ness for aid In behalf of the starving;
Armenians. Like the stirrliiK service
In the First Presbyterian c hurch of our
own city last evening, this gathering
of men and women eminent in the pub
lic affairs of Washington representeu
a spontaneous outburst of righteous
Indignation at the terrible and as yet
iinnunlshed atrocities committed by the
Mohammedan Turk, and typified the
Christian sentiment which everywhere
Is rising to the duty of providing for
the surviving victims. In Its list of
officers we find the names of men of
every race and creed, bishops of Prot
estantlsm and of Catholicism, generals
In the army, presidents of universities
and distinguished exponents of the
learned professions:
One sentence In the address of Jus
tlce Harlan deserves to be noted with
attention: "If half of what has been
published In reference to the outrages
perpetrated upon the Armenian Chris
tians be true," said he, "it Is safe to
say that 'their sufferings are almost
without a parallel in the history of the
last one hundred years. Any govern
ment that tolerates such outrages with
in its. jurisdiction, or. which . remains
inactive while they are being petpe
trated, ought to perish from the earth.'
This, be it remembered, was said not
by a frenzied zealot, but by a justice
of the supreme court of the t'nlted
States. Not less striking was the re
mark of Dr. Talmage: "President
Cleveland expressed the sentiment of
every intelligent and patriotic Ameri
can when he thundered from the white
house a warning to all nations that
there Is not one acre or one inch more
of ground on this continent for any
transatlantic government to occupy.
And by that doctriue we stand now and
shall forever stand. Hut there is a dun
trine as much higher than the Monroe
doctrine as the heavens are hltrlier ti.nn
the earth, and that is the doctrine of
numamtarlanism and sympathy and
nristlan helpfulness." And this same
t nought was even more forcibly em
bodied in the resolutions; which said:
While we commend our trovernment ami
sincere ,1,-slre lht something" he? than
tneia diplomacy mlirht w rewte.l to hv
our Bov. rnment ami the Kuropean power
rommlt',''l In Armenia and elsewhere n
the Turkish empire. We ,lnem VlroEor"
VJJ f Ur """'"'ment should take all
In view of the steps which have been
taken In our city to aid in the allevia
tion of the Armenian famine sufferers,
it may not be amiss to quote briefly
the remarks at this Washington meet
ing of Frederick D. Greene, the secre
tary of the National Armenian Relief
committee, a gentleman who resided for
many years in Turkey. . Said he: "It
! reported by impartial and trust
worthy American residents in Turkey
that as a result of the recent massacres
as many as 60,000 Armenians have al
ready been killed, and that at least
three hundred and fifty thousand are
now in danger of perishing from star
vation and exposure. We need $100,000
now, and at least $1,000,000 will be need
ed to tide over the Armenians till next
year." But most eloquent of all was the
speech of a young Catholic, Father
Stafford, who carried the immense au
dience as by magic when he said:
I am heartily glad of this opportunity to
soeet upon the same platform the clergy
men and -people p(-th aevral religions
denominations of Washington, and with
tnem to plead In the cause at right and
Justice. Whatever be the unhappy divi
sions of doctrine which separate us I
thank (Jod there are yet left us some com
mon principles, a common platform upon
which we can all meet and be one. Doc
trine Is exclusive. The assertion of one
doctrine Is the exclusion and repudiation
of all others. Charity knows no lines and
stops at no barriers, but embraces all the
world. Liberty! Liberty! This Is a
theme for us all. When any nation outrages-
natural Justice we have a right
to protest, and we do protest ' against
these Armenian outrages. - Turkey is
bound by positive convention and treaty
with the great powers of Europe to pro
tect the Armenians. She has disregarded
tbat treaty, and the six great powers hava
looked complacently on. , ,
It Is our duty to make the liberty of
this country so perfect and our Influence
abroad so great that no corner M the
globe will dare lift a Sword' above aVaftan
tnd say, "Believe or die." This la car-
Mtui. war wwbwu iu iua woriu, ants jaT;
Clod give us grace to live up to It. Qod,
Increaoe our .strength, develop our re
source, nerve our arm, inspire our peo
ple. When others full may wa !nl;
when thrones totter and dynasties fall,

liberty In all the world. Liberty for the
1'roteMant and for the Catholic; liberty
for the Jew and the Oentile; liberty for
t.luck and for the white: liberty for Uu
rmu unit Amerttn: liberty for Veneiuela
unit liberty for Arnienlii! Liberty, freu-
iloni. and enrrancmsement:
This problem, this duty. Is before us,
It la not to be evaded or belittled. In an
age when electric wires bind continents
together and bring all races of mankind
into one human family; an age when
Christianity preaches In every clime the
gospel of human brotherhood and when
Kovcinmcnts are sustained upon the
plea that they protect the Individual's
privileges and rights, it cannot be held
that the wanton killing In another land
of thousands of fellow-Chrlstlans and
the starving of hundreds of thousands
more. Is of no concern to Christian
America. This duty is before us; and
It must be met.
Oeneral Alger's declaration of vice'

Help (or the Friendless.
The generous action of Professor
Ileniberger in offering, before Satur
day's fire had been extinguished, to
turn the forthcoming concert of the
Symphony orchestra Into a benefit for
the now nearly destroyed Home for the
Friendless, deserves to be reciprocated
in kind by the philanthropic citizens of
He ran ton. It was an action illustrating
the highest type of benevolence, In that
it was as prompt as It was public
spirited; and it should be regarded by
the community aa a friendly challenge
to a lively competition In practical
charity. This concert would have de
served liberal patronage on Its own
me rits as a praiseworthy step In the dl-
rec Hon of local culture; but now It will
make a redoubled appeal to the favor
r.f the community, and should be the
means of placing a considerable sum
It; the hands of the management of the
stricken Home.
IJut more than this will be needed to
conquer the emergency. If ever there
was a cause which deserved from the
people of this city liberal and immedi
ate support, this it is. Had there been
n sudden crippling of the Home's use
fulness by fire, that splendid institution
would still have required additional
support. The recent loss of legislative
alJ had left it in a condition of embar
raisment which could, at best, have
been overcome only by very active and
effective solicitation among Its friends.
But now its needs are eloquently, self
e ident. There will need to be an Inv
mediate and ungrudging public re
pponse If its magnificent work shall
continue without cruel interruption,
The Tribune, in the belief that a popu
lar subscription list should be started
without a moment's delay, gladly offers
ltB columnB, for. this purpose .and heads
the list with an offering of $100.
And now the story goes that Eng
land's naval demonstration Is for the
purpose of awing the United States.
In that case, It Is going to be a monu
mental failure.
Evidently a Trick. '
It is reported on "undoubted author
ity." although not yet officially con
firmed, that the report of the commis
sion sent by Governor Morton to obtain
a sworn statement from Mcdough, the
Oanncmora prisoner who alleges that It
was he and not "Bat" Shea who shot
Robert Ross, will form a complete re
buttal to the confession which Mc
Oough sent to the governor and which
Shea's counsel will take to the court.
The findings of the governor's commis
slon are said to be of such a nature
that the courts will probably on the
present status of the case refuse to
grunt Shea a new trial. This will call
for Shea's electrocution on Feb. 4, when
the governor's respite, granted during
the pendency of the investigation of the
M (-dough sensation, will expire.
This report is wholly plausible. Ev
ery circumstance attending McOough'a
confession has tended to cast doubt
upon its sincerity, and has reinforced
the suspicion that it was simply a trick,
devised by cleverer men than Mc
Oough, to save Shea's life and to re
store him to the scenes of his former
activities as a Murphy ward heeler and
political ruffian. When it is consid-
eied that as many as twelve reputable
witnesses deliberately swore, at Shea'b
trial, that they aaw him shoot Ross,
and that Mcdough himself then swore
to the same effect, the recent alleged
confession" acquires a dangerous look.
It Is a noteworthy fact that nobody in
Troy of any prominence or character
believes in McOough'a confession or
doubts Shea's guilt. To let him off on
such a thin basis would be to strike a
damaging blow to public confidence In
the courts.
Senator Morgan's resolution con

A Proposed Reform1.
The reforms to which the last Re
publican convention, at Senator Quay's
Instigation, committed itself, and which
will be laid before the nest legislature
for enactment into law, are to be formu
lated into a series of bills. One of these
bills has already been drafted by a
special committee of the senator's
friends. The bill's provisions are as
follows:
Sec 1. That from and after tha nun.
sage of this act it shall be unlawful fur
any officer or member of the paid police
or paid fire department of any city of
mis commonweaun 10 innuence or at
tempt to Influence any elector or vntr
as to his vote or the exercise of his tight
of suffrage at any political primary
meeting or public . electon thereafter to
be hold for any federal, state, county or
city office or at any municipal eleotiou
el for any purpose whatever.
Sec I That it shall be unlawful for
any mayor, head or chief of any depart
ment or any other officer In any city to
direct, employ or suggest to any member
or individual of either the paid fire .1e

litical primary or public ele tlon to oh. lt
any voter In relation to Ills voiIiik. to
solicit any person to aulcit or tiutuenco
any other In relation to their vote at uuy
of aaid primaries or election, or lo oo
any aot or thing by which the aaid metn
twM of the said police and fire depart
ments may be rraulred. Induced or per
suaded to take any part or activity in
any primary or election in fald city, ex
cept only the exercising of their Individ
ual right of suffrage.
Sec X That It shall be unlawful for
any mayor, or head, or chief of any de
partment, or any other officer of any
city, or for any other persons, or person
to make, or cause to be made any as
sessment upon any member of said police
force or fire department or any other em
ploye of any city, or to solicit or receive,
or have paid in uny way or to any person
any sum o( money or other valuable
thing lo be used In any munner for any
political purpose at or before any pri
mary or public electon hereufter to be
held for any federal, state, county or
city office or election for any other pur
pose. arc. 4. That It Khali be unlawful tor
any member of said police force, or lire
departmunt or other city employe to puy,
or cause to be puld, any assessment for
political purposes, or any portion thereof.
That such payment shall work a forfeit
ure of his appointment and position and
shall render him ineligible for reappoint
ment. Provided, however, that upon the
trial of any case of any oflleer, or person
for making such assessment such fire
man, or policeman, or other employe shall
not be permitted to withhold his testi
mony upon the ground that It may crimi
nate liinuelf. or subject him to public in
famy; but such testimony shall not after
ward be used aguln.ct him in any judicial
proceeding except for perjury in giving
anch evidence. ...
Sec. 6. That it shall not be lawful for

or anv such corporation to vote, or to

.... ..Itu ul.,.Mnn
Sec. tl.-That any violation of any
tinn nr thw nei chall be u misdemeanor
punishable by a fine not eNceedhig Jl.ouO
and Imprisonment not exceeding twi
years.
Whatever may be said as to the Im
mediate Inspiration of this measure, It
cannot be denied that Its purpose and
tniunt are In the liaht direction. If
Senator Quay can get this bill passed
and enforced, he will deserve to be held
In grateful recognition by all friends of
pure government.
Since the city of Detroit took the pub
He lighting question Into Its own hand
which It did on Oct. 1, 1S95, it has saved
nearly $17,000 net and has got tt much
better quality of electric light than for
merly. Since It took hold of the stree
railway problem through Its energeth
exVcutlve. Mayor Plngree, It hus beaten
an ordinance giving a traction company
millions of dollars worth of franchises
for nothing, and has secured three cent
fares with free trunsfers. Students of
the municipal problem would do well
to keep an eye on Detroit.
The official communication In another
column from Ezra Griffin Post, 139,
Orand Army of the Republic, In refu
tatlon of a recent slander on Colonel
Ripple published by the Scranton Re.
publican, was not needed to acquit htm
of a palpably false and malicious
charge, but It Is nevertheless notable
as evincing his standing among fellow
veterans of - the Union cause. The
slander did no damage, except to the
paper that printed It.
The Washington Post Is entirely right
when, in advocating the recognition of
the Cubans as belligerents, it says that
to remain indifferent to their strug
gles would be "to spit upon the Insti
tutions under which we live." The
time for friendly recognition and offl
clal countenance of a worthy but strug
gling cause Is while they will do some
good. Any old government can recog
nize Cuba after Cuba is already free.
Professor Routgen of Vienna has. It

of this light some trace may yet be dls
covered of Democracy's political pros
pects, locally and In the nation.
Mr. Bayard goes to England as the
ambassador of the American people
and publicly traduces them. Mr. Nor
man comes to America simply as ah
English newspaper correspondent, and
sets them aright In the opinion of his
countrymen. Poor Bayard! how this
contrast must sting him!
In Washington It Is believed that
Russia Js coquetting' with Germany
simply to bring John Bull, esq., to terms.
An Anglo-Russian alliance would be
likely to mean permanent peace in
Europe.
Richard Mansfield declares that he
has been driven from the stage by the
abuse of the critics. We advise Mr.
Mansfield to keep out of politics.
AS VIEWED FROM AFAR.
Ilarrlsburg Letter in Hawley Times:
Scranton has seldom witnessed a hurder
political tight than that of last Satur
day, when Colonel Ripple defeated Cap-
lain Moir as u candidate on the Republican
ticket for mayor. Knowlna ones, how
ever, say the real fight was between Will-
lam C'onnell. who backed Kliinle. and Jo?
scranton. Mr. scranton cnaiKes that
Democrats were voted to help Hip
pie and other tactics resorted to
that should find no place in
decent politics. Be that as it may, no
Republican In Scranton cares to measure
swords with the colonel In the political
arena, and entertain any hope of win
ning, for he Is a fighter, though always
fair. Beside he served one term as mayor
and gave the pec pie an excellent adminis
tration, which not even his hitter enemies
could find any flaws in, and this helped
him out.
