been in progress all day near Griboro
on the road to Fillippidia. Two brigades
Of Greeks with many guns, two COM
panies Of sappers and a squadron Of
cavalry attacked the Turks. who were
almost without artillery. The Greeks

(the bayonets) could not be used. Al

American wool growers are likely to
gain some advantages in prices through
the great reduction in the supply Of
Australian wool which must ensue from
the shortage of the pastursge in the
great wool-produciug are of that coun-
try. Australian sheep are reported
starving to death in large numbers and
others are being slaughtered for their
skins, so that it is estimated that one
half of the usual wool clip of that coun-
try will be sacrificed in this way As
last years clip amounted to 643, 900, 900
pounds, the effect of this will be very
materially felt.

Hope Reviying.

From all sections Of the country come
reports of increased activity in all lines
Of business. Factories and foundries
that have lain idle for many months will
again be started up and additional labor
will be employed in those that have been
running on reduced time with smaller
force. The change has come almost
within few weeks. Hope was revived
by the election of Major Mckinley as
President, but the well-known difficulty
of fastening through Congress a Tariff
bill has delayed realization. As it be-
comes more plain that home industries
are really to be protested from the com
petition of the foreigner new life is being
infused into American enterprises. I'm
certainty chills trade The conviction
that four years Of Protection are to be
ours has made business men once more
willing to enter into engagements for the
future. The depression following the
recent Free Trade experiment has taught
US costly lesson In the railway SER
vice alone over a quarter Of million Of
men were thrown out of employment
because the mills, factories and all in
dustrial enterprises no longer furnished
Tonnage. If country is prosperous its
railroads prosper. They are the great
distributors. The money they receive is,
all but very small portion, spent in the
public service. Interest on bonds and
dividends on stocks are but the commits
SIGN charged by the discussing agent. Ia
most cases this commission is far below
the ruling rate Protection will put
money in circulation that is held now BY
capitalists too prudent to undertake to
compete with the products of foreign
pauper labor Men now idle will once
more find employment in the shops and
factories and on the railroads. The en-
ployment of these men will bring bust
ness as well to the storekeeper, and the
farmer will again find a more profitable
demand for his products

Prince GeOrge's Politics.

The Republicans Of Prince Georges
county held their primary meetings last
week to send delegates to the State and
Judicial Conventions, and to nominate
a local ticket, with the result that two
conventions were held on Monday and
Two local tickets placed in the field, and
the rank and file of the party in
chaotic condition.
The difficulty, it is charged, grew out
Of rivalry between candidates for the
Judgesbip nomination, but it is plain to
be seen that such was not the real cause
of the deplorable condition of PARTY lf-
fairs now existing in that county. The
strife was brought about by the meddle-
some interference of a gentleman, high
in official position, who used the patron
age AMI power of bis high office to
secure the nomination of delegates to
the legislature favorable to his candida
cy to the United States Senate. He
may seek to pose before the public as a
political patriot all he pieases, but it is
plain to be seen by every one that he
is playing personal politics all be knows
how, to the disorganization of the party
if permitted to continue. Personal
politics generally bring about disaster
aud the result of the Prince George !;
primaries is not an exception to the
rule. There is some consolation, how
ever, in the fact that some time inter
venes vet before the election and our
political neighbors can, if they will, get
together, adjust their difficulties and
harmonic for the party's good. And
this should be done. lift is the purpose
of the discordant elements to hand over
our party, bound hand and foot to the
common enemy, why, do so manly, in
a straight forward way Do not seek
its downfall by despicable means. If
it is not, and we firmly believe it is
not, then in a spirit of genuine lib
erality, con over the situation, realize to
what such a spirit of belligerency will
inevitably lead, and for the party's good
heal up the differences and make ready
for the approaching political fray

The end of uncertainty regarding
daties on imports gives greater conf
dence alike to those who have opposed and
those who have favored the change. The
great strength in stocks particularly in
those of the Granger list reflects assur-
auce of heavy crops The remarkable
rise in wheat, Notwithstanding that as
surrance is based on heavy buying for
export and belief that foreign demands
will be large. To these must be added
another element of confidence scarcely
observed a week ago. The heavy in
crease in receipts of gold, whether from
one side of the Alaska border or the
other, swells deposits at the minis and
in the banks of the country and if the
yield from new regions answers current
expectations, may have and influence

1t is no longer fashionable for the
bridal couples to 60 to large cities or on
trip to Europe for their wedding jour
ney says the Indianapolis Journal. The
sentimental period must be spent in
some country place wayside inn or in
some quiet old town. A couple who
desired to go to country place nearby
advertised in paper that is distributed
well over the state for just what they
would like in the way of an ideal resort
for their honeymoon. Not more than
week or ten days after the advertisement
appeared they received dozen or more
answers. Previous to the wedding the
husband-to-b be visited several of those
whose letters read most invitingly, and
selected the place he liked the best The
four weeks they spent there were more
like story book than a reality The
rooms were large and airy the table was
exquisite in its cleanliness and the
viands that were spread before them
were deliciOusly tempting. A horse
and carriage were at their disposal the
river not more than a mile away, and
scenery and loa6ing spots were plenti-
full that new one could be found every
day.

The promptness with which the silver
Democrats in the States in which there
are to be campaigns this fall have accept
ed ex-Congressmaa Towne's suggestion
of abandoning the features of the
Chicago platform except that of free
silver has givenaMr Bryrn pain. 1t
is well understood that the silver mine
owners who are the backbone of the
silver campaign look upon Towne as a
far more available presidential candi-
date for 1900 than Bryan, and are
anxious to substitute Towne for Bryan
in the affections of the silver Democracy
as rapidly as possible. Certainly they
have been very successful in their first
efforts and their success is recognized
BY Mr. Bryan as greatly endangering
his own political prospects.

1t must be discouraging to those who
have been insisting that the free coinage
of silver at false ratio is the only hope
for business prosperity to find that
nature is cooperating with those other

ing not only plentiful crops at profitable
prices, but producing an enormously in

Secretary Sherman's utterances prov
ed to be the same vigorous, clear-head,
well-poised statements that Senator
Sherman's were despite the croakings of
those who insisted that his sphere of
usefulness has ended. His ringing and
vigorous letter to Ambassador Hay has
recently been supplemented by a series
of interviews with representatives of
New York papers in which his utteran-
ces upon numerous international ques-
tons have been quite as clear, vigorous.
and we'll received and have shown to
those who took the trouble to look into
the matter that President Mckinley
made no mistake in selecting him for
this important pOuition in his cabinet.

The favorable expressions which have
followed President McKinley's desire
for a special commission to devise plans
for the reorganization of the currency
system of the country show that this
suggestion has struck popular chord
among the people irrespective of parry
The currency troubles of the past two
or three years coupled With the fact that
a specially selected commission from the
business communities of the country
would be more likely to examine all
sides of the question thoroughly than
could any committee Of Congress, make
the Presidents suggestion especially
popular and the subject Of approval
generally.
