The Tilden Tiding is a new

The civil service system was
dis cussed with more force than
eloqnence in the United Slates
senate the other day being
denounced by several venerable
senators as "a humbug a de
ioblnn a snare and a fraud."
Thf importunities of the horde
of place hunters who are now
making life a burden to the r
publican members of congress
Lave upset the senatorial
temper. It is fortunate for the
welfare of the country thai
President McKinley is a firm
believer in civil service reform
Corn is selling in Nebraska
at eigth cents a bushel while
Texas consumers are paying
forty cents for the same cereal.
It cWs look as if Nebraska
producers and Texas consumers
might make some arrangement
which would be mntuallj' more
profitable. Instead of any such
move- however the cheap corn
will be bonght up by specula
tors who will hold it until the

TOO Oliristiaii Massacred the
Sultan Indifferent Greece
- Will Not Bacfc Down.
- Constantinople March 23.
Details of the outbreak of Snn-
day last at Toka in the Sivas
dibtucl of Asia Miner when
the Turks attacked the Armen
ians while the latter were in
church show that 100 Chris
tians were massacred. The
Armenian qnarter and bazaar
were given over to pillage for
eight hours. The representa
tions of the'amhassadors of the
foreign powers regarding the
matter made but little impres
sioii on the sultan who rely-
ing in the support of Russia is
convinced that he has nothing
to fear from the so called con
cert of the powers which is
continually harped upon al
though it is believed that little
or uo concert exists beyond the
desire in some quarters to post-
pone an outbreak of war which
really exists.
The diplomates here are said
to be once more turning their
attention to the conduct of the
sultan; and it U semi-officially
intimated that they are again
of (he opinion that friendly
representations upon the sub
ject of Armenia which have J
hitherto been used must be
changed for sterner methods of
dealing with the evils complain-
ed of. The-sultan however has
heard this story many times
during the past few years and
he consoles himself with the
oelief that he will survive this
new fit ot righteous indignation
aB he has tided over others of a
much more serious character.
The ambassadors have form
ally uotified the Turkish gov-
ernment of the intention to
laud troops on the island of
Crete to relieve the detach-
ments of foreign marines
now on duty ashore. The
porte has raised no objections
up to the prf8nnt time believing-
that the next movement of the
foreign fleet would be to carry
out the threat of the powers to
blockade the principal ports of
Greece. On this question how
ever there is no uuaniniitj7 of
opinion.
In the meantime the war pre-
parations of Greece are continu-
ing night and da- and there
is no indication of a backdown
in that quarter Money does
not appear to be lacking for the
equipment of the Greeks and
large supplies of arms and am
munition have been forthcom
ing from what sources is not
clear. There is one feature of
the situation which Bhould not
be overlooked. The Greeks
aFe animated by the strongest
feeling of warlike enthnsiasm
while the Turks are said to be
suffering the greatest privations
without pay or proper equip-
ment which has made them
sullen and far from desirous of
entering upon an aggressive
campaign.
If war is declared the Greek
army from Iaris8a will prob
ably try to enter Macedonia
wiih the Crown Prince Constan-
tiue and a second Greek army
wm altmpt to enter Epirus in
the vicinity of Arts.
It is still. possible that war
may be averted by timely con
cesRiaxw to Greecs such aathe
withdrawal of all Tufkish
troops 3rom Crete and the se
lection of Prince George as gov-
ernor of Crete with the andtr-
standing that eri:iqu1et is re-
stored it shall be$etjidetl by a
plebiscite whether or not the

AN IMPORTANT
- " .. ENTERPRISE.
Speaking of the construction
of a dam across theGuadalnpe
river near Cuerp the Cuero
Daily Star says:
"Work is going right ahead
all the same just as fast as
steam- tackle steam pumps
and teams and scrapers can
possibly do it. It is one of the
most important enterprises
that has been undertaken in
South Texas for a long time
and contemplates a train
of far reaching possibilities.
Who knows but it may
eventuate in making a great
manufacturing city of Cuero.
It is entirely possible. There
is believed to be no lacking of
financial resources to get all
needed money to thoroughly
inaugurate and equip the enter-
prise. The fact is Cuero is a
town of ample resources to
construct and maintain any
enterprise that promises good
returns."

Myopia as avell as all complicated diseases
of the eje such as Diplopia Hypermetro-
pic Asthernopia Astigmatism etc.
Below are a sjmptoms of failing sigh.t :
When the eye becomes tired from read

If you are troubled with any of the
aboe" symptoms it is a sure indication
that you need glasses.
CHEAP LENSES
are ot an unequal density and have im-
perfectly formed surfaces and continually
using of these poor glasses 1 increase
the trouble for which they were intended
to alleviate.
Tiie Lenses used by Prof. Chester are
ground from a select stock of the
WORLD RENOWNED HOT
SPRINGS
diamond stones and the focus on each
lens is accurately located in the center of
lens and each and every frame accurately
adjusted to the face so as to give the
wearer the great st possible comfort.
Headaches are caused by ee strains
and many people whose heads are con
stantly aching do not know the great
relief afforded by properly htted glasses.
I will make my office at the Botica del
Leon from
March 6th. until April 1st.
Office hours From 9 to 11:30 a. m ;
