TOO MUCH Law.

Carter Harrison, the lately elected
mayor of Chicago, attributes his snc-
cess to the general desire Of the peo-
pie for q greater degree of personal
liberty.
This feeling among the people for
greater freedom is not confined to
Chicago, but is as wide spread as the
republic. Citizens everywhere in
every community are growing restive
under the restraints of law. Nor are
those who complain of the laws inter-
ference classed among the criminals.
Legislation In restraint of personal
liberty has been carried to excess both
in state and municipal government.
Good government is not as certainly
secured by tying the people up under
annoying enactments, as by impress.
ing upon citizens a knowledge and feel
Ing OF individual responsibility.
There are upon the statute books of
every state law not in harmony with
the spirits of the constitutions of either
the state or general government, but
have their sources in the bigotry,
narrowness and prejudice OF legisla-
tors.
Such laws are in contravention of
the public good. They interrupt har-
mony between citizens, interdict the
pursuit of happiness and are in con-
iict with the prevalent and growing
idea of responsibility to society and
the government.
Subjects are legislated upon either
in obedience to the commands of sell
fshness or biggotry, narrowing the
limits of personal freedom to such an
extent that the body of citizens are
feeling themselves pursued by law
making bodies as criminals and out
laws.
If good results are expected, the |
best attainable by man, intellectually,
morally and physically, he must be
given the broadcast freedom consistent
with the good of society. If the
country is to progress, deyelop to the
utmost of mans capacity, he must be
lntrammeled by law interfering with
Individual liberty and personal force.

iron manufactures demanding that
iron ore be put on the free list. Their
new senator. Mr.. Penrose, has offered
an amendment to the Dingley bill re-
moving the duty on iron ore: and the
explanation of this extraordinary de-
mand coming from Pennsylvania
senator is that the iron and steel man
ufactures of that state require certain
ores for admixture which come from
West Indies and Europe, while their
competitors in the South and West have
all the grades of ores required for close
blending right at hand, therefore with
iron ore on the dutiable list the Penn
sylvanians are placed at disadvant-
age, however they have not asked that
manufactured iron and steel be placed
upon the free list, so that the consumer
can have the advantage of the markets
of the world.
A few years ago the woolen manu-
facturers made similar demand. They
wanted free wool, but protected WOOL
ems. because they required certain
foreign woods to mix with the domestic
product. To this, however. the wool
produces objected. and it will be the
same with the iron miners now. So it
is, the more the protective theory is
Investigated the more we are convinced
that the statement of General Han
cock was true. The locality that is
benefited by protection extended to an
industry in which it is engaged, wants
that particular industry fostered at
the expense of all others. The pro-
ducer of wool cares not whether the
iron miner is protected, and vice versa.
Protection can never be adjusted equit-
ably or satisfactorily to all. 1t is de-
cidedly local issue, and never can be
made more just than by adopting the old
democratic principle of tariff for rev.
enue, so adjusted as to be OF the great
cot benefit to the greatest number.

WHERE DEBT Is a BLES.sIEG

The demands which the sultan will
make upon Greece as the price Of
peace would everlastingly plunge that
little country into bankruptcy were
they permitted by the powers, and
were it not for the fact that Greece is
a debtor nation, the sultan's averice
would no doubt be satisfied. But the
great financiers of Europe hold large
securities in Greece, and they cannot
afford to allow the Turks to be awarded
such indemnity as would make the
payment of their securities impossible.
On this account they will insist that
their respective powers protect their
interests Dy preventing too large
award to Turkey.
While Greece will be ruined finan-
cially after assuming her war debt,
buying peace with Turkey, and meet
ing the demands of her European cred
itors, still she will be allowed breath
ing spell for time and a chance to
repay her obligations to foreign money
lenders by installments. In her case
debt is blessing, for without it there
would be no limit to the award Euro
pean powers would allow Turkey to
exact. 1t would be such an amount
that she could never meet except by a
taxation that would depopilate the
country, for the rate of taxation would |
necessarily be so high that none could |
meet it, so migration would have been
the only possible relief the overbur-
dened people could have had. For |
once in the history of the world debt |
has been an advantage to a nation,

ELKINs TELLS THE TRUTH.

Senator Elkius was interviewed the
other day in Cincinnati by the En-.
quirer. Said he:
Wages must go down."
"Wage earners do not see it or be-
lieye it, but 1t is so.n
"Wages in America stand against
any revival of business.
And there you.haye it.
The whole of the republican cam
paign is embraced:in Senator Elkins'
words.
The great fight was made for no other
purpose, for no other result. although
the truth was not told then as it is
now.
Republican orators who promised
prosperity now talk like Senator
ElkiEs.
Republican magazines are attempt
ing to impress the people with the fact
that these are normal times.

will come when America makes use of

And there are American citizens
who swallow every utterance of these
men and parrot like argue for them.

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

The Cubans, in their struggle
against the mother country, have re-
ceived no recognition or assistance
from the United States government,
and now, that their fight for independ-
ence is almost won, feel not inclined
to become state or province OF this
country. Recently General Gomez
was interviewed by a New York
Journal correspondent with reference
to the probability of that country ask
ing to be annexed to the United States,
and gave the correspondent assurance
that nothing of the kind would be
asked, The Cubans recognize the fact
that if they are ever able to throw on
the Spanish yoke of tyranny 1t will De
by their own efforts. If they establish
their independence, it will not be
through the good offices or by the
Intervention of this or any other gov
ernment. Therefore. owing no other
country any debt of gratitude, they
will be free to establish an independ-
ent government, and become a Srepuo-
lie free from the entanglements OF any
other nation.
Had this government, in the hour OF
Cuba's need, shown willingness to
extend that assistance it should extend
to any oppressed people struggling for
independence, the final outcome might
have been different. The Cubans would
have had the friendliest feeling for
the American republic, and when once
released from Spanish control, most
likely they would have asked to be-
come part of the United States.
Thus we would have gained terri
tory that is rich in both soil and
climate, and peopled with a class who
would have become valuable citizens.
But all possibility of such an event is
past. When Cuba gains her independ-
ence she will set up q government OF
her own, so the people will have no
desire to be annexed to nation that
has treated them so indifferently when
the kindly Intervention of friend
was 80 much needed.

PURELY a LOCAL ISSUE.

When General Hancock was candi-
date for the presidency in 1880, he
truthfully said that the tariff was a
local issue. This idea was hooted at
by his opponents. and none were loud
or in their protestations, that protec-
tion to all American industries was a
cardinal principle of true patriotism,
than the iron manufactures of the great
state of Pennsylvania. They were en-
gagged then in an industry that profited
by the levying of high duties upon
iron, both manufactured and in ore,
and it was to their interest to con-
vince the entire voting public that
.sprotection to all American indus
tries" was the thing to be most desired.
1t was necessary to wealth and pros-
perity; was necessary to the general
welfare OF the nation, and especially
necessard as a means for producing
revenue.
But circumstances have somewhat
changed, and we now find those same

among other things said:
"Chicago is a center of intense and

CoNSTANTINoPLE, May 1S.-There
was sudden and unexpected change
in the political situation shortly before
noon today. Russia quietly showed
her hand, thereby forcing Germany
and Turkey out of the game, TO all in

Last night and early this morning
Turkey, supported by Ger many, was
practically defying Russia, France,
Austria, Great Britain and Italy, in
sisting upon the annexation of Thes-
sally, in addition to a huge war in
demnity, and seemingly was deter
mined TO march upon Athens.
The ministers received official ad-
vices from Sofia today, announcing
that orders had been issued for a
partial mobilization of the Bulgarian
army, possibly at the instigation of
Russia. There was hurried consulta-
tion OF the ministers. The war party
was for further defiance, but in the end
pacific counsels seemed to have pre-
vailed, for at 1l:30 orders were tele-
graphed to Edhem Pas ha to cease hos
