THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. TROUBLE AT STAMBOUL tOE EASTPRW QUESTION AOA1M KX CITING EUROPE. Armenian RloU In Constantinople Noth ing New In the Situation-It If an Old. Old Question, and Has Hi Basis In ths Jsalonelrs of Christian States. The Eastern question appears to b again forcing itself upon the attention of Europe. The persecuted Armenian Christians seem to have resolved upon desperate measures, and have actually produced riots and anarchy In th streets of Constantinople, and hav carried terror to the very gates of tli Sultan's palace. While the English press Is unanimous In expressing the opinion that the atUck upon the Otto man B.mk and other outrages In Con stantinople has done Immeasurable harm to the Armenian cause, yet It seems to have had the effect of stir ring up the British Government to a nhow of action. It is reported thai Lord Salisbury has determined to act independently at Constantinople, while a large British fleet la being hurried to the Bosphorus, and the American squadron in that section is to b strengthened by the addition of the cruiser Cincinnati and the gunboat llancroft. The Russian fleet is also to be largely Increased at the scene of trouble. There Is notUing new in the situa tion, however. It is a mare repetition, so far as European Interference Is con cerned, of what has occurred again and ftfraln. There Is not a first-claiss nation in Europe that is not ready and willing to protect all the Christians in the Sultan's domains provided it is al lowed to have the first carving of the Turkish empire. The lamentable situ ation of the Christians in the Kast has Icon due not to the Turti who, at the .'.MVjw Sultan of Turkey. -;.., woret, 1, a frank, bra.ve and ploi? heathen but to the jealousiea, un brotherly anbltions, bigotry and un darhand plotting of the so-called Christian nations of Europe. That continent to-day is armed in a fashion the world has never before seen. The strife for still greater armaments con tinues, and It is 'beginning to be a very strlous question what It 13 all about. 13 It to divide up Asia, Africa or Amer ica? It certainly cannot bo all on ac count of the "Sick Man" of the East, who, If Europe were united in an ear nest desire to protect Eastern Chris tians, would be only too eager to wel come Christian missionaries and give them all the protection that his wan ing power iuTordi. It Is certain that the Ottoman power would be quickly ground to pieces should united Europe undertake its subjugation. It is the Jealousies of Christian creeds, and the warlike hatred of Protestants, Greeks and Catholics, that really affords im munity to the rabble which causes the cver-recurrlng troubles In the East. If the militant Christians who are fr rever denouncing the Turk were to turn their eyes upon themselves for awhile, and consider how they appear in Mussulman eyes, they might possi bly attain to a clearer view of the Eastern question. Mahomet, whether inspired or merely worldly wise, recog iiUed Jesus of Nazareth as one of the greatest of the prophets of God. Bui Jesus said that he came not to send peace but a sword upon the earth, and Mahomet and his followers have been a sword to scourge the Christian world since the day that the Jealousies of Beets aijd the lust for power first cor rupted the pure teachings of the disci I14b ef the Gospel of Peace. If the rhio8en Turk still looks upon Chris tian natlpna as purely warlike powers, bent uniih conquest and aggrandize ment rather than upon peace and char ity, who can blame him? And If Eu jPe still gazes with fearful eyes to the (Silent, lest It sen i a sword to be wielded by Christian brother against broUer, who that studies the deepet mysteries of political science can won der at the suplnenesa of the powers in the face of the Eastern question? The . .... A Typical Turkish MoHqtie Turk knows that the Christian poweri are aroied for vengeance or conquest and not for thu propagation of th go.ipnl of prae and love, and whj should lie worry as to the ultlmaU consoquc-iices of the butchery of a few trodt;aiid sordid Infidels? What Chris tlan uation ever failed to butcher and spoil the heathen when he was wculi it attention? Th Christians whe 'V."e perTshert by the sword In the Sub tau'b (i .ir.aitis during the past centurj bear r.Mier a wf-ak proportion to th vuil li -laconibs that have fallen in tut strifes of CiuUtlan powers and seen aid naril'im3 wit'a each other both lu lJuropo and America, while in Che an of cmi'iWi! arid slaughter as a morns f nrociaaat.ntf political and rellgioni way the Turk, has become nutu a lug- rard that he baa practically dropped from the rolls of masterful powers. The Eastern question, viewed rlght ly, Is stain upon the robe of Chrl tianlty and not upon MahommManisra It has existed solely through Christlat jealousies. The conquest of Asia bj Great Britain and Russia may hart been, and probably ts, a necessar) work In the Interest of civilization and, If a European convulsion can tH avoided, may prove to be the basis foi a modern and more glorious eplo 01 "Jerusalem Delivered." But Is thf lust of these powers for worldwldi empire to forever threaten the peac of nations and turn the world into hos tile armed camps? That Is the pres ent status of Nineteenth Century civil izatlon, and the truth cannot be tot bluntly stated. The Eastern question Is but the menace of the sword to na tions that persist in taking up th( M. De NelldofI, Russian Ambassador to Turkfly. sword to destroy weaker nations. The Interests of true civilization demand I that there shall be no more such exper- 1 men is as iXRioieun uuucnuvii tu uni fy out In Europe, and which both Great Britain and Russia are now seeking to rival by much more subtle though at present less aggressive methods The retgn of the Prince of Peace on earth means the disintegration of great empires, Whieh are necessarily held to gether by military power, and which are liable at all times to become the Instruments of conquest and oppres sion. It needs no prophet to foretell that terrible wars and almost world wldo devastation must follow the pres ent policy of the Christian powers If persisted In. The responsibility can cot be shifted upon Turkey, nor, It may be added, upon tho Monroe doc trine, as interpreted and enforced for half a century at least by the Ameri can people. - :: f JZ:Z-P" ""-' The arts of peace may now well re place the arts of war everywhere In ! extending commerce and civilization. The old rollgtoua controversies have pretty nearly run tbelr course. The era of dogma Is passing away. Chris tianity is a living manifestation of the Spirit of God, whose works are Peace and Love, or else It Is a creed hostile to the essential teachings of Its found er, and Inimical to civilization. The world needs the spirit and not the. form of Christianity. It can dispense with all else rather than with the Golden Rule. And when it applies that Immortal principle to the settle ment of International questions the Crescent may no longer appear as a baleful sign of war and oppression, and the Star of Peace may at laal dawn upon a weary world.

William Chambers, Absent 47 Years, Ro (urns to Find His Wlfo a Widow William Chambers has returned to Jasper county, Ind., after an absence of 47 years. In the spring of 1849 Chambers, then a youmr man, left his wife, a bride of 15 months, and one child, to seek a fortune for his family. He sold all his property except the family home, and with $1,000 started overland for the Pacific coast. Cham bers took up a claim, and letters to his wife told of the wealth he was steadily accumulating. lie was gone a year when the letters stopped. The wife clung to the hope that he would return, but months lapsed into years and still Chambers was missine. Fin ally Mrs. Chambers, after ten years of waiting, concluded that her husband was dead, and donned widow's weeds. Fifteen years from the time Chambers left Indiana Mrs. Chambers again married, and five children were born, all of whom are living. Her second husband's name was Wolke, and he lived until 1891, dying at the age of 70, and leaving his widow in indigent circumstances. This week Chambers, aiicd 60. bowed with the weight of years, re turned home. He found in Mrs. Wolke the bride of his youth. Cham bers says the success on which he had at first calculated did not mater ialize. He became discouraged, and fearful that the news of his failure would be a crushing blow to his wife ceased to write to her. When fortune was within his grasp, word reached him that she had died of a broken heart. He gave up his life to the pursuit of wealth, at the same time hoping that his fortune would become the inheritance of his only son, of whose whereabouts he was also in ignorance. The long separated cou ple will again live together. Cincin nati Commercial Tribune. How Editors Carry Thoir Money- An exchange says men have vaiioas ways of carrvintr their monev.
