Commenitlng on President Cleveland tardlnesa In appolrJBlntr a commissioner to join with European powers In mat in? invent I Ration a regarding the report ed Armenian outrages, the New York Tribune says: The United Stall ea does not propose to become the "seventh European pow or." It has no denlre to meddle with the Berlin treaily of 1878, nor in any way to become Involved In tire Old World poV ilths. Even without the present ex tnaordJnary caution of th BtOittfmian who only the other day wia lntrlgueing Vr the retftortiltlon 1 of tha Haiwulliui ttum'aifehy and offensively Mustering agulinMlt Japani, there would be no dan ger of our Joining the Triple Alliance cr se-Wng (territorial ag-gituidlzement In Central Aada.

"Man," LoweJl Bald '.'Is more than comfll tuitions;" more, too, than trea'tlle and red tape. And when atrocities are committed wWoh make the Mood of the world run oold, (t can not be lanviss for this gvvertrmit to wake some Inquiry and some express Blon of Its sentiments regurdlinff them. 6uu.i, Indeed, has hitherto teen our policy under more tluui one admlnMna lon. When, In 1840, the Jews of Da- miasous wet's being sorely persecuted on aowount of their rellg'lon, the secre . tory of stalte, Mr. FoinyrJh, promptly inatrmtted our charge d'affailrs at Con Mfantlnoplo to Interpose Ms gwjd offlct in theilr Wialf; not because there wei-e any Amarloan citizens among1 them, but 'because they were being lll-treultjed and oppressed, and because uimong their kindred were to be found aome of the most worthy and paitrlotilo of our cdtl- Kens. AgaJn, In 1872, whan almllar perse- outlons wore Waged against Ithe Jews of Wallaivla and Moldaivlo, Mr. Fish, scc .rotary of stuito, Indtrucited Mr. Curtin, mlnlntor at St, I'tUerwburg, to express Ito the Russian government the sympa thy felt here for the oppressed, In or dur ithiiit that g'overnmenit milghlt be moved 'Ho dlsoh'a'rge its duty as ft pro.

True, an said Mr, Flub, ithe United StoJtes was nolt a par ly ito tluat itrenty, and had no wish to 'IMorfiTe In publla affaJra In thut part of the woi-ld. Hut he grtevanca was so Krwait as to be tot.moiolitan In charac ter, wnd to kutertist all countries In lu redress. There lore Other Blmllar cases in our clplomaitlo lilntory, and they ore credit iUble to us a a olvlllzeii nation.
