hands 2s0 miles southeast of Halifax Feb
Il, or else she has been drifting at the

Forth attempted to tow the Diamant and
to save hor crew, but the hawser parted,

CAPTAIN Forth says he sighted the tank

having lost her propeller. The Diamant
sent a boat alongside with the request for
a tow to the nearest port The Calico put
out a hawser, and the towing began,
course being laid for Halifax. On the llth

THE Greeks and the Turks are at 1t,
hammer and tongs. War has been
declared, and the Grecian and Turkish
armies have been engaged in several
spirited battles the past week. The
fighting has been fierce and heavy
losses have been sustained by both
sides. At this time the Turks appear
to have the advantage, as they have
driven the Greeks back and taken pos
session of the pass Of Milonna, which
gives them a clear road to Larssa, the
headquarters of the Grecian army. On
the other hand, the Greeks have crossed
into Turkey from another direction
and have driven their enemies from
several strongholds. The soldiers Of
both armies have fought with the great
est bravery.
1t is too early in the campaign to
make satisfactory predictions as to the
result of the war. The Greeks are in
spired by patriotism and are evident
" resolved to shed the last drop Of
blood in defense of their country. But
Turkey has vastly larger army, out
numbering that of the Greeks many
times, and has far greater resources.
The apparent advantage is on the side
of the Turks, and we fear that the
Greeks will have to yield to superior
numbers. 1t may be another case Of
China and Japan, however, and if the
smaller government shall win against
the unspeakable Turk all christendom
will rejoice. For some as yet unknown
reason the European powers seem to
be favoring the Turks, though public
sentiment is strongly against them.

The Constitutional Committee.

The committee appointed at the re-
cent session of the Legislature to re-
wise the constitution of West Virginia
is busily engaged in its work at
Charleston. A large number Of
changes in our laws are suggested.
Among them we note the following:
The Secretary Of State, now appoint
ed by the Governor, shall be elected
as other State officers are all the State
officials shall receive stated salaries,
and fees must be turned into the treas
ury; each county shall elect treas
urer to serve four years, as sherifs
and assessors are elected members of
the Legislature shall be paid fixed SAL
aries, and the time limit of the sessions
be removed an increase in the num-
Der of members Of the Supreme Court,
an increase in the number Of judicial
circuits, and the abolition of the IN
termediate and criminal courts.
A communication from J, S. Bra
gOnier, Of Shepherdstown, asking that
the clause in the constitution concern
ing the exemption of property of debt
ors be so amended as to permit all
debts or claims for rent made within
a year, funeral expenses and wages
of domestics to be collected, and also
to prevent the exemption right where
the wife joins in or is a party in the
creation of the debt.

THrRE seems to be a GREAT differ.

THERE seems to be a great differ
ence of opinion among Democrats as
to the attitude the party should as
sumo toward those of the brethren
who failed to support Mr.. Bryan last
fall. Some hot-heads, whose zeal is
greater than their discretion, denounce
the "deserters" and say they ought
not to be allowed to return to the
ranks under any condition. Others, a
little more tolerant, would permit the
gold Democrats to come back upon
Bonded knee and with fearful, repent
ant applications. We must confess
that we havn't much patience with
either of the above classes. We did
not then, nor do we now, approve Of
the action of those who bolted the
Democratic nominees. We do not
think the regular Democracy is called
upon now or that it ought in the fu-
ture to go very far into the desert to
hunt up the lost sheep. But we do
believe that every prodigal ought to
be given welcome when he returns
of his own accord. 1t is quite likely
that the Democrats will need every
vote they can get during the next
campaign, and it is senseless to reject
any source of strength. A very large
proportion Of those who left the party
last year were men of standing and
intelligence, and they were influenced
in their action by perfectly sincere and
honorable motives. Their withdrawal
was an undeniable loss, and their re-
turn will be a corresponding gain.
So far as we are concerned, both from
inclination and policy, we are ready
to give them an earnest welcome back
to the fold, INDUCING the hope they
will never do it again. Let the De-
mocracy open its arms wide and take
in all who want to come to i.
While the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
