there was not one that was not encored. 1he
several pictures were: Queen OF the Fairies,
Black and White ian artists term). Poster,

of officials from the State provides that no

more than sky days, except on Official busi-

THE CRETAN TRouBLEs-F J. s. and NJ. E.
NJ, City. The present insurrection in Crete is
the ninth since the island came into the pos
session of the Turks. in 1869. The many
troubles on the island led in 1868 to the pro.
mitigation of an organic law which made
liberal concessions to the Cretans, but it was
never put into practice. The Cretans appealed
to the Berlin Congress through the Greek
delegates for an amelioration OF their condi-
tion. A result OF that appeal was the adoption
of the following, which was signed by the rep
resen tatives OF Turkey:
The Sublime Porte undertakes TO apply scrupu..
ousiy to the island of crete the organic law Of
1868, while introducing into 1t the notifications
which may be considered advisable
The Turks, however, did not trouble them
selves about the organic law aud conducted
the affairs on the island with such high
hsnd th at in 1878 there was another insurrec-
ton, which was followed by another agree
ment with the Chriltian delegates. By that
treaty the Turks were to allow the Cretans to
have Christian Governor and limited au-
tonomy was granted. That tarran cement would
have worked well but the Turks did not carry
out their compact. Nj ssulman Governor was
sent to the island. and then followed the in
surrection of 1889 when the Sultan abolished
all prIvile ges. The latest revolt commenced on
July 8, 1895, and 4. has been followed by
the slaughter of Christians, as has been an
nounced from time to time through the press
On the 5th of last July the Cretans es ia D.
lished a Provisional Government, and on the
oath Of August Turkey announced its will. ng-
ness 10 make q settleme ent and allow a Chris
tian Governor, the establishment of Cretan
financial autonomy and the payment OF a
tribute TO the Sultan. The Cretans waited
until February l, but nothing being done by
the TURKS as promised, and greater haruships
and indignities being heaped upon them.
they struck for liberty, and Greece responded
The CretanS do not want independence but
want to be annexed to Greece, In short, the
cause OF the trouble is the failure of the Turks
to keep their promises 10 the Cretans.

The decision OF the Supreme Court on
the telephone case gives long extension
to the monopoly and disapponts many
expectations of the public. There is, of
course. no use protesting against the de-
cision, but some law should be enacted
which will prevent monopolies from play
ing the same game again. The scheme of
filing claim for patent in 1877 and not
taking it out until 1891 so as tc hold a
monopoly until 1908 is one that ought not
to be allowed to operate more than once
successfully among an intelligent people.

When the tariff comes up for discussion
in the Senate this time there will be
missed many Democrat who made Rome
howl during the last tariff debate in that
body. Voorhees, is dead; Hill, Blackburn,
Palmer, Pugh and Villas are in retirement,
George is sick, Call is seeking are-election
in Florida, and about the only men who
can be expected to make much noise are
Gorman, Vest, Morgan, Mills and Turpie.
1t is probable. moreover, that some of
these will sing low and show they have
profted by the warning of the fate of
those who made the most noise before.
