WAE against Turkey has been
virtually begun by Servia and Mon

and Bosnia, Roumania, Bulgaria,
Gfeeco and other principalities are
expected soon to follow suit. In the
meantime, England, Germany,
France, Austria and Russia, which
are directly interested, one way or
the other, as is Turkey herself, are
trying to prevent the conflict. but
with very poor prospect of success.
1t now looks as if general European
war over this Eastern question
was inevitable.

Official and oflicial reform.

The Republican party must remain
in power until every dollar Of the ma
tional debt is paid.
Until every citizen, white or black,
has his rights before the law.
Until a Republican is as safe in
Georgia as Democrat is in Massa-
chusetts.
Until gold and silver take the place
of irredoemable payer money.
Until the rights of labor are recon
lied throughout the land.
Until the credit of the nation, the
liberty of the citizens, the free educa-
ton of the people, arc so well secured
and protected as to be beyond the
reach of harm.
