SMALL ARMS.

The different orders sent to the Springfield Arsenal have been account ed for. It seems that the government itself does not know whether it wants to use the Krag-Jorgensen rife for the arming of the troops which may be needed in the immediate future. First an order was issued to rush the shops, then it was revoked, and finally the first was repeated. The army officers are not all convinced that the rife ac- cepted while MT. Lamont was Sacre- tary of War is the best arm obtainable
 Some of those who have faith in it have been successful in getting the ear of Secretary Alger and the president, but their opponents have enumerated their efforts. This divergence puts the administration in predicament, be- cause it's members know very well that it would be wise to have the small arms used in the infantry all of one calibre. Yet if the approved weapon now in the hands of the regulars is not all that it ought to be, it should be displaced as soon as possible. This is an unfor- tunate state of affairs, for there is a want of small arms in the country, and this must be supplied. It should not continue even if there is to be no war.

THE CAPITOL LOCATION

There appears to be a misunder- standing regarding the question of the location of the capitol building, and we therefore print the following ex- tract from the law governing the mat ter:
 Section l. The commission estab- lished and existing by virtue of an act of the Fifteenth legislative assembly of the territory of Arizona, entitled an act to obtain capitol site, and to provide for it's improvement, ap- proved March Fist, 1889, and acts amendatory thereto, shall hereafter be known and shall continue and exist as the capitol grounds and building commission
 1.-The capitol grounds and build ing commission, with the funds levied and collected under the provisions of this act, is em- powered and is hereby direct ed to erect and build a capitol building on the grounds conveyed to the territory of Arizona by deed of conveyance, dated June 10, 1889, and being tract A of Capitol addition of lots to the city of Phoenix as appears by map and plat thereof filed in the recorders office of Maricopa county, territory of Arizona, on the second day of July, 1889, reported in book one of maps, page 62, and now owned and held by the territory of Arizona as capitol grounds; and when so erected and built, to furnish and main tain the same"

tilence within a few miles of our American coast. If the process of ex- termination is less speedy, less spec tacular than that adopted by the Turk. it is no less sure. And the kind of civilization" under which 1t occurs is of the same stripe as that which per- mitted the Armenian atrocities.
 This is the greater Spanish question It will remain for solution after the Maine disaster has been thoroughly settled, unless the two problems are solved at one and the same time.
 Are we not responsible to mankind everywhere in this matter?

ARMENIA NEARER HOME.

It is a noticeable fact, though by no means inexplicable, that interest in this country in the sufferings of the Cuban reconcentrados has been until recently less general and less intense than the interest was in the woes of the Armenian victims of the Turkish savagery two or three years ago. In the latter case the scene of the atro- cities perpetrated on defenceless peo- pie was far removed from us, but we were kept we'll informed by our mis- sionaries. These men and women wrote long letters home. in which the awful crimes were described, and both the religious and the secular papers pub lished the accounts in detail and ap- pealed to Christian America to assist the unfortunate Armenians in their hour of dire extremity. Returned mis- sionaries drew narrowing pictures of the massacres, and all our clergymen added their voices in behalf of the stricken race.
 More than this, the outrages in Ar menia were spectacular in the extreme. In one memorable instance three thou sand victims were penned in church and burned to death. The streets of Van and Sassoun ran with the blood Of hundreds of women and children. To the work of murder the Turkish sol diery added an even more heinOus crime, and the detailed story of these things, the photographic depletion of the mangled bodies of the dead in our illustrated papers, stirred Europe and America most profoundly. Bnt in Cuba the suffering has been more grad ual. It has been accomplished by few if any "sensat1onal" features. The reconcentrados, well-to-do farmers, have been herded in towns and left to die in filth and rags; the cases of put ting to death by the sword, of out rages upon women, are comparatively few and ill-authenticated.
 But what it the ultimate result? A larger number of people are believed to have perished in Cuba in conse- quence of Gen. Weyler's wretched pol icy of concentration than died in Ar menia by massacre. The total vic ! tins of the Turk have been estimated at from 100000 we'll up toward a quar- ter of million, but even Senator Proctor puts the number of dead Gu i ban reconcentradoS at 100000, and other authorities place it twice as high. One story has it that Gen. Lee became convinced that 100000 was the correct number, but, realizing how in- credulous the American people would be on the subject, he deliberately sent home word that the total was half that. In any event, there can be no doubt of the immense amount of suffering in the island or the death of scores of thous- ands by starvation and the diseases at tributable to want of proper food and care. Is it not time that we were stir red by this condition of affairs? Here is something worse than war or pes
