IT'S PITY IT'S TRUE.

Alien-ruled and cowardly-led, and
held back for months by the powers, y
it is not astonishing that the Greek
was whipped by the Turk. Neither Is
it surprising that news should come
from Athens that the royal family Is i'll
a critical position and that King George
is virtually a prisoner in his own pal
ace. There IS no doubt that if the pop
ulace Of Greece, especially of its capital,
stirred by the anger of humiliation:
could work Its will, the Danish dynasty
would be overthrown. But even the
rabbie of Athens doubtless knows that
the fate OF the defeated nation rests
with the powers, and that the terms TO
be extorted from victorious Turkey
will be only harder if there is a revolu-
ton. The king. alienated from his peo-
pie must lean upon the concert OF Eu-
rope for his retention upon the throne.
And so the world sympathizes with
Greece, not only that her people had ne
show under a ruler placed over them
by the powers, which had predetermin-
ed her woe, but that she had been hui
inflated by barbarian because her
people espoused the cause Of Christian
civilization. As Byron wrote: "'Tis
Greece, but living Greece no more"

no end of obscenity and big demand
for these journals. There is at least
THIS consolation in the refusal to prose
cute tnese plutocrats. Justice may no
longer hold the balances evenly with
blindfoided eyes. but mayhap open-eyed
discretion Is the better in some in
Chances. The fact that the recalcitrant
witness, Chapman, may be dining at
table spread galore in Washington may
be a travesty on justice and drift il
the direction of oligarchy, but there is
no telling how much of a scandal the
nation was saved by his silence. 1t
seems a difficult matter to punish the
rich for misdemeanors. but their slips
from virtue are of such greater magni-
tude than the offenses of the poor that
the well-being of the people may be
best conserved by shielding the rich III

moralizing acts.

THE TARIFF THEN CUBA.

Gage said, in Cincinnati, that after
the tariff would come the settlement of
the currency question, by which. we
suppose, he meant a commission to re-
bort to congress next fall. 4 commits
sion made up of capitalists, should they
recommend the retirement of the green
back without returning an equal
amount to the volume of the currency,
will mean trouble for the Republican
party. The greenback as an endless
chain on the gold reserve is unques-
tionably Objectionable, but you can't
convince the majority of the people of
that fact, or if convinced, they will not
agree to any proposition wiping out the
greenback in the absence of a subst
tute for it. In the mean time the silver
commission sent to Europe seems 10 be
making unexpected Roadway in the di-
rection Of bimetallism.
We take it that Mr.. Gage is more Of
a banker than statesman. The issue
whiclrw will urge itself upon the McKin-
ley administration the first thing after
the tariff will be the Cuban question, in
all likelihood to be followed by that Of
Hawaii Mr. Calhoun, President Nc
Kinley's special envoy to Cuba, is on
his way back. Calhoun will report in
favor of stopping the Cuban war peace
fully If possible, but for stopping it at
all events. Calhoun is not a jingo but
he has seen too much Indebtedness and
woe, of destruction and disaster by the
Spaniards in Cuba. He will therefore
urge President Mckinley to act at
once and vigorously. While it is mani
festly the presidents intention to hold
the Cuban matter in allegiance pending
tariff revision, nobody can doubt that
he holds the same convictions entertain
ed by Harrison, which are directly OPP
posed to the policy pursued by Cleve-
land. Mckinley has shown studied and
careful elaboration, his obvious policy
being to gain exact information, but be-
hind 1t all is an evident Impotence over
Spain's inhumanity. Public opinion
has been with the president in his pru-
dence and in his sympathy for Cuba,
but public opinion will demand action
Immediately the tariff question is out of
the way. All fear of deficits in the
treasury removed, there will be taken
a deep breath by the public, which will
be followed by more or less Of demon
stration in behalf of Cuba. The Cuban
question undoubtedly is expediting the
tariff bill, and Calhoun's report will
prove an additional stimulus

BOOMS ON CLIMATE

There are TWO cities of this country
which have distinctively doomed on eli

uvitiss or the like, but by the surplus
expenditures of The rich hunting FOR

PARTY IDENTIFICATION.

Party ties are perceptibly loosening.
Civil service reform IS knocking out the
links, and the strong cable will soon
be but scattered and widely disconnect-
cd parts Of a once strong chain. So far
as the federal patronage Is concerned,
Cleveland's last two orders, if not re-
voked, will give us runty aristocracy
of Office holders who viii discharge the
duties and enjoy the pay and perquis-
ties which have constituted the great
est incentive TO active partisanship. We
are not saying that this would not be
for the best or that 1t would be against
the permanency of our institutions. We
deal but with the logic of the thing.
The first indication of these loosening
ties iwll be seen and experienced in the
cities City governments will drop on
10 business lines. City elections will
line up over local policies and material
questions As municipal government is
the most peIplexing problem confront
ing writer's and statesmen of the times.
II may be that n-partiSanship may
solve the question OF city government.
The tendency, the sentiment now evinc-
ed by the public on the proposed Great
er New York is for the uniting of the
best elements In the selection Of Of
fcers. Tammany is putting forth every
effort to secure the control OF the city.
Senator Plat, the political boss, has
declared within the week that there
must be q straight Republican ticket
for the city of Greater New York.
Tammany will promise the spoils of Of
fee Plat will be weakened and en-
barraSsed because of the civil service
lists. The probable result will be
non-partisan ticket which will be
against political rings and office-reward.
The Citizens Union movement which
is now so strong, and which, indeed,
bids for possible success, would have
been impossible except for the civil ser
vice lists, which SECURE so many active
politicians in their places.
As for the national party organiza-
tons. all of the places not included in
the civil list. which places are open only
TO competitive examinations. will he dis
trfbuted at the instigation OF the bigger
bosses This will leave for active par
tlsanship only that class of politicians
found upon the stump during campaign
times. They will neither rustic nor
heel. The rustler and heeler will dis
appear IN the absence of the office in
centive TO work. The only work will
he by those paid for it in cold cash.
This kind of work viii lack inspiration.
therefore prove unsatisfactory, and will
In turn be abandoned. The day parade
of banners. and the torchlight process
sion at night. will in the end be drop
ped out There Will be left the public
appeal Of the stump orator who cannot
appeal TO party pride or prejudice but
who will have 10 confine himself 10
general issues. which carry little or no
enthusiasm OF the fireworks kind. When
tie politician and affice-holder makes Il
mistake, or blunders, he will have no
clackers and hackers at home 10 excuse,
palliate or 10 cover the matter IN. This
will also have a tendency 10 party dis
iuteSration.

MOBS ARE COSTLY.

In the strikes which occur in the fu-
ture the authorities and the taxpayers
will probably take a hand where law
lessness and destruction of property is
threatened. Chicago has just learned
a lesson, the outcome of the riots of
1894.
Judge Grosscup of the federal court
in Chicago has just rendered a decision
in one CT the cases brought to recover
damages because of the destruction of
railway property during the riots in
that city three years ago. He holds
tina. the city is liable for damages.
This is in line with a decision render
ed few days since by one of the minor
courts. and it was TO have been expect
ed. The taxpayers of Chicago will
doubtless have to pay the greater part
of the million dollars or more involved
in these suits, and it is right that they
should do SO. OF course they were not
responsible for the failure Of their
aScutS, tllC luCh lhOy hoN SASNSSN
to Office, to do their sworn duty by en-
forcing tie law and preserving order.
The collection of heavy damages from
the taxpayers Of Chicago for the de-
structlon Of property during those riots
will serve to show the interest which
all the people ought to have In the
preservation Of order and protection Of
property rights. Every taxpayer down
to the least, is personally interested in
the preventing of mob violence, either
to persons or property. by the use of
every force at the command Of the mu-
nicipal authorities, and every such tax
payer ought to arise in protest against
a municipal officer If he fails in any
way to exercise his authority and power
to that end when occasion requires.
