To the Editor. of the New Mexican:

To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Washington, D. O., March 22.-Today
the debate on the Dingley bill begins.
With great good sense said debate will
conclude in ten days. There is no good
reason why it should be extended further.
Not single new idea can be advanced
against it. The only gamers by delay
will be the importers who are utilizing
every hour in packing the bonded ware
houses full of foreign goods to avoid the
payment Of the increased duties of the
Dingley bill. The passage of the bill
through the house, however, 10 an easy
matter compared with its course through
the senate. l met Senator Cullom few
DAYS since, who said that he supposed
the debate in the senate would last till the
'sdog days." but am informed by several
senators that there is no doubt Of its
ultimate passage. The trouble ahead OF
the country is, that years importation
will be made in O, few months and We will
lose both the revenue and the improve
ment of business which must follow the
increased duty. The freetrnders will talk
and obstruct and play into the hands OF
foreign manufacturers and when after
long delay the Dingley bill becomes law
they will take advantage Of their own
wrong doing and blame it for the hard
times and the scant revenue. Verify
modern Democracy IS fearfully and won
derfully made.
The great topic of talk today is
as to what attitude the administra.
ton will assume on the blockade of Crete
by the great European powers. What a
shameful sight it is to see all the over
grown bullies of Europe joining hands
to crush out Christian Greece in behalf
of the bloody detestable Turk, whose gar
ments are yet reeking with the blood
of the butchered Armenians. Ones mind
naturally reverts back to the heroic days
of ancient Greece when Leonidas, Mil
tiades and their kindred demi- Gods, rolled
back the tide of barbsric invasion an6
immortalized the Greolan name. The
cause of the socalled "concert of Europe
is the dread and jealousy with which eacf
one of the powers regards the other. AL
want slice of Turkey, but they canno
agree on the division of the dismemberet
particles. One thing, however,. is certain
the Cretan incident is but the beginning
of the end. Already the Greeks who arr
very numerous in the Danubian countrie
are beginning to come together. Rou
mania, Servia, Bulgaria, Rumelia ani
Constantinople are full of Greeks ant
they are seethlng with discomfort. Thi
movement will increase and spread and
with the first disruption of the ''concert'
will come war of revenge on the de
testable and degenerate followers o
Mohamet. However long the western
powers may defer the evil day it mus
come at last and notwithstanding al
sentimental preaching about arbitration
the issues at stake will be settled by the
arbitrament of battle.
