A HERO OF THE HOUR
PRINCE GEORGE OF GREECE is AN
ATTRACTIVE FIGURE.

A Bold Warrior who Has n Firm Hold
on the Affections of His Countrymen.
A Democratic Prince Active, Athletic
and Modest.
The principal figure in the present
Greco. Turkish affair is Prince George,
the strapping young six footer who is
the second son of King George and the
hero Of all Greece As commander of
the torpedo fotilla which was sent to
help the Cretans he gained a promi-
nence in naval circles aud in the popu-
lar mind which years Of brilliant service
might not have brought him.
Prince George seems TO be a particu-
larly fortunate young man. Although
but son of the king of one of the most
insignificant kingdoms in Europe he is
related to the rulers Of three of the
greatest empires in the world and while
not even the crown prince Of his own
country he is easily the most popular
man in Greece. His father is a son Of
the king Of Denmark, whose children
have made the most brilliant matches
known in the history Of any royal
family.
In almost any court in Europe Prince
George can claim kinship. The czar Of
Russia is his cousin, his mother Queen
Olga, being a daughter Of the Grand
Duke Constantine and her sister the en-
press of Russia. He is a nephew Of the
Prince of Wales and his elder brother,
the Duke Of Sparta, is married to a
daughter Of the German kaiser.
But besides his royal connections the
young prince is personally royal good
fellow. He is larger and much better
looking than the crown prince, being a
veritable young giant and his fcats of
strength are told by every Grecian fire
side It is said that he can twist a sill
YER coin the size Of half dollar all out
Of shape by single movement of his
fingers. He is thorough sailor and an
enthusiastic sportsman. He is as fear
less as he is big, and several years ago,
when Greece was still infested with
brigands, he used to go hunting in the
mountains entirely unaccompanied.
Prince George is one Of the most demo,
cratic scions Of royalty to be found any
where. A young lady from Boston who
was a passenger on the same steamer
with him two or three years ago told
with great astonishment how she haC
seen a real live prince wrestle on the
deck with an unknown American ant
laugh heartily when the latter trippeC

the palace" " He seldom bothcrs about
attendants when he travels, and has ell
bowed his way among the crowds Of
half the capitals Of Europe.
The prince has always been favorite
with Nicholas of Russia, and before the
latter became czar be chose Prince
George us one of his suit when he
made an extended tour several years ago.
1t was on this occasion that Prince
George had the good fortune to save the
life Of the present ruler Of Russia.
While in Japan a fanatical Jap made a
savage attack ON the Czarowitz with q
sword, and the career Of Nicholas would
have been ended right there had not the
prince warded off the blow with stout
ash stick which he carried in his hand
and promptly followed this up by pin
ioning the assassin's S arms in a viselikc
grip. Perhaps it was because of this in
cident that the Russian minister was
the only representative Of any of the
great European powers who did not
join in warning Prince George not to
enter the Cretan port Of Khania with
his flotilla.
Prince George is 2S years old and as
yet unmarried. When he visited this
country in the spring of 1891, there was
great futtering among the society
matchmal1ers. But the prince was either
too young or too wise to be entrapped

as possible to the real object of his trip

tions and naval armament.
For the past few years Prince George
has been holding command in the

Should Pay as You Go.

The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is to pay as it goes
not by resortiug to loans but by keeping
out of debt-through an adequate income
secured by a system of taxation, external
or internal, or both 1t is the settled policy
of the government pursued from the be-
ginning and practioed by all parties and
administrations, to raise the bulk of our
revenue from taxes upon foreign produc-
tions entering the United States for sale
and consumption, and avoiding for the
most part every form OF direct taxation,
except in time of war. The country is
clearly opposed to any needless additions
to the subjects of internal taxation, and Is
committed by its latest popular utterance
to the system of tariff taxation. There
can be no misunderstanding, either, about
the principle upon which this tariff taxa
ton shall be levied. Nothing has ever
been made palmer at a general election
than that the controlling principle in the
raising of revenue from duties on imports
Is Jealous care for American interests and
American labor. The people have declared
that such legislation should be had Ss will
give ample protection and encouragement

country. IL is, theref re, earnestly hoped
and expected that congress viii at the
earliest possible moment enact revenue
