CIVILIZATION OUTRAGED.

The coercive measures contemplated
by the powers toward Greece and Crete
disgrace and outrage civilization, but
more stain the escutcheon Of England
than that of any other nation. Of Eng
land We had a right to expect better
things, and reflection of the better SEN
timent of the English people. But that
to which England has now agreed-if
indeed she did not propose it's the
crowning disgrace of the age.
That nation, as we'll as the other
powers, has known just what would
happen in the Mediterranean for more
than a year, but it took no steps
to meet the occasion, did nothing what
ever to restrain the cruel hand of the
Turk, and nothing to render the inter-
vention of Greece unnecessary This
very fact makes its present infamy
the more infamous. The Fresno Re
publican" we'll and forcibly puts it
when it says:
These great powers have remained
Christians have been slaughtered by
the bloodthirsty Mohammedans, hut
when weak but brave nation rises in
defense of it's oppressed brothers on a
neighboring island, not a fortnight
passes until the warships of the Chris
tian nations are swarming to the de-
fense of the Musselman butchers, an,
the first gun is fired from an English
ship
If Freedom shrieked when Kosciusl, :,
fell, surely Justice groaned in mortal
agony when an English gun belchcd
forth it's defiance to Greciah patriots
and it's approval of Turkish brutality
and tyranny. If there ever was a time
when sack-cloth and ashes We're fitting
raiment for. any people, that time has
come to the rulers of the Christian ma
tions of the old world.
But these Christian nations will not
put on sack and ashes. They will,
on the contrary, attempt to justify
their conduct and back such justifica-
ton with arms. But while selfish in
terests may for a time prevail; while
the greed of commerce, the timidity of
trade and the jealousy of politicians
may temporarily succeed, it will be only
for time. The democratic spirit is as
surely gaining ground in Europe as the
sun shines. 1t may not result in pull
ing down thrones or the raising up Of
republics, but it must, unless civiliza-
ton is a lie and the minds of men are
wholly slavish, work to an end that will
make rulers, cabinets and councils re-
fleet the best thought and the highest
motives of enlightened peoples
There is not an intelligent German
or a thinking Englishman who does not
feel that human sympathy is of right
with Greece and Crete, and that h.I-
man action ought to reflect it. Practi-
cally the Governments of those nations
and their people stand apart in Thought
of and policy concerning the Ottoman
empire. This is an anamolous condi-
ton that cannot endure. On the great
questions which make and unmake ma
tions the thought of the people must in
the end find expression through Official
heads. Unless this is true, then Kings
and Cabinets are greater than their
makers, and the people instead of be-
ing substructural to government are
but incidents of it. That proposition
in governmental philosophy in this en-
lightened age no civilized human being
will venture to maintain.

When the last census was taken the

the prisoners in our State Prisons were
under 80 years of age. OF the II. 534
12,025 were too young to be voters. If
the same proportion still exists, what

tion is not a matter of maturity but
of youth. What We need to do then is
to look into the causes which lead so
many young men into convict cells
We do not think we will have far to
search. Corrupting literature, the dram
shop and criminal parentage have more
to do with the lamentable fact than
lack of employment or desperation:
more TO do with the making of conyicts

literature of the day responsible for
corruption of youth? Far more than
is generally conceded. The current lit

THE AVERAGES.

The Providence Grays have a chance
vet for the flag in the Eastern league,
If they can only get the best or the
home clubs on the present trip, the nm
ish will be a hot one.
The clubs are well punched together'
the fight being the closest In the MS
tory OF the league.
The Grays have at times played rath-
er erratic ball and were IL not Tor tnat
fact the team would now be at the top
in it's old place. But there Is yet time
10 make the finish in record time ana
II the Rhode Island team once gets the
pole IL will hold IL 10 the end.
The club which has the pole on the
last heat will probably hold it,. as the
second or third clubs will probably fnd
themselves pocketed on account OF the
bunch at the finish. 1t will be no easy
matter for any of the teams to cut loose
from the field and make an easy finish.
The players are In good condition ana
there is no reason whatever why they
should not end the season in one, two,
three order. The records of the men

SLURS TEN EYCK.

LONDON. July 26.-The Field in
referring to the victory of T.. III. Ten
Eyck. the American oarsman who won
the diamond sculls at the Henley re-
gatta, says:
THE jubilee has been sTgnalized on
the water by the advent OF foreign
sculler, who. by favor of the Hen.ey
committee. has been allowed to give all
the amateurs at Henley a specim-n or
| rowing of a true professional style, to
the utter disgrace of that festival"
The Field then proceeds TO recount it's
previous objections to Ten Eyck and his
proceedings here. and denounces the com
mittec. which it declares. lis incapable
of taking a broad. statesmanlike view
of the matter and splits straws over the
difference between bona fide and q for

and allowed him to rows
The Field contends that the committee
ought TO have taken advantage OF the
rule which empowers il 10 refuse any
entry up to the starting time without
being bound TO assign any reason FOR
doing so, which course would have
avoided all scandal.

says Ten Eyck was very lucky in draw

GOLF RULES.
Many Perplexities over New Rulings and

Some of the new golf rules are puzsling
and perplexipg. Objections and counter
objections have been hurled back and
forth. but in defining some Of the little
points during u game, common sense and
good Judgment ore needed TO interpret the
tccbnicalitics impartislly, for cases will
continually arise which must be treated
upon their own merits. The question OF
long grass, which has been bothering
some golfers, has finally been settled. The
committee has made the ruling that long
grass IL not a hazard, rs getting into long
grass IL practically rs bad rs the loss OF a
stroke.
The other question which has been agi-
tated rather prominently is that OF turf In
a hazard not being regarded rs hazard.
In Scotland most of tho bunkers are large
sand holes. circular deprossions In the
course, often OF considerable size, and
patches of turf In these are not considered
a hazard. In this country, where nearly
all our courses are inland, we have none
OF these huge sand holes, the only thing
