Greece Not Yet on the warpath.


The little skIrmish between the Greeks
and the Turks on the frontier hardly
rises to the dignity of being the beginning
of war between Greece and Turkey.
A few shots were exchanged, the Turks
lost couple of guns and were driven
from the position they occupied, and then
the situation was restored to what it was
before the interchange of shots took place.
The civilized world is watching to see
what the next move will be. The interest
is not so much IN the prospect Of war
between Greece and Turkey as of rup-
ture In the relations of the great powers
of Europe, which the action Of Greece
may bring about.
No one doubts that the cause Of Greece
is just. She is only asking for what the
great powers at the treaty of Berlin agreed
that she should have. Turkey refused
and still refuses to carry out the terms OF
that treaty, and give to Greece the terri
tory to which she is entitled. Greece
thinks that she has been patient long
enough. Because she Is small and weak
the powers think they can impose upon
her. They don't deny that they haven't
the courage to force Turkey to do what
they agreed she should do.
They are afraid Of each other. and they
feel certain that if they should undertake
to make Turkey do what is right, or il
they permit Greece to undertake to make
Turkey carry out the Berlin agreement,
they will be ateach others throats at once.
They, therefore, propose to do nothing
in the way Ofmaking Turkey act honestly.
and they have agreed, or have pretended to
agree, to prevent Greece from doing any
thing. Greece cannot handle Turkey
without her navy, but with her navy,
which is as much superior to that Of Tur-
keys as Turkeys army is superior to that
Of Greece, she probably could N AXE the
situation very unpleasant for the Porte.
But the powers have determined that
the Greek navy shall not be used against
the Turks. Their cruisers and iron-clads
are off the Greek ports and obstruct the
departure Of the Greek fleet. What can
he Greeks do with their stron gest arm
rendered useless? 1t would be madness
for them to attack Turkey without their
navy.
la the meantime the drain on the Greek
Treasury is very great. 1t isn't very
full treasury, and az the present rate of
expenditure the bottom must soon be
reached. The people are ready to bear
almost any burden, because they know
they are in the right. They are enthusi-
astic for war, but what can they do if the
giant powers persist in holding their
hands? Their hone of getting justice de-
ponds upon a quarrel among the great
powers.

Cowden,s Outlet Scheme,

Capt. Cowden's scheme for afOrding
the Mississippi valley relief from over
flow, is about to make its appearance in
Congress again. 1t is alleged that sever
al well known New York men are behind
it, and that they expect to meet with
much greater success than Captain Cow
den met with when he undertook to get
Congress to accept it.
the scheme is to cut an outlet from
point on the river, nine miles below New
orleans, to Lake Borne, which is part of
the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is claimed that
this outlet would lower the level of the
river to such an extent that there would
be no overflow during the spring freshets.
That this claim has little or no founda-
ton has been demonstrated 50 often that
there are few men in Congress VINO are like
ly to give the scheme support. The main
idea, of course, Of those who are lobbying
for it. or propose to lobby for it, is TO fill
their pockets from the Treasury.
very good reason for thinking that
the outlet would not do what it is claimed
it would, is that the enlargement of the
Atchafalaya from an Insignificant ditch
to an immense river, equal almost to the
Mississippi, has not prevented the over
flow Of the country above that river. If
the outlet theory is a sound one, why
is 1t that when the floods come the coun-
try above and below the Atchafalaya is
not preserved from overflow?
The outlet theory sounds well, but no
practical engineer has ever been found to
indorse it. Capt. Eads condemns it, and
the press of New Orleans is against it.
Capt. Cowden, gOod-enough man in his
way, who knows perhaps how TO navi-
gate a steamboat, has had this out
let idea on his brain for years.
He has haunted the committee rooms and
Hobbies of Congress until members have
become tired of seeing him. He never
succeeded in advancing his scheme any.
A few Congressman who knew nothing
about the Mississippi river, but who
thought they knew more about it than
engineers who mad made it study for
years, gave Capt. Cowden sort of in
dorsement. That did him no good, how
ever, because there never was the remotest
chance that Congress would indOrse it
while he had the management of it.
The New York men may be able to
handle 1t to better advantage. They may
even succeed in getting a committee OF
Congress to indorse it. But there is very
little probability that Congress will ever
vote a dollar to it. TIE country is i'm
pressed with the idea that about enough
money is being spent on the Mississippi
river, and Congress will hardly make an
appropriation which the country doesn't
approve.
