Whenever these references to the

FROM red upon the railroad Is
RAILROADS greater than the bene-
fit received by the pres
ident who travels free. in the case OF
short and unimportant trip. it follows
naturally that in the case of such a
tour as President Roosevelt recently
made he would be under no conceiv-
able obligation in accepting the pest
the carrying companies choose to Oh
fer. saws the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
The statement is made, repeated
and not denied that the railroad COM
pany on whose special train the presl-
dent left Washington for his recent
proeress over the country paid all
the expenses Of that tour, including
the lavish entertainment of all the
to the finish. A "friend OF the presl-
dent" in statement given to the New
York Tribune, very uuthfully argues
that "Mr. Roosevelt realizes that IN
such a trip a president could scarcely
be expected to defray the cost of
special train out of his private purse.
Estimates of the cost of the trans
continental tour average quarter of
a million dollars) The implication is
not that Mr.. Roosevelt should not
travel with SO large an encourage II
he cannot afford it, but that since the
railroads can afford it they should be
allowed the pleasure of paying for
him. This happy conclusion does not,
however, take account of certain
Dreiudices entertained no doubt un
reasonably, by the American people.
They are disinclined to see their preSl-
dent engaged in advertising a rail
road. A recent amba bassador at Wash
ington was recalled because he was
exposed touting for a certain brand OF
champagne. The avocation is not an
exalted one.
The people are so sensitive concern
ing the presidential dignity that they
are inclined to believe it should be
held above the suspicion, even of obi
CATION to a railroad corporation. Mr..
Roosevelt's integrity is such that it is
quite possible mat. should occasion
arise. he might be led to oppose rath-
er than favor a corporation by the
recollection that he had accepted it's
lavish hospitality. But can the same
be said of all minor officials W..o will |
be encouraged by the presidents eX- |
ample in accepting. and even solicit |
ing favors from the corporations?

ON VERGE OF WAR.
A Less Hopeful Tone Prevails at
 Sofa.

A Less Hopeful Tone Prevails at Sofa.
 SOFIA, Bulga.l,.. sept 24.-A less hopeful feeling prevails in government
 circles regarding the general situation, although no actual change is reported. l The events of the next two days are
 awaited with great anxiety, and popu-
 Jar feeling is becoming more excited. A largely attended meeting of Mace
 donian synpathizers was held at Rust
 chuk, Bulgaria, Sept. 2 and adopted
 resolutions appealing to the Bulgarian l government to declare war on Turkey 1 immediately.
 In revolutionary circles war is be- l heved to be imminent unless Turkey
 stops massacreing the Christians, of
 which there are no signs at present
 pr. Christo Tatartcheff, president, of
 the Macedonian organization, says that l the insurgent committees attach no i'm portance to the reported negotiations
 between Turkey and Bulgaria because 1 similar propositions were discussed in l 1897 and later in 1899 and 1900. The porte, added Dr. Tatartcheff, only en-
 tered into the conference in order to gain time to finish the exterminat ton l of what 1t regards as the dangerous
 clements in Macedonia, have the troops l now at Monastir free to move against Bulgaria and bring more soldiers from Asia.
 While the sultan's government is dis
 cussing propositions for reform in Macedonia the troops continue to mas l sacre the Christians and devastate the country. Referring to the details of
 the !, opposed arrangement, Dr. Tatart- l chef said there was no guarantee even l if the commission was appointed that l 1t would ever be more than ornamental
 The present village commissions in Macedonia have Bulgarian members, 1 but they are always favorable to the 1 Turks. The president of the Macedo- l nian organizations concluded by de- 1 clarfng that the insurgents would be l satisfied with nothing short of inter-
 vention by the powers.
 Special significance attaches to the l Macedonian meeting at Rustchuk be l cause the resolutions adopted are the I first open expression of such an em- I phatic character in favor of war com
 ing from any popular meeting in Bull l garia. Rustchuk is the chief conner
 cial town in the country. Resolutions
 were also passed thanking the pope,
 the English bishops, the trades union
 congress and the British and American l press for their expressions of sympa-
 thy with the Macedonian cause. l Fighting is reported to have taken
 place near Kotchani, on the frontier, in 1 which the Turks lost fifty men killed
 and the insurgents suffered a loss of
 ten. A panic prevails at Kotchani, and l all business and work is at standstill. l A number of reports of other minor en7 counters and more atrocities by the 1 Turks continue to come in.

 To the Voters of the Fifth Ward:
 We, the undersigned, have been nominated for aldermen on the regular democratic ticket and wish to publicly suate our position to the voters of the old reliable fifth ward. Our ticket is strictly a workingnan's ticket. The aldermanic nominees all work for their daily bread. For this they nat u'ally have the interests of this sec tion of the city foremost in mind.
