Turkey has been promising the reforms again and again, Europe has taken up the matter several times, but because of the jealousy that exists between tho powers, which do not want to dismember Turkey, the horrors of bloodshed never have seased in Macedonia and elsewhere where Christendom predominates. Therefore, this matter could not be settled any other way than by a war of Christianity against barbarism. If Europe did not dare to touch the integrity of the unspeakable Turk, if Europe overlooked her duty toward peace, civilization and humanity, it was the duty of the Balkan states to

take the responsibility on their nhoulders and declare the war in order to show to the world that they care for the honor and lives of their compatriots under the yoke.

"Now, I will make this proposition: If you will haul mo 428 bushels of corn it tool-; to pay for the wagn at $'bi, 1 will give you the new $7. wagon, a new ru'-ber tired buggy, a new riding breaking plow, a new National riding cultivator and a new corn "planter, and give you back the $ 7 you paid for the
