CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

There seems to be general agree
ment In England that the chief reason
why the powers refuse to join in action
against the Porte is jealousy OF Great
Britain. probably stimulated. as we
pointed out the other day, by her occu-
patton of Egypt. Russia appears more
than any other power to be an obstacle
to any sort of union. but Germany is
not far behind. Her reluctance to move
is probably a tradition of Bismarck S
policy in 1877, when he said he was no
willing to risk a single Pomeranian
grenadier on behalf of the Bulgarians
The whole situation is so clearly a con
sequence of past British policy that
might almost form the subject of a
course of college lectures. For sixty
years, in fact one might almost say
ever since the battle of Waterloo. Rus
sia has been treated as the one historic
enemy of Great Britain. She took the
place of France, almost Immediately
after the peace of 1915, as the power
whom true-born Britons were bound to
hate and suspect, and, down to the Cri
mean war and the Indian mutiny, the
British press teemed with exposures of
her designs on British India.
We are now witnessing one of the re-
suits of half a century of carefully cul
tivated hatred and distrust The pro-
posal of the late Emperor Nicholas, in
1852, to treat Turkey as a sick man,
and take charge of his effects by agree
ment with England, one of the sanest
state papers of this century, would as
we now see, have been an incalculable
benefit to mankind It was peremp-
torily rejected, and treated as a proof
of Nicholas depravity, and an alliance
against him was promptly entered into
with one of the paltriest of adventure
ers. A hundred thousand lives were
sacrificed in the Crimean war, a thou
sand million dollars spent in behalf OF
the monstrous and inhuman despotism
called the Porte In twenty years not a
vestige of its results remained, and the
Porte had gone steadily down hill in
the interval Once more, in 1878, Eng
land armed to save Turkey, and Lord
Salisbury brought back from Berlin a
bundle of lies and deceptions as to
what he and Disraeli had done to sc
cure reform in Turkey. He has con-
fessed within a year that the whole
thing was an elaborate delusion; that
not only have no reforms been made
in Turkey, but that the Sultan may
massacre all Christian subjects FOL
/ anything Great Britain can do to pre-
vent him. If any professor or lecturer
wishes to point the moral of Washing
/ tons solemn warning against cultivat
i ing any international hates anC
/ against allowing our own selfish inter
ests to dominate our foreign policy, h'
/ will find nothing better than the his
| tory of the relations of England anC
Russia during the past seventy years.

oELIcAClEs OF GREENLAND.

nomic Luxury.
Greenlanders have no regular meal
times, but eat when they are hungry.
They seem able to 60 without food for
remarkably long period and also to
eat at a sitting the most astonishing
quantity. Among their principal dain-
ties is the skin Of different kinds Of
whales They call it matak, and look
upon it as the acme of deliciousness. 1t

next to it and is eaten raw without cere.
mony. An arctic explorer, In his recent
work, declares that he must offer the
Eskimo his sincerst congratulations on
the invention Of the dish.
II can assure you-the reader-that
now. as write of it my mouth waters
at the very thought Of matak, with its
indescribably delicate taste of nuts and
oysters mingled. And then it has this
advantage over oysters, that the skin is
as tough as india rubber to masticate,
so that the enjoyment can be protracted
to any extent.
"Of vegetable food the primitive
Greenlander used several sorts. may
mention angelica. dandelions, sorrel,
crowberries, bilberries and different
kinds of seaweed.
zone the greatest delicacies is the
contents of a reindeer's stomach. If a
Greenlander kills reindeer and is un-
able to convey much Of it home with
him, he will, ! believe, secure the stom-
ach first of all and the last thing an
Eskimo lady enjoins upon her lover
when he sets of reindeer hunting is
that he must reserve for her the stomach
of his prey.
"It is no doubt because they stand in
need of vegetable food that they prize
this so highly and also because it is in
reality a very choice collection of the
finest moss and grasses which that gor-
mand, the reindeer, has picked out for
himself. 1t has undergone sort OF
stewing in the process of semidigestion,
while the gastric juice provides a some.

GIRLS QUEER ELECTION

Now is the time of curious election
bets and otherwise, and many queer
wagers are coming to light. One young
woman, who is well-known in VIII
mington, INDUCED in a political argu-
ment with a young man which culmi-
mated in a wager that she would wear
her grandmother's gown for several
squares if Mckinley be elected. The
gown in question is of fine silk, but of
the fearful and wonderful construction
of 1924.
Another young woman, who is conf
dent of Bryan's election, has made a
more remarkable wager with a man
friend. She is a college graduate. is
rich, handsome and vivacious. She has
beautiful curly auburn hair, and this
she has wagered against the young
mans mustache. The proposition stag
gered the young man for a moment, as
he is very fond of his lip adornment,
but he ultimately accepted the bet.

THE BEELzEBuB MEDAL.

For lie out of the whole cloth the
following Wilmington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Inquirer takes the Beelze-
bub gold medal:
Candidate Bryan's attack upon
clergymen as a class, during his speech
at the Auditorium on Monday, has cost
him a large number of votes. Mr.
Bryan said in effect that more bitter
ness had been shown by ministers Of
the gospel, as a class, against the ad-
vocates of free silver than had been
shown by the politicians on the plat
form, and that it was not that they had
so much attacked free silver as that
they had shown their general disre-
gard for the interests of the people He
said the ministers were in league with
the monopolists, that they lived in
ease, opulence and luxury; that they
were unacquainted with and had no re-
gard for the condition and welfare Of
their fiocks; that such a position was
not one which ministers of the gospel
ought to occupy.
"That they should be ready and anx-
ious to give their fellow-men a help
ing hand; that ministers should be
made to feel that It was a part of their
duty to share the burdens of the needy
ones OF the congregation; that they
had, however, no regard for the con-
dition of their people, thinking solely
of their own comfort and condition;
that they were in their work for what
they got out of II, and that the minis
ters made up a selfish class He also
said more along that line"
This is what Mr.. Bryan said regard
ing ministers, all he said and the order
in which he said IL:
"You will find in our cities preachers
OF the gospel enjoying every luxury
themselves who are Indifferent to the
cries of distress which come up from
the masses of the people. 1t was said
of a princess of a foreign land, when
some one said to her THE people are
crying for bread that she replied
why don't they eat cakeY Tell some
of these ministers of the gospel thai
men out OF work are driven to crime
and they can't understand why every
one is not as we'll of as themselves
When / have seen preachers Of the
gospel using even more bitter speecl
than politicians against the clamoringl
i Of the people, i have wondered wher'
they got their religion that the.
! preached.
Compare this with the statemen
contained in the above clipping frCn
the Philadelphia Inquirer and you hav'
fair sample OF the abuse and mis-
representation to which Mr. Bryan Il
subjected by the Republican and bolt
ing Democratic press of the East
