Ex-Minister Terrell of Texas, will be
lucky person if he shall escape the denun-
citation and the aspersion of those in this
country who have made themselves the foes
of the Turkish government because of his
article in the current issue of the Century,
respecting the Sultan. If he escapes, it will
be because these eager enemies Of the re-
cent 'tsicl1 man of Europe fail to read his
article. When General Wallace was so rash
as to say an appreciative word for the Sui
tan, two or three years ago, he was vehe-
menty assailed. He made no answer, but
to-day he insists that we do not understand
the situation in Turkey. Later, f. Hopkin-
son Smith was SO thoughtless as to give lis
impressions of the situation in Turkey after
visiting that country. He. was smitten hip
and thigh by those who hold that the Sui
tan is an abomination He essayed reply
and was fayed alive. He has since been
silent. Now, ex-Minister Terrell has Of
fered himself victim for similar treat
ment.
After what Rev. DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, Gen.
Wallace, f. Hopkinson Smith and ex-Min-
lister Terrell have said of the Sultan and his
regime is it not fair to express as much as
a doubt if they are as odious and cruel as
represented by those who appear as the
champions of the Armenians? VIII these
jealous defenders of the Armenians allow
one to doubt if they are all the children of
light? Many of them who have come to us
have not commended themselves to us for
their superiority. Is it not possible that Ar
menians have conspired against the rule of
tie Sultan and brought upon themselves
tie barbarities which have been reported?
Is it not possible that the outrages have
been grossly exaggerated? Not long ago a
man went about England denouncing the
lynching of negroes in this country. The
British press became indignant. and We
were represented to be a wicked and cruel
people because we did not put an end to
lynching. Doubtless some of those Awho
heard the lectures and read the British edi-
torials came to the conclusion that twenty
five thousand negroes were lynched in the
United States annually, instead OF about
five hundred, and that the wholesale muir
ders were due to the secret sympathy OF the
federal government with the cause of hem
A few years ago the many thousand ex-

A BROWNING Courtship.

The story that gives the title to this col
lection of tales by Eliza Orne White Is a
clever satire on the Browning club fad. The
confession of the young woman who pro-
fessed to love Browning, when in truth she
was greatly fatigued by him, probably ex-
presses the secret sentiments of many an
other who think 1t necessary, for literary
effect, to assume q devotional attitude
when speaking Of the poet. The other sto-
res in the volume might more properly be
called sketches. Viewed in this light they
are to be commended for the deftness or
execution but for the most part they depict
sad phases of life and are depressing in
effect Has New England life so little
cheerfulness that its writers cannot get out
of the gloom, or is the fault with them?

''Wanolasset," the title of a new story for
young people, by A. G. Plympton, is Indian
for The-little-one-who-la The story Is
one of the early days in the Massachusetts
Bay Colony when several of the Indian
tribes were waging war against the whites
killing the men when they could and cap
turing women and children Wanolasset
was the name given by the Indians TO
little white girl who was captured by them
and adopted into the family of one of their
chiefs. After life in the forest Of many
weeks she escaped by the aid Of her broth
er and friendly Indian and got back safe
ly to her people. The story is cast some
what on historical lines, and is an interest
ing picture of the everyday life of the
colonists at that early period. Boston: Rob-

The Next Census.
Philadelphia Press.

Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright
said in a recent interview in the Boston
Journal that, while he is not a candidate
for superintendent of the next census, he
fice IL the census bill now before Congress
is passed One of Mr.. Wrights chief
objections to the bill is that it does not
nut the selection of employees under the
ciyil-service law AS any one conversant
with the facts knows, the choice of en-
ployes in past census years has been made
on political grounds. This has resulted in
DELAYS and additional expense. Congress
ought by this time to see the folly of this
method of taking the census and of the
need OF reform. The present is a good
time for the change, and Congress should
not fail TO respond TO the demand of an
awakened public sentiment.

child is father of the man, yet one often
wonders what kind of boy this or that

was first published about ten years ago;
Since then Holmes, Lowell. Whittier ana
