ton into so-called grievances. t"
state this proposition will be, in the
view Of many, to condemn it. Those
in whose eyes Turkey is always and
inevitably in The wrong, and who
blame her for disagreement, while
they deny her the power of effective
government which resides in the
ultimate recOurse to coercion, will
protest the Sultan being allowed to
ito what every other ruler does. The
right of "A State 70 suppress rebellion,

degree Of severity may seem expe-
dienl, is never questioned save III the
case of the sultan, who is ap Parently

ties by the simple process Of letting
them do as they please. 1t is, al all

insurgents for partial autonomy are
now used as a convenient plea for
further concessions, which would
leave the Porte as little real power
over its unruIy dependency as it has
over Egypt. Now, as then, the
Christians in Crete want either an
npxation to Greece or else a form of
Home Rule, tantamOunt to virtual
independence, in the hope that such
an arrangement would leave them
free to embrace the former alterna-
tive in due time. Unfortunately,
however, for the speedy realisation
of the "HelIenic idea" there is a very
considerable proportion of MuSSuI-
mans in the island who, naturally
enough, desire to continue subject TO
the Sultan, Greading the fate Of their
co religionists in Bulgaria should the
withdrawal of his authority leave
them exposed 60 the vindictive fana-
ticism of their Christian neighbours.
The Porte, unwilling to yield more
han it has already yielded, and
afraid TO use strong measures of
suppression, temporises, with the
inevitable consequence that the mall
contents are encouraged to persevere.
One Governor is superseded by
another; special commissioners are

report attempts ut q compromise are
made; and still the ferment con-
tinues. Now also, as in 1867, it

destitute and panic stricken, and
committees are formed at Athens

On the real merits of the present
dispute it is difficult to pronounce an
opinion, for the simple reason thai
the alleged grievances of the mai,
contents have never been clearly
formulated. AS a matter of practical
politics we do not know that they
need "condescend to particulars at
all, for they have an immense advan-

themselves Christians and hat their
adversary is the "unspeakable

complaint has been made of arbitrery
interference by the Porte or its
representative, or of obstruction 10
the working OF the new institutions.
Even at the crisis of the last Russo
Turkish war, when the Treaty Of
San Sttfano signaIised the helpless
proStration of the Ottoman Empire,
the Cretans made no sign of disaffec-
ton, although, had it been pos
sible to find any fault with their
political lot, that would have been
the time TO do so with effect. If,
therefore, there has been recently
amy misgovernment, it is probable
that the islanders themselves are
responsible and not the Porte, whose
ruling functions are confined 10 the
appointment of a Governor accepta-
bic to the population, and the main
tenance of order by Il small military
force. The only other explanation
is that the discomfort is really of
external, rather than native, origin,
and that if foreign agitators had left
the islanders alone the present trou-
bic would never have reached ii
head. The suspicious a%iacrity with
which the Greek Government has
now come forward to force the hand
of the Powers lends probability to the
latter supposition. In that case we
shall, unless peremptory language OF
prohibition is used by the leading
Continental statesmen, witness a fur
