Reeds reply to be would-be-con-
gressman-elect from the Indian Ter
ritory was brief, curt if not discour-
teOus, and to the point. The Indian
Territory is not recognized as one Of
the territories entitled to representa-
ton in congress by a delegate and
Reed took the matter as bluff. He
is the wrong kind Of man to run
that kind Of game upon, but those
who argue from this that all cleo
ton contests in the house are going
to be turned down without a hearing
had better wait until they hear the
evidence.

Sharkey's gang is either the great

trainers are true, for he as referee,
was sworn by every principle Of honor
to see perfectly fair play and prevent

Tennessee does well to introduce a

election frauds and punish them. She
has been euchred out of the legitim-

should not be out. There is no doubt
that Tennessee went Republican this

OLNEY is ALL RIGHT.

There is difference of opinion evil
IDENTIFY between the state department
and the American residents in Tur-
key as to the protection that the
American minister there and "Old
Glory have afforded American citi-
zens. There is every reason to con-
clude that the state department is
substantially correct. for it has not
the individual prejudices in the case
that the citizens who are said to be
agrieved have. Not only so, but the
dispatches have shown that the shad-
ow of the American consulate and
the American flag was the safest pro-
lection there was in Turkey during
the times of greatest disturbance. The
trouble is that Americans in Turkey,
some of them at least, have been of
ficiOus Intermediates in Turkish af-
fairs, as between the Turks and the
Armenians. The United States has
no more business to intervene there
than Turkey would have had in inter-
vening in the Indian troubles in this
country, for both are domestic affairs
concerning which it is an impertinence
for outsiders to NEEDLE. If the coun-
u
that matter, much less could private
citizens of this country who had a
residence there. The government Mt
Washington has enough to answer
for without being called to account in
a matter in which it has acted patriot
ically, promptly, efficiently and wise
ly. Americans in Turkey cannot pull
the tail feathers of that bird without
provoking something more than a
strut and a gobble, and when they
do it must be at their own risk. They
ought not to be allowed to run and
take refuge under the coat tails of
Uncle Sam. The Monroe doctrine
does not run that way, it does run in
the direction of Intervention in Gu
ban affairs, but not across the ocean
to regulate the domestic affairs of
Turkey. American citizens in Turkey
who mind their own business and do
not mix in this Armenian nonsense
are not going to be interfered with.
1t is time that there was a broad line
Of demarkation drawn between Amer
lean citizens in Turkey engaged in
trade and secular business, and those
who are there to stir up strife between
the rival religionists of that country.
The first are there attending to bust
ness, and it is the governments bust
ness to see that they are not modest
ed. The others are there on cru
SADIE that is outside of all government
II regulation and should be outside
If governmental protection and inter- |
ference. The United States is not |
n the missionary business. The pro-
lection of her citizens in every quar-
:er Of the globe is her duty, but only
when they are engaged in legitimate
business, that is business sanctioned
)y the laws and usages of the coun-
ries in which they temporarily reside.
When their sole business is of much |
| character as to necessarily create |
bitterness and engender strife, then !
t is in order for the United States to
order their departure, and in case Of |
'efusal to leave them to be dealt with |
Dy the governments whose peace are |
domestic concerns they interfere in.

case With an excess of thousand
emigrants a day for every day in the

number perpetually increasing, it is
evident that present or proposed leg

will exclude all immigration until
there is work enough in the United
