n the lesson likely to be taken 10 heart by
the Greeks and Bulgarians, who constitute
the bulk OF the inhabitants Of Macedonia
proper, and, indeed, Of the whole region
stretching from the northern border Of
Thessaly TO Constantinople. The natives Of
that extensive tract which represents all,
with the exception OF Albania, that is left
Of Turkey in Europe, need only follow the
example Of the Cretans to attain the same
measure Of success. Let them rise en- p,asse,
and nothing could withhold the Greek and
much more efficient support than the Cretans
nave received. The fleets of the Sultan's
protectors would be powerless to avert the
despatch of aid to the insurgents across the
Thessalian and Bulgarian frontiers the
utmost that they could do would be to
blockade the Pireus, for the public opinion
OF Europe would never tolerate the bonn
bardment Of Athens by Christian warships
in the interest Of the u~nspeakablc Turk. A
mere blockade of the Pireus would not
avail to quench the spirit Of the Greek peo-
pie, and the dynasty itself would be imper-
illed should King GEORGES Government per.
init Itself to be ~browbeaten by the powers.
II is the effect of its example that renders
the practical triumph Of the Cretan insur-
rection an event OF momentous bearing
upon the Eastern question. Not even by
acting in concert are the great powers any
longer certain of controlling its solution.
The problem may at last be solved by the
Christian subject populations themselves.

The Chief OF Police.

The Police Commission of this CITY IA
in n condition wholly anomalous. The
Chief Of Police, or Head Policeman, has
criticised publicly the Boar Of Commits

insulting. A cruder breach Of the subordi.

rational conduct of a force like the police
IL would he difficult to find, short of the
Chiefs actually striking at his superiors
with his hand. His offence il intrinsically
so gross that all differing views as TO the
merits Of the boards members or policies
or organization must be suppressed before
the fact that an insult Of this nature to the
Police Commissioners insults the city at
large. No department Of the city Govern.
ment can be treated in the manner in which
Chief CoNLIN has treated Mr.. ROOSEVELT or
his colleagues, without the affront passing
on to the inhabitants Of the town In general.
Against the effort in the board. however.
to deal with CoNLIN rs the case demands
very imperatively that he should be dealt
with, two OF the four Commissioners, PAR.
KER and GRANT, stand in blunt opposition.
There is no use in wasting words over Com.

appreciate sufficiently the absurd incon.
gruity between his vote for CoNLIS and the
statement in the Times. He belongs to the
man who gets him, and that man this time
is Commissioner PARKER, whose clearness
OF understanding is beyond question.
Upon Commissioner PARKER must lie the
responsibility of protecting the Chief of
Police in an attitude of presumptuous in.
subordination. calculated to degrade the

II he viii think. again, he must see the
utter impossibility Of the situation which
he for the moment sustains.
Tho Case OF Mr.. Scott.

According to Mr.. G. w. SCOTT, who, at
Consul General LKK's demand, has been re-
leased from solitary confinement, and al
lowed to communicate with friends, he was
arrested on the charge OF "having q set Of
Cuban republic stamps In his possession"
It appears hat he is in the employ Of a
Havana corporation, the Electric Light and
Gas Company, and that collecting stamps
II one Of his pastimes. He denies hat a
set Of Cuban republic stamps will be found
In the album which the authorities seized,
although he admits that he would like to
have one. But, at most, the offence might
recall that of a Union soldier having Con-
ederate money in his possession, n some
soldiers had 1t almost by the hatful.s
Is 1t credible that on such n charge, true
or false, the son Of American parents could
be shut up in solitary confinement for two
weeks in q cell eleven feet by five, with a
most meagrc supply Of food and water
There had been, at the latest accounts, no
charge formulated against him, so that he
10 forced to conjecture that the ridiculous
suspicious or differences based on the stamp
album are the cause Of his being treated
like an assassin, since he protests that he
has no interest in Cuban politics.
IL Is such incidents and experiences, but
especially some of more tragic character,
that are provoking the inquiry how much
longer our Government Is to endure Span.
ish brutality toward those who should be
under American protection.

Secretary OLNEy, at the latest accounts,
had not transmitted TO the Government Of
Greece the resolution of sympathy adopted
by the Senate q week ago. On the contrary,
II Is said that he refuses TO allow the reso-
luton to go through the channels Of the
Department of State.
Here, then, appears to be still another
case in which the deliberately expressed
opinions Of the United States Senate, put
into the form Of resolutions. are treated by
Mr.. OLNEY only as the over oficlous and
laundering forthputtings Of sundry emf.
nent gentlemen, to be pigeon-holed or
thrown into the waste basket when they
reach the Department Of State duly certi-
fed, instead of being forwarded through its
channels to foreign Governments.
1t Is true that the resolution relating to
Crete contained no request to the President
or direction to the Secretary that II should
be forwarded to the Government Of Greece /:
but the purpose Of sending a certified
copy to Mr.. OLSEY was obvious. Since,
however, he declared beforehand that he
would not forward to Spain the Cameron
resolution acknowledging Cuban independ.
ence, IL passed, perhaps it should not be
surprising to find him now similarly dis
posed in regard to the Cretan resolution.
this were the beginning instead Of the
end OF the Cleveland Administration
there might be a grave struggle over rights
and courtesies In these matters; but, as the
case stands, Mr.. CAMERON maj content
himself with seeing that an official COPY of
the resolution gets somehow to the Greek
Government, while, Of course. the whole
moral effect Of the resolution, both
at Athens and elsewhere. has been Sc.
cured by its passage through the ordinary
channels Of the worlds news. To that ex.
tent notification Of the Senate's action by
the Executive Department is impossible, al.
though some serious precedents have been
created and the spectacle of Congress and
the Executive at cross-purposes in the front
they present to foreign countries is any.

But tho Senate Foreign Committee cele.
brated the second anniversary Of Cuba's

The New Administration and Cubs.

Although the President elect seems to
keep his counse az to his foreign policy, II
is safe to say that Spain has more to fear
hope than II ever had a right to fear or hope
from his predecessor.
Indeed the patriot cause could not we'll be
worse of in its relations with any American
President than with Mr.. CLEVELAND. 1t is
not conceivable that the newAdministration
will block any policy that Congress may
suggest regarding the revolution. We can.
not suppose, for example, that, II it should
renew the resolution Of last year, passed al.
most unanimously by both houses. de.
claring that the belligerency of Cuba
should he recognized, and that the
President should negotiate with Spain for
peace on the basis Of the independence Of
the island. this resolution would be liz.
nored rs CLEVELAND has ignored II. We
cannot imagine Secretary SHERMAN an.
nouncing in Id ancc that IL a resolution
acknowledging the independence OF Cuba
should he passed, he would treat It not only
as folly but as not binding on him.
There will be, in short, a change Of atti.
tudc and atmosphere. Spain will no longer
feel that she has a bulwark in the Admins.
tration between herself and Congress.
Neither Mr.. CLEVELAND nor Mr.. OLNEY
ever served in Congress, whereas both Mr..
SHERMAN and Mr.. MCKINLEY nave been
members of that body too long to re-
gard i; as Il burden OH their hands in
their coming duties. They will regard it
rather as the body OF authorized represen.
taiivcs Of public opinion, and they will
look, alike in foreign n domestic policy,
to It's committees and It's ablcst men for
suggestions, and to the perfected action Of
Congress for guidance and direction.
In the current matter of the release of
JULIO sASGUILY may be found some clue
