The general interest in the athletic
contests in Greece has brought out. in
almost every newspao ger of the coun-
try, some reference to the familiar quo
tation, which is supposed to read:
When Greek meets Greek, then comes
the tug Of war.',,,sIt is easy to find in
Vulnerable applications of this to the
new Olympian games, and the para
graphers have twisted it into all sorts
of shapes except the right one. Mr.. N.
P. Langford, of this city, who has
deserved reputation for literary accu-
racy, calls, attention to the fact that
not only is the quotation always given
improperly, but the current YER
sion of it means exactly the opposite
of the original. AS printed above, it
means, of course. that when one Greek
meets another in hostile combat the
struggle must be deadly. AS the lines
were written, they read: When Greeks
join Greeks, then is the tug of war"
This means that, although the di-
visions and jealousies between the diff
ferent Greek states might lead to their
easy downfall, yet when they Were
harmonious, and Greeks stood side by
side in harmony with Greeks, then, in
deed, could their united forces bid de-

porary gain from such dishonest meth
DDS would be more than offset by sub
sequent losses; and, as his address
shows, he knows that there are laws of
money and of business that are as i'm
mutable as is any law Of nature, viola
ton of which entails Inevitable pun
ishment. The policy of honesty is re-
inforced by the historical experience of
men out of which these laws have
been spelled.
Mr.. Greenes address is replete with
the common sense OF the man of bust
ness. 1t goes to the bottom, rests on
the fundamental facts. Trade existed
before money. Money is born of the
necessities of trade, and is simply its
instrument" 1t was not invented to
pay debts with, but to buy other prop

a definite. measurable, measured and

you are willing to exchange your prop

A BUSINESS MANS VIEW.

While we are having the money ques-
ton presented to us from the side of
the banker and the demagogue, the
debtor and the creditor, the business
man of the shops and the business man
of the silver mines, until Col. Greene,
president of the Connecticut Mutual
Life insurance company, present
ed his address to the board
of trade of Hartford, we have
not seen how the proposition to
admit to free coinage a metal at about
half its legal or mint value strikes a
man whose occupation is the care Of
the money whence must come the pro-
vision made by prudent fathers for the
wife and children after the breadwin-
ners shall have dropped their loads
While the demagogue is ranting about
the debt-paying power of money and de-
handing that it be doubled, what is
the position taken by this head of
great insurance company with debts
maturing and contingent, mounting
into the hundreds of millions. and with
invested millions to meet the obliga-
tons when death natures them?
Surely here is an institution that, if
mere cupidity is to rule human con-
duct, might be expected to approve Of
a policy that would decrease one-half
the value of it's debts. If it could con-
vert the sixty millions of gold obliga-
lions due it into twice the quantity of
silver dollars or certificates with which
to meet death losses, there would be
100 per cent gain in it. But Mr. Greene
is too able and we'll informed a bust

REEDS WEAKNESS.

The development of strength by the
dacy is scarcely more marked than
the exhibition of weakness in Mr.. Reeds
campaign. There is no enthusiasm for
him anywhere outside Of a small area
in New England. 1t was supposed at
the outset that he would divide pretty
evenly the honors with the Ohio pro-
tectionist. Instead of that, he has barely
succeeded in dividing some Southern
are in a cave of gloom. 1t is reported
from Washington that he is exceed
ingly unpopular in the house and
among politicians generally, and his
announcement that he will not in
any event, return to congress after the
expiration of this term is accepted as
a practical retirement from public life.
This was foreseen a year ago by those
who understood Mr.. Reeds peculiari-
ties, and knew that he would have the
trying task of filing the speakers
chair during a session of congress lust
preceding national campaign. twas
impossible for man Of Mr.. Reeds
temperament to do this without Great
ing a host Of malcontents.
The big, burly speaker of the house
varies between the bully and the syco.
plant. No man is better qualified than
he to override the rights of minority,
spurn with contempt the limitations
OF parliamentary procedure, and drive
relentlessly over opposition, when he
holds the reins. But such
man is particularly helpless when
the situation calls for a display
Of the judicial temperament. When
Mr.. Reed made up his list of COM
mittees, his inability to cope with the
situation was clear. The assignment
Of chairmanships was so palpably a
bid for political support in the states
where he hoped to develop greatest
strength as to dissatisfy everybody,
From the moment that the house was
called to order down to the present
time, nobody would have recognized in
its speaker the "czar" of the jolly old
days. He has temporized and hest
tated and cast lots for the choice of
eXpediencies, and shown himself alto
gether the most anxious and insincere
of politicians. He has offended all
parties. He has acquired the reputa-
ton Of a gold-bug on one side, by the
action of the house on the free coin
age substitute for the bond bill. and
the reputation Of free siIverite in
other quarters, by his refusal to go
personally on record upon this issue.
This hurts Mr.. Reed more than it
would any other man. His capital
consisted mainly in a popular impress
sion that, however wrong he may be-
he had the courage to face any emer-
gency. and beat down opposition with
relentless hand. This has been pretty
thoroughly destroyed by his last term
OF service as speaker. There is moth
ing to recommend him particularly to
his party; while a whole army of Re-
publicans, who think that their per-
sonal interests or the party's chances
have been injured by him, are unwill-
ing to advance his candidacy. Those

long ago that he was unequal to anv

AN ALARMIsT TONE.
Situation In MatabeIcIand Is Again
Regarded as Serious

Regarded as Serious
LONDON, April I1.-Advices received by
the Times regarding the situation in Mata-
beleland again take a rather alarmist tone.
A Buluwayo dispatch to the Times says:
The whole of the Matabele nation has risen,
and men in strong cooperative columns will
be required to clear the country. 1t is i'm
possible to act except on the defensive with
small PATROLS
In reply to question in the house of
commons tonight, Mr.. Chamberlain an
nounced that the government was prepared
to reinforce the garrisons in Cape Colony
and Natal If Gov. Sir Hercules Robinson
considered it necessary. Up to the present
time, however, Mr. Chamberlain added, Gov.
Robinson discouraged such a step, on the
ground that the local forces will suffice to
suppress the uprising in Matabeleland.
The under secretary for foreign affairs, re-
plying to public questions, declined on pub
lie grounds to give any information as to
the intentions of Italy in regard to Kas-
sala, and also refused to make public any
details concerning the movements of the
Egyptian forces up the Nile.
ROME, April 10.-The defeat of the Italians
at Tucruf. the real extent of which still re-
mains concealed, seems likely to be the
preface to the taking of Kassala. This place
has been vigorously attacked. The Fanfulla

House Republicans VIII Discuss the
Pending Immigration Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Mr. Grosvenor,
chairman Of the Republican caucus of the
house, has called caucus for tomorrow night.
1t was called at the written request of mem
bers interested in the passage of an immigra-
ton bill. No other subject will come up, Mr..
Grosvenor says.
Two immigration bills have been reported
from the house committee on immigration,
one Of which was drawn by Mr.. Call CMass.),
and provides for the educational test for i'm
migrants. The other, drawn by w. A. Stone,
Of Pennsylvania, requires consular certificates
Of the qualifications of would-be immigrants
for their admission to this country. Recent
reports from the immigration officials in New
York that the tide of immigration has greatly
increased during the past five months and
that the quality Of the immigration is most
undesirable, have aroused some of the Re-
publican leaders to action. The caucus is
called to determine whether the Republicans
will take up the immigration question, and
what plans, If any, they will adopt.

corning the Imprisonment Of Mrs. Maybrick.

would insist on a vote on it, Mr.. Sherman
insisted on his motion to table. He said he
happened to be in England when Mrs Nav

she ought to be convicted. But, certainly. It
was not a subject to be brought up in the

asked for roll call, and then began a speech
in opposition. Thereupon, Mr.. Sherman said
