ST.. Louis Times: '"Three months of
wilson is q phrase which has been
employed by some of our friends in

fort to point out u~npropitious condi-

There are numerous sound evidences
pointing to the conclusion that such
conditions do not exist. Sound business
is making good reports. incidentally,
1t Is to be noted that the fiscal affairs
of the country are getting further
away than formerly from those wholly
arbitrary and artificial conditions i'm
posed by the politicians. Stocks do
not f1uctuate as easily as formerly,
upon the occurrence of events which
have nothing to do with the actual
condition of the nations assets.
Just now we find that for the year
recently closed in the history Of the
railroads of the United States an al
most uniform note of prosperity is
sounded. Of twelve great systems, fig-
uring in the returns of the railroads to
the interstate m commission it
is seen that no fewer than eleven OF
them show very gratifying Increases
the only exception to the rule being
that of the national railways OF Mex

THE ATAVIsM OF BULGARIA.

Until now popular sympathy has
unquestionably been with Bulgaria in
the Balkan situation. The enterprise
of her martial leaders as we'll as her
indomitable ourage in insisting upon
her rights from the Turks quite won
the admiration Of the nations. A
marked change is noticeable in public
sentiment in only the last week.
So long as Bulgaria was fighting for
absolute relief from the oppressive
Ottomans, for tho religious liberties of
christians beyond their w borders
within the Turkish empire, the world
has applauded and taken q pride in
her Victories.
Sc long a~stBulgaria had the assist
ance of the Spartan courage of the
Greeks, of the daring valor of the
{ Montenegrins, the Albanians and the
4 Servians, a she been able to win.
Because of her aggressive leader
shipNin the recent Turkish campaign,
she felt the Mohammedans' defeats
werejall due to her own efforts alone.
| Like many parvenus who suddenly
find themselves vested with certain
authority, Bulgaria became drunk with
power.
That the allied Balkan nations re-
fused to be ovarridden by Bulgaria in
the division of the spoils they helped
to earn, is not strange.
The strange feature of the whole
struggle and the thing which has lost
| B~ulgariaAthe worlds respect. has been
her inconsistency in the barbarous
| fashion she has crucified christians of
another country who possessed differ
emf religious beliefs than those Of her
1 w state religion.
Advices from the near east in the
last few days have repeatedly told of
the horrible slaughter Of priests and
metropo1itans in the Greek hamlets
without number. Such a massacre as
occurred4 in Sores surpassed even the
atrocitiestof Nero. The outrages COM
mitted on women and children Of tina
city only makes more marked the
shame Of a supposedly civilized and
christian nation whose cry against her
first enemy at the beginning of virtu-
ally the same war was the persecution
of her christian subjects.
Civilization Is not yet far advanced
in Bulgaria else. as a country, she
would not so soon have lapsed back
into the barbaric customs of earlier
generations.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

The good old days were always best,
80 runs the legend. But were they?
An old journal has been discovered
in an Amsterdam bookshop giving the
experiences Of two Hollanders in the
American colonies from 1879 to 1850.
How different their voyage from one
on the Imperator or the Mauretania.
1.-THE passengers and crew were a.
wretched set. There was no rest night
or day." bewailed the travellers. 1t
seems that most of the passengers
were drunk most Of the time. Our
noble ancestors! How differently we
picture them in school histories.
This old journal, among other
things, takes a fall out of the dignified
Beginnings of Harvard college. The
road leading from Boston to Cam
bridge was a pleasant one, though
rather hard to follow, judging from
the fact that our heroes lost their
way. The college building was the
most ~pretentious in the town. The
travellers heard a babel of voices and
thought the students engaged in dis
putation.
On the contrary says the journal:
w entered and found there eight OF
ten young men smoking tobacco, with
the smoke Of which the room vas So
aull that one could hardly see: and the
Whole house smelled so strong Of il

President Wilson's "No'' Winning Out

Indianapolis News: President viii
sons first fOur months in the White
House have been strenuous. The
story of the things he has refused to
do, could those things be enumerated,
would probably be even more inter- |
estiig than a recital of the things he
has done. Probably no president has
said mo" with more frequency than
he has. His largest task has been to
coax the democratic party up to his
standard, and he is not yet through
with that job.
A few days after Mr.. Wilson was
i~naugurated, a republican United
States senator with independent pro-
clivities, made his remark:
THE presidents great task will be
to make the leaders in the democratic
party see things rs he sees them.
Without intending to reflect on his
party, 1 should say that he is head and
shoulders above it. If he can bring it
up to him, he will make the greatest
president since Lincoln; If the lead
ers of the party bring him down to
their level, the administration will not
be a great success"
Resisted Party Pressure.
There probably has not been a day
since March 4 on which the president
has not felt obliged to resist pressure
from influential men in his party to
nave certain things done. Thus far
his will has prevailed, and he has been
able to have his way with a minimum
of friction. Privately, democrats have
now and then criticized him somewhat
severely, but they have had to admit
that his position was the correct one,
and this being the case, they have
been compelled to nurse whatever
grievances they may have felt in
private.
The president had not been in the
White House a month before he en-
countered a we'll developed movement
to wreck the civil service system. The
spoilsmen, with. their fair play assoc
ciation,' were going to turn them merit
system upside down. Before they
heard from the president they made
plans for a congressional ~investiga-
ton, and fixed up a programme for
legislation. Just what the presidents
suggestion was has never been made
public, but it was announced one day
that there would be no congressional In
vestigation, and that the merit system
would not be disturbed. The fair
play association has not been heard
of since.
In the Consular Service.
A large number of democratic SEN
ators and representatives felt that the
consular system ought to be turned
over to the spoilsmen. They gathered
statistics to show that most of the
men now serving as consuls and con-
sular agents of the United States were
appointed as republicans. and then ar
gued that these men ought to all be
replaced by democrats as soon as pos
sible. The president listened atten-
lively, and later announced that the
merit system, as III affected the con
sular service, would not be disturbed
Thus far only four consuls have been
appointed. and In each instance tbs
man appointed was already In the
service and was promoted.
IF the spoiIsnien could have had
their way, the fourth class postmaster
would all have been taken out OF thu
civil service. eThat was the suggestion
originally made by Influential de1Ilp.
