The rURkIsH INCIDENT.

proven a fact. All that this country
can do. all that it has any right to do
would be to demand the Immediate cap

together with an indemnity for the
murdered mans heirs. The rushing o.

to bring the warships into service.
Some hotheads have been advising
that our ships be directed Immediately

imagine a more foolish action. Let us
bring the matter home to ourselves for
a moment. Suppose a British vice con-
sui in New York should be assassinated
by some Iunatic with real or fancied
grievance. The thing is not impos-
sible. And suppose England should
send a fleet over to enforce her demand
that the assassin be caught and exc
cuted. Would not We Americans have
good reason to be indignant?
England would very promptly be in
formed that we know how to take care
of our lawbreakers, and with the in
formation would go an intimation that.
unless the ships were Immediately
withdrawn. there might be something
serious happening right away. But Of
course IL is Idle to suppose that Eng
land, under the circumstances set
forth, would send a fleet to this coun-
try. On the contrary, she would act
through diplomatic channels. just as
the United States should act in this
Turkish case.
Russia secured the prompt punish
ment OF the man who assassinated heI
consul not long ago. Indeed. the Turk:
did not stop at executing one man

one or two of them were entirely in

A demonstrated Resignation.

The inside of military life, brought to
pubic attention again by the trouble
the national guard boys seem to be
having with some Of their officers, re
calls some Of the woes of the enlisted
men i'm the volunteer service during the
Spanish war. Dutch" for instance,
was trumpeter in a certain OrganiZa-
ton which contained many Utah boys.
who viii remember the following incl
dent Dutch" was good trumpeter-
reputed to be the best in that entire
army corps He had served several en-
lstments in the regular army and had
doubtless. because of his wider military
experience, an unlimited contempt for
volunteers-especially volunteer Of
hcers. He had occasion to change his
mind before ne got out of the service.
His captain was a big. husky fellow,
said TO be one of the best rough house
men in the west. Dutch" endeavored
one day to induce the captain to put a
favOrabl endorsements on his appliCa-
ton for discharge And met with
prompt and pointed refusal. Dutch
brOOded over the situation for an hour
or so and then concluded to resign as
trumpeter. His resignation was not ac-
cepted. Dutch, still thinking he could
run a bluff over the volunteer officer.
next proceeded TO tear the trumDeter's
stripes or his trousers and tied them
around his horses hind legs, much to
that good creatures surprise. The ca D.
tain happened 90 prowl around the
horses 2 little while later and at once
observed the gay decorations on the
horse. He demanded an explanation
from the first sergeant and was re-
ferred TO Dutch" Send Dutch to
my tent" said the captain terseIy.
Dutch came presently. sullen and un-
repentant. What kind of monkey bust
ness are you working of on me?" in
quired the captain. I've resigned as
wind TANNER. that's am repIjei
Dutch. Oh YOU have, have you?''
said the captain sweetly. and who
told you that YOU could resign from
anything unless L let you2 Now. you

and show UP here. If you don't you viii

to some Of the men who had known The

that there was every likelihood the
captain would live strictly up to his

specified time. That's better" said
l the captain. "See that YOU have them

anything over that volunteer captain
again and was one Of tho most obedieui

ment disbanded.
