GRITTY GREEKS.

When Greek meets Turk then comes
the tug OF war just as surely as when
Dutch meets Dutch then comes the lager
beer. The Greeks want Turkey, or some
Turkey. European advices say that the
gritty Greeks are spelling for a fight, and
1t is evident from the dispatches that little
Greece means business. She has fitted
out thirty three war vessels with which to
take in Turkey. In scrimmage with
Turkey alone Greece might hold her own
for while, but in fight with a great pow.
er like England Greece would stand about
as MUCH show Of winning as Philadel-
phia lawyer does Of entering the kingdom
of heaven. England has sent a fleet to.
ward Athens to enforce the order of the
Great Powers, and it is not probable that
Greece will have the temerity to array her.
self against such formidable foe as the
monarch of the seas. A shower Of shells
from the English fleet would send the
Greek war vessels to the bottom of the
Mediterranean. The land and naval force
of Greece is too small to cope with any
one Of the Great Powers, and against all
combined struggle would result in not 8
grease spot being left OF Greece. The OBJ
lection OF the Greeks to the union Of Bull
garia and Eastern Roumelia, with the TAX
ing away Of 100000 residents from the
government under which they have beer
reared, is what the trouble is about. Should
war ensue the gritty Greeks will get whip
ped and the Powers will enforce the pro
posed union.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec 2-In the trial of
Paul Grottkau for melting to riot. the defend
ant testified in his own behalf to- day. He as
serted that in his speech at Milwaukee Garden
he had exerted all his eloquence to keep the men
off the streets and away from saloons; to avoid
all possible conflicts with the authorities to de-
fend all property and in every conceivable way
propagate peaceabe settlements of existing diff
fculties. On cross-examination the defendant
was made to admit that, Immediately previous
to the riots, he had absolute control
of the labor movements here that all reports re-
lating to them were submitted to him and acted
upon, and that he had knowledge of the first
riot at Bay View before he made his speech.
After Grottkau, several conspirators and So
cialists graced the witness stand. and they also
testified that his two speeches had been any
thing but melting to riot They corroborated
his version on every detail, and the impression
was created, which was afterward nearly sub
stantiated by one witness, that the testimony
was manufactured.

among the men is very strong and trouble is
feared. The engineers, it is said. have deter

One of Mr.. Vilas's Recommendations Which

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.In his annual report
Postmastergeneral Villas calls attention to
matter which has caused good deal of comment
among Congressman, and which Will undoubt-
edly receive legislative action rory soon. 1t is
the matter of classification of postoffices and the
allowances of those of the third class Mr. Villas
thinks that the system which has bean in prac-
tice for some time, by which third-class post
offices are graded is very poor; also, that those
of this rank should receive more financial assist
ance at the hands Of the government. He
recommends that officers Of the third class get
ting So, 500 year or more should be given build
ings to be occupied solely for postofice purposes.
and that there should be additional clerical
services. He recommends that such Offices
should be leased by the government and given
allowances for fuel light and clerical force TO an
amount not in excess of box rent aud commits
sion.
For several years Congress has been practiciug
kind of by.play or burssque 10 the matter Of
providing buildings for third class postofices 1t
has been making an appropriation for the lear
ing of buildings for these offices which has been
equal to about 5 per cent. of the actual cost of
buildings leased. The object in providing that
buildings for thirdclass postofices can be leased
and making an appropriation inadequate to
the required amount, has been. and is now, for
the purpose of encouraging rivarios in Lhe
SIN all cities between localities aud business,
that the citizens, for the purpose Of securing
location of the Office will contribute an amount
sufficient to pay the rent The operation Of this
despicable practice has been the leasing of
buildings at nominal figures aud ieeching the
citizens for the rent
An officer at the Postoff1ce Department. who
has much to do with leasing postoffice buildings,
says that the government does not pay more
than 10 per cent. of the rent for buildings oeey-
pied by all postoffces of any other than the
frstclass. which are in the very largest cities.
The consequence is that mercenary motives con-
troll the location of the pos;ofices of the second
and third class, whereas convenience 10 the
