III MACEDONIANS.

That is a beautiful story that comes from
leaders that the ~unsympathetic attitude of
the American press toward their revolu-
tionary movement is due to Turkish gold,
The United States has a hard enough time
collecting what Turkish gold is due it from
the government of the Porte: certainly
there has never been any of it lying around
for newspaper distribution. Apparently the
Macedonian committee expected American
gold to flow in upon them as soon as thew
were organized. Whether their purpose in
starting the revolution was a venal one or
not, it is dollars to little red apnles that
every Leader in the crowd could he bouob+
with the same Turkish gold they are talk
Ing about, just as similar revolutionary or
CARNATIONS in the Balkans nave been
bought on many previous occasions. The
old spirit of ~venality that made the ancient
Greeks, with all their literary and artistic
talent, the most unstable people i'm the
world In a. political way, seems to have
been handed down all through southeastern
Europe, and the anxiety to fill itching
palms with gold is just as rife there now
as it was 2,0Oo years ago.
The American press does not bubble with
sympathy for the Macedonians because if
knows them. We have too manv sneci-
mems of the Balkan peoples in America to
entertain any illusions about them. Dirty
tricky, quarrelsome and mercenary tn the
last degree. they do not strike the average
American as available pegs to hang ro-
mantle ideals upon. They have a certain
amount of savage courage that makes them
fight like fiends in personal encounters. hut
of the higher quality of moral courage
they have none. The eternal quarrel no.
tween them and the Turks is not warfare
in behalf of the Christian religion. but a
race war. founded, like all race wars. on
ignorance n prejudice on both sides
Undoubtedly the American people wou,d
like to see the Turk expelled from Eurone
for many reasons, but sympathy with the
Macedonians is not much of a factor in This
wish.
