the east travelled to Bethlehem to hail
the infant Jesus in the Manager as the
savior OF mankind. The ways, manners
and modes of living of these people
of the far-away orient are little known
and can be only family cO1nDrehended
from any written description, though
the worlds fair exhibits made by them
gives one very intelligent luea. IT,.
And yet, old as is the Turkish empire,
it's newer era of literature is said to be
devoid of originality. The Turk is es-
sentially lazy, and he is charactericticai-
~ absorptive One would suppose that
the natural tendencies of a nation lying
almost wholly i'll the tropics, to enjoy
it's dolce far niente, would have resulted
ages ago in the springing UP of a native
drama, original in every way. Such has
not been the case. Although the drama
in it's various forms and the lighter
orders of entertainment flourish in Tur-
key, they are not indigenous to the soil.
as it were The earlier histories of the
empire make no mention Of the drama,
and it is probable that it was first I'M
troduced in Greece, India or Egypt
possibly from all three-in different
parts of the empire.
Turks Like Comedy Best.
AS shown by the stage productions I'm
the Turkish theater at the worlds fair,
the Ottomans are more inclined to-
comedy than to tragedy. To the casual
visitor, Unable to talk Turkey the
comedy is very doleful, and it is neces-
sary for one to listen to the lecturer; :
who stands in a box near the stage and
explains as the play progresses to I'M
derstand what it is all about. The play
now being presented has an unpro-
nounceable title, but in plot it is so
like the old English comedy, Damon
and Pythias,' written by Richard Ed
wards in Queen Elizabeth's time, that
it is not at all improbable that the idea
was borrowed from that source, just
as dramatists of our own time receive
inspiration. If we listen to the lect-
urer" we will know what we are "tak-
ing in 'sThees, play, ladies and gem
.tlemen," says the swarthy, turbaned
individual, who prides himself on his
mastery Of the English language, sis

it all with equanimity, for he sincerely
desires peace. Who, then, wishes war?
They want to declare Bulgaria indie
pendent to make it a pretext for war.
But suppose they carry out their fell
purpose? Russia will simply say that
Bulgarian independence has been her
own desire all along. Ever the official
recognition of Ferdinand by The powers
which signed the treaty Of Berlin did
OF supply the desired motive for war,
for is he not already the ruler Of Bull
garia2 +
But who is it that gives the impetus
to- the European military equipment?
The German socialists recently said
that the army has undermined the
finances of more than ONE country,
causing poverty disaster and adding to
the success Of revolution; that if even
one-half Of the millions annually ex-
pended OH ornaments were devoted to
the welfare of the laboring classes the
greater social problems which threaten
and produce revolution might be solved
by peaceful and normal means. Is it
not, then, because he secretly recog-
nizes the truth of this that Wilhelm
wants war, in the hope that should vic
| tory wait on German, arms Germany
| may then be enabled to- nisband?&
! In 1868 German army Of 2O0, 900
! men was regarded as sufficient; in 1875
100000 men was the Limit, but at the
| present time 100000 men is pro-
| nounced inadequate and an additional
| half million demanded. In the earlier
days Of the military fever 100000
| marks was thought to- be enough for
ornaments; now S50,00O,OO0 is consid-
| cred too little, and the ultimate figure
| may reach 1,OOO,OOO,O0O. During the
twenty years from 1872 to- 1892 the to-
tai cost of the maintenance of the Ger
man army amounted to Ill, 100000 900
marks, which represents the annual
wages of 100000 Iaborers at two
marks per man per diem. What end
/ has the fiery Kaiser served by forcing
his new army bill upon Germany
There can be but one reply to- this:
Wilhelm has simply added to the bur
dens Of his people-nothing more He
cannot tell from what quarter his imagg,
mary enemy is going to approach He
is scared by a bugaboo and yet cannot
define the object exciting his apprehen'
sion.

Russia by what we know of her en-

On the other hand, the German en-

that while Bismarck was yet at the
helm Wilhelm, having made a long
speech, asked the chancellor for his

therefore, understand the middle Of it

many slzOs too small for the SUPER
natural development of the imperial
head which is to receive it,
AS far as Caprivi is concerned he can
say with the Roman ambassador:
Should I be successful in my mission
it will be said that my country sent
me; should fail, can say that I was
appointed by the emperor" Caprivi
indeed, has little to risk. The Prussian
who fears the ridiculous is more of a
coward than he who fears an enemy,
and Wilhelm himself has said that the
Prussian fears NO one but God. It is
notable that the longer the emperor's
speeches get the shorter Caprivi's be-
come.
Solution Of the Question.
The naval episodes at Cronstadt have
been regarded by Wilhelm with sus-
piciOus solicitude, although to receive
the French as guests and express sen
timents of international amity is not
to threaten Germany with the forcible
alienation of AlSace-LOrraine The best
! way to end that vexed question would
be through an international agreement
to make those provinces Independent
| and neutral, but as they belong at pres
! ent to Germany which would reg Ard
their loss as gain to France, the sim
plest way would be for Hrance to buy
them from Germany. Even by paying
f1OO,OOO,OOO for them France would
| still lose less than she does while they
belong to Germany. To Germany the
gain would also be distinct through
! the lessehing of the burdens the Ger
man people must bear as long as there
is apprehension of war with France.
But common sense is not so strong
as tradition. The French cannot "e-
frain from cherishing q sentiment of
revenge and seeking an alliance with
Russia. Notwithstanding their prog
ress in humanitarian principles they
continue to rave over military glory.
From the above mentioned sources
Germany and Bulgaria-arises the war
spirit, which like a piasma poisons the
atmosphere Of Europe. The outbreak
of war will depend on this: The inter-
ests Of the various powers are different;
what Russia seeks is no great moment
to France; what suits Austria may
menace Prussia, in view of the rivalry
of the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollelns.
Whatever else may be said, therefore,
Of the Triple Alliance OF OF the Franco
Russian union, both are clearly unsta-
bic. They were created only to threa.-
en- and counterbalance the relations Of
the various nations and the desires OF
some of the latter will play a lesser
u part as an exciting cause Of war than
the personal whims Of individuals. Rus.
sia has no real cause of war with
France. Russia cannot be concerned

THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO

WORLDS FAIR.


Mart Hirzel the local agent for the Pabst
Brewing Co. received telegram from
the company stating that they have
been awarded the exclusive contract to
sell their beer in all buildings erected
for the Worlds Fair at Chicago This
is great triumph for the Pabst Brew
inc Co. as brewers from all over the
United States contested for the con
tract and it speaks very highly for the
universal popularity of Pabst beer that
they succeeded in carrying away the
prize from so many competitors, 1t is
ertimated that fully fifty thousand bar
rels of beer WILDE sold on the grounds
during the six months Of the fair which
at eighe dollars per barrel means the
snug little sum Ct four hundred thou
sand dollars for the Pabst Brewing co.

value it will be to the company as an
advertisement for their beer.

Shaw the sage of Crandon would pro

Mondays Sentinel published a MAJ

be obliged to admit that in the matter
of territory the new county does not rob
either of the others. Each of them
will still be larger than the majority of

The Railway company should build
a ladies waiting room on to the depot.
There is only one waiting room at the
depot and that is crowded full every
day. In fact some days it is crowded
so full that it is imposs IDLE for a person
to get in or out. Ladies waiting for a
train here either have to stand outside
or elbow ii their way through crowd of
woodsmen into this room seeking with
tobacco smoke and filth all listen to
language that is unfit for the ears of
any one. We wish that the officials of
the road with their wives and families
would have to wait for only one train
in that hole so they could appreciate
the kind of accommodations that they
furnish the travelling public at this
place. We think one experience would
be sufficient to persuade them to put an
addition on to the depot.
