Is the lack Of recognition by theUnited

beleaguered by the Spanish navy
assisted indirectly by United States
cruisers. Thos Cubans have swept
over the entire island like a burr,-
cane despite the presence of an army Of
trained Spanish soldiers much creator
than their own and under the leadership
OF the wisest general Spain could send
there. Spain is about to enter upon q
campaign Of determination and devasta

The Armenian Resolution.

The Armenian resolution went through
Congress without amendment, although
some of the amendments offered had
much to recommend them. or these was
the one offered in the House by Mr.. Taft.
to the effect that the resolution should
arraign the six powers who signed the
Berlin treaty, for allowing such slaughter
of Christians. Such an amendment
would not have made it any easier to
protect Americans in Turkey and might
seriously hinder the distribution Of relief
already on It's way to the stricken country
but it would have been just Those
powers are equally responsible with the
Sultan for the Armenian atrocities, for
they are bound to prevent thom and could
do so We're they actuated by duty 1t
would be well to have the archives OF the
American Congress contain record Oh
indignant protest against such crime Il
nations against humanity.
Not few felt with Senator Frye, thu t
while it might be unwise to take such
step mt this time, the United States, were
it not for restraining circumstances,
ought to say to Russia, take Armenia
and protect the Armenian Christians. y
1t is evident that Russia is the only
country that can do this successfully.
While it would almost seem like turning
those people from the protection of the
hyena to that Of the bear, they nevcrthe-
less would be better off than now, exposed
to the fanaticism and cruelty of the Kurd
and the legalized robbery of the Turkish
official. Americans should have no sym
pathy with the Russian system of govern
ment. 1t is adapted to a semi-barbaric
race but is an improvement upon NOLAN
medan rule in that it is less influenced by
fanatici7n. Is firm and applicable to all,
The circumstances indicate that Russia
has been instrumental in fomenting this
trouble in Armenia for her own political
purposes, that it has been fear of Russia
which has deferred England from per
forming her part of the task in Armenia.
But Russia is in position TO protect the
Armenians and the other powers are not.
unless permitted to do So by Russia her
self, and the pressing necessity is that
protection should bs had as soon as pos
sible. ANY proposition to overawe the
Sultan by a naval display ut CONSTANT
nople is silly. 1t has been tried and
ANONYMOUSLY failed. The report that
Lord Salisbury has asked President
Cleveland to cooperate with him is
scarcely to be credited. If such request
| has been made it is because England is in
| a quandary and wants to enlist the sup.
port of the United States in resisting
Russian aggression. 1t would be most
| idiotic performance on the part Of our
government to be made cats paw of in
such transparent manner. The time
may come. and Judging from Russia 5
extension of power in China and in Tur
key it Is likely to come, when the United
| States and England will be forced to Co
operate against slavic aggressions 1t is
not now, however, and our government

| nitude. Congress could hardly do less
than pass that resolution and it could

HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN, STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE. JAN. IS, 1896.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United states senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the proc edure. Under the law,
all Conv entiops are portion of our election
system and this ballot act requires that cam
didates to be vote for by the Vote rs through
out the whole state must be placed in nomlna-
tion by Convention representing no less 4
constituency than the whole state. Hence. all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

for license to be collected January would amount to about $25, 900.
 It was moved and adopted that the Electric Light company be paid $5,000 and the Water Works eQqpany $2t5OO
 Alderman Graham asked that the fno= tion be amended so as to pay the water works eonpany $2,600 which would cover two months, and an amount to cover four months for electric lights, which would be something less than S, ,000 The amend rment was accepted.
 ,.5s PETITIONS.
 -Cols. Walker and Weatherly were pres ent and asked to be heard relative to the license of $500 imposed on the Birming- ham Car Association. It was argued that the association is only the common agent for the various roads entering the city, holding the same position to the roads as depot agent or superintendent, and such license would be double tax.
 Alderman Mcknight moved that the car service be exempt from taxation.
 Alderman Altman moved as a substi- tute that the matter be referred to the miscellaneous committee for further in- vestigation. Substitute was lost and AL derman McI<night's motion prevailed.
 A petition was read from the wholesale dealers in beer asking that the license be reduced from $500 to $200.
 It was argued by MT. Loveman, repre- senting the wholesale dealers, that it was unjust to pay $500 for wholesaling whisky and $500 extra to wholesale beer; that heretofore beer had been included in the whisky license and is now included in the state and county license issued by the government. If the board singled out beer and imposed this extra license it will create an unjust monopoly. MT. Love- man said that while no extra license had heretofore been demanded for beer aside from the regular whisky license, his clients were perfectly willing to pay the $200, recognizing that the city is in need of revenue, and would make no kick on that amount. k
 Alderman McCartin moved that the matter be referred to the miscellaneous committee. Carried es
 A petition was read asking that the li- cense on the delivering of oil be reduced. Referred to miscellaneous committee.
 A petition for, "a reduction of license on money lenders was also referred to the miscellaneous committee.
 The board adjourned to meet this after noon at 4:30 o'clock in extra session.
