THE TROUBLE IN CRETE.

The recent development of the
| troubles in Crete has come near up
setting the equilibrium of the Great
Powers. There has been state of
war existing there for some time, be-
ween the Greek christians and the
up the part of the Christians against
the Turks. For months the Great
Powers of Europe have stood by and
watched the Turks massacre the
Christians and done nothing except
for an occasional remOnstrance, and
now, when Greece comes to the aid
of the oppressed people, the Powers,
fearing that with her $500 troops
she may prove too much for the 1000
600 cowardly troops of the Sultan,
have ordered her to withdraw her
from the Island of Crete under penal
ty of suffering an attack from the
combined powers of Europe. In spite
of this tremendous array Greece per-
sists in following the course that she
had started upon, and in the face of
the fleets of she Powers she fired up
on Turkish vessel which had refus-
ed to stop when asked to. The Pow
ers claim that war between Turkey
ard Greece would be sure to bring on
a great Europeon war, and to avoid
this, they propose to stand by and
quietly watch the Turks put hundreds
Of the Christians 10 death, and if any
other Power proposes to put stop
to the work of the bloodthirsty Turks
they will step in and use all their pow

what might happen if he was left to
fight his own battles 1t will be in
teresting to watch what the Powers
Will do if Greece persists in refusing
to heed them. What will the masses
of the people of the world think of

Since the strongest navies have
not been tested as sailing and fighting
machines, and are subject to some
serious inadvertencies or peculiari-
ties on peace footing, in port, and
along the coasts, the questions of fu-
ture construction must be carefully
weighed. Possibly we have enough
battle ships, and should strengthen
our navy in cruisers of moderate size,
monitors, gun boats and torpedo
boats. Allowance must also be made
for the results lof some remarkable
experiments with submerged torpedo
boats now under way. 1t is claimed
that the Holland torpedo boat, about
to be launched at Baltimore, can re-
main under water for three days
without Inconvenience, and that
it can explode torpedoes under the
enemies ships and then easily escape
without harm to herself. It's ara
ment consists of five torpedoes each
II feet long and carry 800 pounds of
explosives. It's speed is eight knots
andIit performs its deadlyswork any
where between the surface of the sea
and 80 to 100 feet Or more below. If
this strange craft proves to be prac-
tical success, America will have rev.
naval warfare for the
second time.

The statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World is not out of place; and it
will not be out of place after the bill
for the restriction of immigration has
gone into effect. But it is not too
much to require, as Mr.. Hall suggests,
that immigrants coming here shall be
liable to read the fundamental law of
the land in the light of Liberty's
torch.n
Ever since the foundation of our
government we have welcomed mil
lions of them and have given the
same chance with ourselves. But
American citizenship has cost some
thing and it is worth something; and
it should not be cheapened by being
distributed broadcast among aliens
who cannot read GA write a word in
any language, and who by reason of
that circumstances are incapacitated
for citizenship.
We shall go on enlightening the
world, but we have not undertaken
the contract to relieve all the igro
rance and incapacity from all quar-
ters of the globe which may be landed
upon our shores.-JournaL.

would be far preferable. It does not
seem possible that the English peo-
pie would ever sustain their govern
ment in such an action, and it is
doubtful if the masses of the people
of the other governments named
would do so. If the Powers would
take lesson from the action of Greece
and put stop to all further Turkish
atrocities they would do we'll. The
United States, too, might well heed
the actions of Greece and extend
more helping hand to Cuba, who, ly-
ing at our very door is struggling
against oppression.

The Samoan Herald has the follow
to say in regard to Chief Justice Hen
ry @. Ide:
cit has been the final year of the
administration of the Chief Justice.
and Mr.. Ide has shown energy worthy

Throughout the whole twelve months
the Samoan Supreme Court has been
kept going at high pressure, until the
vast arrear Of Land Appeals, remain
ing as the result of the international
Land Commission, have been finally
dealt with. Mr.. Ide leaves Samoa
with clean record as just and able
Judge; few OF his decisions have been
questioned, and the volume of work
which he has managed to put through

ly to be rivaled, for human nature, in

One of Edison's best points is that
his inventions come up to his early
announcements of them. The incan-
descent light cost him a world of
trouble, but he stuck to it through
years of experiment and gave it full
commercial standing in the world.
When he stated that he had found a
substance that, in connection with
the X-rays will disclose to the eye
of the surgeon the most delicate it's
sues of the interior OF the body, it is
safe to say that all he expects will be
realized from his new discovery, de-
tails of which are still withheld. Ed
ison has improved the Horoscope,
and much will oe added to his fame
if he can render diagnosis matter of
minute certainty.

In note in the Transcript, Mr.
Prescott F. Hall, Secretary of the I'M
migration Restriction League, quotes
a paragraph from the Providence
Journal, asking what becomes of the
significance of the statue of Liberty
Enlightening the world in New York
Harbor if the immigration Restric-
ton bill is passed; and says in reply:
sSThe Providence Journal has for
cotton to state that the statue of Lib
erty not merely carries torch in one
one hand, but book in the other;
and this, properly interpreted, means
not merely that immigrants shall be
educated to higher degree after
they get here, but that they should be
able to read the fundamental law of
the land by the light of Liberty,s
torch, in order to entitle them to en-
JOY the advantages which such
liberty has produced.n
That is well and neatly put. The
meaning of the bill could hardly be
better defined, at least with reference
to clearing away the misapprehen-
sions of sentimentalists, then it is in
these words. The measure is not
aimed at deserving and Industrious
immigrants, but at the offscouring of
the earth, the refuse of other lands,
the debasely ignorant and incapable,
who've been coming to US OF late by
ten thousand, and adding to the
squalor and crime of our great cities.

Peru, too, would like to enter into
reciprocal relations with the
United States. Peru and Chill
both refused to negotiate reciprocity
treaties before. Now they are both
eager to conclude them as soon as the
new administration comes into power
in Washington. This is tribute to
the value of the Republican policy
which cannot be gainsaid.

"INCREASED EXPORTS.n

Here in the United States we hear 6
great deal of talk by the Free Trade
mock economists on our increase Of
exports in the last year.
AS the Press frequently has shown
| the statistics of exports do not tel
the whole story. In the first place, a
part of our increase Of exports is in
cluded in the value of the product Of
the great Standard Oil Trust, the in
crease being due, not to an increased
quantity of oil, but to rise in price
made possible by a curtailment of
| output and an advance in the selling
| price. Furthermore, while discussing
exports it is necessary always, if we
| wish to be honest, to consider imports
in the same lines of articles.
II may sound big, for instance, to
brag about an increase in exports of
agricultural implements, drugs, cop
per, cotton manufactures, glass ware,
iron and steel, leather, paper, woods,
etc., amounting to $35, 100000; but
when we find that our increase of i'm :
ports of these same articles amounts
to more than 800, 100000 over the
Mckinley period, it is impossible to
extract any satisfaction from the in
creased balance against us in these
products of $50, 100000.
There is another melancholy truth
about our exports: They have been
roado IN m onv i,,cto r,rxsse, x1,;tl,o,,+ oro
fit. Chairman Dingley has given the
correct explanation of the situation.
An American who has produced a
a given quantity of articles and can
not find for them market at home
will sometimes seek any market at
any price which will give him back.
something. 1t is not a question of
making profits; it is a question of saw
ing something, however little, out of
sure losses. We may take the case of
man who has produced for our
market hundred thousand tons of
pig which he cannot sell at home.
He has paid his labor wages, his in
vestment charges and all other ex-
penditures incident to getting to the
market that hundred thousand tons of
pig-iron. He is anxious to get back
some of that money. If he cannot
get it all back with slight profit and
needs money, he will take what he
can get. He is anxious to save what
he can out of the wreck; so, rather
than lose all that he has expended on
producing his g-iron, he is glad to
lose only part. Instead of losing
s400, 600, let us say, he gets off with a
loss of 100000, and the Wilson law
people call this doing a fine business!
If it costs SO ton to produce the
pig iron, and it is sold in England
freight charges being So a ton-say,
for SO, because it could not be sold in
this country for Sc ton, there is a
fine increase in export trade for the
Wilson law people to talk about, but
there is not a cent of advantage for
the producer Of the pig iron or for
this country's trade.-N. Y Press.
