RUSSIA AND ARMENIA.

Reports of the killing Of Russian officials and
priests by Armenians and Of the shooting Of
Ar-nenians by Russian troops come to hand
with painful frequency. a considerable part of
the Caucasus seems 10 be in a condition resent
bling civil war Lawlessness is almost as ram
pant as in the Balkan, and Russia is exercising
a repression at least as harsh as that in Fin
land The assassinations by Armenians are not
Of course, 20 be approved or condoned, though
there is much proyocation for them. The action
OF the Russian Government is as wantonly and
cruelty despotic and as unjust as in Finland.
The author Of the troubles appears to be
Prince Galitzin, the Russian Governor General
of the Caucasus. He has long been hostile to
the Arrnenians. Some time ago, perceiving that
they had churches and monasteries amounting
In value to about Ssooooooo. he devised the
scheme of declaring them all to be the property
Of the Russian Crown. It was simply whole
sale confiscat ton. He laid the plan before the
Gar and his ministers. 1t was vigorously OPP
posed by Count de White, and vigorously
supported by Mr. de Plehve, the oppressor of
FINLAND. and by Mr.. Pobiedonostseff the Pro-
curator of the holy Synod and chief perse-
cutor of all who do not bow the knee to the
icons of the ORTHODOX" Church. The Gar
hesitated for time, and finally gave his ap-
proyal TO the plan with a modification more
nominal than real
When the imperial uksse proclaiming and
commanding this spoliation Of the most ancient
Christian Church In the world was issued, a
universal cry Of indignant protest arose from
the AImeniaus 1t was pointed out that this
act Of the Russian Government would rob not
only tle local Armenian community in the eau
casus but the whole Armenian Church and
people throughout the world. For the churches
and monasteries In TIE Caucasus represent the
gifts Of Armenians in Turkey, in Persia and in
America, and even endowments by ancient Ar
menian kings and Persian emperors IL was
also pointed out that hitherto all rulers. Per-
sian. Mogul and Turkish, have respected the
property rights Of the Armenian Church, and
that IL has been reserved for Christian Russia
now, Tor the first time in nearly nineteen cen
turtles, TO deny and override those rights.
The Armenian bishops and other clergy have
protested against the spollation. Some of their
| hot-headed followers, as current dispatches
show, have resorted TO violence. The outcome
VIII probably be that Russia will persist in her
/ policy, treating the Armenians as she has treat

IF TAMMANY SHOULD WIN.

1t has well been said that the battle cry or
the fusion campaign this year is, with the
change Of 4 single word, the same that 1t was
two years ago. Then it was, Turn the rascals
outr Now ii is, Keep the rascals OUT! for
'rascals" in both cases read "Tammany, ana
for Tammany, If you want the unabridged anu
unexpurgated edition. read graft and olacK-
mail and gambling, and the red light ana brass
check and cadet infamies, and all the hoeous
partnership between government and vice. De-
tween official authority and crime. THESE are
the considerations TO be commended TO those, IL
any there be, who accept Mr.. CIRCUITS SNUG die
tum that this campaign is not disuncuVeiy
anti-I8mmany campaign. If it is not an anu
Tammany campaign ii is a delusion ana q
snare; for Tammany is the exponent of every
thing fusion is fighting against, and the adVer-
sary Of everything that fusion supports.
For an urgent reminder of the need OF keep
ing Tammany out we have only to ask what
would happen IL Tammany were to win FOR
answer to that question, remember what did
happen when Tammany won and returned TO
power a few years ago. Remember what hap
pened on the very night of Election Day, as soon
as ii became known that Robert a Van Wyck
had been elected Mayor. Every resort of vice
becamea centre OF ra ucous jubila ton. Forthwith
every gambling den threw off disguise and laid
IN new paraphernalia. Every policy shop pre-
pared to do a wider fleeing of the poor. The
red lights were lighted. The brass checks OF
infamy began 10 clink. Vice and crime sprang
out of hiding into brazen activity. We have
only to remember those things to know what
Tammany victory then meant, and 10 know
what Tammany victory would mean.
Would IL not mean that again! Or are we
prepared to accept the suggestion Of Mr.. Grout
that Tammany now is not the stenchful thing
it was few years ago? Let the chief Tam
MANY candidate answer. Let us take the testi-
raony OF the very mar .rhom Mr.. Grout prefers
TO Mr. Low as his STANFORD bearer. Remember
ing the hideous satu-nalia that acclaimed Van
wyck's election, remembering the degenerate
cadets" the red lights and brass checks. the
indecencies OF Deveryism in the police force, the
incompetence the dishonesty, the blackmail,
the "rake-offs," the graft" remembering all
that made Tammany what Mr.. Grout well
called a stencil in the nostr1ls Of decent men.
Mr. George b. Mcclellan. the present Tammany
candidate for Mayor, said, I'VE have nothing
for which to apologize" He saw these works
Of Tammany, and pronounced them very good.
There is no eason 10 doubt, then, that the
success Of Tammany under Murpby's Mcclellan
would mean the same that it meant under
Croker's Van Wyck. There is no doubt that
Tammany's success would be hailed with like
orgy of vicious and criminal exultaton, and
would be promptly followed by a revival of all
the denominations Of four years ago. To prevent
TIE return Of such things is as much the duty
OF 1903 as their expulsion was the duty OF 1901.

THE WORN OF THE DEUCE.

While the full effect of last weeks unprece-
denied downpour in the vicinity of the meuop-
oils cannot yet be stated, two or three OF us
features already stand out distinctly. The re-
gion where the heaviest precipitation occurred
extended from Atlantic City, where over elght
inches of rain reported to Albany, where
there was about five. Washington ana Phlla-
delphia got off with two or three, while BlocN
Island, Nantucket and Boston escaped alto-

New-York City Binghamton was near the

during the two days. From the sudden rise In
the Delaware ii is evident that its tributaries
In the southeastern part Of New-York State
were inside the food limits, and the appalling
situation at Trenton and Paterson tells only too
plainly how the whole of Northern New-Jersey
must have been afflicted.
The worst damage has been done along small
streams and big rivers, which were suddenly
swollen by unparalleled supplies. lnundadon
and the bursting of dams were the natural con-
sequences. So, too, IN railway cuts, like that OF
the Harlem line in the Borough of The Bronx,
the water drained In faster than 1t could run
off and proved serious impediment TO travel.
This consequence OF the floods was temporary
in character. like the astonishing Accommodations
on the waterfront of lower Manhattan; but the
resulting Inconvenience to commuters, hun
dreds of thousands in number, constituted one
Of the most serious phases of the now historic
storm. When TO these evils added the
homes made untenantable, the submerged rail-
way tracks, stalled trains and ruined bridges
elsewhere, formidable total is presented. All

not to the wind. One breads to think OF the
