THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The ever present Eastern question
again attracts the attention of the
world. Turkey in Europe is the plague
spot of the earth The Turk in
Europe has been the cause of intermn-
able strife And the peculiar fact
connected With the trouble is that the
Turk has been kept on his throne by
the Christian powers of Europe. Had
the sick man of Constantinople been
left to himself he would have been
driven out long ago. Ever since Mo-
hometanism. taking advantage of the
decline of the Roman Empire, came
forth from it's home in Asia. and in Il
great tidal wave swept over Northern
Africa and across Spain and into
France and from tile other side COM
plctely covered Asia minor. Greece. and
W hat is now the Balkan states. ever
since that time the Turk has been Il
constant menace to Europe. Why
have these Spmi-lnrlmri;lns been to-
Grated? The answer is easy. The
jealousy of European powers has kept
the Turk in Europe. The Eastern
question is only another name for the
struggle between Occidcntalism and
Oricntaiism. This struggle so far y.
Europe is concerned would have been
settled long ago If only the Occidental
powers could agree among themselves
rs to who should have the privilege of
the driving the Turk out of Europe,
and taking his empire. Russia would
gladly have performed this task long
ago had l.nghid only permitted. Bat

County Exhibits.

One of the most valuable features
of the Minnesota State Fair has de-
velOped from the offer of the manage
ment of special premiums for county
exhibits. Competition has been keen
among the counties in the last two
or three fairs and ut the fair of 1903
it promises to be still more attractive.
More counties than ever will partici-
pate in the display. and building on
the experience of former years, the
exhibits will certainly be finer.
The Fair management offers $1,000
for county exhibits to be divided pro-
rata among the county exhibits scor-
ing seventy points or more, and in
addition makes these offerings:
For the exhibit scoring highest in
this class an additional 5000 will be
paid: for the exhibit scoring second
highest, $50: for the exhibit scoring
third highest. 500: for the exhibit
scoring fourth highest, $75; for the
exhibit scoring fifth highest, $50; for
the exhibit scoring sixth highest $25.
For taste and design in arrange
ment of the exhibits in this class, the
following premiums are offered: list
$4,000, 2d-S5O.OO, 3d--$4O.OO, 4th-
$4,000. 5th-S2OOO. Entries in this

Cockrel could be elected and that he

the United States Senate. He is pop

disposition is enhanced by the fact
that the population OF the interior of
Macedonia is largely Slav. Greece
| also desires Macedonia. and bases her
claim upon historic grounds. and the
fact that the people of the coast Of

considerations are which hold the Turk
in Europe. The present uprising will
mean nothing unless Russia takes a

for Turkey, no more so than Greece

the end will come. and the MuSsulmall

day will come when Russia considers
herself sufficiently strong to defy Eng

Russia to England. Russia seems
