| Both of the Minnesota members of
| the American house Of lords voted for
increasing the bounty to the. robber sug-
ar trust. The people of Minnesota had
better stick pin in this portion Of their
senatorial records and keep it there for

Here's prediction. When young
Zschau the young st. Paul bank robber,
comes up for trial, no technical obJec-
tions to jury panels will lie sustained no
pertinent testimony will be crowded
OUT for fear of discriminating some part
ner in guilt, and the young man will go
where men, in higher positions of trust
than he held, should have been sent long
ago.
A few more deals, such as that inf1ic-
ted upon the people of Illinois by its
present Legislature in the adoption Of the
bills of the gas and street car companies,
will serve to bring the people to their
senses and to a recognition of the value
Of the referendum, The people should
be allowed to settle these matters for
themselves. AS long as the. chance is
given to small number of legislators
to sell the rights of the masses for mon

DR.. Lepsius of Berlin, after thorough
investigation, declares that the Turks
have destroyed $500 Armenian towns
with their inhabitants, and the people Of
282 towns were only spared on condi:
ton that they would accept Mohamne-
danism as their religion. Lecky, the
historian, ventures the assertion that the
massacers caused the death of two hum
dred thousand people, that they were
planned by the sultan and carried out
under his orders and that the sufferings
of the Armenians as people within the
past two years exceeded all that they
had endured for the previous 500 years.
IN Cuba, the outrages have been equally
cruel and barbarous, and yet se!f-styled
Christian civilization is content to shed
crocodile tears and do nothing.
Senator Teller was unquestionably
right when he said that Senator Sherman
as secretary of state would be a failure
because of his utter lack Of comprehen-
sion OF foreign affairs. Upon Cuban
matters, according to "a Washington
special, the secretary is never consulted.
In fact he is kept in almost total igno-
rance Of all diplomatic relations and
knows no more about the most impor.
tant state topic than does the average
newspaper correspondent. Mr.. Sherman
is said to feel his position keenly. He
has been informed that the administers
ton has relieved him Of the Cuban diplo-
matte work because of fear of over
taxing his strength, so he is forced to &C.
cept this assurance and simply resign
himself to the work of signing his name
to documents. We're it not that the adj
ministration wants to have Hanna re-
TUNED to the senate, the secretary would
be permitted to resign at once. But
Hanna must be protected.
Mr.. Vest in his tariff speech on Thurs
day said: Gas to the question of the eff
feet Of our action on sugar stock, there
may be doubt in the senate, but there is
one place where there is no doubt that
is, among the spectators IN Wall Street.
They know imme diately and instructive
