Women thould go to men when they
need help and the latter visit tho for

Where the heart la right there Is
true patriotism This was said long
ago but It Is a sound sentiment for
this day and country
Man wants but llttlo hero below
So ran an ancient rhyme
Its different now ho wants tho earth
And wants It all the time
Famo Is something of slow and
steady growth while notoriety comes
and goes with the rapidity of flashlight
advertisements of patent medicines
Men do not havo half tho aliments
that aflllct women but a visitor from
u strange world would not suspect tho
fact by merely coming hero to listen
Anarchist Mowbray says that mu-
sic propagates anarchy Mr Mow
bray evidently has heard a llttlo Ger-
man band Inciting to riot In front of a
saloon
In Switzerland where women do all
of the vorlt In the hayfields there are
probably few grass widows But there
may be rothlng but grass widows there
for all wo know
King Humbert lias signed a treaty
giving to King Menellk Abyssinian
territory which Mcncllk always owned
and Italy couldnt steal Such mag-
nanimity is surprising
A Boston paper suggests that tho ne-
groes aro entitled to representation In
tho cabinet Thero can be no doubt
that many cabinet rumors nowadays
aro altogether too highly colored any-
way
A campaign word that has done duty
In this country for moro than half a
century Is roorback It means a flc
Jllon concocted Id one political party
in the hope of Injuring another party
and designed to be put forth so lato
that there will not be sufficient time
before election day for counteracting
any Injurious effect that it may have
Tho origin of tho word was in tho
name ofaflctltious Baron Roortechr
thestory off whoso supposed travels
was part of tho campaign literature of
the year 1844 Tho roorback is not a
potent weapon nowadays Indeed it
Is pleasant to know that the roorback
is sometimes a comeback a boome-
rang
A Norwegian boy was too poor to get
a university education but this fact did
not dlscourago him He was deter-
mined to learn and to make good use
of what he learned When eighteen
years of ago ho became an itinerant
teacher Ho had a tasto and talent for
philological work In time he had made
a nanio by vhat ho published What
ho did for tho Norwegian language re-
ceived tho praise of scholars and tho
gratitude of his countrymen This son
of poor peasants died recently at the
age of eightythree and his fame as a
lexicographer and poet Is secured This
example of an Intelligent determina-
tion to triumph over hindrances and to
make the most of ones self is worth
much to tho world There Is such a
thing as making opportunity as tho
life of Ivar Aasen finely shows
Tho commissioner general of Immi-
gration in his annual report shows that
during tho last fiscal year tho arrivals
of Immigrants in tils country aggro
gated 343207 of T hom 340408 wore
landed and 2799 wero debarred and do
ported at tho expense of tho various
steamship lines by which they came
Of thoso deported 770 wero found to bo-
Under contract to perform labor In
tho United States made prior to their
arrival and 2033 were returned as be-
longing to other prohibited classes In
addition to tho number debarred thero
wero 238 who became public charges
within a year after thoir arrival and
henco were returned to tho countries
whence they came Tho commissioner
general states that ho knows of no im-
migrant landed in this country during
tho last year who is now a burden upon
any public or privato institution With
some exceptions the report says tho
physical characteristics of the years
Immigration wero thoso of a hardy
sound laboring class accustomed and
apparently well able to earn a liveli-
hood wherever capable and industrious
labor can secure employment As to
occupations it was composed largely
of the classes designated as skilled and
Unskilled laborers with some profgp
blonals Thojimount of money brought
Into the countVy by immigrants was at
least 4917318lind probably was large-
ly in excess of these figures
WANTS AN APOLOGY
THE SULTAN OF TURKEY DE-
MANDS SATISFACTION
rrosulent Cleveland Culled to Account fop
the Language JIo Used In Ills MosAiieo
About tho Massacro of tho Armenians
Sulcldo by Uub
Now York Dec 12 A Washington
special says
President Cleveland has been called
to account by the eultan of Turkey
This protest was made Thursday by
tho Turkish government against the
languago used In tho presidents mes
sago to congress respecting the massa
cro of the Armenians and the general
conduct of tho government toward the
Christians In tho empire
The situation Is said to threaten
tiouble In the diplomatic relations be-
tween tho United States and Turkey
Moustapha Bey the Turkish minister
It Is rumored at the state department
has intimated that if some amends aro
not made by the president ho will bo
obliged to ask for his passports and
return to Constantinople
The deep displeasure of the sultan
was made known to Secretary of State
Olney by the Turkish minister In ac-
cordance with a cablegram rccleved by
him from his homo government
The interview between tho minister
and secretary of state is described a3
exceedingly Interesting and somewhat
exciting Moustapha Bey began by
stating that his government had In-
structed him to make an immediate
and emphatic protest against the
harsh and unjust language used by the
president in his public utteiances con-
cerning a power with which tho United
States sustained friendly diplomatic
jolatlons
This was accusing President Cleve-
land of a diplomatic discourtesy but
tho minister made It still moro serious
by stating that tho sultan regarded
Presidents Cleveland message as the
argument of an advocate In that he
presented only ono side of the case
although he possessed complete infor-
mation regarding the other or Turk-
ish side which had been officially com-
municated to him
The minister also called attention to
various grievances that his government
entertains against citizens of the
United States Ho said that they had
libeled the sultan and abused the
Turkish government and been allowed
to do so unreprlmanded by the presi-
dent although some of them vere
public officers
Complaint was also made against
American missionaries in Turkey who
wore charged with inciting tho Armen
ian9agaln5tthefruTklsh government
and with aiding them by assisting In
concealing the manufacture of dyna-
mite bombs In Christian churche3
It i3 said that Moustapha Boy pre-
sented what tho Turkish government
regards as proof of thoso charges and
that they aTe now on filo in tho depart-
ment Among thoso accused aro Dr
Cyrus Hamlin the wellknown Con-
gregational minister and Drs Dwlght
and Washburn of Roborts colic In

der tho pastorato of Rev Dr C O

cribed to brooding over tho coldness

Deny Mticcng Death
Now York Dec 12A Key West
special says
Privato Havana advices flatly deny
tho Spanish report that Maceo is dead
They say the Spanish troops under
Cirujeda wero subjected to humiliat
ing defeat and lost onethird of his
force Rebels pursued him to tho out-
skirts of the town
Neighboring paclflcos seen said tho
Insurgents were commanded by Serafln
Sanchez whom Spanish reports killed
last month in Santa Clara province
adding that If Maceo were with tho
party tho fact was kept quiet
Thojnost Important Cubans inJHa
a natsyrdpatElzlngr aidlng of abetting
tho revolution disbelieve the story of
Macros death They admit his entry
Into Havana province and beliove that
ho forced the trocha in response to an
order from Gomez to assume command
of tho operations in the center and re-
organize the insurgent force In Hava-
na Mantanzas and Santa Clara prov-
inces
Another fact proving that the truth
Is not In the Spanish dispatches about
Maceo Is that a correspondent was re-
fused all Information as to hfs body
A subordinate Spaniard explained it
in this way Maceo Is seriously
wounded was belnc conducted east
probahly to tho principle hospital ot
tho Cubans In Clenoga de Zapta for
safety The escort was attacked by
Spanish forces under Major Clenaya
and the wounded chief was captured
and killed
Corujeda attempted to return to
Punta Brava with the corpse when
rebel relnforcernents attacked them on
tho road rescuing the body
This explanation sounds moro prob-
able than tho story given out at the
palace
