Indiscrininate slaughter.

Canea, Feb. 1S-Rumors of whole
sale massacre of Mussulmans at Sitia
have reached here, some of the re-
ports placing the number killed at 1000,
which includes almost the entire Mos
lem population of the town 1t is said
that men, women and children were
killed indiscriminately by the
Christians 1t is impossible at present
to confirm the reports, but the rumors
have created the deepest anxiety here.
General Bor, who is in command of
the gendarInie at Canea, has sent two
Italian officers of the gendarmie at
Sitia in a gunboat to inquire into the
truth or falsity of the reports.
The force at Voucouiis, which is gar
risoned by 500 Turkish troops, has been
besieged for several days by a large
force of weli-armed insurgents. Yes
terday, the commander of the besieg-
ing force called upon the Turkish COM
mander to surrender, and promised
safe conduct to anv of the garrison
who chose to accept it.
The Turks refused to surrender on
anv terms 1t is stated that the gar
rison has provisions enough to last for
20 days and a plentiful supply of am
munition.
It is reported that Greek troops
started today for Voucoulis, to aid the
insurgents in the capture of the place.

Turks Cannot Land.

Athens. Feb. 1s.-It is asserted here
that a Turkish force embarked at Con-
stantinople today and sailed for Crete.
They viii not be permitted to land,
for Greece is firmly determined to en-
force her decree, ordering the fiotilla
of torDedoes to prevent the debarka-
tion of Turkish reinforcements en- the
island. 1t is stated that the command
ers of the foreign squadrons in CreIan
waters have induced Colonel Vassos
not TO bonn bard the town of Halepa,
which he was preparing to do.
The situation on the frontier of
Greece is very threatening, and it
would not be surprising to hear of
actual hostilities there at any time.
All the available Turkish troops are
being concentrase ed on the frontier.
In the present temper of the troops,
a very slight incident might bring
about a serious collision.

Citizen: The First Regiment of h. fautry, x. c. A.. can now safely boast of the best band in the territory Un- der the reorganization thlrty-three members are mustered in, forming a regulation band. The philharmonics, under the leadership Uf MT. r. Ronds- tadt, have been absorbed in the c0m- bination, and fourteen members of the old regimental band became mem bers of the new MT. Rondstat has demonstrated his ability as leader by the splendid organization he made of the PhilharmonicS, and in the new combine will still carry out the tactics which have made the Philharmouics the best musical combination in the territory. Col Martin has been labor ing for number of months for the consummation of this plan and is cer- tainly to be congratulated upon the result. Tucson should do all she can in every way, to offer encouragement, for the summer Is coming ana the memory of last seasons delightful open air concerts will certainly carry far another similar arrangement.

rhe county.s lndIgent sicI..

From Sl2.O00 to Sl5, ,O00 annually is an enormous sum tc expend fer the care of the indigent sick in county of no greater population than this. and this heavy drain upon the tax payers has given ample cause for com plaint which has frequently arisen.
 When the contract was awarded to the Sisters Hospital year ago. there was pretty general dissatisfaction ex- pressed at the price which was to be paid. As there were no other bidders however, there was nothing left for the board of supervisors but to award the contract to the sisters. However, the board gave public notice that on a certain day, protests would be heard from dissatisfied citizens. On the date specified for hearing of the matter, not d citizen was present and not a protest was offered. Conse- unentiy the sisters continued in the fulfillment of their contract.
 This year matters assumed a differ ent phase, Dr. J. V. Calf, who recent ly located here, filed bid, and offered to care for the sick for 9S cents per day per patient. The bid of the sisters was sl2O, or an advance of 2 cents per day over the doctors bid Taking the average of 30 patients, this means a difference of some $2. 100 a year to the county. Objections were raised to awarding Dr. Calf the contract, Dut these objections were met by the doctor, who had bond of S, GOO ready to file. The bond represented sureties to the amount of S50O0O and was ample to cover any breach of contract, should one arise in it's carrying out. The board finally rejected all the bids and declared that they would adycr- tise anew
 If Dr. Calf was the lowest bidder; if he was responsible; and if his bond was ono which offered sufficient security for the faithful performance of his obligation, certainly, in Che light of fairness, he was entitled to the award aud should have had it.- [Daily Citizen.

Credit For Farmers.

We have lately given some account OF
the operation of agricultural banks IN
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security as
farmers can offer. The farmer is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money a long time before he can get
any back. As to most of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on a bust
ness where the stock is turned over but
once a year. Furthermore, as crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period OF
a few weeks, it is particularly impor-
tant to the farmer that ne should not be
compelled to realize on his harvests I'M
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet he must
sell a good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not a good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take, and
it is unlawful for our national banks to
accept it. The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled to sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to set credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made a practice of lending to farmers
have made a great deal of money out OF
it, for the absence of competition en-
ables them to get high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own country
no effort has been made to afford agrl-
culture in general the capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
ing on farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
Of crops. The changed conditions OF the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles so as to get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either to afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders to be frozen out by ipsolv-
ency. with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.

one candidate received more than four
fifths OF the whole vote cast and two
others an odd two or three. A motion
was made to make the ballot formal.
The chair ruled the motion out Of
order. Another voter then moved to
suspend the rule and make the nomin-
alton by reclamation. This was also
ruled out. These rulings astonished
the natives and almost paralyzed the
caucus. Either motion could have
been properly entertained by the chair.
But the chairman had in mind an in
cident in the state republican conven-
ton. A candidate among several re-
ceiyed a larger number of votes than
any of the rest and an attempt was
made to force his nomination on the
informal ballot. This would have
been manifest injustice to the other
candidates and the chair refused to en-
terrain motion to make the ballot
formal and the election unanimous. A
formal ballot resulted in the election
of another candidate This is my rec
election Of the matter In our case
the choice of the candidate on the IN
formal ballot was so positive and the
majority so large, it was nearly unani-
nous, that no injustice could be done
any other candidate for that nomina-
tion A motion to make the ballot
formal was to save time as it was
plainly unnecessary.
