THE GLORY or GREECE.
Soul Stirring Memories of the For
ner COnuuesta

Soul Stirring Memories of the For
mer Conquests.
With what burning words did Byron
at the beginning of this century call
upon Greece to cast of the shackles
with which the Turk bad bound her
and resume once more her rightful
place among the nations of the earth.
They were needed. With the soul-stir-
ring memories of Marathon and Their
n,opylae, of Salamis, Platea and Arbela
in mind, the Greeks commanded by
Marco Bozzaris and Lord Byron him.
self, succeeded in overwhelming the
Turks and achieving hard-earned in
dependence. -
1t is well-defned axiom that in war
the morale engendered by the business
of the principle commended for frequent
ly nulifies the preponderating forces of
an adversary. Nowhere is this more
evidentthan in the history of the Greeks
themselves. When in the fifth century,
Z. c., the hordes of Darius and Xerxes
successfully burst upon southeastern
Europe it was not alone the existence
of Greece that was threatened, but the
whole progress of human civilizatio as
well. This truth is pertinently ex-
pressed by Sir Edward Greasy, who says
that had the battle of Marathon result
ed differently the Persian would be the
prevailing language of England to-day.
Of course, the Greeks could not foresee
the vast consequences which at that
time depended upon their heroism, but
they knew that they were fighting for
their liberties, and that was enough.
at Mara thon over 100000 Persians were
put to flight by 1900 men. At the
naval battle of Salamis the Greek fleet,
although outnumbered seven to one,
achieved an overwhelming victory, and
at Thermopylae 800 Spartans and 700
1>hespians, under Leonidas, held the
pass for three days against the assaults
of 100000 Persians..
Napoleon, "the coarse-minded sa-
breur,' as the perfdious Talleyrand
termed him, once remarked that God
was always on the side of the strongest
artillery, but he lived to realize his mis-
take. Had any such doctrine as that
been universally believed the round
heads of Cromwell, the minute men of
Lexington and Concord, and the pa
triots of Maceo and Gomez would never
have been heard of, and this it is that,
with her glorious past in mind, encour-
ages Greece TO hope for victory in her
struggle with Turkey.-Syracuse Stand

contention was that the importations in
question consisted solely Of hat trimmings,
on which the duty under the Mckinley tar

that the merchandise was used chiefly for
dresses and dress trimmings, and that the
duty of SO per cent. levied by the govern

American markets were much more Eighty

been discussed and partly discounted for
months. BUT the uncertainty remains, and
will affect the movement of money and
staples until it disappears, creating q
larger demand for American produce at
higher prices, causing hasty speculative
selling OF securities at times, but also more
continuous buying by foreign investors,

THE TOWNS OF CRETE.

writer in the st. Petersburg We'd

the towns of Crete: "Candia, Retimo.

Heraklion, one of the ports of Cnossus.
The distance between Cnossus and Cam
dia is under an hours walking, and in
antiquity the two places were connect

tween Piraeus and Athens. In the time
of Venetian sovereignty Gambia en-

have left little or nothing of the city's
ancient splendor. Tournefort has
called it only the carcass of city. It's
chief monuments are the remains of
the church of St. Francis and the old
Latin cathedral to St. Titus. It's popu-
lation is between $4,000 and $4,000,
mostly Mussulmans. The port is pro-
tected by two moles, but the sand has
been allowed to silt up 50 much that
only very small vessels can enter. It's
chief trade is with Trieste, which takes
from it raisins and oil in return for
soap. Canea comes next to Gambia,
with population of II 900, equally di-
vided between Christians and Moham-
medans. Canea is the ancient Cydonia.
The modern town dates from 1852, and
is the principal port of the island, the
commercial capital, and the residence
of the foreign consuls. Not far from
Canea is the admirable anchorage of
Suda bay. Retimo, the third town, is
SIS miles southwest of Gambia. It's popu-
lation is not far above 3,OOO."-N. Y.

The State Fair.

The premium list of the state fair
has been revised with a generous hand,
and the offers made are more liberal
and comprehensive than any hereto
fore announced by the society. The
large amounts offered for horses in
other years are repeated, with addi-
tional classes and prizes for harness
and saddle horses. Additional classes
have been opened for cattle, increasing
the competition among breeders, and
the general interest in the department.
The usual large offers are made for
sheep, swine and poultry, with some
additions. The amount offered for
creamery butter has been increased
frym S14O to $3.50, while other liberal
offers of year ago in the dairy depart
ment are repeated Premiums for farm
and orchard products are also largely
increased, thus giving new impetus to
the exhibition of dairy. agricultural
and horticultural products. The ma
chinery, honey, forestry and mineral
exhibits will each be in greater prom
inence than in other years. The
woman's department will be made I'M
usually attractive, and the main build
ing will be filed with wonderful
profusion of miscellaneous exhibits.
The sum of $1,000 is offered for county
exhibits, an increase of $500 over the
amount given last year.
A farmers institute will be held each
day in Institute hall, under the man
agement of Supt o, C. Gregg, assisted
by the best talent obtainable.

meant to have it. He added, however,
that he proposed to follow Corbett's
example as dictator of the prize ring,

earn reputation as a fighter, instead of
a boxer, before he presumed to caal-
lenge him.

transfer of saloon licenses, and as an

illegal those made under conditions

in the past oftentimes exercised great poll

Ger of the society thus expressed himself
this afternoon: 1T has been discovered
that membership in the organization OPP
crates to the injury in prejudice of those
holding office and of those who are seeking
appointment. For that reason and for
others il has been deemed best to shut up
shop. This step has been resolved on after
consultation with a great number of the
leading members of the organization. Not
long ago member made an application
for either appointment or promotion, and
his papers, which bore the Endorsement of
the Illinois association, were returned to
back of his application that the department
receiving it could not recognize an indOrSe-
ment which purpOrted to set forth the pO-
Htical services OF the applicant or the poll
tics of the indorSerS. That broke our
hearts, and We concluded that if our in
dOrSement was an injury to our friends we
had better get out of business, and that is
what we propose to do.
