WICKLOW.

An eviction party met with rather
warm reception, on July 18th, in Wick
low. William Bergin was a tenant on
the Littledale estate, and in the year
1894 judgment was obtained against
him for arrears of rent. and he was
evicted in April of the same year, INA
from that time until the 7th of June
it is stated that he owners of the Little.
dale estate were in possession. It was
alleged that. towards the latter end OF
May, a resident of Rathdrum purchased
the farm and was about to enter into
possession. On the 18th of June, William
Bergin and his wife and child entered
the house, and were living in 1t until
the eviction of July 18th. When bailltrs
and police came to dislodge him they
met with a determined resistance that
lasted for nearly an hour, being met ny
volleys of bottles, pieces of iron, ana
other missiles thrown through the roof
by the occupants, and the evictors had
some narrow escapes. Finally an en-
trance was effected, and with the as
sistance of the police, Bergin and hF
family were evicted.

Sisters in Alaska.

Sisters in Alaska.
We were up in Alaska,
A prospecting party of five;
Up in the Arctic circle,
Up near the North Pole;
And you couldn't guess what we saw
there.
It's the hardest country on earth:
Mountains and gorges,
Everlasting snow.
Bleak and cold
Blank solitude from sky to sky.
The old Yukon was behind,
The old Rockies ahead.
We struck for the Chikaht,
Bound for the mines,
The gold country placer mining. Klon-
dyke.
We didn't run across any population;
Black bears we heard,
And the Arctic owl.
And once a ptarmigan.
Canada stands out against America up
there.
We were a pretty rough gang:
Five good men in it.
The Oldest was toughest
And led the gang;
We hadn't a gun.
When out forty days.
And about half dead,
Getting short on rations,
Stiff in every joint,
We knew what kind of country it was.
Our gang had to push on;
We couldn't go back;
There's gold out at Klondyke,
And we'd die for the stuff;
We agreed to keep up the racket for ten
days or more.

IN nothing Is our journalism more
American than in The opportunity to
the people for expressing their grlev-
ances, OF for discussing matters that
affect the well-being Of the community.
While tho press avoids taking sides In
anything that hints Of private quarreIs,
the humblcst citizen, If he have just
cause Of offense against a public or
private corporation, however large and
influential, Is sure of having a hearing
II he appeals to the press. And, 10
many cases, the abuse Is remedied
simply from the fact that 1t is In the
power Of the individual to appeal to
the press. The opportunity given by
newspapers for the expression OF diff
ferent opinions on topics OF Importance
to the people at large, furnishes to
them o kind Of forum, or open court,
which Is one OF the best means Il in
teresting and educating the public, and
is certainly far more instructive than
the one-sided, dictstorial homiliess
which assume an air Of Importance and
authority.

LAS VEGAS is daily giving evidence
Of its pride In The OPrIc, and the pa
per has not given any cause for the
withdrawal Of encouragement, nor has
there been any such withdrawal, though
the spasm OF economy that always
strikes a community at the opening Of
. new year, with its myriad resolves,
etc, is always first felt in a newspaper.
This should not be the case. The pa
per, Of course, has not arrived, nor
does 1t eve hope to arrive, at that
beatifcscondition of perfection in which
it can please everybody; for, like men,
newspapers that attempt to please
everybody, please nobody. This jour-
nal aims, however, at the greatest
good to the greatest number, in the
best light it has been able to obtain
from the public atmosphere, and it
will always do that, and with this
intent, 1t asks the patronage that will
enable it to do so in a manner as
thorough as possible.

War between Turkey aud Greece
now appears imminent, and II the groat
powers continue their meddlesome dis
position, there Is a fair opportunity for
tho hostilities to become general. The
interference OF the powers with Greece
has rested upon a very slight founda-
iiop, looked AZ from any point Of view,
audit has not zen popular among the
people Of any Of the great Christian
nations. The uprising in Crete
asainst tho oppressive rule of the sui
tan was not the business OF all Europe,
except to sec that tho fght was fair
and according TO civilized rules. To
Greece 1t offered an opportunity to re-
claim its own and that it proceeded 10
do, at no risk to anyone else, until the
German kaiser developed q within that
IL was his business to compel Greece ia
keep tho peace with Turkey.
He has succeeded in getting ali
Europe TO accept his view to the extent
OF sending an identical note warning
Greece out OF the field. To that note
Greece has replied only by calling ou|
the reserves and preparing for wal
with Turkey. Inasmuch as II Germany
wanted to 60 to war, 1t would not ash
leave Of Greece, thoro Is no good reasor
why Greece may not proceed to declar,
war without the consent OF Germany
But there is where the chief trouble
hinges. Greece and Turkey Nigh
fight out their grievances without al
fecting the remainder Of Europe, bu
for the fact that the powers have grown
so arrogant they think nothing a &c
on without them having a hand in 1t.
II one puts q hand in,all the others are
bound to become jealous and fearfuI
lest the interfering one may acquire Z
few miles OF territory, and II they al
put a hand in to get their share, they
may precipitate tho long-threatened
general European war.
IL may BIO hoped the situation will
not lead to such a calamity. But IL the
war must come, America will have
enough to do to avoid complications on
its vi account and to produce sup,
plies for the armies.
