wishes would doubtless have weight. The
Empress of Germany, sister of Queen Olga
of Greece. is an extremely domestic per-
son, who does not NEEDLE with politics, and
it is hardly to be expected that her voice
would be heard in a settlement of public
difficulties. Nevertheless the ties of blood
connecting him and his family with three
of the great powers undoubtedly encourage
King George to believe that he will not be
permitted to go entirely to the wall. He
does not reckon, perhaps, with the CONNER
cial interests which form the bond of union
between the powers and the Turks, and
which are likely to prove stronger than any
ties Of -consanguinity.

and were pressing close upon him before
he reached the door. Being close pressed

necessary to avoid capture, Duffy seized hold
of an empty beer keg standing near the
door, threw 1t at the foremost pursuer and
bolted through the door. Fortunately the
key missed its target. Pstrolmen Byard

The action of Gas Supervisor Leach in de-
%termining to enforce the law preventing the
waste of natural gas by those who are
drilling for oil will meet general approval.
The gas will not last forever if the utmost
care should be taken to prevent it's being
wasted. The oil, on the, other hand, being
below the gas, will keep and will become
more valuable as the years pass. The peo-
pie who are interested in the economical
use of the natural gas will sustain the
supervisor and the prosecuting attorneys in
enforcing the law designed to prevent it's
waste. A few men should not be permitted
to waste the most valuable fuel in the
world simply because they can make a
few dollars in the sale of oil. 1t is a wanton
disregard of the welfare of a large section
of Indiana to waste the gas to secure a
little oil, consequently the supervisor and
the prosecuting officers should lose no time
in putting d stop to drilling for oil in the
gas belt.

'"The Manual of American Water Works
for 1887, published in the Engineering News,
contains a large amount of valuable infor-
nation upon this subject. There are in the
country 3.196 water works-an increase of
1.159 since 1s9O-91. That is, more than one
third of the water works in the country
have been built since 1890. The increase in
dictates that any town having the least pre-
tensions to an urban population must have
water works. OF the 1856 complete works

DEEPLY DISGUS7ED.
SAD FACES ABOUT REPUBLICAN
HEADQUARTERS.
Hanna's Ridiculous Performance at
Burton the Subject of Serious
Comment-They will Try TO Re-
tire Him From the Campaign.

Columbus, Sept. 18.-(Special. THE
air is blue about Republican headquar-
ters today. The miserable exhibitions
at Saturdays openings of the campaign
have made the managers very sad.
They could have stood the Grosveuor
flasco at Newsrk and the frost Bushnell
got at Washington Court House, but the
awful exhibition Of Hanna's vanity and
astounding English at Burton was too
much for even the strongest stomached
at headquarters, and they are very sick.
Forsker's speech was not satisfactory
either. 1t was simply sop for Hanna and
his crowd, without containing any argu-
ment to refute the claims of the opposi-
ton. AS a first gun the whole thing is
conceded to have been a failure. Hanna's
reiterations that he Is the whole thing Is
nauseating, and many are commenting
upon his conduct during the miners
stike. He told how he nearly died for the
dear people llst fsll but he didn't men
tion how much he paid his miners nor
did he say what he had done to end the
strike and who gets the b,peflt Of tie
tariff Of 81 cents On coal when the min
ers get 45 cents for digging it. 1t is
believed that an effort will be made to lay
Hanna up with sore toe or some such
excuse, until he campaign is ended.
