Armed and Excited Mussulmans Parading in the City’s Streets. Cacea, Isiavd of Crete, Feb 24.—) The Governor's palace, with all the archives, was destroyed by fire to | day, and as other fires started in the town at the some suspected incendiaries bave been at time, work. The situation is most grave. Arm- ed avd excited Mursulmucs are pa radivg the streets,full of indignation at the news from Selinos, where Blussulmans are besieged. The Benghazi Arabs tbreaten to burn the whole of Cavea. While the palace was burning a strong box containing £7000 fell into the ruins and broke open, whereupon there wae a wild rush of Turkish soldiers avd Mussulmans to secure the creas. core. The foreign marines were ebliged to fire blank cartridges to restrain them, and for atime a ser- ious conflict between the Turks and Europeans was threatened. The Admirals are about to issue a proclamation in all the towns and villages, explaining the reason for the presence of the foreign fleets in Cretan waters, and exhorting tran quility. This view is spreading with the population, which is eo divided in inveterate hatred that sevemes for} ceforms are futile. The best plan, it is argued, is to permit the Greek troops to occupy the country and escort the besieged Mussulmans abroad, for the Mugsulmans ean not remain in Crete. The suggestion of the Consuls that a foreign force be landed at Selinos in order to cover the retreat of the beleaguered Mussulmans has not been adopted, owing to the available number of marives being insufficient. In view of the large force of the insurgents the Admirals have decided to confine their action tothe dispatch of warships to Se {inos. The attacks of the insurgents con tinue at various points. The insur gents have descended into the plain behind the convent of Chrysopbighi, and have set fire to Mussulman houses. According to the official figures, 400 Turks were killed, wounded or sre missing inthe recent fighting, and 104 were taken prisoners. The American Wyler. The features of Mark Hanna's aystem of dealing with labor, reveal ed by Wm. Warner, secretary of the Mine Workers’ Union, would be al moat incredible if attributed to any other man. The company of which Hanna is the head, forced its miners the other day tc sign an iron-clad agreement by which they were to work at the reduced rate of 60 cents a ton for one year. Ten per cent of their wages is to be retained by the company to enforce the contract This is onty to be returned when the contract matures. As thirty days notics is required to quit, and no more than five men can give notice ata time, ouly 600 men can quit each year. The contracts practical- iy never mature. The mivers were foreed to accept the conditions. They could choose only between surrender and starva- tion. Eyen as it is, with work given them only for half time, with reduc ed wages for that, and then 10 per cent stolen from them by the com pany, the mioers can not feed their families. They are slaves,worse than it 18} | Ruthless Extravagance, Post-Dispatch. | fu wothing is Speaker Reeds eu- jthe wewbers of bis party shown more clearly than in his evident jappreciation of the fact that one of ithe leading iswues of the next ua tioual to be what Mr. Sayers of Texas described campaigu is certain lu @ recent speech in Congress as “ruthle-e, reckless extravagance and | expenditure of Tus last campaign by the profl gate | mouey.” Issue was jraized in tt Cutcago platfora: Is was embodied ia ti: following plauk: “We denonnes the proflizate waste | of the movey wraug frou the people | by oppressive taxationjaad the lavish appropriations of receut R-publican Congresses, which bave kept taxes high while the labor that pays them is unemployed, aud the products of the people's tail are depressed in price tll they vo longer repay the cost of production.

But they are burning issues, nevertheless, and the importance of the issue stated im best the plank quoted above has been strikiagly shown by the present R- publican Houaa of Representatives, which, in the face of universal busi- nes3 and depression unparalled searcity of money among the tax | payers of the nation, has recklessly and wantonly voted appropriations aggregating $1.040,000,000—which He kuows that it bas incurred the ‘odium of all who are at heart ene- | mies of the people by sodoing.

When Mr. Dingley and the Hanna campaign contributers announced that the farmers of the country are to be “protected from foreign com petition by a return to McKinley duties,” the repetition of a hoary false pretense so wearies the farmw- ers that they are almost too tired to smile at the humor of protecting them from the competition of peo- ple who are their chief cutsomera. Last year our farmers exported $65,C00,000 worth of cotton, wheat, corn, provisions and other products every dollar of which was necessarily sold in open market, in competition with the like products of the world, while our imports have been merely fragmentary. lke treasury statistics sbow in ten years since 1886 our fur mers have exported nearly $6,000,- carrying trade of the country. “The treasury statistics also show that each average family cf these produ cers now hus au annual toll of $34.50 would 6+ an outrageously extrava gant appropriation by a single Con gress if the utmost prosperity reign ed throughout the country. No cheese-paring will meet this issue. Considering the condition of the great mujority of the American people at this time, the annual Appropriations made by Congress should be reduced at least $100,000 000. The keife should be inserted deep. The axe should be laid at the roots of public extravagance. Salaries must be cut. The enormous cost of Maintaining the Executive Depart meut and the two houses of Con gress must be largely reduced. Supernumeraries in office must be turned out. At least $10,000,000 per annum must be saved by cutting down the monstrously inflated charges paid by the Post office De partment to the railroads for postal service, Public improvements not absolutely needed must wait.
