Before your spicy shrine, and feel

And floods my spirit with a music

the TllIman disclosures did not result from any
spying on the part Of the Secret Service bu-

THE REBUILDING OF MEssIHA.

MeSsira will be rebuilt That course, which
we regarded the other day as altogether proba-
BILE seems now TO be fully determined upon Dy
the Italian government. The announcement ex-
cites and should excite, surprise, or even re-
nonstrance. For a generation we have had a
familiar boast of the enterprise of Chicago mer-
chants at the time of the great fire in that city
in announcing the rebuilding of their establish
ments and the resumption of business before the
ashes Of their burned buildings had grown cold
But he would he greatly mistaken who should
arrogSte to Chicago or TO America a monopoly of
enterprise should underrate the irrepressl5le
vitality and the untiring energy Of the Italian
race Those who as immigrants are complained
of for being more industrious and thrifty than
their American competitors. and for thus cut
doing the latter on their own ground, are not
likely to be lacking in enterprise at home.
i There would be neither precedent nor adequate
cause for failing to rebuild Messina. The his
tory of the world tells of the destruction of
many cities but not Of the abandonment of their
sites unless through the operation of causes be-
yond control they became uninhabitable Pom
peii and Hercula neum not rebuilt. it is true,
because they were not merely destroyed but
buried but the immediate vicinity of them was
promptly reoccupied. Carthage was repeatedly
destroyed and rebuilt. and it was finally aban-
doned only when processes of nature had dried

anna was abandoned, but 1t had not been long
established and the new site, near at hand was
recognized ncomparably superior to the old
None of these causes for desertion appears to
apply to Messina. The ruined city has not been
buried deep in lava or ashes The Ileighboring
and tributary region is fertile and as in
vitingy habtable ever. The situation is uf-
rivalled by any other on all the great island of
which it has long been the commercial capital
for purposes Of residence industry and trade.
As for memories of last years horror or fears of
its repetition, they not likely to deter either
visitors or permanent settlers from focking
thlther. The place had suffered much before
from similar disasters, and it may suffer thus
again. but the intervals between catastropbes
have been considerable, and it will not be un-
reasonable rash to argue that it maybe
many years before another such calamity over
wheIms It.

AN U1cLEAy AND DANGEROUS HABIT

AN UNCLEAN AND DANGEROUS HABIT.
Across the river in New Jersey a wealthy
business has had himself sworn IN as
special officer to enforce the law against spit
ting in streetcars. He has found that anti-spit-
ting ordinances do not enforce themselves, and
that large number Of men can look the sign
in the front of the streetcar. in the eye without
finching while violating an ordinance which has
a good sized penalty attached to it in case of
conviction.
A Brooklyn man who has occasion to use the
elevated cars about midnight complains that
the same carelessness is shown this side of
the Hudson River. The sign Is there, warning
all and sundry Of the dire consequences TO fol-
low splitting and while this unqueStionably has
its effect, the nuisance is by no means suf-
ficiently abated. A few nights ago he walked
through the cars in the hope of finding a seat
where he might sit without violating his per
haps too aesthetic sensibilities, but in vain. He
was compelled to take the least obnoxious place.
No car attendant has ever been known to take
any interest In this matter, and among violators
of the rule are frequently numbered the police
men who ought to be expected to assist in
the enforcement of law.
An exhibit is now being conducted In this city
with the definite purpose of disseminating III
formation as to the methods of preventing the
spread of tuberculosis. At that exhibit par
ticuIar attention is paid TO the danger from
careless splitting. In the streetcars we have
signs put up by local anti tuberculosis society
advising all who ride in cars not to communi-
cate tuberculosis 10 others or permit them to
be the agents OF spreading the disease through
this means Yet men who would be insulted II
assured that they were not gentlemen
guilty of this practice which is not only un-
necessary <and disgusting but fraught with
grave danger to the community. A few public
spirited men like the one who has taken up the
fight for health and cleanliness in New Jersey
would add much to the satisfaction of the
women and well bred men who ride in our cars.

THE POWERS AND TURKEY.

When soon after the Turkish revolution and
the proclamation Of the Turkish constitution,
Austria Hungary arbitrarily seized and annexed
the Turkish provinces of Bosnia and Herzego-
yina. the opinion was expressed IN these columns
that there was a close relationship between the
two incidents. and that Austria Hungary had
thus spoliated the ottoman Empire either in
order to throw the latter into confusion and TO
defeat it's reforms and rehabilitation or else In
order to secure for herself the coveted territory
before regenerated Turkey should become
strong enough to make such proceeding per
ious to the doer of 1t. That explanation of the
case. which was not made without authority
has been abundantly verified by subsequent do
ings and revelations, and there is now added or
prefixed TO it a very substantial complement
which makes of the whole story Of the most
interesting and thoroughly characteristic pas
sages in the much-tanged record of the Balkan
Peninsula
In the early part of last year. it is said, the
final partition of the Turkish Empire in Europe,
with a radical remaking of the map Of that con-
tinent Was contemplated. The "entral feature
of the plan a secret treaty between France
and Austria Hungary, which was TO become ef
fective upon the death Of Francis Joseph and
the accession of Francis Ferdinand-the latter
prince and his loyal adherent Baron Aehrenthal
being the prime movers in it-and under the
France in her designs in Morocco and In return
France was to support ustriaHungary in her
seizure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and her fur
ether march to SaloniCa. Nor were the other
nowers forgotten. Great Britain, Italy and Rus
sia were all to share in the proceeds of Turkish
liquidation. Germany alone was left out, per-
haps because of the immense concessions which
she has already secured in Asaic Turkey. The
ostensible pretext for this radical action was of
course the failure or inability of the Turkish
government to effect satisfactory reforms, and
the unwillingness If the powers longer to toll

government
