do well if we take heed when promoting

the passage of a prohibitory Jaw for all

Canada. That the difficulties incident to

the enforcement of a probibitory law may

be overcome, we make no doubt. But let

us not go on without considering well the

means of doing so. That alcohol is pois-

oncus, and that its sale ought to be re

stricted to our drug stores, upon special

conditions, is a proposition that we have repeatedly maintained. But while our temperance workers cry eut for “ prohibition,” they ought not, to forget the difficulties incident to “ prohi-— bition.” They ought 1 to ask Parlia- ment to “ go it blind.” We say this in fall view af the abounding evil of iatem-

perance, resulting not unfrequently in the wreck of happiness and the loss of life circumstances the

the use and enforcement means of tem perance is fally as important as the agitation for pro- hibition. It may, indeed, be argued that if existing temperance laws and regula- are not carried neither will

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Mr. Hall Caine has not apparently seen in Canada many of the evidences of “dry rot” and ruin with which the N. P. is charged by Mr. Laurier and his friends. The following is a passage in one of hia recent speeches:

how Canada impressed me

“T cannot easily tell you has impressed me. It has

from the point of natural grandeur as the | most wonderful country I have seen on this continent. Its mighty forests, its

great inland seas, iis vast oceanic plains— I can neverforget them. But Canada has impressed me yet more asa commonwealth, @s lic youngest among nations. In this regard it is difficult for any exercise of the imagination to be fautastic, to be over strained, to outdo in dreams what the fut- ure may bring forth in fact. Your g eat cities that are yet to spring up out of the desert, your mighty railways that are to link ocean to ocean, your future sli‘ps that are to bridge the sea, vour fature tel- egraphs that are to abridge the land, your

materiai science thatis to conquer even the frozen territory that frowns on you from the north—nothing can affect the

imaginative mind more profoundly than these near and imminent possibilities.” —Discussing the school question the Free Press says: “ We have blamed the Ottawa Government for its remedial order, bat who can explain the long delay of the Manitoba Government in repiying to the latest communication from the federal capital on any theory consistent with a de sireto reach a speedy and satisfactory settle- ment? What other meaning can it have than a determination to prolong the dispute, to keep open the sore,in the hope that the party in power will be embarrassed to the advantage of the party seeking power? Time passing Parliament will soon meet, and Manitoba cannot desire that it

pretext

as Ww remove al! for interfertnce at Ottawa. This we cana do without offence to eur diguity and self-respect. We weed not recognize the remedial order: we can- not repudiate it, reject it, spurn it; bat, by taking action for ourselves, we can

effectually prevent Federal interference with, and Federal control over, any part of the schoool sysicm. It seems to us that this isaduty we owe to ourselves, and

after this I rudent

even more to those who are to come It is to be hoped that counsel will prevail.

THE DAILY EXAMINER

DEATH TO DEPENCELES CHRISTIANS,

An Account ef Recent Massacres—sai

Vlight of the Suarvivers,

Advices from Constantinople endorsed by the European manager of the United Press who is now there, and also by Un ted States Minister Terrel, bring ” heart

nding accounts of the recent massacres. It appears that during the month of Oc- tober, a considerable part of the Armenian districts in the provinzes of Trebizond, Erzeroum, Bitlisativan, Diar-

Harpoot, beker and Sivas has been laid waste, and a number, not yet fully known, of the Armenian inhabitants have been killed by men imtent on ¢ rushing into Impotency the Asthe awful tidings have come in by driblets, the Tark- Government has diligently telegraphed

abroad, in regard to each place, that Armenians had attacked Mussulaan’s, | thus arousing a frenzy of indignation which could not easily be controlled, but that order had been restored afier some ose of hfe. The effect of these telegrams has been to cultivate the belief that there has been some general rising of Armen

ian, and that we are inthe presence of a ealamity, which is merely the resuk lawless proceedings on the

part of Armenians themselves. Natural in

dignation with the Armenians for riving at the very moment when the reform scheme was about to be put in operation

may be moderated, when it is known that, ip to this date, the only authentic rising of Armenians has taken place at Zeitoun, in the Province of Aleppo, and tar from the scene of massacres. Moreover, in such cases as offer opportunity for examination, several circumstances cited in the Turkish lespatches as causes of the bloodshed, have been incidents, and not causes, of the massacres. Men who found them- selves assailed by the mob, and happened to have arms in their houses, in a number of cases defended their lives and their families to the lasi. At Dirabeker, where the Christians were generally armed, they made a hard fight for life, and some 1,500 Musssulmans are said to have been killed. But, aside from this one case, the de- struction of from 10,000 to 15,000 Chris- tians has not costthe Turks more tian two or three hundred lives. Proper com prehension of what has taken place, de- pends on knowledge of what went before In the latter part of September, while the powers were renewing their demand for the acceptance, by the Sultan, of the reform scheme, word began to come in from all ofthese provinces that Mussulmans were being armed, while the disarma- ment of the Christians was being pressed with great determination. In some cases the Government officials openly dis- tributed arms and ammunition to the Mus- sulman people. In some cases, Muasul- mans were found buyisg arms in the epen market, who had not the money to buy bread. It other cases, the officials sold to the Mussulmans the arms whicy they confiscated from the Christians, thus mak- ing a useful profit. At the same time te Kards of the mountainous district of Der- sim, lying between Erzingas and Harpoot, began to assemble, saying that they bad received orders from Zekik Pasha, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, to devastate the Armenian villages, taking the plunder for their pay. Whether such orders were given noone knows. They promptly began to seize the cattle and sheep of the Armenians in all the sur- rounding regions, seeming anxious to se- cure the flocks and to get them ont of harms way before the serious work began. During the early days of Otcober Turks in all the provinces openly declared that they were going to massacre the Christians. The Armenian Patriarch and some of the foreign embassies in Constantinople were overwhelmed with piteous appeals, based on blood-cuvdling threats, for protection from the Mussulmans

Terror reigned among the Armenians of the region, because they were helpless and unarmed in the midst of a seething mass of hate and fanaticism. In Erzeroum, about this time, large numbers of Mussul- man villagers, it is said, began to come into the city, eager to buy empty sacke. It was a curious fad, this passion for empty sacks. The price for gunny bags tripled. At last the Armenian dealers began to suspect some uncanny secrets be- hind the demand fur sacks. They called the attention of the officials to the matter, expressing a certain amount of anxiety. But even Shakir Pasha, the great Reform Commissioner, joined the other officials in assuring the Armenians that they had no- thing to fear. All that they needed to do was to remain quiet, and attend to their own own affairs. About the same time, again, the language of the hangers-on about the Sultan’s palace at Constapti- nople, became more and more meuacing. Many times these men repeated the statement that Eurepeans may do what they like with the counry after the Turks have done with the = Ar- menians, but that no Armenian shall prof t by the reform scheme. Anxiety in the city, and terror in the provinces, was tem- nered only by the belief thatthe Sultan would not be so blind as to permit, nor the powers so weak as to give, an opportunity tor the execution of such threats, This was the situation in the court when, on the 20th of October, the reform scheme, signed in due form, was haaded ever to the ambassadors. The next day the Ar- menian clergy of the city of Erezing called on Z-kik Pasha, the military com- mander, and begged for protection from the Mussulmans, who were preparing to massacre them, The Pasha assured them that they were perfectly safe, and sent them back to their homes. Tiey had hardly reached their houses when, all over the city, at once, as if acting on a preconcerted sig- oal, Turks began to kill Armenians, and and to plunder their honses and shops, {vu Erezing and its villages, from fifteen hun- dred to two thousand Armenians were killed, all the shops were rifled, and a great number of houses shared the same fate.

These scenes of horror were repeated during the next ten days in a dozen or more cities and an untold number of vil- lages, in ali of the six provinces. Erze- roum found out, on the 30th of October, what those empty sacks were wanted for. They were wanted to carry the loot from the Armenian quarters of the city to the surrounding country. A region of 60,600 equare miles in area, from Trebizond to Diarbeker, and from the Russian frontier at Erzeroum to Bivas, has been given up to massacre and pillage. Only those places,

like Van, have so far been spared, in which the Armenians, being in & proportion of more than one

to four or five Turke, might be expected to offer resistance to massacre. This re- gion is full of crushed and ruined families, on the one hand, and on the other of hordes of ribald plunderers gleefully dividing the spoil now unhindered by the law. Only meagre returns have as yet come in, but

tered throughout the country, full statis- jtics will not be possible for monthe. . Killed in Killed in

A survey of the wretched people who were not killed gives the following partie ulars of their condition. All trade is broken up, all agriculture in the devastat- ed districts is blotted out, stock has been carried off and the implements generally burned. A i the poor semblaace vf manu facturing industries in these districts has been wiped out. At least,iu numbers of cases, the ruflians wox delight in destroy ing machinery which they could not use or carry away to rell. Thousands of houses and shops have been barned. Every house or shan plundered was utter- ly emptied. As every eye w tness has ex- pressed it they did not leave so much asa bent pin in the shops. The first care of the robbers, after seizing the money and goods, was to destroy all papers, ac count books and notes of hand, so that the merchants might not be able lJater on to claim payment for debt previously ineur- red.. The peapleswho escaped, when their houses were attacked, fled in snch clothes asthey chanced to have on, and in some cases even that was taken from them. All their stores of food, painfully accumulated for the winter, as is the custom in the rural districts in Turkey, have been carried away. ‘These thousands of wretched creatures, bereaved, and despoil- ed, and despairing, vow face the pitiless winter (for on those lofty highlands of Ar- menia the winter is pitiless), and faint at the contemplation of what is before them. Great numbers of them are dependent on charity for food to save them fom the death to which the malice of their neigh- bors now seems to have deomed them. But when a whole population is thus smitten, how long can local charity sup- port them? Where can they go; what can do? In the midst of such desolation, how can the men earn their daily bread? An appeal is made to American charity in their wehalf.

” Last year’s splendid Christmas ‘patron- age, and since then our buying gat the Bazaar Store, thus doubling our accom- modations, has greatly stimulated our efforts for this Xmas season.

IN JUNE LAST

one of our partners visited in New York the agents of the leading German, Freach and English manufacturers of Toys and Fancy Goods, and spent six days making selections for the Xpias trade of 1995. The goods then selected have since arrived (direet to us from Europe), and most of them are now opened up. Besides this we have sorted up from Canadian travel- lers the nicest and newest articles in their stocks. It is only sober trnth to say that no such stock of goods suitable for Xmas Presents has ever before been seen in this city. We can suit almost everybody, those who want fine and expensive pre- sents as well as those who wish a lot. of nice things for a small price. Everybody las an interest in our stere, especially the little people. All are welcome to come and see where Santa Claus is going te get his present.
