THE BALKAN STATES.
Russia Wants Roumania. Servia. Greece
and Montenegro to Federate.
London Times Vienna Letter

London Times Vienna Letter.
The Hakikdt, the organ of the Turkish
Grand War, has published somewhat
remarkable article, which is clearly due to
Russian inspiration. 1t strongly advo-
Gates the establishment of a Balkanic con-
federation under the protection of Turkey,
the confederated states to be Roumania,
Servia, Montenegro and Greece. The ex-
clusion of Bulgaria sufficiently denotes the
character of the project, which simply aims
at isoiating the Bulgarian Principality
and placing it in hostile position
towards the Ottoman Empire. But as
Rumania will not join the proposed union,
the scheme must come 10 nothing. what
ever support 1t may receive at Belgrade,
Cettinje and Athens. The regent, M.
Ristitch, as is we'll known, has long been
the partisan of Balkanic confederation
under Russian auspices; and it would GER
tainiy be most gratifying to him TO see
Turkey caioled into placing her armies at
the service of Russophil coalition d.
rected against Austria Hungary At
Bucharest, however, there is we'll
schemes for the good of the Balkan
states which emanate from st. Peters
burg, and the present tendencies of
Roumanian statesman happened to be
setting in direction quite contrary TO that
which the Russians desire. AS for the
Turks, they can only feel tickled al the
sight of Russia expecting the states which
she formerly stirred up TO rebellion against
Ottoman rule 10 place themselves under
the sultan's protectorate; but the Tuks are
quite shrewd enough To see that all these
tine plans for confederation are merely
evidences OF the deep notification and i'm
patience which Russia feels at seeing Bull

WISCONSIN AND THE FAIR.

Under this heading, The Madison
Democrat of Nov. 2Sth has Il timely
article, urging the people of Wisconsin
to awake to the opportunity Of making
exhibits of the products of the state
at the coming worlds fair. We quote
the following:
Expeditions OF the character of the proposed
worlds fair are not projected merely shows.
They meant to bring profit, prosperity aud
development to the nation and city in which
they are located. The great enterprise of lSa3,
Designed 10 dttmgly commemorate the four hun
dreth anniversary OF the discovery OF America,
should prove OF very great material advantage
10 the country Wisconsin in particular, situated
at very gateway of Chicago. ought certainly to
derive as many benefits from the undertaking as
amy state III the union. 1t possesses advantages
and resources that will bear the closest investi-
CATION, aud the citizens OF the commonwealth
need have no fear of the closest inquiry into
them Its magnificent forests Of hard aud soft
timber are surpassed nowhere; and display OF
woods gathered from its mulularious products
could readily lie arranged that would convey 81
world Of valuable information in itself 10 the
countless strangers who viii visit the exposition.
The mineral resources toe. are remarkable and
capable of being shown in "a way that cannot
fail to elicit the wonder OF all who behold them.
Gold, silver, iron, copper and lead all abound
aud are suggestive OF the stores Of wealth that
lie hidden beneath the fertile soils Of our state.
An unequalled cheese exhibit is possible from
the state that leads Ill others in this particular
industry, while of dairying in general, stock
raising, agriculture horticulture, tobacco grow
ing ana manufacturing showing can be made
that would reflect credit upon any nation in the

Villas FOR THE SENATE.

The Hudson True Republican, ed
tied by George n Cline, contains the
following endorsement of Col Villas
for L. 5. Senator:
The country now above all other times needs
able, competent, and honest men IN high places.
The democrats Of Wisconsin, for the first time in
many years, will choose a United States Senator.
They should choose the ablest democrat In the
state. No sectional claims should interfere in
the election Of the man who would prove the
sblest in meeting the eucroachmens Of the
corrupt rings now in the senate Wisconsin has
one man that stands above all her other sons in
ability to defend the interests Of the state. He
has that patriotism and craftsmanship which
the country now 50 much needs. lie was more
closely than other man associated with the
Cleveland administration, of which every demo
crat in Wisconsin and OF every state in the
Union Is 50 proud. The legislr ture should elect
Mr.. Villas to succeed Senator Spooner; he will
more than ill the place. Wherein one was a
shrewd politician, the other is an able statesman.
Wisconsin would be proud of him.

AFTER ELECTION THOUGHTS.

The editor Of the Lancaster Teller
thus gives his ideas of what caused
the destruction of the republican
party:
The party has been scuttled into destructive
eddies by incompetent muckle heads VINO have
little comprehension OF genuine manhood rs
tadpole has Of heaven. With such pilots run
ming the boat ruin was inevitable. If the demo
crats now about to 60 into possession do the same
way they may expect the same result. II those
I'm charge OF the offices run them as If they we're
mere business situations devised for them as
individuals, with the privilege OF dealing out
the spoils to their particular friends without re
gard to the proper service OF the people, when
the time comes the people will sit down on them
Just they have on those who now go out. If
the democrats do give good service, they will
be retained until new party on a new digest Of
principles comes into vogue. The Republican
pretenders have proven false on so many trials
that It VIII be very difficult for them to regain
sufficient confidence to reinstnte them. Parties
like individuals may fail when they do right
but doing right is the surest road 10 confidence
and permanent success.
