An Appeal.
Aid Asked for Chios.

To the People Of The United States: The ca
lamity OF Chios touches the whole world. A
disaster which no human foresight could per-
ceive or prevent has laid waste the beautiful
island whose songs have been among the
worlds most treasured possessions for five and
twenty centuries. A single Sunday afternoon
destroyed the fruit of sixty years of industry
and turned peaceful and pleasant country in-
to a scene of desolation and horror. Without
one moments warning, by the unheralded and
irresistible forces of nature, seven thousand
human beings were crushed and buried be-
meath the ruins of their own happy homes,
ten thousand more have been extricated,
wounded and dying, and forty thousand are
left wandering without roof or food or plan for
the future, stricken by an unseen hand, fam
ished, appalled, despairing.
The situation admits of no delay The suffer-
ing is present and pressing. No community
could recover from so mysterious and terrible
q blow except through the slow lapse of time.
The neghboring Powers have rushed to Chios
with instant aid, but the shocked and SORROW
ful people must be nurtured through many a
long day back to comfort and confidence, to
hope and home-loy, to moral strength and
self-dependence.
In this sudden and overwhelming anguish
the accredited representatives of the desolate6
provinces have appealed TO us to implore the
generous assistance of the American people,
We do not appeal to the American people.
They need no appeal. In this sweet charity
the New World insists upon its right to stand

land, feeling profoundly that the Kings busi-

The New York Financial Chronicle has
the following encouraging comments upon
the present situation: The outlook, there
fore, for our various industries is very prom
ising; and this only adds another influence
to the many favorable conditions affecting
our financial markets. Money is ven now
obtainable on call at an average of about 4
per cent. and is offered for six and even ten
mouths at that rate on pledge Of stock col
lateral. Indications also point to steady
flow Of currency toward this centre from all
interior points, even the most remote. Bank
currency is on the increase and without
doubt will go on so expanding as months
progress. Government bonds are selling for
about the best prices ever recorded-even
the 'Windom's" are quoted at 101 to 1014,
and the demand is sufficient to carry them
much higher. The bank of England rate of
discount has been reduced to the minimum
of last year and inquiry in Great Britain for
investment securities is so great as to move
the price of Consols up to 101 11-G, the high
est recorded since 1852 when they were 102,
and that was the highest ever known. EN-
igrants are focking to our shores in num-
bers so great that extra steamers have to be
provided to meet the demand. The pros
poets for the crops are decidedly brighten
ing. while the scheme for extending the re-
deemable and 6 per cent. bonds at 81 per
cent bids fair to be brilliantly successful.
Add to this a new start in railroad earnings,
and we have in brief the financial situation.
1t is no wonder that with such surround
ings efforts to depress the values of good
railroad properties should prove unsuccess-

A Plea for Annexation.

A sound reason has at last been advanced
for the annexation of Mexico. General
Grant is reported as saying that the tobacco
of Vera Cruz is the best in the world and
that its cigars are better and cheaper than
those. of Havana. General Grants judg-
ment in this matter will not lie disputed.
He is an expert.
This condition of affairs existing, the
young and progressive portion of our people
will, of course favor annexation. Where
cheap tobacco is concerned most Americans
have displayed the greatest energy and per-
sistence and shrewdness in the acquire
ment of it. Many of them succeed in OBJ
tanning it in quantity without renderiI any
equivalent, depending upon the stores of
their provident fellows. But most have at
times to pay something for the coveted lux
ury. All of them know what good
tobacco is, and invari ably select the best
from the stock generously or carelessly
spread before them. Here is an opportuni-
ty to secure the best at scarcely more cost
than the annexation of Mexico. Though
the revenue tax will remain until the South
ern Democracy triumph, the customs dues
will be done away with as soon as the halls
of the Montezumas become the property of
Americans. The movem mt for annexa-
ton will thrill the bosoms of all tobacco
lovers, and excite popular movement that
the bgoted revilers of the great weed will
find themselves unable to resist.
Besides, by annexation new and great
field will be opened to the missionaries of
the Methodist church. There is large op-
portunity to fight tobacco in Mexico.

IT is only now that we are able to learn
some essential details as to the Nihlist or
ganization, in consequence of the strict sur
veillance exercised over letters and tee-
grams a. st. Petersburg. Jeliaboff made
the following statement: The Nihilist par
ty is primarily organized in groups, in
which novices are enrolled to whom the
task is allotted of propagat ng the Nihilist
doctrines. The highest authority belong to
the Congress, to which only tried members
can be elected. The Congress appoints
the Executive Committee, which has to car
ry out all the DEGREES of the Congress. Be-
sides the groups and centres into which the
organization is divided, there exist the So
called Druschinas with particular duties,
who are presided over by hetman. Four
such Drucshinas exist in St. Petersburg. The
Nihilist party does not consist of atheists
and anarchists, but of republicans and fed
eralists. America and Switzerland are the
realization of their ideal. A glance into
the social programme of the Nihilsts was
also given by Kibaltchich. He declared
that the people possessed right to the
whole of the soil, and the workman to the
whole produce of his labors.

his match in this particular. One day

ers with some of Burleigh's copy"
saying that. if he had got to set that
sort OF stuff, they'd have to pay him by
the hour, because he couldn't make his
salt setting it by the thousand. Rogers
Immediately wrote Burlegh a note,
telling him that, if he couldn't write so
that his letters could be read, he had
better either quit writing, or get some
body TO do his writing for him. In
day or two there arrived an envelope
with Rogers signature. cut out and
