled to offer such extraordinary
values. for these are the conditions
under which we bought the goods.

IT LINGERs sUPERFLUOUS.

There are some Democrats whose
reverence for old forms is SO deeply
ingrained that they hesitate at making
any change, even if it is an admitted
Improvement. Some of these hope that
the antiquated and unfair rule, requir-
ing candidate to receive two-thirds OF
ali the votes in a National convention
before he can be declared the nominee,
will not be repealed at Chicago The
gold men see in the rule their only
hope, and those who contemplate bolt
ing regard it as the only excuse in sight
for party perfdy and party dishonor."
There may be some silver men who
hesitate to break down rule that has
been sanctioned by long usage, and
who believe it wisest not no dig it up by
the roots unless it becomes absolutely
necessary in order to nominate a silver
candidate.
The two-thirds rule ought to be abol
ished independent of any effect it may
have on any issue or any candidate,
because it is an agency for the eleya
ton of dark horses, and has been Often
used TO thwaIt the will of the major
ity. If we are not mistaken it was
first employed 30 defeat Mr. Van Buren,.
who was the choice of the majority of
the delegates. 1t has long ago been
discarded by all State and district con
ventions of the Democratic party, and
is not the rule of action in any other
National convection. In the recent
Democratic State platform is found the
declaration:
''We further instruct our dele
gates, State and district. to use all
their efforts to abrogate the two
thirds rude, if necessary to secure
the nomination Of a President in
complete, in hearty, and in known
accord with the principles herein
enunciated by u.s.
This resolution would have been
more expressive of our convictions If
it had contained only these words: I'VE
instruct our delegates TO use all their
efforts to abrogate the two-thirds
rule"-leaving off the If necessary" "
etc. Burt this is a long step towards
the abandonment of the rule which
is capable of being made an engine to
destroy the strongest candidate. Ii
was in vogue in the third Congressional
district of the State until recently, and
in several instances thwarted the will
of the majority. 1t is a bad rule and
fingers supeTfiuous on the stage LIS
repeal cannot too soon be secured. and
we say this without reference to any
issue or any candidate.

SILVER STRONGER IN MARYLA AND
Democratic Leaders See that Only in
that Sign Can They Conquer.

The spread of the silver feeling
among the Democrats in Maryland is
& constant topic of conversation
among politicians in Washington. 1t
is now claimed that if the convention
were yet to be held even Senator Cor
mans powerful influence could not
prevent a declaration favorable to the
white metal and the instruction of the
delegates to vote for free coinage at
IS to l. 1t is admitted however, that
a good deal of this feeling has been
oiled into life by the evident victory
silver is about to gain at Chicago. Most
of the politicians, especially of the
class that are for the party first and
principle afterward, now favor silver
because the party platform will do so,
without any personal convictions on
the subject at all. However, there
are men of a better stripe over in that
State who honestly favor the white
metal, vet who would have supported
the party nominees on a gold platform.
who now argue that the only chance
the party will have to carry the State
is to accept the Chicago platform and
nominees, and name men for electors
and other officers who are in sympathy
with the National declaration on that
subject Washington Post.
