ty, Tex, shot and fatally wounded JOS
eph b. McNahan in u hotel in this city

GREECE WILL FIGHT.

New York. April "A special to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says:
Troops are ready 10 start from Odessa in
the same number as arranged with other
powers and II these are not sufficient
there will be more ready 10 go il the ad-
mirals think it necessary.
1t is looked upon here as almost GER
tain that Greece will make a show OF
fighting otherwise the dynasty must fall.
The only way out of the trouble is DEEM

ward the Cretans and their Greek insti,

THE EASTERN SITUATION.
Position Of the London Times a Matter
of Surprise.

New York, April "A special to the
World from London says: The most
significant feature of the Cretan situa-
ton. at least so far as Great Britain ia
concerned, is the continued license the
London Times gives to its special CORES,
po%ndents, both in Athens and on the
| frontier, to denounce the policy OF the
concert OF Europe.
Government organ though the Times
is, 1t gives its most conspicuous place to
such expressions from its Athens CORES,
pondents as these:
The concert Of Europe is rapidly fail
ing into contempt. The pillaging of the
property of the Christians lin Crete)
apparently goes On unchecked, and bands
of B~ashibazouks continue to make preda>
tory excursions. The evaporation
among the insurgents is increasing and
the powers are now regarded by them rs
allies OF the Turks.
six or eight weeks ago a force Of ma
rines from the fleet might have traversed
the island without molestation but that
is not the case now Letters from Crete
state that The insurgents have coine to
regard the European troops with the
same hatred as the Turks, and 1t Is GER
tain that so long as the Turkish army
remains this feeling will increase"
The correspondent practically urges
that the only reasonable solution of the
question is after all, a mandate to Greece
to restore order.
The London Chronicle, discussing the
proposed blockade of Athens, goes SO far
this morning as to say
THE powers, including England. have
made war inevitable. In war Greece
must take her chances. She will face
fate as bravely, as honorably as she has
faced the bullying OF Europe and the
blackguardism Of the chanoellors, but
the people Of England mistake, at least
for shame's sake, SO that she is handicap
ed by nc blockade
Several correspondents intimate that
all The admirals, except the Russian ad-
miral, have come to be disguised with
their orders, but since the public rebuke
in parliament to the British admiral the
other day for writing to the Times, they
are naturally reticent about discussing
the situation.

How to Find Out

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate, or pain in the back, Is
also convincing proof that the Kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed, that DIR.

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge Of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
Vith which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost Sue
ces .ful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power OF
money has failed to muzzle or buy.
