AN ELECTION IN MACEDONIA

Corpse of a M.rder.4
CarUtlaa.
The new gendarme of the district bad
been instructed by the foreign officers In
charge of the gendarmerie reform school
at Salonlca, and he knew therefore that
when he discovered the corpse of a Chris
tian lu the high road he roust report the
fact In Just the same way as he would if
the dead man bad been a true believer.
Equality was to reign In the Ottoman em
pire. So the kalmakam, or mayor, of the
town outside of which the body was found
received a visit from the gendarme.
The body was identified as that of a
Greek named Perloles, a pig dealer and
buyer of cocoons, a man of 40-odd years,
with a wife and eleven children and grand
children. Though In the matter of family
and personal appearanc Pericles was un
mistakably a Greek, he differed from the
great majority of bis race in the quality
of brain matter contained In his fat. round
head.
rte was a reasoning man. In politics as
well as in commerce he took views that
were practical, lie was possessed of no
visionary Ideas about the raoe to which
he belonged. He did not believe that be
should swindle and lie. aa one has to do to
maintain existence in Turkey, and thea
Insult the ancient Greeks by laying claim
to direct descent from them. Tet he loved
his people and nourished hope for them.
Burely there had been a bard lot He
Ing district had been so arranged by the
government that neither the Bulgarians
nor the Greeks could bring In a majority.
These rival Christians were to cut each
others' throats, politically speaking, while
the Turkish delegate should ride In upon a
...im Mnha.mmedan vote. There was no
chance for the Christian nominee.
This the Bulgarians saw, and being prac
tical people some of them took no interest
In the election, while others voted In the
preliminaries for the best Turk who was
proposed. But the Greeks could vote only
for members of their own proud race.
They were going to have their rights!
They would meet at the churches and go
In a body to the polls; tills would show
their strength and valor. They flourished
revolvers and long knives, which the new
order of things permitted all men to carry.
But they were sure of winning the elec
tion In any case by sheer weight of num
bers. The Greeks, they numbered thou
sands, a hundred thousand. In this dis
trict alone, while the Bulgarians and the
Turks could be counted, they said, oh,
on the tingera
At one of the meetings of his party
Pericles pointed out that it did not matter
what the numbers of respective communi
ties were the Young Turks meant to have
the election. They meant to have a ma
jority of Mohammedans represented In the
parliament from Macedonia as well as
from Asia Minor.
This statement set the meeting In a
tumult. Some of the assembly were ready
to throw things at the speaker. The thing
was aa outrage. Greeks would have thelr
rtghta. They would try peaceful means
first. The bishop would write at one. to
the patriarch and the Turks would be
given the warning In ample time.
The stout, perspiring pope, at whose
residence the meeting was held and who
acted as chairman, gathered up his long
black skirts and scurried out of the
crowded room to draft the protest to Con
stantinople, tils blood was at such a
pitch that he could not wait.
The protest was one of a thousand that
went to the patriarch from every town
which held a Greek community on either
shore of the Egean.
At another meeting before the final elec
tion, the election for the delegate to the
chamber, lt was found that the Turks
would have forty electors, the Bulgarians
twenty-eight and the Greeks twenty-one.
It was an outrage. The Greeks would
have their rights. The Turks had better
not drive them too tar, eta, eta
When the other speakers had shouted
themselves hoarse, two and more some
times speaking at once, Pericles found an
opportunity. But he did not speak long.
He was howled down In a few minutes,
for his speech was not of the same char
acter as the others.
He had nothing to say of Greek righta
Greek valor or Greek determination to
depart this life, and he had the temerity
to advocate that the twenty and one Greek
electors should cast their vole for Ismail
Kffendi, an honorable Mussulman, who had
on one occasion turned a rabble of his co
religionists away from this town, the Chris
tian quarter of which they had Intended to
plunder and destroy.
"Greeks shall vote for a Greek and none
others," was the will of the meeting, which
was swayed by the long-hatred, long-robed
sweating priest and a swaggering insur
gent, once an officer in the army of Greece,
who always carried a rifle upon bis shoul
der and wore a six-inch silver cross sus
pended by a purple ribbon around hli
neck. The cross had been given the in
surgent by the priest two years before, on
the arrival of the former from Athens
to engage In a campaign against the Bul
garians, and he, the insurgent, received. It
is said, from five to seven nuj.diega for
every member of the schismatic church
ahoin he and his band could slay.
The final election came. Of the twenty
and one Greek delegates twenty voted for
the Greek candidate and one, Pericles,
voted for Ismail Effendl along with ten
or a doaen Bulgarians and twenty-odd
'lurks. Ismail, the Young Turk candidate,
was ot course elected.
lt was two days later that the body of
Pericles was found, gashed and mutilated
and suspended by the feel from a mul
berry tree on his oocoon farm. All the
Greeks knew the reason he had been slain,
lt was because he had turned traitor to
ihe cause of Hellenism.
"This insurgent, Theorides, he is gone
of course?" the Turkish Kalmakam aatted
the gendarme who reported the find.
"Kalmakam Bey he is in the house ot the
Rayah priest," was the reply.
The Turkish governor lifted his ayes as
much as to say "I thought so."
"If he comes out," he said, "you might
arrest him."
The kalmakam bad no Intention of mak
ing trouble tor himself over a slala Chris
tian, lie knew lhat no eud of a protest
such as Greeks only are able to make,
would go to the Young Turks from the
patriarch if the "castle of the pope" were
entered and searched.
An American Insurance company paid
the widow of Pericles the fair fortune of
11.000. For, as I have said, Pericles was.
like the others of his race in personal mat'
ters, a most practical man.
