THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

Although the war between Tur.
; key and Italy continues to drag
along without important or de-
cisive results, there are not want
ing indications that both the
belligerents would welcome an
early termination of the hostili-
ties. The settlement Of peace
terms, however, presents more
formidable complications of the
war, hence the absence of any at
tempt at rendering good Offices to
bring about a settlement and the
many intrigues and negotiations
which are in progress.
1t is certain that the settlement
between Turkey and Italy must
bring about a radical rearrange-
ment of conditions in the Medi.
terranean. Italy will insist not
only upon retaining Tripoli, but
will probably demand the posses.
sion Of some Of the Turkish is.
lands which her ships have cap
tured in the eastern end of the
great inclosed sea. If Italy's pos
session of these islands means the
strengthening of the control Of
the Triple Alliance Of Germany,
Austria and Italy in the Mediter-
ranean, the existing balance of
power in that part Of the world
will be destroyed. Great Britain,
in order to cope with the constant
growth of the German feet, has
! been compelled to seriously d.
minish the strength Of her Med,-
terranean flotilla, leaving to
France the duty Of properly polic-
ing the south of Europe. France
can clearly not look after the
Mediterranean unless she is as
sured Of the protection Of her
eastern frontier by an under
standing with Russia. There
would therefore seem to be
strong probability that the exist
ing Triple Alliance Of Central
Europe will find itself opposed by
new Triple Alliance consisting
Of Rurria, France and Great Bri-
tain.
It is a rather significant fact
that the French premier is now
on a visit to st. Petersburg, os-

HOW SHEEP PAY.

Twelve years past, we pur
chased some land that had been
cleared for perhaps Is years, and,
being hilly, had been worn-out
and abandoned. We paid Sc per
acre for It. We have brought this
land up Mapning sheep anc(
goats on - past year
some Of fllI1 ~ more
than one bale o. -,
and rs bushels of corr
and we have recently sold =
Of the land for $50 per acre. ThiB'
included the roughest and most
worn part Of the land, and the
sheep and goat manure 10 to be
credited altogether for the pro-
ductive power Of this land and
hence largely for it's increased
value.
Il is surprisingly strange that
farmers do not raise more sheep.
They are good browsers, good for
wool, good for money crop Of
lambs, good for food an mutton,
good to enrich the land, and will
make the grower more clear mon-
ey than any other kind OF stock
grown. More sheep will reduce
the fertilizer bill, rid the farm OF
noxious weeds, furnish a delicacy
for the table, increase the bank
account. Then, why not raise
more sheepf-H. G. Davidson, In

AGAIN THE CALAMITY CRY

The Republican newspapers are
again raising the calamity cry,
and telling Of the ills to which
the country will become a prey if
the tariff wall is torn down, but
if this is to be the principal argu-
ment Of the Republican parry for
it's continuance in, power there
is little danger of the people re-
spending to the alarm, for the
Democratic party had given its
pledge as to tariff action and the
public will except il to carry out
its platform declaration.
The calamity cry, however, is
the favorite method Of Repubh-
can organs for diverting atten-
ton from the real issues of a
campaign. In the past they have
succeeded in fooling the people,
but the latter are in no mood to
be fooled again in the same man.
ner. The truth is the people
themselves are demanding that
the tariff wall be lowered, for
they have discovered that it af-
fords them no protection, but on
the contrary places them at the
mercy of the special interests.
The Democratic party has de-
clared for tariff reform and the
people are preparing to support
the position it has taken. The
present high tariff gives no prom.
ise to relief to those who have to
bear the high cost of living. On
the contrary it adds to their
burdens, hence the American peo-
pie who have been frightened in
the past and voted to strengthen
the tariff now realize that they
have been building it against
their own interests.
This fact more than any other
will make it impossible for the Re-
publican newspapers to save their
party from impending defeat by
raising the old cry that the coun-
try will go to the demnition bow
vows if the Democratic party
obtains control of the govern
ment.--States.

that the rally will be one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic ever
held in this section of the state.
Elaborate preparations will be
made for the reception and enter
tainment of all who come and
various subcommittee have been
appointed to carry out every par
ticular connected with the hand
ling Of the great gathering, and
provision for the inner man.
Petitions were filed with over
q thousand signatures of voters
requesting "Cousin Bob to make

states that several wards are yet
TO be heard from, and that three

will be handed in shortly. The

change of courtesies were intend
ed the President of France would
have gone to st. Petersburg and
not the premier. The President
not being part of the responsible
government of the French Repub-

head, serious negotiations could
not be intrusted to him. The pre-.
micr, on the contrary can speak

highly significant.
That Europe is on the verge of
serious international negotiations
and possibly complications is only
TOO apparent. "a Germany and
Austria were to decide TO 60 to
the assistance of their ally, Italy,
the combined powers would have
no difficulty in capturing Con-
stantinople so long as Russia did
not bar the way. 1t is without
doubt to secure assurances from
Russia that she will prevent any
advance on the Turkish capital
that has called the French Pre-
