for the appointment Of appraisers to Tx the

it Is technically faulty; but that Is not the NAN
point at issue The main point Is the contcn-
ton of the opponents of the Boards action that

Judge Lawrcnce's remarks are clear and salts

THE SITUATION IN CRETE.

Really, the Porte seems incOrrigible. When
1t would do good evil Is present with It. The
reforms II undertakes make things worse than
before This Is str1kingly shown in the case or
Crete A fortnight ago the Porte announced
n policy Of Cancellation 1t appointed Chris
tan Governor General, made the former Ma
bometan Governor General the Military Gov
ernOr and revived the Frman of 1878, embody-
ing the provisions Of the Pact Of Halepa. What
more could it do? What more could be de-
sired? Surely peace and contentment would
forthwith be restored to the island. 1t may be
that the Porte was entirely sincere in doing
this and in expecting such results. II 50, that
fac. proves 1t to be incorrigible, hOpelessly I'M
able 10 govern well or to understand the essen
tial principles OF right government.
So far as the Christian Governor-General is
concerned. he Is powerless to effect necessary
reforms He is benevolent hgurehead. that
is ALL His predecessor now made Military
Governor, Is the real power, and he, angry at
being superseded, is using his power to Increase
the trouble Nor was the revival OF the Firman
Of 1878 a bene4icent act, however well meant.
The Pact OF Halepa Is not never was. and never
will be, satisfactory to either the Christians or
the MahOmetans. That was abundantly proven
by the experience or the eleNeH years turing
which It was in force, from 1878 to 1889. More

1t is such conduct Of the Porte that taxes
