President Crespo of Venezuela has
invited ex President Cleveland to act
as senior counsel for that country be-
fore the arbitration tribunal which is
to settle the question of boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana.
This is a compliment to Mr.. Cleve-
land and no one can deny that he de-
serves it, for it was his message to
Congress which caused England to
halt in her proceedings against Vene-
zuela, and finally brought her over to
consent to arbitrate the question in
dispute. This message was Cleve-
lands one act in which he was uni
versally supported by the people of
his own country. His actions, taken
as they were in behalf of a weak ma
ton against far stronger one, should
be appreciated by Venezuela and they
undoubtedly are, as it is said that
statue of Mr.. Cleveland is to be
erected in Caracas. 1t is too bad that
he could not have conducted the Gu
ban affairs so that he would be re-
membered in that country as one who
had taken the part of the oppressed
against their oppressors instead of as
one who turned deaf ear to the cries
OF downtrodden people.

WHY GREECE LOST.

The Greco Turkish armistice af-
fords an opportunity for a study Of
the events of the brief war in the
East, revealing some of the reasons
why Greece made such poor show
ing during the continuance of hos
tililies. These reasons are wholly
discreditable to the great Christian
nations of Europe, as it appears that
the war has not been at any time
conflict between the nominal belliger-
ents, Greece aid Turkey, but between
Greece and a coalition of European
powers who have been blocking her
path and preventing her from acting
except on the defensive.
In communication to the Boston
Transcript, Mr.. Henry B. Blackwell
calls attention to the fact that "the
only hope of small nation in con-
test with a superior power lies in ag-
gression. Had Greece marched
promptly into Macedonia, calling the
Christian population to her aid, it is
probable that her army would have
been doubled, while Bulgaria would
have come to her help. But Greece
was positively forbidden by the pow
ers to cross the border, and was held
inactive until the Turkish forces had
been gathered in overwhelming pre-
ponderence and marched into Greece
armed and offcered by Europeans.
Greece was strong in her navy. She
could have paralyzed Turkey by
capturing Salonca and Smyrna. But
she was forbidden to attack these
points and was notified that if she did
SO, her feet would be crushed by the
British navy. Meanwhile her coasts
were blockaded by nations nominalIy
neutral, in violation of every prece-
dent of international law. Greece
has not been allowed a free hand
against Turkey. She has been re-
strained from invading Ottoman ter
ritory. Instead of making a cam
paign she has been subjected to the
massacre. The Turks are only the
executioners; the real authors of the
bloody work are Russia, Germany
and England. If the conflict had
lbeen between Greece unfettered and
Turkey unprepared and unassisted,
Macedon might have marched to Con-
stantinople under a new Alexander.
But Greece could not fight in fetters.
She is the victim of the most bastard
ly conspiracy recorded IN history
conspiracy of Europe and Asia, of the
Cross and the Crescent, of civiliza
ton and barbarism against freedom
and progress Statesman.

SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

The past twelve months have been
somewhat fruitful in contests for the
election of United States senators.
The Oregon legislature led off by fail
ing to organize and therefore, pre-
venting the choice Of United States
senator. The Kentucky legislature
adjourned without electing a senator
and had to be called together in ex-
ira session by the governor for the
purpose of filling vacancy. This it
succeeded in doing after a long and
bitter struggle. The contest in Flori-
da was protracted but finally resulted
in the election of Mr.. Mallory to sue
ceed Mr.. Call. The death of Senator
Earle of S. Carolina will renew the
struggle in that state, which took
place in the legislature when he was
elected to succeed Senator Irby.
There are two factions Of the Dem
ocrats in South Carolina, the Tillman
and anti -Tillman factions. Tillman
was beaten when Earle was elected,
his own candidate being John Geary
Evans. Governor Ellerbe of South
Carolina is not in full accord with
Senator Tillman and it is doubtful if
he appoints Mr.. Evans to fill the va
cancy. The reports from S. Carolina
indicate that the governor will ap-
point Congressman John L. McLaurin.
Mr.. McLaurin is the youngest man in
the South Carolina delegation. He
was attorney general for four years
and was elected to congress for a Sc
cond term last fall. He is a member
of the Ways and Means committee
and recently spoke in favor of the
duty on cotton. He belongs to the
progressive element of the Democrat
ic party and it is said, that, if he is
appointed, there will be no doubt of
his ultimate election when the legis-
lature meets next January. Exchange.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The atlantic Monthly contains an
article written by Professor Wheeler
of Cornell university on the interests
of the nations of the world in the
Eastern question. Prof. Wheeler has
spent considerable time in Athens
and has made study Of the affairs in
the East, and he has come to the con-
clusion that this question is of inter
est to all of the great nations of the
world:
Russia" he says, "is concerned
because it affects her route to the sea,
and, what is more, her relations to
England in Asia. Austria is concern
ed because it affects her prospects
among the Balkan states on the
southeast. France is concerned be-
cause it affects her commercial am
billions in the Orient, her claims in
Africa, her route to the East, and the
interests of her great ally. Germany,
through Bismark, has said that the
Eastern question is not worth the
bones of single Pomeranian grena-
dier, is yet actively concerned be-
cause of her relations to Russia and
France. England is concerned be-
cause of Russia and her lifeand-
death interest, as the maintainer of a
world empire, in the Suez canal. All
her interests in Southern Asia and in
Africa are involved. international
politics, all over the world, whatever
the apparent issue and habitat, are
resolvable into some form of the
Eastern question, and stand in some
sensitive connection which this great
political storm centre of the world the
Aegean and the Bosporus."
He finds that this country, being is
olated as it is, has no very great in
terests yet he thinks that it was this
thing which defeated the arbitration
treaty between this country and Eng
land, as it was the attitude which
England took towards Greece which
caused the defeat of the bill This
shows that our interests in the ques-
ton, though perhaps to be found
only on the humanitarian side, are,
nevertheless, sufficient to effect i'm
portant legislation.

squadron of nine new gunboats au-
thorized by the Fifty third and Fifty
fourth Congresses will all be afoat,

sells were built on the Pacific coast,
three in our South Atlantic States,
two in the Middle States and two in

President Mckinley has made an
other admirable diplomatic appoint
ment. Edwin FL. Conger of Iowa,
whom he nominates for Minister to
Brazil, has the advantage of expert
ence, for he held that post under the
Harrison administration. He is a
veteran soldier, has served several
terms in Congress, and is an excel
lent type of the sterling Western Re
publican.

If his health permitted, ex-senator
Edmunds would be most admirable

which would fit him for this post, and
qualities which the Spanish Govern
ment and people would appreciate

YOUTHFUL DEPRA VITY.

Young America occasionally de-
velops tendencies that lead to the
most alarming crimes. The murder
of a venerable bank cashier in Som
ersworth, N. H., by an immature
young man has been quickly followed
by the robbery of Bosto n bank by a
youth of 10, who took advantage of
the confidence inspired by his previ-
Gus good character to run off with
5000 in bills intrusted to him by his
employer. The influence of moral
associations, social standing, Chris
tian home, and a reputation as a
model youth, did not prevent the
absconding messenger from yielding
to temptation. In fact the evidence
goes to show that his crime was care
deliberation worthy of a hardened
criminal.
We fear that there are many other
"model youths'' whose reputation, if
tested by experience, would turn out
to be as ill-founded as that of the
messenger Of the Boylston National
bank. Too much stress is laid by par
ents and teachers upon outward ap-
pearances, and too little upon the
cultivation of a disposition not to be-
tray trusts. The habit of integrity is
one whose Importance should be care
fully impressed on the young, and
the confidential employe should be
taught that embezzlement on his part
is as disgr ace full to him as cowardice
is to the soldier. The brave soldier
does not finch when ordered to
charge the blazing cannon of the en-
emy. The right kind of training for
BOYS is that which will enable them
to handle large sums of money be-
longing to others with as little idea of
running away as the light brigade had
at Balaklava. 1t is we'll that they
should be warned against evil or in
furious habits, but it is of even more
consequence that they shall be taught
to be honest and true.
Joseph E. Kelley gave way to the
bitterest grief after his capture in
Canada, and we doubt not the young
Boston fugitive would be equally
overcome if caught with his booty.
This kind of sorrow, however, is as
worthless as that of Prior's Norman
who mourned on the scaffold, not that
he murdered, but that he was taken.
Repentance in both young and old is
more effective before the sin is COM
mitted. The safety of society de-
mands that murderers and thieves,
whatever their age, be punished. And
the fact that thief has had every in
ducement to remain honest which
good birth, education, reputation and
surroundings could afford ought to be
considered as aggravating instead of
mitigating his offense

The Morgan resolutions which were
passed by the Senate seem to be side
tracked in the House. 1t is the de-
sire of President Mckinley that these
resolutions should not be passed by
the House as he wants to wait until he
can get more particulars from Cuba
before being obliged to act, and as
Speaker Reed is in close touch with
the president they will doubtless be
kept back and allow him to proceed
in whatever manner he may choose.
Consul General Lee has notified this
government that he has all the sup
plies that he needs just at present to
alleviate the sufferings among the
American residents of the island, and
now that this matter has been looked
after the government can afford to
wait until further developments be-
fore rushing into anything that may
bring on war between this country
and Spain. 1t is very likely that war
might be precipitated between the
two countries by this country recog-
'nizing the belligerency of the insur-
gents. The Spanish are very hot
headed and many of them feel that
they could easily whip the United
States if it came to clash of arms.
When President Mckinley decides
as to what should be done the coun-
try can rest assured that he will
do it without fear of ANYTHING
Spain can do.

The item in the French budget asking
for SAC, GOO, 900 for the improvement Of
the navy is an incident indicative Of the
times. The fact Is appreciated by all
civilized governments that the warfare
Of the future will be more largely upon
the high seas than by invasion of an
enemy's territory, and more attention
is being given to naval than to military
equipment. In this commercial age the
most effective fighting Is that directed
toward the destruction and Interrupt
ton of commerce and the interference
with colonial relations. Great Britain
was the FIRST Of the great nations to
see this vantage ground and to occupy
it. but the others are following briskly
after her lead.
