 Being Kept On the Alert.
 Elasona, April 12.-The Turkish staff officer who was sent to Krania by Edhem Pasha to ascertain definitely with re- gard to the invasion, replied definitely that the presence of Greek regulars among the invaders has been positively proved, and there is reason to believe that Greek officers of the regular army were in charge.

IN THE SILENT TOMB.
Followed There By Large and Sorrow ing Cortege, the Remains of Mrs. Louisa c. Evans Were Laid Magnificent Floral Tribute
 From Her Friends.

Sunday afternoon the remains of Mrs. Louisa c. Evans, beloved wife of Hon. Frank V. Evans, were consigned to a tomb in Oak Hill, there to await the res urrection morn, when the chosen of God will gather around the Great White Throne and sing hallelujahs and praises to God.
 It was an ideal afternoon and the eor't- ege which assembled al the family resl- dence to hear the eulogy over the re mains of the saintly wife and mother was immense, attesting the high esteem ana admiration borne for deceased, who in life was loving wife, devoted mother and true Christian friend.
 Al the appointed hour Rev pr. l.. s. Handley, pastor of the Central Presby- terian church. who had been Mrs. Evans beloved pastor for sixteen years, con ducted the ceremony, which was beauti- full in its touching pathos and pure Chris- tianity. The good mans voice trembled with true emotion as he dwelt in tender words over the noble deeds of Mrs. sEy- ans, whose hand was ever outstretched to aid the needy and whose heart ever went out to the distressed.
 The reverend divine dwelt lovingly over the zeal and energy with which the de ceased ever labored for the upbuilding of the church and the strengthening of the cause of Christ. His word picture of the

measure appealed to him more strongly
than to anybody else because his dis
tress was greater. OF course there was
depression in other industries and there
was lack Of employment for laboring
men, but agricultural depression was at
the bottom Of the trouble.
| This fact needs to be kBpt In mind in
devising measures for the revival of pres.
perity. So long as agriculture remains
depressed, so long as the great producing
classes of the west are in distress there
can be no general and permanent return
of prosperity. Tariff construction must
be carried on with this fact constantly in
view II the result is to contribute to a
permanent change for the better. Any
revision that tends to increase the
farmers burden of taxation is N revision
In the wrong direction, unless compensa-
ton is furnished him. The farmers of
the West have constituted in the past
the back bone and mainstay Of the Re-
publican party. The manufacturing dis
triots have in the past contributed little
to the Republican vota, notwithstanding
protection benefited them more
directly than any other
class. Nothing in the future can be
more certain than that if two years roll
around without some substantial i'm
proyement In the prices of agricultural
commodities the farmers will turn again
to free silver, and this time it will be
impossible to turn them back. The well
fare of the agricultural classes must
therefore be steadily kept in mind by our
country committed four years hence to
the experiment. of free silver. 1t Is not
wages that require fixing now so much as
prices.

The vote for free silver in the country
last fall was largely due to the existence
OF hard timer. Comparatively few per-
sons who supported that policy had ever
made study Of the currency question or
had any very definite ideas AS to how
free coinage would work. 1t was recon-
mended as cure for hard times, and
was taken very much as patent medicines
are taken by the sick, on the strength of
the label attached to it. OF course there
| was in certain states which produce large
| quantitie of silver a mole definite
motive-that of making a market for
their chief product-but in the great
majority of the states the vote for free
silver was based on nothing more deflni5e
than hazy notion that in some way it
would prove q panacea for hard times
Free silver was defeated, largely by the
aid of business ;nen of all parties who
understood better than the agricultu raj
and the laboring classes tine dangers
which it would expose us to. But while
the agitation was defeaied for the time
being it was 10y no means killed. 1t. is
in sort of dormant state now, but con-
tinuance of hard times will surely re-
vive it, and, we fear, make it invinoible.
Omitting the silver producer, the class
which embraced the free silver heresy. the
most earnestly, and was turned away
from it with the greatest difficulty was
the agricultural class, especially i'll the
West; and the obvious reason for it was
that that class was the most unprosper-
GUS. The fall of prices which had been
going On for years had been especially
ssvete in agricultural products, and the
farmer had suffered more than anybody
else. Free silver iu the guise of relief
