viding that no obstacles should be
put in the way of organizing the
different Christian communions of
the Turkish Empire seems to be the
sbadowy pretence on which the Bull.
garian principality, which is nomi-
nally under the suzerainty OF Turkey,
now comes toward.
The fact seems to be that the i'm.
broglio of Turkey with Greece gives
Bulgaria chauce of which she is
eager to anvil herself. The other
Balkan States may easily core to the
similar conclusion. There is no one
of them which does not nurse griev
auces against the political conditions
prescribed by the Berlin treaty,
which defined their positions. In the
case of Bulgaria. that people we've AZ
much the sport Of international sci
fishness as Greece has more recently
been BY the treaty of Sautefano,
which was so quickly upset, Great
Bulgaria was created, with seaport
at salonica, scheme which filed
the Bulgars with passionate enthusi
asm. The substitute in the Berlin
treaty was an arrangement by which
the proposed political plan was abro
gated. The great nationality was
cut in two, onehalf leJt in direct sub.
lection to the Turk, the other al
lowed to exist as All autonomy under
I Turkish suzerainty. This has rank
ed bitterly ever since in the hearts of
the Bulgarian people, and it is by no
means surprising that they take ad-
vantage of the present situation.
That the nominal demand made is
merely cover for large purpose
seems to be in reason. The impe
rious manner with which the Bclga
rians have presented an ultimatum
carry ing the threat of instant war
leaves no other conclusion.
With this p aspect looming befo: e
her, Turkey will scarcely venture to
send the reinforcements called for
by the situation in Thessaly. She
could not venture to strip herself of
IL powerful defence against complied
tons SO dangerous. A Bulgarian
army pouring into Northern Mace
dcnia and co operating with the
Greek would completely cut her
communications, and the Turkish ar
my i'll Greece would be paralyzed.
At war in the Balkans, the effect OF
Turkey would plainly be, from IL
military point of view, that she
would be compelled to fall back
from any further invasion of Greece
and assume strict defensive in Ma
cedonia. If the Bulgarian threat is
moro than pure bluff, it mny we'll be
the deus OK macbina to compel Il
prompt intervention of the Greek
Powers. 1t is well understood that
the whole philosophy which underlay
the absurd European policy of the
last three months is the desire TO re
tain present political divisions in
tact. With war raging in the Balk
ans, the contagion of which would
quickly spread through all the prin
cipalities, that diplomatic dream
would speedily be made hopeless
1 addition to this, the confederate
powers themselves could scarcely
hope to keep them selves aloof from
mutual embodiment. The precipi
tation of this new factor in the Eas
tern war problem would be of the
most far reaching consequences. All
those who sympatLize with gallant
Greece in her struggle will welcome
such change in the situation, if it
comes about.-N. Y. journal.

1t is said New York will be with

aud the prospect for its revival in the
succeeding years are by no means
promising. 1t is almost safe to say
that an aggregation of astars" like

metropolis during the past years will
not be gathered together again after
such lapse of time and change.

OF affairs to be regretted. In the at

Memphis, March 1S.-Hundreds of
people, mostly negroes, were landed on
the levee yesterday afternoon by the
relief steamers that are daily visiting
the flooded districts adjacent to this
city. Vague reports reached here last
night of the drowning of several peo-
pie in Arkansas yesterday, but these
cannot be verified. For the first time
in many days the river is stationary,
marking 1855, but the rise at Cairo and
the reported heavy rains in Missouri
and other states will only serve to in
crease the broad expanse of water in
this vicinity. There was a steady
downpour of rain in Arkansas and
west Tennessee all day yesterday.
The gauge at Memphis yesterday
morning indicated 1856 feet, this being
a rise of two-tenths of a foot in the
"a hours ending at a. m. At Cairo at
the same time the gauge indicated
49.6, a rise of two-tenths of a foot in
the same period At Helena rise of
four-tenths of foot occurred in "a
hours, the gauge showing 459 feet.
Heavy rains throughout the district
prevent any promise of speedy relief.
At Greenyille the height is 1872 feet,
and at Vicksburg 41.9 feet. At the lat
ter place the rise has been two-six-
teenths of a foot in "a hours. The
water at this point is now nine-tenths
of foot above the danger line. AT
Shreveport and points below the rise
continues. The situation in the flooded
districts remains practically unchang-

London, March 1S.-The secretary of
the Byron society has received a tele-
gram from Athens stating that the
sultan, desiring to preserve peace, has
offered to withdraw the Turkish gar
rison from Crete and to assign the
island to King George, to be occupied
and administered by Greece, with a
recognition of the imperial suzerainty
of the sultan, taking the form of an
annual tribute. The telegram states
that these terms are entirely agreeable
to the Hellenic cabinet. as well as to
the Cretan Mohammedans, who prefer
annexation to autonomy.

In the new Congressional Directory,
which was laid on the tables,of the mem
.bers at the opening of the extra session,
last Monday, appears the biographies, pre-
pared by themselves of President McKin-
ley and his cabinet. Mr.. Mckinley, it will
be remembered, in early life was school
teacher. 1t is not SO well known, however,
that he has chosen two school teachers
among those selected for his constitutional
advisers. General Alger, it appears, taught
school two winters before he commenced
the study Of the law. and Secretary Long
kept school two years before he became
distinguished in the political world. More
over, Secretary Wilson was for six years
professor Of agriculture in the Iowa Agri-
cultural College. Vice-President Hobart's
biography in the same volume brings out
the fact. also, that he was school teacher
before he began his career as lawyer.
School teachers will probably take courage
from the success which has attended 50
many Of their brethren under the present
administration, and regard their profession
as no bar to any honor that may be con-
ferred under our system Of government.

Tnrkex Encouraeed hx tha Powers.

London, March 17.-According to a
Vienna dispatch to The Times there is
some curiosity manifested in Austrian
official circles as to whether the pro-
gram of the powers is to hold good in
the event. of an outbreak of war in
Macedonia. The porte has been en-
couraged. it is said, by several of the
great powers to send large bodies Of
troops to districts along the Greek
frontier. and there is no doubt that, in
the event of war the Turks would be
allowed to deal with the Greeks with
out fear of European Intervention.

New York, March 1S.-Mayor Strong
has removed Andrew d. Parker from
the office of police commissioner of
New York for neglect of official duties.
This action is a result of the long con-
tinued quarrel in the police board,
President Roosevelt and Commissioner
Andrews, on the one hand. being OPP
posed by Commissioners Fred Grant
and Parker. Mayor Strong has sided
with the Roosevelt faction, while SUI
perintendent of Police Conlin has been
upheld by Parker and Grant. The dis
agreement in the police board has
tended toward the decentralization Of
the department.

name of "Oliver Optic" William T.

over 80 years.

pension policemen after specified term Of
service, and we are told By the reports from
Trenton Monday night, that there were .
great many patrolemen on hand from
various sections of the State to push the
measure along. II it is the proper thing to
pension men who accept public service as
policemen, why not pension men who can
not get public jobs, and who don't earn as
much in private station as the men who
ask pensions. Pension every body, and stop
the imposition.

President Mckinley has Congress on his
hands, that body having assembled in
special session on Monday last. The bust
ness for which this session is held is to de-
wise ways and means by which the revenues
will equal the expenditures and afford pro-
lection to manufacturers-to the end that
the mills may be opened wider, wages in
creased, real estate values rise, and general
prosperity take the place OF general pros
tration. These are only the plain needs of
the hour. and no President nor any previ-
Gus Congress ever entered upon their duties
with more hearty good will of the Ameri-
can people than today goes out to Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Congress that he
has assembled. We all want to see the
manufacturers, the laborers and the farm
ers prosperous, and if higher tariff is the
remedy, let Mr. Mckinley and the Con-
gress fix that limit as high as the sky and
as broad as the land.
