Unnecessary Alarm.

Some sentiments Were recently utter
ed before the Illinois Bar association
by Clarence S. Darrow. a leading Chi
cago lawyer, which have occasiored
heated and acrimonious discussion. Mr.
Darrow said:

been to aid the powerful and i1ci. AGAINST

talents are for sale &c the highest bidder
and the corporation and syndicate are

the feelings and preJuo'ces that have
grown into them by long practice and
training, and a constant viewing OF ques-
tons from the side OF the powerful ana

WILL THE SULTAN DARE.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
1t would be a righteous visitation upon
that cowardly and inhuman conspiracy
known as the European concert If the
sultan were to snap his fingers in the
faces Of the powers and tell them that
ne intends to hold Thessaly whether
they will or no. He is doing something
now which already closely rese enbles that
performance, for he is holding Thessaly
and actually strengthening himself in the
possession. while he amuses the ambas-
sadors with daily conferences at the Yil-
diz Kiosk. What we should like, how
ever, would be the spectacle of the sultan
throwing off all pretense and disguise
and telling the powers to go to the devil
for good and all.
The only question is whether Abdul
Hamid can bring himself to be frankly
honest even in his hatred and his in
science. That he intends to keep Thes-
sally, we can hardly doubt. He knows
how profoundly the powers distrust and
dislike each other, and he erstands
that if he openly defed them t.-y would,
in all human probability, be at one anoth-
ers throats long before they could agree
upon a. serious demonstration against
him. He has not forgotten the humiliat-
ing failure of the concerted attempt to
bully him in the Armenian affair. He
scarcely hidden rancor set all the coun-
ellis of the powers OF naught. He watched
and laughed while the Christian nations
left him free to work his will in the
Caucasus because they could rot trust
each other to carry out in good faith and
genuine unsoltishness what they pro
claimed as a holy Christian duty. He
| realizes with his Asiatic cunning that,
were he to defy Europe now, he would
simply bring about a repetition of the
shame and scandal of year ago. But
will he, can he rise to the achievement of
an honest and oCtspoken challenge? VIII
he not, on the contrary, adhere to the
more corgenial role of dissimulation and
so enable the European governments to
screen their hypocrisy and cowardice?
| We should like to gee the sultan, by one
| bold stroke of brutal candor put these
canting Christians in the full light of

Will Act, but When ?

The case of the two naturalized
American citizens, Bolten and Richie
lieu, which the senate committee on
foreign affairs recommends to the pres
ident's attention with the implied ad-
vice to right it at whatever cost, in
wolves a peculiarly gross and inde-
fensible violation Of treaty rights by
Spain. We printedsan outline of the
facts on Thursday morning; but lest
this may not have met each readers
eye we now repeat the narrative.
Bolton and Richelieu, the one a ma
tive of Switzerland, the other of
France, but both naturalized, are sail
ors. on Feb. 5. 1895, armed with pass
ports as Americans, they set out in
small open boat from Port au Prince,
Haiti, to fish for green turtle 1t was
their intention to drift to Cape Haitian,
but stress of weather drove the lit
tie boat to the Cuban coast. Half fam
ished, the men landed at Santiago de
Cuba. Here they produced their pa
pers, explained their distress, and
asked to be directed to the United
States consul. They We're Immediate
ly seized thrown into prison, and kept
in close confinement 60 days. At the
expiration of this period they were re-
leased, no charge having been brought
against them or satisfaction eX-
tended. While in prison BOlten con-
tracted yellow fever and both men suf-
fered great injury to health.
It is needless to add that for this
unauthorized seizure and imprison-
Spanish American treaty of 1895 and
the protocol of 1877, indemnity was
sought; but in September of last
year the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish
minister of foreign affairs, notified
cur government that Spain finds
itself obliged to reject in an alb
solute manner the demand for an
indemnity, considering this case fin
ally and irrevocably ended" a piece
of effrontery which the Cleveland ad-
ministration appears to have swal-
lowed, and which the Mckinley admin
istration, up to this time, has taken
no visible steps to resent.
We have every reason to believe that
the president will eventually do his
duty in this as in Other phases of the
Cuban problem; but the deliberation
with which progress is made in the
premises and especially the obnoxious
restraint which is put upon the senti-
ment for Cuba in the house of repre-
sentatives naturally provoke impati-
ence among the people. Our remark
able forbearance under Spanish provo
cation ought to win for us glory in
history if it does not tend TO increase
the respect shown to American citi-
zenship by the other nations of our
day.
