WHY Greece Is Beaten.

Greece has the sympathy of the world.
But sympathy is not negotiable at the
banks nor will it be accepted in payment
of debts While Greece is glorious in his
torical and intellectual ways, she is
VIGOROUSLY bad debtor. The sultan, for
all his bad reputation, could borrow five
dollars at per cent. where the Greek
king would have trouble to borrow one
dollar at 10 per cent.
In Europe they have a way of expecting
and demanding, that an honest debt shall
receive honest payment. They cling to
the opinion that character, worth, honor,
are to be measured by the way
obligations are met The individual
who lodges creditors, defers payments,
scales his obliga tions, and becomes known
as poor pay" loses caste, not only COM
mercially but socially. Ones heart may
beat warm for his country" but il he
does not make an effort to pay his grocery
bills, he will soon find his associates look
ing al him askance or cutting" him out
right.
Greece is poor pay. She is heavily in
debt to the moneyed men of other Euro
pean countries. Her warships, made in
Germany, have not been paid for. She
owes German bankers large sums, which
they cannot collect. 1t has not been a
great while since she arbitrarily reduced
the interest on her public debt; that is
she repudiated a part of her obligation
The payment of other obligations she has
STAYED off, when due, from time to time
by defaults and evasions. The situation
has been such that Germany could not
well send warships to back up the de-
Greece. There is a lot of red tape about
the movement of warships in the waters
of the east. But, when the occasion came
in the affair with Turkey, Germany de-
termined to see that Greece should be
taught a salutary lesson, and hence Ger
manys influence became anti-Creece. The
suggestion that the Emperor William was
angry because his sister, the Crown
Princes Sophia, wife of Constantine, had
been converted to the Greek church, and
for that reason threw the weight of his
influence against the Greek cause, is not
worthy of serious consideration.
| Greece owes much money outside of
| Germany also. Her creditors, probab bly,
without concert, or any understanding
whatever, concluded that she should feel
the weight of their displeasure. In a nut
| shell. Greece is beaten because the money
power of Europe directed that it should
be so.

Would Promote Smuggling.

The Ding,ey bill is a bill TO promote not
only trusts and combinations. but also
smuggling. Tariffs always have their ef-
feet upon the smuggler's trade. Indeed,
the very word tariff" is suggestive Of
| smuggling, since 1t is derived from Tarifa,
the southern seaport on the continent of
Europe where tariffs were first levied and
smugglers and cut-throats abounded In
these days, however smuggling is carried
on differently from what it was in the days
of the Moers at Tarifa,
When tariff duties are high the smugger
becomes active, and when they are low
ne goes out Of the business and the gov
ernment collects the revenues. Once upon
time the tariff upon opium imported into
the United States was $l2 pound. And
the government collected duties upon prec-
ious few pounds of It, The snugglers got
rich al running the article into the coun-
try surreptitiously. When the duty was
reduced by one-half the smugglers went
out of the business and the custom houses
received considerable revenue from the
article. Jewelry, silks, furs, and other
articles, may be included in the same class
with OPIUM. But opium serves the purpose
of Illustration.
There is believed to be very little snug
Cling going on at present. The tariff rates
do not warrant taking the risks But the
passage Of the Dingiey bin and the new
Canadian tariff bin would be calculated to
revive the business as it was in the good
old days" if not, indeed to make 1t even
more profitable than ever before. For
the Dingley bill sends the tariff rates sky
ward. and the Canadian bill opens the way
for English goods to be landed in Canada
and spirited across the border. The new
Canadian bill, while discriminating heavily
against American products shows especial
favor to those of Great Britain. Thus,
while smugg.ers would be able to make a
good thing Of running English commodi-
ties across the border without paying du-
ties, the American producers would find
their Canadian market, worth $60,OOOO0O a
year, pretty nearly If not entirely taken
away from them. About one-half of the
American products sold in Canada consists
of coal, corn, tobacco, hides wood, raw
cotton and similar articles. 1t is an easy
enough matter for the Dingleyites to de-
stroy this market But where are they
going to open up another market to COM
ficted upon them for the benefit Of the
protected favorites of the republican party
and the smugglers?

Certain dispatches from the seat of war
tend TO show the Turk In a new light.
Have we misjudged him all along? To
the mind OF the average Christian (the
name being used in a secular sense) the
Turk is an unspeakable monster, never
so happy as when shedding the blood of
those who differ from him in religious be-
lief He is regarded as a barbarian,
swayed by fanaticism, and inexpressibly
cruel. He is supposed to be a stranger to
good impulses merciless when in power,
and hopelessly bad at heart. II was to
be expected that when the Turk went to
war with the Greek there would be
enacted tragedies after the battles which
would make the world sick at heart from
sheer horror and in which the Turk would
be the villain and the Greek the victim.
Dispatches from Larissa and elsewhere
contain much that is calculated to contro-
vert this opinion OF the Turk There was
report that the Turks had burned a num-
Der OF wounded Greeks in a church at
Kirtslovan But the report was from
Greek sources and has been denied. At
Larissa there was no pihaging by the
Turks, or other excuses that are supposed
to be common after the capture of a town
by fierce Oriental troops. On the other
hand, orders were issued to the Turkish
troops against all sorts of outrages, and
they were enforced. One Turk who stole
coat was promptly arrested, disarmed
and made a prisoner! A young Greek
prisoner was taken before an officer, whom
he begged to spare his life. With con-
temptuous pity the Turk regarded the sup
plant, and informed him: I'VE do lot
kill our prisoners of war" Then he or
dered something to eat for the surprised
Greek Another Greek prisoner who had
been the recipient of coffee and cigarettes,
and other courtesies, from the Turks. said:
I'VE were always told the Turks were
barbarous but l should like to see more
of this sort of barbarity among our own
people,"
Does this sort of thing agree with the
common idea with regard to the Turks?
1t must be added, however, that the dis
patches which furnish this new view of
the Turkish soldier were sent from the
headquarters of the Turkish army in
Thessaly.

barking at Cleveland.

It is remarkable how persistent Tray,
Blanch and Sweetheart are in barking
every time Nj. Cleveland comes into sight.
His speech at the Reform Clubs dinner
in New York the other night has once
more started the chorus, which may be
continued indefinitely. And in the racket
is heard the deep bass of Henry Waiter
son, out of place and discordant. He
scents from a great distance imaginary
slaughter houses and open graves, and
is giving tongue to what he conceives to
be a note of warning
The ex-President's enemies deny him the
privilege. which is the commonest citi-
zen's, of attending gatherings and Civ
ing expression to his sentiments upon pub
lie questions. without having his motives
impugned. They foresee, or pretend to
foresee, a dark and deeply laid plot on the
part of Mr.. Cleveland to capture the dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency in
1900. They think he is even now candi-
date for the presidency, and some of them
go so far as to say he will be a candidate
every four years as long as he lives, They
are afraid of him. Presently they will be
calling upon him, as vehemently as they
called for several months before the Chi
cago convention, to announce that he will
not be a candidate.
The perturbation of the uneasy ones is
without reason. Mr.. Cleveland will never
run for the presidency of the United States
again, and nobody knows it better than
himself. 1t may be doubted that he would
run, If invited by the democratic party to
do so, and it is morally certain that that
party will not extend the invitation. 1t
has been only short while since he de-
clared that he desired to be known here
after only as an humble worker in the
ranks of the party. He should
be permitted to work there,
without being made target
for mud balls. He is a great man, a
great democrat and a great worker He
has rendered most substantial services to
his party and his country. which should
protect him from vicious and unfair crit
icism.
