'.rnE TERRIBLE TURK"

The papers have been filled the
past week, with the prospects of
war between this country aud Tur-
key and it seems now that on ac-
count of our having our foot in il
in the Philippines, we will have to
put up with the insolence of the
Sultan of Turkey or else get both
feet into it. The Sultan promised
faithfully to pay the amounts decreed
TO this Government for the destruc-
ton to life and property of our
missionaries over there during the
Armenian massacres, but he fails TO
keep his promise after two years Of
waiting, and il is intimated by
diplomats familiar with the situation
that The Sultan of Turkey does not
care particularly whether an ultima
tum is issued by the United States
because of the neglect to pay the
claim for Sroo, 900 which the United
States is now demanding, after
years of promises, as he has means
of reprisal at hand.
There are in the Philippines more
than 100000 Mohammedans in
the Sulu islands, whose devotion to
their calipha is fanatic. The Sultan
would have but to lift his finger and
these Malays and Moros would Join
forces with the Tagalos. The war
In Luzon would be extended in
every direction throughout the
islands and the American forces
would necessarily have to be greatly
increased.
More than that a break would
give the sultan long desired
chance TO renounce certain treaties
between the United States and the
Ottoman empire. One of these,
concluded shortly after Commodore
Decatur punished the Tripolitan
pirates guarantees that any Ameri-
can accused of crime or INSIDE
meanor within the Turkish empire
shall be tried only by United
States consular court and be pun
lshed only according to American
laws. This is privilege not
granted to the subjects of any other
power, and its advantages are of
peculiar importance to the mission
aries in Turkey.

pay attention to it any more. Toe
Beatty did pretty well, but this side

TIT
Down in Pleasant district the vote
is a tie for County Court between
Jehu jenkins and Perry Metheney.
aud the County Committee will
nave to decide it at their meeting
nes' Monday and no difference how
they fix it, it will make so much
trouble that the Democrats will
elect their man down there, as they
came within few votes Of doing
1t at the last election.
! / I
Grant district sends Noah Thomas
back again although r. b. Waddel
scared him badly and came near
beating him and is much better
man for the office.

Up in Valley district John SAINT
Dunn had no organized opposition
and gets another term.
/ tt
Over in Lyon district George w.
Orr gave the present incumbent,
William Jennings, a race for the
Office, and while the election is DER
1t is not Orr, but still Jennings for
two years more.

And now comes the report from
the Philippines of the bloodiest bat
tie of the war over there. About 400
of the natives killed and quite a
number of our soldiers, besides many
wounded. 1t is estimated that about
one thousand of the insurgents have
been killed altogether during the
past week, and the war seems to be
growing fiercer all the time, instead
of being ended, as has been claimed
several times.

been claiming to be Governor of
that State and has been trying to
hold on by every illegal means the
ingenuity of the devil could devise,

A SAMPLE NEW SUBSCRIBER.

We got a new subscriber from
Valley district last week under
rather peculiar circumstances. The
party is a prominent Republican
and he was in town and came TO
this Office himself and subscribed
for The ARGUS. He explained that
he was taking THE ARGUS as an
antldote for that 'tired feeling"
which he said had been caused by
getting hold of late copy of the
Journal. He had found the paper
on his way home from the postoffice.
and didn't know for sure whether il
had been lost or thrown away by
the owner, but presumed the latter
CATER he had read it). The finder
OF the paper took it home, anxious
to post up on the news, but after
reading columns Of political rot for
or against this or that candidate. he
got so tired that he was barely able
to get to town and subscribe for
The ARGUS. In fact, he couldn't
sleep that night for the boom of the
candidates ringing in his ears. At
last accounts he was doing we'll and
recovering rapidly and preparing to
do more farming than usual this
summer.
