rxpos.TIoN GROUNDS DEBT.

II would scarcely be anything less than
suicidal for the Common Council to per-
NIT the trustees to foreclose the mortgage
upon the Exposition-Grounds. To sell
that property now when the market for
real estate f. much depressed. would be
10 make a cruel sacrifice OF the interests
OF Richmond, OF the society, and Of the
people generally.
The city 1--WE years ago guaranteed the
interest on $4,000 of per cent. bonds
issued by the society. These bonds the
society now wish to renew. Their request
has been endorsed by the Finance Com
mittee. In the Common Council the ordi-
nance received a majority of the votes
cast, but failed OF passage for want OF
the two-thirds vote required by the
charter.
We cannot but believe that with full
meeting OF the Common Council and upon
full discussion OF the matter the needed
two-thirds vote could be gotten. Indeed,
after having just appropriated $1,000 TO
build a great auditorium on these grounds
for the use OF the people for years TO
come. we cannot imagine how any coun-
Gilman could defend himself If by his
vote he permitted the grounds to pass
out of the control Of the public.
That the city has heretofore had TO
help the society pay the interest on this
bonded debt is a fact, we believe, but the
grounds are now leased out for 5000 per
annum. which sum will pay within $500
of the total annual interest charge. SO
If the society should default. In no event
does the city "stand to lose" as the
saying is, more than $500 per annum. AS
a matter of fact, in view OF the future
that the grounds have as a pleasure park.
1t seems quite improbable that the city
will ever again be called upon to pay
any interest for the society.
Every condition concurs, and every
argument combines TO make 1t plain that
Richmond should endorse the bonds. az
recommended by the Finance Committee.
The city might lose something by forcing
a sale now, but it could lose nothing by
helping the society TO tide over the pres
ent season Of business depression.
In the judgment of many sagacious bust
ness-men, in the course Of one or two
years the society will be able to find a
purchaser of its property at figure far
in advance of the sum total of its in
debtedness. So, let the Common Council
hold a special meeting and concur In the
action of the Board Of Aldermen in agree
Ing 10 the ordinance. We cannot see how
any prudent businessman can doubt the
propriety of such action, since it would
more likely save than lose money for
the city.

THE TROUBLE IN CRETE.

The provocaton for the present dis
turbance in Crete was much less than
that which gave rise to several Of the
previous rebellions on the island. on its
face IT is a protest against the refusal Of
the Sultan of Turkey to reorganize the
system of taxation, convoxe the Cretan
General Assembly. and appoint Chris
tian Governor zen permanence.' This,
however, is only a symptom of the chronic
discomfort of the Cretans with Turkish
rule, and behind their grievances or every
sort is a desire for political union with
Greece, which is a greater stimulus to re-
bellion than the grievances themselves.
Such union has long been put down
as "a part of the plan of the much-talked-
of partition Of Turkey. but the Cretans
seem to think that the time is opportune
for anticipating that partition. Moreover
there are indications that a powerful ele-
ment I'm Greece is of the same mind with
the insurgent Cretans on the subject
Indeed, advices from Athens go so far as
TO state that the Greek nation, the gov
eminent, and the Crown Prince are In
favor of annexing the island to Greece,
seeing that such a favorable chance may
not recur, and that the only obstacle in
the way is the King, who would be 10th
TO do anything that would offend Russia
However. as intimated in these same ad-
vices, 1t does not seem probable that the
King will long be able to resist the Will
Of the nation The Turks in their cam
paign against the insurgents are resort
ing to their usual programme of murder
and rapine. and are arousing sympathy
for the Cretans in Greece that 1t is
thought will force the Greek Government
to decisive steps. The stipulations of the
treaty of Berlin in respect OF Crete have
been as fagrantly violated by the Porte
as have been the stipulations regarding
Armenia, and for that reason, should
Greece interfere on the island in the in
terest of the oppressed Cretans, she would
be entitled TO the support of the Great
Powers. Yet 1t must be confessed that
after the miserable fiasco of these powers
in the matter of protecting the Armenians
there appears little reason to think mat
support would be forthcoming.

The orchard trees are all ablow:
Like downy drifts OF mimic snow
Against the clear blue sky they show.
The fieecy clouds that hurry by
Half pause, as If they think they spy
Some comrades, wandering from the sky.
Beneath the beauty of their bloom.
In heckered space of light and gloom

Down drifting from the laden trees.

THE M'KINLEY SILVER PLANK.

Mr.. Mckinley seems to be the shrewiest
of the Republican leaders. Whilst Re
publicans like Reed, Harrison. and the
rest of the aspirants to the presidency are
charging him with not being sound
on the gold question, his friends are
circulating everywhere the silver plank
Of the last Ohio Republican platform. as
n il was his own nandiwork Here 1t u.s.
1--WE contend for honest money, for
currency of gold, silver, and paper with
which TO measure our exchanges, that
shall be as sound as the government ana
as untarnished as its honor; and, to that
end. we favor bimetallism and demand
the use OF both gold and silver as stand
ard money, either in accordance with
a ratio to be fixed by an international
agreement OF that can be obtained or
under such restrictions and such proVi-
sions to be determined by legislation as
will secure the maintenance or the parity
of values Of the two metals. so that
the purchasing and debt-paying power Of
the dollar. whether silver, gold, or paper,
shall be at all times equal"
Mr.. Mckinley knows how TO straddle,
If he penned the abo'e plank.
The Washington Post comments upon
the above as follows:
''This is quite as definite and stalwart
as the average Republican platform-quite
as much so. we fancy as any the
st. Louis convention is likely TO put forth.
1t no doubt expresses Mr.. Mckinley's
personal attitude and purpose. and may
safely be accepted in that character. We
see State after State instructing for
him in the light OF this utterance, and
its almost upmistakable meaning-why
then. need Mr.. Mckinley trouble himself
to elaborate a proposition already clear
enough?'

RIVER AND HARBOR BILLS.

IL is too late I'm the day to discuss the
constitutionality Of river and harbor bills.
TO do so is TO return over the road which
we have already travelled, and fight over
again battles which were fought many
years ago. Forty years ago this district
was represented in the House OF Repre-
sentatives by man who voted against
making an appropriation 10 improve
James river, or. perhaps. did not vote on
the question at ALL
1t was one of the fundamental principles
of the Democratic party that was con-
cerned-namely, a strict construction OF
the Federal Constitution. This thing of
attaching n too rigid meaning to the
words Of the fathers of the republic has
gradually given way before the teachings
of the more modern Democrats, and we
do not find now n great many persons
who argue for the rigid rules of construc-
tion which were once a part of the creed
of the Democratic party.
The old Wings of the days we have Al
luded 10 were not so strict i'm their con-
rtruction of the Federal Constitution as
were the old Democrats. Perhaps the
ablest Of their Virginia leaders was Hon.
John NJ. Bolts, who was not afraid 10
admit before the people that he con-
sidercd the Wilmot proviso constitutional
lie was a follower of Henry Clay, who
was one of the most liberal Of the states
men of his day in his construction Of the
Federal Constitution.
In his message a few days since re-
turning the river and harbor bill TO Con-
gress without his approval Mr.. Cleveland
proved once more that ne has the courage
of his convictions. AS one of our ex-
changes says. he returned it under the
'most discouraging circumstances" He
knew when he was penning the veto mes
sage that a large majority of the mem
bers Of the two houses of Congress would
vote in favor of overriding the veto. The
fact is, as we have stated, that the people
have outgrown the theory of the fathers
and no longer hold to their teachings.
The President says that many of the
items in the vetoed river and harbor
bill were palpably for the benefit of lin
tied localities or in aid of individual in
terests. Undoubtedly; and II would not be
easy TO frame a bill TO meet the approba-
ton OF Congress which did not contain
items for the benefit of limited localities"
and Sin aid of individual interests"
We have no fault TO find with the Pres-
dent for adhering TO the doctrines which
he sets forth in the message we are con-
sidering. We merely desire TO say a
word in behalf of the large number of
good and true men in both the Senate
and the House OF Representatives who
differ with him in opinion as to the con-
stitutionality of river and harbor bills.
One thing is certain-such bills are every
year becoming more and more popular.

The crowds had begun TO cheer them

Decoration-Day and its Significance
were for the moment forgotten in this
demonstration for free Cuba.
The flag OF the Cuban republic was
never so conspicuously shown in this
city. II held the place Of honor with the
torn battle-hags carried by the veterans
OF our own civil war. The young men
who wore the insurgent dress had been
attached to the Cuba fair In Madison

RICHMOND. VA. June at is believed

THE TWo-THIRDs RULE.

1t is already becoming a question
whether the two-thirds rule will be adopt
ed in the Chicago convention or not
That rule, let il be remembered, does not
apply 10 the ordinary proceedings OF ma
tional conventions. but only to the nomi-
nation OF candidate for President of the
United States. Inasmuch as the sllve.ftes
may fear TO trust their cause in the hands
Of convention in which two-thirds
rule obtains. they may take time by the
forelock, and If they have the strength
may provide against the adoption OF a
twp-thirds rule. TO provide for operating

We some time ago explained the opera

10 the refusal OF the Tilden convention of
1873 TO drop that rule. Truth to say, IL
does look, at first blush. as IL a. majority
vote ought TO suffice either TO make nomi-
necs or TO uphold a platform. But this
point will not be settled before tie 7th

from Madrid. saying that Senior De LONE,
the Spanish Minister. has protested TO
the American Government against the
parading of the Cuban flag in a process

The incident complained of by the
Spanish Minister was nothing less than
the recognition OF squad OF men dressed
as Cuban soldiers. who marched in the
Decoraton-Day parade. bearing aloft the
Cuban flag.
AT first the crowd stared In amazement
al the spectacle. but surprise soon gave
way TO enthusiasm. and the broad ave-
nues through which the Cubans passed
resounded with the cheers OF thousands.
who probably never gave the subject a
thought before.
The fever was catching. so that. when
ever the flag with the single star in a
field OF blue rose up, the crowds hailed IL
with ecstatic cheers and cries OF Cuba
