GREECE AND TURKEY.

The European states will share the RESPONSE
biIity for the outbreak of hOstilities between
Greece and Turkey. The original mistake of
making the Hellenic kingdom 80 small that
after fifty years of creditable progress it is
barely self-supporting has never been re-
paired. The population of the Capital has
increased from 10000 to $4,000, the pro-
yiucial towns and villages have been partially
restored, and the peasantry ranks among the
most industrious and temperate agricultural
classes on the Continent. The kingdom only
requires more revenue and more territory in
order to fulfil its mission. The Greeks might
be already replanting the ancient olive groves
of Epirus and Thessaly if they had not fol-
lowed the advice of the Cabinets. If they
had joined the Gordon of alliances against
the Turks in 1877 they would have
shared in the fruits of the Russian
victory. They put trust in European
diplomatists and their own good fortune,
and when the conditions of peace were rati-
fed at Berlin they got nothing but q vague
promise. Three years of diplomacy have left
them precisely where they were when they
made their light-hearted but belated advance
TO the Thessalian frontier. Their troops have
been kept under arms month after month,
their financial burdens have become almost
intolepable. and in the end they find that they
cannot get what has been pledged to them
unless they fight for it. They must either
fight or disarm, and for dynastic reasons
neither the King nor his Ministers ventures
to suggest the latter courf-.
The Sultan, on the other hand, is making
preparations for war as actively rs bank
rupt treasury and national impOveiishment
win permit. The central idea Of his state
policy has been to avoid making concessions
TO any Power, great or small, until he is a5-
solutely compelled to do SO; and cam
palgn, in which he can put in the
field as many troops as the enemy
and rsvage defenceless coast at his own
pleasure, has few terrors for bin. He is
harasssd, moreover by the conviction that the
last concession made to Europe was unneces-
sary. With al the arts OF which crafty Eastern

CITY ROUNTY TO COUNSEL.

The action of the Grand Jury in investigat-
inc the mismanagement of the street cleaning
ia watched with eager interest by certain class
of LAWYERS. They would hail the Indictment OF
All tho Police Commissioners with real enthu-
slasm. There is no way IN which they can get
more money with less work than by defending
city officials and saddling big bills on the city
treasury Might it not be well to try new
plan and let accused officials pay their own
legal expenses Private persons whose miscon-
duct has brought them before the courts have
to nav their lawyers fees out of their own
pockets, even when they secure an acqmttal.
Public officers who have neglected their duties
and been faithless to their trusts do not deserve
any more consideration, even ii political in-
fuence and other causes make it impossible to
convict them. This business of giving lawyers
$1,000 or more apiece cut of the treasury for
services for which they would never venture to
charge an unofficial client half as much, has
gone too far. 1t is time to stop it.
OF course when it is evident that proceedings
against officials are due to mere partisan in
trigues, public sympathy is justly on the side
of the defence. But how many cases have
there been in which accused city officials have
not given good ground for attack, even if the mo-
tiyes of their assailants we're not freefrom sus-
picon9 II is simply absurd to claim that Gen
eral Smith and Mr.. Nichols were efficient in
Office and did not richly deserve removal, al
though the proceedings against them may not
have been inspired by an unmixed desire tor the
public good on the part OF Mayor Cooper and
Governor Robinson. Were the indicted Excise
Commissioners, who lavished licenses on the
vilest groggeres in the city in plain violation
of the law, blamelessP When the acts, or even
the inactivity, of public officer have been such
az TO furnish basis for an Indictment, or to
give a Mayor a reasonable excuse for making
charges, it is no hardship to require the accused
man to pay his lawy ers himself. The risks and
dscomfo1ts of city officers would not even then
be SO great that there would be any lack OF
candidates.

The President has decided that an extra

4ion 10 decide, and one on which Republican
oninion seemed to be divided. The Presidents

country. Democratic blundering has made

Dynamite In large quantities is ordered from

place before the deliberate officials are on the
ground Such an incident as this proves that

The MEETING between the rival Presidents
at State bail excited so keen an interest In
Paris that Boulevard gossip has been ringing
changes upon it for a fortnight. 1t was
snowy episode intended for the public eye.
The more important conference had previously
been held at the Elysee, and Gambetta has
explained to our regular Paris correspondent
why it was arranged and what was accom-
plished. He planned this interview TOT q
double purpose: First, to caution the rres'-
dent against believing the thousand calumnies
which were in the air respecting his own de-
signs and, secondly, to argue the question OF
electoral reform and, if possible, to gam MS
influence for the Scrutin de Liste. Gambettas
declarations at q public banquet last week are
in accord with these explanations. lie taxes

which tend to weaken the Presidents constl-

An ecclesiastical inquiry INTO the misdeeds OF
Edward Cowey, late keeper of the Shepherds

sheen of her flock Cowley anxious to call in the
children again whose testimony was so damaging

aud will not suffer himself to be unfrocked without
a eoht for 1t. He evidently rellshes row, and
Ebes notoriety, even OF the sort which year ago

Our London correspondent teleGraphs that
there were only four defections from the Lio-
eral ranks when the division was taken on the
Capdahar question, and that the majority ior
the Government was larger than the Whips ex-
pected. The debate was brilliant one, her
bert Gladstone making his maiden speech very
onnortupely, and Sir Charles Dixie aud Loro
Harrington carrying of the honors OF the nlghl'
The Liberal position, however, had been rem
dered impregnable fortnight before by no less
a nersonage than the Conservative leader
Lord Beaconsdeld in closing the debate in the
Upper House, had brushed aside the assumption
that the occupation of either Candahar, herat
or Ghazni was absolutely essential to secure the
safety of British India. "The key OF lndia," he
exclaimed, ais London! The majesty and SOW
aereignty, the spirit and vigor OF your Parma
ament. the inexhaustible resources, the inge-
anuity and determination of your people-these
aare the keys OF India" That is to say, il
Russia menaces India from Central Asia, where
there are no railroads by which large body OF
troops can be concentrated, England can send
its feet into the Baltic. India cannot be lost
without European war, and England will do
better to select naval base near st. Petersburg
than to fight in Afghanistan.
