The Turkish Goose and the Spanish
Gander.

The Outlook, the leading religious
weekly of the country, edited by the
Rev. Lyman Abbott, says in its issue
of Dec. IL:
Austria has taught Europe, not to say the
United States, lesson to the effectual
method Of dealing with the Turk. Austria
had demanded redress for grievance which
had occurred at Mersina. Reparation was
not made, whereupon Austria sent q war
ship to Mersina with orders to lombard the
place and full repsration was at once forth
coming. Any such vigor shown by any one
OF the European powers would have stopped
the Armenian massacres. At the hazard of
a European war? Possibly. But 1t would
have been worth the hazard. Cowardice
never accomplishes anything in this world
worth accomplishing. American property
has been destroyed and American citizens
griveously wronged by the Turk, and we
have been waiting two years for redress,
and are apparently as far from securing 1t as
when we first made our demand. If there
Is ever any use for our navy, this would
seem to be case for employing It, At all
events, we ought to take one ground or the
other, and take 1t vigorously; we ought to
either say, This nation will not undertake
to protect by force the persons and property
OF its citizens In foreign countries. or else,
when their property and personal rights
have been SO grossly disregarded, We ought
not to content ourselves with tame and

impotent protest, but ought to enforce our
protest with courage and vigor. Other ma
tions might well respect nation which de-
clares openly that 1t citizens visit and re-
side in other countries at their own hazard,
or a nation which protects its citizens when
travelling or residing in other countries.
What cannot possibly be respected is the
spirit which pretends to afford protection,
and then, when the crisis comes, fails to do
80.
Why not apply to the Spanish gander
scribes for the Turkish goose Is there
reason the Outlook gives for the bonn
harding Of Turkish ports by the Ameri-
can navy that does not apply, with ten
fol greater force, TO the case of Spain ?
Every word the reverend Doctor has
launched against the Turkey, every
line of indictment for his offences
agaiust American citizens and his de-
struction of their property, or for his
crimes against humanity if they were
piled ten times higher, would be true OF
Spain in her war against the Cuban
patriots. Every word the Outlook
speaks OF condemnation of this govern.
ment for not calling the Turk 10 account
and bringing him to book by lombard
ing his seaport towns, might well be di
rected against the governments Cubar
policy, with this difference the course
outlined for the Turk, many thousand
miles across the seas, is utterly unwiss
and impracticable, while a similar reso
lutte course in the case of Spain, taker
at the proper time, when the Cuban in
surrection was younger than it is now
might have preserved the lives, libert,
and prosperity of American citizens
and have contributed to the protection
of humanity in general. That was
duty, incumbent on Christians as wei
as the national executive, no less thar
in the case of the missionaries ant
Turkish massacres in Armenia. Blu
the Outlook has steadfastly opposed

has deprecated Spain's brutality and in
humanity, but it would have been ap
palled at the idea of sending wsr-shil
to Havana to lombard the place if full
reparation for grievances to American
citizens were not forth coming. If wa
had resulted from such an exhibition o
courage and vigor in the defence o
American citizens and the common
rights of humanity, this religious journa
would hardly have welcomed the calami
ty so cheerily as it would greet an arme,
conflict, many thousand miles from tn
home base, with the unspeakabl
Turk" With the Outlook and man
of its co-laborers it seems to make
worldwide difference whether it is tn
Armenian or the Cuban OK that is gore
by the common enemy of humankind

Cuban Belligerency,

"Unsettled issues have no mercy for
the peace of nations" The peace of
this American nation has long been
disturbed by the Cuban issue, and the
unmerciful postponement of settle
ment from one period to another, by
one; administration and another, is the
cloud that lowers on this nations pros.
poets.
The one propitious time for dispel-
ling that cloud was allowed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to pass by unimproved.
The executive was either hoodwinked
by the promise of autonomy to Cuba
Carnova's crafty scheme to gain time
or he was only too willing to bequeath
to his successor the performance of a
duty that, with his spirited Venezuelan
policy, would have made famous an
otherwise inglorious administration.
Now the pretence of granting auton-
omy is revived; Spain has promised to
send 10 their homes-homes that Wey-
ler's torch has reduced to ashes-the
survivors of the miserable people that
have been for months herded around
the fortified towns, and some other
concessions" have been made. There
fore, Spain must be allowed time to
carry out these other proposed meas
ures of reform and relief before any de-
cisive step shall BIZ taken either to
bring the brutal conflict to close, or
to protect American rights and inter-
ests, or to intervene ION humanitarian
grounds"
When Sagasta's farce is played out,
what new device will be invented to
gain further time while Spain proceeds
with her armament and plots for
strengthening her hands by enlisting
the powers of Europe in her behalf9
The figs of truly autonomous colonial
government can never ripen on the
thistle Of hidebound, absolute mon.
archy, such as Spain presents, in these
closing years of the nineteenth century.

THE manufacturing industries which
the protective system has brought to
such perfection are still steadily NOV
ing southwark and carrying with them
the protection sentiment into that Sec
ton of the country. The latest exam
pie of this is found in the Indian Head
Cotton Mills, at Cordova, Ala, whose
proprietors have just closed contract
for the sale of the entire output of their
mills in China during the next five
years. -
INAsMUCH as about S20,000,000 will
be expended upon River and Harbor
improvements under contracts previ-
ously made, during the next fiscal year,
there is quite strong feeling in Con-
gress in favor of emitting the usual
River and Harbor appropriation bill at
this session. No agreement to that eff
feet has actually been made, but it will
not be surprising should that be the re-
suit of the exchange of opinion on the
subject now going on.

A DOUBLE SHOOTING.
Mr. Jonas Hockensmith and
punch" Evans Fire Upon
Each Other at Berlin.
BOTH MEN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
Evans May Die, But HOckensmlth is
Likely to Recover.

A serious quarrel took place between
Mr.. Jonas Hockensmith. a farmer, at
Berlin, this county, and punch" Evans,
a fisherman at the same place, Thursday
morning about 8 o'clock. Conflicting
stories and rumors are afioat concerning
the cause of the trouble. One story is that
the trouble arose over the possession of
an island in the river. Another is that it
grew out of the disputed ownership of a
boat, and another is that Evans "picked"
a quarrel with H~ockensmith without any
special reason; and still another is, that
the trouble grew out of a family feud of
long standing. Whether any of these
rumors are reliable. we cannot state.
Mr.. George Hockensmith was mere yes
terday, but when approached by an INTEL
LIGENcER reporter, declined to make any
statement of the trouble or to answer any
questions. He was a witness to the whole
affair, and engaged Wallace & Wallace as
counsel for his brother, and to them he re-
fered the reporter for information. but
lawyers are mote. communicative. They
have convenient memories, aud usually
forget the details of a case when a news
paper man is around. II newspapers were
edited from What: they learned from the
lawyers about their clients troubles, the
papers would be awful poor picking for
the readers.
Whatever may have been the cause, the
results were serious. Both parties fired
several shots. Hockenmith was shotin
the abdomen, and one bullet grazed his
head. He will recover. Evans was shot
in the face, and is more seriously injured.
Hockensmith used a shot gun, and Evans
a pistol, The former is a well-to-do
farmer, of good standing. He is not i'm
petuous nor oi an irasolble nature. Evans
makes his daily bread fishing and selling
fish. He is said to be sensitive and quar- :
Ielsome. While his wounds are serious,
he may yet recover. No arrests nave been
made.
