REPTLA AND TIE SERBS.

The talk about making Servia a republic
seems theoretically reasonable, but is probably
impossible in practice The Seryians are as
rule democraticaIly inclined, almost as much so
as their neighbors the Hungarians, who are
among the most democratic people in Europe
But the King of Hungary and his court would
not look with favor upon the establishment Of
a republic in Servia. but would doubtless use
all possible influence against it. perhaps even
10 forcible intervention Certainly. too, any
such thing would be highly offensive to Russia;
and Russia is influential in Servia and must
be seriously reckoned with, although properly
she has no business 10 meddle with that Coun-
try seeing that it has never belonged to her and
does not adjoin her empire Finally, there is
the fact that Peter Kara ageorgevitch wants TO be
King Of Servia, and has long been plotting 10
that end There is no reason TO suppose that
now in the hour of his triumph, he will re
nounce mis- old ambition.
Il is not clear either, that Servia would be
8 success as a republic. indeed that it is cal
culated TO succeed greatly in any Independent
capacity It is only fragment of people, and
there is little hope that it will ever regain the
remainder Of the people We have said that the
Servians are not all Serbs. Of the 100000
inhabitants Of the kingdom fully 100000 are
=.
more than twice as many Serbs in other coun-
tries as in Servia itself. Thus while there are
only 2Oo0 900 of them in Servia, there are $50,
600 in Montenegro. 100000 in Bosnia and Her
zegovina. and 100000 in Austria Hungary
chiefly the Croats who are identica1with Serbs.
We NAV regard Bosnia and Herzegovina as
permanent part Of Austria Hungary, and thus
reckon 100000 Serbs in that empire. OF
course there is, despite the chronic discomfort
and semi-insurrection Of the Croats no posi-
bility Of Hungary's ever surrendering Croatia
to Servia and so union Of all the Serbs in a
Greater Servia" is out of the question.
Neither does there seem 10 be any reasonable
prospect of the recreation Of the "Old Servia"
of Stephen Dushan. who subdued Bulgaria. Al
bania and Macedonia, and threatened Byzan-
Uum itself, proposing TO make the whole Balkan
Peninsula his empire and barrier against the
Osmanli Turks Had he lived longer he might
have fulfilled his scheme. But his wretched
son let the empire lapse. and its fate was sealed
al kossovo. Since then there has been no hope
Of ever fulfilling Stephen the Strangers de-
sign.
Indeed, seeing the distractions and barbara
ties Of Servia and its incapacity for decent self
government. il might he for the best TO have
il disposed Of as We're Bosnia and Herzegovina
Twenty-Five years ago those provinces, inhab-
tied chiefly by Serbs were the most turbulent
and lawlesS in the whole Balkan Peninsula
Brigandage and murder were the standard oc-
cupations of the people. Albania at its worst
was admirable compared with them Then they
were placed under ApstrO- Hungarian admins
tration. The latter government had a hard
time dealing with them But ii mastered the

An agitation which is going the rounds OF tne
nrass in New-Epgland in favor of more CIVIL
ized Fourth of July is worthy OF greater sue
cass than if is likely to have. New-England IL
seJf is RESPONSIBLE for our present barDarous
calehration though John Adams. when he sug-
gested the firing of cannon and other noisy eA-
hiti+ions of ioy, doubtless had no conception Oh
the bideous lengths 10 which his idea would De

horrors and dangers of our prevailing tourth Oh
July customs The toy pistol and the cannon
cracker are as bad as q pesulence a ulSpidy
Of beautiful fireworks has its redeem1ng feat
ures. The small boy with his drecrachers must
be INDUCED to certain extent But just WHY
il should be thought proper IN the name OIL
nat1.iotisn to set off noise making machines like
cannon crackers, of such power that they ire
ouently do serious damage to life and property
and always shatter nerves. is not clear. 1t
would be as sane to have Park-ave. explosions
now and then for fun. Such accidents cause
excitement and in spite Of their fatalities PROB
ably amuse a certain number or people
It is, of course, too much to hope that the ira
dition of many years will be overcome by rea-
son with any great speed. particularly Wheh
the traditional observance gives an outlet Tor
the demon of noise dwelling in all boys and in
many men. We shall doubtless have the usual
day OF noise. But it is not too much TO ask that
the disorder be strictly confined to that day
Too great liberation has been given TO the Gus
tom of setting off crackers for days before and
after the Fourth of July The street hoodlums
in particular delight to prolong the seasons
license TO frighten horses and annoy people. In
this respect the ordinances should be strictly
enforced. and the use of fireworks in the public
streets rigidIy restricted 10 the day when long
custom sanctions this display of spirits. One
day of barbarous, dangerous and nerve racking
noise may be. and, indeed, must be. endured
But there is no excuse for the liberation OF a
week or month of such torture.
