MODERN MACEDONIA
Where the Revolutionary Spirit Reigns That May
Throw Europe Into a Terrible War

We hear much in these days about
Macedonia and the Macedonians, but
investigation through the medium of
the average cyclopedia tells us little
about either the country or people
that is at all up to date. The fact is
that, strictly speaking, there is now
no Macedonia. The maps show, us
Bulgaria, Roumelia, Servia, Monte
negro and Turkey, but no Macedonia.
Turkey is divided into provinces Cor
"eyalets," as they are called, but
there is no Macedonia among them.
Speaking, ~however,~in the popular
Sahse, there is a Macedonia, and the
section of the world so referred to is
a rather vaguely defined region di-
ectly north of Greece and of the
h4Ille... On the north it touches
Servia, Bulgaria and Roumelia. This
corner of the world is Macedonia to-
day because in those remote, ro-
mantle times of which we once stu
died in our school books under the
head of "ancient history it wa
Macedonia. The country that gave

and horses; men and women engaged
in winnowing or piling the straw into
STACKS" In spite of great industry
and energy, however, the peasants
are slow to adopt modern methods,
preferring the primitive ways of
their ancestors.
Macedonia, in common with other
parts of the Turks dominions, sees
much crime. : Here is an instance: A
young Bulgarian was sitting one
Sunday afternoon near a fountain.
Four Turks made their way through
the throng and without a word of
warning each drew a pistol and sim
ultancously discharged the contents
into the body OF the lounger. The
four assassins then retreated with
great deliberation and no one in the
crowd made any attempt to stop
them. Red tape prevented Turkish
otiicialidom from ever experimenting
the m%urderers. When it is not out
rage upon the part of the soldiers it
is gross carelessness and apathy on
the part of officials. Promises of re-
form have been repeatedly made and
as often broken. 1t may now be that
the powers will enforce reform by
the drastic measures of granting in
dependence or possibly annexing
Macedonia to one or other of the Bal
kan states.

cient and fishlike smell. 1t has been
served up to the people before, and
they do not relish a second dose of it.
The issue proposed by Mr.. Livingston
is scarcely more acceptable than the
rotten money and free riot programme
which Mr.. Bryan keeps in cold stor-
age and is preparing to spring anew
on his party next year. The repub-
lican party could ask for nothing bet
ter than this. 1t would be easy to
cite the painful experiences when
democracy was in full swing at Wash
ington as all-sufficient proof that the
Livingston cure would be far worse
than the disease. The people of the
United States have not yet forgotten
that a surplus, with good times, is a

treasury deficits and commercial pros
tration. Let Mr.. Livingston and his
party raise the issue if they wish.

erehip and Policy" Says a
Party Organ.

How much has the attitude of the
minority done to %reestablish the dem
cratic party in the confidence of the
country?
Very little, it must be admitted, says
the New York World (dem.). The
party in congress has lacked both lead
ership and a policy. In both houses
the democrats voted almost unani-
mously for the Littlefield anti-trust
bill, which, whatever it's good provi-
%sions, was assuredly the most cen
Trailing measure and the most abso-
lutely destructive of the traditional
democratic doctrine of state rights of
any ever introduced in congress with
q serious purpose of passing it.
In addition to this it was a demo-
cratic Standardization, of Colorado
who opposed and helped to defeat
the Philippine tariff relief bill on the
express ground that it might hurt the
i%ncubated infant sugar-beet industry
of his state!
Worse still, the democratic senator's
helped to block the ratification of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty-a democrat
ic measure so far as it goes, if justice
and decency and fair trade are demo-
cratic-for no other apparent purpose
than to play politics."
And it was a democratic senator who
by insensate filibustering against the
Panama treaty delayed the beginning
of a great work which the country with
practical unanimity demands and

WELCOME THE ISSUE.
Democrat Proposes One That Would
Suit the Republicans Down

Representative Livingston, Of Geor-

of the house committee on appropri-
ations, is preparing to issue a state

agance and urging the necessity of
cutting down the Is that to
be one of the democratic battle cries
for the next presidential and congress
sional campaign? If so, the republic
an party has nothing to fear, says the
Troy Times. The democratic party
once succeeded in getting into power
at Washington by ringing the changes
on the danger of a surplus and the
advisability of reducing the tariff and
cutting down the revenue. And every
body knows what happened to the tar
iff, the revenue and the surplus. Some
of the history of that period is con-
tinued in the official record which tells
of the issue of bonds to keep up the
gold reserve and pay running ex-
penses. But the larger and more i'm
pressive part of the story is indelibly
impressed on the minds of those who

Rules for Whist in Rhymes.

An oddity in the book line is 'Rhym-

Val, issued by the Pafrates Publishing
company. Mr.. Du Val begins his vel
ume with a rhymed apology:
Oh, Music, forgive me,
Critics all-desist,
My Rhymes, though bad,
P%erchance may teach you Whist.
Like all rhymed rules that survive,
Mr.. Du Walls are easily memorized, and
they state the facts clearly, as for in

If of trumps you stand in need.

The literature of bridge, which has
grown to not unimportant proportions
since the beginning of the vogue of the
game, has been largely published in

Still further to illustrate their par
tisanship and theirindifference to prin-
ciple and to the public needs, a coterie
of democratic senators prevented the

to the omnibus statehood bill-of a
conservative Measure to avoid a con-
g%estion of currency in the treasury
and to secure interest upon govern
nent deposits.

voted as greedily as republicans for

that went to swell the total appropria-
tions to the highest sum ever reached,

against Blaine and Cleveland. No
matter how others may look upon
her campaign, to Mrs. Lockwood it
was not a joke. She was fighting for
a principle, and firmly believes that
the cause of woman's suffrage was
advanced by that campaign.
1t is a fact that is generally for
gotten that Mrs. Lockwood received
the entire electoral vote of Indiana,
though they were never counted for
her. The electoral college of that
afterward changed it's mind and cast
the entire vote for Mrs. Lockwood.
The suffrage candidate petitioned
congress to have these votes counted
for her, but the petition went the
way of many others-into a commit
tee pigeon hole. She also received
one-half the electoral vote of Ore
gon, though a. suffrage ticket was
not in the field in either state. Gal
lantry, or the humor of the situation,
| were the cause of the votes cast for
her. In the states in which Il suf-

in prosperity and progress, and is the
