T HE SULTAN OF TURKEY seems inclined to make a showing of resistance to the demand of v the powers that he, give up. to them the adminis tration and revenue of Armenia' and Macedonia, and he probably count on the mora! if not the physical assist ance of the kaiser, though so far the" German emperor has openly given himltio encouragement Russia, that other wise might back hira to some extent, ha her hands full f 'at home, and while Austria may be" supposed to have little heart in the business. Emperor Francis Joseph ap- rcsrs-to be acting in concert with England, France and taly in' requirmg the sultan to give up his maladmin istration' bf these provinces, or at least of Macedonia, though it is understood that he will be required to sub r mit to the same terms as to Armenia.

" , While more 1 steam .railroads 1 and ; needed and are very importanras means, of development, good wagon, roads are scarcely if any less so. The im-. jportanceof JS'oojjjroads, and. the. reason -why ithey are neeuca, ana now incy win neip, ana ineir vaiue, nave been told bo often that most people are entirely familial ittj them, and so they need recounting no- more.

It is encouraging' nd gratifying to observe the as , sembling of such a convention as this, and the earnest ness and, intelligence displayed; 'and even more so to note the fact that in several counties the good roads Work is already progressing iinely. The good work will ; no doubt be kept' up, and in a few years' we shark, be ' able to point with prider-to hundreds of miles of good roads, in air parts of Oregon. . This will take. much Work ' and much money,' but with the good roads spirit so active it eridcntly is,1 lime1 will be fuiiliromftrg. , Last season is said to have been the dryest one ever : known n Oregon, but' there is no- connection between this fact and the enforcement in spots of the local op tion law. :'';' .-. . .. c.; .'

Every secretary of the treasury since the war has been the mOst obedient servant of Wall Street first, and of the country, perhaps, if it suited Wall street, ; afterward.

It is true that Secretary Shaw did not respond directly and instantly as desired in the last instance to the clamor of the "shorts," for which he is tor be commended; but it was reported that he intimated to the 'New York na tional banks that they, might temporarily deplete theii legal reserve ' funds,' which if true is a fact making it clear that he is unfit 'for the position, he holds.
