The Macedonians nro In open revolt Jgalnst Turkey, but It has been a long tlmo since Macedonia was anything more than a shadow In history. It hns been suggested that the Ger man nllownnce of fifty bottles of cham pagne to each member of tho press at Kiel was prompted by a desire for full reports. ,Tho progress of reform In New York Is shown by the refusal of a man to nccept a $7,500 office. Under the old regltno It would not have been offered to a man who would refuse. VIrtuo Is always at a disadvantage in n legislature. It has no money to spend for virtuous purposes, and It seems wrong to bribe a man to do his duty however much noble patriots ex pect such greasing, According to a census bulletin on churches there are only twenty-fivo "altruists" In tho United States, and Judging from tho general tone of mod ern society, theso twcnty-flvo confine themselves to faith without works. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Georgia farmers must prepare for war. So soys Chief Entomologist Howard, of the Agricultural Depart ment. Tho presont Is tho "locust year" for these. Those of the- west central group will bo Invnded by vast armies of tho Beventcen-yeor brood, which last nppenred In 1878, whllo Georgia will bo vlsted by tho nineteen-year or Southorn brood, last seen In 1882. Dy tho merest chanco tho Frankfurt er Journal has discovered the oldest man in tho world In tho person of a merchant residing at Hcllbronn. This gentleman, In a letter to tho editor of that periodical, styles himself "A sub scriber from the first appearance of tho paper." Such loyal devotion deserves appropriate acknowledgment In this fickle age, for the Journal lias now com pleted tho 280th year of Us existence. Tho special newspaper room in tho now public library building, Doston, will contain representative newspapers from overy country In tho known world, and In overy languago In which nowspapcrs aro printed. Nothing which Is not a newspaper can bo ad mitted to this room all magazines, re views, etc., being prohibited. This Is tho first distinctively nowBpaper read ing room over established in connec tion with tho educational institutions of this country, and Its foundation has been mado possible through the bequest of tho late J. II. Flake, who left aper petual endowment of $2,000 a year for Its maintenance. Tho announcement has been mado public that President Seth Low would give to Columbia College its now li brary, to cost about $1,000,000, and W. C. Schermerhorn would give $300,000 to pay for tho erection of ono of the build ings on tho new site. Tho New York Evening Post says In this connection: JPresldent Low's magnificent gjf of $I,o7i5,&00 to" Columbia College for a library building, makes, wo believe, nearly six millions the coHego hn3 re- "ceived in "gifts since he succeeded to the presidency. This may fairly bo said to "beat tho record" among American colleges, It we except the foundation of tho Chicago University." Tacoma, Wash., has a horao-cannlng establishment which cans moat ea peclally for the French market. -Tho Cayuse Indian horso they use is a very different animal from the old spavined, broken-down dray horses and plugs used in Eastern and European locali ties. A party of Chicagoans wero re cently feasted on "Cayuse," and found, whllo coarse, It was tender, and rather pleasant to tho palate The coarseness of the fiber makes it easily detected. Speaking of the question, tho Now York Times wants to know where we shall look for the horso of the future. Tho Cleveland Plain Dealer says: "Look for him in the bologna sausage." The last official report from Argen tina showed that over 7.000,000 acres had been sown In wheat, and It was estimated that the harvesting of this crop cost $220,000,000 In paper money, gold being at a premium of 270 per cent. Many of tho farmers, It Is said, did not harvest the wheat. The total yield of the present crop In Argentina is put at 1,200,000 tons, for which the farmers would get ?18,000,000, causing a lois of f 1G2.000.000. The average price of wheat there is $4 for 100 kilos of 220 pounds. The export of this year's crop In Argentina Is put at 540,000 tonB. If Argentina Is losing money on wheat, It may he a sign that the farmers In the United States have a chanco to make somo little profit on their crop. Canada Is going to reduce her militia force. This is the mest sensible thing Canada could do under the circum stances. She doesn't need militia to protect her from the United States, and If she over gets Into a fight with Great Britain, Brother Jonathan will protect her with, his new navy. winflAlii Kan had n Rlinwr r Mnueiu, Kan., nan a snower or grasshoppers the other evening, and at tie thieves who were captured by vigi Chlcago it rained snakes.

ABSOLUTELY TRUTHLESS. The Imllan Jturrnn at Washington So In- formrd by Tclrgniph Tlio Cause of tlio Trouble I'ully Kxlatncil by Mr. Ktltzer In an OnU-ial Itcport to the Authorities. Washington, July 29. Tho Indian bureau has received a dispatch from Agent Teter saying there Is absolutely no truth In the report of a massacre of tho Jackson's Hole settlers Tbe Causes of tlio Trouble. Ciikvknnb, WyoM June 2U. Adjutant General Stitzer has forwarded his re port of tho Indian trouble to tho gov ernor. It is quito a lengthy document and covers fully tho causes leading to tho trouble. It says: "In an inter view on Sunday with four prominent residents of Jackson's Hole, the fol lowing statements were given me as grounds for tho action of the settlers: They claimed that tho llannocks, Sho shoncs and Lemhis havo for the past six years slaughtered game in large numbers, mainly for tholr hides. In 1894, after repeated appeals from the county authorities of Fremont and Uintah counties, the interior depart ment ordered that, no more passes should be given tho Indians al lowing them to leave tlio reser vation for the purpose of hunting. It is estimated that f,0u0 elk were killed iu that year. This year tho set tlers of Jackson's Hole determined to enforce tho law neainst the Indians and whites alike. On June '24, a pro cess was issued for tlio arrest of nine Itannock Indians for violating tho law When tho constable and posse at tempted to sevre their papers, they re sisted and threatened to kill them un less they went back to Jackson's Hole. Just about this time a squaw man liv ing at tho Hole received a letter from the Indian Bannock reservation stat ing that tho llannocks intended to go on tho war patli and kill tho whites in the Jackson Hole country. This letter was shown to tho settlers and created a great deal of excitement. "On July 2 eight ISnnnocks wero ar rested for killing game, and six of them were fined 8"."i and costs and sen tenced to jail until the fine was paid. They escaped from the guard and on Jul j 10 more of tlio same tribe were arrested. They attempted to escape after trial and were fired on by the whites, several of them being killed. On July ' Captain John Smith, a miner and prospector, was fired on from ambush and wounded in tho right breast. He returned the fire, killing one of the Indians. The shoot ing of Captain Smith caused a great deal of excitement nnd tho settlers believing that tho letter received by the squaw man was true, prepared to defend thembelves against tho expect ed attack. "Besides killin;,' largo numbers of game, all tho Indians arrested had in their possession hides taken from tho settlers' cattle, which the Indiuus had killed. It is claimed that over 3,000 head of clITIiavo been killed this sea son, the Indians chasing game into the settlements and shooting indiscrimin ately among the houses, endangering tho lives of settlers." Trouble In Oregon Possible. Portland, Ore., July 29. An Indian nar, similar to that which has broken jut botweon tho Bannocks and Utes and tho settlers of Wyoming, may en gage tho attention of the Oregon au thorities in the near future unless the interior department at Washington takes immediate stops to prevent the Indians now on tho reservations in this state from indiscriminately slaughtering game and fish in season nnd out. Ever since Fish and Game Protector McGuire has been in oilice he has had trouble with reservation Indians. Last summer about luO In dians from the Wurm Springs reserva tion fished out of the Clackamas river in tho vicinity of tho new experimental hatchery, a rpot which hus been their favorite fishing grounds for many years. Another fishing party is ex pected to arrive and co into camp at the now hatchery within tho next three weeks just when the salmon aro spawning and unless some meas ures uro taken to stop them they will surely have trouble with the hatchery employes.

CmoAoo, July 20. When tho lastdo bate, but one, of tho Harvoy-Horr sil ver convention opened this afternoon, Mr. Horr began with a comparison of the wnges and tho cost of products during tho years from 18C0 to 1800, as shown in the tablo prepared by Statis tician Cnrroll D. Wright. With wagea and prices in 1800 taken as tho Index, or 100, it showed that in 1800 prices were 0.J, wages IG9, and tho purchasing power of wages 172. Ho argued that at no time in tho history of tho nation was tho country as pros perous as it was then, in spito of tho "crime of 1873," He submitted that these statistics wero more applicablo to tho conditions under discussion than those of Mr Sauerbeck, quoted by Mrs Harvey on Thursday, as Mr. Sauer beck's figures were made from prices in England. Mr. Harvey, in turn, took up tho prices of wheat for a series of vcars, in reply to Mr. Horr's statement Thurs day that tho farmer received as much for his produce In gold as ho had re ceived before silver was demonetized. He quoted tho prices from year toyear and declared that tho arguments of Mr. Horr wero those which' had been used in all time to bulwark tyranny. Tho Declaration of Independence wns a proper answer to such-arguments. Tho proper index of prices was to measure them in articles of international use. Tuhlcs made up by gold men even, on these articles, showed that they wore lower than in 1850. Itefcrring to Mr. Horr's argument touching the measure of value iu human toil, he quoted from an nrticle by Mr. Horr in a New York paper in reply to a correspondent sug gesting the making of so much work the equivalent of a dollar. Mr. Horr declared tho proposition absurd and confusing. OHIO DEMOCRATS SPLIT. Sound Money Men nnd Sllvcrltcs of llut lcr County Hold Separate Meetings. Hamit.to.v, Ohio, July 9. When tho Democrats of Butler county met to-day to select delegates to the stato conven tion, each of tho two factions had a large following present. Tho main fight was on securing the majority in the central committco for silver. The convention wns called to order in the opera house but there was a split and the sound money men nd journed to tho court house, with ex Governor Campbell us presiding officer, while the free silverites remained in the opera house with Allen Andrews as chairman. The excitement was in tense nnd for a time pandemonium reigned. It finally became necessary order out the police force to keep order. The court house convention elected James E. Campbell and Paul J. Sorg as delegates at largo to tho state con vention. Tho other selected II. C. Gray, Peter Schwab, David Pierce, John F. Nielan, Christian Benning hoffen, E. F. Bundy of Mlddletown and Alf Demoret of Boss township. WESTERN CROPS. Tronic Managers Declare They Will Keep the ltoads llusy Twele Months. Kansas City, Mo.. July 29. Traffic managers of tho Western roads aro busily engaged these days in estimat ing tlio prospective size of the forth coming corn crop. It is believed by them that from information they havo a conservative estimate is to give the states of Iowa, Nebraska and Kunsas 800,000,000 bushels.
