REPUBLICAN, TROUBLES.

II is ION the bills" as the phrase goes,
that the Republican party is TO restore pros
perity. It was understood in business cir
Giles that the mere event of the election Of
Mckinley would go far to produce the de-
sired result.
We have already seen how futile and fool
ish such hopes were. Three months have
now passed, and the conditions that make
against prosperity b we gIown steadily worse
instead OF better, arc it is now known that
the Republicans will have to take active
measures to bring about a condition that
was expected 10 follow hard upon the heels
of the announcement of the Republican vic
tory.
But when we look at the Republican
party itself to find ont what preparations it
is making TO bring about the promised re-
suit, we perceive nothing substantial on
which human expectation may seize. On
the contrary, we see signs of decentralization
and factional differences that hold out not
the smallest hope of relief to the country at
large. No disposition to do anything has
been shown, and we make note of this fact
and comment on it.
One of the best known Republican Sena-
tors recently said to Mr.. Bowen, the CORE
spondent OF the New York World, Major
Mckinley was to be the advance agent Of
prosperity, we hoped. AS appearances are
now, we fear he may be the harbinger OF de-
feat" To this Mr.. Bowen adds that sena-
tors and representatives in discussing the
prospects of the incoming administration
"utter words which would electrify the
country if they could be printed and their
source revealed"

LATE IN THE DAY.

The attack Of portion of the Republican
press upon Mr.. McKinley's selection OF Gen.
Russell A. Alger as Secretary of War must
have some other motive than the truth Of
history, and is evidently the result of politi'
cal antagonisms engendered since the war.
The charges made are that Col. Alger alb
scented himself from his regiment in Septem
Der, 1854, and that shortly afterwards his
resignation was accepted by President Lin
coin, who was in ignorance of the record
being made up by Generals Sheridan and
Merritt In June of 1866 Col. Ager was
brevetted Brigadier General and Major Gen
eral. The strange part OF the accusation is
that il true, how was it that right while
the matter was hot, with all the witnesses
alive and on the alert, with Gen. Grant in
command of the army and Edwin M. Stsn.
ton Secretary Of War, that two brevets
should have been awarded to q man whose
conduct in the field was even under suspi-
cion. The bare statement of the case should
furnish its own contradiction.
To have received the honorary promotion
Gen. Aiger must have had clear record at
the time, he must have had the approval OF
the commanding general OF the army, and
the well known dyspeptic character OF Sec
rotary Stantsn forbids the idea that he was
ever moved by pity or sympathy.
Lincoln had been removed by the hand Of
Booth, and Andrew johnson was President,
daily making speeches that he intended
making treason odious." For Alger to
have escaped all ,crutiny under such cir
cumstances was in possible. 1t is none of
"our fight" but it s.rikes us that it is late
day now, thirty six years afterwards, to re
vive charges which when fresh, could have
no better effect.

"Ouida" is Of the opinion that Italians
who cannot read or write are q more desir-
able class of immigrants than those who can
do both The illiterate ones, she says, are
the best and most laborious portion of the
population coming from the peasantry, while
the literate ones are what she calls the trash
of the cities" AS large employer Of Italian
labor in Italy she invariably found "those
who could not read ten times more indus
trious, temperate, intelligent and honest than
those corrupted by the trumpery education
OF schools. "Ouida" prefers the Italy that
was when schools were few to the Italy that
is now when commendable efforts are max
ing to furnish education for all. Neverthe
less there is some truth in what she says,
but the purpose OF the NATURALIZATION bill
against which her protest is made is to
reduce immigration, and the reading and
writing test will for some time to come have
that result. 1t will largely reduce immi-
grafton from Southern Italy, which does not
furnish the most desirable class of Italian
immigrants.

TIE SITUA TON IN EUROPE.

From day 10 day the press dispatches
have brought the news OF stirring events
along the Mediterranean, OF how Greece,
unable to bear longer the oppression Of her
kin in Crete, has made ready for action,
King George and the opposition dropping
all differences and uniting for the one OBJ
iect of staying the hand of Moslem. The
hints sent across the Atlantic TO explain the
action OF Greece from diplomatic stand
point are probably wide Of the mark.
simple solution suggests that noble people
who bark back TO the glory of old days.
with their unapproachsble splendor, need
no other spur than the cry Of the desolate
and the oppressed. This has stirred Greece.
King George sits none too securely on that
throne at Athens. He dares Iot cross the
will of his people fired by such an impulse.
This is all the explanation needed TO ex
plain or 10 understand the Greek move.
ment.
But there are other practical consequences
apt to result in case Turkey declares war,
as she will do unless affairs change front -
Greece alone could not confront Turkey
The little kingdom must per force seek aid.
Will the powers grant it? Have they put
Greece forward purposely 70 draw the Turk
into war, intending thus to find an excuse
Tor crushing the Mosem power? All known
circumstances-notably the decl arations OF
the Marquis of Salisbury-are opposed to
such belief The more rational conclu.
sion is, as we have said, that Greece goes 1t
alone.
1t would fare III for this brave kingdom
were it not for another grim power that has
a deep debt against the Turk. Russia has
watched Constantinople from afar. Ever
ready to pouuce on it and sweep the Otto
man out Of Europe. She has been con-
stantly frustrated by the allied powers. The
White Gar has declared his purpose Of
old and all his recent policies are TO one
end Soon or late his guns will awake an
echo in the Dardanelles. He will want no
better excuse than the one now offered by
Greece. Hence the concern of the allied
powers, hence England's firm resolution TO
preserve the balance of power, or as some
German wittily said, England wants TO
keep the balance of power"
So it will be seen that the apparently in
significant uprising in Greece may lead to
mighty consequences. The Gar has avowed
his intention of putting the Suez canal I'M
der international controI-a blow which
was aimed at England, and which went
home. From an unexpected quarter the
event has come which may bring on the
much dreaded European war, in which all
the powers will be more or less involved,
and in which Abdel Hamid may be most
gloriously and signally revolved out of po-
litical existence. But time will tell.
