CoNsTANTINoPLE, May /. The
question of the protection of the Greeks
i'll Turkey is still unsettled. The porte
argues that the war has virtually an
aulled the treaties between Turkey and
Greece, and that Grecian subjects,
therefore, lose the right to their for

The prosperity of that portion
of the Indian Territory in the Vi
entity of Vinita, it is said, has
never been equaled, not even in
1894, when the Cherokees drew
1855 each, as pay for most of
Oklahoma. The wheat crop has
been the greatest in the history
of the country, and the corn
gives fine promise. All the
towns are enjoying good
growth, and the merchants are
selling much goods. A great adj
vantage to the farming eommu-
nifty has been the fact that they
have been denied credit, and
consequently the proceeds of the
crop belong to them instead of
to the merchants.

THE American Agriculturist
says: The German farmers are
prosecuting with energy their
fight against the grain exchanges
which deal in Cultures. :"
Obliged to abandon former open
trading of this character, CO.
terie of Berlin grain merchants
has been meeting in the capacity
of a club, pursuing their old
methods. The law has followed
them, however, and the matter
will now be appealed to the
highest court in the empire. The
final decision will prove interest
ing in view of the strong senti-
ment not only among the agri-
cultural classes of Germany, but
in England and the United States
as well, against this form of
speculative trading.

THE Texas Farmer calls atten-
ton to the fact that the state rail-
way commission values the rail-
ways of Texas.at more than double
their assessed valuation, and in
some instances the earnings are
more than twelve per cent. on
the commissioners valuation,
even though betterments are
charged in with operating ex-
penses. Railroad charges are
taxes upon producers of Texas,
and should be kept to a moderate
return on a fair investment. AS
sessments for taxation should be
proportionately as high for rail-
way properties as for other prop
critics.

THE deadly bicycle has now
affected the travel to Europe,
announces the New York Journal.
Among its enemies must be
counted the steamship compan-
les, who declare that thousands
of Americans will stay home this
year and inspect their own coun-
try on a wheel. If this is true,
their country at least will remain
their friends. In estimating the
blessings of the "bike" no one
seems to have considered that it
is making our people acquainted
with the United States. Hun
dreds of intelligent girls in New
York City have discovered that
the Harlem River is not the Hud-
son and there are others who
have known Como by heart for
years, and have just found out
that Lake George beats it two to
enc ken tkc moon shines. This
gradual introduction of Ameri-
cans t. t.,.cir native land may be
bad for the Riviera and Naples,
and rough on the Bots de Bou-
logne. but it establishes a new
bond of sympathy between the
and people the land they were
born in.

IT is so DIFFERENT.

A few short weeks ago, says
the Bonham News, a number OF
papers North and East, rein
forced by the Dal-Gal News, of
Texas, were busying themselves
applying epithets to Texas, be-
cause the legislature had dared
to appoint a committee to inves-
tigate certain charges made
against one of the professors in
the State University. 1t had
been reported that this professor
was teaching perverted history
regarding the South, Southern
views and the late war.
The Dallas News discovered a
number of men in Kentucky and
other places, who were just pre-
pairing to come to Texas to bless
our poor old State with their be-
nign presence when they read of
this wonderful outrage in the
News, and refused to bulge an
inch towards a State that stifled
freedom Of thought and speech
in any such manner. The
News was greatly grieved over
this state of affairs, and mourned
the loss of so many lovers of
freedom who were just preparing
to come to US. Let US see how
these great journals champion
the cause of liberty of speech and
action among our college profess
sors elsewhere.
President BENZ. E. Andrews,
of Brown University, which is
situated in the free State of
Rhode Island, is an educator of
recognized ability and national
reputation. Under his manage
ment Brown university has
grown and prospered as it never
grew and prospered before. But
President Andrews believes in
bimetallism, the free coinage of
gold and silver alike, and he
happens to live in a State where
the majority of voters do not be-
ieve as he does. The result is
that he has handed in his resig-
nation at the request of a COM
mittee appointed by the trustees
which, in June, called him to ac-
count for his utterances on the
money question.
President Andrews, as any
man of character would have
done, very properly refused to
change his convictions in order
to suit the trustees to retain his
position. His resignation was
requested, and was promptly
rendered.
From which one of these jour-
nails and these men, that were so
much exercised about the action
of Texas legislature, have we
heard a word condemning the
action of the Rhode Island trus-
tees -? Is it wrong for Texas to
insist that false history shall not
be taught in her public univer-
sity, and right that Rhode Island
shall insist that her university
presidents shall not form their
own opinions about great issues?
If SO, these gentlemen are jus6-
fed in keeping quiet; but if free
dom of speech and freedom of
opinion is as much a right in
Rhode Island as it is in Texas,
then they ought to condemn the
action of the trustees of Brown
University. And they would do
so, if it did not better suit their
purpose to keep quiet.

Treaty Rejected.

Muskogee, 1. T., Oct. 20.-The treaty
between the Dawes and Creek commits
sions, which was concluded at this place
last month, was rejected by the Creek
council in session at Okmulgee, I. T.,
Monday night. The vote in the house
of warriors, which is the lower house
of the Creek council, was unanimously
against the treaty, and only eight mem
bers of the house of kings voted in favor
of it. The principal charge against the
treaty is that it does not give the Creeks
their share of all the lands of the Creek
nation and leaves too much room for
money sharks and spectators. A warm
legal war is expected to be waged be-
tween the United States and the Creek
nation, as the act of congress which

Chicago, Oct. 23-An assignment was
made Friday by the Fowler Cycle COM

Germs in the west. The officers of the
company are reticent regarding the
amount of assets and liabilities, but the
best information obtainable gives the
liabilities at 100000; assets much less.
1t has been rumored for some time that
the company was in financial difficult
ties. The action taken Friday was pre-
cipitated by the employees. A commit
tee of the men called on the treasurer
and asked if they would be paid to-day
wages due them up to a week ago to-
day, which were due last Wednesday, or
whether they would be paid to date.
The difficulty of raising another weeks
pay roll decided the officers of the COM
rahy to assign. The firm employed 500
men.

Doctors could do nothing for me, and

will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said / would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. b. A. LOMBARD.

Gen, Miles ReDOrt.

Washington. Oct. %. - Gen. Miles,
commanding general of the army, has
made bis annual report to the secre-
tary of wac. A synopsis follows:
He commends the efficacy of the army
and speaks of the progress that has been
made on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts in the matter Of Notifications. He
asks that congress authorize two more regi-
ments of artillery to garrison the new forth
fications, and also five additional regiments
Of infantry. He devotes considerable at
tention to Alaska, and says the waters of
Alaska should be thoroughly examined by
the naval forces, and that there should be
at least three military posts established in
the territory to support the civil author
tiles. He refers to the improved condition
of the Indians, and recommends that the
policy of employing army officers as In
dian agents be continued. He makes rec
concentrations in detail for the protection
of coast points, and says that the maximum
peace footing of the army should be one
enlisted man to every 1000 of population,
and the minimum one to every 1000
