from the SPECTATOR

The latest report from Eastern Europe is
that the great Powers have all agreed to
another negotiation as to the Greek frontier,-
at Constantiuople. 1t is not to be q Confer
snce, but a kind Of collective negotiation with
the Porte. The Sultan has assepted to this
last attempt to keep the peace, but Greece has
not, her statesmen believing that Turkey only
agrees to further negotiation in order to gain
time and avoid the cession Of JanDina. They
say they will fight 10 February. There are some
signs of shrinking in Constantinople, whore
they now offer a line which would include
Larissa, and it is believed that the Sultan is
greatly alarmed about Albania. The North
Albanians are in almost open revolt, the South
Albanians are ready for terms with Greece,
and it is very doubtful if the Turkish troops
Will act with heartiDess against them. The
Porte is, therefore, playing its old game-mak-
ing promises, setting chief against chief, and
arresting suspected individuals. The Albani-
ans are not conciliated. but lack a l8ade or of
more than tribal Importance.
General Skobelef has carried the fortified
position of Cock Tepe. The Turcomanns
defended it with splendid gaIlantry, making
charge after charge upon the Russian lines
but they could not cope With science, aud on
the Oath inst, their defences being partially
blown up by mines, they retreated towards
Askabad and Morv. They were pursu ed by
the Russian cavalry for some miles, and it is
asserted, suffered heavily. 1t is stated that
General Kaufman is marching towards them
"with a hundred thousand men, released
from duty by the convention with China; but
as General Kaufman has no such force
available, and could not feed them in
the desert if he had, that story is either
fiction or ebsurdly exaggerated. 1t is proba-
bic that General Skobeleff, who has been
promoted by the Emperor, will now await
reinforoemenfs, and improve his railway CON-
munication with the Caspian, before he ad-
vances. If, eiudeed, he advances at all. Many
leading Russians are of opinion that enough
has been done for honour, and that the useless
drain on the Army and the Treasury had bet.

THE PEABODY FUND.
Meeting Of the Trustees Yesterday
Ex-PreSident Hayes Present.
Favorable Report Regarding the
South.

NEW YoRK, October 6. The Trus.
tees Of the Peabody educational fund
began their annual meeting yesterday,
with Robert G. Winthrop, President
of the Board, in the chair. Ex-
President Hayes was present. The
annual report spoke favorably Of the
advancement in education matters in
the South, and reviewed at length the
work accomplished. Great and graft
flying as had been the progress of both
public sentiment and the educational
system, the report said it must not be
concluded that free schools were es-
tablished beyond the possibility Of a
repeal or destruction. The instruc.
tion of the Board to apply a greater
portion of the income of the fund
hereafter to the education of teacher,
for the public schools, has met with a
general and decided approval. The
income distributed since February
1st, 1881, amounted to $50,375.

PLAIN TALK.
EaSt Tennessee Speaking Out
Against the 1908.

Corr. KnoxYille Tribune, 81
With your permission, l desire to
ask the good people of East Tennessee
a few questions through your excellent
paper.
The status of the State debt, as
represented by the 1908 bill, is we'll
understood by most of our tax payers,
and hence the questions that | desire
to ask relates to what course we (the
tax.payers) will pursue with reference
to it in future. At present there
seems to be supreme silence ON the
subject. Does this mean that we are
satisfied with the settlement, and
propose to carry out its provisions, or
does it signify that we regard the
manner in which party pledges Gas
made in the several party platforms)
were broken; the self-evident corrup-
tion employed to secure its success,
with the manifest unfairness of the
settlement itself as enough to satisfy
any sane mind that we are now and
forever opposed to the measured
For one, | answer that the latter
supposition is the true one, and if /
am correct, the silence of the people
referred to may be the silence Of
death.
Spectators that deal in securities
like Tennessee bonds are the most
vigilant men on earth. If we expect
to end them mapping at their posts,
we will soon discover that only our
selves have been deceived.
This 100 3 matter is so far fixed in
the very coupons Of our State that NO
child's play will be sufficient to dis
engage it. 1t requires the outspoken
no, and the active aid of one hundred
and fifty thousand Tennesseans, fol

payers in the State are utterly opposed
TO the 1908 settlement and are
unalterably determined to put the
seal Of condemnation upon it at the
first opportunity, haven't the slight
est doubt. Republicans, Democrats
and Greenbackers are together on thi
lquestion of questions. But their sen
timents should begin to find ex
preston. 1t is truthfully said tha
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty," and in no case is it more true
| than the one under consideration.
hope the taxpayers of East Tennessee
| will speak out on this subject. i
they are in favor of the settlement
say SO; if opposed to it, it is their
duty to be heard. While your paper,
Mr.. Editor, may be opposed to the
sentiments expressed in this letter
yet / am persuaded that you are al
deeply interested in knowing how the
people stand on this matter as any
one, and hence have taken the lib.
erty of addressing it to you. In fact
| cannot believe that any East Ten
nessee paper would attempt to sup
press a free and full expression oi
sentiment on a subject of so grave
| Importance as this one.

The people of Memphis are law
abiding, patient, forbearing, charita-
bic. This peculiar trait in the temper
of the community has often been taken
advantage Of. They have submitted
to misrule, extortion and outrageous
taxation, without united protest or
resistance, until it has become almost
asecond nature. Pu5lic indignation
rarely takes shape or form beyond
street car talk or newspaper
"clatter." People occasionally stop
a newspaper man on the street
and say, give it to them-we are for
you" but that ig the end of it. The
man who complains loudest is the first
to knuckle down when a monopoly
sets up new exactions. There is some
feeling and talk here against the
Water Works Company, but it does
not amount to that intensity or unan-
unity which would prevent a fair trial
by jury. The company, unfortunately,
happens to be in the condition
of the prisoner at the bar, who, when
told that he could rest easy, as he was
sure Of justice at the hands of that
court, cried out and said that that was
the very thing he was most afraid of
