THE FATE OF CRETE.

Now that peace between Turkey ana
Greece peace with dishonor TO the POW
ers--is an accomplished fact, the question
| arises. what Is 10 become OF Crete. the
original cause Of al the rumpUs? IL we
may judge from the way the Powers have
broken faith with Greece in the matter
OF the peace negotiations between the
Sultan and the Greeks, Crete's last estate
promises 10 be worst than her first.
As respects the Graeco Turkish treaty.
aside from ignoring the guarantees of the
Berlin Congress the concert have grossly
and shemefuly violated their pledges
made 10 Greece at the outbreak OF the
war. They have allowed the Great Assas-
sin TO retain all the strategic advantages
he asked for--strateglc advantages that
put aim IN position TO crush Greece al
any mornent-and in CONFIRMATION Of the
prece6elts OF centuries have given the
Turks permission 10 hold a Christian peo-
pie In pawn, and that, too for an amount
II is probable they will never be able to
pay.
Although at various times one or more
Of the Great Powers have, for the purpose
of maintaining the European equilibrium
or forestallng the aggression Of some
other Power OF Powers, co-operated with
Turkey in her wars, ever since IN 1853.
when the crescent was planted over st.
Sophia, the general policy of Christendom
has been TO treat the Turk as barbarian
nterloper, who was finally to be driven
out OF Europe. For some two hundred
years Turkey, even by the Powers with
which she has had alliances on occasions
has been made to understand that she
existed as a political! organism, TO De
used by one or another of the Christian
nations as exigencies might demand; that
she had no actual treaty making rights
Of her own, and that a certainty Of the
future was that the clock would Strike
for her partition. 1t has been well safe |
that ii was left for the concert of the |
end of the nineteenth century 10 invite |
a Sultan Of Turkey to sit down on terms |
Of equality with Christian Powers at the |
conference table of civilization.
And Abdul Hamid, having been thus |

virtually dictated his own terms as re-
CARDS the settlement with Greece. As re-
spects Crete he now proposes that the |
affairs Of the island shall be administered |
by Turkish Governor appointed by him
self, and that Turkish troops shall assist
those of the Powers in restoring order
This would be in violation Of his Cwn
pledges and the guarantees of the Powers
to the Cretans. But as the Sultan knows
that the same jealousy one of another OF
the Powers that prevented their settling
the CretaG trouble In its incipiency, and
enabled him 10 have his own way as ic-
CARDS the Graeco-Turkish treaty, still ex-
lists, there Is every reason TO fear another
Knocking 10 him by the con
cert. What might be the final result OF
this knuckling one shudders TO contem-
plate, considering the past cruelties OF the
Turk in Crete. the immunity
Turkey has enjoyed from punishment for
the Armenian atrocities, and the eclat
those atrocities have given Abdul Hamid

The Washington Star says: "War
against an armed foe is terrible. and is
always intended so 10 be, but war against
the helpless, such as General Weyler has
been wagng against the non-combatants
in Cuba. is without a vestige of excuse
among civilized people" All of which is
true. But doesn't the Star remember the
famous, or rather Infamous, Order No.
II, issued by General Ewing in Missouri,
during the war between the States in this
country, by which the women and chill
dren of a large rural section of that State
were driven into the cities and their
homes razed? Has it forgotten that Gene
raj Hunter burned the houses of the wo-
men and children in Virginia over heir
neads or General Sheridan's heartless re-
port about his work in the Valley, or the
twenty miles wide swath OF fire and
rapine that General Sherman cut through
Georgia, and his order driving the women
and children Of the Confederate soldiers
OF Atlanta out of that city and into the
desolate wilderness into which he had
transformed a large portion of that state?
The administration thick and thin sup
porter in Washington should know that
II Is not wise for people who live in glass
houses TO throw stones.-The Alexandria

that General Grants inhumane order for

in the Cuban war. Talking about war
against the helpless" who could have
been more helpless than the thousands
whom Grant left to sicken and die in
military prisons?
The STANDARDS and Cubans may not be
conducting a very civilized warfare, but
II will well bear comparison with many
things done for "Old Glory" and to save

The violins were laughing all the while
My german favor was white Pierrot;
And, with the most intoxicating smile,
She gave me Columbine-his girl, you

We danced a grave and stately measure
through,
She wooed my heart by every subtle

And with her eyes she vowed she loved
me, too
The violins were laughing all the while
I said: "Were you a picture on tile.
I'd worship you from morn till night!'
The violins were laughing all the while
We're / a picture, sir" she said. you

True Americanism.

Behold what a great fire little
matter kindleth! Senator Summers
speech on the Alabama question, which
excited only passing notice here at
that time, set all England ablaZe. The
reason of this is plain. The English
people have been constantly deceived
by Americans travelling In that coun-
try as to the real state of feeling to-
ward them in the United States. There
are but few Americans who are repub-
licans or democrats to the core; and
when they go abroad and dine at the
tables of English monarchists they
shed their Americanism with alacrity,
and toady to the ignorance and big
otry OF their entertainers, and assever-
ate that the warmest fraternal feelings
are cherished by the people of the Unit
ed States for their English brethren"
whereas the fact is, there is a strong
and deep-seated feeling in America of
resentment or hostility to Great Brit
ain. Do not misunderstood us. We
are not for war with any nation; on
the contrary, we are for building up
this nation in wealth. in civilization, in
refinement, in political strength, In mil
itary power, in all things that go to
make us broad and tall and great; and
then we are for having this nation, in
the majesty of its might, stand for
peace, for humanity and a common
brotherhood. Is there not at last, to
be realized on earth the conception of
missionary nation-a people too
great and too numerous to be anything
else but magnamimous and kind and
loving? Let us give the pulsations Of
the mighty heart OF this nation to the
welfare of the world, and settle all pet
ty national quarrels in spirit charac-
teristic of a generous and mighty
people.-New York Ledger.

troops among us; for protecting them,
by mock trial, from punishment for
any murders which they should COM
NIT on the inhabitants of these states;
for cutting off our trade with all parts
OF the world; for imposing taxes on us
without our consent; for depriving us,
in many cases, of the benefits OF trial
by jury; for transporting us beyond
seas to be tried for pretended offenses
for abolishing the free system of Eng
lish laws in a neighboring province,
establishing therein an arbitrary gov
eminent, and enlarging its boundaries,
so as to render ii at once an example
and fit instrument for introducing the
same absolute rule into these colonies;
for taking away our charters, abolish
ing our most valuable laws, and alter
ing, fundamentally, the forms of our
governments; for suspending our own
legislatures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legislate for us
in all cases whatsoever. He has abb
dictated government here, by declaring
us out Of his protection, and waging
war against us. He has plundered our
seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our
towns, and destroyed the lives of our
people, He is at this time transporting
large armies Of foreign mercenaries to
complete the works OF death, desola-
ton and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances OF cruelty and perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most bar
barous ages, and totally unworthy the
head of a civilized nation. He has con-
strained our fellow citizens, taken cap
tive on the high seas, to bear arms
against their country, to become the
executioners of their friends and
brethren. or to fall themselves by their
hands. He has excited domestic insur-
rections among us, and has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our
frontiers the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare is an un
distinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes and conditions. In every stage of
these expressions we have petitioned
for redress in the most humble terms

nounces our separation, and hold them.

We, therefore, the representatives
OF the United States OF America, in

TO the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude OF our intentions, do, in
the name and by the authority of the
good people OF these colonies, sol
EMMY publish and declare, that these
united colonies are, and OF right ought
TO be, free and independent states; that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all po-
litical connection between them and
the state of Great Britain is and ought
to be totally dissolved: and that. as
free and independent states, they have
full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and do all other acts and
things which Independent states may
OF right do. And for the support OF
this declaration, with firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor. JOHN HANCOCK,
