Evening Herald.
THURSDAY DKUK.MHKHG, 1801.
It looks now as though fi rover Cleve
land would rumble down the centuries as
the only man that ever Insisted upon
being President nnd Secretary of the
Treasury at the same time. The effort
does uot amount to greatness, but Is re
garded as a fairly good imitation of It.
It was scarcely necoseary for Senator
Sherman to make a fcrmp.l denial of the
report that the President bad asked his
assistance In formulating a new system
of currency reform. The idea that a past
grand master In the science of finance
llko Mr. Cleveland would seek the co-oper-ntlou
of an untried greenhorn like John
Sherman In any such enterprise is rather
too glaringly preposterous to be Eeriously
considered.
The radical fault of the message Is that
It obstinately Ignores the prostration of
liuslneis by a change of public policy,
nnd the incompetence and failure of Con
Kress to provide adequate revenue, sug
gests no means of raising more money
except by borrowing, and threatens re
newed agitation for lower duties and a
delicate and dangerous reconstruction of
the currency system, nt a time when busi
ness can by no means bear a further
shock. It Is the utterance of n man who
will not see his own mistakes or the
terrible mischief dono by him nnd hla
party, who will uot listen to the people
when they demand a different policy, nnd
thus goes stubbornly ou to disturb Indus
try, to diminish revenue and to nuger the
people still more.
y "luxaeAsc In the volume of business at
this section of the year la not to bo ex
pocted. Preparation for the holidays, for
stock taking, for yearly settlements, and
uncertainty about the settlements of
others : the competition of orders by many
manufacturing concerns, and the disposl
tion to defer new undertakings until
yearly settlements are over; the session of
Congress aud doubts about financial leg'
lslation, the beginning of winter, with
bad roads, all tend to lessen new transac
tions and for a time the working force.
Payineuts through clearing houses, nftor
nllowauce for holidays, are generally
smaller in December than In November.
Hence, the decrease in business, by many
observed, is uot necessarily an unfavor
able sign. Hut there lire causes of do
crease this year which make the outlook
horuewhat unpromising. Prices of the
great farm products are low boyond prece
dent, prices of the chief mannfactured
products are lower than ever and tending
downward, the working force is now be
Ing a little diminished, but has all the
time been much smaller than In past
years ; wages of labor are low and limit
the purchasing power of the people, and
the uncertainty as to finonctol legislation
Is In no way diminished, but really In
creased by reports of Executive aud Con
gre-stonul purposes. The volume of bus!
neis repreteuted by exchanges in Novem
ber has been only 3 per cent. 1 trger than
last year, und i per cent, smaller than in
1832
HUMAN' government, like divine, must
of necessity onve its penalties for violated
law. Tbo noble deoislou of the people
for better government would quickly
appear as empty as a Pope's bull agalUBt
the comet, If It dltl not bring punishment
for those who dishonored themselves and
their country by abuse of their trust.
And the penalty, to be effective, must be
of a kind which the offender can feel. The
most conspicuous and powerful offender
in National matters is the Sugar Trust.
This law-defying combination is clearly
esponslble for the worst disgrace that
ia ever fallen upon an American Con
ress. By corrupt means, In order to
llunder the people of many millions for
.tsown enrichment, it secured the pass
nice of a revenue bill disastrous to Ameri
can Industry, nnd dishonorable to the
party In power, whloh so shamefully
failed to provide for the expenditures of
government that the treasury hag just
liceu obliged to borrow 160,000,000, and to
fasten upon the peoplo for ten years a
charge of t2,S00,000 yearly. The Insolent
dictation of this Trust, anil its shameful
methods which the courts are still trying
to Investigate, kindled the just Indigna
tion of nearly all upright members of
Congress. It Is only justice that the first
and heaviest blow of retribution should
fall upon a corporation which has thus
dishonored legislation and affronted
public opinion, and that it should come
from the very Congress which yielded to
Its threats and seductions.
TlIK Japanese government has acted
with good judgment In declining to re
ceive an envoy who represented the Vice
roy rather than the government at Pek
ing. The situation in China is fraught
with tlio uncertainties of civil war and
national disruption nnd Count Ito is jus
tified In insisting upon treating for peace
directly with n duly accredited agent of
the Throne. At the same time Japan,
having much to gain from the continu
ance of a war in which the Chlneso mili
tary and naval services have completely
broken down, a naturally taking advan
tage of every technicality for delaying
peacemaking. Its shrewdnoss and practi
cal skill in diplomacy are exciting alarm
and consternation in Groat Britain, where
there is growing apprehension of the dis
solution of the Chinese Umpire. Japan
c itiuot be forced to negotiate peace
against its will unless there is a concerted
action on the part of England, Franco
nnd Russia. That there has been a secret
understanding among these Powers for
many years respecting n possible partition
of China we do not doubt; and the State
Department at Washington ought to be
exceedingly wary In being drawn Into
nny European entanglement In Asiatic
nltalrs. All the Foreign Offices are fully
employed now with Intrigues In remote
quarters of the earth. Even Germany,
which has nothing nt stake In China, Is
npporently mnking n determined effort to
secure a port in Morocco, nccording to the
latest news from the Mediterranean. All
these matters lie outside the Bphcro of
American interests and the State Depart
ment is justified In maintaining a benevo
lent attitude of impartial neutrality nnd
nwaltlng the natural order of events with
out prematurely committing Itself to any
course of action.
There is n lond call feincutho election
for n ballot folding machine in states

thero were as many as 22 different bal

tinios so stiffenod with labor that they
could uot perform tho task. Somo of

bo folded and doposited iu tho ballot
box. Tho rest had to bo folded aud
given to au inspector, who toro them

muddled and weary beforo he had com
pleted tho reading and fumbling. Iu
many cases men no doubt voted for can
didates and wensuros they desired to vote
against. Tho folding machiuo would
help matters.

A DENIAL FROM TURKEY.
Tho Armenian, It Is ( Irtlliinl, Started tlio
Atrnclntii Slaughter
Washington, Dec. 0. The Turkish le
(rnllou has rnvhvil tho following official
eommunlontlnii ns regards tho Armenian
troubles: Towards the end of July last,
tinder the instigation of an Armenian
linmod llainpurtzmim, tho mon of the Ar
menian village noar Mourn formed sepa
rate bands, and armed with gtttiSpdaggers,
hate-hots and other Instruments, attacked
the trllie of Dellkan, killed a few men of
that trllie, and afterwards foil on tho
trllK-s of lli'klrnm nnd Badlknn. These
bands bnrnod alive Hadji, nephew of
Kumcr Agha, one of the chiefs of the Bck
Iran tribe, and not only outrnged Mussel
men women of the village of Klilll-Giuat,
but itlso put tiit-in to death In an atrocious
manner. Men wore also tortured In o more
ferocious way. Not satisfied with all these
lawless and criminal proceedings the same
bands burued also n few villages Inhabited
by Musselmon.
Thanks, however, to tho moasures taken
by the lawful authorities tho bauds In
question were dlsiwrsod and tho Insurgent
Chief HampttrUoum, as well as the Prlost
Mlghirdltch, of Klzil-Killsse, and other
guilty persona were arrested and brought
beforo justice. The statement often pub
lished In some of the Kurojieau newspapers
to tho effect that the troops fired on de
fenseless men and women Is utterly un
true. No unarmed Individual was killed.
Twenty insurgents having surrendered,
were treated with all posslblo considera
tion, nnd after their dejiosltions before
tho logal authorities of Mous were taken
thoy were given their freedom. It was
thoso twenty Insurgents who Indicated tho
plnoo where tlio Chief Hampartzoum and
his accomplices were hiding themselves.
Tho above facts show thut among tho In
surgents only twenty surrendered, mid
that, with tho exception of the brigands
who broke in revolt no one else was ill

Always Clvon Mo Relief,
and like many others, as soon as I am well I
never think of medicine again until the next ot-
tack. Wo are never without nood's Sarsapa
rllla and Hood's Fills In our house, and have
recommended both to dozens of friends, when
any of my family are taken sick, no matter with
what disease, the flrst thing we do Is to glv
A Doso of Hood's Pills
and follow It up with nood's Sarsnparllla. I
might write several pages In praise ot this ex
ellent medicine, but think I have said enough
to convince." T. tV. IIaus, Pittsburgh, To.
