SPRING Is HERE.

According to the almanac and the con-
ventional divisions of our year spring be-
gins to-day. Over in the East, where the
seasons are sharply divided by differ
ences of weather, the day will be univer-
sally and thousand poems will
wing their way from poets hearts to ed
itors' wastebaskets- With US, where the
seasons blend into one another by such
slow and slight changes as TO be almost
imperceptible, the day will hardly be
noted at ali. Nevertheless to California
as much as to any part of the country does
the coming of spring give reason to re-
joice. 1t promises prosperity and brings
a thousand evidences that the promise
will be fulfilled.
In our gladness at the coming of spring
we shall not lay so much stress as they 40
in the East upon the blooming of flowers.
These, though they are not poor, we have
always with us. Our sense of satisfaction
comes from other things. 1t is pleasure
of course to see the fields radiant again in
the golden glow of poppies, the orchards
almost luminous with blooms and the gar
dens taking on a richer luxuriance than
they have known under the clouds OF
change from wintry scenes as they are in
the East, and of course do not affect us 30
acutely. In order to fully enioy them We
have to add TO them music, revelry and
mirth. Our spring is the season of carni-
vals.
Not, however, even from the gorgeous fes-
tivals which are being prepared in all sec.
tions of the State does the fullest satisfac-
ton come with the consciousness that we
have reached the beginning OF spring
This year the season is 10 bring us first of
all relief from Cleveland. After that by
swift degrees will come relief from Cleve-
landism, depression and hard times. The
spring is to be new uprising of thou
sand activities which have long lain dor
mant, or dying, under the administration
of debt, deficit and disaster. Far better
than the return of flowers will be the re-
turn OF industry. More cordial will be
the welcome given to enterprise, work and
wages than any which will be accorded to
carnivals however gorgeous or festivals
however gay.
In the good things of the spring Califor-
MIA will share. We shall have our return
to the summer of prosperity after the long
winter of depression. We shall profit with
the rest of the country in all the benefits
of the coming Mckinley days. Spring is
here. Three more days of Grover. Truly
it is time to rejoice, whether it rain Or
shine,

GREEK NATIONALITY.

It is safe to assert that whatever course
may be taken by the great powers in deal
ing with the Cretan crisis and 10 what.
ever terms Greece may be compelled to
submit for the time, the contest now begun
will not end until the desire of ali the
Greeks to be united into one nation is
realized and satisfied.
This is not the first time m odern Greeks
have had TO struggle against great odds
for national existence. Early in the
century. when Europe, worn out by the
long Napoleonic wars, sought repose by
every means diplomacy could DEVISE the
Greeks of the mainland rose to assert their
independence of Turkish rule. Then as
now the Governments of the great nations
saw danger to themselves in the struggle
and endeavored to suppress the patriots.
Then as now, however, the sympatfies of
the people of all countries were with the
Greeks, and it was in vain the diplomats
attemp pied to silence the voice OF human
ity and to battle the popular desire to see
Greece resume her place among the
nations of the earth.
As Gladstone speaks for Greece to-day
so Byron more eloquent than Gladstone
himself spoke for her then. In America
Fitz- Greene Halleck added the influence
of his genius to that of Byron and reused
American sympathy with Greece to a
genuine fervor by that noble ode to Marco
Bozzaris, which is still treasured among
the best possessions OF our poesy. For
more than tsn years the Greeks fought for
national independence in much the same
way the Cubans are fighting now. In the
end the apathy OF the Governments of the
nations was overcome. Diplomacy was
forced to give way &c public sentiment.
The great nations at last interfered on
behalf of the heroic patriots, and Greece
was free.
1t would have been we'll for Europe had
the statesmen of that time been wise
enough to deal with the subject thor
onghIy and unite all the Greeks in one
nation. They chose. however. the other
course and gave to freedom as little as
they could. They left the Greek islands
and Macedonia in posse ssion of the Turk,
and to-day Europe reaps the sad conse-
quences Of that fault of the statesmen OF a
bygone age. 1t remains to be seen whether
the rulers of Europe at this time will be
wise enough to profit by the warning Of
that mistake. or whether they will COM
NIT the same blunder and for the sake of
temporary peace attempt once more to
compromise an issue which can never be
settled until it is settled right.
We have seen in the later years of this
century the Italians and the Germans
fight their way to national unity. The
