There U no good reason to doubt
the news that the Sultan lias grunted
to Crete a 'Christian (iovemur and
a aafficient amonnt of autonomy to
make her practically independent.
8ach action whs inevitable when
Eogland refused to join hntuls with
Germany in enforcing a blockade of
the isIanJ. The Porte s.iw that the
oulj alternative was u long war, in
volving luavv expense. The Im
perial Treasury wa empty, and un
paid troops are always unreliable.
Moreover, during war no taxes cm
be collected. From n autonomous
province some tribute can be se
cured. Accordingly the Sultan hu?
bowe4 to the inevitable just as lie
has before, and Crete joins the Dan
nbian Principalities, llosnia, Ilr.e
goina, Servia, lUilgaiia, and Kgypt
in rejoicing over freedom from
Tnrtish tyranny.
Just what use will be made of the
freedom remains to be seen. The
Cretans are as turbulent a people as
cao be foond anywhere in the world
and ally justify the warning still
common along the Mediterranean:
"Beware of the three K's," (K'in
padocia, Kilicia and Krete ) They
aeem to prefer isolation, for, not
withstanding their advantages uf
itnation and soil, they have devel
oped very little trade, no one of tho
more important lines of steamers
touching at a Cretan port. The
strange mixture of loyalty and jeal

fight against foreign domination
and their internal fueds was well

they succeed in establishing n stable
Government is yet to be decided.
They have the ability, they are. fav
ored by their reparation from the
mainland; it remains to bo seen
whether they have the neceasary
power of 6elf-restraint.
The t'reta-i question solved, the
Macedonian is next in order. Will
the Bolgarians and Greeks gain
conrage from the success of the is
landers and force a settlement of
their claims, or will the European
powers cry enough? Probably the
latter. The Czar is starting on his
visits and has no desire to be distur
bed in his conferences. Germany
is almost feverishly anxious for
peice, and Lord Salisbury cares
more about the Soudan, China, and
Japan than about S-ilonica and Ya
nlna. So far as appearances go. the
Eastern question has received
another quietus and the Sultan a
a new lease of life in which to de
monstrate whether he is absolutely
bereft of his senses or is able to learn
something from adversity. If he
ball devote his enegiea to tlie pres
ervation of order in Asia Minor and
Eastern Turkey, he may held his
capitol for some years to come. If,

for revenue there must be order.

Fopnliatie papers are deluding
themselves with the false hope that
fusion will elect Leedy Governor.
Gov. MorriH is in much better pros
pect of winning this year than in
1894. Io 1890 the Republican Party
polled 41 per cent., the Pops 39 per
cent., and the Democratic and Pop
vote combined over 5S per cent, of
the total vote cast. In 189"2 the Ke
pablican Party polled 48 per cent.,
and the combined DemoPops 50
per cent. In 1S94 Gov. Morrill
polled 50 per cent., lacking 903
votes, and the Democratic nd Pop
vote combined polled but 48 per
cent.
From 1S90 the Republican per
centage of the total vote has gained
at every election, from 41 per cent,
in 1890 to 4S per cent, in 1892, and
50 per cent, in 1894.The combined,
Democratic and Pop vote has steadily
declined, from 58 per cent, in 1890
to 60 per cent, iu 1892, and 45 per
cent, in 1894.
It is not likely that with the Aus
tralian balloi Leedy and Doster can
poll a full fasion vote in November,
and if they do, they must gain
heavily from some orfier quarter,
outside of the combined strength of
the- Democratic and Populist Par
ties, to defeat Morrill and Garver.
The effect of fusion on the Demo
cratic Party in Kansas has been an
instructive object lesson. In 158
the DemocraU polled 102,745 votes.
In 1890 they polled 71, -'357 votes.
In 1892 their vote was swallowed up
in fasion. in 189t they came forth
from the boxels of Populism and
cast 26,700 votes.
The rise of the Alliance in 1630
carried way (31,000 Republicans ai d
31,000 Democrats. Bv standing up
for its principles against the new
party, the Republican Party recov
ered all but 5 per cent, of its loss,
while by temporizing and compro
mising their principles the Demo
crats lost 45,000 more votes to Pop

I The summit crater was emitting

from which the lava was i mining

Its progress was rapid considering
the distance of the point of view,
and subsequent observation along
the line of the flow proved that the
velocity must have been tremendous.
David Hitchcock, who was camp
ing on M.utna Kea at the time of
this outbreak, saw a spectacle that
few Ik: man eyes have ever beheld.
'We stood,"' he writes, "on the
very edge of that flowing river of
rook.
"Oh, what a sight it was ! Not
twenty feet from i'S was this im
mense bed of rock slowly moving
forward with irresistable force,
bearing on its surface huge rocks
and immense bowlders of tons'
weight as water would carry a toy.
Thewholc front edge was one bright
red mass of solid rock incessantly
breaking off from the towering mass
and rolling down to the foot of it,
to be again covered by another aval
anche of white hot rocks and sand.
The whole mass at its front edge
was from twelve .to thirty feet in
height. Along the entire line of its
advance it was one crash of rolling
sliding, 'nmbling, red-hot rock.
"We could hear no explosions
while we were near the flow, enly a
tremendous roaring lwke 10,000 blast
furnaces all at work at once." This
was the most extensive How of re
cent years, and its progress from
the interior plain through the dense
forests above Hilo and out on to the
open levels close to the town was
startling and menacing enough.
Through the woods especially it was
a turbulent, seething mass that top
pled over mammoth trees and licked
up streams of water, and day and
night kept up an unintermitting
cannonade of explosions.
The steam and imprisoned gases
would burst tho congealing surface
with loud .detonations that could be
heard for many miles. It was not an
infrequent thing for parties to camp
out close to the flow oyer night. Or
dinarily a lava flow moves sluggish
ly and congeals so rapidly that what
seems like hardihood in the narrat
ing is in reality calm judgment, for
it is perfectly safe to be in the close
vic'nity of a lava stream, and even
to walk on its surface as soon as one
would be inclined to walk on cool
ing iron in a foundry. This notable
flow finally ceased within half a
mile of Hilo, where its black form
is a perpetual reminder of a marvel

Disappointed Contributors.
After making all reasonable al

there need be little hesitation in
saying that he receives far more
consideration than he deserves.
"Not to answer a civil letter ou bus

Progress of Humane Ideas.
The so-caMed higher criticism has
changed the views of many on ques
tions of theology and biblical litera
ture. The creeds of our churches,
equally, no doubt, have less hold
upon the belief of Protestant Chris
tendom or, rather, are regarded as
less vital than formerly. Polemics
are neither so popular nor so furious
as in the time of our fathers. The
simple teachings of our Lord are
more regarded, and the obvious re
sult is that a feeling of brotherhood
and humaneness has been widely
developed, and the claims of the
sick, the helpless and the needy
generally meet with a ready and
helpful response.
The law has been ameliorated.
Even if the law should stand now as
it stood then, it would be impossible
in our day for a Judge to utter such
language as fell from the lips of Mr.
Justice llyde in the case of Manby
vs. Scott, 1 Mod. 13-.'. "If a per
son," he said, "be taken in execu
tion to lie in prison for debt, he is
not to be provided with meat, drink
or clothes, but he must live on his
own, or the charity of othfrs; and if
no man will relieve him, let him die
in the name of God, says the la'.v,
and so say I.'"
In this country, and in most civi
lized countries, not only is imprison
ment for debt abolished, but in
those exceptional cases where, in
particular instances and for special
reasons, it is allowed, by the law of
the United States, as well as by tle
law, for the most part, of the sever
al States, the creditor must provide
for the debtor's subsistence.
But it is not ouly in legislation,
nor chiefly that we see the progress of
humane ideas. Never, perhaps, was
philanthropy so active, so general
and so munificent as in our day. It
takes different forms, and devotes
itself to various objects. It founds
or enlarges hospitals; it founds or
enlarges colleges; it founds or fos
ters schools to teach the rnachauic
arts and to endow their pupils with
trades; it visits the abodes of pov
erty, and brings the sunshine of
present help to scenes of desolation;
it relieves the distress of those sud
denly struck by cyclone, or earth
quake, or flood, on fire; and wher
ever human suffering discloses itself
it holds out a helping hand.
It may be that it could do more,
and doubtless many withhold the
additional help and the additional
impulse they might bestow upon it.
Nevertheless philanthropy and the
law of kindness and fellowship
prevail in our day as they have pre
vailed i n no ot her aire
And vet the eagerness for wealth,
the demotion of energy to acquire it,
the seaiching of earth, air and sea
to find F, ate as well-nigh remark
able as the general liberality of
those wlio are sucoesful iu its pur
suit. Derba;
in no country are such
iven for public objects
arge sums 1
as in the United States. Moreover,
the possessors of fortunes are acquir
ing the habit of giving while living.
and not waiting until the hand of
leath is upm them before permit
ting their bounty to flow forth to its
objects. This ardent pursuit of
money, and this liberality of giving,
is anomalous. l niladeipnia ixec-

TARPON FISHING.
A Texan's Experience With the Most
Thrilling Sport Iu the World.
A Texas sportsman, in Forest and
Stream, gives ; 1 1 1 ari-ounr of an r-xeitiii
experii'iiei' while li.-liinf? for tarpon in
Galveston hay. Hi' says:
"As I had made my arrangements to

the boatman that if he would give nie
one more fresli mullet I would bait the
hook, and, when that was taken, w
would go in. He gave me tho mullet,
put his oars in the locks and was ready
to start when I threw my bait over
board. I had not got three feet from the
I Doa before there was a mighty splash.
I Water was thrown all over mo, and my
mullet was taken by a tarpon. I was
scarcely prepared for him, but at the
same time I prevented his getting too

After this distance he turned to the left
and went at least 2 miles, until he
got into 5 or 6 feet of water. Then
he turned back across tho channel and
went on the opposite side of it, probably
IK, miles. After 212 hours he went
back into water 32 or 4 feet deep, and
I had some hope of getting him into
water where I could gaff him. But,
without warning, he turned to sea again
and did not stop until he had gone l,1

the bay for 54 hours, and a distauce of
not less than 12 or J3 miles. I found I
had no control over him, and I knew I
had him foul in gome way, because no j
pressure that 1 dared bring to bear
seemed to turn his head, and when I
got him broadside toward me and en
deavored to hold him I would draw him
broadside tome, and not head foremost,
which told me I had him hooked some
where in the side.
After I had worn out Captain Frank
Marsh, my boatman and myself, and
we had on several occasions almost de
cided to cut the line and let the fish go,
we began to have a little control over
him, and worked him toward shallow
water, and at 0:15 I got him into water
about Sj-j feet deep, and the captain got
into the water himself and worked up
to the fish and gaffed him, as he had a
gaff with a handle about G feet long.
After he got the gaff into the tarpon he
drew him toward the boat, and I killed
him with an oar. "
CURIOSITY FOR FLOWER LOVERS.
Eight Different Varities of Hoses Grown
on One Bash.
San Francisco has an immense rose
bush, which looks like an enormous
bouquet. At the top on one side hang
clusters of pure white roses, ln the
middle at the top are red roses, bloom
ing in profusion. Pink roses hang in
gay garlands at the top on the other
side. All over the bush are branches of
roses of other lines and colors. The del
icate La France, the white Mme.
Plantier, two varieties of Homer roses,
the Pauline Lebeau, the Black Prince,
the Castilian and the white Lamarque
lend variety and attest by their prolific
blooms to the virility of the stock upon
which they were grafted, sas the Hon
Francisco Call.
Tho owner of this rose bouquet is H.
L. Barker, who is connected with the
state bureau of mining. Once there
were 13 distinct varieties of roses on the
bush, but the tea roses grafted on proved
to be short lived, and only the hardier
varieties have survived. There are
enough now, eight, to make the bush
a curiosity. Mr. Barker's explanation is
that he likes to experiment with plants
and this rosebush is about 15 years
old. Branch after branch has been
grafted on. The original stock is the
June or cabbage rose. The width at the
top is not less than 25 feet, and the
height equals the width. There are
many stocks or trunks springing from
the roots. Carbon is plentifully supplied
to intensify the color of the blossoms.
Conversational Slovenliness.
Conversation also is often marked by
moral slovenliness. Not only is there
that kind of talk stained with dirt
which some men shamelessly exhibit,
but there are the conversations in which
there is a covert looseness, a doubleness
of meaning, a hint of that which may
not be said with manly straightforward
ness, which has in it a certain laxity,
aa far as moral rectitude is concerned.
There is that ready knowledge of every
body's misdeeds, as of their humbler
relations, which people dispense, some
with glittering mischief in their eyes,
others with confiding demureness "sc
dreadful, you know!" only it happens
that they do not know and are only re
tailing a lie which they have procured
from some dealer in that infamous ar
ticle, hinting away a man's or a wom
an's character and proving that they
have none of their own. Good Words.

ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hood'B Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Kemember

Oil, love! Ob, rupture!
As she walked trippingly along Va-
1 bash
avenue in Chieaao, thinkintr of s
Harold and Flohoken, her fluttering
heart was starried by her eyes falling I
on one of those familiar long distance
telephone signs consisting principally I
of a hlno be !.
Ordinarily a blaabell reminds one of
Scotland, but in this case it reminded
her of Hoboken.
"Oh, Harold!" she twittered all to
her dear little self. "Oh, Harold!"
Then, without further explanation cx-
shine to her.
Ten minutes of bliss with Harold!
Why had they never thought of this
before ?
Now, cvtryday they would commune
together, and life would be joy unutter
able. They would talk for hours instead of
minutes.
Oh, bliss!
And Harold?
Ah, Harold was in the ecstasies of an
elysiac that comes only to happy lovers.
That is to say, he was until a man
came with a bill.
Just what it said in detail Harold
did not know. All that he knew was
that he had been conversed with for ten
minutes at the rate of $2 a minute.
In an instant the whole world seemed
changed to him.
He looked at the man with the bill in
dull despair. He remembered the con
versation. The man seemed to understand, and,
promising to call the next day, he went
out softly.
The next day Harold had disappeared
forever.
The next day the man with the bill
called.
The next day Chicago could not get
Hoboken.
And it cost the girl $21 and her Har

Tommy's Mission That Day.
A small boy who had a great dislike
for school returned home for dinner a
little earlier than usual.
"Tommy, you nauglsty boy, you have
been playing truant," said his mother.
"A little dicky bird came in at the win
dow and told me so. "
The nest morning Tommy set out for
echool as usual. During the morning
his mother heard a noise from the far
end of the kitchen, and, looking round,
there saw Tommy crouched under thp
table.
"Tommy, you rascal, what are you
doing there?"
Seeing that he was discovered, he
crawled out, and, holding up a brick
which ho had by him, said:
"I was waiting to croak that dicky
bird. "Chicago Times-Herald.
