Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper
Gen. Foraker in the Senate.
The entrance into the United States
Senate of Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, of
Ohio, will give Washington, and in
that way, the whole country, a nearer
view of one who has long been a potent
and conspicuous figure. in the politics
of his own State and much in the eye
of the people generally. We have
heard of him frequently during the
past eight or ten years, not only as a
bold‘ aggressive, and vigorous leader
in the Republican organization of Ohio,
but as an aspirant to leadership in a
still larger and more important field.
In fact, it is no secret that his coming
to the Senate is but a move in the
scheme of’his progressive ambition. .-
Mr. Foraker possesses many traits of
character and qualities of temperament“
which commend him to the sympathy
and admiration of the people. It can
hardly be said of him that he is a model
of discretion, that he measures either
his actions or his utterances by the rule
of diplomatic calculation. He is not 01
the school of Machiavelli or Talleyrand.
But he has a certain fire and dash, an
impetucus and vehement enthusiasm,
an impulsive candor and a, rugged
bluntness which always captures the
popular fancy, and make a hero of the
person who is thus endowed. It is
usually safe to predict of such aman
that he will make mistakes of more or
less significance under the stress ofa
great emergency, but they will be the
mistakes of ardor, of genuine convict-
ion and of honest purpose. He will not
. err in the direction of treachery or
meanness or timidity. J. B. Foraker,
in a word, is a man of the people. He
does not aim above the heads of his fel-
low-citizens. He makes no pretense of
unfathomable pl‘unuidlty. He is not
inscrutable or mysterious or superhu-
man. It is enough for him to be a
plain, every-day American, patriotic,
hot-headed,'full of purely human attri-
butes, a‘loyal friend, an earnest enemy,
apersonality at once picturesque and
strenuous. ‘
For our part, says the Post, we shall
be glad to welcome such a man, al-
though he comes to displace a Senator
to whose ability, intelligence, and cour-
age the country is seriously indebted.
There has been a revolution in politics,
however, within the past two years.
Republicans have taken the places
in which Democrats have been sitting
beyond the memory of the oldest inhab-
itant. Since, therefore, a change was
inevitable, it is pleasent to know that
Mr. Brice is not to he succeeded by a
Mugwump, and that the only difference
is the substitution of one positive and
forceful man for another.
A Shorter Campaign Assured.
The seventh of July has been chosen
as the date for the National Democratic
Convention to be held this year. This
insures a shorter campaign than it was
. feared would result from the decision
of the Republican committee to hold
the convention of that party June 16,
in view of the tradition by virtue of
which the administration party holds
the-earlier convention of the two. It is
a. pity that while the Democrats were
breaking the custon they did not make
a material reduction of the campaign
by choosing a late date in July instead
of such an early one, but it was evident ,
ly considered poor politics to allow
much more than a fortnight to elapse
after the naming of a Republican can-
didate before placing his Democratic
opponent in the field. At all events the
custom that has so often operated to
[lengthen the campaign has been broken,
and a most desirable precedent has
beenestablished in favor of an abbre-
.viation of the political disturbances
,. that interfere so seriously each fourth
.year with the commercial prosperity of
i the nation. It is noteworthy that this
was not achieved without a diVision,
but that it came about only after a fight
with the advocates of the plan of hold-
ing themconvention as early as the 2d of
J uhe.

RUSSIA Alphonso
Offensive and Defensive Alliance Said
to Have Boen'és Fermed.
FRANCE MAY GO INTO IT T00
England, .as Usual, Is Left Out In the
Cold—London Press COmment,
i Turkey IsNow Practically
} Russia’s Vassai.
LONDON, Jan. 24.—-A dispatch to The
Pall Mall Gazette from Constantinople
says that an ofiensive and defen ‘ e alli-
ance has been concluded between Russia
and Turkey. The correspondent adds that
the treaty was signed at Constantinople
and that the ratifications were exchanged
at St. Petersburg between Aarej Pasha
and the czar. The basis of the treaty is
declared to be on the lines of the Un-
kiarskelessi agreement of 1833, by which
Turkey agreed, in the cvcnt‘of Russia go-
ing to war, to close the Dardanelles to
warships of all nations. '
The Pall Mall Gazette’s correspondent
then says that the treaty will (soon be
abandoned, owing to the refusal of the
powers to recognize it. He also says that
the French einbassador, M. Cainbon, con»
ferred with the sultan, and that it is prob-
able France will be included in the new
alliance. ‘
Commenting on its dispatch from Con-
stantinople announcing the Signing of a
treaty between Russia and Turkey for of-
fensive and defensive purposes, The Pall
Mall Gazette says:
“We regard the news as true, and the
result - of the treaty is that the Darda-
nelles is now the southern outpost of Bus-
sia and Turkey is Russia’s vassnl. Wo
presume the British government will pro-
test against the treaty for all it is worth.
A Grave Situation.
“The information is plainly of the very
gravest importance. The first intimation
reached us four days ago, but we withheld
it until the arrival of strong confirmation,
which we received today. This brings Rus-
sia into the Mediterranean with a venge-
ance and may necessitate the strength-
ening of our fleet in those waters. Politi-
cally, the effect will be for greater. The
treaty means that Turkey has realized her
own impotence against disorders. both
from within and without, and has decided
to throw herself for safety into the arms of
Russia. She is now Russia’s vassal, and
Russia is entitled to dispatch troops to any
part Of the sultan’s dominions whenever
there is the least breach of disorder, and
when is there not?
“We presume the arrangement will give
the keenest satisfaction to the Anglo-Ar—
menian section of our people. With them
lies the chief blame for the complete alien—
ation of Turkey, though it must be owned
that it has been sedulously fostered by a.
long term of weak policy at Constantino-
ple.”
The officials of the Russian embassy
here deny having any knowledge of the
existence of a Russo-Turkish treaty on the
basis pointed out by The Pall Mall Ga-
zette. Attention is called to the fact in
well informed circles that while the pres-
ent time is inauspicious for Russia to pro-
vide arguments in favor of ' Great Britain
joining the Drei-bund, it must be remem-
bered that Great Britain completed a par-
allel treaty with Turkey in 1878, when she
secured the island of Cyprus from Turkey.
Such a treaty, it is added, might solve the
Armenian question, as Russia could occupy
Anatolia. J
The Armenian Associations.
A press correspondent at Constantinople
sends the following information under
date of Jan. 7: .
Up to the present the names of 16 Prot-
est-ant pastors have come in, all of whom
have refused Mohcnimcdunism and have
been killed.
The Turks here are very angry about
the presents taken by Anrif from the sul-
tan to the czar. The Oriental Advertiser
was suspended for publishing the facts
that Aarif had left in company with the
dragoman of the Russian embassy. There
is no doubt that he carried presents, and
the Turks think he has sold the empire.
It is even said that the presents included
a stone of great value, a stone which is re-
garded with vcneratiou as a. talisman,
whose possessor will dominate the empire.
I have heard this story from several
sources.
Selim Melhamcli, the present minister
of agriculture, mines and forests, was put
out of the service of the public debt, and,
being persona gratissima at the palace,
had his present office created for him.
The year before last he agitated the ques-
tion of an exposition, and a tax of 10 paras
was put upon every ticket sold at the fer—
ries. This tax is still collected, though
the exposition is forgotten. It is said that
£68,000 were thus collected and deposited
by Selim in tho Ottomon bank.
A Turkish official reports that orders
have been sent to destroy Zeitun. The
following is the opinion of one well quali-
fled to give an opinion:
Zeitun Will Not Fall.
“There is small probability that the
Armenians‘at Zeitun can be induced to
surrender. It must be remembered that
they have a naturally strong position;
that by bribery of Turks they have a prac-
tically unrestricted intercourse with the
surrounding country, and that the Turk-
ish troops who surround them are ill fed
and unpaid villagers who cannot resist
ofiers of bl'ld - .. The fact has more. than
once come to light elsewhere that Turkish
petty officers will allow arms and ammu-
nition to pass unseen by themvif a suffi-
cient bribo is offered. There is no reason
Why this should not be the case at Zeitun.
“One featuye of this case should be care-
fully considered. The idea of the Turk is
that killing is the sole object of military
operations. Killing any Armenian is as
justifiable as is killing those who are in
revolt. More than once, token the reserves
have been called out to re-enforce the
army at Zeitun, the men have said: ‘Why
go to Zeitun? Here are Armenians. Let
us kill them, here and save the bother of
going 011' to Zeitun to kill them. Hence,
so long as the Armenians in 'Zeitun are
left alive, so long the whole Armenian
population will be in perpetual danger of
massacre as frightful asthose at Ourfa and
Binjik. ' ‘
“This situation is one which distinctly
balls for European intervention like that
in the Lebanon in 1860. The provinces 01'
Admin and Aleppo can be temporarily oc-
cupied and order restored there by Euro-
pean troops. The lives of the Christian
population of those provinces can be made
secure in no other way. ”

Us All the Credit for. It-

[Frbm the Boston Herald.l
An incubus is a good thing—to be rid
of. And there are many difi‘er ng in
kind. But we know you might safely
offer the worst of all others to the suf-
ferer from kidney disease. and he would
gladly swa p." A sufferer once described
it thus: “Put your thumb in a wee
and turn until you can stand it no long
er. Give it one more turn—that’s kid-
ney disease.” He wasn’t far wrong.
The heading to this article is simply
an expression of Mr. A; M. Pierce. 750
Saratoga St., East Boston, in reply to
our representative asking what he
thought of Dean’s. Kidney Pills. Mr.
Pierce’s duties require constant stand-
ing (always had for the kidneys), and
for nine months his back was lame.
To .use his own expression, “If I re-
mained for five minutes in one spot it
gave me fits to move. It was one
steady ache, with sharp pains added in
changing position. It gave me severe
pain to bend over and worse to straight-
en up again.” This was the thumb in
the Vice, with the extra turn. Added
to all this misery was the urinal trouble,
nearly always present in kidney com-
plaints. He says also that the pains
were so constant and persistent they
resulted in sleeplessness, until almost
worn out. He saw D‘oan’s Kidnev Pills
advertised. obtained them at the Wood-
bury Drug Co.’s pharmacy, East Bos-
ton, took them, andfnow says‘ loudly
and with no indistinct ring, “I give
Dean’s Kidney Pills all the credit of
my cure. I have no more pains, the
urinal trouble has vanished, I [Slerp
well, am refreshed in the morning and
can do mv work with old time Vigor.”
Where will you find a better testimonial
or reaching argument that Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills cure?
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
dealers, price 50 cents, or sent by mail

$200,000.
. Two old men, tired out and almost hopeless, not
many years since clung dcszmratoly to a. small hole
in the ground which showed some traces of gold.
That. hole has since yielded over $2,000,000.
The Idaho Mine has paid nearly $6,000,000 in
dividends, the Crown Point nearly 312,000,000, the
Belchcr ovor $15,000,000.
. We know of no other prominent industry paying
such large dividends on capital invested as fully
