The death-rate Of the State of Mas
sachusetts has been falling steadily
for ten years and in the last year was
lower than ever before. General con-
ditions are changing for the better,
and the mortality from consumption
and some other infectious diseases has
decreased. The State Board of Health
suggests that the gain is in a meas.
ure due TO immigration since most of
the immigrants are soundbodied per-
sons Of favorable age. Immigrants
do not always get credit for their vlr-
tues, physical or other; but even II
we deny them the possession of ten
der qualities, we would be willing to
admit that the are tough.

The American people live and move
and have their being in an atmosphere
or harmless shams, many of which
take form as titles and dlgnities. They
are pure wind and mean nothing at
all. There are judges who know moth
Ing Of law. There are doctors of laws,
medicine, theology and phil nophy
who never even passed through the
primary school, to say nothing OF accu-
nulating university degrees. There
are colonies galore, generals not few
and captain here and there who does
not know the difference between n
repeating rifle and an Australians
boomerang and never smelt gunpow-
der except on the Fourth of July.

THE MACEDONIAN REVOLT.
Reasons Why the Christians Do Not
Beat the MahOmmedans.

London Spectator.
Perhaps the greatest perplexity in the
politics of the Balkans is a certain weak
ness in the Christian population. Why do
not the insurgents beat the Turks? They
are more numerous, they have the strong
est motives for fighting that men can have.
they have a most defensible country, and
most of them I'm Macedonia are of the
same race as their oppressors. Yet we all
know, or at least believe, that if the great
powers do not intervene the oppressors will
conquer the insurgents, perhaps extirpate
them, certainly drive them back into their
slavery Why? The west usually answers
that question in one of two ways-by de-
claring that the Turks are far Drawer SOL
diers, or by abusing the Balkan peoples for
their hatred of one another; but neither
reply is quite conclusive.
The latter indeed, is a little ridiculous
Those who urge Ii. as the Times. for exam
pie. frequently does. always say that Greeks
and Bulgarians hate each other, that there
are differences of race and creed in the
southern portion of the peninsula which
make cohesion impossible. and that a gen
erai resurrection is really only an insur-
rection of some division of the people
They cannot be independent for they cam
not be united. and therefore cannot frame
an effective government And then they
add that whenever Turkish governor gen
eral is a reasonable and capable man order
is at once restored, and the Earring tribes
and congregations cease to clash and be-
come people. Will any one explain why,
If a Turkish governor general can weld his
subjects together so perfectly and easily,
a European prince must fail in performing
the same feat? He is distinctly nearer to
the people than the Turk. he works through
wiser methods, and he has a greater per-
sonal interest in succeeding. that is. in
building up strong little kingdom which
he can transmit TO his descendants. Why
is 1t always assumed that he must fail
when in Roumania, Servia, Bosnia and
Bulgaria he has more or less succeeded?
AS for the comparative courage, the
Turks are no doubt brave soldiers, but
their qualities have always been better
developed in the men than in the officers;
the Poles, who are Slavs, often defeated
Them and so did the Germans. and the
Bulgarians are perfectly ready to face
them in the field. They themselves acknowl-
edge that the Albanians, who are by race
Europeans. are drawer than themselves,
and they have never been able to conquer
the Montenegrins. who are Christians and
on the whole, till very recently, less well
armed. We can see no clear reason for
believing that IL the Macedonians. in des-
pair of any other redress. rise universally
in all their villages and mountains TO fight
as men i'm despair usually do fight, they
must inevitably be defeated.
