IL, The notion Of Germany; possessing
the cradle of human civilization in AS
syria, as we'll as the holy places Of
Christianity, might easily attract a less
enthusiastic mind than that of the en-
psror. says the Spectator. ITO make
matters easier; Germany has become

many. i She can obtain concessions
which are refused to every other power
Her officers drill the Turkish troops,
her manufacturers supply the Turks
with cannon, rifles and ammunition,
and in number of ways the sultan has
come to be dependent upon his brother
autocrat. Originally, no doubt, the sui
tan leaned upon Germany because Ger
many seemed the one great power
which wanted nothing from Turkey
which it would weaken the independ-
ence and integrity of Turkey to give.
We can hardly suppose that this is still
the view entertained at the Porte, but
Turkey is now too much beholden to
Germany to be able to withdraw. She
cannot shake off her formerly disinter-
ested and yet helpful friend, even
though it now seems probable that this
friend will ultimately follow the ex-
ample of the others, and will want to

power Of Turkey by slicing Of few
outlying provinces. But in all prob

really stop at slicing of provinces. The
world has been hesitating long and
YEARLY as to who is to have Constan-
tinople, and there seems no possibility
Of agreement among the rival claim
ants. Under such circumstances, what
could be more natural than that 1t
should ultimately fall to Germany?
That, however, is piece Of German
''idealism" which, can be kept In the
background for the present.

TITLES CHEAP FoR CASH.

A lou want Co DO . Prince Buy the
Honor In Italy. IN
Throughout Europe Italian titles Of
nobility do not enjoy very high rep
utation; so much so that, as a general
rule, mere Australian baron Is more
highly considered than an Italian mar
quis, says the London Mail. One ex-
PLANTATION of this fact is that many of
these Italian mobiles with high-sound-
ing handles to their names are not in
a very enviable financial situation.
Many astounding instances may be
cited of Italian dukes and counts who
occupy the strangest positions abroad.
Some are coachmen, others hotel por-
tiers, one is an interpreter in railway
station, another is butler in the family
of an American millionaire. In New
York there is a we'll known Italian
count who has run an elevator for
several years past. In southern Italy,
where poverty is greater than in other
portions of the peninsula, the great
noble families are compelled to resort
to the most extraordinary strategems
to save appearances. In Naples poor
families have adopted a system of mu-
tual carriages and horses, which is
somewhat curious. Five or six families
agree to pay the expenses of luxu-
rious establishment, generally a four
finland, with coachman and footman.
The carriage door, with the various
coats of arms of the different families,
is alone changed, according to the fam
lily which uses the carriage. On great
occasions these families draw lots to
see which shall use the carriage and
horses. But a strange fact is that
now, when SO many noble families
have become impoverished, the Italian
government is about to increase the
price of titles. In future the man
who wishes to bear a princes crown
must pay $4,000 to the government;
to become duke $4,000 is sufficient;
for $4,000 one may be a marquis, and
for $4,000 count; $4,000 is sufficient
to become baron, and $1,000 for the
simple prefix de" These figures ap-
ply only to the titles conferred by the
king. Besides these royal titles are
the dignities conferred by the pope,
with which several American mer-
chants and business men have been
honored. These papal titles are some
what cheaper than those conferred by
the king. At the Vatican a brand
new count may be created for $4,000,
and marquis for $4,000. American
amateurs should take note of this fact.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
proud old Italian aristocrats look down
with the greatest contempt on these
parvenu noblemen. whether created by
the king or the pope. These proud
Italian aristocarts of ancient lineage,
such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the
Orsini of Rome, the Strozzi of Flor
ence, and the viscomte of Milan, con-
slider themselves vastly superior to the
most ancient mobiles of France and
Great Britain ands the equals of most
royal families. Some Of the old Roman
mobiles even claim direct descent from
the days Of ancient Rome.

IMPORTANT ACTION.

The following resolution was
adopted by the largest assemblage
of farmers ever convened in the
State, at Jackson, Tenn, on Sep
tember 15, it being the second an
nual session of the West Tennessee
Farmers Institute, and by a unan-
imous rising vote. 1t was proposed
by Hon. Thomas ii. Paine, commits
sioner Of agriculture, in short
speech setting forth the leading
facts in the life work of Colonel
Gates, and his effective co-opera-
tion in the interest of the farmers
during many years, and especially
in the present organization and
work Of farmers Institutes. Sew
eral members of the institute sec
onded the resolution, and spoke in
Endorsement of the resolution and
the eulogistic remarks Of Captain
Paine. The resolution was intro
duced at the conclusion Of q speech
by Colonel Gates, on the "Rail-
roads and the People" in which he
argued that the producers, especi-
ally the farmers, and the railroads,
were natural and inevitable allies,
mutually dependent each on the
other, and equally interested in the
consumers. The following is the
resolution as passed by the insti-
tute:
"Resolved, That our thanks are
due in an especial manner to Col.
Robert Gates for his personal and
official interest and cooperation in
the work Of the farmers institutes
throughout the State, and that we
commend him and his efforts on the
lines of Cancellation of interests
and cooperation to improve agri-
culture and develop the resources
of the State to our brother farmers
throughout Tennessee"
