SOUTHEASTER EUROPE.
States That May at Any Time Be
come the Theater of a Big War.
The three small kingdoms of
Greece, Servia and Roumania and
the principality of Bulgaria are
not very important powers in
themselves in size, in population,
in military strength or in political
weight. But that is the reason
why they are interesting to the
world, and why the events which
succeed each other in their corner
of Europe are anxiously watched
by the great powers.
This reason is, that, by their
geographical position, they are
closely connected, with the rival
ambitions of the two great empires
of Russia and Austria. It follows
that any disturbances or impor
tant changes in either of the four
small states spriously threatens
the peace of Europe.
The situation is rendered the
more serious, because these little
kingdoms and the Bulgarian prin
cipaiity are rivals oi eacn oiner.
bach desires to become more
larger and powerful than it already
is.
Greece covets its ancient prov
ince of Macedonia, which is still,
as Greece and all these other
little states formerly were, a part
of the Turkish empire. Bulgaria
also claitn3 Macedonia. Each of
these kingdoms, in fact, opposes
the aspirations of its neighbor-,
not because either of them favors
Turkey, hut because it does not
wish any mal government to be
come unuulv strong, bacn sov
ereign, nu doubt, hopos to beeomt
the heir of the sultan s dominions,
when the Turkish empire in Eu
i ope falls into ruins.
The rivalry between oprvia and
Bulgaria is of long standing, and
produced tno war in wnicn, a iow
years tgi, me iiuigarianp, unacr
their gallant prince Alexander,
nflie'ted an unexpected and crush
ing defeat upon the Servians.
The recent attitude ot two, at
least, of these small states has,
moreover, altered the conditions
of tho famous eastern question.
Russia went to war, ten years ago,
to liberate Bulgaria from the rule
of the Turk. As a result of the
war, Roumania, which previously
achieved half-independence, bo
came an independent and so ercign
state.
Undoubtedly Russia expected
that the gratitude of those
two countries would show iteelf in
aiding the Russian designs to cap
ture Constantinople. She hoped
thereby, to make an easy path for
herself to tho historic city on tho
banks of the Bosphorous.
But it turns out that Romania,
Bulgaria, and also Servia, are not
only unwilling to join their forces
to those of Russia in a march to
Constantinople, but that they ob
ject to the passage of a Husian
armv through their territory. In
stead, therefore of providing easy
stepping-stones for the czar, they
had become serious, and perhaps
unyiolding obstacles in his path.
Meantime each of the smaller
kingdoms and Bulgaria are show
ing signs of progress and increas
ing strengthi The king of Servia
promises to give his subjects a
more liberal constitution than the
present one. The lower house of
the Servian parliment the Skup
scbina is now composed of mem
bers three-fourth" elected by the
people and one fourth by the king.
It is proposed that they shall here
after be wholly elected by the
people.
In Greece king George, son -of
the Denmark, has just celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
accession to the "throne, and his
eldest son, the duke of Sparta, has
betrothed to a sister of the Ger
man emperor. Greece is making
quiet but perceptible progress.
Her finances are in a satisfactory
state; her securities stand well in
the markets of the werld: brigan
dage has been restricted; law and
order are fairly well established
and the people seem contented
with their government.
Bulgaria is in a more disturbed
state, and gives rise to more im
mediate anxiety than her neigh
bore. The reigning prince, Ferdi
nand, has not yet been recognized
by the great powers, and Russia
is openly hostile .to hfm. On the
other band, he seems to havc be
come popular with hiV suhjpctp,
and has maintained his difficult
position with spirit. His policy
seems to be steadily to resist Rus
sian influence, and to build np a
free and independent nation, able
to take care of itself.
The situation of these states is
such that they may at any time
become the theatre of a devastat
ing war. On tho other hand it
seems to be the object of the
great powers generally to keep
them quiet, to protect them in
their growth to greater power and
to so influence their policy as to
prevent anything from taking
place which would bring on a con
titer, euner oeiween tnemseives or
between the greater powers on
either side of them.
A Glaring fraud.
It is now ascertained that there
will be a change made in the
school books for the state of L re
gon, that is the readers and arith
metics are to be changed and
Barnes' readers and Fish's arith
metics adopted as the text book
for the next four years, says the
Roseburg Hevieio. The vote has
not been officially announced, but
enough are recorded to ascertain
that such will be the change. Now
this is one of the most bold, glar
ing and impertinent outrages that
was ever imposed on a suffering
public at the hands of men who
have been, in our opinion, bribed
to do thisoutrngeous work. We say
out upon such outrages that filchc
thousands of dollars from the
poor people of the state to build
op rich publishing corporations.
Tim people should rise en masse
and petition the next legislature
to take action upon this matter of
a change of school books. Some
tliiiiff must be done to protect the
puhlie and the next legislature can
not afford to isruore this matter.
It is a crying necessity that some
thing be done. Look to your lau
rels gentlemen of the legislature
iiid oust this glaring fraud fr. m
nur staiefand tltereby win for
yourselves lasting lion -ts in do
ing for ynur constituents a noble
serico. It is the people as ngaitut
the corporations, which will you

It seems at last to bo definitely
determined where president and
Mrs. Cleveland will live after the
4th of March. Mrs. Cleveland, in
conversation with friend's a few
days ago, said Mr. Cleveland and
she intended to go to Buffalo for a
visit of a few weeks immediately
after the close of the president's
term, and then would take a house
in Georgetown for their permanent
residence. Georgetown is a pret

whose heights one has a fine view
of the winding Potomac.
