Whatever may have been the United
States govenments purpose in so per-
omptorily demanding from the sultan
the payment of $4,000 indemnity for loss
and damage TO missionary property dur
Ing tho Armenian riots in Turkey, it is
highly probable that it will require an
armed demonstration on the part of this
country before the cash will be collected
The sultan of Turkey is not cash Gus
toner. Trucking is more in his line. He
strings to creditors. particularly when
the creditor has shown, as McKinley's
government has, disposition to sleep
on his rights for several years.
The amount of money involved is not
large, but rather than pay the cash the
sultan will offer twice the value OF the
Claim in something the United States
does not want or need. We can have
$lS0.00o worth of potatoes, cigarettes,
liquor, old lumber, or even ship If we
are willing, the Sublime Porte will agree
10 work it out" in buildings. or trade
suburban real estate for it. Anything to
dodge cash payment.
In the meantime the sultan is securing
around Europe. trying TO persuade one or
two of the sreat powers to back him and
intervene to prevent United States war
ships passing the Dardanelies. 1t is not
probable that these efforts to entangle
other powers in the dispute will NEST
with success, but if they do the United
States will have a fight on it's hands, for
President Mckinley cannot afford to
back down after all his buster over this
small matter And even if the powers
remain alocf as will no doubt be the
case, the Turk may not prove a very easy
customer to handle. True, the Turkish
navy is an incOnsiderable factor, which
American warships would care for in
short order, but if the plan of forcing
payment involved the seizure and hold
ing of some Turkish port or custom
house the Turkish army might have to
be reckoned with. Such plan might
be strongly opposed b. some of the Eu-
ropean powers-RUssia for instance-but
it is doubtful if the czar would care TO
! engage in hostiIities with the United
States over such small matter
Day by Gay the United States is being
pushed into various kinds of co,np,i1a a.
lions with foreign powers. The policy Of
| imperialism pursued BY Mckinley depends
more on clustering diplomacy" and dis
plays of force than upon a straightfor-
ward, manly declaration and prompt ac-
tion, such as brought the Algerian pirates
TO terms.

TO GET RID OF THE DEBT
THAT is THE PLEA MADE TO
CHURCHES.

The congregation of st. Peters church
yesterday morning heard a plea for the
paying of its debt, and the debts of all
the smaller parishes in st. Paul
The rector, Rev George H. Mueller,
read morning prayer, and the Rev. Will
liam Wilkinson, who for this purpose is
special commissioner, made strong plea.
He said: I'VE have in all to raise S15,
900 to pay all our church debts now.
Christ church has practically raised it's
debt of $4,000. The work we undertake
appears large; it is large, but not impos-
sible; not impracticable. 'Tis true, we
are a new people, in a new world, have
not had time to become rich as old peo-
pies in the memory OF men, yet with
US we have changed the open forest and
waste into a city and the mart Of trade
for an empire. We owe 1t to the rectors
of our churches. who are God-fearing
men, capable, devout unseI1sh, instant in
season and out; we owe 1t to those who
are responsible for our church work,
whether lay or clerical, to help with this
enterprise. Let no man say we cannot
carry it to completion. We can, God has
said, according to your faith, it shall be
done unto you. Let the rich man give
of his abundance, and the man of mod
crate means according to his ability, and
we shall see the end Of our project with
joy. A very good beginning in this parish
has been made, and over $500 of its debt
raised" 49, -

THE MAGAZINES.

Quite appropriate 20 the May number
of the New Lippincott, which issued on
April 21 is the title of the complete novel.
April Showers, by Alice Brown, au-
thor of the delightful "Tiverton Tales
The title fits the story. too, in which
clouds and sunshine chase each other in
quick succession.
The April number of the Sp.art Set. the
new literary organ Of N5w York society,
is quite as unique and sensational in its
contents aS the first number which at
tracted Such widespread attention a
WQnth ago. Among the contributors to
the April number are the Countess of
Warwick Mrs. Burton Harrison, Mrs
Van Rensselaer, Cruger, Miss Caroline

the most entertaining writer's of the day
Pearson's Magazine covers a wide range

interest. The fact that, in spite of the
notoriously bad roads of this country, no

BILL RoARD ADyERTls,NG.

The efficacy of billboards is seriously
doubted by the Chicago Tribune, If the
billboard advertisements are designed to
induce the public to invest in some new
and untried commodity. whether it be
pills or pickles, canned goods or beer. it
is very doubtful if they accomplish the
results for which they are intended. This
is a serious question for the large ad
vertiser, and well worthy OF his earnest
attention. The advertiser of a particular
vestigate and learn how many persons
are led to ask for his particular brand
of beer by reading his advertisement on
a billboard 1t is highly probable that
be far below the cost of the advertise
ment. That is to say, the damages
would be found to exceed the benefits by
a large amount. similar investigation
advertisements of beans or pills, or soap,
or sewing cotton, would no doubt have
similar results.-It would be very empty
headed and credulous person indeed who
would order from his grocer a dollars
worth of Prof. Jones Lily-White Soap
because he had read the advertisement of
the soap on a billboard.
The only possible benefit to be derived
from such billboard advertisements in the
large majority of instances is that they
familiarize the public mind with the
article so advertised and reduce the
shock to the system when the article is
found on sale in the stores.
Billboards have their uses for announce
ments Of meetings. Of theatrical attrac-
tions and for bearing circus posters.
Their advertising value in such direc-
tions is peculiar and exclusive but for
advertising edibles. drinkah!es and ar
ticles designed for everyday use they
seem to be comparatively useless, and
will remain so until the advertisers at
tach samples of their wares to the boards
bearing their advertisements

ADMISSION OF WOMEN
PROMISES A DEBATE IN METHo-
DIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.

CHICAGO, April 29-The Rev David

general conference, which meets in Chi
cago Wednesday, declared today that the
question Of the seating of the provision

sion after the conference convenes and
viii probably be referred to a special
committee. 1t Will require only 189 votes

than the required tWo-thirds vote of the
conference.
Inc proposed admission of women dele
gates also Is expected to cause a warm
depate. In 1885 the general conference
esIapllSned precedent. when the bishops
decided that women delegates should not
be seated, and their names were not call

names of three women who were present
as delegates. but they remained Without

VOTES AND VIGILANCE xEEDE1

tOAES AND y SIOFlLANCE NEEDED.
The conviction is general among all
classes in the community that the St.
Paul Democracy will win a great victory
at the polls tomorrow. There is no GER
tainty, however, in anything that relates
to politics All the indications on which
a safe judgment may be based are in
favor of such result. Yet others as san
guine as are the Democrats of St. Paul
today have found themselves in the past
disappointed in their expectations when
the ballots had been counted.
The votes are yet to be counted with
US They are yet to be cast. We will
need every vote that can be cast to put
an end to the reign of crime and incom-
potency which prevails among US AS
surance VIII be of no avail should any fair
proportion of those who are now so san
guine in their views of the situation a.
low themselves to be absent from the
polling booth. The existing registration
seems clearly to foreshadow the verdict
OF condemnation which is so much need
ed, and if that registration is followed
up by the casting of the vote of every
man included in it who is convinced that
a change is needed. the result will be
what we all so anxiously desire on behalf
of both city and party.
The danger which now threatens the la
bors of all the devoted men who have
struggled to put an end to the present
shameful state of things is two-fold. II
IS the danger OF over-ccnGdence on the
one hand, begetting carelessness and
failure to go to the polls, and on the
other the possible use OF fraud and force
on the part OF the police adm. .nistration.
In the one case there is 70 remedy which
may be applied save by the individual whose
vote is necessary to the accomplishment
OF the result In the qtbtr case care will
be taken that no citizen win be deprived
of his right 70 vote Whether In all casa
