general and universal agitation of public ques-
tions and the facilities for instruction and enligh
eminent are continually multiplying and extending
Nevertheless the close observer of public Affairs and
Of public thought discovers lamentable want Of at
ention to details, deporable lack OF Information
and decidedly weak interest on the part Of many
citizens of competent minds-an indifference attrib
utable to narrow selfshness
In such men there is by no means the same un-
concern for private interests. Touch one of them
upon proposition involving his business or domestic
affairs and he exhibits quick keen intelligence. And
it is disheartening circumstance frequently to find
that men of the greatest success and leadership IN
business affairs exhibit the very least information
and competent opinion questions involving public
welfare. However to repeat it is gratifying to reflect
that the tendency is towards better instructed and
more penetrating public mind.
A lax, lazy Indifferent public mind must be the
resulting whole if composed of INDECENT or Indifferent
minds to any considerable extent.
Lax public opinion is easily led; easily msled within
certain limitations Honesty and good motive only
come to its rescue In extremis. thoroughly in
formed and initiative mind cannot be imposed upon
and cannot be denied: it leads rather than suffers
itself to be led and it leads surely and to certain
benefits.

The White House Is being made ready

DRIVE OUT THE TURK.

An impartial judgment upon the causes of irrita-
ton between the Porte and the Macedonian rebels

crueties of the Turkish sodiery Humanitarian con-

One of the latest news dispatches from the dis

surgent bands are operating in that vicinity. This
means that the dsafected area gradually is spread
