THE GOVERNORS CONTRASTS.

There is no doubt that Governor Black has
been power in legislation this year. without
prior experience in an Executive office, he mas
surpassed most Of his predecessors in making
the influence of the Executive positive factor
in settling the fate of important measures In
deed he has employed his official resources Ell
fectually in so many cases as to establish
strong probability that he could have prevent
ed the passage Of any BILL if he had chosen TO
exert himself to that end. 1t is fair to say also
that for the most part he has used his power
wisely when he has used it at all 1t Is mat
ter of record that he killed the metropolitan po-
lice reorganization bill in spite of Mr.. Lauter-
bach's warm and persistent advocacy. Nobody
doubts that he compelled the withdrawal OF the
free TRANSFORMATION scheme to beat the COnstitu-
ton. 1t was his certificate of urgency. plainly
showing his personal feeling and desire, which
secured an easy victory for the Raines amend
ments over the strenuous opposition of the Re
publican machine in this city. His own plan
for the extension of the forest preserve has be-
come a law. though from first to last it was
antagonzed by various interests which have
hitherto done about as they pleased in the North
Woods. And now at almost the last moment
he has sidetracked the anticartoon express, in
the face Of a regularly signed dispatch giving
1t the right Of way.
In these important matters the Governors sa
gacity and strength Of will have interviewed
to protect the State from injury and discredlt
1t is strange that possessing the qualities
which such acts indicate, he should not have
saved himself from blurder similar TO those
from which he has saved others. In the whole
list of measures which his hostility has defeated
there is not one offensive to the enlightened
sentiment of the State and to the spirit of the
Constitution than the Civil Service spells BILL
which he initiated and which has now been
obediently placed in his hands. 1t is not respon-
sve to any public necessity, to any popular pref
erence OF TO any party platform. If it is pos
sible that the members Of the Legislature who
voted for 1t with obvious apprehension secretly
Ike IT, Il is certain that it could never have been
passed except under Executive orders. 1t is the
Governors bill. He was responsible for its in
PRODUCTION and is chiefly responsible for its en-
actment as he will be also for ts consequences
His conduct in relation to this transaction is in
unfortunate contrast to his dealings with other
burdensome and discrediable projects. 1t Is the
more melancholy in view Of the fact that he has
clearly shown how easy it would have been for
him to make an altogether admirable record

THE BETRAYAL or GREECE.

The military operations Of the last few days
have shown moro clearly than anything else
could show one important phase Of the sys-
tematic discrimination which the great Powers
have exercised in favor of Turkey and against
Greece The frontier OF Thessaly. east of the
Pindus range has proved TO be wellnigh indie
fensbe from the Greek side. The Greeks have
massed their troops along 1t at all available
points, and have performed prodigies Of valor
in the face of vastly outnumberng foes But
they have suffered, not because Of any in
fcrority save in numbers, nor indeed merely
because of numerical inferiority, but because Of
disadvantages of position. Before the frontier
was crossed by the Turks and the war begun
the Turks occupied almos. every vantage ground
and entrance way to Greece, while the Greeks
had scarcely one position of natural strength.
This circumstance, which has already proved
damaging and may prove disastrous to the
Greeks, is directly chargeable to the great Pow
ers as a brei review of recent history will show.
The original boundary ran from the northeast
corner Of the Gull Of Arta to point near the
entrance TO the Gulf Of Volo. 1t was unsatis-
factory but it served for hale century The
Berlin Congress of 1878, however. decided 10
rectify It, and to give Epirus and Thessaly to
Greece The new boundary was to run from a
point on the Gulf of Saonica north OF Mount
Olympus to a point on the Albanian coast oppo-
site Corfu. That would have been logical and
satisfactory line, and would have been one read
lily defensible by Greece against Turkish inva
sion. But. although the great Powers decreed
it. Turkey declined to grant it, and the great
Powers proved then as now subscrvient TO Tur-
key and permitted her to nullify their WILL So
the old frontier remained for several years
Finally, in 1881, a compromise was effected
Greece had nothing to say about it. Turkey and
the great Powers settled il among themselves at
ConstantinOple. A boundary was laid out which
gave Greece a mere fraction Of the territory
which the Berlin Congress had allotted to her
And, with characteristic Oriental cunning IL
was so placed TO form a frontier, in its east
ern half, incapable Of defence from the Greek
side. and affording every possible facility for
the invasion Of Greece by Turkey
There is little room for doubt that 1t was thus
purposely arranged by Turkey. Whether the
great Powers understood the trick or not is an
open question. If they did they were partners
In the betrayal Of Greece. If they did not they
were the dupes Of Turkey. There is no third
ground The more probable theory is that they
did understand IT, because Greece at the time
exposed the trick, protested against it, and
begged for frontier on which she might stand
on equal terms with Turkey. But her remon-
strances and petitions were ignored And the
bitterest fact Of ALL to men of Anglo-Saxon race,
IS that while the present inquitous boundary
was nominally traced by an international com.
mission, the actual survey was made by British
engineers. In such fashion, sixteen years ago,
