Europe
The Kansas populists who have de
cided that the teachers in the univer-
sity consist only OF populists, are re-
verting TO the principles OF those who
believed in the union OF church and
state. The qualifications OF teacher
are his ability 10 impart knowledge and
10 inspire pupils with love and reyer-
ence for il as well as a comparat vely
thorough understanding of the psr.icu-
lar subject he is paid to lecture upon.
IL his religion or politics are ID be taken
into consideration also il is conceded
that the intellectual requirements will
sink into the ba .kground. for the reason
that political AMI religious differences
divide men by gulf thst reason can not
bridge. The Kansas university faculty
has contained scholars OF rare ability
who have been driven away by legis.
lators whose views did not coincide
with theirs. Doubtless the university
will not be DESTROYED but its growth will
be checked and its standing with other
schools be degraded.
In the populist demand that the
special priv eyes ID the few be abolished
there is the justice ard right that con-
quers by its own momentum and
weight. But destructive methods will
not win eqahty before the law as per ma
nently as that constructive Legislation
which increases the powe.s OF the peo-
pies institutions.
The modern Greeks appear TO be just
as good fighters as the three hundred at
Thermopylae. With the repeating rifle
or the short sword and spear of classical
Greece, it is just the same. The Greeks
kill in the proportion Of five to one. The
Turks are good fighters too, all fatalists
are. but the Tura's intelligence is small.
He has refrigerated since the days of
Saladin. The small cunning which the
Turkish system of espionage and assas
ination develops, has not produced great
soldiers fit &c cope with tie Greek The
English. French, Italian add American
sympathy is with the Greeks. The allies
OF the unspeakable Turk are 1.-The two
young despots of Europe, the Tsar OF
Russia and Emperor William of Ger
many" both of them half mad part Of the
time and wholly mad some of the time.
Ito such pass does a few generations
of absolute rule bring dynasty Greece
has taken up the cause of the perse-
cuted Armenians. She has done for
her neighbor Crete what America has
not dared do for neighbor Cuba. IL the
sympathy of the two most powerful
nations who believe in the righteous
ness of the Grecian cause is as strong as
the desire for new territory in Germany
and Russia. England and France will
take hand in the fight. Otherwise the
biographies will be revised ID read Ger.
many in Asia, Russia in Asia Minor.
The tsar and the emperor own as large
a share of the world as civilization can
stand. With the balance of power leaning
their way the sympathies o: England,
France and Italy are strengthened for
Greece and the Armenians. Two or
three Turkish victories assisted openly by
Russia and Germany would do more TO
bring about battle between the civil
liked nations OF England, France and
Italy against the barparous nations of
Russia and Turkey assisted by the
despotically governed soldiers of the
German William than any other cause.

There was IA refinement about her fea-
lures, and her English was pure, although
she said she was "a Russian subject

"crank, and refused to permit her To see
the mayor.

her home, without an order, and sent TO

kept for eight months. Her relatives. she
