At Washington Southern Senators
and congressman express themselves
us hopeful over the prospects Of sccur-
ing legislation during the present SEES
sion of Congress, looking to the re-
funding of money paid into the Treas
ury Of the United States soon after tho
Civil war as the result Of the sale OF
the cotton captured by the Federal
troops. There was originally about
s30,000,000 of this money, but portion
of it was paid to the owners Of the cot
ton soon after the war. The remainder
was left in tho treasury and has re-
mnined there ever since. Senator
Money, who is giving special attention
looking to the reopening of the sub
ject, says that tho sum left amounted
to about $t11 100000. A billintroduced
by Senator Davis gives one year addi-
tional time for proof of such claims be-
fore the court Of claims. 1t has been
favorably reported by the Senate COM
mittee on claims and the outlook is
very good for favorable action. Most
OF the claims arc held in the Southern
States.

The severe arraignment of the dis

an equivocal document, nor does it
state unpleasant truths in vague and
quibbling figures 1t recitcs the rot

one realizes this fact more than do the
Republicans themselves, for since the

protests from leaders of the party have
been filed and in no ambiguous terms.
Honest Republicans, outside the Ofi-

unequal to the burden. Coupled with
the conduct of the Spanish and Philip

THE MACEDONIAN TROUBLE.


A few days ago the dispatches told
Of trouble between Bulgaria and Rou-
mania The diplomatic relations were
considerably strained, and a fight took
place on the border line between troops
stationed there. War seemed lmmin-
ent.
The trouble was caused by the opera
lions OF the Macedonian revolutionary
committee which has It's headquarters
at Sofia, Bulgaria. This committee Is
said 10 have levied Contributions on
wealthy Roumanlans living IN the Bull
garian capital. and several Of those who
refused to pay. were assasslnated. The
Roumanlan government demanded that
the guilty parties be punished, but the
Bulgarian government failed 10 comply
with the demand. and the trouble fol-
lowed.
This Is a reminder 10 Europe that It's
eastern question" Is not yet settled.
The Macedonlans are all the time work.
ing for their independence from Turk
ish rule and they hope that their day
Of liberation win come. as It came to
other Balkan states. after years Of agl-
tation. labor and sacrifice.
Their chief grievance In common with
other Turkish provinces. Is that they
are taxed excessively. In Turkey the
right Of taxation Is sold to the highest
bidder. The pasha who secures tia
privilege Of collection pays the stipu-
lated sum for II, and then squeezes 1t
out Of the population Of the district he
has bought and as much more as pos
sible. by whatever means his ingenuity
may suggest AS tax collector he Is
simply a robber Of the people, the terror
Of the population under his jurisdiction.
As long as this barbarous system Is In
vogue, a lberty-loylng race like the
Macedonlans viii revolt. They can be
held IN check only by the unrelaxing
iron hand Of tyranny Some day this

IN an effort for liberty, and then the
flames will burst forth that were tenn
porarily smothered by the agreements
entered into at the Berlin congress.
The Turkish method Of collecting
taxes suggests that there is an effective
way by which the United States might
collect the little bin owing by the Turk
lsh sultan. II a United States war
ship were to appear in the waters OF
Asia Minor and insist on some Of the
pashas advancing the sum OF 100000
for the sultan, the demand would hard
~ be refused II made with sufficient
clearness and emphasis The obligng
pasha would then simply withhold that
much OF the sum he is to pay his SOW
ereign for the privilege Of collecting the
taxes In his pashalIc.
We do not say this plan Is the best
but we believe It would be worth while
trying. II all ordinary means Of settling
the matter In a business way fan.
