The Right Thing.

President McKinley's rule of imposing
the responsibility of local appointments
upon senators and congressman is not
original but is revival of the custom
that prevailed previous to the installation
of Clevelandism. 1t is the proper policy

1874 separate analysis chiefly carload lots showed AN
AVERAGE of 1901 per cent sugar in beet; e41 per

THIS REMARKABLE RESULT was accomplished by
farmers, unacquainted with the culture of beet
root, new land and under very trying cireum-
stances, the factory assured until May, and
majority of the acreage planted between JUNE

Municipal Elections.

Denver, April 6-In number of large
cities of the country local elections are
being held today. Chairman Jones of the
Democratic National committee recently
stated that he confidently expected that
Chicago, which went something like
10000 Republican last fall, will vastly
reduce and perhaps overturn this major
ity. The Democratic candidate for
mayor is Carter H. Harrison Jr., the son
of the murdered mayor of the same name.
The other great cities in which elections
are held are Cincinnati, St. Louis and
Cleveland. Denver is also holding
municipal election today. The contest
is practically between Mayor McMurray
and Ebenezer T. Wells. In Cripple
Creek an election is being held 10 select
officers for the recently combined cities
of Cripple Creek and West Cripple
Creek. Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Trim
idad, Grand Junction and nearly all the
other cities of the state are also holding
their municipal elections today.

In $500 not only was the field of bust

The merchant kept his own books. or

counts; wrote all his letters with a
quill and when they were written let
the ink dry by sprinkling il with sand.
There were then 10 envelopes, no post
age stamps, no letter boxes in the
streets, no collection of the mail. The
letter written, the paper was carefully
folded, sealed with wax or wafer, adj
dressed and carried TO the post Office,
where postage was prepaid at rates
which would now seem extortionate.
To send n letter which was a single
sheet of paper, large or small, from Bos-
ton to New York or Philadelphia cost
1sls and to Washington % cents; and
this when the purchasing power of a

The New York's engines have beer

PORTE'S ANSWER.
Turkey viii Agree to an Armistice
Under Certain Conditions:
Among Them the Annexation Of Thes.aIy
and q cio.ooo.ooo Indemnity-Ports
of Woo and frevesa to rs, Kept
Open for the Turkish Vessels

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 1.-THE porte
has replied officially to the note of the
powers ana declines To agree To an
armistice until the following condi-
tions are accepted:
The annexation of Thcssaly. an in
demnity of elO, 0OJ, 600 Turkish and the
abolition of the capitulations. The
porte proposes that pleniPotcntiaries
of the powers should meet at Pharsa-
las to discuss tho terms of peace, and
declares that il these conditions are
declined the Turkish army will con-
Time To advance.
The demand for the annexation of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally cedcd to
Greece ON the advice of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into the Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incursions
of Greek bands and the events imme-
diately preceding the war have proved
To the contrary. This is the substance
of the reply.
lhe ambassadors met Sunday to con-
slider the porte's answer, which is re-
garded rs raising an extremely grave
ssuc. IL is believed that representa-
tioas viii be- made to the sultan per-
sonally To induce a modification of
these terms. but il is foreseeu that
this will be very difficult, owing to
the attitude of the powerful old Turk
war party.
Ii the porte should prove obdurate n
European conference Is not improb-
able, although at present Russia is OPP
posed to this
Ii is regarded as quite certain that
the powers will not consent to a retro
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point,
because il would involve a violation of
the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace
of the balkans
Altogether the reply of the porte
has caused the greatest surprise. 1t
appears that during the discussion of
the note from the powers by the coun-
ell OF the sultan's ministers, news
reached the council that 5000 Greeks
had landed at Palona and were march

operating with other forces from Arta
This created bad impression among

LONDON. May IA dispatch TO the

the porte's reply demands in its con-
Guiding paragraph, an extradition
treaty with Greece, and that the ports
of Nolo and Prevesa be kept open for
vessels carrying food supplies TO the
Turkish troops.
ATHENS. May IA private dispatch
from Arta just received here says that

Wss Ii Murder or su eide:

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 1.-THE
dead body of n. s. Clark, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, member of the Mich
igan Bank and Lumber Co, was found
on one of the residence streets along
the Lake Shore road Saturday morn
ing. There were two bullet wounds,
and a revolver was found at his side
Diamonds and jewelry were found on
his person, but no money. The loca'
ton of the wounds make 1t rather
doubtful whether 1t is a case of sui
eide. When Clark left his hotel Friday
evening he said he was going for q
walk. He was so years old.
