of Feb. 9th says the question of the
straits is to be submitted to the confer
ence when, if England, as Is probable,
proposes the preservation of the status
quo, Russia, it is stated, will not seri-
ously oppose her. 1t would seem,
therefore, as if all avowed British inter
ests are to be respected, and the danger
of conflict between Russia and Eng
land ended. Such, however, is not the
opinion here, 1t is thought that Eng
lands real aim is the humiliation of
Russia. These feelings may possibly
lead to most serious consequences.
THESSALY REBELS.
An Athens telegram under date of
Feb. 9th, says that the Greeks have
based great hopes on the insurrection
in Thessaly, Epirus and Crete. The
feeling is gaining ground that rather
than submit to consequences which
must follow from Russo-Turkish peace
conditions as now understood, Greece
should assert the rights of Hellenism by
sending an army across the frontier
again. A large force of Greek insur-
gents has landed on the Albornian coast
and is marching toward Delvino The
inhabitants maintain a neutrality, and
Turkish troops are reteating before the
insurgents.

by NJ, @. Butterfeld for specie re-

Captain says there has been no con.

much or more in circulation now than
in 1901, and repeated the Presi-
dents assel ton, that the public debt
is being reduced.
Can you explain how the public
debt is reduced, and how it is that
we have as much money as we had in
the good time of I or years ago?
If we have got one-third Of our big
debt paid off, let's take the idle mil

/ think the Democratic party in
Maine is extinglished. Our organiza.
ton there is two years old. In 1873
we polled about 800 votes. In 1877
our organization was extended, and
we polled more than 5000 votes. In
1873 we roll up about 1900. No
party ever had such a rapid growth.
We will carry Maine next time. One
fact is overlooked by all who assume
to say that the National Greenback
party is ephemeral, basing their
opinion on the Greeley movement.
That movement was to form a party
and hand it down ready-made to the
voters. and was made to crafty the
ambition of disappointed leaders in

unfortunate as to have become OBJ

course they do-and suffering is good
for them. Let their bellies go hungry,
it will do them good. A little starva-
tion is a means of g. ace now and then.
If you allow them still to sit there
idle and feed them, you continue
their present condition. It is said
that they mnst not he allowed to

they don't grow better, and they do
grow worse, they may as well go into
the other world, where they may do
better than they do in THU" HUI
