The Turkish indie IN n ity.
From The Boston Herald.


However looked at, 1t is not dignified
international proceeding, and we are in
cllned to believe 1t would have been better
for Congress to have voted the amount OF
money needed to liquidate the claims of
those American citizens who had suffered
from Turkish misgovernment, and then in
sist. at such convenient time as might oc-
cur. upon a cash repayment by the sultan.
The amount involved is relatively insignif-
cant. The principle that if wrongs are
done American citizens in foreign countries
the governments responsible for these
wrongs must pay damages is one of vital
Importance, and the reparation should take
a form which is positive. and even dra-
matte, in its character. that the effect
of 1T should be to make manifest to the
minor officials and the people Immediately
responsible for the wrong done the outcome
of their misdoing. We fear that in this
covert way of dealing with the matter the
moral effect of the action will be greatly
dissipated If not lost.

American readers. 1t will recall the criH-
cism that was leveled at the President in
connection with army commissions at the
time Of the war with Spain. He was ac-
cused of yielding too much to social and
political pressure: and the high death rate
in the camps, and the many tangles that
disclosed themselves when the expeditions
for Cuba and Porto Rico were fitting out
were charged to the 'sons Of somebodies"
who held commissions in the army without
qualifications for their duties. This indict-
ment entered into the state campaigns of
1898, and an amusing feature Of the situa-
ton was that some Of the democratic lead
ers who were the most aggressive in as
sailing the President on this score had
themselves secured many appoin tments to
the army from civil life. If the President
had erred. he had done so partly at their
instance. and yet they were now trying to
use his alleged complacency to his injury
and to the injury Of his party.
But the indictment failed. The people re-
fused to hold the President blamable either
for conditions not of his making or for rec
ognizing influences which obtain the world
over. The 'Somebodies" are, as a rule, al
ways taken ipto account. With us they are
men who have made their way to the front
in politics. in the professions, or in business,
and it is not possible to ignore them. 1t is
folly indeed to demand such thing. So
that when war with Spain was declared.
and an army had to be created, such some
bodies had sons and friends anxious to
enlist eXerted themselves to secure good
places for them. Upon the whole. too such
turned out well. There were
instances of incapacity, but they were not

Inc drawing of 81 900 mileage by the Ha-
waiian delegate to Congress for his journey
to Washington is attracting a good deal Of
attention. it we'll may The fact is be-
ing made clear that 20 cents mile or
travel to and from the capital is a mon

times of swift and cheap transportation
1t amounts to nothing more or less than an
uneven and roundabout addition to the net

are not likely to admit, then there should

Influenza Raging in RUSSIA.
From the New York Tribune.

Influenza is raging in Russia with such
viruence that the operations Of the govern
ment departments have been graveIy OBJ
structed. and the overworked physicians of
ST. Petersburg are almost in despair This
has been an exceptional year for destruc-
tive epidemics In many countries, and the
resources of medical science have been
baffled by the mysterious prevalence Of GER
tain maiadies. War and pestlence have
been busy in checking the increase of pop
ulation. and the disciples of Nautilus have
renewed their faith in his theories.

Both Want = Hall of Records.
From the New York Tribune.

Washington needs hall of records, be-
cause the various departments are now so
overburdened with archives that lamenta-
bic confusion and delay are apparent al
most everywhere. New York needs a spa
cious f1reproof hall of records even more
than Washington does. The danger Of the
destruction by fire Of huge masses of docu-
ments of supreme Importance becomes
more alarming every month. A city gov
eminent Influenced by fidelity to the public
interests would have completed new hall
OF records In Manhattan long ago. But the
work still lags, and barrier after barrier
is set up against its steady advance.

Our Fears.

Fourth Our great
fear is that we shall
have to ask higher
prices than demanded
during the year of
1900. The wholesale
quotations for cotton
goods have risen nearly
20 per cent during the
year. In fact, almost
everything in the dry
goods and fancy goods
trade has risen in price.
Always remember
the Palais Royal never
has or will lower quail
ity in order to lower
price.
But let us emphasize
the fact that "Palais
Royal prices shall be
less than prevailing
This is a logical state
ment, built on a solid
foundation "the
Palais Royal is the one
great department store
in Washington making
a specially of a cash
business"

civilized" in the true sense? 1t is not
possible 10 answer yes with confidence.
They are learning to read. to live in
houses. and TO wear white mems
clothes; yet unfortunately, in some
cases at least, the vices of civilization
seem likely to oVerpower some of the
native virtues of the race. On some
reservations intemperanee has in
creased almost exactly in proportion
to the disappearance of the character
istics of the aboriginal red man.
To civilize means to endow with the
proper qualities of citizen; and so
far as the reading and house-dwelling
Indian lacks these qualities. his trans
formation into the outward semblance
of white man fails in its chief pur-
pose. The duty of the white people
toward the Indian is far from being
ended with imposing upon him the
superficial marks of their civilization.
