STRAIGHT DEMOCRACY.

HIn re-nominating William Pres
ton Taulbee for Congress, the
Democrats Of the Tenth District Of
Kentucky have put on record, n
uncommonly plain language, their
sentiments With regard to civil SER
vice reform BY competitive e1ami-
nations. They declare that this
theory Of reform Is a hurnbrg, and
they call on the Administration to
remove the Republicans now in
office and appoint Democrats in
place Of them.
This candor IS refreshing. The
resolutions came from the noun
tains of EastKentucky Ike breeze
Of braeing air on an oppressive and
stagnant day. We are not surpris-
ed to learn that the convention Of
Democrats at West Liberty hailed
this straightforward utterance with
enthusiasm and adopted the reso-
.lutions without q dissenting voice.

The Chicago News says that "Lieuten-
ant Grecly has greatly improved since his
recent transatlantic trip. His flesh, which
year ago was soft and habby, has grown
quite hard, and he expresses himself as
being in better physical condition than at
any time since his return from the ILL
starred expedition which cost SO many OF
MS brave comrades their lives. He is yet,
aowever, far from being we'll man. The
secretary of war permits him to do about
as he plcases. He works when he is Ca
pablc Of any sustained effort, and when ne
is not he employs his time in manner
most agreeable to himself. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Greely's friends made
an effort in the last Congress to have that
body create the rank of colonel in the sig
nal service for Mr.. Grecly's especial bene-
fit. That intention has since been aban-
doned 1t is now proposed that Congress
shall promote him to a colonelcy and place
him on the retired list. His superior Off
GERS are satisfied that with care Greclys
life may be preserved for an indefinite
term of years. But he will never be fit
for active service again, and it is believed
to be but simple justice that the govern
ment he has served so faithfully and we'll
should brighten the few remaining years
of his life by retiring him upon a com
potency sufficient for the decent mainte-
nance of his family and himself"

while as food it is in every sense SUI

Although it grows spontaneously through
out the tropics, when cultivated its yield
is prodigious, for an acre of ground
planted with bananas will return as much
food material as thirty-three acres of
wheat, Or over 100 acres of potatoes. 1t
is not generally understood that bananas
fried, baked or roasted are very appetiz-
ing, and that sliced and placed in dish,

A correspondent has been telling how
Mrs. Langtry was made over into i pro-
fessional beauty. 1t appears that at the
Lily's first appearance in London, accord
ing to the veracious correspondent, she
was shy, wore plain black silk and one
rose in her hair, which was nut-brown
and thick; her eyes were fine and her
skin fresh and hardy, but her mouth and
her waist were terrible, both as big rs all
outdoors. She spoke with frightful
,provincial accent, and every word she ut
tered sent the company off into screams
,of laughter. Then she set to work on
herself vigorously. She began by shap-
ing in her waist, hairdresser soon light
ened the nut-br6wn of her hair to copper,
and brought the top Of her head to the
napc of her neck, and fashionable dress
maker soon routed cheap black silks and
Jcrscy-cut costumes. Perhaps the Lily

the transformation, although she did not

+ The agent of New Mexico ranchman
paid his semi-annual visit to a distant
grazing ground only to find the sheep
herder dead and the sheep quietly feed
ing in a fertile canon near by, jealously
guarded by his dog. In the rear of the
carras, into which the sheep were driven
every night, lay the bleaching skeletons
of a dozen or more sheep. Astonished at
the sagacity of the dog, the ranchman
secreted himself and waited until night.
AS the sun began to sink the sheep came
trooping in, with the dog in the rear.
They crowded into the corral through a
narrow opening, and as the last one
pushed forward the dog seized and killed
him, and dragged the lifcless body to the
rear of the corral, where he made COM

death of his master, and would probably
have continued his guardianship over the

TURKEY AND GREECE.
War Between them Imminent
Cause Of the Trouble. -


Cause Of the Trouble.
A Constantinople dispatch to the New
York Herald says: I have just received In
formation from such high sources as leads me
to believe that war between Greece and
Turkey is nearly certain. The only chance
for maintenance Of peace would be a new
cession of Janina by Turkey as claimed
by Greece according to the treaty Of Berlin,
or the occupation Of the Pireus by the pow
ers as it was during the Crimean war. The
Greek government has had to choose between
striking q blow for establishing Hellenic su-
premacy in Macedonia or the facing OF dynas-
ers consider the latter would be the most
disastrous. I have reason to know that the
Turkish government fully expects hostile
demonstrations on the part of Greece to
commence within the next three weeks.
Every effort is being conse-
quently made here for the compile
ton Of the naval preparations, also for
system of torpedo defence in the pardanelles;
The first blow would probably be struck at
the island of Crete. Greece is about to call
out two more classes of reserves.
A dispatch from Athens, Greece, says:
Sir Horace Rumbold, the British minister,
informed Premier Delyannis to-day that
England was prepared to send q
fleet to prevent; Greece from attack
ing Turkey by sea. Premier Delyannis re-
piled that Greece would not disarm. The
Greek fleet sailed to-day, with sealed orders;
A demonstration was held to-day to protest
against the attitude of England The ministry
met yesterday and to-day to consider Lord
Salisburys note, which mentioned that the
course taken by England had been consented
to by the powers, especially by Germany.
Premier Delyannis has had several interviews
with the king on the subject. The news
papers unanimously condemn the unjustness
of Lord Salisbury The reserves abroad are
responding with alacrity to the summons to
return to duty.
Ever since the treaty of Berlin, says the
New York Herald, the Greeks have loudly
and persistently asserted their rights to that
portion of Albania and Thessaly bounded re-
spectvely by the Kalana river on the north
west side, Janina on the north, and the
Salenlbria river onward aS far as Tempe on
the east.
Greek diplomats without exception maln-
tain that this large territory was made over
to them by the conditions OF the treaty or
Berlin in 1873.
They assert that Turkey then and ever since
has refused to carry out that portion OF the
contract imposed upon her by the flenlpo-
tentiaries, and that Greece single-handed has
been unable to assert her rights.
1t will therefore cause little surprise to any
one at all acquainted with the tenor of Greek
politics to hear that Greece is now seriously
contemplating coup de main. and IS ABOUT
to occupy that territory which She has long
ago come to lo)k upon aS belonging to the
kingdom, and to have been filched from her
by the Tur''
