The Turkish army is thoroughly reli-

three military elements that have before

against odds; but once fairly on the run
before conquering Muscovite army not
the Bosphorus itself can stop the retreat
of the Turkish fatalists into Asia Minor.
So long as victory hangs in the balance
the Turks will fight with stubborn feroc-
ity worthy of the days of their greatest
power: but once the scale falls to the side
of the Russians, weighed down by their
heavy swords and tramplng legions, then
will the followers of the Prophet COM
mence "hegira" that will carry them out
of Europe forever. 1t is probable that
the small force of English cavalry that
will undoubtedly he attached to the Brit
ish expeditionary army when such is de-
spatched 10 the seat of war will be used
chiefly in Asia Minor to cooperate with
the Turks against the. Russian advance
from the Caucasus. In European Turkey
the English infantry will be sparingly used
in field operations and will be distributed
among the important fortified places that
cover Constantinople. The English artl-
lery contingent will prove of immense
value to the Turkish field forces, while the
engineers will make good all defensible
points against a Russian coup de main.
We write of England as Turkeys active
ally, Notwithstanding her protests of
neutrality. because events will force her
into the position, willing or no. Should
the English eventually abandon the de-
fence Of Turkey their army will probably
be concentrated in Egypt. where its effec-
tiveness will be much greater for the seiz-

Hon. John A. Kasson of Iowa, who has
recently been appointed Minister to Spain,
having returned to his home at Des Moines
on Friday. made some remarks upon the
Presidents policy to the friends who well
coined him. lie said he "was not pre-
pared himself to unreservedly indorse the
new policy, but he wished it to have the
fairest trial possible. If this trial failed,
If the South abuses the confidence shown
it, If it is not received with decent re-
spect, if the rights Of all men were not
maintained inviolate, he believed the Pres
ident would prove firm and steadfast in
his devotion TO the republican party as any
patriot could wish. He would not at
tempt to conceal his fears for the result,
but besought all to wait for the outcome
before passing judgment. lie had lost nc
confidence in President Hayes, though
forced to be anxious about his policy.n

The Election of Speaker.

Senator Gordon's letter in reply to the
accusation made against him by a Southern
Ex-Governor, that he is concerned IN
coalition to elect republican Speaker
bursts the bubble in relation to reported
assistance from Southern democrats to or
panize the next House in the interest OF
the republicans. He says that he does not
know what the republicans may be vain
" attempting towards an organization OF
the House, but he is very conf lent that
no democrat is contributing TO their plans
either South or North, and has no doubt
of complete organic alton of the House
by the democrats.
1t scarcely needed Senator Gordon's
statement to establish the fact which it
asserts. Not the first democratic repre-
sentative has get appeared to avow or in
innate that be would vote for the republi-
can candidate for Speaker. Thus far the
Matthews-Foster policy has made no
breach in the lines of the opposition. 1t
has upon the whole served to stilien up
their representatives. If its authors real
ly thought it would accomplish the disin-
tegration of the democratic party they
are in fair way TO learn what woiul
mistake they made.

When Senator Blaine characterized the
cowardice of certain members of the
"Boston press" everybody knew who
were hit without naming names, and all
the wounded ducks tumbled to the charge.
1t will not do, therefore, for those men,
bers to bid for recruits in their miserable
cause by trying to arraign the press OF
New England or ofthe country as equally
under the ban. Senator Blaine knew
what he was talking about. He knew
just what the country knows, that the
white liver has got hold of a majority Of
the Boston press" to a degree that make:
1t the mere servant of expediency. 1t is
true that this disease has National ex
istence but the acute sore is at the Hub
as was indicated by the fierce bowls Of
pain that went up from the flock when
Senator Blaine dropped his shell in among
them.--Boston Trareller.

The remarkable homicide case, now
in progress, reminds all citizens of Han
cock county of The fact that the court
room, not only by reason of Its circum-
scribed space, but also its poor ventila-
lion, is inadequate to public wants. A
court house that could afford seating
room for at least ten times the number
hat can be Accommodated in our present
building, would have been filled during
he present trial mostly by ladies, many
of whom vainly sought admission. Yet
We would be 10Th to part with the old
structure. When built, now nearly
forty years ago. it was regarded as q
great piece of extravaganza and was the
best court house in this quarter Of the
State, except the one at Kalida. In sew
eral of the counties in North Wes.ern
Ohio, when Judge Emery d. Potter took
his place on the bench, in February,
1889, the court houses were of unhewn
logs. as was the case in Williams and
Henry counties. By reason of the hal
lowed associations connected with the
old bull ing, one would hope that it
might stand perpetually. But the in
crease of the county in population and
wealth renders it manifest that it is al
together Inadequate for the public re-
quirements.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Quite a pleasant occurrence took
place, at the the residence of Mr.. Ed
ward Harpst, in Union township. one
mile west of Rawson, on Tuesday Feb.
9th. Mrs C. Harpst resides with her
SOD, and it being her 73 birthdsy, her
children and grand children decided to
give the old lady surprise party. She
had entirely forgotten that it was her
birthday, SO that when about 10 A NJ,
one load after the other, drove up {,
the door, from which descended chill
dren and grandchildren, she was
completely surprised, and could assigD
no reason why they should all happen
to come on one day, frequently III
quiriDg. What does this meanT
When all were assembled, Rev. John
Powell, in a few we'll timed remarks,
Informed, Mother Harpst what II
meant, that we were all there, and
also the meaning of the various boxes
and baskets of provisions, which ha"
been smuggled into the house. The
Joyful surprise of the old lady, who If
still lively, cheerful, little body was
laughable to witness. Mr.. Powell
then proceeded to congratulate her or
this her 73 birthday, also on the unity,
good will, and prosperity Of her large
family. Mr.. Edward Harpst respond
cd in behalf of his mother; Mr.. Powell
then read the following statistics;
Mrs Christena Harpst was born Feb.
9th, 1904, and is the mother of 10 chill
dren, 6 of whom were present, har-
ing died and residing in California,
2S grand children, IL of whom were
present, and 2 great grand children.
After singing of hymn and prayer.
the party adjourned to the dining room
where 1S persons at time sat down
to q long table laden with provisions
of every variety, among which the
roasted fowls and turkeys, and beauti-
fully ornamented cakes were especially
attractive. Mirth and cheerfulness
abounded, and We felt like ''tarr! ing
long" but the short day rapi ly drew
to a close, and we departed to our re-
spective homes, all with happy re-
membrances, of Grandma's Surpris.
