AT THE MERCY OF THE TURKS. Fathers and Brothers no Pro- tection to the Women of Armenia. From the Assoclated Press Correspondent in Armenia. Van, June 3.—The prison of Van, where the Armenian prisoners are confined, is located under the shadow of the city wall and at a point where the ground is so low as to receive the drainage of the rest of the city. Like the rest of the buildings ef the city it is built of sun-dried bricks laid in the mud. The prison is only a one story building, and with no pro- visions for keeping it dry. The inner prison consists of six long, narrow rooms, three on each side of a common passageway into which they open. Each room is about 12 feet wide and from 30 te 40 feet long, has two windows at the outer end and two small win- dows anda door at the inner end opening into the passage. During the last winter from thirty to forty men were crowded in each of the rooms, sleeping on the floor, a row along each wall, so that if their feet were a little more than ordinarily extended the two rows would inter- fere with each other. Sometimes there are twenty-two men in each row, allowing only about 18 inches for each person. The five small celis mentioned are damp, dark and entirely unwarmed for winter. A prisoner, Karakeen Pagepestcan by name, was kept in one of these cells 14 consecutive months, with foot fetters all the time and with hand and neck fetters much of the time. Afterwards he was removed to one of the inner cells, which are even worse, and where he now is. He was flogged on an average of once a day. Apart from the actual butchery of Sasun, the most painful feature of the Armenian situation is the posi- tion of the Armenian women. One cannot investigate this phase of the subject without feelings of rage and horror over the insults and out rages to which these poor creatures are subjected. After the most care- ful personal inquiry, the correspond- ent is able to state that in hundreds of villages in Amenia there is hardly one woman, old or young, who is not from time to time made the vic- tim of the passions of the Kurds and Turks. In all the villages of Armenia the Christian women, both old and young, are absolutely at the mercy of their Kurdish and Turkish meighbors. This is not the case in the larger cities of Van, Bitlis, Moush and Erzeroum, because in these cities the large Amenians are in a majority and protect the women, but in the villages where the Armenians are in the minority pro- tection is not possible, and the wo- men are at the beck and call of any Turk or Kurd who happens to take a fancy to them. Moreover, this state of things is said to be well known tothe Turkish government. It is the custom of the government to sell to the high- est bidder the tax privileges of the various villages, the purchaser hav- ing the right to eollect all of the taxes fromthe people. In many cases the number of yourg Arme- nian women in a vi:lage has a great deal to do with the price paid for the tax privilege; it is no uncommon thing for the auctioneer to call out in the market places so that all may hear that so many girls are available in the village. When a man has purchased the tax privilege of a vil-| lage, he considers that he has also bought and paid for the women of the village, and any attempt on the part of the husbands, brothers or the Armenian men object to this| treatment of their women they are| beaten and driven from the village, | and, in many cases, killed. | The tax farmer is able to make an | extra proft out of his village by renting out to his friends among | the Turks and Kurds the privilege of making use of such womer es he does not want fer his own use, and Kurds who cannot afford to pay for this privilege contents themselves with taking the women by force when the owner of the village is not present. The women who suffer the most are the brides.

The New Campaign of Education. New York World. The first campaign of education on the tariff was one of argument. it carried the country for reform, had no practical effect becaus a Re- publican Senate blocked the way. The present campaign of educa- tion is one of experience—the best schoolmaster. Logic may fail to convince, sophistries may deceive, eloquence may beguile, but obkject- lessons instruct. Hard acts are not easily got over. The country is see- ing for itself the operations and ef fects of a high tariff reformed in part, and the demonstration is more effective than all the speeches that were ever made or all the articles that were ever written. ; Wool was made free, as it was for forty years in this country and has always been in evry other man- ufacturing country in the world. The duties on woolen manufactures were correspondingly reduced. Are the farmers ruined? Are our woolen mills given over to the owls and the muskrats? Have wages gone down to the “pauper level of Europe? Quite the contrary. Within a fortnight there has been an average rise in the price of wool of two cents apound. The price of sheep is in- creasing. Idle mills have started up on full time. Thirty-eight new fac tories were contracted for in the first six months of this year against only seventeen in the same period last year. The wages of woolen opera- tives have been voluntarily increased from 10 to 12 per cent. And the people are getting more and better and cheaper clothing. The duties on iron ore and on coal were reduced nearly one-half. The iron industry has not been so flour- ishing in years as it to-day, and wages in it have everywhere advanc- ed. Tin ore was made free and the duty on tin plates reduced one-half. The industry is increasing and pros periog as never before. The duties on cottons were re- duced. Seventy-three new mills were built or contracted for during the first half of this year The great factories are running full time with increased wages. The Evening Post of Monday print ed a list of fifty manufacturing establishments, embracing some of the largest in the country, in which wages were reduced or work stopped within a year after the McKinley act went into effect, and in which wages have been increased from 10 te 15 per cent in the first year of the new tariff. The World's lists have shown increases affecting 350,000 workmen since the Ist of April. It can be safely said that the new campaign ef education ie educating. Kentucky Democratic Campaign. Louisville, Ky., July 14.—As a re- sult of a conference between the State Central Committee, the Demo. cratic nominees for State offices and prominent Democrats frem all parts of the State the campaign will be fought out squarely on the platform laid down by the Democratic State Convention. There was no encour- agement for the suggestion to keep the currency question out of the campaign. Senator Blackburn de- clared that he proposed to stand on the platform, and to give it his own construction, which was that it re- affirms only the platform of 1992. | Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, The Best Salve inthe world for Cuts Bruises,Sores, Ulcers,SaltRheum Fever Sores, Tetter,Chapped Hands, Chiblains Corns, sind all Skin Eruptions, and posi- fathers to resent this interpretation | tively cures Piles, or no pay required. of the law is looked upon as high is guaranteed to give pertect satisfaction or money refunded.

The tendency of prices abroad, as shown by the monthly averages on imported articles, is still downward. Out of twenty leading articles six- teen show a decrease, while four show an increase. Of course such statistics do not accurately represent the market, and are reliable only to indicate a general tendency. The condition of our markets, as measured both by iron and silver, is an improving one. Silver was worth 66 cents a fine ounce at the close of June this year, as against 60 cents at the close of last Decemeber. As one school of economist measures the market by iron, and another by silver, both ought to be satisfied with the outlook.—New York World. What They are Worth. Jefferson City, Mo., July 11.—The State Board of Equalization held a short session to-day for the valuation of railroad property.

Three Pension Decisions, Washington, July 16.—Assistant Secretary Reynolds has rendered three decisions in pension appeal cases. In the first he holds that while the commissioner of pensiors is forbidden by law to suspend pay- ment of a pension pending proceed- ings to annul or reduce it, neverthe- less, in case such pension is annulled all unpaid pension apparently accru- ed at the date of annulment becomes illegal and must not be paid. In the sezond case the secretary holds that the law forbidding the commissioner to reduce pensions without thirty days’ notice does not apply to cases acted on before its passage. In the third case it is held that, as the act pensioning the children of a soldier, whe are under 16 years of age, expressly provides that the pensions shall begin frem the date of the application of the pensien, the claimant who was over 16 years old when the act was passed has no claim for a pension at all. Washingtoa, July 16 —Advices to the surgeon general of the Marine hospital service are to the effect that there were twenty new cases of yel- low fever in Havana during the week ending July 11, and eight deaths. There is a slight increase. For the week ending July 5, there were twenty-five deaths from yellew fever in Santiago De Cuba, and for the week ending July 4, nine deaths from this disease at Vera Cruz, Mexico. Ingalls Leses a Farm. Atchison, Kan., July 18.—John J. Ingalls has lost a farm. He owned one near Kickapoo, and recently had achance to dispose of it. He took the buyer down to see it, expiating upon its desirable qualities, and when he got there he couldn't find the farm. It had been washed into the river five years ago. And all during that five years he had been paying taxes on it. What's thejUse ot Talking, About colds and coughs in the sum- mertime.

The Missouri share of the bridge was assessed at $125,- 000, and the road, of which there is a fraction less than a mile, at $10, 000. Other roads were practically left at the old assessment, and many of them were pussed without any formal action. On account of sharp competition and decreased earnings, the mileage value of the Kansas City, Oceola and Southern, 111 miles, was reduced from $6,000 to $5,000. It is probable that the Kansas City Suburban Belt line, fourteen and one half miles, will be increased. It’s present assessment is $20.000 per mile. Save Your Notes. Section 7094 of Revised Statutes of Missouri of 1889, and amended March 27 1893, was again amended andapproved April 9, 1895. Fol- lowing is the gist of the amendment. “In case satisfaction be acknowl- edged by the payee or assignee, or in case a full deed of release is offer- ed for record, the note cr notes secured shall be produced and can- celled in the presence of the record- er, who shall enter that fact on the margin of the record and attest the same with his official signature, and no full deed of release shall be given unless the note or notes are so pro- duced and cancelled, and that fact entered on the margin and attested as above provided.” It further provides that when the notes cannot for any reason be pre- duced, the payee, asignee or person executing the dead of release shall make affidavit that he is the lawful owner and that the same have been paid. This enactment went into effect June 23. = Little Henry Pearson, of Cali- fornia, Mo., «went swimming the other Sunday and hada real good time.

July 18—Deacon | Oldham,a prominent Baptist church- | man, on trial for stage robbery, was today sentenced to twelve years in Folsom prison.

The Sigus are Auspicious. | The largest corn crop this coun- | try has ever produced was in 1889, | ;when the yield was 2,112,892,000 jbushels. The government crop jreport estimates this year’s yield at | 2,353,000,000, or more than 140,- | 000,000 above the best record ed estimate of the wheat crop is 408,-/ 000,000, though well informed ex- perts believe that the harvest will ishow 30,000,000 bushels more than | that amount. The Modern Miller of this town estimates that witkout regard to supply or prices from other sources Europe will take 125,000,000 bush- els of our wheat, which will leave a little more than 300,000.000 bushels for home consumption. That will be ample to guarantee from hunger, but not sufficient to put the price down to the iow figure reached last year. In other words, wheat will command a fair price between this and the harvest of 1896. The potato crop is reported in ex- cellent condition also. The govern- ment bureau estimates that it will exceed either the crop of last year or the year before by 50 per cent. With these encouraging reports there are reasons for the people of this country to look foward hopeful- ly. All signs point to plenty and prosperity next year, and those things mean Democratic victory.— K. C.
