Last Monday afternoon while

boy shot at Johns wife with a
niger shooter, striking her glasses.
She accused him of it, whereupon
he fatty called her a d-n liar,
saying that he did not do it.
Mrs. Whitney saw him shoot,
however, her husband heard the
boys answer. and ON the impulse
of the moment he jumped the fence,
picked up a shingle and proceeded
to chastise the boy good.
The matter was reported to

FRANCo-TURKIsH CRISIS.

So serious is the situation outlined by
the latest cablegrams concerning the
Franco-Turkish crisis that the appre-
hension of a sudden outbreak of war
between the two countries has foun-
dation more substantial than war ire
mors usually boast.
The French Government is said to
have sent Admiral Gaillard's squadron
to sea under instructions to seize a
Turkish port, presumably that of
Smyrna, which is the most exposed on
the Mediterranean, and appropriate the
customs revenues to meet Turkeys
obligations to France. The Sultan, we
are informed, has resolved not to sub
NIT to the demands of France, mines
are being placed in the Dardanelles and
orders have been issued for the instant
mobilization of two Turkish army corps.
All this looks very much as if war is
imminent.
When it is remembered. also, that
said to have reached a secret agreement
whereby France was to force an issue
with Turkey, from the final outcome of
which both France and Russia expected
to derive tremendous advantage, and
that this new move was based on be-
lief in Englands unpreparedness Cor an
effective protest, the likelihood of war
which shall ultimately mean the dis
memberment of Turkey vastly in
creases.
This is happening, however, which
no one cares TO predict, remembering
how frequently the Sick Man of Europe
has been apparently at the last gasp
only to be resuscitated by a new form
of treatment on the part of interested
Powers. The existing situation is,
nevertheless, interesting. That the
crisis is now receiving the worlds
closest attention indicates the gravity
of the moment in universal estimation.
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-11-02
STRONG AND HEALTHY.

Elections TO be held in ten States of
the Union next Tuesday will be watched
for evidences Of the internal condition
of the Democratic party.
The party has good reason for con-
fidence as TO the teaching of the vote.
There are many indications that the re-
suit will prove beyond question that the
Democratic party is in sound and
healthy condition, not in need Of the
services of doctors belonging to either
school OF reorganizers and disorganizers
who have been so anxious in the recent
past to tinker with the party's organiza-
tion. The Democracy of the various
States in which elections are to be held
next week was found ready for the
campaign. The party organization was
good, the party temper was aggressive,
the party sentiment was united. There
was no evidence of that weakening of
the Democratic body, by dissension or
unfaith, which had been so loudly pro-
claimed following the presidential elec-
ton of 1900.
throughout the spring campaigns of
1901. as win be remembered, The Re
public continually asserted that the
Democratic party would exhibit a main
tanned healthfulness in organization and
spirit. The result of the various cleo
tions sustained The Republics conten-
ton. Even in the case of a sudden
emergency, such as that In Illinois
where vacancy on the State Supreme
Bench necessitated an unexpected cam
paign, the party was found organized
for victory. Not in any instance was
there evidence of weakness in the
party structure justifying the claims of
the reorganiZers and disorganizers TO
the effect that general readjustment
within the party was necessary.
There has been no proof of party
weakness in the campaigns now about
to close in ten States. In the result of
the elections Of next Tuesday there will
be no demand for the services of the
doctors so anxious to try their reorgan-
izing or disorganiZing nostrums on the
Democratic party. The party's organi-
Zation and the party's principles are
alike sound. The coming elections will
make additionally absurd the arguments
of those who contend that American
Democracy is divided or decadent
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-11-02
GARBAGE SITUATION.

II the Globe-Democrat feels an I'M
peratiye necessity 20 continue a cam
paign of daily condemnation of the gar
bage contract and of the situation Great
ed BY the renewal of that contract the
campaign would probably be more eff
fective should it be directed at the Of
fetal who is responsible for the situa-
ton.
Health Commissioner Starkloff has
distinctly accepted the responsibility for
the municipal ordinance under which
the present garbage contract was award
ed. Over his own signature he has told
how the ordinance was drawn There
is no shadow of excuse for the Globes
attempt to ignore the Health Comnis-
sioner as the responsible party in this
transaction. The fact that he is a Re
publican alone accounts for the Globe S
reluctance to accept his own direct
declaration of responsibility for the gar
bage contract.
The Globes intention is, of course, to
make readers believe that Mayor Wells
Is responsible for the contract, that he
is at the mercy of Ed Butler, and that
the city is being compelled to pay ex-
orbitant prices for garbage removal be-
cause "the Wells administration is an
Ed Butler administration" The Globes
party would benefit greatly by the
creation Of this impression in the popu-
lar mind. For this reason, therefore,
the Globe Is willing to misrepresent the
facts and distort the truth. But Re-
publican Health Commissioner has him
self spiked the Globes guns.
The Ziegenhein organ has duty TO
perform in condemning the garbage con-
tract If actuated by sincere belief that
the contract is unfair and disadvanta-
geous to the city. But tie responsibility
should be placed where it belongs, Oh
Health Commissioner Starkloff's shoul-
ders, not on those Of Mayor Wells. And
the further fact that the city was
obliged to award the contract without
competition is due entirely to Republic
an Municipal Assembly negligence
which left the one garbage reduction
company in control of the local field.
