Lansdowne's Anxiety Justified.

Sofia, May q. - Lord LanSdOwne'S
anxiety about Macedonia is thorough
ly justified. There is great distress
throughout the disturbed vilayets. The
young and strong are emigrating. Five
thousand Cmtgrants have left Monastfr
alone for the United States within
two months. Notwithstanding the sui
taD's amnesty fugitives are afraid to
return to their villages. The Turkish
officials are not inspiring confidence.
Even the most temperate Macedonian
leaders, men who wish to postpone the
rising long enough TO show the world
the hOpclCs>ness of reform under the
sultan. are growing impatient and any
day may determine to appeal to the
sword.

Russia's Desire for Domination.

Diplomatists in Lansdowne's conf
dence know that while he earnestly
desires changes in Macedonia for hu-
manitarian reasons he has been moved
to assume the practical leadership Of
the reform movement from political
cOnsidera tiOnS. He understands the
deep-routed desire of Russia to COMM
ate the Balkans and looks forward 10
japanese triumph in the Far East and
a consequent heavy Russian recCil.
Future Alternative for Europe.
Lord Lansdowne expects that when
peace has been signed and the limits
OF the czariS dominion placed south
of the AmuT, Muscovite imperialistEs
will undertake exploits nearer the base
of the national strength. He thinks
that the Balkan peninsula viii be the
scene of the exploitation of these am
bitiOns and that Europe may be forced
to face a general war or permit the
Russians to occupy COnStantinoplc.
The British foreign secretary is deter
mined to do his utmost to promote a
solution of the Macedonian question
before Russia is prepared to make that
province the ground of an impcrialist
adventure.

w. 81. Howard, of Husband, Pa. "At
times she was unable to move at all,
while at all times walking was pain
full. I presented her with a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after q
few applications she decided it was
the most wonderful pain reliever she
had ever tried, in fact, she is never
without it now and is at all times able
to walk. An occasional application
of Pain Balm keeps away the pain
that she was formerly troubled with.'

METHODS OF CAMPAIGNING.

| For some incomprehensible
reason very few newspapers, and
fewer voters, seem to comprehend
that there is vast difference be-
tween an election campaign and a
pre-convention campaign for NOM
nation. They seem to consider it
just as legitimate to solicit funds
and spend money for the purpose Of
securing the nomination of canei-
dates, as to solicit funds and spend
money after their nomination to
secure their election and a party
victory. They fail to distinguish
that after nomination the individu-
atty of a candidate is merged in
that of his party and it becomes a
struggle for the supremacy of pol
icies, battle of principles and not
purely contest between men. If
a man-believes that the supremacy
of the republican party and the
continuity of its policies is neces-
sary for the welfare and prosperity
of the country, it is natural, right
and proper that he contribute to the
expenses of the election campaign
according to his means.
If there are several candidates be-
fore republican convention it is
to be presumed that whoever is
nominated, he will carry out the
principles and policies of the re-
publican party. If individuals or
interests contribute large sums to
an individual for the purpose of
securing his nomination, they al
ways do it as a matter of invest
ment. They expect to get it back
in the way of favors, and a man
who accepts and uses such contri-
buttons to secure a nomination
simply sells that much of the peo-
ple's interests. There is but one
dignified and honorable way to con-
duct pre-convention campaign and
that is for a candidate to frankly
and publicly state his views on all
questions, state and national, and
only spend money enough to get
his views before the voters and
leave the results with them. Any
lavish expenditures or undue efforts
on the part of candidate to secure
a nomination is virtually a confess
sion that if the people were left to
follow. their own judgment they
would not select him for a candi-
date.

An Open Letter.

From the Chaplin, S. G.. News.
Early in the spring my wife and !
were taken with diarrhoea and so Sc
we're were the pains that we called a
physician who prescribed for us, but
his medicines failed to give any re-
lief. A friend who had a bottle OF
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave
each of us dose and we at once felt
the effects. I procured a bottle apd
before using the entire contents we
were entirely cured. It is wonderful
remedy and should be found in every
household. II. c. Bailey, Editor.

WHAT INTERESTS ARE BACK OF
THE CANDlDATES7

There is great deal of assertion,
elimination and recrimination in.
dulged in by the newspaper parti.
sans of the different candidates for
governors as to what interests are
backing the different men and what
interests will be favored in case
certain men are elected. They
might just as well leave the space
SO occupied blank, it would save
brain tissue and leave a better feel
ing all around. This is a question
that every sensible voter can and
will determine for himself. When
"a great corporation of any kind,
whose members and those interested
in 1t embrace men of every politi-
cal faith and residing in every part
of the state, with practical unan-
unity, support a candidate with
voice, vote and funds, there is not
man in the state but knows that
the reason of such action is because
the parties composing such cor
poration believe that in the event
of that candidates success the cor
poration will be favored by him,
and every one knows that they
would not think so unless they had
some assurance from some source
that such would be the case.
Dull, indeed, must be the intel
lect of that voter, who, when he
finds an appointive officer Wig
orously supporting a candidate,
often times to the neglect of his
official duty, that does not know
that such official will be retained in
his position in case of that candi-
dates success. An editor must
have poor opinion of the intelli-
gence of Minnesota voters if they
think they cannot determine for
themselves forces and interests are
back of the different candidates.

CHEESE IN WISCONSIN.
In spite OF Seventeen Hundred Fas-

Production.

You might as we'll look for an over
production Of children as an over-pro-
duction Of cheese" said u. S. Baer. sec
retary of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers
association, at the Republican house,
to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter.
The fact that we have upward of ZOO
cheese factories in Wisconsin has raised
the cry that the business is being over
done. The people of this country have
not yet learned to eat cheese but they
ire coming to 1t. Let me tell you, the
consumption per capita In England is
nearly 13 pounds year, while in Wis
consin 1t is only about three pounds a
year to each person. We are above the
average of the states in the consumption
of cheese, notwithstanding we are so
far behind the Englishmen in this re-
spect. There were produced In Wiscon-
sin during the past year 90,00O 900
pounds of cheese. which is more than q
quarter Of the whole amount produced
In the United States. The average price
has been ten cents pound, so that you
can see. with possibly the exception of
butter, the making of cheese is the first
single farm Industry in the state There
is no Wisconsin cheese being exported,
for the simple reason that the domestic
demand takes all the supply"

spells OK, Polly?" "Seed his tall" re-
