An open space" that has Eu-
ropean reputation has long been
threatened and has now at last been
rescued from the speculative builder.
In no capital has he been more active
lately. or more ferocious. than In
Rome. He found the old city marble
and he is rapidly leaving 1t plaster.
Every one who knows Rome will re-
member the beautiful grounds Of the
Villa Borghese. just outside the city
walls, high upon the Pincian hill.
Thence you look down on the city
stretching southwark beyond you and
can see the sun setting behind St.
Peters. In the healthiest quarter Of
Rome this site was the very opportun-
ity Of the speculative builder. II chance
were to cast it into the market. And
Of this there has lately been an alarm
ing probability. The Borghese family
were no longer the inheritors Of their
old opulence. Year by year the quaint
ly laid out grounds were falling into
neglect and the artificial ruins were
crumbling in veritable decay. Once
the Casino held a collection of antique
sculpture so rare that Napoleon car
ried them of to Paris and the indem-
nifty promised to the Prince Borghese
of that day-15, 100000 francs-was
never paid. But the pedestals were mol
left unoccupied and to this day the
Casino is one of the sights Of Rome
The grounds themselves are In a way
its Hyde Park. 1t is here that, in the
season, in the winter months, and In
the early spring, the fashion of thu
modern city is seen and scarcely day
passes but the scarlet liveries show
that the king or queen is driving IN
the grounds. This "Open space wa:
too intimately associated with many
sides of life of modern Rome to allow
of it's being sacrificed to the builder
The municipality has bought it from
the family, to whom will be paid To-
the concession an annuity of $4,000
year.

Foolish Companions.

Comparisons of the revenue produc-
ing powers of the tariff laws OF 1884
and 1897 for the first four months OF
their operation are the favorite stock
In trade of free-trade sophists. They
take the best and the worst periods, re-
spectively, of the two laws as their ba-
sis and are delighted at the bad show
ing for protection. No one should be
misled by such an open-faced manipu-
lation of statistics.
The first four months of the Wilson
law of 1894 found the country relative
" destitute Of imported goods. for
with the result of the election OF 1892.
when the policy of low tariff and no
tariff was inaugurated, came a deple-
ton of stocks to the lowest possible
point in preparation for the lower du-
ties and lower values certain to come.
With the Dingley law OF 1897 the
case was Numerically opposite. Its
first four months found the country
heavily overstocked with goods i'm
ported under the lower duties and no
duties of the Wilson law. The excess
Of revenue from this source in the final
four months of that law amounted to
81, OO0. 600.
Therefore, nothing could be more
palpably unfair and deceptive than a
comparison of revenue results in the
Nrst four months of the two laws.
Yet 1t is this sort Of stun that the
free-traders mainly rely upon to prove
their contention that as a revenue pro-
Aucer the Dingley law is a failure. In
reflects which are swayed by that kind
az argument must be either immature
6oeble or in some manner defective.

Reaching Out for Foreign Markets.

Reaching Out for Foreign Markets.
1t was not until the restoration to
power of the party of protection and a
stable currency inspired them with
confidence to rehabilitate their plants
that American manufacturers found
themselves in a position to 60 ahead at
full speed. Now that the home market
is secured to them they have taken
heart of grace to reach out for the for
eign market as well. Our English
friends will find the competition from
this side the Atlantic a more serious
factor in their reckonings every year.

MOHAMMEDAN ATROCITIES.
A Former Visitor to Roanoke Re-
counts Some of Them.

Many persons will remember with
pleasure Mr.. Isaac Yonan, young Per
sian from Oroomiah, Persia, who visited
Roanoke few years since and addressed
deeply interested audiences in the First
and Seco Id Presbyterian Churches. Since
then Mr.. Yonan has been in Louisville.
Kentucky, pursuing his studies in the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary pre-
pairing himself to TT turn tc his own land.
Since coming to this country the flood
of persecution devastating Armenia has
reached Persia, and the faithful Nesto-
rian Christians about his home and else
where have had 10 feel the merciless CT u
city of Moslem greed and fanaticism
Private letters from him give story of
heart-rending atrocity hardly paralleled.
The Mohammedans everywhere have
been greatly elated over the success cf
Turkey in conquering Greece and with
the consequence that in every place
where they are not overaw ed by superior
force they have risen against the Chris
tians on some pteteXt or other, and have
committed the most horrible atrocities.
Nr. Yonan states that in the past two
years eight large districts of these harm
less HISTORIANS have been destroyed and
depopulated, and their 90. 600 Inhabitants
are now begging for bread in Oroomiah.
no SbIeelS are il'eu WITH plCltul Sights
of naked little children and ragged, starry
ing men and women. Hundreds and
thousands have been murdered in cold
blood, and this district in which they
hoped to find refuge is now furnace of
outrage, cruelty and martyrdom.
The home of Mr.. Yonan is Geogpata, n
HISTORIAN village about three IL lies from
the city Of OIoomiah. 1t has pOpula.
ton of about $500. This was the first
village that welcomed the American mis-
sionaries in 1885. 1t has two strong
churches of Christians, its own schools
and has furnished about forty preat hers
and Bible women. Here Mr.. Yonar's
father has preached for twenty-five years
a short time since three NOLAN me-
dams, drunk and at late hour Of night,
went to this village and made an assault
upon the house of the Catholic priest
They broke open the door aud did great
damage. Mr.. Youan's btother, az tho
headman of the village, was informed and
with the servants attempted to stop the
men in quiet way. Two were taken,
but the third got away. AS he was drunk
he fell several tin es into the water AMI
the next morning was found three miles

from the village frozen to death. 1'he
Mos'em priests at once charged the Chris
tians with this murder and proclaimed a
holy war;" This aroused the whole
Mohammedan population, which started
out to destroy the village. The governor
was informed and sent guard Of twenty
soldiers. afterwards increasing the num-
Der to ninety.
THESE men were almost as bad as the
mob. They fed their horses on the win
ter provisions of the people and polluted
what they did not use. Before each mea!
they demanded that Mr.. Yonan's aged
father should place m oney in plate be-
fore them and when this was not done
they shamefully maltreated him and the
young girls and women. Many of the
people fled, leaving their homes to be
pluEdered ut will by these soldiers and
the Mohammedan mob.
Mr.. Yonan's oldest BROTHER, two serv-
ants and the Catholic priests we're drag
ged in chains to the prison. Here their
limbs from the knee to the ankle were
placed between timbers and squeezed IN
til the blood hurst from their feet. The
Catholic missionaries by paying u heavy
sum to the governor saved their priests
He then released the brother of Mr.. Yo.
nan'aud one servant. The other was given
10 the mob. They first beat him until he
tainted. They then poured cold water
over him until he revived, and then beat
him again. This was repeated ten times.
After being publicly carried about
among the GRO wds of excited Moslems in
the market tue Moslem priest offered to
save him If be would deny Christ and be-
come Mohammedan. The brave fellow
faithful to the last, said in the hearing
of them all, go, priests and people, here
l stand in the presence of God, absolutely
guiltless, and have suffered SO much
without fault, and now am ready to
be even cut in pieces. 1 cannot deny
Christ"
Immediately after this the executiouer
cut OIL his head and the mob cut his body
in pieces. and his poor cid mother by Civ
ing $50 was granted the poor privilege of
&C llecting his flesh from the dogs for
burial.
Since the concert of Christian Euro pean
powers in Turkish waters, Mohamme e.
dams have felt that they can perseoute
christians with impunity. This is the
price humanity must pay the money
changers of Europe, who demand that
the ability of their debtor, the sultan OF
Turkey, to pay The seven hundred mill
ions of dollars he owes them shall not be
impaired.
