TIE Chancellor of the Diocese of London couldn't tell whether New England was part of Massachus setts" or not. In fact, it might be out in Nevada for all he knows to the contrary. Nor could any Of the ecclesiastica officials who were with him at the London gathering of dig nitaries held to discuss the question Of the restoration Of the log of May flower to the United States enlight- en him on this Donit. Probably all those persons know more about the political divisions and history of Russia or China than they do of tLos of the United States Still, ignor- ance of American affairs is far less prevalent in England now than it was along to fifteen or twenty years ago. = Globe Democ dt.

4 Dead Seq Serpent Found.

A most remarkable specimen of a monster fish or sea serpent has just been discovered, washed ashore on South beach, by Herbert Cole and Dunham Coretter, two bioyclists of St. Angus. tine, Fla, who were soorohing on the beach. Prominent scientists are unable to state to what family the thing be. longs. Its body, which is estimated to weigh about five tons, has sunk into the sand to considerable depth, but that portion above the surface measures sS feet in length, 4 feet in height and more than IS feet across the widest part of the back The hide is of light pink color. nearly white, and in the sun shine has distinct, silvery appearance. It is very tough and cannot be pene. trated even with sharp penknife.

WHEN man asks an editor to suppress news, he not only asks him to throw away part of his stock in trade, but he requests him to violate contract with his subscribers and the general public. This is a thing which no conscientious man will do. His refusal may possibly make few enemies, but in the end he will lose nothing by keeping faith with the public. It is well to be obliging, but better to be honest.-Exchange. And it is remarkable tact that those who have the least right to re, quest newspaper to suppress news are usually the quickest ones about doing it. It is strange, but they never seem to think about their local paper until they get into trouble or run for an office.

RHSlA,s -KAITIN4 CAME.

Sooner or later Ru sia expects to acquire Constantinople and the Bosphorus; and, fl not to aunex he little principalities of the Balkans, she expects at least to hold them all under the sort of moral subiectiou in which she now holds Montenegro. Russia's is q waiting game. Ser agents are scattered everywhere throughout the Balkan States and Provinces, and her influence is gradually but surely obtaining con trol over the destinies of the whole Turkish empire.
 It is the Russian theory that the longer the nominal integrity of ths Ottoman empire can be main tained, the larger will be Russia's share when the sham structure goes to pieces. In the attitude of the great powers, German, Russian, and Austrian Influence has been most unmistakably against Greece, while the English, French, and Italian governments have acted with the three arbitrary Kaisers with evident reluctance and misgivings. It is to be remembered that in England, France and Italy, government rest upon public opinion. Mir. Gladstone and the Liberals upset Disraeli's government in 1876 on the question of the Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria. The Italian government was not very long ago overthroWn on the is- sues involved in the Abyssinian campaign. The French chambers are sensitive to the opinion Of the country, and the ministry cannot survive strong disapproval, But Russia, Germany, and Austria are governed differently. In matters of foreign policy the three Emperors and their immediate advisers ac- knowledge no popular or parliamen- tary control. Germany is osten- tatiously supporting the Czar, be- cause of the em mbarrassmentiu which France is placed. There is an inn mense public opinion in France that loves liberty, feels a sentimental att tachment for the cause of the Greeks, and sympathizes with the utteranees of MT. Gladstone and the views of the English and Italian Liberals. But, on the other hand, France elings to the outward appear ance of strong alliance with Russia. Germany, which would like to be OF good terms with Rusia, ito annoy France if for nc other reason, has no troublesome scru- ples about liberty and the Hellenic cause, and is only too eager to abet the plans of St, Petersburg From .The Progress of the Word, in April Reojeao of Regie,os.

HOW TO SETTLE HE GRE.
 TAN QUESTYON

King George and hls government have declared their entire willing ness to assume the task of practical government in Crete, while allow ing the Sultan to retain his nominal zerainty over the island. Such an arrangement would have nothing anomalous about it, for it would fol- low the analogy of Bosnia and Her zegovina, which for nearly twenty years have been governed by Aus tria while nominally belonging to Turkey. Cyprus also has been in the possession of England since the treaty of Berlin, but is comprised, theoretically in that fictitious entity known as the Turkish empire Egypt years ago was placed under the full government of the Khediye, with nominal allegiance to the Sul- tan at Constantinople; and now Egypt is practically governed by England, witch acknowledges the authority of the KhediVe as a legal fiction, who in turn acknowledges as a second legal fiction the au- thority of the Sultan. Bulgaria, al- though in fact a self-goyerening, popularly-ruIed princtpality, is in theory paat of the dominions of the Sultan. Thus the prece dents for the plan proposed by Greece are numerous. The natural and right way to settle the Cretan question for all time is to give the island into the keeping of Greece. -- From tThe Progress of the World, in April Recie,o of Reuie,os.

TIE GRAPHIC is not a practical joker It does not needlessly alarm and force upon an unsuspecting and dsfenseless public, imaginary tales of calamity, horrifying in every de- Gail. It believes in giving it's sub scribers the legitimate news in a truthful manner, and t also believes that there is enough calamity in the world already without manufactur- ing tales of horror with no found ation in fact.
