1t has been commented upon as some
what strange that in the year of mas
sacre in Armenia no man Of that coun-
try has risen to the stature Of hero,
gathered around him band Of his
countrymen and, if nothing better, died
fighting. There is much to account for
the submissiveness Of the Armenians,
and if their men have given no con-
spicuous evidence of valor, the Ar
menian women have afforded ample
proof of heroism. On several occasions,
when resistance was hopeless and
when confronted by the alternative Of
Islam and worse or death, they have
welcomed the latter by throwing them
selves from lofty rocks or into rivers.
There have been and there are heroines
among the Armenian women.

The New Sugar Scandal.

Is the country to be afflicted with
second sugar scandal? Are the senators
from Havemeyer'' ex-officio members Of
the finance committee, and are they to
be permitted to dictate the important
sugar chedule?-Chicago Evening Post
Gnd. Rep.
The senate committees bill, whether
trust a great advantage should it be-
come law For that reason the country
is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar
schedule, and if the senate will heed
the voice of the people that schedule
will not be embraced i1 the new tariff.
Indianapolis Journal (Rep.).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since its
report, instead of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
guise a job, but, intricate as it is, it
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces a very large differontial for the
benefit Of the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with t.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three MEM
bers Of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and profted $50, 900
by the transaction, is altogether too seri-
Gus to be treated by the senate with
contempt or Indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the Sugar trust have exerted
in the framing of the new sugar sched
ule has already created suspicious as to
the integrity Of the trainers Of the bill.
If the charge against the alleged specu-
lators shall not be investigated, it will
serve to strengthen, if not confirm,
this suspicion. Philadelphia Bulletin
(Rep.).

Political Notes.

The new Senator from Ketnucky
says he doesn't know anything about
the tariff question. Well. the sugar
trust can teach him all he needs to
learn about it in half an hour.-Mem-
phis Commercial-Appeal.
1t makes a difference whose OK is
gored. The partisan papers which
could not restrain their Indignation
when President Cleveland sent Com
missioner Blount to Hawaii to learn
the exact situation have nothing to say
regarding the presence of Mr. Calhoun
in Cuba. as President Mckinley's per-
sonal representative.-Des Moines
Leader.
Russia wants more armOr plate from
the Carnegie trust. and will probably
be able to get it at the old price Of SOD
per ton The Gar has most favored

made money by it. AS buyer of

in Uncle Sans pocket to go to Europe
and be naturaliZed.-San Francisco
Why waste time on tariffs and rev
enue, currency, commerce and such
like trifies, when the galleries can be
stirred by speeches about Cuba? Con-
gress has not done one thing for the
United States. but it has passed some
ineffective resolutions on foreign af-
fairs. and if that will not bring prosper
ity. why prosperity will have to wait

Solon made law forbidding men to
speak evil of the dead, for it is pious to
think the deceased sacred, and just,
not to meddle with those that are gone,
and polite to prevent the perpetuity Of
discord. He likewise forbade them to
speak evil in the temples, in courts Of
justice, the public Offices, or at the
games, or else to pay three drachmas
to the person and two to the public.
For never to be able to control passion
shows a weak nature and ill-breeding;
and always to moderate it is very
hard, and to some impossible. And
laws must look to possibilities If the
maker designs to punish few in order
to their amendment, and not man. to
no purpose.

Six and HaIf a Dozen.

If the whole truth and not part of

A sailorman or marine who comes
aboard his ship drunk is let alone if he
minds his business, goes forward, and
goes to sleep. The quiet man will prob
ably receive no further punishment
than to have his liberty restricted for
g. time But if he announces as soon
as he gets to the top of the gangway
ladder that he is able, willing, and
even eager to massacre and to do up
all hands on the ship, he Immediately
finds himself in a peck Of trouble. No
where can a man who is hunting for
fight find it so quickly as on the spar
deck of a man-of-war. Marines, who
have no manual work to do on ship,
like an occasional stint of violent ex-
ercise, and they gloat over chance
like this. The drunken sailorman is
man-handled with swiftness that
makes his head swim, although be will
often stay with the game until he has
knocked out the whole first attacking
party Of marines A few welts over the
head with the shank Of a bayonet do
the work for him, however, and he is
carried, bowling and struggling, to the
brig, up in the eyes of the ship on the
berth deck If he is particularly vic.
lent he is chained to a stanchion.

1t would be we'll for the publc ro
keep cool about Cuba and commit some
useful data concerning the island to
memory. The greatest length of Cuba
from east to west is 760 miles, and it's
greatest width is 135 miles, Its area,
including dependencies, is only little
less than that Of England. Cuba had
in 1894 1851 ,696 inhabitants, 65 per
cent of whom were white The cap
ital must have a population of more
than 100000, since ten years ago it's
Inhabitants were estimated at 19S, 900.
1t is powerfully fortified city. Next
in population to Havana comes San
tiago de Cuba, with more than 10000.
Puerto Principle has nearly $4,000.
Here is a country which would afford
scope for many campaigns to an army
better organized and led than that Of
Spain, more especially as the island has
a mountain chain which affords innu-
merable Businesses for guerrilla bands.
These facts and figures should be borne
in mind by those who wonder at the
duration of the war and the tremendous
exertions Spain is making to get at
close quarters with the elusive insur-
gents, who know far too much to risk
a pitched battle in the open. Each side,
has a literary bureau that manufac-
lures fakes in quantities to answer the
demand for news from Cuba. AS
matter of fact, it is difficult and dan
oarnI1S for huSinasS men in this GONNA
try, with interests in Cuba, to learn the
state Of affairs otherwise than by word
of mouth from somebody recently from
the scene of action, the censorship of
the Spaniards making it perilous to in
trust to the mail anything relating to
the operations in the field unless it be
Aulogistic of the Spanish side.

SAYS IT WILL HELP FARMERS.
New York Man Has an Original FL
nancia1 Plan.

New 1Ork Man Has an original FL
nancia1 Plan.
Mr.. John r. Dos Passos Of New York
will ask Congress to give its sanction to
plan which, he thinks, will put an end to
the discomfort in the agricultural regions
of the South and West. He intends to
secure the introduction of bill charter
ing the Loan and Mortgage Company of
the United States, modelled after the
Credit Foncier of France and similar in
stitutions which have been tried with sue
cess in other European countries. Mr.. Dos
Passos, after three months of work, has
just completed the measure containing the
charter.
Mr.. Dos Passos explained that the pur-
pose of the company was to enable farm
ers to borrow money at low rates of in
terest. 1t Is proposed to establish the
company under a special capital of $780,
100000, in shares of $40 each. II posi-
bic, the whole amount will be sold in such
a manner that no one person shall hold
more than $1,000. The Government
shall have the right to appoint it's presi-
dent and two directors and an auditor,
who shall make monthly reports.
The company VIII be authorized to make
AOoHo OA AlhpAOFtO IGd4 6SldLc duu
cultural staples, not exceeding fifty per
cent Of the value, determined by apprais-
ers, for terms not exceeding fifteen years,
repayable in full at the end Of that time, or
for periods of from fifteen to seyenty-five
years, repayable in quarterly payments,
including principal and interest. The
rate of interest on long term loans will
be $50 per cent, which viii wipe out the
debt at maturity in the case of seventy
five year loans. The actual interest pay
ment is 4.65 per cent.
The company shall have power to issue
$4,000, 100000 in 3.G5 per cent bonds, in
denominations as low as SO. These may
be issued to borrowers in lieu Of money,
and are expected to circulate ~; freely as
money. a reserve fund of S25.OOOOOO
shall be retained. The company shall
have power to do a general banking and
trust business, to own and operate ware
houses and grain elevators. Mr. Dos Pas
SOS thinks that the effect of these powers
would be to supply needed currency, en-
hance and fix values and encourage thrift.

When it lacks enterprise and fails to

simpy because its editor has written
his own sincere views instead of yours

'SThe Rock" which is the organ Of
the ultra Low Church party in the
English Church, cordially agrees with
the Pope's decision against the validity
Of American orders. 1t says that, as a
matter Of fact, the English Church at
the Reformation did reject the sacerdo-
tai idea of orders which is taught in
the Roman Catholic Church. This
would indicate that the Low Church
men in the English Church intend to
use tss Pope's decision as an excuse for
breaking away more completely than
ever before from the traditions Of
Roman Catholicism. If so, a. renewal
