Reform or Anarchy.

CdDleS tlldC TeIdDle news or the
massacre at sSalonika lis understandable on
account of the censorship Of the press
but admitting exaggerations, the tragedy
was of more Importance than appears on
the surface, A. authenticated state
ment of the hideous outrages perpetrated
by the Turks in Macedonia since last au-
tumn appeared in the Contemporary Re
view for March written by DIR. E. j. Dill
lon, a recognized authority on Turkish af-
fairs and from other reliable sources
it appears that there is little doubt
that the Macedonian committee is
responsible for many hideous acts of
cruelty perpetrated upon the Turks, when
they can get hold of them, and that
there is little to choose between Turks
and patriots on the score of savagery.
The two powers, who practically stirred
UP the disorders by demanding reforms
from the sultan in Macedonia and else
where, knew perfectly well that, if the
sultan attempted to effect reforms, there
would be an explosion on the Balkan
peninsula. Such demand as Russia and
Austria made amounts to nothing with :
out the backing of force, concurrent
ly. They have done nothing of the
insistent kind. Germany, France and
Great Britain have done nothing. A few
admonitions have been issued to the Bull
garian government to prevent Bulgarians
from giving material aid to the Macedon-
ian committee, but this aid. in guns and

turbed district, Monastir, and the Mon
tenegrins, who have never been con-
quered by the Turks, are doing all they
can to keep up the resistance to the Turks
who now threaten the invasion of Bull
garia, with long program OF horrors
to execute upon them.
| All the world knows that Turkish
pledges of reform amount to- nothing and
| that. if the sultan were to carry out in the
| three provinces of Macedonia the re-
forms promised thru the Berlin trea ty.
the Turkish power in the peninsula would
receive a deadly thrust, and the Albanian
Mohammedans would rise Sen n1asse
against it. Even if the Macedonian com
mittee were successful as against the
Turkish power Ca rather improbable
event), what would they do with the
three provinces inhabited by such antag-
onistic elements as Greeks, Bulgarians
| Wallachs, Albanians and Moslems? There
would be no harmony certainly. Theil
mutual spites and hatreds would keep the
country in a turmoil and the situation
would probably be worse than It is unde1

At present there is no prospect Of quie
on the Balkan peninsula except thru tn.

REALISTIC DREAMING.

The Rev. DIR. Charles Wood of this city
has a story which he tells ION the excel

A negro had a dream in which he thought
he visited purgatory. He was telling a
friend about it next morning, when the
friend interrupted him, asking:
Was there any niggers there?''
''Yaas sir, there was lots OF then.'' was
the reply.
ANY white men %
.'Yaas. sir, lots OF Them
What were the white men doing?''
Every one of them was holding a

For the four thousand years that we
know Of, and probably for tens of thou
sands of years before that, the world has
been trying to settle its problems by hate,
and it has failed. Where love has been
tried it has been found to be a universal
solvent. It is not tried :oftener because
it is easier to be little than it is to be
broad and universal. Mr.. Washington has
stated a general principle, and made a vail
liable application Of it.

possibility of Grover Cleveland again be-
coming the democratic candidate for the
presidency Cleveland is taking it seri-
ously himself. At st. Louis he showed
more evidences of being living man with
live interests in the affairs of the day
than he has showed for a long time It
is evident that he is beginning to think Of
making another last appearance. What
If he did retire to Princeton, isn't Adelina
Patti, after having made more farewell
tours than any man can recall, about to
make another after a lapse Of ten years?
When the former president got back to
Princeton a reporter had a friendly talk
with him and gave him no less than half
q dozen opportunities to say that, he had
forever put away all thoughts Of more
public life. but not one of the opportunities
was utilized.
4 Cleveland is human, and it would re-
aure superhuman being not to be graf
flied by the talk of great political party
searching out an old man gone into re-
tirement after being cast off by that
party to make him for the fourth time
It's candidate for president of the United
States. And when you recall that that
man has twice been president and has
held before him the distinction that has
belonged to no other president Of being
three times the incumbent Of the greatest
executive office in the world, it is no Won
der that Cleveland refuses to commit him
self or put away the dangerous honor.

sible. The conservative eastern democ-
racy and. the southern hereditary dem
ocracy may unite to nominate him despite
the radical democracy of the west. But
what chance is there of his election?
absolutely none. In New York alone
there are enough radical democrats to
throw the state to Roosevelt, and without
New York Cleveland would not be thought
of. Bryan and his intense followers would
support Roosevelt rather than Cleveland
Cleveland, the very incarnation of old
,n1ossback conservative democracy would
mot have a ghost Of a show to carry a
single western state.
i The talk of nominating Cleveland is the
last effort Of the nloribund element in a
;tional power with nothing but great
name. Traditional democracy is a mere
shell. 1t has no relation to the problems
4 of the day. Political battles will no more
be fought in this country without refer
ence to the great tasks that must be
taken up and performed by this genera,
Ition. If the republican party, under
Roosevelt, boldly tackles the Industrial
problems of the day, as it has begun tt
do, there will be no excuse for the lex
istence of the democratic party exGsp
as a brake. If the republican party fail
to lead the way in taking UP new issue!
and shaping new policies for. the times
some other party will do the work. ant
that may be the opportunity of radica
democracy. With the outlook as it is a
present there is no hope for a democrat,
that is nothing but a name or for the will,
and untamed democracy of the Bryan
kind.

article describing the law which was about
to go into effect for regulating the speed
etc. of automobiles. This would certainly
appear to be the thing that we need in
a city the size of Minneapolis. but ths
thought occurred to me that while it is
very laudable to limit the speed of auto
mobiles to eight miles an hour within the
city limits, how are we going to tell at
what speed the automobile is really trav-
cling. and unless we do SO. how is the
law going to be enforced and the penal
|ty exacted? Unless there is some means
of knowing at what speed an automobile
is actually travelling, do not see how
there is very much use in passing city
ordinances of this kind. Perhaps some Of
your readers can enlighten me on this
point; If SO, / shall be glad to hear from
them thru the columns of your paper.

land with capital of $5O.OO0,O00 to COM
pete with the Standard Oil company out
side Of the United States, the English
market being chiefly in view. This COM;
pany has acquired oil wells in Ohio, In

Crude oil can be moved more cheaply than
refined, and it is calculated that cheap
vantage to the English company in COM
peting with the Standard, which ships only
refined oil and has to employ high priced
American labor. The Standard, accord
ing to the London correspondent OF the
Houston Post, has never built refineries
abroad, because it has looked upon for
eign markets as merly an outlet for the
surplus production.
It has been long time since John d.
Rockefeller has had a chance to test his
steel on a worthy foeman. When an at
tempt is made to shut off the market for
a manufacturers surplus, no matter how
small 1t may be compared with the mail,
volume OF consumption, the prOtectlOn OF
the market for the surplus becomes highly
important. What is to keep the Standard
from carrying crude oil to England and
putting up reflneries there, thus, over
coming the advantages the new English
company is counting on? How long can
this $50, 600 combination stand In a war
of cut rates against company that pays
more than that in dividends yearly? These
Englishmen are either very rash or else
they have assurances from Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter that under certain conditions they will
be left alone. If they haven't had such
assurances, they would do well to read the
history of the Standard Oil company and
learn how it has always accomplished its
purpose.

We are inclined to agree with James Graham Brookes that the real solution of the controversy between labor and capital is to be reached by more thorough organization from top to bottom, as a consequence of which disputes would be at once referred to arbitration committees, not by legal enforcement, but by voluntary agree ment. The Waterbury controversy is peculiarly adapted to measures of ar- lbitration and it is distinct disappoint- ment that it has not been resorted to. We hope yet to hear that the men of influence in that town have been able to persuade both sides to arbitrate like law abiding citizens they have proved themselves to be-
