A London dispatch states that the am
bassadors of three of the powers be-
licve the Greco-Turkish war will be over
in three weeks. 1t may terminate even
sooner than that though the determined
spirit stlll being manifested by the
Greeks and the indications of trouble
brewing for the Turks in other quarters,
make 1t probable that the war will not
end so soon as the ambassadors are said
to believe. The attitude of Bulgaria Is
regarded as menacing, the insurgents
in Macedonia are doing effective work
against the Turk, and there are omi-
nous signs elsewhere of desire to go
to the assistance of Greece. 1t is yet
possible that the Balkan provinces will
be drawn into the conflict. The prog
ress of the war has not been altogether
encouraging for the Greeks. What they
have gained in Epirus il more than Off
set by what they have lost in Thcssaly.
Their abandonment of I.arissa, where
preparations had been made for Il great
battle, is discouraging circumstance
and 1t is easy to understand the ex-
element and disquiet it is reported to
have caused in Athens. If the Greeks
could not hold Larissa after all the
preparation that had been made for its
defense, what hope have they of check
ing the Turkish invasion? 1t is said
to be the plan of the successor of Ed
hem paSha in the command of the Turk
iSll forces to strengthen the army i'll
Thcssaiy by uniting with it the forces
in Epirus. With this increased army
the Turks would probably have little
difficulty in sweeping on to Athens. If
it is their purpose to carry the invasion
beyond Thcssaly. ManfeStly the situ-
alton as it now appears is most unfavor-
able for the Greeks They are showing
splendid courage and determination,
but they are largely outnumbcred and
the Turkish soldiers are maintaining
their reputation as fierce fighters.
In the meanwhile the great powers
are giving no indication of what they
intend to do, if indeed there is any
understanding between them regarding
u policy for the settlement of the con
flict. 1T appears TO be the desire of the
Russian government that there shall be
no intervention unless one of the com
batnnts asks for it, while the British
government is understood to take the
view that Intervention may become nee
essary regardless of the wishes of the
belligerents 1t will probably rest with
these two powers to determine what
course shall be pursued, since they have
very much greater interests involved
than the other powers.
One thing seems to be well assured
anJ that is the ultimate breaking up of
the concert and the formation of new
alliances. This is plainly foreshadowed
and it is full Of significance. Whether
such change in the relations of the
powers as sagacious observers believe
to be inevitable can be effected without
II more or less serious rupture is a prob
lem the solution of which must be left
to time. The present concert, however,
is not agreeable to some of the powers
and these will ~~aorhtedly take the
first opportunity that offers to withdraw
from it.

NO EXPLANATION AT ALL.

In attempting to offer an explanation
of her recent magazine story which con-
sttutcs u wanton slander of Nebraska,
the author of "The Spellbinder" makes
things worse by asserting that every
incident portrayed in that fantastic lit
erary production has been parallcled
over and over again in the history of
the frontier counties of tito state. AS
it is idle to handy words With any one
so perverse, obtuse and ill-informed,
suffice it to say that while many Ne
braska communities were hard struck
by the misfortuncs of drouth and crop
failure, none of them We're ever the
scenes of the wholesale murders. sui
cides and insanities pictured as realities
in the distorted piece of fiction pub
lishcd in the April McClure's.
SO far as Nebraska is concerned, 1t
courts the fullest publicity of the CON
dition of its people financially, indus
trially and socially, and fears no COM
parison with any other newly settled
agricultural state The truth will be
the best refutation of the ISLANDERS
given currency in that widely read
magazine.

Every member-elect of the new city
government should familiarize himself
thoroughly with the provisions of the
new city charter. Ignorance. coupled mt
times with willful disregard of charter
provisions, have in the past been the
cause of too much lawlessness on the
part of city officials. An honest effort
should be made to live up strictly to
the letter and spirit of the new charter
and If after that it Is found defective, Il
strong case can be made for revision OF
amendment

And now it is publicly whispered that
the railroads are after the scalp of In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Nor
rison and are demanding that the place
he occupies be assigned to man to
be named by them. The law creating
the Interstate Commerce commission,
however, vests the appointment of its
members in the president and not In
tho railroads. Under the circumstances
the railroads are likely to discover that
their influence over the commission is
considerably smaller than the influence
of the commission over them.

tion this isSnoL particularly surprising.
The fact watthH of note in the decision,
however, is the point upon which its
unconstitutionallty is established
namely the omission of a specific re-
pealing clause. designating the existing
statutes of tthieh 1t was clearly amend
atory. This is the same point that is
being urged against the new municipal
court law, which also seeks to amend
part of the existing code without Speci-
flying the sections repealed. In knocking
out the free high school law the court
plainly forcshadows the inevitable fate
of the municipal court law.

AS result of the employment of po.
litical street cleaners for primary and
election purposes the money available
for street cleaning is likely to run short
long before the season closes. when
such work is necessary. While the oc-
casion for such abuses will not in all
probability recur for some time precau-
tions ought to be taken to prevent the
expenditure of more than n certain per-
centage of the funds provided in any one
week except to meet special emergen-
cies. The interests of the taxpayers are
entitled to this much protection.

1t is denied that there has been any
dispute in the diplomatic corps ut Wash
ington over precedence in the pro-
cesSion at the Grant monument
ceremonies. There will therefore be no
occasion to call in an arbitration com
mission to decide whether the minister
from Spain walks Spanish according to
diplomatic etiquette or whether
the German ambassador speaks high
German or low Dutch. One European
war at one time is enough.

Whether committed by desperadoes or
cranks, the attempted cutting of the
leyees in the southern flood districts
calls for the utmost vigilance on the
part of the people who are guarding the
river banks and the severest punish
ment of the offenders when apprehended
and identified. Any one who would
wantonly endanger the lives and prop
erty of hundreds of families already
sore pressed can have little claim to
leaient treatment from the authorities.

A Doubtful Clause Stricken Out.

The republican members of the senate
finance committee have decided that the re-
troactiye provision of the Dingley tariff bill
should be stricken out. This is a very wise
conclusion and it is to be hoped that the
clause will disappear, as the constitutionality
Of such clause is, to say the least very
doubtful, and it is evidently absurd to make
E. law operate on it's subject before the law
has been enacted and in the face of a pre-
existing tariff law which has never been re-
pealed and will not be, until the new tariff
Is enacted some weeks from now.

The reorganization Of the senate com
