were for forcing the Dardanelles, bom-
barding Constantinople and setting Eu-
rope at defiance. Here our object was
a laudable one.
It was to prevent the Armenians from

races in Turkey remaining under Mos-

our aims were not selfish. _

, than agree to so monstrous a proposal,
and we fell to abusing President Cleve-
land as though he Iwas acriminal luna—

for the telegram. The letter never was,

BOSTON WOMEN.
The Fad for Philanthrophy is as strong as
Their F ad for Books.
It' 15 said there 1s not a Boston woman
of any standing who is not interested in
some charity.
Probably there is no city where or-
ganized charity is so much of a fad, but
it is also doubtless true that much of
the work is genuine, done from a Sin-
cere Wish to help oppressed, struggling
humanity to a higher level.
there 1s the importunate New England
I conscience to be taken into account.
This conscience sleeps . with one eye
open, when it slumbers at all, and it
atones f01 the smallest dereliction by
heroic self- sacrific.
