There can be no possible excuse for

want to bride Them said old Judge
Feterby.
I'm not so sure about that" replied
Sardanapalus Peterby, his son, a rising
young politician. IF Congressman dc
not listen to what the lobbyist had to
say they would never find out whether
or not he wanted TO bride them. They
have to listen. you know, to find out il
he really means business"

Viliers, the English war correspondent,
admittedly shrewd and far-seeing
man and one who has made European
politics a study, is of the opinion that
there is behind the Grecian movement
against Turkey the secret influence and
uncovered design of Russian politicians.
He holds that Russia has never given
over the hope of a political seat at
Constantinople, and that still cherish
ing that ambition, the Cars Govern
ment awaits any events that will fur
Their it. To have Greece assail Turkey
and involve the great body Of the lat
ter's military strength is therefore to
the desire of the Muscovite, who will
probably early find an excuse for a
sudden descent southwark, and the re-
suit will be a new map of Turkey in
Europe There is much reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Villiers is on the right
track. 1t corresponds with what has
long been received opinion in this coun-
try, and it is supported by the prepare
tons made of late by Russia for from
tier strengthening, and for new arming
of the Black Sea fleet. OF one thing we
may rest assured whatever Russia s
plans, whether she is the secret ally Of
Greece or not, no nation of the earth
better keeps its secrets; when, there
fore, Russia acts, it will be with sud-
denness and directness. There will be
no preliminary beating about the bush,
no fencing automatically no long and

mand, swift and unmistakable, and in

At this writing the Greeks have the
worst of the war That was expected.
We are told by the dispatch writer's
that ''if' a certain expedition to the
northeast towards Salonica succeeds;
if a certain plan pointing towards the
west is carried out: "if'' a scheme aim
ed toward the mountains on the north
is resolved upon, the Turkish Forces will
be cut off from their base of supplies,
and be hemmed in between two great
divisions of the Grecian army. There
are too many ifs in the matter. More
over. what will the Turkish Generals
be about all this time? Is it conceivable
that they do not thoroughly understand
the military situation, and that they
will press the army into a position that
will render it liable to be cut off and
starved to death? Unless Greece has
help from the outside, unless there is a
command from the Powers TO cease
firing" the Turks will make short work
of the Grecian army, and the cause of
freedom for Greeks will again relapse
to the regret of all who believe that
right government springs alone from
the consent of the governed. Greece
ought to win She has every reason to
win. More than two millions of her
people are in slavery or Vassalage to
the Turk Three of the faireSt of her
ancient States are ruled over by the
tyrant of the Crescent, who has no
moral right to the territory, nor any
other save the right that roots in con-
quest. But Greece is overmatched, and
be she as valiant as she may, defeat
stares her in the face unless Russia
comes to her aid. 1t is a case in which
a people struggling for the indepen-
dence of all their brethren must de-
pend upon an absolute monarch to do
for them.

Small boats along the whole coast of
the United States south of Charles
ton carry considerable quantities of
small arms and cartridges as they go
out fishing and pleasuring, and these
are transferred to larger schooners
outside the shore limit, for transporta-
ton to Cuba. This is one reason why
so many cargoes are landed in spite
of the closest inspection and search by
both American and Spanish cruisers
and detectives on shore. This is inev-
liable destiny. With so, greatly ex-
tended a coast line and all our people
in sympathy with Cuba the entire navy
of Spain could not prevent the landing
on the coast of Cuba of ammunition
and other war material.

tariff took effect. To make no allow
ance for this and charge failure on the
latter tariff act, without waiting to
