ii all, London, this evening, under the.
chaIrmanship OF the Rt key. Edward
stuart Talbot, ID. D., Bishop OF Rochester
The nall was crowded to its fullest ca
pacity.
4 letter from Mr.. Gladstone was read.
in which The ex-prime minister teclareu
that II would be a wild paradox to sa ' that
the enforcement of British treaty rights
TO stop the systematic Inassacres in Tur-
key would provoke hOstilitics from tie
powers. He added that il would be atau-
don!ng duty and prudence to advertise
beforehand for the ea-s OF the great ASSASSIN
that British action was limited to what
the most backward OF the SIX powers
deemed sufficient.
II the fundamental! diStrust of Great
Britain, and the belief that she is pur-
suing selfish policy in tie Eastern
Mediterranean caused some OF the powers
to he backward, that was a matter that
deserved to be gTavcly considered.
MIR john CdrveIi Williams, ". p. day
or two ago. forwarded to Lord Salisbury
a resolution Adopted by the BaptIsts of
Great Britain, expressing regret at the
!i.action of the powers. and hope that the
government would speedily and fully cN-
plaIu its position in regard to Turkey.
To this Lord Salisbury has replied, say
ing that he is unable to speak freely of
the matter. Great Britain, he says, is not
taking any isolated acton IN CVlstan-
tinople, and it is therefore obvious that
there are objections to his speaking with
freedom upon the subject which would
not exist If Great Britain were acting inde-
rendently of the other European powers.

LAZY CONGRESSMEN.

Members Themselves Admit This Fact
What Senator Smith of New Jeraey
and Cong ress man Jenkins OF Wiscon-
DIN Have to Say of Their Colleagues.

Senator Smith Of New Jersey made
the statement that the best thing con-
gress can do is to adjourn and go home,
and our own Wisconsin Jenkins now
seconds the motion. Il am willing to 60
on record" he told d. B. Stark&;, the
Washington correspondent OF the Mil
waukee Evening Wisconsin, "as de-
claring that we would be doing the
country a service by adjourning. What
is the use of remaining in session? 1t
is impossible to do any financial legis-
lation; we can't amend the tariff laws
we can't do anything. The members
will not work; they don't know how to
work. A committee meeting is called
for 10 o'clock and nobody gets around
until II o'clock. There is an old men,
Der who prides himself OH getting to the
capitol every morning at 10 o'clock as
though that was a great feat. l came
down here to work and am ready To
work, but l can't do anything because
nobody else will. am in favor OF
passing all the appropriation bills i'm
mediately and adjourning."
That's the stuff.
Go home and attend to your private
business, We ignorant and vicious poll
ticians. 1t would be the best thing all
around for a lot Of lazy louis that
openly admit their inability to do any
thing while the people of the whole
country are suffering the agonies of de-
spair and crying for relief from the
horrible pressure of hard times.
