castle, and adds insult to the injury
of neglect.
Russia, being of the Greek church,
likewise for political reasons, would
dearly love to assist the sufferers. in
which event Germany and England
would repeat their former acts Of
sending guns, cannons, ammuni-
ton and bayonets to the Turk,
and have warships ready to
back their commands of "hands
off, Perhaps the whole stu
alton would be exactly reversed were
England and Germany to side with
the Christians. Who can tell?
Macedonia is naturally a very rich
country. The Turks religion COM
mands: what God has hidden in the
earth, let no man uncover" so the
rich mines retain their buried wealth.
No factory or newspaper is allowed
in the country of the industrious, in
telligent Macedonians. For over 500
years they have suffered indignities
inconceivable to our peaceful civiliza-
ton. They have been loyal to Turk
ish rule, paid ruinously heavy taxes,
worked like slaves to till the soil,
build cities and improve the country.
But the end seems to be approaching
or, at least, terrible contest. Muir
murs deep, if not loud, are sounding,
and these long-oppressed people are
contemplating following the example
of some of their neighbors and re-
belling against Turkish rule.
If the matter becomes so out
rageous that any of the powers are
drawn into taking hand, a universal
war is not inconceivable, although in
able. If the Turks were civilized, the
matter might be arbitrated, but they
fail so VIGOROUSLY to keep their en-
gagements that it would be a waste
of time. While they are allowed to
command control of the little thread
of water flowing by Constantino ple,
their influence will be known and
felt. If congress of nations should
take this power from and WELD it
for them, crimes against civilization
might be averted and long steps
taken toward the universal peace so
earnestly desired by the car and
others.
For centuries, before Christ, the
Macedonians occupied their country:
Under the rule of Alexander the
Great the entire Balkan peninsula
was known as the Macedonian en-
n;re Tn snite of the devastation
that has been wrought there, some
of the churches built in the first CEN
fury are still standing and in use.
Here the Christian faith has been
preserved in its purity. The world
had not heard of Turks, who were
but = tribe resembling gypsies, when
they were erected. With the NOLAN
medan faith, the Turks took the
sword, and have, ever since, been q
menace to Christianity. Till. y.

10 Make More Powder.

Something OF Importance to the
advocates of Governmental ownership
and which was not widely advertised,
occurred in the House just before ad-
journment. The naval appropriation
bill was up for consideration. Mr..
Rixey, of Virginia, offered an amend
ment making an appropriation of $780,.
600 for the purpose of enlarging the
Governments smokeless powder plant
at Indian Head, Ind. The plant will
be more than doubled in size-from q
capacity of 1000 to 5000 pounds a
day. In making his amendment Mr..
Rixey thought it would be a money
saver to the government, instead of q
constant drain on the treasury. The
navy, he said, now uses 10000 pounds
of powder a day, 5000 pounds Of
which it buys, the other 1900 pounds
being made at Indian Had. The
powder bought by the government
costs 80 cents pound, while that
manufactured at Indian Head costs
only 40 cents q pound, just halt the
cost of the purchased article. By in
creasing the Indian Head plant out
put from 1000 to 5000 pounds q day
daily saving of 81, 200 or s375, 600 a
year of 3l3 working days, is effected
The proposed increase in the plant
would thus pay for itself about seven
times the fret year. The amendment
was adopted. Thus is government
ownership slowly but surely forcing
itself onward.-Herald, Duton, Ga.

The Tippler's Fallacy.

Il can drink or let 1t alone" you say
AZ you scornfully turn from the pledge
away.
Nor hand Of mine
Shall ever sign
A vow that makes me a. -crouchin9 slave:
l rank with the many, free and brave"
So you say. and indeed we very we'll
know
You can drink to excess and frequently
do,
But we're In doubt,
You see, about
The other half Of your boosted creed,
And the better half it is indeed.
The ability you have to drink my friend,
Is weakness and will increase to the end,
But strong Is he
And nobly free
Though taunted by friend and haunted by
foe
Who stin lets alone the dark cup OF woe.
Your loud protestation means probably
An occasional glass is nothing amiss,
To put it blunt,
can, but won't
surrender the manly prerogative
To drink when please and as much, die
or live .
All. yes. you say now you can '1et it
alone!"
80 thousands have said as they went reel
ing down
The course Of drink
To ruins brink
TIL, health. hope and friends and property
gone,
They died, warning others to let it alone.
Today you may stop, it IS true, If you
choose,
But think Of the strength by indulgence
you lose,
While appetite,
With growing might
10 fearfully undermining your soul
And ciasping about you its fatal control
It's plain that the rational way to prove
Your power to surrender the drink you
love
Ii to give up
The drunkard's cup,
In this Is your manhood's liberty
AID he alone who does it is free

To Investigate Rates.

Freight tariffs throughout Mime
sofa on coal and lumber will be
thoroughly investigated by the state
railroad and warehouse commits sion,
beginning April 9. All of the rail-
roads operating in the state have been
summoned to appear before the COM
mission On that date as to the subject
mentioned, and it is purposed to make
the investigation an exhaustive one.
This step is the outcome of COM
plant filed recently by q merchant Of
Litchield against the Great Northern
in An effort to Secure reduction of
the rates on coal and lumber fro N Du-
luth and the Twin Cities to his town.
The Great Northern, uaon being
called upon to answer this complaint
merely set forth the fact that it's line
b5tween the points specified leaves the
state of Minnesota and after running
for some distance through Wisconsin
returns to Minnesota; thereby taking
the ground that traffic between those
points is interstate commerce aud
therefore beyond the Jurisdiction of
the state commission.
The commission ignored the ques-
ton OF its jurisdiction, but upon tax
ing up the complaint determined that
the problem it presented would by re-
lation at least involve the tariff on
coal and lumber on all of the rail-
roads In the state.-St. Paul Globe.

Why not Extend to Witlmar7

It is now officially announced that
the 500 proposes to build into the
White Earth Indian reservation. For
some months past surveyors have
been engaged in the location of q line
running north from Glenwood, but
until recently the company's inten-
lions were not definitely understood.
Even now there is some uncertainty
as to just where the new lire will
terminate, for the engineers are still
at work and the company has not yet
declared itself on that point.
reformation available at this time
is to the effect that the new line will
be more than 200 miles in length and
that construction will be begun at
once. Material for the tracks is now
being delivered, and it is said the
work will be pushed forward as rapid
~ as possible.
President Lowry, of the 500, said
last night that it was the intention of
the company to penetrate the White
Earth reservation, and pursuing the
subject further, he said:
1T is the intention of the 500 to
extend its lines wherever it is necesz
sary for business, regardless of other
roads; and to develop especially the
territory tributary to Minneapolis
and st. Paul. Our disposition is not
simply to infringe upon the territory
of other roads, but to develop coun-
try for our own interest regardless of
whether it is tributary to other roads
Or not.''
1t is announced as the intention of
the company that as much CT the new
road as possible shall be completed
this summer. Officers OF the company
say that it has not yet been determ-
ined where the terminus of the new
line shall be. The new branch of the
500 will cross the Great Northern at
Alexandria,, the Northern Pacific lust
to the east of Detroit and the Brock
enridge division of the Great North

We have all heard of temperance
grocery stores, temperance hotels, ETC.,
but many people never heard OF a tenn
perance lumber yard. Yet for many
years such an establishment existed at
the corner of Seventh and Carpenter

police station now stands and which
was erected mainly through the efforts
Of the late Joseph L. Nobre, select
councilman from the Second ward,
says A. L. Syne in the Philadelphia

Messrs. r. L. and C. L. Nicholson
conducted the lumber business there
and had large trade, but would never
sell foot of lumber to any one con-
nected with the liquor business il they
knew it. On one occasion builder,
who is still living, called there and
after buying lot went into the Office
and planked down the money. AS the
clerk was about to hand him the bill
he asked where it was to be sent and
on being told that it was to be deliv-
cred to a beer saloon on South street
be said:
1.-THE sale Il OF. We never sell goods
to any one connected with that bust
ness" And all the talking the builder,
who was and is still a lifelong teeto-
taller, could do did not alter the de-
dsion. His money was politely hand

elsewhere for his lumber. Neverthe-
less a large amount of temperance

CURE OF DRUNKENNESS.
Some of the Views Held by a Noted
EnGlish Physician.

An address on intemperance in wo-
men recently delivered by Sir Thomas
Barlow, Bart, is interesting on &C.
count Of its practical suggestiveness,
says the Lancet. In dealing with the
original information Of this habit but
little Importance is attached to the in
fuence Of mere heredity, though it is
not denied that this factor does in some
Families appear to play its part. The
practice of drinking, which eliminates
In drunkenness, is regarded and treat
ed from first to last as a habit rather
than as a disease and one which had
been developed out of acts of self in
diligence.
In the implied indictment of the indi-
vidual and Of society, where custom
and example have much to answer for,
there is no want Of sympathy. On the
contrary, every allowance is made for
misunderstanding, temptation and hui
man frailty. At the same time the ele-
ment Of moral responsibility is never
lost sight Of. It is in the recognition of
this quality that we find the clew to
successful treatment Sir Thomas Bar
low Is no pessimist. He firmly believes
in the possibility Of reclamation. and
he relies for the attainment of this OBJ
ject largely upon an awakening of the
moral sense.
Intemperance Is not a mere disease.
It Is not even an uncomfortable habit
It Is moral wrong, to be admitted,
repented Of and combated by every
available means If the poor victim Is
ever to obtain her emancipation. It is
not to be expected that she can at all
events as a rule be depended upon to
work out her own salvation on these
lines. She has nevertheless Ito a GER
own hands," and it is necessary to
make her see this. Moreover, the as
distance Of friends and especially an
example Of abstinence on their part
can do very much to help her.
There must be few persons, and prob
ably no medical men, who do not in
their hearts admit the truth Of these
observations. We believe that the alco-
holic habit is in no sense different In
character from any other form Of use
and wont, such as is constantly seen to
influence the course Of human conduct.
It is infinitely more injurious than the
great majority Of such personal Gus
mainly by those moral, intellectual and
social means which have been consid-
cred above.
