Since the little affairs at the Armory tlie other day local IXmocracy appears to have relapsed Into slumber agraln. The Turkish Problem. The Turkish rhess board offers one of the most perplexing problems that has v.xod the civilized powers of the world. This misgoverned territory which should remain under control of an inde pendent government in order that the equilibrium of Europe may be re tained has for years been made the hotbed of turmoil through the efforts of intriguing friends of surrounding na tions and the uncontrollable fury of Mohammedan fanatics who are ready at a moment's notice to engage in the butchery of Christians cf any nation ality or faith that are within reach. Notwithstanding the fact that reports of the outrages at Sassoun appear to have been greatly exaggerated, and that much of the trouble has doubtless been caused by the scheming of un scrupulous parties who seek to bring the Turkish government into disrepute by keeping Armenians and natives in a state of constant warfare, it has been clearly demonstrated that the Porte la unable to control the elements which make Turkey the land of in trigue and unrest. Under the volup tuous pleasures of oriental life and the teachings of a religion which frowns upon progress and education the Turk ish empire has gone to decay, and the feeble remnants of the once sturdy race are no match tor their more en lightened and scheming neighbors who are eaprerly awaiting the opportunity to divide ithe kingdom of the weak-kneed Sultan among themselves. Sooner or later, It Is evident, ithis division will take place. Every fresh outbreak in which innocent persons are made to suffer from the hands of the blood-thirsty Mohammedan Birnjocts of the Porte but hastens the Inevitable. It is sad, but nevertheless true, that the loud-voiced sympathy of European powers for the down-trodden Armeni ans is prompted more by the desire to arouse a sentiment throughout the vorld that will be favorable to the blot ting of the Ottoman empire from the maps of the Eastern hemisphere, than by any feeling of humanity. Official Investigation lias shown conclusively that the affair at Sassoun was exagger ated by press reports In a way that would shame the moHt accomplished follower of Ananias. In one Instance the number of Armenians reported as having been slain 'by Turks was prob ably four times greater than the en tire population of the district, and other statements made were equally as far from the truth. Yet these facts only go to show more conclusively that the combination is against Turkey, and that the domain of the shivering, nerve less monarch who Is unaible to control his turbulent subjects, will soon become the bone of contention between the jealous powers of Europe who. In the professed Interest of Christianity and progress, will struggle for the control of this Important territory. Whether this division will be made peaceably or whether at the cost of blood, time alone can determine. The Jtusslan bear has long had focussed a wistful eye upon the blue waters of the Bosphorus and will never be satis fied with any other portion of the coveted territory. But it is doubtful whether England, France and Ger many would consent to Russian control of this Important channel under any circumstances. While It Is possible that the carving of Turkey might be accom plished -without bloodshed, the Indica tions are that Europe will be Involved In one ot the most terrible wart the world has known before the distribu tion of the Ottoman empire has been accomplished. ' (An exchange says: "Queen Victoria takes a glass of fine, old spirit, mixed with the purest of mineral water." This should silence any rumors that may be afloat to the effect that the queen takes (her whiskey straight. The point raised by iMr. Olmstead, of Harrteburg, upon the judicial voting question, continues to worry nervous people who seem to think they are In damger of being flim-flammed out of their vote by sonro unheard-of techni cality liable to bob up at any time. For oxiou readers the foUowlnf rule will be proper to observe: Let the Re publicans vote for six candidates for judge of the Superior court only, and allow the Democrats o vote for seven. If all Republicans and Democrats in the slate follow tMa rule the result will no doubt ibe satisfactory. It has been decreed that married women shall not be allowed to teach in L Paul public schools, and yet some people contend that marriage Is not a failure! Colorado Leads. Arapahoe county, Colorado, has taken a definite position on the ques tion of recognizing the worth of wo man, In nominating ta woman for the office of county treasurer on the Re publican ticket. In commenting upon the action of Colorado citizens in this matter the Chicago News says: This ta a rebuke to the east. Where a woman' vote on even school affairs is made a matter of doubt and opposi tion. Ever since the suffrage question as concerns woman lias arisen the states farthest removed from advanced thought centers have been the most liberal and open to conviction. The holding of responsible offices by women is the largest concession which can be made to the sex. Few women comparatively would ever be willing to occupy a public office, as Us duties would directly conflict with those of the home, It not being so possible for a woman to combine the two as for a man to reconcile his personal business affairs with those attached to a politi cal position. There Is no reason why a woman should not make a (better treasurer than a man. Her being a woman gives a greater sense of security, is a kind of pledge of her honesty and surety that ?he and the funds will not disap pear together. Perhaps the Indulgence In business affairs will scatter the firm Impregnability as to corruption which domlnutes her character as well as her higher standard of morals and in time the woman treasurer and bank official may disappear with other peo ple's funds with as much agility and more grace than the fleeing man of the present day, 'but at present there Is no danger from that source. 'Edward K. Bok has written a book In which he cautions young men against overwork. In most Instances caution of thU sort Is unnecessary. If, however, there, are any hopefuls about us who are liable to Injure themselves by fetching coal from the cellar, split ting kindling wood or running upon errands for ma, the book should be placed before them at once. An Illusion Shattered. One by one the brightest illusions of our youth are being shattered. What boy possessed of the average amount of dime novel enthusiasm has not looked with admiration upon the far off. Lone Star state of Texas, where the festive cowboy roamed about unre stricted in pursuit of amusement of a highly-flavored order; where the aver age citizen was never properly attired for street promenade without a pair of six-shooters and an 11-Inch Bowie knife resting somewhere in the vicin ity cf his spinal column or the calf of his leg? Who has not at some period of youthful exuberance longed to re side in the locality of high-strung busi ness enterprise and undeveloped coun try; the land or rolling prairies, amber-faced Mexicans, blood-thirsty cow boys and wild steers; the land where good men carried out the Ideals of yellow-covered Action by performing chiv alrous deeds and dying with their boots on. Who, let us earnestly inquire, has not felt a quickening of pulse at the lurid tales of the feats of Texas rangers who some years ago defended our southern boundaries from the depreda tions of Mexican horse thieves? Hut there has been a rude and com monplace awakening from these dreams of Texan glory. The Lone Star state officials have brushed these fond allusions aside by calling an extra ses sion of the legislature to pass a law making the public exhibition of prac tical rules of self-defense within the borders of the state a felony. The ac tion of the Texas legislature in passing such a law in face of the contemplated visit of two northern gentlemen who proposed to honor the locality with their presence, is indeed a matter of surprise. The shock that this exhibi tion of inhospltabllity must have given the two gentlemen of the ring is slight compared to its effect upon the north ern public generally. It certainly was not expected from the territory of free dom, fire water and fringed trousers. We confess that we are disappointed In Texas. The dreams of youthful days have been rudely dispelled. Texas hath no further charms. It's altogether too quiet. It Is to be hoped that the announce ment that the (Philadelphia mint has temporarily stopped the coinage of double eagles Is erroneous. A scarcity of double eagles would seriously Incon venience newspaper men hereabouts who do not like to be obliged to de pend upon large 'bills as a medium of exchange. Prescription for Nerves. (A paper recently presented before the New 'York Homeopathic Medical so cloty by Dr. Haycock, of Buffalo, on "Some of the Influences of CHy Life on the 'Nervous Byateim," will doubtless be read with interest by people who are troubled with nerves. The doctor says that neurasthenia In Its varied forms Is rapidly Increasing In this country and especially in the cbtles, and It must be prevented or we shall have to increase the number of our insane hospitals and nervous retreats. In the cities there is less vital force than in the country, and the rush of city life seems to have a deleterious Influence especially upon the nervous system. "The demand for hypnotics," says Dr. Maycock, "is In creasing, we are giving more and more medicines Intended to affect the nerv ous system, and a large trade Is done In the wines of cocoa and kola and the preparations of phosphorus. Many use alcohol to keep up on, and naturally when this fictitious strength Is gone they collapse. City women have nerv ous exhaustion and physical exhaus tion because they overdo In the matter of entertaining and being entertUned; because they, like tltelr husbands, are expending nervous energy to excess and not giving the tvervous system rest and the muscular system exercise." What ifhese tired and nervous people need more than medicine is change. They thouM get away from business and household cares at frequent inter vals, go sailing or rowing or tramping for a day now and then. This frequent change is worth more than a long vaca tion, and physicians should keep pound ing a way at this idea. It is not eo much rest as change, that the nervous pa'ttent needs. It Is the monotony of work that makes nwvous wrecks, more than the work itself. Dr. Maycock ap proves of bicycling, calisthenics, gym nastics, etc., because they not only help the body, but divert the mind. Change is the medicine for the nerves. The American Kennel club will adopt rules prohibiting the cropping of tha ears of dogs inttrnded for exhibition at the bench shows. Like the docking of horses' tails, this ear-croprdng is a cruel and useless operation. There are dogs that could well be spared from lo calities in which they have been raised. Their sudden disappearance from the face of the earth would cause no sor row among near neighbors of the own ers of the pets; but there is no reason why a dog or a horse should be tor tured by the knife artist who seeks to Improve upon nature by mutilating the poor animal. Next to the barbarous practice of cutting off horses' tails the clipping of a dog's ears furnishes a shining example of the brutality of oivilizaitlon. It is a practice that should be abolished by law, and the ac tion of the Kennel club is a step In the right direction. The incomplete dog must go. According to the Wayne Independent, Christian Houseman, the Pike county farmer who recently ran amuck in 'Squire Newberger's oftlce and nearly succeeded in killing three persons, was a good man In private life, and aside from the propensity to commit murder, had no bad habits. Houseman's case should be a warning to all' good men in future to refrain from carrying deadly weapons and dynamite about thtilr persons. When a good man, thoroughly equipped with the neces sary tools, goes wrong, the conse quences are generally unpleasant for some one. Enthusiastic admirers of Cuba and her plucky belllgerants should kindly refrain from annexing the Island to this or any other country just yet. Cuba in her present condition attached to the United States would doubtless prove a greater 'source of annoyance than a mustard plaster in July. An exchange remarks that Miss Con suelo Vanderbllt's retrousse nose looks just like a poor girl's pug nose. COMMKM OF THE PKESS. Air. .McTuguo Moializcs. Diocesan Record : "What a curious creature man Is! The more you study lilm the more an enigma ho becomes. V hy Chairman Roche Injected the name of ex Judge Smith Into the chairmanship squab ble in this county is u. question that was nskeJ on all slilos the day of ihe conven tion, and I have tha firs! person to meet that has not condemned him (.Mr. Roche) for so doing. No friend nor any one Inter ested in Smith's election next November would have Introduced his mime into local polllii-s. There may be considerable fric tion between tho friends of ex-Sheriff Fahey and ex-Judge Smith, still we nre of the opinion 'that It was a serious mls tako on the part of the ex-Judge's friends to rush into print knowing vory well that no matter which v ay the contest was de cided it would very likely have some bear ing on the Judge's election next November. We do not wish 'to be understood ns In dorsing the action of Fahey's friends for the part they took in this matter, and for the good of the party in this county we ore still of the opinion that we will al ways be the minority party so long as In ternal dissensions continue." Cnso of Sour Grapes. W'llkes-Rarra Leader: "The Record staff received from one of the ehurcn festivals the other evening a quantity of cuke and pie, and In m-knowleiluing the recelnt thereof they spmk of themselves as the 'weary nerlbes, dissecting plos.' What made them weary? Wan It disserting the pies or scissoring the Ijendrr? It would be tingallant to say the former, and an the Record next day was made tip wholly of the Lender of the evening before, It Is more than likely to tie tho latter. Oet lighter scissors, brother scribes, und next time when you tackle pie, you will have suftlclent energy to masticate It without experiencing 'that 'tired feeling.' " John Mnrdslcy's Nerve. Syrncuse Post: "Some years ago John Bardsley, city treasurer of Philadelphia, with the aid of ablo assistants, got away with nearly a million dollars cf Philadel phia public money. Mr. Hardrley is now In a penitentiary In Philadelphia, and he has the splendid nerve to ask for a par don, although he refuses to disclose the names of his accomplices In crime. If that were known some of the money might be recovered, flail, sand and cheek are weak words In this connection." Will Try the Forceps. Wilkes-Harre News-Dealer: "J. S. San ders, of the Telephone, Is thinking of go ing Into the dental business. Like Charley Snyder, he ilnds It like pulling teeth to get any money out of the printing business. We wish Mr. flnnders success In bis new undertaking. If ho gained any experience in pulling the legs of candidates while he was In Ihe printing business. It will be of value to him In his new field." LITTLE GOLDEN HEAD. Story of a Dandelion. finy little golden head lived wlth!n a town) Full of busy bobolinks flitting tip and down, Pretty ne'ghbor buttercups, cosy auntie clovois. And shy groups of daisies, all whispering like lovers, A town that was bullded on the borders of a stream By the loving hand of niture when she woke from winter's dream', Sunbeams for the workingmen taking turns with showers. Roaring fairy houses of nodding grass and flowers, l Crowds of talking bumble bees rushing up und down. Wily l ttle brokers of that busy little town, Bearing bags of gold dust, always in a hurry, FusBy bits of gentlemen full of fret and flurry. Gay little golden head, fair and fairer grew, Fed on bits of sunshine and sips of balmy dew; Swinging on her slender foot all the happy day Chattering with bobolinks, gossips of tha May. Underneath her lattice on starry summer eves, By and by a lover came, with his harp of leaves ; Wooed and won the maiden, tender, sweet, and shy. For a little cloud home ho was building In the sky. And one breezy morning on a stocd of m.ght, Ho bore his little golden head out of mortal sight; But rt'ill her gentle spirit, a puff of airy down, Wanders through the mases of that busy little town.
