Democratic Doctrine.

The following from Andrew Jackson
are worth writing in letters of gold:
"In free country every voter should
be politician, every man should have
an intelligent comprehension of and
take an interest in all public questions.
Rotation in office is the basis of
Democratic institutions. 1t necessi-
tates vigilance and industry and they
in turn insure efficiency and fidelity.
"Power naturally seeks te strength
en- and perpetuate itself, and the great
danger to our institutions is not from
the frequenG office changes, bat from
the usurpations and encroachments of
authority endeavoring to render its
leases and privileges lifelong or hered-
.itary.
People shouId RECORD Office as an
opportunity of usefulness, not as a
means of livelihood, and should bt,
prepared to resign it when occasion
requires.
mo party can carry out distinct.
i've policy that employs its opponents
as agents.
81 really think that it would be
better if change in the party at the
head of the government could be fol-
lowed by an entire change of office
holders, SO that the dominant party
could be made to assume all RESPONSE
bility of government and be amenable
te the people for the proper discharge
Of public duty"

LONDON, May Sl.--A dispatch Just re-
ceived from Constantinople denies the state
ment that Greece had arranged privately
with Turkey for the withdrawal of both
their forces without reference to the powers
The only communications received from
Greece, so far as is known here, are from
Greek generals regarding the positions of
the respective armies after the last skirmish
ANY formal communication which might be
received by Turkey from Greece would be
Immediately referred to the powers, Turkey
herself, will never voluntarily Withdraw
from the excellent position on the Greel
frontier as long as the present arrangements
made by the powers are in existence, because
they constitute the Turkish army sort OF q
police force to keep peace in southern Europe
Neither will the Greeks withdraw while they
have so plausible excuse for delay as the pres
ence of vast army of their deadliest foe:
