Bow Ohangeable.

Not long ago, when the Turks were
butcherlng the poor Armenians by the
hundreds, and committing many other
outrages, the whole world tried to
make believe that they were in SYM
pathy with the latter and that they
were itching for chance to repay
Turkey for their atrocious acts. But
now when Greece wants to take the
whole worlds battle all alone, the
unsatisfed old world is afraid little
Greece might gain few feet of terri
tory, so she stands with her face to
the wall and says: "You must let
Turkey alone" There is no country
under the sun that needs good sound
thrashing worse than Turkey, and If
this can be accomplished by Greece
everything will run great deal
smoother.

Unwise Federal Economy.

The House Naval Committee has
certainly put its foot down with
vengeance upon the Federal policy of
the upbuilding of the new navy. Sec
retary Herbert's recommendation to
Congress was that three new battle
shiDs should be added to the Federal
fleet. Such an addition would, if
adopted, increase the number of that
class of men-ofwar to fourteen. But
the exceedingly economic House COM
mittee confines its generosity to the
recommendation OF one solitary new
battleship. The provision for one
composite sailing vessel for use at the
Naval Academy has been rendered
unavoidable by the dispatch of the
Bancroft to Oriental waters. Captain
Mahan's book on The Sea Power
in History" ought to be read aloud
to these committeeman in extra
session.
Not only is the navy still in need of
steady battleship policy, but the
peculiar feature of the proposed three
new battleships was to have been their
extreme deep load draught Of only
% feet. AS the President of the War
College at Newport has reported, "the
close study of the Gulf Of Mexico
which has been carried on by the
Navy Departments orders shows it to
be essential to the success of defen-
s.ge naval campaigns that the United
States shall be able to use for our
hghting ships those harbors which
Nature has provided. Although pos
sessing bases or fleets in that region,
the fact that there is not enough
depth of water for our fighting ships
to enter them will render them of but
slight benefit to US" Consideration
of strategy would seem to urge the
building of several battleships fitted
for Gulf warfare. e.--Reeoyd

FAILURE FASTENED HIS Death.
Banker Anthony S. Morrow, Of Holidays
burg, Expires.

Greatly depressed by the recent
failure for $4,000 of the banking
firms in which he was partner Gard
ner, Morrow & Co., the Martinsburg
Deposit Bank and the Williamsburg
Bank, Anthony S. Morrow, president
of the defunct bank, died of paralysis
at his HolIidaysburg home Thursday
night. He was "a years old and was
one Of the projectors OF the Cresson,
Coalport & New York Short Route
Railroad, and was identified with the
Juniata Canister Company and Other
industrial plants. He served for three
successive terms as Prothonotary o
Blair County, and was one of the
best-known citizens Of that place. He
leaves a widow, but no children.

HIS CHIEF PURPOSE.

Hanna feels rather exuberant since
his appointment to fill the unexpired
term of Sherman and has announced
his intentions as senator. He says
" AS far as my policy goes it will be
to aid the Mckinley administration
and, in particular, to assist in framing
a. once tariff bill which will seek to
restore confidence to the country and
give a stimulus to our industries.
That is now the chief purpose Of my
life."
One of the chief, Mark, one of the
chief. In this purpose will not be sac
rihced SO much attention and time as
to make the senator forgetful of the
affairs of the business man. The
senator will not become so absent
minded as to unwittingly raise the
wages of his miners to something
above the life sustaining limit. He
will never so far forget other chic
purposes OF his life as to pay living
wages to his lake sailors. He will no
in aft of abstraction sell any of the
vessels upon the sale of which de
pends so much to their builders. NJ
other chief purpose Of his life will fo
an instant induce him to neglect al
opportunity to engineer corner in
necessary of life.
We believe, however, that he i
much interested in "my policy" il
aiding the administration and tn
framing Of a tariff bill. There ar
political debts to pay and tariff AM
revenue dividends to be declared
There are interests to be rewarde,
and others to be punished. Tie Nc

given what it wants and it can b
helped best by a friend at court. |

Hanna will tell the senate these ar
what the people demand. 1t wi

the contumacious, and these will, b.
Michael Angelo Hanna, be painte
with the colors of popularity an
mounted in the frame of occasion.
Hanna has only one chief purpos
in life, though there be many chapter
5 of it, and that purpose Iis to furthe
the interests of an Ohio gentlema

WORK OF THE FLOODS.
Scores Of Lives Lost and Two Million Dol.
lars Damage Done.
AWFUL TALE OF WATERS WORK AT
PITTSBURG.

A score of people have already been
drowned by the floods, as known, and
it is believed that further fatalities will
be reported as soon as communication
can be had with exposed villages in
out-ofthe-way places.
In and near Pittsburg the property
loss is estimated at ST., 700, 900, while
10000 workmen are forced to aban-
doh flooded mills, and 5000 persons
have fled from inundated homes. A
single glass plant is ruined, at loss
Of 100000.
Carnegie's Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, the Westinghouse Electric
plant and other immense industrial
works are flooded out.
Connections between trolley cars
were made in skiffs by many Pitts
burgers, while workmen rowed home
and met their families at second-story
windows.
A great coal fleet in the Mononga-
hela broke loose, and half of it was
wrecked against bridge piers, at very
large loss.
FLoATED IN HIS COFFIN.
Early Tuesday morning the water
rose in the house of John Holland
In a coffin downstairs lay the body Of
Mr.. Holland, awaiting interment
The water filled the room and floated
the coffin about with its lifeless freigh
until morning, when Undertaken w
w. Hunter came to take it away, but
had to desist.
Half dozen funerals were post
poned in McKeesport. At Dravos
burg 100 houses are hidden, ant
many more partially under water.
1t was queer Tuesday night to Sc,
mencomlng home from work IN skiffs
climbing up porches and entering
second-story windows to greet thei
wives and little ones.

THE SITUATION.

The situation in and about Havana
is at present decidedly in favor of the
insurgents. The winter season is now
fast drawing to close, and the re-
bellion no nearer ended than it was
when the Cuban patriots shouldered
their arms to battle for freedom The
number Of men under General Gomez
is increased, and this great leader is
drawing nearer to Havana, the walls
of which act as shelter to the in
human Weyler, who has been continu-
ally boasting that he would end the
rebellion before the spring season.
The method of warfare employed
by butcher Weyler is proving to be a
dismal failure. He has succeeded,
with the assistance of the base treach-
cry OF DR.. Zertucha, in numbering the
brave leader Maceo, whose death he
had thought would dishearten the
Cubans, and at once cause their sur.
render, but his hopes were never ma
terialized, as the martyrs place ha:
been taken and is being ably filled
by the heroic Gomez, who is closing
in upon his oppressors, and driving
them back whenever opportunity pre-
sents itself.
Spain's hopes are growing fainter
day by day, her resources are total,
exhausted, and we venture the asser
ton that the end of this conflict, ant
Cuban freedom is not far distant.
