HARP OF A THOUSAND STRINGS.


"There's many kinds of powder my breth-

store; there's gnnpowder that swipes whole
armies off the face Of the airth in the twink

powder which has overthrown its millions of
men, where these others have their hundreds
And he played on a harp of a thousand strings,

A comparison of the present popula-
ton and popular vote in this country
with the population and vote sixty
eight years ago leaves the conclusion
that the vote has increased twice as
fast as the population. Part Of this
apparent and almost incomprehensible
change may be due in some degree to
inability to secure as accurate esti-
mates sixty-eight years ago and in
considerable degree by the lack of
facilities in voting then. But how
ever the change came about there as
suredly is no way to escape the con-
clusion that the average voter cares
as much about exercising the right of
suffrage as he ever did.

Although the information rcspectlnw
the Cretan tgoubIe seems to indicate
a concert Of action on the part Of nj
the great powers. as a preyen-
ton OF greater war to put a check
upon that now impending between
Greece and Turkey. there re.
main conditions which seem to demand
more than negative policy on the
part OF those powers. Those conA-
tons are ripe for revolt and II II Diff
flcult to understand from all that may
be- learned. just how they can be pre-
vented from working themselves out
to legitimate conclusion. which would
be either turning Crete over to Greece
or to one OF the great powers or the
establishment Of such control over
the island that 1t would at worst be
only nominally Turkish. 1t will be re-
membered by some that a few weeks
ago Lord Salisbury In public speech
touched upon the Beaconsfeld eastern
policy. admitting that in the light Of
events it was seen to be wrong, al
though he endeavored to exonerate the
Tory party Of the charge Of originating
it. He also said that IL the proposal Of
Car Nicholas in 1851. refusal Of which by
the other powers gave rise to the Cri-
mean war. we're now to be made he
thought it would be gladly accepted
That proposal was to establish control
over the Turkish dominion with a view
to finally winding up the affairs Of that
government and equitably dividing the
territory between the European powers.
II England looks at the matter now as
Lord Salisbury did in that speech It is
barely possible that such dismember-
ment of Turkey may be had. 1t should
be said, however, that such a posi-
bility is byno means a probability. 1t Is
somewhat surprising though. that
Greece, which knows from experience
what it is to have the repressive hand

respecting Crete. should again make
the attempt to get possession Of It UNI
less Russia is silently acquiescing IN
such a move. Moreover it Is very evil
dent that the situation in Crete is not
one to be easily disposed Of For I
quite number OF years prior to lSsSss
Crete had enjoyed q modified const1tu-
ton. Mussulmen and Christians
mingled freely and party lines were
drawn between the. conservative
wealthy classes and the Liberals, or
poorer classes rather than on lines Of

away the constitutional rights Of the
Cretans. This enraged the people.
Insurrection arose but was COM

in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Turkey at

that the immoralities of the Spanish
