The new bonds will run thirty years, which Is equivalent to saying that they will Insure Republican supremacy for at least that length of time.

It Is useless to expect foreign countries to increase their purchases of our farm products as long as Democratic rule en. ables them to buy our bonds on better terms than they can get those of any other nation. A t avorablk report was ordered yes terday on the bill to forfeit the lands granted In aid of the construction of the Pacific railways, in accordance with the terms of the law under which he assistance was given, that in case of default of payment of the bonds, "the roads with all the rights, and also with all the lands granted by the United rStare, may be taken possesion of by the .Secretary ol the Treasury for the use and and benefit of the United States." There is small probability 'that anything will 09 done with this bill or xny of the others relating to the debt of the roads, by the present Congress. The amount ot the bonds beginning to tall 4e is more than $01,000,000. The govern tment hud a first mortgageon the property, but accepted a second in order that the companies might raise money to let them ut of a hole years ago. The holders of -he first have entered suit to foreclose zud collect their claims. Several plans ia e been proposed to secure the govern Extent, One U for it to buy the first mort gage bonds and take the property. An other is to extend the time ot payment to Jftf years, and accept a mortgage on all the property of the company, including lines with a mileage of 7,000 miles. Every plan as opposed by some interest, mid none will be adopted by this Congress There is cxaly one alternative for the government take the roads or lose an enormous sum. It is certain that they will never pay the debt so long as they remain in private bands. iVuether they could be made to pay it when operated by the government I a question.

About Foreign Flags. The sensitivities of some peoplo aro just too tender for anything. Here now is Colorado, whoso legislature has gono and passed n law prohibiting tho flying of any foreign (lag in that stato except over tho consular houses of other na tions. This was a full silly thing to do. A few years ago a party of American tourists were going up tho River Rhino on tho steamboat Kalsor Wilhelm. At ono point thoy rounded a bluff, when suddenly from tho most prominent point of tho grounds of a beautiful villa on tho hill abovo the shore there burst upon their delighted viow a handsome Amer ican flag, gracefully floating in tho brcezo from tho top of a tall flagpole. A glad and mighty cheer burst from tho throats of nil thoso patriotic Americans. It was liko a mossago from homo. Tho simple story was that au American citi 7. en had built a villa on the Rhine, a magnificent one it was, erected by means of American dollars. Ho loved his own country so that ho kept tho stars and stripes flying from tho peak of tho hill always. If the emperor of Gormany could put up with this, certainly tho American republic ought to allow citi zens of other nations residing tempora rily among us to fly tho flags of their re spective native lands. And whether ovor picnio grove or upon an excursion steamer, nothing is more piotnresquo than the sight of a brilliant array of tho flags of all nations. Besides that, suoh a display would be an object lesson to school ohildreu in learning what the flans of other countries are like. All this istnado impossible under that Colo rado law. Repeal it In a civilized community when any gang of roughs infract tho lay? and com init outrages of violence tho community rises and suppresses them. In pioneer countries thoy are triod by the sum mary process of lynch law. In any case thoy aro suppressed oneway or another. As with civilized communities, so it is with civilized nations. When a peoplo, even a savage people, commit outrages on humanity, suoh as murder, enslave' mont and torture, tho civilized nations rise and inflict punishmont on tho sav' ngos guilty of suoh foul barbarity. Tho savages aro forced to accopt the rule of a civilized government strong enough to seo to it that tho outragos nro not ro- pooted at any time. Judged by this un written law of nations, Turkey must go. She lias forfeited her right to bo considered as a nation. Sho is rv relio of barbarism in the midst of civilization There is no reason why sho should ex lit longer not one. Let Russia havo her aud welcome. There are 0,760,000 men available for military service in this oountry. Of these 110,881) belong to the national guard. Thore is not n oountry in ohr ilization outside of the United States that oon furnish suoh an nrmy with the single oxception of Russia. This was what Gladstone thought of whon some ten years ago he wroto predicting tho power tho United States would attain in future. Ono of tho host paying books of the nineteenth century is "Alice In Won dorland," which adroitly pretends to bo written for young peoplo, but which hits grown people oxuotly botween the tyos. It is oasy enough to noconnt for the drain of American gold to Europe. It goes out to fill the pookots of paupei noblemen who marry American heir' osses.

Glvlntr Out a Cholera ltcjiort nnd Uunrnntlne About tho Scrno Masvnrm Armenian Wltne I'lnclne of tho Not to be Ilclleved Under Oatli. LONDON, Fob. 32. Tho spoclal corres pondent of tho Associated Pros who wns sent out from London to Armonla to In vestigate ns to the atrocities said to have been perpetrated upon tho Armenians, and whoso first report, In n letter sont from TIllls, Russia, was received hcrcl on the 2d Inst, nnd cabled to tho United States that day. has mndo a second report. This, like tho Unit one, was posted at TIllls. It is dated Jan. 18. In it tho correspondent says: In tho lottor 1 wroto ten days ago I on delivered to convoy some Idea of tho diffi culties that would bo oncountorcd in prosecuting nuy sort of Investigation or gutting at tho real facts of tho case. That I did not exaggerate theso difficulties will now bo apparent from further Informa tion on tliq point which I am In a po sition to supply. TatcO, to begin 'wlth.tho cholera quarantine which ls.bp.lng enforced in such a manner as to draw a not around tho districts ot Armenia In which tho atrocities nre alleged to hnvo occurrcd.nnd to keep away from the scene of tho out rages nil lndepondcut lnvostlgntors. It certainly is n peculiar circumstance that cholera should hnVe happened to break out at this season of tho year in tho region of the SassoUn and uowhero olso In Asln Minor. Even In Constantinople ami Stamboul little or nothing Is known by the publio or by newspnper correspondents concerning the cholera outbreaks olllclnlly reported from tlmo to tlmo In thoso cities. It Is pretty thoroughly understood that quarantino law Is tho highest law on earth, and that even International courtesy must bow to it. So, whon wo aro told that nu epidemic of cholera has suddenly mndo Its appeaninco in tho region of the Sassoun massncro even n blind man can see thnt It Is meant to dolny and obstruct tho work of tho Turkish commission of Inquiry. It is bellovcd hero that tho Turks, lorced to the wall by tho protests of the foreign delegates onthocominlsslon.throw up this last obstruction and hoisted tho yellow flag upon It. No Information has been vouchsafed ns to tho form in which tho cholera epidemic has manifested Itself In tho Snssoun mountains. Ono Is forced to bellovo that It is raging among tho rocks and moun tain peaks like a snowstorm, for", as a matter of fact, thero aro no human be ings in tho Sassoun mountains nt the present time for any sort of dlseaso to feed upon. Those who were not killed in the massacre have long since fled to other parts of tho country, and those who did not havo sense enough to flee have been clapped Into jail. Of course, there are mnny persons In nnd around Moosh who know what took place In tho Snssoun mountains last autumn, and a good, effec tive cholera quarantino will prevent them from ccttlug at the commission or tho commission from getting at them. It is argued thnt If tho Turks have suc ceeded In repairing tho damages to the Snssoun villages, there Is no reason why the commission should Hot bo allowed to visit tho sconoot tho massacre and flounder nbout' In ton feet of snow If It cared for I that sort of thing, but tho refusal of the I Turks to allow any one to travel through , the Snssoxm country, and tho timely qunr antlno, suggost that tho money sont to ro build tho destroyed villages has been stolon, or that tho snow was so deep bo fore thoy arrived that nothing could be done. I In that case the bodies of the butchered ! Christians nro lying unburied under tho snow. The Turks will tuuo good cure that thoy reach tho scene tlrst in tlo spring and cloar away all traces ot the massacre boforo indignant Christianity insists upon sending in nn independent investigating commission. The Turk are reasonably safe until April, and by that tlmo their marvellous ingenuity may find a way out of the difficulty. Even without tho cholera quarantino It would bo practically Impossible for tho commission to make nuy real headway until spring, owing to tho Intense cold nnd the groat amount of snow In Armenia, Tho situation may bo judged to somode greo by tho fact that the roads to Ecrlvan and Kars, in Russia, which rirp In a much lower altitude, huve been for more than a fortnight blocked with snow. It tho dotuiled facts of tho Snssoun mas sacro aro over established, and thoy prob ably nover will bo, thoy must bo estab llshed Independently of Armenian tostl mony, or their vnluo may bo seriously questloued. Every Armenian with whom it has been my lot to como in contact seems to have a very vague idea of tho value of accuraoy and-truth, nnd in his anxiety to make out u case against the Turk he Is willing to publish as facts-any grotesquo rumor that ho may chaqco to fall over lu tho street. He does not really know what actually took plaoe In the i Sajsoun mountains, but his vanity will I not permit him to acknowledge It, and so, I to help along the cause of his peoplo, he omlielltshes tho rumor that he hears, and , frequently says thut he U In secrect com munication with friends in Moosh and Mltlis who ure harboring Saseoun refugees. In this way, while meaning to do good to the cause of hit people, he really does harm, for he effectually destroys his own value as a witness. Tho fact la greatly to bo regretted that In this matter the aver age Armenian cannot lie lielleved on oath. Murdert-il for Klcldng a Dog. Charleston, AV. V., Fob. U8.
