LIGHT BREAKING IN THE EAST.

During the tariff debate in 1894, our
Eastern brethren were warned by West
ern men that this magnificent agricul-
tural region west of the Missouri River
would not always pay tribute to New
York and the East. The announcement
was regarded as the vaporing Of enthu-
siasts. But they see things differently
now. Light is breaking on them. Here
we find that stsid old journal, the Pub
Bc Ledger Of Philadelphia, discussing
the effect which the growing trade Of
Galveston is going to have on the bust
ness interests Of New York. The Ledger
says: "The exultstion Of Galveston
over the success Of the work done by the
government to make that city deep
water port, and the alarm expressed by
New York because it's grain trade is
leaving it, lend Importance to the views
Of Aldace f. Walker, who thinks the
grain OF Kansas, Nebraska and all the
country west Of the Missouri will go to
the Gulf, as it's natural outlet, while
that of the Dskotas, Minnesota and all
the upper Mississippi Valley will con-
tinue to come eastward. In either case,
as much of it as possible will be water
borne, for grain is bulky, slow trans
portation does not injure it and it seeks
the cheapest mode of conveyance. Mr..
Walker is a railroad man, but he sees in
this the geographical and economic dis
tribution of the traffic. 1t will be no.
ticed that there is more encouragement
for Galveston than for New York in his
prophecy, since the former has few or
no rivals for it's share, while New York
must divide with every port from Boston
to Newport News"

THE WAR BETWEEN TURKEY AND
GREECE.

ADVOCATE readers, probably, are won
deEing what Greece and Turkey are
fighting about, and we have no doubt
many Of the Turks and Greeks are in
the same state OF mind.
Greece was once a powerful empire.
The great Xerxes spent four years in
raising and squipping an army to con-
quer Greece, yet Miltiades, with ten
thousand Grecian soldiers put six times
as many Persians to fight at Marathon.
Grecisns are proud Of their history,
hence they are proud of themselves.
They once claimed and possessed all the
islands OF the Hgian or Grecian archi-
peligo near them, and among the most
important of these was Gambia, or Crete,
as it is now usually known. These
islands have had varied history. After
conquests and reconquests in the long
ago, Crete was finally taken by the
Turks about two hundred years ago,
and they now hold the island as Turk
ish province. Much the larger portion
of the inhabitants are Greeks who wor-
ship according to the forms Of the Greek
church, whose recognized head is the
Gar of Russia.
The Greek Cretans have frequently
rebelled against Turkish rule, and nat
urally the Grecian government openly
sympathized with them. 1t was the
recent interference Of Greece in the do
mestic troubles Of Crete, growing out Of
the differences between Greeks and
Musaelnsu, that the present war had its

origin. Jealousies among the great
powers Of Europe operated for time
to discourage open war, and some Of
them tried to prevent it and to stop it
after il had begun. Il may be said in a
general way that the war ia but re-
newal of strife begun many centuries
ago between the believers Of two re-.
ligions or two modes Of worship, though
there are not wanting evidences Of deep
political interest in the outcome.
The Christian and Mohsmmedan are
enemies OF long standing Within the
memory Of middle-aged men Turkey
has lost large part Of her territory be-
cause Of her bRrbRrous treatment Of her
Christian subjects, Servia, Montenegro,
Roumania and Bulgaria have been taken
from her dominion on that account
Still, it is not to be concealed that
Russian political interest would be sub
served by the extinction OF the Turkish
empire through agency Of the present
war.
AS to the geography Of the war re-
giOn, a glance at any OF the school maps
will show that Greece is directly south
Of and adjoining the western part Of
Turkey In Europe; that Crete is south
east Of Greece, that Albania is west, and
Rumelia, Bulgaria and Servia lie ada.

occupies the peninsula between the
Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas.

REERIBUTION IS OYERTAKlNa THEM.


During the discussion Of the tariff bill
In the Senate in 1894, when charges
were made by the great newspapers of
the country that certain Senators were
trading in sugar trust stock, Mr.. PETER
offered and urged aresolution for ON inn
mediate investigation of the charges.
On motion Of Senator German, after
bitter speech, the resolution was laid on
the table. About ten days afterward,
Mr.. Lodge offered a resolution TO In
quire whether any and what political
party had been furnished campaign
funds by the sugar trust. On motion
OF Senator Allen, the resolution was
amended so as TO make the investigation
general, and it was agreed TO.
On the examination, some of the wit
nesses refused to answer certain ques,
tions, such 40 whether any and what
members OF the United States Senate
had been trading in stock Of the sugar
trust. The questions and the names OF
the refusing witnesses we're reported to
the Senate, and by order of that body
the witnesses were turned over to the
courts of the District Of Columbia to be-
dealt with according to the provisions Of
the laws Of the United States in such
cases. Indictments were found in all
Of the cases, and one Of them--that of
Chapman, was made a test case. He
was tried, found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment thirty days and to pay
fine OF 800, He appealed to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
that court has affirmed the judgment Of
the court below.
And now Mr.. Chapman must go to
jail just like an ordinary criminal, and
Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles, Of the
trust, A. D. Croker, and Mrs. Il. J. Ed
wards and john A. Shriver, newspaper
correspondents, who, also, refused to
answer questions put by the Senate
committee, will be tried as Chapman
was.
Rstribution has overtaken these men.
They deserve penitentiary sentences,
each and all Of them. They are the fell
lows-they and their kind-that are de-
bauching our politics and our leRisla-
tion. The sooner they are brought TO
bay the better it will be for them and
for the country. IL had come to be
the general opinion that high-toned
rascal could not be brought to justice;
that he was above and beyond the law
and that he might play his game to the
end with impunity. Chapman's case
will bear fruit in other quarters.

THE ORDER STOPPING THE COINAGE OF
SILVER DOLLARS.

Those "honest money" men who pa
rade President Jefferson's order to sus-
pend the coinage of dollars and use 1t as
an argument to show that he was op-
posed to the use of silver money, need
to be occasionally reminded that they
either do not understand plain English,
or they want to conceal che truth. The
President did not suspend the coinage
Of silver money. He only stopped the
making Of dollars, Half dollars, quar-
ters, dimes and half dimes continued to
be coined. In eighty years-up to 1873

ours were new and full weight, and
hence our dollars were shipped abroad

President stopped their coinage. Here

SIR-In consequence Of representation
from the Directors Of the Bank of the United
States that considerable purchases have been
made Of dollars coined at the mint for the

be coined at the mint shall be Of small de-
nominations, so that the value Of the largest
piece shall not exceed half dollar.s

A MuCH NEEDED Law in KANSAS.

by the late Legislature, surprised
great many people, including members
Of the committee charged with the in
vestigation. One would reasonably ex
pect, when member Of legislative
body charges corrupt motives or prac.
tlces against one of his colleagues OIL
against any person or persons interested
IN proposed or pending legislation, that
he would have the manhood to retract
if he found himself in error, or courage
to tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth about it, when
called upon officially to testify concern
ing the matter. But the examination OF
witnesses in the pending investigation
has developed the common weaknesses
Of men in these respects. Men who
would not like to be charged with either
falsehood or coWardice, and who would
be offended at any accusation involving
their manhood, in several instances re-
fused to answer questions which went to
the vital points Of the matters in hand
1t was on what members Of the Legisla-
ture had themselves said, arousing dam
aging suspicious of bribery, that the in
vestigation was ordered and money
appropriated to pay the expenses. Then,
when the work was begun, witnesses
refused to answer the most important
questions, and because Of such refusal,
the whole proceeding is likely to end in
humiliating farce.
Kansas needs law that will provide
for compelling witnesses to testify be-
fore committees Of the Legislature con.
cernlng any and all matters involving
the honor Of it's members, the exercise
Of it's powers, or the administration Of
its rules.
Our State constitution Cart. 8, Sec.
y provides: "The judicial power of
this State shall be vested in a Supreme
Court, District Courts" etc.
The constitution of the United States
Cart. 3, Sec. y provides: "The judicial
power of the United States shall be
vested in one Supreme Court, and in
such inferior courts" etc.
The punishment of witnesses for con
tempt, in refusing to testify, is the exer-
else Of "judicial power" and therefore it
comes within the Jurisdiction Of the courts
Of the State, just as like csses,under oper-
alton Of United States laws, come within
jurisdiction of United States courts.
When Chapman, Hsvemeyer and others
refused to answer material questions
put to them by the sugar trust investi-
CATION committee, they were reported to
the Senate, and that body certified the
names of the recalcitrant witnesses, to-
gether with copies Of the questions that
they refused to answer, to the United
States District Attorney for the District
OF Columbia for treatment under the
law. That officer presented the cases to
the grand jury and indictments were
found in all OF them. Chapman was put
on trial, and was convicted and SEN
fenced to thirty days Imprisonment and
to pay q fine of 800. He appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and that tribunal affirmed the judgment
Of the court below.

THE WOOL TRADE.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says of the wool trade:
The market has shown very little activity
during the past week, except in fine woods.
There has been great activity once more in
Australian, the movement last Friday and
Saturday being heavy. The purchasers have
been principally mills, the wool being bought
TO go out Of the market. The recent sales in
Australian have not attracted as wide at en-
tion as did those Of the previous week. but
they appear to have fully equsled them in
8 ze, the total in each case being not far from
$500 bales. Rumor places the sales OF the past
week at higher figures than we have given,
but this is due to the fact that n good deal of
wool which we included in our previous mar
ket reports has only recently begun TO bo de-
livered.
The movement in Australian had not come
TO an end on Monday, but the appearances in
dicate that it has subsidized tC quite con-
siderable extent, it being generally believed
that the kind Of wool recently in request has
been pretty well used up AZ the current
prices. The large mills are still in the mar
ket in quest of good lots at prices satisfactory
TO themselves, but the eagerness TO sell is
much less marled than ii was. The small
believed that they will be until the heavy
weight season opens.
Any change in prices which may have oc-
Cured has been of sporadic character
Slight concessions would, undoubtedly, start
n large buying movement. but no general
tendency toward concessions is observable
There is widespread feeling that the dep'e-
tion OF the stocks OF Australian makes it GER
tain that higher prices for what is left can
soon be obtained. For this reason the test
wool of this class is now practically withheld
from the market, and the grease price has
in some instances been advanced cents over
q week ago
The sales of the week amount to l,5l9,0C0
pounds domestic and 1903, 0OO pounds foreign
making a total of 4,552,0 90 against total Z
4,6l0, 00) for the previous week, and total Of
5,s13, 600 for tho corresponding week last yea. .
Sales since January ], 1897, amount to $50, 59i,
900 pounds against 1873 9g3, 800 pounds last year
at this time.
