Alexandrin’s Opportunity.

Alexandria being nor- mally a democratic city the nomination is usually equivalent to an election, s9 (the real test of strength comes tomorrow wather than on election day. Much has beer said and written of late concerning ‘the purification of American politics, the in cause for the spread of corruption and oiher evfis being generally accepted to be ihe reluctance and indifference of wood, conservative citizens in the matter ‘af exercising their suffrage privileges, es- wecially at the primaries, where the po- Hitical system of this nation finds its roots.

When the “machine” element is permitted @o take charge and to run things unhin- diered by considerations of public economy @r horesty or personal fitness for public @iace the community necessarily suffers. Mowever, it ts the usual experience that in dime the moral element becomes awakened fe the need of reform. The citizens who rcitarily shrink from political associa- ‘ftions and duties are arouseG and nor- wolitical candidates are named, elected, and @erve. usually to the benefit of the com- munity. Alexandria's case is very much @f this sort today. The immoral element das had full swing of late. The gamblers fave had too much rope and the race track #wirdlers who have been driven out of auctive business in the immediate neighbor- fhocd have found the city a good field for aperaticns. The community has many de- kied natural advantages, which, however, ar ot stand against the draw-backs of @ bad acministration or an unclean politi- ee! atmosphere.

A few republican members of the Hous+, a is reported, sympathize with the popu- Wielic discontent about tne situation of af- @airs in that body. According to repori, they have held several meetings, and have @iso prepared an address setting forth their @esition and giving reasons why Speaker Reed should appoint the committees of the Mouse and start the whole mili to grinding @u full time. A portion of this address ap- wears in print today, and, in good sooth, it tis an interesting document. After arguing tthe question somewhat, the address says: “We are ardent admirers and earnest friends of Speaker Iteed. But like all of us the is but human. The St. Lou's convention af June last chose another for its standard- hearer. but Reed's colors went down un- aernished. Malice, cupidity and treachery atided in this result, and the ‘mighty man from Maine’ was defeated by the ‘young Sapokon of the West.’ His star was meither sunk nor paled, and it rests entirely with him to decide whether he shall win whack th= glory, strength and reputation geined in the Fifty-tirst Congress, or, by feliowing the autocratic and dictatoriai eourse pursued by him in the last—and so dur in the present—Congress, destroy every wossible hope or prospect of being the re- publican standard-bearer in 190)." Here, it is to be observed, are two propo- sitions, both distinctly stated: (1) Mr. Mc- ANinley"s success at St. Louis was achieved by the aid of “malice, cupidity, and treach- ery.” and (2) by appointing all the commit- ees, and going in for general business at this extra session and a sitting until late im the fall, in opposition to the President's messaze calling simply for revenue legisla- ttion at as early a day as possible, Mr. Reed might hope to become his party's standard- Qearer in 1900. Unfortunately, no names are given in con- wection with these reported meetings, or with this remarkable deliverance. The omis- ion ought to be supplied at once, for it ts @afe io say that the speaker would be glad ‘to know by name those republicans who put such en appraisement upen him, and that ‘ibe President would like to know by name @bose republicans who believe that his pres~ sence in the White House is partly the resuit @f the success of “malice, cupidity and treachery.” In the interest of fair dealing, his address ought to be signed, sealed, and formally delivered to the country. It is not difficult to understand the popu- istic position in this case. The whole strength of the populistic cause is in agi- tation —intense and untiring agitation. The populist leaders ask no rest for themselves, und are equally opposed to granting any to the country. Their desire is to overthrow doth of the old parties, and their idea is ®hat only through agitation may this be ac- «emplished. So that wherever two or three @re gathered together and a populist joins them, he is in duty bound to begin to agi- fate. But why either republicans or demo- rats should follow such leadership it is @iffiewl: to understand. ————+ eo ‘The American Federation has asked President McKinley to pardon a man who Mputinied. It was surely nothing in the relations of the Presiden: and Senator Tel- Ger which inspired confidence for the re- aauest. —+ es ____ General Weyler is busily engaged in dts- % styles in paci ons, in the hopes ef enjoying the continued patronage of the Spanish government. ree Turk Against Greek. The actual declaration of war between ‘Turkey and Greece opens up vast possibili- ties for speculation on the result. The ten- @ency of such observations, on the soic #trength of the two contestants and with- @ut reference to the future action of the powers, seems to be to credit Turkey witir the main chances for success. Turke: #reater area and population are strong fac- tors in her favor. Her people 'n tha see wate—on both ccntinents—according to the most reliable figures, outnumber those of Greece nearly thirteen times. Her re- sources for conducting a campaign, on paper, are vastly in excess. But her navy is weaker It is the laughing stock of Eu- Bepe. Some of the vessels are unseaworthy, and so poorly manned that the naval Strength of Turkey today is that of a fifth- wate power. On the other hand, Gréece is trong on the sea; her people are better sailors and quite as good fighters as the Turks. The most serious element against Turkey in the calculation is the tempera- ment of the inhabitants of the tributary @rovinces that cover the Balkans. The population of Turkey in surupe, _v. al! these subject states, aggregates abu ‘6.090.000, fully one-half being Caristia: Tr » dwellers in the Balkans are wild ar. ungovernable, tending to revolution against the established rule and sympathetic for such a cause as that of Greece in the pres- ent emergency. It fs belleved that uoon the spread of the news that. war has been declared Turkey's greatest danger will be from the rebellion of her Balkan prov- inces, whose allegiance ia of the slightest character. This will divide the Turkish forces, which are none too wéll organized for such a heavy task. + It is worth while in this connection to pause to draw a parallel between the Turks in their present relation to the Grgeks and the Chinese in thetr relation to the Japanese a short time ago. When war was declared in Asia the general forecast was that China would make short work of Japan, with her vastly greater population and resources. But events soon proved that Japean’s navy was much superior to that of China. The latter's army, while enermous on paper, was badly disciplined, Poorly paid, underfed, with the commis- sary and quartermaster departments ia a state of utter demoralization. The corrupt system of public administration had weak- ened the efficiency of the fighting forces, and when the pinch came the armies of the Yellow Dragon were dreadfully weak, and yielded readily to the assaults of the smaller, more compact forces of the Japan- ese. Turkey's fiscal system fs no better, in relation, than that of China. Her public ministry is corrupt and her administration of affairs is weak and impotent. The Turks are natural fighters, yet so are the Greeks. The mountaineers of Thessaly and those of Macedonia, who are friendly to Greece, are among the world’s best sol- diers. The Turkish organization, however, is said to be superior, the battaHons are heavier and the base of operations is more accessible. The sum-total of results thus far gives almost even honors. The Greeks heve won a marked success at the Gulf of Arta, gaining a fine strategic position near Prevesa; while the Turks have forced Melouna Pass, regarded.as the key to Lar- ivsa, the Greek headquarters. Under all the eircumstances, it is too early to predict the result of the war, on the basis of the actual participants. The Greeks, it is to be remembered, are fight- ing an hereditary enemy. They are im- bued with the fervor of a long-pent hatred now loosed. They hope to win back a ter- ritory that they regard as theirs by every right known to nations. On the other hand, the Turks are quite as zealous and as hearty in their enmity. —__<+ e 2_—_ ‘The Japanese in Hawait. “Kamehameha’ latest letter to The Star from Honolulu, published today, tcuches directly upon the question of the Japanese influence in the islands and points out the dangerous possibilities of the situa- tien.
