and Senator Hale were the only speakers
VINO referred to it, and t. ey contented
themselves with simple statement OF The
case. 1t is probable that the Senate felt
tnat nothing in the situation called Tor
any new condemnation of Mr.. Cleveland's s
course. His repeated attempts to usurp
the powers of the Senate have been so ire
quentiy condemned and denounced that
thls latest effort on his part hardly fur-
nlshed them with either new arguments or
new inveclives. As matter Oh fact, Mr.
cleveland seems to have fatigued indigna-
ton. He has gone so far in conducting
ms administration as if it were purely
personal government that the Senators
have grown weary of criticism and are
now waiting with patience for the end OF
his term.
Inc difficulty involved in the apprcpria-
uon Dill was avoided by including in the
bill the former appropriation for Minis
ter to the states of Nicaragua, Costa Rica
ana Salvador, and it was left 10 the State
department to arrange the difficulty IN
any way it chose. The whole incident
shows clearly the abnormal egotism of
Cleveland and the degree to which he
eVades his responsibilities to Congress.
Certainly no other President in our history
would ever have attempted such course,
and 1t Is to be hoped we will never have
another to initiate the example.
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-13
PERSONAL GOVERNMENT.

The debate in the Senate on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill on
Thursday brought out the extraordinary
fact that Cleveland has not yet given to
the Senate official information of the ex.
lstence of the Greater Republic of Central
America and the presence in Washington
OF Minister representing the Govern
ment OF that country. This fact calls for
more comment than it received in the
Senate, since it shows to what extent Mr..
Cleveland and his Secretary of State have
carried their theory that the Executive
Department of the Government has exclu-
sive control in dealing with foreign affairs.
BY reason of Mr.. Cleveland's neglect to
inform the Senate of the organization OF
the new Government the Committee on
Foreign Affairs found itself confronted BY
serious difficulty in devising the diplo-
matte appropriation bill. 1t has been the
custom for such bills to carry an item of
$4,000 for a Minister Plenipotentiary to
the states of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Salvador. Two OF these states, however.
have now combined with Honduras to
form the Greater Republic and have sent
Minister to Washington representing
the united republic and have recalled
their own. Having no official informa-
ton as to this change, the Senators were
in doubt how to provide appropriations
for our foreign service in those countries.
The neglect of the President to furnish
the required information was not made the
subject OF much debate, Senator Morgan

never saw a man with SO much personal mag

GREECE AND CRETE.

The announcement made yesterday that
the Greek Government has formally noti-
fed the powers that Greece will not re-
main a passive spectator OF the events
which are taking place in Crete, but will
intervene to protect Cretans from Turkish
massacres, will be received with approval
even by those people who are most averse
10 war.
The decision of Greece is in full accord
with the dictates of humanity as well as
with the promptings of courage and gen.
erosity. The Cretans are of the same race
and religion as the Greeks. and 10 go to
their assistance will be on the part of the
Grecian Government no more than would
be the action of a brother helping
brother. The determination of the Greeks
is, moreover, fully justified by the circum-
stances. They have waited long time
for the great powers TO compel the Turk
ish Government 10 give Just protection to
its citizens of the Christian faitn, and as
the powers have not taken any resolute
step in that direction, Greece has right
to interfere on behalf of the Greeks in
Crete and save them at least from robbery
and death.
A curious personal complication is IN
VOWED in the departure of Prince George
OF Greece with feet to the Cretan coast.
1t is we'll known that Prince George saved
the life of the present Gar OF Russia from
an assassin in Japan while the two, as
young men, were making a voyage round
the world. The Car can hardly fail to
recognize the claims which Prince George
has upon him as friend, and since the
Gar has more power over Turkey than
any body else 1t is possible that this reso-
lutte action on the part of Prince George
may lead him TO be equally resolute in
forcing the Turk to submission to the
terms which were agreed upon by the
great powers.
However the crisis may terminate, there
can be no question that the sympathies of
the civilized world will be with the
Greeks. The diplomacy of Europe mas
been so futile of results as to be aim ost
farcicel. For years the world has waited
to see what the Christian nations would
do to put stop to Mosiem atrocities on
the Christian subjects of the Ottoman
pire, and the waiting has been in vain.
Absolutely nothing has been done. The
dispatch of the Grecian warships to the
island of Crete is the first step which has
been taken to give cheer and encourage
ment to those who hope for speedy set
tlement of the intolerable evils OF Turk
ish rule. 1t raises once more the hope
that the cause of humanity will find a
champion able as well as willing to meet
wrong, despotism and cruelty and over
throw them.

THE BURNS MONUMENT.

1t is fairly certain we are to have a
monument in this City to Robert Burns.
The meeting of the committee of the
Caledonian Club on Thursday evening re-
suited in showing subscriptions for the
monument already amounting to more
than $500. With this much for start
and Scottish enthusiasm and persiste nee
to push the measure, which has already
received public approval, there can hardly
be any doubt of a speedy accom- plishment
of the desired result.
AT the meeting of the committee Chief
Mcneil explained that the Caledonian
Club had agreed TO defray the current ex-
penses Of the committee until the annual
gathering and games in May. The re-
ceipts from these games this year and for
each year until the amount needed for
the monument is obtained will be de-
voted to that object. 1t was announced
that ST. Andrews Society will give in the
near future an entertainment on a large
scale for the purpose of raising money for
the fund, and later on there will be held
a grand Burns festival for the same pur-
pose.
These and other plans which were dis
cussed give promise that the money T
the monument will be speedily forthcom-
ing. We need hardly say that the people
of San Francisco will not leave it alto
gether to the Scotch to raise the funds
needed. Robert Burns is as truly loved
and appreciated in the homes of Ameri-
cans as in the homes OF his own country
men, and the monument which is to
stand for him in this City will represent
not merely the love Of Scotchmen Tor
their great poet but the admiration in
which his genius and his worth are held
by all our people, gathered rs they are
from the four quarters of the world.
