LETTER FROM 4 sERy1AN.
TO the Editor Qf The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-When the Christ left the
earth, He said to His Apostles that they should
! go and preach His doctrines, and He advised
them to be on their guard against bad men.
The Apostles asked Him how they could find the
difference between good and bad men, when
they were alike looking; but Jesus said they
we're marked, and that they would easily find
the difference
The Hon. Mr.. Schuyler, United States Consul
at Constantiuople, has shown himself to the
public as man OF humanity, as true Ameri-
can; and his heart is noble Christian heart.
Mr.. Schuyler, travelling through tile different
Eastern countries in Europe aud Asia, has, by
hard studying, picked up true knowledge about
those countries, and received high respect, not
only from his countrymen, but from the other
nations. His pure soul did not mix with the
enemies who would lead him to dishonor him
self Different political swindlers found his true
heart With closed doors; lie did not admit any
thing in his heart that was untrue,
false, and treacherous; he was firm Us
solid rock, which did not give away
at the strokes OF the political hammers,
Mr.. Schuyler will be remembered in the hearts
Of the whole Slayonian race forever, as an e1-
emplar Of honesty and 4 true American patriot.
Every Slayonian will be thankful to him for his
kindness aud unseldshncss, and We wish that
the United States will have, and be able to
show, thousands Of such men as Mr.. Schuyler.
In The CHICAGO TRIBUNE I have noticed Il
correspondence under the head "Su1rering III

cans are not Indifferent to the Christian troubles
Reading tile said article and Mr.. Pcixotto's

difference between truth and error.
hfr. Peixotto in his lecture says that 1.-THE
Turk is sober; his life is gentle; his home is
hospitality. he is devoid Of mcanness and it-
capable OF treachcry. The Turk is neither cum
ring nor deccitfal; his pride is 1audah1e, for it
is honest aud fa:thfuf,' While the corre-
Observation-Disclosures u friend Of Mr., Schuyler
said: 1T may be that there still exists q feel
ing that the Porte will keep the promises 1t has
made; but do not let your readers be deceived
by these promises. Even while, with one hand,
some slight relief is afforded BY the Govern
mcnt. with the other it is extorting titles and
imposts,-taxes upon crops which nave been
destroyed or rotted in the field" Mr: felxotto
and calls Christians for Ills witnesses: while
Christian reporter from Constantinonle,
in ;. the heart Of the Moslem tyran-
mic country, speaks against the Turkish

etrccts and other places for want OF food,
clotlliug. and shelter. Both Of them have been
observing progress in Turkey, but from differ

with his own eyes and pure heart.
would be vcrr glad to add q few more re-
marks on Mr.. Pcixotto's lecture, given by him at
the Farwcll Hall last Tuesday night. l would
not like to offend Mr. f., but only contradict
what he said.
Mr. Pcixotto said that ssServia has for no
cause whatever declared war against her Suze-
rain lord" Seryia is in very close relation with
the suffering people in Turkey, and they are the
Government. They arc brothers, and nothing
else. Now, Mr.. r, ii you we're doctor, and
your brother was taken sick, would YOU wait
Tor another doctor to come aud cure him; or
would op try your oeS af to uFe h to sne
but true example. ;.
Mr.. Pcixotto, you asked your audience i
"They ever saw the Mos1em drunk!, "
course they could not sec them iu the United
very far in the Turkish country, they
could see them so drunk that they
were laying in the mud, like the pigs: Did you
not remember that the late Sultan Abdul AZlz,
was oycrthrown from the throne for being
drunkarll l layc seen the Turks drink not
only whisky, but winc, which Is not allowed
in the Koran. Did you never hear the Turk In
The caffana call out, '' Verbana sharap;'' which
means, " Give ME wine"!

out OF Servia; aud the Servians had, at the con
clusion OF the last year, in thcir schools Is, 1W
pupils. And VIC hope that, BY hard Labor We

Air. Peixotte, you said, "Your firm belief
was that Roa,nania, Bosnia, Herzegovina' an4 ana
fayorablv inclined towards the Russians, and
would just as soon be Moslems as anything else"
Mr.. P. did not understand the political situa-
ton Of the Slavonian race toward the Turks II he
did believe SO. II We did want to be Moslems We
had plenty OF time to become such, but we could
not part so easily with our to US 50 dear religion
language, and country. Our struggles Tor Inc
past 500 years with the Turks are the true WI
ness that we do not wish to become Moslems.
Could be friend to the Turk when his reitg-
ion commands him to kill my mothers Could
believe in Turks religion when he does not
respect minee Could believe in his ciTitization
when he Is burning our sehoolss How could !
