Miller Sues City.

August Miller has brought suit against
the city to recover SIG, which he alleges is
due him for services when he worked In
the street department. The city council
paid Miller on the basis OF a street fore
man. according to the statement of the
mayor that Miller had been appointed fore
man Of the street gang. Miller, however,
insisted that he was street commissioner
and entitled to SIS a month. As foreman he
was paid $50 a month. The case is now
pending in Justice Levy's court.

form. Already 1t is suggested that Austria
will present q note identical with that Of
Russia, and there Is a drift Of continental
opinion toward q conference Of the powers.
1t is significant. however, that political
factors are intruding themselves into the
situation. 1t Is pointed out that England
as long ago as last December proposed the
appointment of European officers for the
Macedonian gendarmerie whereat Russia
protested on the ground that the sultan in
tended to name Germans for this service.
Just what guarantee Russia has today that
this will not be done remains to be seen.
1t IS significant that Russia's demands
were not couched in terms of holy horror
at the slaughter Of Christians by the sui
tan's soldiers. The car was too discreet
to base his warlike move on humanitarian
or religious grounds. The wretched state
of the Balkan provinces moved him in no
degree while his fears for the safety of
his consuls and the future prestige of his
flag inspired him to his notwithstanding &C
ton. This was not only shrewd, but neces-
sary.
The Kishineff massacre is of too re-
cent memory to warrant any outburst of
indignation on the part of Russia in the
matter of the mistreatment of religionists
who fail to adopt the state theology. or
course the killing of the Jews was not dis
tinctly state affair. 1t has been denounced
by the government in Enthusiastically
feeble Russian terms and there Is some
show of punishment. But the world still
holds the belief that the outbreak against
the Jews was not regarded at st. Peters,

Gus enterprises of the bashi bazouks or

the world to know that the cars govern

tan's government does not like the Chris
tians and that Russia wants a Mediterra-
mean port. These three facts enter into any
situation involving the activities of either
Muscovite or Turk.

The 0vergrown Postal Gard
IN the New Bedford (Aiass.) Standard.


The Washington Star calls attention In
a postal card measuring 20h by inches
which was issued by a recently exploited
turf investment concern. and makes this
card the text for a protest against the
whole brood of mammoth postal cards. The
Star says:
There should be some amendment to the
postal laws restricting the size of a card
mailable at the one-cent rate. In no other
way Is 1t possible, apparently, to prevent
the boomers of various commodities and
items of information from annoying the
public with their freak prints, which waste
the time and space of receivers and congest
the mall bags often to the detriment Of the
service"
That Is right. The mammoth postal card
Is an Irritating nuisance. No man likes to
find one among his mail matter. and we
do not see why business men should use
them. Their air of obtrusiveness Is in itself
a pre1udicing factor against whatever Il
advertised by their means. Besides. for all
useful purposes OF a postal card, the ordi-
nary size IL quite sufficient, and the over
grown specimen has no good claim to 9
place In the mali bags.

Russia and Turkey.

When a Russian naval force yesterday
appeared before a Turkish port and stimuli
taneously the cars ambassador at Con-
stantinople presented certain demands upon
the sultan growing out of the killing of
the Russian consul at Monastir, it appeared
as though the sultan's government could
not we'll do more in the premises with
out abjectly asking the car to walk upon
the Turkish neck. The murderer and his
accomplices had been executed. imprisoned
or dismissed from the army. The governor
of the province had been 'banished'' The
widow of the murdered consul had been
offered an indemnity of $4,000 and the son
fathers apology to the Russian ambassador
at Constantinople.
Russla's new demands. however. went
much further and looked to the establish
ment of new conditions i'll the Balkans

Pasha. acting governor of Monastir, must
be censured for failing to preserve a higher
degree OF order since his designation. Ger
tain minor Turkish officials must be re-
moved. European officers must be appoint
ed to command the gendarmerie in Mace
donna.
But despite his previous protestattons
that he had gone TO the limit the sultan
did bend his neck to the Russian heel and
grant the demands. Thus a stroke of war
Is averted and the former condition of
questionable peace is restored. The sultan
is an accomplished war averter when 1t
suits his purposes and his needs.
He is finished promiser and a
facile procastinator. 1t is by no
means assured that he will do everything
that he now promises the car. But the

If you covet diploma as a modern jour-
nalist
You must face a life Of hardship and of
care;
For the various requirements upon which
they will insist
Are calculated to induce despair.
You must cultivate style to put Macau-
ley to the blush;
You must know bit of Latin and of
Greek;
You must be competent to analyze a foot
ball rush
And say just where base ball team Is
weak
And then. if you will study hard for thirty
years or so.
You may become a journalist as journalists
now go.
You must know who's in society. and like
wise who is out,
And wear your evening clothes at close OF
day,
Unless perchance you're called to referee a
boxing bout,
In which event a sweater Is au fait.
You must know the politicians and the
moves they mean to make,
Or tell the farmer what makes turnips
grow:
And If you have clairvoyant gifts a prize
perchance you'll take
For giving tips on how a race will go.
And when you've mastered these details
you're started on the way
To make an honored and accepted jour-
nalist some day.

THE TRUTH WILL tUr.

The subsidized railroad press, seeking
TO help their owners avoid just taxation
has sought to convey the impression that
those men who have been demanding that
the railroads pay tax upon a higher as
sessment, are fighting the railroad. Moth
mig is further from the truth. The real
position of those who have been pointing
out how the quasi public corporations
have escaped taxation, is thus stated by
the Roanoke Chowan Times:
ct is the duty of the press of the
State to insist that all property, whether
owned by private citizens or corporations,
be listed for taxation at its full value
in money. We all know that the large
corporations, such as the railroads, are
undervalued; but that is no reason why
other property should escape taxation.
Let us insist that the railroads be as
sessed at their full value and at the same
time get all other property on the tax
books There is work for each citizen to
do along this line
The true and lawful position is all COM
passed in thi9 admonition: LET us in
sist that the railroads be assessed at
their full value and at the same time
get all other property on the tax books. "
The position of the subsidized papers
is this: Undervalue enough private prop
erty to give the railroads a chance to
have their property underyalued by
claiming that they should not be as
vate property. The only legal and fair
way is to follow the law-assess all prop
erty, private and quasi public-at it's
true value in money"
