The Greeks Continue Their War Prepara-

LONDON, April 5.-Mr. Bryce, Under Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, replying to a question
in the House of Commons this afternoon, said
that Greece had not accepted the advice OF the
powers as to the course she should pursue in
her trouble with Turkey. He also said that the
government had information which would
enable them to say that Greece would refrain
from war.
M. Ticoupis, ex-Prime Minister, in his attack
on the present Greek government. last Saturday,
in the Chamber of Deputies, blamed the Minis
tiers for missing the opportunity of arriving at q
good understanding with Turkey presented
by the recent war between Servia
and Bulgaria. He also criticised the
government for falling to organize the Greek
army, and urged that the raw recruits be sent
home, and well-trained men be ordered TO the
army, SO that the country might be in a state OK

The Greek Minister of War has returned from

honor of Greece on the field of battle, and not TO
return home until that honor was satisfied.

WASHINGTON. MARCH 8, 1885,
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

Notwithstanding the various adroit
and not altogether honest efforts of the
opponents of the Educational bill to
defeat that measure, II went through
,beSenatc yesterday by an unexpect-
edly large majority, vote of 35 to 1s,
or, in detail, as follows:
Yeas--Berry, Blackburn, Blair. Bowen, Call,
Colqultt. Conger, Cullom Delphi. Eustls,
Evarts, George, Gibson, iIoar, Jackson, Jones
of Arkansas, Kenna, Logan. Malone, Man.

Plumb, Teier and Wilson OF Maryland. SIX
Republicans, six Democrats.
Messrs. Brown and Morgan, Camden aud
Aldrich. Cameron and Sabin, Chace and stan
ford Dawes and Platt. Edmunds and Beck
Mcmillan and Vest, Sewell and Pike, Saul'
bury and Mitchell were paired; Mr.. German
would have voted against the bill had nc been
present.
The question involved is not of
partisan nature, so that no special i'm
portance attaches TO the fact that six
teen Democrats and nineteen Republi-
cans voted In favor of the bill and six
Democrats and six Republicans against
it. A more interesting feature of
tho vote is found in its sectional dis.
tribution, twenty-ono OF the thirty-flve
Senators who are recorded in the af
iirmative being from the Northern
States.
II is thus made plain that the bill
which is of Northern origin owes its
success to Northern votes, and what
ever criticism may be passed upon its
constitutionality or eXpediency. the
spirit of the legislation is eminently
honorable to both sections of the
country. The North believes that jus
iice demands Of the Government the
rcparation of the great wrong inflicted
upon theSouth under the plea of mill.
tary necessity; while the South, with
all her characteristic pride and dignity,
as steadily disavows any desire to be
made beneficiary of the public treas.
ury as an object of charity, and only ac.
ccpts the terms proffered as an act of
undisputed right. .,i,,r.
That the measure is both constitu-
tional and in the line of sound public
policy, as well as just, THE CRiTic has
repeatedly stated. Its conviction upon
these points has been intensified by the
.dek.ies of the present session. The
arguments advanced in support of the
constitutionality of the bill, taking
those of Mr.. Evarts of New York and
Mr. George of Mississippi as standards,
were simply unanswerable, and this
point settled, all else is settled.
The bill now goes to the House and
should pass that body with about the
same approach to unanimity as in the
Senate, and it is to be hoped, with less
discussion. The question has been ad
mirably covered and little that is new
can be said on either side.

AS THE SEASONS COME AND GO.

And the bees In the blooms are hummln,

The fresh young leaves are coming, dear!
In the genial prime OF May; =
And the bees In the blooms are humming,
And the world is glad and gay
Is gay and glad In the ripe bright spring,
Forgetting the wintersnow;
But winter again the SHOWS must bring,
AS the seasons ebb and flow;
And so the world goes round In ring,
AS the seasons come and go.
As the seasons come and go, ana the years
one after another die,
With wan, sad faces wet with tears,
And the laugh that ends In sigh;
In a slgll-and, signing, our hopes and Joys
Pace after them, sad and slow,
With our manhood's banbles and childhood's
toys,
Leaving us only the pleasure that clogs,
AS the seasons come and go.
The lads arc the fair girls wooing, dear
In the rath glad days OF spring,
And the greybeards for young loves suing,
dear
While the thrushes, mating. sing.
They are wise-ior the young grow old and
And Tiine is fair girls foe;
And maids are tickle, and men will stray
AS the seasons ebb and How:
For Loves forever Is but day,
As the seasons come and go.
In the new Loves lap all the old are forgot,
When the mouth now kisses Graves;
They are gone, like players remembered not,
one after one, like the waves:
On the dead Loves ashes the live Loves
tread, q
And into its fires we throw
The false girls picture, the tress of the dead,
As the seasons ebb and flow
Forgetting the once sweet lips SO red
AS the seasons come and 90.
MOI no l--there 'reye Loves we cannot forget,
Charming faces, forever dear;
Sweet Inns with whose kissing oui.s ttuole uat
Loving words we shall always hear;
Eyes that we always shall look into
Whether they love us or no;
Alterations immortal, tender and true,
Though the seasons ebb and iiow;
Immortal, o darling, as mine for you,
While the seasons come and 90.

brought large sums. Last evening, for

was $685., 300 Sums as high as $4,000
were paid for celebrated paintings, and

THE STRIKE AT AN END.

The great strike in New York has
terminated without any serious out
break. 1t is very fortunate for the
Metropolis that 1t was speedily termi-
mated, for even with the best of police
regulation, the presence Of large bodies
of unemployed workingmen in the
streets whose natural excitement was
added to by the presence of many
others bent upon attaining common
purpose--the situation being further
aggravated by the lawless and irrespon.
siblc bent only upon mischief-would,
If continued for any great length of
time, have probably resulted in some
grave disturbance of the peace. The
seriousness of the difficulty through
which the city has passed, is enhanced
blythe fact that all the members of the
Knights of Labor in the city, in what
ever trade employed, were ready to quit
work at once, IL by so doing they could
operate upon public sentiment in such
q way as to compel the railroad compa-
nies to accede to the just demands of
the striking men.
As II is the men gain an almost COM
plete victory. They will receive 50 a
day for twelve hours work with half
an hour for dinner. All other ques,
tons in dispute are left TO the arbitra.
ton of Railroad Commissioner O'Don-
nell. That gentleman has, by the
way, acted in manner deserving the
greatest praise. 1t was mainly through
his efforts and the confidence that both
the employees and the companies had
in. him that the trouble was SO soon
ended.
