on the questions Of colonial policy
 which are forcing themselves on the
 American people. In political cam
 paigns shrewd committees sometimes
 get useful hints by sending out to the
 back townships and taking tae drift
 of opinion. In these isolated com
 munities opinion is apt to be positive,
 self-Teliant and arrogant, with never a doubt that what the township thinks the state and the nation are bound to think. In a similar manner the pro- vinciai view of expansion can De had
 in New York, just as British stateEnen
 in London sometimes seek to kaow what is thought in Manchester anl in Glasgow. When New York city and Creek River township, Illinois, are in accord on national policy it shows a unity of public sentiment that makes the path for the future tolerably clear. What Creek River township, Illinoii, and thousands of townships in other states are thinking on the Philippines and the West Indies is demonstrating itself. How the thoughts of New York come to be running in the same chan nel is worth q word.
 It IS evident to any one who takes the pains to inquire that New York thoroughly approves the war, with Spain. It was halting and fault find ing in the beginning and then indiffer- ent; now it is enthusiastic. The credit of this IS due more than anything else to Colonel Roosevelt's regiment of Rough Riders. They lionized the war. After the fighting in front Of Santiago New York began to suspect that her volunteer troops, meaning the Rough Riders and the Seventy-first, did the fighting. Later developments con- lfrmed this suspicion. The encamp- ment of the returned heroes at Men ltauk gave the chance to write war his tory from the lips of those who had helped to make it. It must have been confusing to the newspaper readers to determine how many dimes San Juan lhill was taken by these two regiments, and some of them may have wondered
 whether the regulars did not have an insignificant share in the achievement. The unfortunate Generalization of a battalion of the Seventy-first was over looked. When its men came home, broken in health, they were given all the honors of victors. No one be- grudged the tribute to them The sol
 diers of the Seventy-frst were fur loughed and made way for the Rough Riders.
 It is the presence of these heroes
 that has made New York as complas-
 cent. l have TO doubt that in a few years the tradition in the minds of the
 majority of New Workers will be that

 the Rough Riders, while the regular

THE FUTURE OF GREECE.
4 Poor Outlook for the Hellenic Nh


tIOn.
What of the future? The Greek peo.
pie went to war 20 strengthen the Hell.
lenic race and help to fulfill the Hellenic
ideal. Have they irrevocably weakened
the one and destroyed the other? At a
first glance it would seem so. The Turk
is stronger than he has been for many
years. He has learned that no power
will coerce him. The millions of Greeks
in Asia Minor have lost confidence in
Athens. Crete is farther from unior
than ever. Financially, Greece is on the
verge of ruin. She will now have to sub.
nit to the terrible indignity of placing
her revenues under foreign control, foi
time at least. The dynasty has beer
shaken, and the name of the heir to the
throne indissolubly connected with an
overwhelming national humiliation.
The corruption of Greek politics. the
miserable personal struggles which
have usurped the place of party govern
'nent, the ''spoils system" at its very
worst. have had their natural effect, and
the constitution is thoroughly discred'
tied. The national vice Of windy en-
thusiasm for great ends, combined
with unwillingness to perform tne
solid labors by which alone these can
be secured, has at last brought despair
into the hearts of the best Greeks at
home and abroad. A friend writes me
from Athens that there is little sign OF
the national disgrace being taken te
heart. Is it the end ?-Henry Norman

Why His Customer Couldn't Eat the

A certain literary German whose manner

who disapproved OF impetuoslty of any sort

ing experience in a restaurant one day.
He was a well-known figure among the
patrons OF this particular establishment, a.
he seldom dined anywhere else, and he was
generally served by waiter who had be-

day a new waiter took his order and brought
his soup. :,

man, slowly, not looking up from his plate
The man seized the soup plate before the
customer could finish the sentence, and van
ished with it.
He reappeared in a moment with another
supply OF the same soup. which he placed
before the gentleman, and then stood re-
earding him with an anxious face, wonder.
ing what could be the reason for the soup
remaining untouched.
