f 4 i it Wy ti The Greeks Overmatched. Kansas City Times. The Graeco Turkish war is result- ing, ag we anticipated, in some tem- porary successes for the Greeks. Owing to the great distence of the present battle ground from the cea-| ter of Turkish power. or even the} capital, which lies fer west of the real Turkey, the Moslems have been unable to muster sufficient force to overcome the Greeks. If the tactics of the latter prove successful, the Turkish army will have its line cf provisions intercepted, and will be obliged to fall back. This, it is ex- pected, would encourage the malcon tents in Turkey and in the small neighboring States to rise in favor of Greece. The early triumphs of the Chris- tians are rendered more likely by the probable superiority of the Greek navy. These things, howe.er, would not in themselves prove permanent obstacles to a final Turkish victory- In fact, the odds, in case the war is restricted to the two countries, ere heavily on the side of Turkey. The Mcslems’ advantages are first @ great supericrity in numbers. While Greece has the almost insig wvificant population of 2,000,000, Turkey has a total of about 28,000, 000. Of course, the subjects of Tur- key are not uniformly loyal. A great part of the European sub- jects, for instance, are dangerously alienated, and Egypt may be com- pelled by France and Englend to keep out of the fight. Even leaving out of account the European and African territory, however, Turkey has some 22,000,000 fanatic facies in Asia. Then the armies of the two coun- tries are by no means equal. Turkey has the superiority in numbers and training. The poverty cf the Greeks would alone prevent their organizing such a force as Turkey’s part of which, it is sard, has been drilled by German war veterans into a bigh state of efliciency. These advantages are not compensated by any greater capacity for war in the individual Greek. The Turks have their shere of craft. They hate the Greeks quite as bitterly as they are hated. And their personal brayery is attested by ‘the history of Southeastern Europe for the last 600 years. Moreover, as the Mohammedan religion teaches the faithful that to die in battle against the “heretics” is to ke trans- planted direct to Heaven, the Mos- fems fight furiously to the end. This being the case, it is easy to gee that whatever the temporary suc cesses of the Greeks they can not long stand alone against the full power of the fanatic Moslem Empire. It ie for their fellow-Christians to second their efforts in behalf of the Cretan martyrs and put an end to Mohammedan misrule in Europe.

Jefferson City, Mo., April 21.— Governor Bolte has granted a pardon to Robert J. Hill, who was sentenced at the April term, 1896, of the Supreme court for defiling bis ward. The pardon of Hill was recommended by eleven of the trial Jurors and by many of the beat citi zens of Moniteau county, where the offense was committed, who say that he has been sufficiently punished, and that grave doubts exist as to his guilt. Governor Bolte also reduced the sentence of C. J. Foster, who was convicted at the February term,1892, of the Circuit court of Oregon county and sentenced to ten years for mur- der in the second degree. This sen. tence is cut down to five years and} two months, with the benefit of the three-fourths law.

Post-Dispatch. The republicans and tha middle- of-the-road populists evidently have a good understanding with each other. Two or three State Legislatures controlled by republicans have adopt- ed laws designed to prevent fusion in future campaigns. Such a bill has republican Speaker of the House ia that state is hammering it through that body with his gavel. Simultane- ously with these efforts comes the announcement of another middle of- the-road convention to meetin Nash- vills next July, with the same object in view. HAS WITHDRAWN. Hunter Oat of the Race for the Sena- torship. Frankfort, Ky.,April 21.—Hunter, beaten by the bolters in his own party, has withdrawn from the race for United States Senator from Ken- tucky. In anewer to a request from | him, Chairman Jones of the republi- passed the Illinois Senate and the| can caucus issued a call at noon for & meeting in the House of Represen- tatives, at which a new candidate | will be selected.

They are using the legislative power now io their bands to force | such a division. Their action is easily understood and explained. But who can under- stand or explain the action of the | middle-of-the-roadsters? There are | those who say they understand it | and who explain it by the assertion | that the same money lords who con- | trol the republicans control also the! middle-of the-road men. This is the only reasonsble expla-! nation yet offered. Middle-of-the road | men themselves offer none.

VICTORY OR DISAPPEARANCE. { King George Says Greece Understands What | the Result Must Be. Paris, April 21.-—The correspond- ent of “Iva Journal” at Athens had | an interview with Kine George of Greece at the palace yesterday. His Majesty is quoted as saying that he} believed to the last moment that} peace would be maintained, and did his utmost to briog about a pacific solution of the matters in dispute. The King denied that Greece com.) menced hostilities against Turkey, | and argued that Turkey was not} compelled to go to war because of | the incursion of a few inaurgents| whem nobody could have restrained. Continuing, King George said: “The truth is, we were attacked because Turkey was ordered to at-! tack us. There never would have been war but for certain intrigues, which will appear later. All the powers aze more or less against us. If they wanted war, they have got it. Such is the result of the Euro- pean concert. Europe must under- stand that, after forcing us to war, there can be no question of limiting} it. Our fleet is destined to take an important part, as will soon be learned. Greece understands that she musi either be victorious or dis- appear. The war may be prolonged and bloody, but it is now too late to stop. A great crime has been com- mitted against right and humanity in the Cretan question, and the! chastisement has now commenced.” i} Bryan’s Magnetism. Washington Letter in Louisville Post. It is really strange the hold that Mr. Bryan seems to have in the in- terest of the people. He excites more enthusiastic crowds on the streets of Washington than even the President does. Heand Bob Fitz simmons were in the city at the eame time tte otber day, and the ex- Presidential candidate was by far the greater attraction of the two. The same degree of interest was dis played at the Columbia Law College, where Bryan was introduced by Justicee Harlan and Brewer, ss was evdienced by the mob which sur rounded the Metropojitan Hotel, where the orator was stopping. I do not pretend to account for this continued enthusiasm and interest, j revenue of $100,000. tual taxation resulting from a nomi- but only to relate that it exists. Bank Directors Liable tor Losses. Grand Rapids, Mich , April 21.— Judge Severns in the United States court to day held that Henry Ander son and Joun Foster, directors of the defunct Bank of Greenville, are liable for all loases sustained by the bank through President Moore be- tween July, 1892, and 1893, the date of suspension. The amount they will have to pay is not yet determined, though Moore's total indebtedness exceeds $172,000. The court scored the directors for negligeace while the managing officer plundered it of all it owned and much that belooged to others. Tanner Accused of Being Mixed in the Uni- versity Trouble. Chicago, Hl, April 22.—Francis M.

Tanner who induced tbe trus- tees to invest in $10,000 worth of bonds. Miss S. Louise Irvin will institute suit for the recovery of the property she deeded to the Globe Bank re ceiver.

SEE Dingleyism in Actior, | New York Werld. Under present conditions 10,000, 000 yards of a certain quality of! woolen cloth are sold at $1 yard in this country. Part of this, say | half, is manufactured here, the rest | is imported. Dingleyism enacts a/ duty of $1 a yard on this cloth. The importation drops to 100,000 yards, on which the Government gets aj The price of the imported cloth of course becomes $2a yard. The! price of the domestic cloth goes up ‘as bigh as the market will bear.” Suppose that 8,000,000 yards of it | are sold at $1.50 a yard. What is! the net result of Dingleiem in this | ease? The Government gets $100,000. The consumer pays $1 a yard on | 100,000 yards—$100,900 | The consumer pays 50 cents a yard on 8,000,000 yards—$4,000,000. To collect $100,000 the govern- ruent has taxed the consumer $4, 100,000. And what becomes of this $4,100,- 000 taken out of the pockets of the people? Why, almost all of it goes directly into the pockets of a small group of men who run woclen mills. This concrete illustration, under- stating rather than overstating the workings of Dingleyism, shows how absurdly misleading are statistics of our per capita taxation. In this single case, to get the ae- nel taxation of $100,000 the nominal figure must be multiplied by forty- one! Mr. Russell Sage in His New $6.75 Easter Suit. Russell Sage bas a new Spring suit. Like the Easter flowers, he bloseomed out ia fine raiment yester- day, to the surprise of all his ac quaintances. Wall streot was aghast. The vision of Uncle Russell in his new gray outfit was almost paralyz- ing to bankers and financiers who have sat with him ia board meetings of the many corporations from which he draws $10 per sitting. The clerks in his office, who sit behind caged windows, could hardly credit their senees when their employer entered early ia the morning, fairly beaming with pride which his dicregard for economy had permitted him to en joy. It was intimated, however,that Uncle Russell was only getting ahead eves in taking time by the forelock, i and it is said laid in agstock for the | Summer before clothing advances. | There are persons who are unkin i| enough to say that the new euit coat | | $6.75.
