 Moreover, Bul ulgaria rushes in not because it wants to help Macedonia, but because Macedonia may start the war which may result in Bull garian independence. Macedonia refuses overtures, because 1t fears the despotism of the Slay as great ly as the cruelty of the Turks.
 The Macedonian rcyoIutionists are very clear in their programme. They dc not ask for anything at once, but seek their independence gradually. The first step is for nation of four provinces. which shall enjoy administrative auton- omy under high European com mission nominated by the SIX grand Powers of Europe, with a European Goyarncr-General fer each of the proz4nces and European conlInis- sion to do the work of organization. This calls for the independence of Macedonia, while remaining under the political authority of the Sul- tan. It seeks to avoid the present Turkish troops by obtaining an in- teEnational army of occupation ot 45,OO0 men, to be maintained III the country during the work ot or ganzatiOn, after which 1t will be reduced one-half and will remain as a police force. Of course, Turkey fights these demands, and thus the optrages go on.
 Out of it all comes the louder cry that the Turk shall be driven from Europe; that, like the beast that he is, he must be caged and tanned by the forces of civilization. With any great change must .oc- cur the further dismemberment of the Empire Once the Ottoman

This COW was kept in a two story frame barn in the rear of a modest dwelling at No. 137 De ko- ven street, on the southwest side of the city. Shortly after D. m., Sunday, October s, flames were dis covered issuing from the OLeary barn. Those who attempted 10 extin- gush the blaze in the barn testified

Lynching is the blackest blot on the reputation of this country. More than fifteen hundred persons were lynched in the United States w1thin the past ten years. It Is disgrace to us all, and whatever may be the palliating excuses, there is not an American who does not wish the removal of the evil.
 Now, if We should multiply the horrors of lynching with all its causes and attending circumstances a hundredfold perhaps even a thousandfold we should get an idea of the conditions which pre- vail in certain parts of the Turkish Empire, places where human be- ing a5e worse than savage beasts, ana where womanhood and child hood find neither mercy nor con- sidcra ton.
 in the scrappiness of the news dispatches it is difficult to get a connected idea of the situation. Therefore, it will be we'll for us to arrange our information somewhat as follows:
 ~The Turkish Empire of the pres ent day has an extent of 5,752 square miles in Europe, with 6,086, 300 inhabitants; 398, 300 square n1rses in Africa, with 1,300, 900 in- habitants, and 65O, 1894 square miles in Asia, with 17,545, 300 inhabi- tants, making total area of l, ,115,. 946 square miles, with A,931 SOC inhabitants. These are under the immediate rule of the Sublime Porte.
 Tributary to the Empire are the States of Bulgaria and Egypt, the Provinces of Bosnia and Herzego- vina. occupied by Austria, and thu principalities of Samos and Crete all of these making an area of 464, 936 square miles, with 14,969,31; inhabitants. so that the Turkish Empire has altogether 1,579,9s; square miles of area and just abou 40,00o,000 population.
 In all of these divisions there l more or less trouble constantly oc curing. but the chief centres O turmoil have been, are now and vii douhtless continue to be Bulgaria

hunted and wronged. For twenty five years the plunder has gone on. and the conditions today are mil nitely worse than they were when the enlightened commission met III Constantinople and drew up their statutes.
 Mr. Gladstone called the Sultan of Turkey the great assassin on the efoors of Parliament. He brought forth facts and figures to show that he was the most frightful murderer in modern history. The Sultan hates Christians. Anything that ntributes to their eYtermusation delights his satanic he art. He did more than decline to institute the reforms in Macedonia wt,ich he had promised; he let loosa upon the land tens of thousands of his I'm perial troops. scattering them broadcast and compelling them to live upon the people. These sol diers possess, to an even greater de gree, the hatred of their master, and they know that they are free to commit their excnses without expecting punishment from Con stantinopse. In their nest human moments they steal everything they can, even the shoes from the. feet of the p<.asants. and i'll the times of conflict their atrocities go beyond the possibilities of language, and almost of human creduRity, for there can be no limits to the bessl- ahty of men who cut small children and infants to pieces as a pashme.
 All this is going on today, and what do we find? The good Chris tran nations stand aloof, apparent lv satisfied with the promises of the Sultan, the most notorious liar of the world. For twenty-five years he has neglected even the sem blance of reform. He has steadily rewarded his officials who have committed the crimes and he stiil
 has the nerve to make pledges to
 Christendom, while his friends arc
 working more desperately thar ! ever before.

 Bulgaria is connected with Mace donia, because of the political rela- tions. and ambitions, and problems, and we can best understand the racial differences in Macedonia by the following statement of the pop ulation of the two Turkish prov inces which are known as Mace donia in the current news dis patches and literature:
 MONASTIR.
 Greeks (Christians). .31O,o00 Bulgarians (Christians) .174, 900 Serbs (Christians) ....... 13,OOO Armenians (Christians)... 12,O0o Turks (Mussulmans). ...- .344, 900

 The war between Russia and Turkey was fought in 1877 and 1878. In the treaty which followed there was crested Bulgarian prin- cipality in which the greater part of Macedonia was placed. This treaty was revised at Berlin, which detached Macedonia from Bulgaria and left it under the direct rule of the Sultan, declaring that reforms must be introduced into the ad- ministration of the province. An international commission, composed of delegates of European Powers, was appointed. It promptly met, brought great intelligence to bear upon the problems, and decided what should be done and how Mac edonia should be governed. These were turned over to the Turkish i Government and, as usual, the most absolute promises were given thai the work would be attended to.
 That was the first and last o1 the reforms. For quarter of century the Christians of Macedo nia have waited in vain. WheI they became insistent, thousands wore slaughtered and others were
