In all this movement Of the Greek
faith upon the stronghold of the sultan,
Greece and Crete were yitally interested.
Greece, whose own independence of Turkey
had only been achieved in 1929, after a
long and bloody war or revolution, IN
uuestionably would have joined her CO.
religionists OF Russia and the Balkans, if
she had not been prevented by England.
1t required strong repression in Crete to
keep that island quiet; but in 1877 the
Christian Cretans had not yet recovered
from the effects of their gallant at
tempt, in 1866, TO throw off the hated
Turkish yoke. Because she restrained
herself on this occasion, Greece was
promised consideration at the hands of
the Berlin Congress. That body recon-
mended that Turkey should cede to her
portions of Thessaly and Albania, and this
was in part done in 1881, after much
diplomatic wrangling. The powers also
gave some attention to the situation of
Crete, but did nothing beyond exacting an
undertaking from the sultan that he would
at once put into force prescribed scheme
of administration and ref orm on the
island. Beyond the nominal compliance of
maintaining a Christian governor there
he has not kept his pledge. Abuses con-
tinued as of old, to the date of the
present outbreak, which from all ap-

ONE of the most brutal and in
excusable murders Of the age has
been committed at Hazleton, Pa,
where twenty unarmed miners were
killed and forty wounded by order
Of Republican sheriff. The men
riddled by bullets were all foreign
ers, brought over under contract by
mining syndicates to take the place
of American wOrkmen. They were
ignorant and vociferous in common
with their kind; but it is altogether
improbable that they contemplated
any breach Of the peace while on a
strike for living wages. Claiming
credit for everything good the Nc
Kinley administration can not es-
cape responsibility for this unfort-
innate affair; it must shoulder the
bad, as it. comes along.
