OUR NEXT MOVE
In the Business of Collecting
That Bill From Turkey.

Washington, April 1s.-The news of
the firm attitude assumed by the state
department toward the Turkish govern
ment in prosecution of its claim for
damages to American missionary prop
erty caused something of a sensation in
diplomatic circles today.
Three successive American ministers
have prosecuted claims which received
promise of prompt attention and not
yet dollar has been paid. With Euro
pean diplomats that is an old experience
and they have frequently been somewhat
surprised at the announcement that the
U. S. government is actually going to
insist upon prompt performance instead
of promise. Minister Angel after try
ing his hand at collection for two years
recommended that a United States war
ship be sent to seize Smyrna, and col
Iect revenues at the custom house there
sufficient to meet our claims.
This suggestion was not seriously en-
tertained, nor is it now. In the first
place, according to the state depart
ment officials most of the importa mt
business interests in Smyrna are in the
hands Of foreigners not Turks, and a
bombardment by a United States feet
might result in a pretty bill for dam
ages against US.
Then, as there is still a remnant Of
the Turkish navy the United States
would have to send a squadron instead
of single W&rship Such a movement
would without doubt be resented by the
remainder of Europe which could not
contemplate with equanimity an action
by the United States that would per
haps destroy the fruits of many years
work of the greatest European states
ment by precipitating a final crisis in
/ Turkey
Therefore the next step to be taken by
! our government will not be warlil1e, but
/ will stH suggest in most dignifed man
ner the indignation felt by the United
/ States at the betrayal of Turkish prom
/ ises. How this attitude will bear upOr

CATCH FIRE BUGS.
officer Detailed to Capture Barn
Burners.

Chief of Police Ramsey has assigned an
officer to the special duty of catching in
cendiaries.
The recent epidemic of barn burning has
undoubtedly been caused by some person
or band of persons. The barns that have
burned are situated in the southwest part
of the city. Several of the fires have
started in the managers and others have
started by a window or door and some one
in passing could easily have dropped a
match inside without being detected. Il
believe these fires have been started by
some one" said Chief Wilmarth of the
fire department. 1.-The fires have prob
ably been the work of boys. They have
been started in managers, many of them,
and the ear marks of an incendiary origin
have been noticed
been instructed to use every effort to
catch the culprits. I have detailed an
officers to investigate every IRE and II
this continues we shall certainly catch
the culprits and when we do, they shall
be severely punished" The penalty for
the offense is a term in the penitentiary.

EAST AND WEST.

TFrom the Boston Herald
The Springfield Republican, referring
to the significant letters Of our western
correspondent, remarks that "the west
IS more than ever before filed with a
sense Of it's political power. It is will
ing to tolerate the east, and even to
placate it, but no longer are the Demo-
Gratis of the bOundless prairies ready to
see eastern men dictate the party can
didates and policies" This is true as
well Of the Republicans of the prairies.
And there are good reasons for it. The
power Of the west in population, and
therefore in votes. is not its only claim
to be considered. Perhaps a still strong
er one IS the demonstration that the
eastern people are too willing to abdi-
cate their initiative and authority to
bosses who arrogate control Of their
votes and their opinions. bosses who are
supremely selfish. and aim chiefly to
pervert party organization to the service
of syndicates of capitalists.
We do not intend saying that the
west Is without examples of the same
sort of corrupting and debauchfng boss
es. It has enough of them to be able to
recognize the type. But they have not
yet acquired such authority and domi-
uation over the masses Of the people as

The movement for the relief of the
famine sufferers in India wins the fol-
lowing handsome advertisement from
the Chicago Record:
officials and public-spirited citizens of
Kansas have under way a movement
for affOrding relief to starving inhab-
itants of India that reflects great credit
upon the state. The response ought to
be generous and no doubt viii be. Gov.
Stanley is at the head Of the commit
tee having the matter In charge. One
of the aims of the committee is the COL
lection of "a million bushels Of Kansas
corn for starving India
Three days are to be set apart as gift
days. Saturday, April Is, is to be known
as India corn day; Sunday, April 20,
as india relief Sunday" and Monday,
April 30, as school children's India re-
lief day." On Saturday donations Of
corn are to be received. On Sunday col
lections will be taken in all the churches,
Sunday schools and other Christian or
BanizatiOns. On Monday collections will
be taken in all the public schools and
colleges of the state. The amount of food
and funds so secured should be large
and will be the means of saving the
lives Of many human beings who other
wise would die of starvation in India.
The excellent example of Kansas
should stimulate India relief move
nents IN other states. The conditions in
India can not easily be exaggerated
They are piteous indeed and should ex-
cite the generous sympathy Of the en-
tire civilized world.

has been acquired by their kind in the
eastern states, and acquired, also. to
degree over representative politicians
hailing from the west. These last are
unlikely, however, to retain the conf
dence of voters after their subserviency
has been discovered. The west has a
summary way of unloading party lead
ers who are unfaithful to the interests
Of the common people. They have no
such soft snap as such men frequently
have in the east, where there is a de-
gree of cringing and cowardly submis-
sion to dictation in the matter of opin-
ion that is unknown in the more inde-
pendent and self-reliant communities Of
the west.
This is not saying that the people Of
the west are always right in their judg-
ments or always well informed in the
political problems that beset the nation.
They are more sure to gravitate to final
right conclusions, because they are more
tolerant of Independent thinking and
liberal discussion. It sometimes seems
as if the people in large portions of the
country east of the Mississippi river,
and portions commonly reputed to be
the most intelligent, had surrendered
the right to think for themselves in poll
tics, or had surrendered the manliness
that carries conviction into political ac-
ton. They are content to be dumb,
driven cattle" rather than brave men,
willing to take the consequences, what
ever they may be, of fidelity to their
consciences in discharging their duties
as citizens or as officers.

HIS OWN MOTION.
Nobody Told Bellamy Storer to Apol
ogize to Spain.

Washington. April 1s.-It is learned
that no instructions were sent from
Washington to Mr.. Storer, the United
States minister at Madrid, relative to
the presentation of regrets for the ex-
tension to the Due d'Arcos, the Spanish
minister here of the invitation to attend
the celebration in Chicago Of the des-
truction of the Spanish fleet IN Manila
harbor. In other words, Mr.. Storer act
ed according to his own judgment and
upon his own responsibility in any rep
resentationS he may have made to the
Spanish foreign Office on this subject.
1t is not to be inferred from this state
ment that his action, even if it is as re-
ported, is disapproved here. On the
contrary it is declared his course was in
thorough accord with the proprieties of
official etiquette and that he showed
excellent judgment in anticipating a
complaint which would have been dis
agreeable to meet. His course is closely
akin to that pursued by Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador here, in
stating to Secretary Hay in advance of
any information as to the alleged open
ing of Mr.. Macrum's mail that if such
an act had been committed it was a
source of regret and was unauthorized.

FIVE DOLLAR CUT.
Made in the Price of Steel Bars, Per
Ton.

Pittsburg, April 19.-It was learned
today that at meeting of the bar mill
association in Pittsburg last Friday the
price of steel bars was cut from "a
cents a pound to cents. equal to a re-
duction of $5 a ton. One of the causes
for this reduction is that the eastern
manufacturers have been selling steel
bars in this market at 2.15 cents a
pound and had secured several good
contracts.
Several manufacturers who were seen
said there is no danger of a gSneral
slump in steel prices and that while
bessemer steel billets may be bought at
S32. SO in some cases the prices still re-
mains at S33 a ton.

proved successful and that a large
share of the estate will ultimately be
