Russian Comment on the Paci fication of

ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-The Of

government as to the Cretan situation.

has been shown by the action of the
powers toward the Hellenic govern
ment. The Greek note in reply to the
powers endeavors, in spite of the prac-
tlcal utility of a system of autonomy
for Crete, to prove that annexation to
Greece will alone end state of an
archy. While consenting to recall her
ships, Greece persists that the coop

pacitication of the island, after which
a plebiscite should decide the fate of
Crete.
Greece Should Acquiescs.
"Such an attitude is unsatisfactory.
The powers had not in the present case
to consult the opinion of the Greek
government. They simply expressed
to Athens in succinct terms the decision
imposed by circumstances. whereunto
it was for Greece to conform. In re-
fusing to heed this decision, Greece
gives clear proof that under a pretext
of assuring a condition of peace and
order in Crete, she is really pursuing
much less disinterested object. namely,
annexation by surprise.
1.-The powers are too unanimously Y re-
solved to maintain peace in the East
to sanction such designs. They find
themselves compelled, though much
against their will, to have recourse to
vigorous measures which they shrink
from adopting in regard to Greece. AT
the same time they will have i'll the re-
sources at their disposal sure means
of pacifying Crete without the CO.

AN EPIDEMIC OF STATUTES.


Chicago Chronicle
The millennium will not come any sooner
through the efforts OF the bucolic legtsla-
tors with their patent, blown-in-the-bottle
statutory medicines for every moral i'll
that affects the human family. The old
world has A habit Of jogging along at a
tolerably even pace. and as the sum or
human enlightenment increases there is a
growing tendency In well regulated COM
munities 10 rank common sense higher
than statutory law. The higher the civili-
cation the less need is there to harass in
dividuals and communities with petty re-
strictions that have their birth in a mis-
taken notion that every one will go wrong
unless regulated by statute.
The prevailing epidemic Of statute-mak-
ing in the various state legislatures has
reached an acute stage and will doubtless
be productive OF lasting harm. Not that
there Is much fear OF any curtailment OF
personal liberty. but the real danger lies
in weighing down the statute books with
dead letter laws and thus creating con-
tempt for all law. The Kansas legislator
who proposes TO enforce the ten command
ments by law is not more grotesque or
ignorant than the legislator in the same
state who proposes that no woman within
the borders of the commonwealth shall
wear corsets without paving heavy fine
An Indiana legislator has drafted a bill
levytng tax on the wearing of boards
presumably In the interest OF BARRIERS. II
would be useless 10 mention score OF
other ebullitions OF idiocy emanating from
class OF crack-hrained reformers whom
an inserutable Providence has permitted
TO masquerade for brief time as legls-
lators
Give these gentlemen rope enough and
they viii revive the Connecticut blue
laws, with numerous Improvements I'm the
line OF greater strfngency. We shall be
told by statute what TO eat drink and
wear. when TO arise and retire and how
TO regulate our families. The Puritan who
was fined for kissing his wife on Sunday
has always been subject for kindly
commlseration. IL the statute makers are
not held In cheek the present generation
Will begin 10 consider the Puritan era a
pattern OF liberality. We now have cur
few laws for children In many communi-
ties. and 1t is only step TO a paternai
statute or two for the guardianship OF
their elders after nightfall.
When the millennium does come there
will be an end OF statute-making, but be-
fore that time there viii need 10 be a
wholesale exodus OF would-be reforners
to the isles Of Araby the blest.

NOTABLE PEOPLE.

When Senator Heitfeld. the German
farmer who was elected 10 succeed Fred
Dubois of Idaho. went 10 Washington 10

river for the first time in his life.
krupp, the great German manufacturer
OF cannons. has lately completed num-
Der of paper field-pieces for the use<of the
German infantry. Their caiiber is r little
less than tto inches. and the pieces are
so light that one soldier can easily carry
one. But the resistance Is greater than
that of field-piece of steel OF the same
caliber.

and ounces and has leaves made OF the

ant of books weighs fifty pounds. and Is
provided with two complicated pao.ocks.
The book cost the doctor $50.
Alexander Gilchrist, who has Just died

person in Philadelphia, and men whose
names are known throughout the civil

as an old friend. The hate Gen. Phil Sher-

The Loss in Ninety Years.
American Economist.

AHeFItAu EcOnoTnist-
Few people IN the United States are
aware OF the fact that the carrying capa-
city OF American vessels in the foreign
trade OF the United States--that is 20 say.
the tonnage Of our own vessels CARRYING
our own imports and exports-is less In
1897 than II was in 1871. Such IS. however.
the fact. The value OF the imports and ex-
ports of the United States has increased
twenty-fold. and yet there Is slightly less
aggregate OF American tonnage in our for
eign trade now than there was ninety
years ago. Such comparisons as this strik-
tngiy convey 70 our minds what a fearful
loss the nation suffers from the lack OF do
ing its own carrying in its own ships in its
own foreign trade.
