It is, perhaps, a mere rumor that Mr, Gladstone will seek an opportunity to Te-enter "parliament not as -a party representative, but simply because of the persecuted Armenians but it may well be that it ia his desire to lead a movement for the relief and protection of those who are suffering martyrdom. There is, most surely, a vacancy waiting to be filled in that situation, and we can easily conceive the disquiet and indig nation with which he will regard the refage of lies which the present premier of the English government is setting forth as his trust and hope. Lord SaliS' bury pretends to give credit to the sul. tan for his promises to reform, and then 'when be docs not carry tbein out says he never pledged England to fight the saltan, "if he did not govern well But the truth is that under the treaty of Berlin, England did become absolutely responsible to the world to see to it : ii'et, ibat Kussia did not occupy Turkey, and second, that Turkey did not oppress the Armenian Chiistians; and England has leceived her pay in Cy prus. Lord Salisbury says that time must be given to the sultan to enforce , the reforms he has promised. It is an insult to the intelligence of the world savage or civilized, to talk thus. Time tt enforce the reform of stopping the horrors the report of which no one has the nerve to read in full ! To say, as was said recently by a gentleman with in our hearing, that . the Armenian Christians are only comparable with Warm Spring Indian Christians, is not to touch the question at all. It is not true. We do not need to go to Armenia to find that out; but it has nothing to do with the question if it were true, Those who have visited the Armenian colony in Fresno, or have met any of the many representatives of that race who are seeking the means of higher education in American school or college, know that this comparison is wholly misleading. Bat it has 'nothing what ever to do with the question. A Warm Spring Indian, even without the meas ure of civilization to which he may have attained, is entitled to absolute protec tion of life and property by his suzerain government. As we Baid six months ago, we repeat: - "Oh! for an hour of Cromwell." The adding ot Quay to the list of can didates for the Republican nomination makes it time for someone to move that the nominations be closed. Boss Piatt may be proposed next or Joe Simon. While no one takes Quay's candidacy seriously the mention of his name in connection with the presidency is a trav esty upon that high office. Politics, as now conducted, makes bosses a neces sary evil, but men like Quay and Piatt should be taught to keep within proper limitations. .. "'."."' Ex-Consul Waller will be released by xhe French government, and the United States agreea to ask no indemnity in his "behalf. Our government is convinced from the study of the evidence, so far as it has been furnished, that Waller was justly convicted, and Secretary Ol ney says his offense was "willful and culpable." . It is not at all in his favor that he bad previously been convicted, .-as now is learned, by a consular court, of very serious offenses. Waller may well be grateful that he gets off as well as be does. - " The closing of the abattoir at Linnton is another slap at the horse. Living or dead, in cans or packages of fertilizer, he is without a place in the estimation of man. There seems nothing to do bat for the horse to retire from business and consider his usefulness over. FRUIT AS A MEDICINE. ' More Virtue In a Basket or Berries A nan In a Whole Drug Store. Very few people are aware of: the medicinal qualities of grapes; but these they possess. The pulp is nutritious, and the juice contains sugar, tannic acid,' bitartrate of potassium, tartrate cf calcium, common salt and sulphate of potassium. Without doubt, says Scientific American, the woman who cultivates the habit of eating- a great deal of fruit is the gainer of health and appearance. The grapefruit, or shad dock, so called from its discoverer, Lieut. Shaddock, or, to mention its soft Chinese name, pumelo, is highly prized by those who live in malarial localities. It is a charming rival to quinine and; boneset, and is driving them from the field. She who eats her grapefruit with a spoon irom tne natural cup, or rel ishes it served as a salad, may gladden her heart with the reflection that she is not only pleasing her palate, but benefiting her health. Like oranges and lemons, the grapefruit has great medicinal virtues. If you are of a bil ious temperament eat grapefruit; if fever threatens, eat grapefruit, but in this latter case do so only at the advice cf a physician, as there may be certain tendencies which the grapefruit would only aggravate. The complaint is often made that the fruit is extremely.bitter and unpleasant. It is only the white inner rind which is so, and this should be carefully removed. THE COMING FAD. A Woll-Known Woman Thinks Her Sex Will Drive. Mrs. John Stetson, of Boston, thinks that driving will be the chief amuse ment of the coming woman. She be lieves that the new woman, as well as the old-fashioned woman, can find few things in her life more enjoyable than a spin behind a good horse or team, and that, if she holds the reins herself, she will quickly learn that it adds immeas urably to her pleasure. The exhilarating effect of the swift action, the bracing air filling the lungs and sending the blood dancing through the veins, the trout-like pull on the lines that communicates to the reins wcman something of the spirit of her horses, the absorbing interest felt in overcoming the little difficulties of the road, in negotiating abrupt turns and in meeting and passing other vehicles well, there's nothing like it, accord ing to this enthusiastic horsewoman, end if it is an "old woman" who started en tn (inve she will come iicme a 'tttt :cr.r.n" physically. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two" bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completelv cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from' a dreadful cold, approach ing Consumption, tried without reeult everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured, lie is naturally thank ful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of t his medicine in Coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at Blakeley & Houghton's Drue Store.
