ABDUL HANUD,s ApoI,ocy

Kindly sympathy, extreme sadness
and great intellectual ability are the
essentials of a pen picture drawn by
Mr. Terrell and held up to the view Of
the American people. Few will recog-
nize in the likeness Abdul Hamid, the
sultan of Turkey. Intellectual ability
may be admitted For the sadness
there is abundant excuse But the
kindly sympathy can be reconciled
with the history of Europe only as the
art of the actor or the cunning of the
hypocrite. The massacre of thou
sands of defenseless people may be de-
nranded by reasons that commend
themselves to the keenest of minds
Sadness even may not stand in the
way when motives of state urge des-
perate action, but kindly sympathy
has no place in such a story of brutal
atrocity.
Mr.. Terrell's story, which is given to
the public by the Century is half de-
Tense and half apology. Authorized
by the sultan himself, it may be &C
copied as the best plea which the ORR
entail despot has to offer to win SYM
pathy from the American people
Neither the sultan nor Mr. Terrell, who
speaks for him, can believe that a
case has been made. The ex-minister
to Turkey declines explicitly to offer
an opinion as to the responsibility Of
the sultan for the blOodshed in Ar
menia, and the ruler himself excuses
rather than denies the things charged
against him. His plea is that in the
past as at the present time he has
shown favor to the Armenians in in
dividuaI cases, and that where there
has been persecution it has been aimed
at revolutionists and not at a religion.
AL! that is pleaded may be admitted,
and then all that is charged remains
undisputed. The massacres were COM
mitted. Revolutionary ideas are not
accepted by the civilized world as ex-
cuse for determination that extends to
the sick and the helpless, the women
and the children. Whether or not the
sultan ordered the wholesale murders
is not important. In a land where the
ruler is all powerful he must accept
That Abdul Hamid is a man of skill
in diplomacy; that he has graces of
manner and speech; that he is famiI-
lar with the modern languages; that
he plays the part of a king with skill
and dignity-all these are things
greatly to his credit. 1t is we'll for his
apologist to emphasize them, but they
make a poor showing compared with
the inhuman cruelty in which his rule
finds expression. They serve but little
better in his defense than the implied
threat which rounds out his MESA sc
to America The sick man of Europe
brought to bay, Mr.. Terrell concludes,
may prove a lively invalid. This is
doubtless true, If the time ever comes
when the mantle of the prophet is
flung to the winds and holy war is
declared, Europe will confront crisis.
But of the issue there can be no
doubt. Civilization. when the neces-
sity arises, can find means to deal
with Abdul Hamid, the slayer of help
less Armenians. or Abdul Hamid, the
warrior at the head of all the count
less millions who boast of their fatal
ism Selfish interests and mutual dis
trust on the part of the powers OF
Europe, so far, have served the sultan
well, but they will not always save his
bloody rule.

adopted the Albrecht resolution direct
ing the street railway company to pave
with asphalt between it's tracks on
Third and Fourth streets, and to be-

service of the resolution upon it. The
resolution was adopted Oct 20, was
served on the general superintendent
on the 18th, and the ten days expired
Nov. /. During all this time no one
has discovered any signs that there
was anywhere even a beginning of this
work. The cars have pursued their
regular schedule trips, workmen have
been at work putting in fresh braces
and preparing the route for winters

SIMPLY ORDINARY LAW BREAK.
ERS.

SiHus Spreckles, son Of the California
sugar King, declares that Mr.. Have
meyer and Mr.. Searlcs are simply law
breakers, and is Of the opinion That they
should be treated the same as any other
person who violates the law but 1t seems
impossible to do SO. He declares that
they own the Senate, and that nothing
can be done which will reach them.
I0lfs Is a sad commentary upon the
country's representatives. bur Mr..
Spreckles claims to know what he Is
talking about Continuing his refer
ences to the trust, NIessrs. Hayemeyer
and Searles, and the attitude OF The
Senate, he says:

management some time ago. and one

posed sugar schedule Of the tariff
bill which think will test the sin
certify of the Senators protest that
the bill Is intended for revenue only.
or late the Sugar Trust has been
importing raw sugar from all over
the world. BY investiga ton ItfOuntl
that the trust has between 100000
and zoe, 600 tons OF raw sugar in,
storage. This has paid the present
duty. AS proposed now, the higher
tariff would give the trust between
SIG and S1S ton profit. amounting
TO sl0,000O0O or $12, 100000 In ALL No
more sugar crops can be produced
in the world before January l next.
The trust has the monopoly. Now,
II the Senators mean this for O. reve-
nue. bill only, they should impose an
internal revenue tax upon all sugar
refined between now and January l.
1898. Then this bonus Of SIG or SIS q:
ton would go into the United States
Treasury instead Of into the hands Of
the Sugar Trust"
Should the tax on sugar become q. law.
rs no doubt it will, the people will be
required to pay saO,o0o,0Oo tax on the
sugar they consume. And what is worse
about it Is, that the amount does not
go into the National Treasury-the trust
gets S2O,00000 Of the amount and the
Treasury $4,000. 600 The country will
be permitted to stand by and see the
robbery go on without any redress what
ever. Now, in view Of the facts, if what
Mr.. Spreckles says is true, that Have
meyer and Searles are law breakers be-
cause they receive the stolen goods, why
are not the Senators who help on the
scheme equally guilty? AS Mr. Sprcck-
les asserts, It is a great public question.
But what can be done? It's enough to
fill the tax payers with bitterness and
make them doubt the good faith and
honor Of the men whom they selected TO
make their laws--iaws which should
protect, not rob them.

CHARGES
Atlh1NSr SOUTHERN
SENATOR'S.

The Springfield Gnd.l Republican IS

Southern Democratic Senators-sup-
posed TO be the four from Georgia and
South Carollna-are said to have agreed
for a consideration the duty on cotton
for one thing) to be absent from the
chamber without pairs on the day the
final vote is taken OH the tariff bill. This
reduces the opposition materially, and
makes 1t less necessary for the Repub-
licans to heed the dctations Of the far
Western silver independents Some Of
the Aldrich bargains consequently will
not need to be adhered to, and there Is
n probability that the bill will pass the
Senate much more nearly like the House
bill than when 1t came from the Fiancc
Committee"
This Is shameful if true. But why
should the Senators referred to be alb
sent from their chairs, assuming that
what the Springfield Republican asserts
is correct. Why don't they act like
men. Their ofense Is none the less
great If they absent themselves and
thereby permit the tariff in its obnoxious
shape to become 4 law. than If they re-
manned in their seats and voted for 1t
