Struggle for Liberty.
The final grafton was delivered by Mr..
wilbur Allen Scott summary Is as
follows:
The Cretans worked heart and soul with
the Greeks i'm their struggle for liberty.
A few months ago the Christian governor
OF Crete was replaced by Moslem, an
imposition which the Cretans were un-
able to endure. A struggle of the Chris
tians among them followed and tho Gre
tans were again forced 10 take UP the
arms they had but just now laid aside.
Bound by the sacred ties Of blood and ro
ligion, what could be more natural than
tnht the liberty loving Greeks should look
upon the wretched CREAMS in their hour
OF distress with sadness and sympathy
Public opinion, the greatest of all factors
in determining the policy of "a nation. lhad
| been at work among them for long
time. Now 10 broke forth with unity
and fervency that was irresistible. In
| the face of such public opinion there was
| but one course open To the Grecian nation
and so Greece accepting full responsible.
| ity for her acts " fully espoused the cause
OF the Cretans. 1t was courageous-
| perhaps a rash position TO take, but a po-
| sition which received the unlimited COM
mendation Of every liberal minded person
in the civilized world.
The sudden and unexpected defeat OF
| the Greeks has hushed tho praise which
| but a few months ago was on every lip.
| The noble motives which led her 20 enter
the contest and the heavy odds against
which she was forced TO contend, have in
| the hour of her defeat been forgotten.
| But in future time, when the fair hand
| of Justice shall have recorded the facts.
| the Greeks will receive just credit for
their courageous stand. Then patriots In
| every land will reverence the struggle In
which plucky, heroic Greece, with all the
world against her, bravely championed
the cause of liberty and freedom.
