Hopes and fears in regard to the outcome of this conference are equally divided, and every one la anxious to know bow each of the powers is disposed toward Turkey. An incident which occurred at Vienna is vary significant. Count Kahtoky, the Austrian minister of forelgp attain, gave a re- Motion to the diplomatic corps at Vienna, and clearly indicated his sympathies for Turkey by paying marked and ostentatious attentions to the Turkish ambassador. The two diplomats were almost inseparable during the reception, and found time to havfe a long and earnest conversation, in the course of whioh.tb*' Turkish minister said the sultan attached supreme importaaoe to the friendship of Austria. The attitude of Germany, which has been the subject of anxious speculation is now almost oartainly defined. There will be no immediate interference by Germany, and the Bulgarian union, having been accomplished, will be allowed to stand. It Is freely asserted in Berlin official circles that the union of the Bulgarians will be recognised, but that Prince Alexander and other disturbers of the peace of Europe will have to loqk for punishment after the immediate question has been disposed of. Prince Alexander hedging. He has telegraphed to the casr that he is witling to prove the ebesnoe of personal ambition on hie part by abdicating hlsMreaa on certain conditions. These conditions are that the 'Russian officers now in the Bulgarian service shall be allowed to remain and thai Boss la shall guarantee the new Bulgarian anion. „ We favor prohibiting the employment if children in the facterfo* and other Indusrial establishments in the state under 14 rears of age.

The effort* of the Republican legislatures of 1884 and X885 having proved inadequate to prevent tha manufacture and sale of counterfeit compounds in simulation of genuine butter and cheese products of the dairy, we demand the enactment of such laws as shall effectually prots ct the people by prohibiting such fraud and deception. We oppose all sumptuary and other laws that interfere with the constitutional right of personal liberty, and favor the enactment of such excise law* as shall be alike lust to all, considering the claims of all, and protecting their individual rights.
