WHY THEY FIGHT THE TURK.

The treaty OF the Balkan states to
strike at Turkey and shake off the
yoke OF the barbarous tyrant is in

editor Of Chicago.
The Balkan states had peaceably
waited for the putting into effect Of
the reforms according to the Berlin
treaty, through which the would as

but they had waited in vain since
June. 1850. when the treaty was
signed by the European powers and
was accepted by Turkey
And ever since that time the Chris

nationalities had been signing under

BARFLIEs AND FREE LUNCH.

Alderman Timothy Englehart Of
Gary should be ticketed with the O.
X. label for his crusade on the free
lunch proposition
lie might have been little bit
uneuphemistic. but he was plain
spoken when he declared that free
lunch attracts buns and baraies to
saloons. lie could have put it little
stronger ana been perfectly truthful
in saying that free lunch MAKES
buns and barhies. There are many
men who never work because they
can get free lunch in saloons 1t is
unsanitary al best Nothing could
disgust a clean man more with a sa-
loon infested with a crowd Of Ioafers
lowering around bowls of free lunch.
A decent saloonkeeper doesn't want
that kind Of patronage AMI it is to
be hoped that the Gary aldermen can
make them see that they cant have
it. Don't resolute" till the cows
come home but knock out the free
