MORE TROUBLE FOR THE TURKS Insolence of Sultan Arouses Ire of Uncle Sam. BATTLESHIPS DISPATCHED Oar European Squadron is Ordered to Smyrna to Menace Ottoman Government. A Washington dispatch says: The European squadron has been ordered to Turkish waters. The orders were cabled to Rear Ad miral Jewell, commander of the squad ron at Nice. His ships are the Olym pia, Baltimore and Cleveland. It is understood that he will proceed to the eastern Mediterranean somewhere near the Black Sea. The destination of the fleet is Smjr na. This place was selected because it afforded direct cable communication with Washington anJ is only about 300 miles distant from Constantino ple. The trip probably will ba made in three days, and when he arrives there Admiral Jewell will put himself in communication with Minister Leish man and also report to Washington. Suitan Too Dilatory. Turkey has been dilly-dallying for about two years with the United States. At intervals during that time Mr. Leishman has requested tire sul tan to grant to American citizens in Turkey the same rights and privileges that citizens of other nations pos sess, to abolish dls^iminations against American ed'»*» aJ ®nal religious insti tutions in Turkey nnd to pay to natu ralized American cltiz»ns indemnity for outrages suflcied in the Ottoman empire. .Time after time Mr. Irishman asked for a direct audience with the sultan but was*put off. Finally the sultan agreed to see him, and on July 29th granted him an audience. From tUe tone of the minister’s cablegram it was inferred that he had been as sured that his demands would meet with favorable consideration. Accordingly the North American squadron, under Roar Admiral Bar ker. which had been at Trieste, was ordered home. It is now at Gibraltar. Of course, the news that the Atlan tic sqaudron has been ordered to re turn to the United States was sent from here to Constantinople, and the shifty diplomats cf the Turkish gov ernment concluded that this govern ment had left itself unprotected. But the Turkish government overlooked the European squadron, also in the Mediterranean, and its appearance off the Turkish coast is likely to cause consternation. The navy department announced that the European squadron is considered sufficiently strong to enforce a reply to our demands on Turkey and that the Atlantic squadron, after assem bling at Gibraltar, will proceed across the ocean under the original instruc tions, arriving off this coast about September 1. In the Olympia, which was Admiral Dewey’s flagship at Ma nila, the Cleveland and Baltimore, it is considered that the United States has a force immeasurably superior to anything that Turkey can muster. PURSE IS .SHUT TO CASIRO. Foreign Banks Close Treasuries to Erratic Venezuelan President. A New York dispatch says: In con sequence of the aggressive policy dis played by President Castro, of Ven ezuela, against France, M. Delcasse, the French minister of foreign af fairs, has taken steps to prevent the unification of the Venezuelan debt, which had been arranged with the Bank of Paris. Germany and Great Britain are in accord with the French view of the question and have refused any finan cial assistance. The situation is crit ical. FLOP TO DEMOCRATIC RANKS. Two Prom nent West Virginia Republicans Announce Fealty to Parker. A dispatch from Parkersburg, W. Va., says: Asbury Carsons, of Ripley, republican nominee for judge of the circuit court of the Fifth district, has declared for Parker and Davis, and John S. Farr, of Huntington, republi can nominee for presidential elector, has withdrawn from the ticket. He gives as his reason that he cannot con scientiously vote for the persons on the republican ticket this year, and that he does not agree with the prin ciples and platform of the party in West Virginia.

Civilization is based upon labor—human, bnimai, mechanical. What we call capital : is at bottom only accumulated labor.

Organized labor and capital are in conflict. There ftrc stl ;kes and rumors of strikes. Each strike is a battle in the war. , labor / c n has , iaj ' De yet ' ved t 9 observe iraction that of organized tne total as omy a labor army, hut it is a fraction that is m creasing. M by this warfare? Because labor on the one hand is di-satisfied witn its share of the rewards of industry, and because, on the other, capital constantly seeks to re fhe demLcDlif hil,or° 1 dUCti0n by oppcs ‘ ng Other factors, however, enter into the situation. One arises from the develop ment of the modern corporation. Wheth er corporations have souls or not, they lack in large measure the element of personality 9 nd tb e personal touch. Men who work for 3 , 01 ’ a corporation are working in the main an unknown eRt j tv . Now, ne remcm her that among the old-time Romans the word for stranger was also the word for enemy. in Further, there dealings. has been much dishonesty corporate Take such things as the corrupt purchase of public franchises below value, the increase in cost of certain necessities of life by reason of unjust com binations to keep up prices. These and other similar crimes against the commu nity have done much to inflame not only labor, but the general public against capi tal. the Also, the rising standard of life, by which from living the.meagre wage gets further and further fice the pittance frugal that would suf to support Chinaman, leads the laborer to constantly demand a more and more generoup wage. Still other grounds of hostility might be referred to, such as the natural, though sinful, envy of the rich by the poor; the ostentatious luxury of the rich, the growth of class^ distinctions between the poor and the rich and the inequality of pecuniary rewards. The men who discovered the priceless that boon of anesthesia—who found the surgery of might be rendered painless by use such agents as chloroform and ether—gained discoveries. but little money from their traded the ^ They doubtless might have on world’s fear of pain, and by using the patent laws and secrecy secured wealth beyond the dreams of avarice, but to their honor they did not. On the other hand, the men who introduced such im proved and cheapened methods as the Bes S o mer p by roceS the s hundred of producing' millions. steel gained money So peo pie are tempted to a k, “Have not some men been rather selfi h, to say the least, in the acquisition of their wealth? And may than they not have obtained a little more their share?” Before we go further let us ask what is to be the probable outcome of the war be tween labor and capital? Is it an irrepres sible co flict, or can the opposing interests be reconciled? The answer’ is already be ing given, lake such a situation as may now be seen in the coal trade oi Chi eago. i Alter bitter fighting , . the dealers and the tcam-ters have conic together to monopo lize the coal trade of the city and keen out all competition. Wages and profits have , - been put up at the expense ot the o_________ de public. This is like.y to go on more and more. Tbe ultimate outcome, unless the tend ency is the checked, line will be organization ail mong until we have collectivism- -a organized machine, .. \a»i in whicn men will be c-ogs and individual initiative and per sorahty will be restricted to an extent that wid .aigcly arrest the progress of civiliza tion. w.b’jR Lib.e. let Gnat UB take the a breath teachings and turn to (he regard labor are of the Bible bid in Testament to ami wealth?

In proOi of this you have but to read the laws —.aws regarding that, capital it enforced, in thc Book of Leviticus plain living surely would compel as as the iron coin of fiparta.

And ye shall hallow this fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the V nto ad fbe inhabitants thereof; it shall ii be a jubilee unto and shall return his you; ye every man unto possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. y) (Leviticus xxv: 10). Interest could not be charged on loans. it And if thy brother be iailen decay with thee; waxen poor, and reliei in then thou shalt e him; yea, that though lie be a stranger a ournei fi he may live with tlice. Thou shalt not lend him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thv victuals for increase.” (Leviticus xxv:35-6). Finally, there was the statute of limita- lease.

(Proverbs ^ g- | j nee j ij ar( j!y remind you that the great character dominating every page of the New Testament was a poor man, without house or home.

I, the bread of heaven, life. am broken in the sacrament of i While there is never any bitterness in ; the Master’s utterance regarding wealth, His views may be readily gathered from such parables as that ot Dives and Lazarus (Luke xvi:19). • Again, we have the same attitude in the ] passage on the camel and thg needle’s eye ! (Matthew ' | Not xix:’23). only was the Lord poor, but His apostles were all poor men, ivho placed no I , value on wealth. Paul, the greatest of manual apostolic labor, preachers, supported iumseix will by j and taught “They that i be rich tall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown raen in destruction and per dition. For the love of money is the root of all evil (I. Timothy vi:9-10). On the whole, the attitude of the New Testament is one of warning against the seductions of wealth. Word T2ie of evangelical Scripture, churches and stand sympathy upon the so in with labor. In fact, of some 7,000,000 of j of male members in the less evangelical than churches our land, not manual labore 6,000,000 are Wage earners or So that the claim that the modern church lias de parted from the position well occupied by the apostolic church is not letter founded. What, then, from the and spirit of the Bible in connection with the teachings of experience L to be suggested as a means of curing the quarrel between labor and capital ? be closer First, let there personal rela tions between the rich and the poor. Let God’s them meet house together the in the fellowship of and Divine Fatherhood. Out of mutual acquaintance will come mu tual respect, and a recognition of a com mon Y r humanity. remember Emerson’s of ou may story the quarrel between the mountain and the squirrel, where he says: iSdVquarrel, And the 11 ^ called ^ ! former the latter ‘Little Bun replied, Prig-’ i ’You are doubtless very big, But all sorts of things and weather Must he taken in together To make up a year And a sphere And I think it no disgrace To occupy my place.

Talents differ, all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my ba Neither can you crack a nut. Then there should be a deeper interest taken by capital in the financial well-being of labor. Such devices as profit sharing, old age pensions and the like will give the workman a sense of greater security and of partnership with capital. j Interest taken in the proper housing of j labor, although not always appreciated, 1.5 , in the right line. So, too, the introduction of the social secretary as an intermediary between the corporation and the employe. Another thing needed, not so much in the interests of labor or capital, but in the interests of the innocent non-combatant is compulsory arbitration, applied at lea ' t where the public suffers into.erable incon venience, graph as in the case of a reiboad, te c or coal strike. Compulsory arbitra tion may not. always be satisfactory to the combatants, and comfort but those it is essential to the peace of not involved in the controversy. This remedy, or military con Holland trol, as in the recent railway strikes in and Austria, should he used to protect the public. The sovereign remedy, however, must be not by recourse to legal means, but by ihe application of the royal law. James (ii.S;, the after speaking of the relations between rich and the poor, says: “If ye fulfill the j royal law according to the Scripture, thou shalt love coy neighbor as thj ii, ye j well.” This is the aqua regia, tne royal solvent, in which we may solve all the hard asperities of conflicting interests. Christ, Only as men come to know God through whom lie has sent, and so come to love their fellow men, will it be possible to solve these questions of controversy in a way that will insure the permanent pro gress of our civilization. What we need, after all, is not measures, but men. “The world wants men—large hearted, Men manly men; who shall join in chorus and prolong The psalm of labor and of love. The age wants heroes—heroes who shall dare To struggle in the solid ranks of truth; To clutch the monster, e:ror, by the To bear throat; To blot opinion to a loftier soat; the error of oppression out, And lead a universal freedom in.” RUSSIANS UNAFFECTED BY WAR.
