Sultan will carry his soldiers. The pro-
posal for Joint Turoo-Bulgarian Com
mission to regulate the administration OF
Macedonia, said to be under considera-
ton, need not be treated seriously. IL
it has been put forward, as stated in
the dispatches, it is merely with the
object of gaining time.
A good deal will depend on the ability
Of the revolutionary leaders in Mace
donna and in the Adrianople district to
keep the field. A few thousand resolute
men in the Grammas range, south and
west of Monastir, and among the spurs
of the Perrin mountains, northeast Of
Salonica, could keep large bodies Of
Turkish troops well occupied for some
weeks to come.

those who come from the southern hall OF
Italy, are hot headed. Blood boils in their

the Italian alone and he will not be hot-headed;
abuse and maltreat him. and he will become
hot-hesded.

VIII There BE War in the Balkans i?

The next few days will probably de-
eide the question of peace or war in the
Balkans. The Bulgarian forces actually
under arms are insufficient to guard the
long and broken line Of frontier and to
prevent the passage of small bands into
Turkish territory. The Turkish Govern
ment will be anxious to bring matters to
q conclusion before the approach Of win
ter prevents It's poorly fed and i'll clad
army from keeping the field.
The statements of the German and
Austrian Governments leave nothing to
be desired in the way of frankness: they
will do nothing for humanity's sake. The
Sultan, therefore, need not hesitate TO
put down both Macedonians and Bull
garians by any method justifabe in war.
He may even, IA Germany points out
send his tro ops into Bulgaria, which is
only vassal State. Resistance on the
part of the Bulgarians will be an act Of

The New Opportunity OF the Irish
NatiOnalists.

Twice in the last twenty years the Irish
Natonalists have held the balance Of
power in the House of Commons, so that
neither of the great political parties in
Great Britain could take Office without
their support. This was true of the stu
alton which confronted Mr.. GLADSTONE
when he succeeded Lord SALISBURY
early in 1886 and 1t is well known that,
recognizing that the aid Of the Irish
Nationaists would he Indispensable, he
decided TO adopt Home Rule pro-
gramme. II WAS true, also, Of the out
come of the general election which took
place in 1892, when II was only through
the cooperation OF the Irish NatloHaIlsts
that Mr. GLADSTONE was able to secure

II Has Got to BE Low.
From THE EVENING SUN Of Yesterday,

Mr.. FULTON, the respectable and exper-
fenced secretary of the Citizens Union
writes to District Attorney JEROME:
Some OF the most determined opponents OF
Lows nomination arc our best district chairmen
generally, and machine Republicans In Tammany
Districts but men who accomplished splendid
results in 1901. men who know their districts and
who constantly return With the reports that the
people will not take Low. The 80 called logical
argument makes these men tired They say
rightly. To my mind. Is II logical to nominate
man whom We cannot elect'"
Mr.. FULTON again writes to Mr..
JEROME:
low has not yet decided 10 take the nomination.
A little more pounding and he will quit. The only
way the Cts Union could leave him now would be
by his withdrawal ! cannot write details, but
the srea, majority Of men a. meet them say Low
cannot be elected and report dlsanection among
the working folk. l am well informed that police.
men and iremen are collectively against Low. but
can be brought to support another candidate
And Mr.. JEROME says on behalf Of
himself:
IL stand to-day apparently a discredited man
In our community. The public press Is almost a
unit In Its condemnation, and yet there Is believe
not a newspaper In the city OF New York whose
reporters on political assignments have not
ported to their desks tina. ticket with Mr.. Low
at It's head must lose By q plurality estimated At
from 10000, 10 5000"
Thus the uncomfortable truth gets to
the surface at last Every one of the
foregoing statements is correct. with the
exception of Mr.. JERoME's observation
touching his personal discredit in the
community.
What is the comm on sense Of the situa-
ton? 1t is that Mr.. Low was his own
choice; that Mr.. CUTTING and the rank
and file Of the Citizens Union and its
adherents didn't want Mr.. Low, but that
they had to take him. Mr.. Low himself
alone could free them from the absolute
necessity Of nominating Mr.. Low, and
that Mr.. Low did not do. Mr. Low felt
that no was called upon to make q great
personal sacrifice, and he was, as he al
ways has been, equal to tho occasion.
Mr.. JACOB SCHIFF has Illuminated this
unfortunate situation with his wisdom.
Better, he says, defeat with Low than
that worthy principle should perish.
Mr.. ScHIFP is probably right.
Mr. TIMOTHY WOODRUFF, as a Repub-
lican statesman, says that it matters lit
tie il Mr.. Low is defeated, because if
Tammany comes into power it will make
such q hideous record inside OF a year
that the city will certainly go Republican
like an avalanche in the campaign of
1904
There is only one thing to be done, and
that Is to accept Mr. Low because he
has got to be accepted, and then see that
every sane and decent man in the COM
munity votes for him. Mr.. Low should
be elected on the consequences of his
defeat, pretty good platform and one
which we venture to think Mr.. SCHIFF
would not be unwilling to substitute for
his own.

Mr.. DiIl's Discoveries in Belchertown.

Mr.. JAMES B. DILL, lawyer of New
York and New Jersey, spent his vaca-
ton this summer in an automobile, ex-
ploring part of the New England States.
The trip through a country rich in scenic
beauties and historical associations must
have been delightful, refreshing Mr.
DILL physically and broadening his
mental horizon Since his return to his
home, however, he has been unloading
some remarkable information in regard
to his adventures in rural New England.
Here is a sample of the impression made
on an eminent New York jurisconsult
by small Massachusetts town:
In ono old town. Belchertown. Mass, said MI
Dill. q man 90 years old told us that there were
no young people In the place. they having married
and gone away leaving the old folks and unmarried
women. The roads are unknown even " the ma
avcs The only Information you get Is; This
road leads to Farmer So-AND-So's. and he'll tell
you who lives beyond"
We wish we could have heard the
conversation between Mr.. DILL and
this sprightly Belchertown humorist.
1t is easy to picture the automobile
painting in the highway, while the sage
Of the village offended by its modernness
and the city airs" of its driver, pleads
ignorance Of the roads and byways OF
his native town, over which he has herded
the cows and driven the horse Cor al
most century.
What familiar plant the story Of
the young folks is! Married and moved
away, says the Oldest Inhabitant. Had
Mr. DILL inquired as to the old days, he
would have learned that the women were
more beautiful and thrifty, the crops
more abundant, and the Interruptions
of meditation by inquisitive strangers
driving white devil machines less fire.
quent in 1853 than they are now
Belchertown is ten miles by rail south
east of Amherst, and eighteen miles
northeast of Springfield. 1t has three
churches and high school. In 1890
its population was 2,l20. In 1900 it had
a population Of 1892.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. DILL en-
joyed his automobile trip. II is certain
that at least one benighted citizen Of
Belchertown, Hampshire county. Massa-
chusetts, extracted certain amount OF
quiet pleasure from it.
