the struggle, for although the Greeka
arc poor, they are rich when compared
with the Turks. King George, who is
under the influence of the Russian for
eigr office, seems determined, how
ever, not to risk anything that might
compromise his kingdom and the sta
bility of his shaky throne.
The other European powers are I'M
willing to do anything for the patriots
because the time for the division of Eu-
ropean Turkey has, in the opinion OF
their diplomats, not yet arrived. And
until the advent of thai time the Chris
tan subjects of the sultan will continue
to be murdered in cold blood in spite of
the protests of the people of every civ
ilized nation. In the game of interna-
tional politics, as played by the alleged
statesmen of to-day, the promise of
spoils to come is a more potent factor
than the blood of martyrs and the hon
or of heroic women.
But whatever the diplomats moy say
or do, the poorly-fcd, shabbily-clad pa
triots of Crete will continue the holy
warfare against their Mohammedan OPP
pressors. And the same can be said of
the heroes of Macedonia who are even
now driving the sultan's troops out of
the land of Alexander the Great.
In itself the war in Crete is of trihing
interest to the people of America, but
as it may, any day, lead to IA general Eu-
ropean misunderstanding it is well to
be familiar with the events which led up
to the massacre at Canea. The sympa-
thies of the American nation are with
the brave patriots who, like their IA
theirs and grandfathers before them,
know how to die for liberty and lofty
principles; who, to accomplish great
end, are not tempted by gold or prom
Uses or preferment; who cry out to all
the world the words of Patrick Henry:
Give us liberty or give us DEATH" The
efforts of such men are worthy of our
serious consideration and should have
the prayers of Christian men and wom-
en- everywhere. ......

Lived Like n Pauper, Died Ricn.

Miss Elizabeth b. Cook, of Bridge
port, little hamlet in Fayette county,
Pa, always lived as though she were
pauper. Recently she died without
medical attention or friends present,
and the exact circumstances of her
death are not known. She was found
lying upon the floor some time after
death. DR.. II. j. English was made adj
ministrator, and he got firm of at
torneys to look around and see what her
few effects amounted to. The inventory
of the estate shows that she was the
owner of over 500, 900 of bank stock. She
also had over $685. 900 in cash on deposit,
and was the holder of ten shares of stock
in the Pittsburgh, Virginia d Charles
ton Railroad company. Nearly $4,000
in gold coin and 500 in silver coin and
bank notes were found sealed up tight
in an old fruit can IN her home after
her death. The property will go to
nephews. nieces, and grand-nephews
and grand nieces.-Philadelph Times

treasury at Athens has been compelled,
by popular clamor. to assist Ehe rebel
lious islanders with cash and provi-
sions. The present premier of Greece.
NJ. Delyannis, is trying very hard to
continue policy of neutrality in the
Cretan question, but the chances are
that, unless Turkey is willing to mako
far-reaching concessions, he will be
forced to recede from his position.
There is no doubt that the porte will
no longer be averse to granting partial
self-governmcnt to Crete, but the pa
triots have been deceived so often by
their oppressors that reforms which
would have been hailed with delight a
few years ago are no longer attractive.
Like the Cubans, they are fighting for
complete independence and eventual
annexation to Greece.
Should the Athens government con-
clude to comply with the popular de-
mand and interfere in favor of the pa
tlsots, Turkey would have to give up

They Hem the Poor Man About on Every
Hand.
There are inhabited house duties. in
come tax, land tax, probate tax, legacy
duty, succession duty, estate duty,
birth end death certificates, marriage
licenses, licenses for certain businesses,
and duties on certain manufactures.
Locomotion is disadvantages, cabs
and omnibuses all requiring licenses
and even the trains pay railway duty
on first and second-class passengers.
In the matter If liquids, beer and spjr-
it's incur both duties and licenses,
wine, tea and coffee pay customs duty,
and for water there is the rate. Dried
fruits are subject to customs dues. Lii
censts are required for the use of ar
moral bearings on carriages, plate,
jewelry and notepaper; for the sale of
patent medicines, and keeping male
servants-Susau, in her neat cap and
apron, however, is duty free, ''for which
RELIEF, much thanks" as Hamlet says.
Dogs, little and big, we all know, are
taxed.
Tobacco is dcubly taxed, there being
d manufacturing duty anu retail ~
cense. The vendors Of jewelry contain
ing a certain proportion of the precious
metals must be armed with gold or
silve2 plate license. One must not shoot
game or sell it without special licenses,
and 10 blaze away at the humble spar
row entails gin tax. An cndeavor TO
"lighten our darkness" involves the gas
rate. Uncle who receives a family
plate or jewelry in pledge has to be pro-
videG with both pawnbroker's and plate
certificates. The clergy are entitled to
certain fees for the burial of their
parishioners. When the burial is in q
Gene terry, the chaplain attached to it
performs the service. After paying mis-
salary, the established ministers collect
the balance of the fees for themselves,
thus levying q tax on every corpse in
their parishes. Thus the poor man is
hemrped in on all sides by taxation.

tion-all make separate revenue de
