MORE TsorBLE For rBr TURK.


The murder of an American consul by
the Turks is an event which unexpect-
edly but inevitably draws the United
States into n complication with the diff
ficulties of the Turkish empire, the
ultimate results OF which are uncertain.
Our government very properly kept
aloof from the difficulty in which Tur
key is involved in the Balkan troubles.
1t was very properly realized that so
far as the United States is concerned
1t had nothing to do with the affairs
in which only the European powers
were concerned. American interests
were not even indirectly affected thereby
and consequently, whatever interest our
people might take in the welfare of the
Christians that were being prosecuted
by the Turks, we had no right to inter
fere.
Now there is a change in the condi-
tions An American consul has fallen
victim to Turkish brutality, appar-
emily for the sole reason that he was
an American, and the question comes
home to our government as to what
shall be done in the way Of reparation.
That question, according to Washington
advices, is being already met by the
ordering of war vessels to Turkish
waters with a demand for reparation.
Obviously this is the correct course
1t is demanded by national self-respect
and 1t is justified by international law.
Our case is absolutely as clear as that
of Russia, to whose demands the Turk
ish government has just unqualifedly
yielded. But will the European powers
be as ready to concede the demands Of
the United States as they were to ac-
quiesce in those of Russia? That is a
question yet to be determined, and If
they should not be, what then will be
the course of our government?
There is obviously q. possibility of a
complication in this matter that may
prove perplexing, but whatever the out
come the United States must and will
insist upon adequate reparation for the
murder of its consul, which according
to the reports seems to have been abso-
lutely without provocation-a cold
blooded assassination simply because he
was an American.
Later advices are to the effect that
our consul was not killed, although an
attempt at his assassination was made
Should this prove to be correct, the
| l..
what relieved, but the necessity fol
prompt and full reparsbon will remain
the same.

REFORMS IN TRAIN SERVICE
Paris Committee Suggests Changes
as Result of Investigating
Tunnel Disaster.

PARIS, Aug. 2s.-The municipal COM
mittee investigating the recent tunnel dis
aster on the Metropolitan railroad has
drawn up report which will be approved
by the prefecture. indicating the reforms
which should be Immediately made in the
railroad systems of Paris. The
principal proposals are that a motor at
each end of the train should be suppressed; ;
the motors must be capable of isolation
from the train; In case of the slightest fro
the train must be stopped and the motor
isolated; telephones and speaking tubes
must be provided at reasonable intervals
along the line; the humber of employees
at the stations must be increased: the
platforms must be cleared of every ob-
struction and lighted by an electric cur
rent Independent of the currents supplying
the traction or The lighting of the tunnels;
numerous lamps must be placed to indi-
cate the direction of the exit at which
powerful inextinguishable lamp must be
lighted and an alarm must be sounded If
found necessary to clear the station.
The report says that it is proposed to
insist later ON the use of incombustible
rolling stock and the construction OF
refugees in the tunnel walls

New York Mail and Express.
Tie is the most encouraging man ever
knew; he always thinks It is going to clear
on That was a remark heard in the
crowd on the street as people were hasten
ing to the dock to start for the yacht race
This cheerful person had already cleared
the weather so far ns the little party who
were discussing him were concerned. Their
faces were radiant with smiles at the mere
thought of him.
The man who always thinks It is going to
clear off is a blessing to any community.
He takes a cheerful view of the weather
because he takes a cheerful view of every
thing. He Is wise .neteorologically because,
as a matter Of fact, It generally does clear
off, and he is wise temperamentally and in
the worlds sense because continued cheer
fulness, a habitualy hopeful view, is re-
warded with the worlds affection and con-
fidence-two things which are worth a great
deal more than its money.
There are too many good people in the
world who make a kind of public calamity
OF their goodness. We doubt whether a
good person who thus makes his goodness
a cheerless and critical thing comes of as
we'll in the eternal account as the man who,

FrrrRe OF THE POPuLIsrs.


No unbiased observer of the Grand
Island convention will be able TO see In
it anything of encouragement for the
future of the populist party in either
national or state politics. Aside from
the meager attendance, which might
possibly have been explained away un-
der other circumstances, the meeting
disclosed the fact that the populists
have no distinctive purpose before them
upon which they can agree to unite
their efforts.
The Denver manifesto, which under
took to set forth the cardinal doctrines
of populism and to outline a plan for
their propagation, was practically repu-
dated by the convention notwlthstand-
ing the assurances of the old wheel
horses OF the party that it alone offered
an opportunity for party salvation. If,
therefore, the program mapped out at
Denver is abandoned. as it now seems
il must be-, an attempt to hold a popu-
list national nominating convention
next year is certain to prove abortive.
1t is doubtful II call for such con-
vention would receive a response from
a dozen states in the union, and a ma
tional convention representing less than
a quarter of the states and territories
entitled to representation in it would
only emphasize the sorry straits into
which the party had fallen and hasten
its complete disintegratiOn.
Within the state the populists have
little If anything more to look forward
to. Next years state campaign will be
inextricably interviewer with the ma
tional campaign, and continued fusion
means only continued subserviency to
the democratic machine. The demo
Gratis might be willing to buy populist
support by throwing few Official
crumbs as a sop, but the populists who
have always objected to trading their
birthright for a mess of pottage will
find this going against the grain. They
will discover that when it comes to
effecting reforms through the old par
ties the republicans are much more OF
reform party than the democrats. The
intelligent populist who went into the
third party movement honestly and sin
cerely will soon have to confess that the
party has run it's career of usefulness
and consider a realignment-and wher
he does that he will realize that the re
publican party is nearer to a peoples
party than the opposing democratic
party.

COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.
Proposed Transformation of the sand
Hills of Nebraska,


st. Louis Republic.
The Undertaking of the United States
government to transform the sand hills of
Nebraska into a pine forest seems vision
airy. 1t is proposed that the government
plant 10O0o0,000 trees where now is desert.
Scientists are certain that these trees will
grow and that the sand hills can nourish
a forest
The idea is staggering. At first blush
the thing appears impossible, but II may
be rational. Gradually the great forests
of North America are being destroyed in
the interests of the lumber business, Time
will come when the supply will fail unless
steps are taken TO reinforce it from arti-
fetal sources. The area TO be used in Ne
braska is now a waste of sand. Yet 1t is
declared that a few feet below ground is
a rich soil, in which the roots of the bull
pine yellow pine or red cedar can find the
nourishment necessary to produce a large
character of the surface soil would slowly
change, until eventually, It is believed,
the entire area would become rich and
productive.
Ten years will be required to plant 100
100000 trees. Many more years must elapse
before the forest can become a reality.
But II it be true, as the professors OF
forestry say, that trees will grow on the
sand hills. such an artificial forest will
be a great boon to the second or third
generation. Try it,

ANALYZES The BOER WAR
British Secretaries and Generals Show Feel

BLAME OF FAILURES PASSED AROUND
Lord wOIseIey Complains of Assump-
tion of Power by war DEPART
ment and Lord Kitchener
Critictses Omcera.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-The evidence given
before the royal commission on the South
African war is issued today in the form
of three blue books containing over 100
pages.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Lord Kitch-
ener Field Marshal Lord Wolseley and
other generals give various reasons for
the failures of the war Lord Roberts
gave especially lengthy opinions regarding
the most important lessons learned from
the war. He considered the initial error
of strategy practically irretrievable. He
criticised the War ONCE with regard to
the general preparations and equipment,
the first plan of campaign. the understand
ing of the enemy and British ignorance
as to the geography and extent of the
country and the lack of artillery and
mounted infantry.
General Sir Redvers Butler said he was
hampered by the failure Of the War office
to accept his plans and the failure on the
part of the War office to give him definite
instructions and information.
Lord Kitchener said the officers in many
cases were not qualified for their work
and expressed the opinion that the juniors
were better than the seniors. He praised
the men, but said the chief difficulty was
the lack of training Of reservists and vol
unteers.
Lord Wolseley in a memorandum COM
plains that the commander-in-chief has
become the fifth wheel to the coach and
that the secretary Of state for war is the
actual commander-in-chief.
Replying to this criticism. Lord Lans-
downe, war secretary during the early part
OF the South African war, and Mr.. Brod-
rick present war secretary and successor
of Lord Dansdowne, suggested that Lord
Wolseley was ignorant of many of the
powers OF a commander-in-chief or failed
to use them.
The whole publication teens with evil
dences of mistakes and failures at home
