THE TROUBLE
With The insurgents in
Turkey Doubtless Ex-
aggerdted.

The trouble in Turkey is only an
old sore, breaking out afresh. Ever
since the fanatical Moslems overran
Macedonia. five centuries ago, there
has been an irreconcileablea antagon-
ism between the Christians and Mos
lens in the subjugated territory, and
/ frequent uprising of the Christians.
AS a result there have been troubles,
that at times have involved Turkey
in war with Russia. Greece and other
/ European powers, and the dominions
of Turkey have been reduced fully
one half in extent, in the settlement
of these wars.
Roumania, Bulgaria, Ssrvia, Mon
tenegro. and other principalities
and kingdoms have been carved out
of Turkish territory.
But the hatred of the Turk, among
the Christians in the territory still
occupied by Turkey, has not abated
and doubtless never will, till the
Turks have been driven out of Eu
rope, and a Christian Government
set up again at Constantinople.
The present insurrection, which ex
lists throughout Macedonia, and il
Encouraged by the Christians of Bull
garia and Albania, is but a repeti
ton of the troubles of the past.
Nothing will come of it, but murde
lrapine, atrocities, and an increases
