WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1891.
SEcriETAitY Carlisle la still anxious "to
relieve the Treasury," but he need not
worry. The gold grabbers of Europe will
do the business for him.
The ultimate object of the Democratic
currency tinkers la to drive the country
back to the old system of state banks,
uuder which the value of n note depended
very largely upon Its distance from the
concern that Issued It. Back of all the
tinkering, arguing and theorizing of the
currency quacks lies n determined and
lll-coucealed purpose to destroy the pres
ent Xationai banking Bystem and replace
it with a scheme that will unbalance the
existing safety and equality of thej clrcu
lating medium and develop speculation in
bank notes Into a flourishing Industry.
'Jin establishment of a system of
rudimentary Instruction in Russia, prom'
lsed by the new Czar, will be one of the
most important educational procedures
of the modern or any other period, and Is
a necessary prelude to the complete civili
zation of that country. That and Parlln
mentary government will give them e
long lift ahead, and perhaps mitigate
tome of the National and bocial dlscon
tents which make the lives of Czars and
other high personages bo uncomfortable,
llussla is far behind all the European
countries tn the matter of education as of
civilization tn general, and lias a long
road to travel before sho overtakes them.
But her people are quick, ingenious and
teachable, and there is no telling what
destinies may await them when they are
educated up to the Prussian or United
States standard. Instead of constituting,
as now, a buffer between Europe and Asia
it may come to absorb both these great
territorial divisions of the globe and look
out upon the United States, its only rival
across both the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Anything is possible to a land of such
situation and resources.
It is not kind In the President to threaten
us with an extra session of Congress, uu
less his currency plans are adopted before
March 1th. Aut there is consolation in
the fact that if he calls an extra session
It will be a Republican Congress that will
meet Apparently the threat was intend
cd to drive tho present C .ingress into some
action on revenue and currency bills. But
members know right well that the Presi
dent does not want a Republican C u
Kress to act on these matters. His threats
in trul h, are the emptiest and rnosx fool
isu imaginable. Tlio uemocratlc mem
bers to whom they aro nddrejsed are per
feeuj aware that, he does not waut to
have sent to htm for approval or veto
such bills as ii Republican Congrats would
assuredly pass. Moreover, he does uat
waul to havo the Hawatlau business In
vestigated, or the Sanioan business, or
the Nicaragua business, or the Behrlng
Sea business. Still less does he wan. to
have the Nova Scotia aililr Investigated.
No the President is not hungry tp hove
any Republican majority in Congress look
Into thUgs this ytnr. What he profess
edly wants Is provision for the revenue
and the anticipated deficit. Buttheqttick
response of Democrats in both hotiios to
private suggestions from the White House
appears to indicate that the Presidtut has
nn Idea that his state bank scheme can be
forced through Congress at this session,
itud his fiee ooal and free iron ore hills as
well. He will find It slow work. Although
inembtrs of the House and the Senate,
who are particularly subservient to his
wlshc begin to talk and act as If they
wanted to do something in thsse matters,
they are all well aware that they have no
power On the tariff they cannot actjttn
less lu direction of smashing the Sugar
Trust, On the currency they cannot act,
- unless the Democratic Congress sends to
the President a free silver bill to be vetoed.
Ills party may readily advosate his stato
banking plan, Ingeniously devUed to kill
the National banks,, but It will never get
through theseuats. The President knows
only too well that nothing he really de
sires will get pissedjin a Republican Con-K'ess.

The President's Report on
the
Matter to the Soiiate,
REPORTS GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
Our lovtrnnnt llai Hrcclved No Notice
That Aiiii lean Cltlrrn Were Anions
tlii Victim, or Tiirhl.li Itriilnlltles Ar
menian Intrigue In TI1I4 Country,
Washington, Dec. 18 In compliance
witli tlif Hoar resolution the president
yesterday sent to tlio senate a letter from
Secretary Grcslmm relatlvo to the- Armu
nian outragos. The secretary states that
the department has received no Informa
tion other than tho statements of the
Turkish government, tho published press
reports and two telegraphic reports from
the legation of tho United States at Con
stantinople. Thoso statements and reports
contain nothing as to any cruelties com
mitted upon persons who nro described In
tho resolution as "citizens who have de
clared tliolr intention to become natural
ized." The secrutary Is not awnro that
there aro American citizens in Armenia
or elsewhere who aro such othcrwlso than
by birth or naturalization. Tho depart
ment is not Informed that Turkish sub
jects who Iiavo declared their intention to
bocome citizens of tho United States and
have acquired a domicile in this country
have, upon returning to tho land of their
birth, been subjected to cruelties.
In the nbseneo of authentic information
In regard to tho matters in quostion, no
"expostulations" have boon addrossed to
tho government pf Turkoy regarding
them.
As to "proposals" mado by or to this
government to net In concert with other
Christian powers, the secretary says that
on the 30th tilt, tho American minister at
Constantinople telegraphed tho sultan had
expressed n deslro that a citizen of tho
Unitod States should accompany a "Turk
ish commission" to Investigate tho alleged
cruelties with Its solicitation, which is
doubtless ono of tho "proposals" referred
to In recent public rumors, was, though
lully appreciated, declined.
Stibseauejitly, however, tho British gov
ernment, one of tho principal signatories
of the Berlin treaty of 1878, having taken
steps In the matter, expressed a deslro that
o capable and upright citizen of tho United
States might participate with the commis
sion in nn Investigation now to be made.
With this reqt'ost, which was supported by
the porte, it was decided to comply, and
Mr. Jowett, consul of tho United States at
Sivus, was designated for tho duty.
In transmitting the correspondence to
the sennte tho president says In part: "I
have no information concerning cruelties
committed upon Armenians in Turkoy or
upon persons becauso of their bolng Chris
tians, except such Information as has been
derived from newspaper reports, and state
ments emanating from tho Turkish gov
ernment denying such cruelties, as do two
telegraphic reports from our minister at
Constantinople.
One of these reports, dated Nov. S3, 1891,
Is in answer to an inquiry by tho stato de
partment touching reports in tho press al
leging tho killing of Armenians and is as
follows :
"Reports In American papers of Turkish
ntrocitics at Sassoun nro sensational and
exaggerated. Tho killing was in a con
lllct lietwccu armed Armenians and Turk
ish soldiers. Tho grand vlzlor says It was
necessary to suppress insurrection, and
that about fifty Turks were killed. Be
tween tliroo and four hundred Armenian
guns were picked up after tho fight, and
reports say that about that number of
Armenians were killed. I glvo credit to
this statement."
Tho other dispatch referred to Is dated
Dec. 'J, lb'Jl, and is as follows:
"Information from British ambassador
Indicates far moreUoss of life in Armenia,
attended with atrocities, than stated in
my telegram of tho 28th.
"I have received absolutely no Informa
tion concerning any cruelties committed
'upon citizens who have declared their in
tention to become naturalized citizens In
tills country' or upon any persons who
have n right to claim or liavo claimed for
any reason tho protection of the United
States government.
"In the iibicnco of such authentic do-
tailed knowledgo on the subject as would
justify our interference, no expostula
tions have boon addrossed by tills govern
ment to the government of Turkoy In re
gard to such matters."
The president also transmits a letter
from the Turkish minister at Washington
to the secretary of tho state a copy of a
telegram concerning ' the seditious doings
of tlio revolutionary Armenians In
Turkoy."
The minister in transmitting tho tole
grain says: "Tlio intrigues of Armenians
residing in tho Unitod fetatos; their bold
faced slanders, as well as their public on
doavors to disparage the imperial govern
ment must, 1 nm sure, have given your
excellency ovmenco of the kind of people
who in reality compose thu Armenian
colony in the United States, people who
( J)oarly ,, noqulnj a,,,,; citizenship
for the purpose of returning to Turkoy
as acknowledged by Mr. Terrell himself
ami thus propagate their revolutionary
theories, the existence ot which Is no
longer established by mere assertions but
by documents published 111 the whole pres
ot the United htntus and by lacts.
"For all these reasons tho imperial gov
ernment is placed in tlio attitude of legltl
- mate self defense, and like all constituted
, governments should never allow that re
I bcltlon to bo organized and propagated in
I any part of Its territory. I am pleased,
therefore, to hope that, In view of the grav
. lty of tlio circumstances and of tho justice
and thorough equity of tho plou which I
I hail the honor to set forth In my note of
Nov. t, 1WH, the government of the United
States, with its well known sense of im
partiality, will now tuke It under imme
diate and earnest consideration."

Tortured With Rheumatism
For Quarter of a Century.
Relief Came at Last to the Patient
Sufferer How She Was Cured.
Sarah H. Smith, Pinevllle, Bucks
county, Pa., says ! "I was a great sufferer
from rheumatism. I had the disease for
over twenty-live years, and the torture I
have undergone during the past quarter
of a century no pen could describe. Every
attack I had, my entire body was racked
with pain, and I was In a terrible condi
tion. I tried doctor pf ter doctor and every
remedy that could be suggested, but all
wun tne same result:. ioue oi tnem ever
gave me the slightest relief. I had had
the disease so long that it had become
chronlo when I began to use Munyon's
Rheumatism Cure. It was not long before
I felt a great deal better, and nfter using
It a short time the rheumatism left me.
I have not had a trace of It since, and
am convinced that I am permanently
cured."
Munvon's Rheumatism Cure Is guaran
teed to oure rheumatism in any part of
the body. Acute or muscular rheumatism
cured In from one to five days. It never
falls to cure sharp, shooting pains In the
arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or sore
ness in any part ot tne oouy in iroui one
to three hours. It Is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness, stiff andswoolen
joints, stiff back, and all pains in the hips
and loins. Chronic rheumatism, sciatica,
lumbago or pain In the back are speedily
cured.
Munvon's HomceoDathic Home Remedv
Company, of Philadelphia, put up speci
fics for nearlv everv disease, which are
sold by all druggists, mostly for 25 cents a

A Wooden llnlldlnK Which Has Keen
Treasure Iiouso For the Mlkndom
Japan possesses what Is undoutbedly tho
oldest wooden structure In the world. It
contains tho art treasures of tho mikado
ond Is situated at Kara, which for somo
years was tho Imperial residence. Tho
building is oblong In shnpo and Is built of
triangular logs of wood. It rests on piles.
Tho wood used Is of nntivo growth nnd
shows extraordinary lasting power, con
sidering tho trying climate which It has
had to endure for over 1,200 years. A pe
culiar feature nbout tho logs of which tho
building Is constructed Is that In tho parts
most exposed to tho weather tho logs nro
thinner by several Inches than those In a
more sheltered position, tho wood having
gradually worn nwny. Tho treasures
which tho storohouso contains nro of irrcnt
antiquity and havo only been seen by Eu
ropeans during tlio Inst tlireo years. Thoy
consist of rare and beautiful fabrics of
Persian, Indian, Chlnoso and Turkish
manufacture nnd nnclcnt articles of "vcr
tu" from nil parts of tho world. Among
tho objects of interest is tlio earliest known
specimen of Jnpnueso printing. Even to-
day many of tho words aro easily decipher
able. Tho treasures havo remained un
disturbed in tho samo building for 1,"00
years, and dcsplto the troublous time:
through which it has been in existence it
has never been Injured ordlsturbrd. Many
of tho treasures aro still packed up In the
storehouse chnmbor underground, where
thoy havo lain for hundreds of years, and
when they nro brought to vlow somo new
light may bo thrown upon tho early history
of tho country. They may nnd probably
will dlscloso much vnlunblo information

tho collection Is cullod from all parts of

that wo aro lndcbtod lor most of out

CAN ANTS TALK?
Another Trilmto to the Itraln Power ol
These ltcmarkable Insects.
I was ono day standing In my garden
near the trunk of an old willow tree, up
which n scattered lino ot ants was crawl
ing. After a tlmo I observed nn occasional
straggler coming down In tho opposite di
rection. Hero and thero a couple of ants,
ascending nnd descending, chanced to
meet, but thero was no stoppngo and no
talk. Presently, nt about llvofcct irom tho
ground, I smeared a littlo hollow In tlio
trunk with a largo spoonful of thick troa
clo to foo how long It would remain undis
covered. I then went nwny for u short
time, and on my return found nbout a
dozen ants busily feasting on tho treasure.
A mlnuto or two later ono of tho foastrs
crawled slowly down tho trunk with
heavy feet, and when near tho ground mot
friend, whom ho suddenly arrested on
his way up, and with his antenna), which
ho plied vigorously, held a good talk.
What was said I Know not, but tho friend
know and thoreupon marched steadily on
up tho treo to tho nowly found treasure.
Mcanwhllo tho bearer of tho good tidings
mndo his own way quickly back to tho
nest a few yards off In the grass, to which
I watched him. Ho was soon lost to view,
but beyond all doubt soon spread the news
of trensuro trovo throughout tho colony.
Within half an hour of that tlmo a long
unbroken lino of hungry nuts was march
ing direct to tho treo, making straight for
tho feast, remaining thero tor a tlmo nnd
then returning to tho nest In another lino
on tho other stdo of tho willow. This proc
ess of ascending and descending termites
went on for somo hours in fact, until
dusk when tlio numbers of advancing
guests grew less and loss and flnnlly
ceased. Before It was dark not a single,
ant was to bo seen, though early tho next
morning a fresh band of adventurers set
out In the sumo fashion, coming and go
ing nil day until overy morsel ot tho sweets
had disappeared.
Here, thcroioro, clearly somo talk of tho
surprising dainty hud taken placo between
tho two ants meeting on tho road to It,
while tidings had been carried to tho col
ony, which at onto roused nil tho Inmates
to go forth direct to tho feast, possibly led
by tho very guldo who had first discovered
it. So much for the general Intelligence
which enlightens ond guides tho whole

Ynwnlno, though contrary to tho canons
