Tho Seryian Govorninont, unable to n1ain-
thin tho unoqunl contest with Turkey, hos
requested tho interference Of other Powers
for pence. The war with Turkey Is ono Of d,
character which caa hardly bo understood In
this country. Its horrors exceed description.
It Is ono Of the mos. savage and rovolting
,.ature. Tho Turkish Government has
turned loose upon Dulgaria tho hordos OF
volunteers who hive offered themselves In
Asia. Thcse men nro wholly unciv;lizcd
they arc literally savage tribos, put into tho
field with full license. They fight no bat
tics; they fall upon tho dofcnseloss towns Of
the country. They spare no ono. Tho
women arc subjected 10 all manner Of out
ragos living, and are then murdered and
nlanglcd tho children aro bradncd against
the walls md their bodies thrust upon pixies
and ereotod Ia the air. Males nro not only
slaughtered, but their bodies mutilntod III
tho most infamous mannor. Nothing Is left
nlivo, These savnges arc turned loose all
over tho country, md their paths aro marked
by determination, Hundreds Of thousands
Of tho people have boon slaughtered in this
fashion in Bulgaria, and their bodies loft
unburieil, rotting in thosun. These atrocities
have been investigated by the representatives
of foreign Governments, and their extent
confirmed. Against milton TINT thus con-
ducts war. Servia, unailol, can no longer
contend, md It il not surprising TINT she
appeals to Europe for peace. But we do
not understand why it is that tho nations Of
Europe permit this mode Of warfare. Hu-
manity and civilization should, we think,
have long siuco demanded not only armed
interference to prevent this character Of
war, but armed interference to reliovo these
Christian Statos from the Government Of
Turkey. Why should such roproach to
civilization bo permitted TO hold my Euro
peans In bondago2 Why should not Turkey
bo forced to put up with her people aud
possessions In Asia

THE SAME OLD FIGHT,


THE SAME OLD FIGHT,
If my one hnB doubted TINT tho rea1 Issue
Of tho present national contest is the same
which tho Republicans havo boon fighting for

passed by South Carolina, we would refer

structon to bo placod upon "tho restoration
Of the normal operation Of tho Constitution
OF tho United States" The normal opera-
tion, III the minds Of men like Tu.pEs md
Hgapn1cKs, was that tho Constitution
was merely a compact between States
to be annulled at any timo by
tho contracting parties; that tho Union
of States is merely league Of Independent
nationalities, something like Germany was
boforo tho Empire wns formed, and when tho
didoront aorman statesunitedin nZollvoroin;
md, finally, that each State has absolute
control over its own destinios without any ro-
gard to tho othor thirty-sovon. This Ia the
"normal oporation" which AIr. HENDn1cEs
flas In his mind. This was tho Democratic
construction OF tho Constitution at the time
