GREECE IN TILE SILKS.

EurOpes spoiled child is sulking under disc-
pline. The excitement in Athens over the Gov
ernments impending surrender to the Powers
is running high and Ministers are warned that
any act Of humiliation on their part will bring
! down upon their heads the wrath of the Nation.
| The Prime Minister convinced by the angry
rcmonstranccs Of mass meetings in the city that
the announcement of his compliance with the
will of Europe will be followed by roting, is
pursuing a shilly-shallg policy of evasion and
ndecisOn. Like Il bailled and desperate game
ster, he hcsitates to play his last aud only card
and is lurtvely glancing around the table to
see if by any chance there is a misdeal any,
where among the Powers. Such expcdients
cannot be long persisted in. The allieu fleet is
of the coast under orders to enforce the demand
for disarmament. Delyannis may consider it
polite to maintain as long as possible an atti-
;ude of resistance to Europe in order to con-
vince the people that he yields only on compul-
sion after exhaus,ing every diplomatic resource
In the end he will have to surrender in the
name of the Nation and incur an immediate and
possibly an rreparable loss of popularity.
Greece since the war of independence has
uniformly acted upon the principle that every
thing WAS to be gained by diplomacy without
lighting, and that the European States. which
once came bravcly to her rescue, cond be de-
pended upon to advance her interests on every
occas on If she had shown greater self
reliance in 1877, when Russia was battling for
the lihertics of the Bui garans, and had not
waited suplnely for tn, good offices Of the
Powers, everything now claimed by her most
ambitious statesman would have been obtained
and a great imperu, given to her fortune.
Delyannis has appealed to the martial instincts
which were steadily repicssed in time of war
when there was an opportunity for combining
with Russia and the Balkan States against

being foreign or American built; but he seri-
ously damages his reputation as a man of edu-

of a nation adoat, nor to Justify in his eyes the
long line of illustrious statesmen who have held
to this theory. Mr. Beck's opinions on ships
and their uses are evidently about as valuable
as Mr.. Becks financial views; namely, that the
best way to help the circulation of silver dollars
