A Difficult Position.

II
The position OF the prince. it must be
confessed, is one of much difficulty He is
expected TO obey the peremptory COM
mands of the Gar. theoretically he
should be absolutely legal and devoted
to the Sultan, who IS his suzerain as
far as Bulgaria is concerned. and his
sovereign with regard to the Eastern
Roumelian portion of his domiaions- His
pricipality is bankrupt. He is under the
ban of the church. having been subjected
to the penalty of minor exc0mmunica-
ton by the Pope and debarred from the
sacrameuts tor violating his pledged word
in causing his eldest boy to be converted
from Catholicism TO the Orthodox Greek
rite and he is threatened with assassi-
nation by the leaders Of the Macedonian
revolutionary movement unless he plays
their game and favors them and their
policy. Thanks to General Paprikoff his
army is wholly Macedonian in its sympa-
thies. a large proportion Of the officers
and men being Macedopians.
Add to this that he is keeniy ambi-
tious TO add Macedonia to his domin-
ions. and to proclaim himself King Of
Greater Bulgaria, and it viii be seen
that the condition Of affairs is, to say
the least, complicated. and that the
prince is very far from being a free
agent. He is in much the same predica-
ment as Napoleon III whose life was in
constant danger at the hands Of Italian
carbonari. owing 10 his neglect to fuluU
his promises made 10 the leaders Of the
movement 10 which they belong If At
anv moment Prince Ferdinand appears
! to the Macedonian revoIuu9nists 10 be
playing them false, his assassination
will speedily follow al their hands. and

and England IS engaged in bringing
pressure TO bear upon the Porte to com
pei it introduce the promised reforms
into Macedonia. and thus remove the
''ratson d'etre" for the impending insur-
rection. In fact. the relations between
the three great. powers in question and
the Turkish government are the re-
verse Of cordial Just at present. owing
TO the threats addressed b. them TO the
Sultan. in order to compel him to i've
up TO his promises about Macedonia,
and thus avert a revolution which might
precipitate a fuII-fedged European war.
The discovery. therefore. that Prince
Ferdinand is in secret and active CORE
spondence with the Sultan, is, to say the
least, suspicious and calculated TO create
doubts at St. Petersburg as to the sin
cerity OF his professions Of loyalty and
devotion to the Gar. His grandfather.
King Louis Philippe, lost his French
throne precisely on account of this ina
bility to refrain from double dealing,
and because. having forfeited the conf
dence Of everyone in turn. nobody
would trust him any longer. It viii be
the same way with Prince Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria, whom the late Emperor Of
Russia was always wont to denounce as
a prince without even a vestige of honor
OF the slightest regard for his PIighted
word

The subject Of Mr.. Bancrofts lee
lures Is one Of the most Interesting.
we think, that can engage the atten-
ton of the student Here was a CIV
ilized community practically isolated
from the rest of the world through
watchful blockading fleets The only
foreign commerce that could be car
RED on had to be carried on either by
running the blockade or by con
nivance of the enemy. In any event
II was insignificant compared to the
commerce of the South under normal
conditions.
Under the conditions prevailing
during the war, therefore, the specta-
Gle was presented of an almost wholly
agricultural community thrown upon

hair cut, Unfortunately, before he
was able to give a satisfactory dem
onstration OF the practical workings
Of ms original theory of civilization,
some OF the Indians threatened to re
move the scaIpIoeks of certain obnoz-
ious Government agents.
These latter naturally were quick
to see the advantages of d compro-
mise, So it was agreed that the In
dams should be permitted 10 wear
their hair TO suit themselves, and the
Indian agents theirs. Who knows but
that, II Commissioner Jones had been
suffered To carry. out his tonsorial ex-
periments. If might have been possible
