 and it is best that public opinion
 should be led. When you get. as you
 get in the United States and in Eng l land, an enormous mass O. floating democratic opinion, it is best for the democracy that it should have strong and farseeing directors of that opin- ion. The people will follow if they
 are told where to go, and they want | and like to be told where to go. They
 may be told to go here, or to go there, by this or that would-be leader. and l they will seldom go wrong if both courses are plainly pointed out to them by their advisers. A democracy is all
 ways to q certain extent distrustful of itself. It is uncertain, in the first place. if it is left to itself, whether it properly grasps the whole of the facts or any particular problem it has to
 ;ace. It is uncertain, again, as to what will be the consequences of it's action l If it takes action. Therefore it desires leaders whom it can trust, and whose
 verdict on this or that suggested pol icy it can accept. It is. of course, cas- fly possible for a nation to exist for
 many years. and to attain really
 large measure of internal prosperity. without having asked for or having been given leaders. But there will all
 ways come a time when some question arises about which it cannot readily
 make up its mind; CT when. having
 made up it's mind that something must
 be done. it is uncertain what to do.
 That Is the situation in the United States today, and it accounts for the promptitude with which popular opin- ion has approved MT. Roosevelt's fear

Ominous News.

The brief cablegram in yesterdays Republican from Sofia. announcing that the insurrection in Macedonia had become general, Is confirmatory of the rumors which have had circulation dur ing the past few weeks. The dispatch may prove to be the forerunner of startling news from the Balkan states. All the information obtainable indi- cates the possibility of serious trouble. Already Turkey has thrown 100000 trained troops into the disaffected dis tricts. but if the uprising becomes gen. eral. as now seems reasonable to ex- pect, Turkey will find that she is fac ing a revolution in the Christian states over which she still retains suZerainty. A general revolt will mean, it Is gen orally conceded, armed intervention by Russia. The conditions almost exactly duplicate those of twenty-five years ago, which led to the Russo-Turkish war.
 Had Russia then been permitted to gain the logical results of her victories in the field, the eastern question" would have been permanently settled, and Turkish influence in the Balkans would have been ended for all time But the treaty of San Stefano was made worthless by the congress of Berlin. through the aggressive diplomacy of Beaconsfield and Bismarck. Great Britain came out of that congress with the ownership of Cyprus. which was more tangible gain than Russia could figure for herself after all her expendi- ture of life and treasure in beating the Turks back upon Constantinople.
 Russia has learned something since the war of twenty-five years ago She has learned to trust her own diplomacy, and she has learned that she is in reality one of the great powers of the world. If she again goes to war with the Turk it will be with the intention of making good the dream of a Russian flag floating over Constantinople

great deaf left for 1t to do. Probably the greatest usefulness of the associa- ton in the future win be in the line Of defeating such amendments to the national irrigation law as might limit the scope of federal irrigation; but so long as Mir. Roosevelt remains in the presidential chair it is not likely that the friends of national irrigation need fear any adverse action by congress.
 Aside from protecting the fruits al- ready gathered. there Is little for the national irrigation association to do in the future beyond sustaining such general interest in the work of reclaim ing the arid lands as will convince the government that there has been no change of sentiment on the subject.
 It does not matter to the masses of the people whether the two organiza- tions remain separate, or consolidate. So far as concerns the trans Missis- sippi congress. microscope would be needed to disclose any practical results from the various meetings which have been held-if we except the aid which has been rendered to national irriga- tion. The trans Mississippi meetings have been dry affairs. and slimly at tended, the last year or two. and there appears to be nothing in sight to re- vive interest Indeed, if the "conven- tion habit" were not firmly fixed on the American character the trans Mississippi and many similar conven- tions would never be held. Such gath erings simply give an opportunity to a lot of good fellows to meet and fire off speeches and compliments at each other

4 r.anot Temp..t.

It is not easy to understand why there was so much excitement in the national irrigation congress over the question of consolidating with the trans Mississippi congress. The propo- sition for a merger was based on good reasoning. Both the irrigation and the trans Mississippi associations have been working along practically the same lines. The conventions of both organiza tions have been made up largely of the same men. and the topics discussed and the resolutions adopted by both have been in harmony. as q rule: the only difference being that the trans Mississippi congress has dealt with a somewhat wider range of sub- jects. On the other hand, it should have been clear to the delegates that failure to effect the consolidation would not be matter of momentous concern to the public.
 As Mir. Maxwell suggested, the national irrigation association has ac- complished its chief aim. There is mol

them. Probably their mental attitude in the matter was that they paid well for protection and that it would be up to" their protectors to get them out Of any difficulties they might fall into in pursuing their schemes of plunder. It also suggests the possibility that while robbery is almost a nightly affair in that neis hborhood, murder is no new thing either and that boldness has come from frequent practice.
 How long the people of @ great city like New York will sit quietly under the knowledge that those whom they pay to protect them from evil-doers really use these as tocls to gather in a harvest of plunder for themselves is a question which is waiting for an answer. Something must certainly be done soon or New Workers will have to admit that their criminal class has become tco strong for them and in reality rules them, whatever the nomi- nal character O: their city government may be.-Providence Journal.
