Republicanism'! Opportunity.
Ex-Senator Edmund, of Vermont, In
an address recently delivered before the
Union League club of Philadelphia,
mentioned two facta of contemporary
diplomatic interest. He exhibited a
map of England's territorial posses
sions on the American hemisphere, and
bowed how her claims In Honduras
have within hardly more than a decade
welled from almost nothing; to 7,000
square miles, while In British Guiana
the expansion has been within forty
ye'ars from only a few hundred to 109,000
square miles. "This Is British expan
sion," said Mr. Edmunds, "but I hope
and believe that the president and his
secretary of state will not let Vene
suela be squeezed out of the mouth of
the Orinoco. '
One great difficulty In the way of
checking these Anglican aggressions is
comprised In the fact that many of the
petty officials of the Latin-American
republics are almost as easily suscepti
ble to British manipulation as an
American municipal council Is to the
blandishments of a street railway lob
byist. English diplomacy, moreover, Is
skilful , and persistent whereas that
against which it competes Is In most
cases fitful, crude and without definite
purposes. Every advantage, therefore,
rests with Oreat Britain; It Is big, rich,
powerful; it has the best merchant
hlpa and the most ominous looking
war ships; its diplomatic agents are
trained to their duties in a school
Which holds that the end Justifies the
means; and the policy of Its foreign of
fice without regard to the administra
tion's political complexion, is to push
forward the flag of empire, by any and
all means.
We believe that a time Is nigh, how
ever, when the United States will have
to do more In the direction of matching
England's greed for dominion than Is
embodied In the somewhat vague and
colorless thing known as the Monroe
- doctrine. It appears to us that circum
stances are auspicious for the Inaugu
ration of a comprehensive programme
of competition with England npt .a
competitor for stolen soil, for Ameri
ca doesn't need -that; but a competition
for diplomatic and commercial suprem
acy, for the mastery of Bpanlsh-Amerl-can
and Oriental markets and for the
first place among the nations of civilis
ation. It will be only a small part of
such a programme to put up signs on
South American soil warning England
and all other European powers to keep
hands off. That Is merely an expedient
of defense. What Is needed la a well
defined series of aggressive movements
looking to the furtherance of American
Interests and the promotion of Ameri
ca's prestige among the powers.
In this direction lies Republicanism's
matchless opportunity.
Tha Southern papers agree that no
other speaker at Atlanta has left a bet

of Pennsylvania. He Is an executive
of whom this commonwealth may well
feel proud.
Nonsense About Marriage.
The stir which has been occasioned by
the Lanchester case in England will be
grist to the mill of those who contend
that human nature Is degenerating. In
thaj case, it will be remembered, an at
tractive "advanced woman." Miss
Edith Lanchester, was forcibly seised
by her parents and brothers and, upon
a doctor's certificate, made out upon
hearsay evidence, rushed to a private
asylum, because she had announced her
Intention of living with a man as his
wife without undergoing the ceremony
of marriage. News of this abduction
becoming public, there was a commo
tion throughout England, and within
twenty-four hours Miss Lanchester
was released. She has since returned
to her "husband," and although the
latter urges, for conventionality's sake,
4 civil marriage, ahe peremptorily re
fuses, holding to the "advanced" view
that marriage Is Immoral. '
In the discussion which this Interest
ing but morbid, case has elicited many
gallons of Ink and some square miles
of paper have been wasted to little or
no purpose. The woman's peculiar at
titude toward marriage la notajenerlc
While there is undoubtedly a large sect
both In England and America which, aa
a ' matter of fancied principle, and a
considerably larger group which as a
matter of no principle, scouts the cere
monial and the sanctity of marriage,
few persons of either sex have gone so
far as to decline to hate the marriage
service solemnised when wishing to
couple for life. To the great majority
.of those who have no particular rever
ence for the form of that service, It at
least serves as a convenient notifica
tion to the public of the.couple's future
relations taward each other and Is,
moreover, a legal proteeUoa of their
children. .,: i
Bat la aa rational view of the sub
ject it Is apparent that the Institution
of marriage, fortified as it Is by all the
precedents of centuries of civilised hu
man society and re-lnforced by its pres
ent universal observance, cannot be
kicked over by the tiny protest of any
one mating pair, or of any probable
number of such pairs. It may be heroic
for Ajax to defy the lightning, but In
any .test of strength between the two it
ought not to be difficult to perceive
which one would win. It may be brav
ery to whistle against the cyclone, but
It Is hardly likely to be an effectual
competition. The position assumed by
Miss Lanchester Is grotesquely absurd
and chimerical. It will bring down
upon her penalties which a word or two
of civil ceremonial would avert; and
It will stigmatize her children, should
she have children, in a way which no
mother of common sense and common
feeling would permit. On this one ques
tion at least it would seem as if there
were room for the questioning of her
sanity, notwithstanding that the judges
decided otherwise.

An Appeal for Armenia.
The Armenian Relief Fund committee
of New Tork, of which Everett P.
Wheeler Is chairman and Dr. A. Ayva
xlan secretary, and which Includes such
men as Archbishop Corrlgan, Blshnp
Potter, Nicholas Murray Butler, Rev.
Dr. Henry Van Dyke and many others
equally eminent In ecclesiastical or
civil life, has Issued a stirring appeal
to the people of the United States for
help, as well as sympathy for the Ar
menian sufferers. The appeal acknowl
edges the earnestness of the interest
which our countrymen have taken In
the cause of these persecuted victims
of Turkish misrule, and It adds:
"But If they deserve sympathy, they
also deserve help. This Is the point.
It Is not a question merely of inter
national politics. It Is a question of
bread for the starving, raiment for the
naked, shelter for the homeless, and
healing for the sick and wounded. Har
vests have been destroyed and cattle
slaughtered. Husbands and fathers
have been killed in the field and moth
ers butchered with their children cling
ing around them. There Is great hun
ger and pain, and terror and desola
tion among the hills and valleys of
Armenia today. The people look up,
and there is no man to help or to de
liver them. The question Is whether
the people of America will reach a
hand across the sea to comfort and sup
port, them. This can be done only in
one way; by the contribution of money
to be wisely and carefully used In the
relief of suffering In Armenia. The
Armenian Relief committee stands
ready to do this work. If you are a
sympathiser with downtrodden and
persecuted Armenia, we beg you to
help us by urging the ' people with
whom you have Influence to make their
sympathy practical, and to give with
American generosity for the succor of
the suffering and defenseless Armen
ians. Contributions should be sent to
Mr. Spencer Trask, the treasurer, 27
Pine street, New York city."
This appeal should not fall on deaf
cars. The people of Scranton, in pub
lic mass-meeting, have condemned the
Turk. Now let them do something
handsome for his victims. In remem
brance of the cordial generosity which
Europeans exhibited at the time of the
earthquake in Charleston and again
during the Johnstown flood, Americans
ought to be quick to come with some
thing more substantial than words, to
the succor of the afflicted community
In Asia Minor which is now' a charge
upon European philanthropy.
It is .one thing to talk about the
nomination of Dan Lamont for the gov
ernorship of New Tork; but it would be
quite another thing to elect 'htm.
Aching for Another Term.
The New Tork Herald, which bitter
ly fought the effort of Grant to secure
a third term, has now appeared as the
special pleader for a third term for
Grover Cleveland. Its line of argument
Is the natural one under the circum
stances. It says: "Without Mr. Cleve
land the Democrats cannot win; with
him they may win. It was his great
popularity, firmness and wisdom that
wrested the presidency from the Re
publicans four years ago, and had the
Democratic leaders heeded his warn
ings and followed his counsel there
would not have been a Republican tidal
wave this year. His strength with the
masses saved the party from defeat in
1892, and It is the only thing that can
save It from defeat in 1896."
The Herald thus 'excuses its change
of front on the third-term issue:
Of course the Republicans and ambi
tious Democratic politicians unfriendly
to Mr. Cleveland may try to make the
most of the third term spectre, but people
have only to think In order to see that
there is now nothing in that cry and that
there Is no possible tlanner of Caesarlsm.
That danger Is to be feared only In tha
case of an ambitious military eenliin.
backed by a strong army and military
spirit, u was tne legions or Home behind
Caesar arid the soldiers of France behind
Napoleon that made power In the hands
of those great soldiers so dangerous. The
third term alarm was very naturally and
very properly sounded then when the ad
mirers of General Grant moved to secure
a third lease of power for him. General
Grant was a soldier, fresh from fields of
victory. He was the idol of the Northern
people and the admiration of the Southern
army. War feeling was still alive, and
there was a strong military spirit through
out the country. At such a time and with
a soldier of General Grant's strong char
acter and military genius the people had
much reason to guard against the danger
of military usurpation. All this Is now
changed, .for Mr. Cleveland is not and
never has been a military man. He Is a
statesman and not a soldier a civilian
without the slightest military tendency or
ambition. Thirty years have passed since
the war closed. The army has been re
duced to a peace footing, and a spirit of
profound peace pervades the country. Un
der such circumstances It is nonsense to
talk of the danger of a third term, and
usslesS to try to arouse the people against
It. . -. . .
Some of the leading cuckoo organs of
the country have not yet received the
tip, for they are still declaring against
the third-term Idea. Thus the Phila
delphia Record calls It "preposterous"
and the Boston Globe and Herald da
miss It asout of the question. But If
Mr. Cleveland's head Is really swelled
with thr notion that his nomination a
fourth lime Is essential to the salvation
of the Democratic party, he will In due
season find ways and means 'to whip
these ready Journallstlo Idolaters Into
line, and we shall have the peculiar
spectacle of a repudiated executive
-beating a. repudiated party Into
tke haunUlaUfif admission, that withia
Its ranks It has but one man fit to put
forward aa a standard-bearer.
From a Republican standpoint we
should certainly like to see the third
term movement get the Indorsement
of the Democratic party. It would
make the returns next November even
more Interesting reading than they
would be ordinarily.
Mr. Bayard's recent diatribe In Lon
don against protection does not please
all of the freetraders. The New Tork
Herald, for Instance, thinks It "desira
ble to ask whether this denunciation of
It comes fitly from an American ambas
sador in England. He is there as the
ambassador, not of free traders, not of
the Democratic party, not even of a
Democratic administration, but of the
1'nlted States. Protection, mistaken
policy though it be. Is the policy of a
great party, which represents half of
the people of the United States. Is It,
then, for the American ambassador to
announce In England that half the
American people are wedded to a policy
which Is corrupt and corrupting? To
say It at home Is one thing; to say it
abroad Is another, and for an ambassa
dor to say it is to use his great office to
disparage in the view of England the
country he represents." Then there's
that other point : Who are paying Bay
ard's board bill? The protectionists or
the free traders?
The Pittsburg Times' firm conviction
that Mr. Smith's elctlon as the Demo
cratic member of the Superior court
has an evil and sinister meaning Is
probably Intensified by the reflection
that Cousin Magce lost.
If the next Democratic nominee for
president be not Stephen Grover Cleve
land, we predict that lie will be Wil
liam Collins Whitney; and Whitney
would give the Republicans a pretty
lively tussle, too.
It Is possible that a good deal of
the newspaper padding to the Quay
presidential boom which, by the way,
the senator himself disclaims has Its
origin in a lively sense of favors yet to
come.
The belief of the Philadelphia Bul
letin that the drink habit Is gradually
losing ground In this country Is a pleas
ant one, and we trust that It is a true
one.
AN APPEAL FOB ARMENIA.
The following explulns Itself: "A whole
year has elapsed since the massacres of
Armenian Christians in Bassoon, and the
terrible atrocities by which they have been
accompanied, sent a thrill of horror
through the civilised world. The state of
terror In the Armenian provinces of Tur
key is now aggravated by famine which
threatens to complete the destruction of
what the sword of the Turk and the
Koord has spared. Villages were comple
tely destroyed, the cattle and the sheep
which composed the wealth of the villa
gerscarried away, and all their imple
ments either burned or pillaged. The sur
vivors of the massacres mostly women
and children who have fled for their lives,
and are now entirely destlttute of all
means of support and homeless wander
ers. For a whole year they have been
begging their dally bread from the people
In the neighboring towns and villages,
who are not much better oft than them
selves. Many of them have not tasted
bread for days, living on roots and herbs.
Hundreds of the survivors of the massa
cres, weakened foy exposure and want,
have died, and many others are dying of
starvation. The distress is so widespread
and the number of those In need of help
so large that local means of relief are in
adequate to alleviate the terrible suffer
ing. "In order to aid these unfortunate slf
ferers an Armenian Relief Fund commit
tee has been organized in London. The
Duke of Argyll is the president and tha
Duke of Westminster and the Archbishop
of York are vice-presidents of this relief
committee. The distribution In Armenia
Is by a mixed commission of American
missionaries, English consuls and others,
English liberality has already given much
to relieve the distress, but there Is great
need of more help. Moved by the sad fate
of the unfortunate Armenians and con
fident, in the generosity of the American
people, so ready to sympathize with all
suffering, an Armenian Relief Fund com
mittee has been formed in New York to
co-operate with tho London committee
and earnestly appeals to our fellow-countrymen
on behalf of the sufferers. The
rigors of the Armenian winter have al
ready set In, and the distress Is becoming
more and more dreadful. The case Is
very urgent, and we hope that a generous
response will be made to our appeal. Con
tributions may he sent to Mr. Spencer
Trank, the treasurer, XI Pine street, New
York, and will be forwarded by him to the
treasury of the London committee to be
distributed through the commission."
A CHAPTER OF HISTORY.
From the Washington Post.
A prominent politician of this city, who
though a Democrat, knows ex-President
Harrison Intimately, and who shares his
confidence to an unusual degree, relates
a chapter of the unwritten history of the
last Republican administration which is
strikingly sensational. Equally surprising
Is the close secrecy with which H has been
guarded, for until Its present publication
no Intimation of the affair has ever been
given to the world. President Harrison
had entered well upon his four years'
term. He had given much thought to the
tiering Sea question, which was the great
bone of contention between Great Britain
and the United States. The Canadian
poachers were slaughtering our seals In
discriminately, and threatening, by their
rapacity, to cause their speedy extermina
tion. President Harrison, through Secre
tary Blaine, had protested vigorously to
the mother country, but In vain. Tho
British government Insisted that Bering
Sea was a mare clauscm.and that the seals
were public property .when found three
miles from land. . .
The correspondence between the two
governments at this time shows that Pres
ident Harrison, always an intense and out
spoken American, decided upon a bold
course a course which he knew would
bring Great Britain to terms or cause her
to face the alternative of war; Harrison
cared little which, so long as our national
honor was at stake. He .decided to arrest
all the poachers, Imprison their, crews,
and condemn their vessels. Before doing
this It was necessary to learn how far
congress would uphold him. Upon the
house he could depend, but the senate
was more uncertain. He could not carry
the country to the verge of war without
knowing that congress would Indorse
his course if war should follow, and such
action as he proposed meant either war
or a British backdown. Through certain
members of his cabinet and several of his
confidential friends In the senate, the sens
of that body was taken. He found to his
regret that nearly all the senators from
the Atlantic coast and others represent
ing great commonwealths In the north
were violently opposed to a conflict with
England. The interests of their constitu
ents, they said, were so bound up with
those of the English people in a financial,
business and social way that war with
that country would not be seriously enter
tained by them.
President Harrison reluctantly," there
fore, changed his plans, and the seal ques
tion was referred to the tribunal of Paris
for arbitration, and, as might have been
expected, the United States received the
worst of the decision.
ADVICE BY BURDETTE.
"Remember, son, that the world Is older
than you are by several years; that for
thousands of years It has been so full of
smarter, better and younger men than
yourself, that their feet stuck out of the
dormer windows, but when they died, the
old globe went jogging along, and not one
person In tan millions went to the funeral,
or even heard of 4halr death. Be as smart
as you can, of course. Know as much as
you oan without blowing the packing out
of your cylinder heads, Shed the light of
your wisdom abroad, but don't dassle peo
ple with It And don't Imagine a thing Is
so,, simply because you say it Is so. Don't
be too sorry for tout father because he
knows so much Use than you do. The
world has great seed of young mas, but
no greater need than the young men have
of IU Your clothes rtt you better than
your father's lit him theyS) cost more
money, they are more stylish: your mous
better and you are prettier, oo, far p ret
better and you are prettier, oh, for pret
tier than pa.' But stop a moment young
man, and reflect. The old gentleman gets
the biggest salary and his homely, scramb
ling signature on the business end of a
check will drain more money out of the
bank in live minutes than perhaps your
handsome autograph can do during tha
balance of your mortal life. Young men
are useful and they are also ornamental,
and we all like them but ithey are no nov
elties, son. oh, no, nothing of the kind, they
have been here before. Don't be so modest
as to shut yourself clear out, but don't
be so fresh that you will have to be- put
away in a cooler to keep from spoiling.
Don't be afraid that your merit will not
be discovered. People, all over the world
are looking for you. and If you are worth
finding they will find you."
