bringing the agents of the powers to
act with unanimity or even in good
faith
However, at least. the Muerzsteg pro-
gram created two organs Of control,
or buffers between the Turkish au-
thorities and the Christian peasants
of Macedonia. Two civil agents, one
Mons. Demerik, a Russian, and the
other Herr Won Muller, an Austrian,
were authorized to and expected to
control the action of the Turkish au-
thorities. They were expected to
shadow the inspector general. to indi-
cate to him the reforms which they
thought would prove helpful, and to
listen attentively to the complaints
of the Christian inhabitants. They
were ordered and authorized to inves-
rigate all complaints that were
brought to their attention, but unfor-
tunately the investigation had always
to be held in the presence of Turk
ish functionary-in other words under
circumstances where no Christian
peasant, after 600 years of Turkish su-
premacy. would dare to tell the truth.
Something more than moral support
was required to make the slave of CEN
turtles stand up and defend himself.
IN addition to the restraint Of the
civil agents, there were appointed a

AS THEY SAY IN BOSTON.
Old Sayings Clothed in the Language
of the Modern Athens.

Ancient history tells of Boston

speak of her dogs trousers" not his

record of a school miss whose verbal
nicely brought forth the proverb: I'm
part to your grand-maternal relative
elementary instruction in the art of
extracting nutriment from the oviary
deposit Of the common or garden
fowl" But both of these more or less
historic instances are far outdone
(even assuming their genuineness) by
the latest bit of literary intelligence
from the Massachusetts metropolis,
which gravely announces that "a SIM
pie paraphrase" of the good old Gin
a body meet a body" runs thusly:
Assuming the contingency Of one in
dividual encountering another of the
opposite sex, in the act Of traversing

Marquis OF Argenson, Louis XV.'s
great minister, wrote: "The first
great change that will take place in
Europe will probably be the conquest
Of Turkey. This empire grows weak
er because Of it's bad government, and
because it is impossible that this gov
eminent should become better, and
quite sure that it will grow worse.
They are rising in the Ottoman en-
pire. Every day feather falls from
the wings of the Turkish eagle"
So it seemed to this far-sighted man
several centuries ago, but to-day there
is only one fact Of the Balkan situa-
ton upon which all sane westerners
agree, and that is the growing
strength of the Turkish military re-
sources. writes Stephen Bonsal in the
Philadelphia Ledger. That is formid-
able body of trained and fanatical
men, some 100000 strong, that tram

in Macedonia for the good of the
Christian inhabitants of the province.
A foreign general officer has been
in charge of the Macedonian
gendarmerie with other foreign Off
GERS under him, but supreme control
has remained in the hands of Turkish
officials. AS long as that is the case
real reform is out of the question.
The British government, recogniz-
ing that, raises the question whether
the time has not come for the appoint
ment of a Christian governor for
Macedonia The sultan may be ex.
pected to resist such an appointment.
for he would see in it the prelude to
the loss of the province. Turkish his.
tory has taught him that.
The secretary for foreign affairs
says the concert of powers must either
justify or stultify itself. That is, it
must either demand further conces-
sions of Turkey or split up. If it shall
do the latter, then Turkey will be OBJ.
durate and the peace of Europe may
be imperiled once more. Whether
any power is prepared to side with
Turkey and block reform in Mace.
donia remains to be seen. There he re
been rumors that one or another
power would do this, but as yet moth.
ing is certain.

c forms are still observed, recall the
wOrdy wars of railway kings. The al
lance or entente between the powers
which was TO press reforms upon the
porte that would make it possible for
the Christian subjects of the porte
to live in peace and vet live Christian
lives, has been disrupted by the greed
Of gain and the thirst for political adj
vantage experienced by the powers,
which have in the last decade plumed
themselves upon exercising mandate
in Macedonia which they had received
from outraged humanity.
1t is a pitiful end of the reform
decade, and the best that can be said
Of the situation is that to-day the
Christian peasants are not much worse
of than they were before, and that
those who have survived their hard
than they We're when they began their
political schooling under such august
patronage. Taking the optimistic
view, the Turkish soldier is not al
ways a brute and the Turkish effendi
not always thief. Looking backward
now, the more than decimated peas
antry OF the Macedonian highlands
doubtless recall the pleasant days of
before the uprising, the days when
they had not heard of a Pan-Slav or a
Pan-Hellenic propaganda. when they
didn't know whether they were Servi-
ans. Roumanians, BuIgarians or
Greeks. and didn't much care
The Railway Row.
The railway row is clearly a pretext
for and not the cause Of the split in
the joint Macedonian policy of Russia
and Austria. Russia has not even the
remotest intention of building a rail
way from the Danube to the Adriatic,
and if she had the intention, she has
not the money. This road would cost
millions, and goes through a difficult
and what railway men call a very
lean" country. 1t would never pay;
that is, not within the ken of the
present generation, and could only
serve political purpose which Russia
viii be unable to pursue for many
years to come.

insurance Companies PAY Taxes.

Insurance Companies Pay Taxes.
The treasurer of the state of Wis
consin has just received two checks,
one for $10,230.71, and the other for
365,303.61. The first was to pay the
annual tax of the New York Life In
surance company. The second the
taxes Of the Northwest Mutual COM
pany of Milwaukee. The Northwest
ern pays just about $1,000 each day of
the year, Sundays and holidays in
cluded, for the privilege Of doing bust
ness i'll the state. Taxes for 1907 were
nearly 100000 higher than those for
1906. The tax paid by the New York
Life Insurance company is 1882 less
than the amount paid last year. Most
ST the life insurance companies, which
left the state, are making further in
quiries about the laws, and it seems
to be the belief in some quarters that
some of the companies may re.
turn again to do business in this
state.

Iarse number Of foreign officers TO
serve with the Turkish constabuiary.
An italian general was placed In COM
mand of the constabulary reorganiza-
ton scheme, and to him were attached
many of the foreign officers. The
scheme proved Intellectual from the
beginning. Instead of commanding the
gendarmerie in the field, the sultan
held, and imposed his view upon the
powers, that the foreign officers were
merely to act as instructors in schools
for aspirant conStables. Six months,
a delay of tragic Importance to the
hunted Christian peasantry of the
Macedonian highlands, was spent in
discussing the question whether the
European officers should wear Chris
tan caps or the Turkish feZ.
In the meanwhile the willy sultan
was more than friendly. Those of the
foreign officers who could be reached
in that way were loaded with rich
presents. Some of these presents
were undeniably Of kind that could
be easily converted into cash. Others
were given brilliant decorations and
honeyed speeches. It was quite no.
ticeable that many of the foreign Off
GERS soon began to exhibit very little
interest in the people whom they
were sent to protect. "a vermin-
stricken, NANCY lot" is the way one
of the officers was reported to have
described the Christian peasants at
1I,O ,r&Ix
afterward his wife appeared with di-
almond tiara, which Pera gossips
averred she had never been seen to
wear before.
AS it has we'll been said, every one
of the powers wishes to modify the
present situation, but, unhappily, it
would appear that each one wished
to modify it for its personal advan-
tage, and, alas, profit. In a word the
news from Macedonia is that the
champions of Christendom have come
to blows, not with the assassins of the
sultan, who are seeking to destroy the
remnants of the congregation that st.
Paul loved, but among themselves
over a sordid question of political loot.
Worlds Peace ImperiIed.
However, the statements made in
the British parliament recently by
government officials in regard to the
Macedonian question go to show that
there was something in the reports
telegraphed some days ago about the
possible disruption of the concert of
the European powers and subsequent
trouble in the near east. The secre-
tary for foreign affairs said emphat-
ically that if Macedonia continued to
be neglected catastrophe would
follow.
It is, indeed, time that effective re-
form measures should be put in force

BALKAN CRISIS
PROVOKED BY
POWERS GREED
Alliance to Press Reforms Upon the Porte Crippled
by Inability of Christian Governments to Agree
Quarrel Among Themselves Over Loot and
Self-Interest-Peace of the World Imperiled.

On the other hand, Austria has the
right to build her railway, or rather
the gaps in the present system. 1t is
a right that was granted by an article
of the Berlin treaty, and it has not
lapsed simply because the Austrian
government has allowed the matter
to lie in allegiance for SO many years.
The other rumored Austrian project of
building a road from her Bosnian
Herzegovina system to the Adriatic,
and then down the coast to Montene-
gro, and ultimately to Greece, is a
sound idea, and one that would pay
for itself handsomely, at least so far
as Cattaro, and probably there is no
idea of pushing the road much fur
Their in the immediate future.
Ready for Roads.
Under the fostering care of Herr
Won Kallay, the provinces of Bosnia,
of Herzegovina, and in a measure, too,
Dalmatia have fiourished under Aus
trian rule and development. They are
ready for railways, and many more Of
them. Ten years ago the complaint of
little Servia and the veto of Russia
would, of course, have brought these
projects to an untimely end, but to-
day the balance of power in the near
east has changed as greatly as it has
in the far east, and the protests are
more likely to fall to the ground than
are the projected railways.

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE.
wife Found Dainty Handkerchiefs a
Thing of the Past.

You can't always tell what sort of
a husband a man will make by the
presents he sends a girl while he is
counting her.
Here is a story that will point this
moral:
A certain very charming lady who
has a family of nearly grown children
tells a funny tale of the difference
a year OF married life, with its prac-
teal demands, will make in a mans
way of looking at things. Before they
were married her husband had a
great penchant for pretty handker-
chiefs; any bit of dainty embroidery
or lace would appeal to him as ex-
actly the right thing to present to his
dainty inamorata. At one time he
gave her two beauties, costing him
five dollars apiece; another time she
received three at the same price.
Then half a dozen for which he paid
SIS. She had visions of her Romeo
spending his future contributing the
dainties of life to her.

Then they were married.

About year after she had accepted
the steady job of Frightening his home
for him, the dainty handkerchiefs hav-
ing gone the way of all perishable
things. she found it necessary to lay
in new supply.

Will did happen to be near the
shopping district, and late that after
noon the delivery wagon of one of the
real "bargainy' stores stopped at her
door.
