A Warning.
The defeat In committee Tuesday of
the bills prohibiting undue Interfer
ence by municipal employes with pri
mal y and general elections nnd con
vention", and foiblddlng political as
sessments, exposes the Hepubllcan pnr
ty In Pennsylvania to charges of In
sincerity, nnd will Inevitably etnbai
rass the defense- of the party's next
Ktatc ticket It It shall be followed
by the defeat of other leform legisla
tion Indorsed by the pni ty maes In
good faith, theie will be a haivcnt of
wrath for tho lesponslble Instruments
of this deception of the people.
Hofuge cannot bo taken by them In
tho excuse that factional dissension
was to blame. Xo matter w hat the
motles behind the scenes, the fact
cannot bo oei looked that pledges of
refoi m were solemnly made by two
state conventions, and that the
lit caking of thise pledges will disgust
nnd possibly nllenatc laige numbeis
of citizens who have heietofore cast
their ballots for Itepbllcan nomi
nees. These citizens can haidly be ex
pected to picric the Intricacies of fac
tional legislative manoeueiing and
locate; the lesponslblllty In each In
stance where it personally belongs.
They w 111 be much more likely to cry
"A plague on both our houses" and
wlthdiaw In indlcnntlon from fellow
ship with elthei.
If legislation in I'cnnsjlvanla has to
assume permanently the leel of a
battledore and shuttlecock arrange
ment between suspicious factions, each
bent on no higher purpose than ripping
Its rival up the back, the people can
hardly be blamed for expressing their
dissent. We hope for the'party's sake
that this gathering storm will burst
with discrimination; but the teachings
of the past lend small encouragement
to such a hope
Theie Is et time for the legislature
to face toward Its duty; but the time
Is perilously short and the chances of
Its Impiovement, we regret to say, are
depresslngly scant.

The passage of the bill of Senator
Vaughan authorising school controllers
to establish and maintain out of the
public tieasuiy free Mndergaitens for
children between the ages of throe and
fix years adds a desirable featuie to
our common school sjstem. The de
sirability, indeed the necessity, of kin
dergarten Instruction Is now so thor
oughly leconnlzed that it is unneces
sary at this late day to offer argument
In Its suppoit.
The only word of warning needed in
this connection must bo addiessed to
tho school controllers. While It Is the
community's wlh to have an ampllii
cation of the kindergarten system
there will be need of prudence In the
cxpondltuie of funds for this purpose
when once It Is begun. We have had
nn Illustration lecently of the dilemma

The Case of Gentry.
The action of the boatd of pardons
In recommending the commuting to life
lmprlsonintjnt of the death M'ntence
passed on James Gentiy toi the
murder of his swcctheai t, Madge D.
Yorke, has excited varied comment;
but, that of thi! Philadelphia Itetord Is
tho furthest nwa from Justice.
"While Gently hlmll live," it sajs,
'thero will be no particular use for
tho gallows In Pennsylvania, no m itter
as to the manner of the butcheUe.s
which our laws nro intended to punish

governor to withhold approval Horn the
board's lecomineudatlon.
And yet, as tho iUconl Itself admits,

War Possibilities.
The opinions of foremost diplomatists
in Washington ns to the Turco-Grecian
war are certainly Interesting at this
time. According to William E. Curtis,
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Ilccotd, they are almost unani
mous In agreeing that the conlllct now
en In Southwestern Europe will end
with tho dismemberment of the Turk
ish empire As he puts It: "Russia
has for cars been trying to Involve
Turkey In hostilities In order that sho
might have an excuse to comtuer and
annex the sultnn's dominions, and that
purpose Is so well known In Europe
that the Christian poweis have de
clined to interfere forcibly In Tuiklsh
nffalis "because they know that sooner
or latei such Interference would In
volve them with Hussla. The agents
of the czar provoked tho massacres of
the Armenians with the hope and ex
pectation that England, Germany and
other nations would Intervene. When
they refused to do o the massacres
ce.ired nnd Husslau Intrigue sougnt an
other field of notion, which was found
nmeng the discontented Cretans. The
fphtlng Greeks nnd Turks must make
a batlloKrouml of their own provinces,
v h.ch nio notoriously tllslojnl, and are
,sui rounded by nations whoso sjmpa
tblt& nro enthely with her enemies,
ar.c! the sultan knows very well that
the big paw of tho Russian bear Is
likely to fall upon him at any moment."
According to ex-Minister John A.
Kasson, "tho nmbltlon of the Greeks is
to extend their territory around the
head of the Adriatic to Constantinople
Itself. All title Greeks dream of the
day they shall again rule In their an
cient city upon the Hosphorus.
Tluoughout Roumella and these other
small buffer states thero are many
Greeks. Tho policy of Greece Is to stir
them Into lnsuuectlon against tho
Turkish authorities. Hero is one of the
gieat elements of the danger In the
situation That whole region Is highly
Inilammable There may be uprisings
nmong the Clnlstlan mountalneeis In
all parts of Euiopean Turkey. The
poweis will have a gieat task on their
bands If lnsuncctlon breaks out In
these Grecian communities. Uoth
Christians nnd Moslems aie very ex
citable, and they are, moreover, inde
pendent of their lelations to their
princes All the Greeks of this region
have in them inoio or less of the traits
of the old Greek democracy of :',000
years ngo. If an Insunection breaks
out lcie It will be beyond tho control
of courts and cannot bo reached by
armies without groat delay. Thero
may in this tinder box of humanity
break out a religious war which will
honlfy all tho world with Its fierce
ness and its. atrocities.
"Theto can be no permanent peace,
no adequate settlement of these ex!ng
Questions," concludes Mr. Kasson, In
an Instinctive Interview with Walter
Wellman, for the Times-Herald, "till
tho Turk Is cither driven altogether out
of Europe or confined tcrritoilally to
the vicinity of Constantinople. The
fire of lebelllnn throughout these piov
Inces Is never extinguished and never
can be extinguished as long as the
Turk Is their nominal or actual ruler.
It Is now and then covered up, but It
alwas exists. If tho war goes on, if
these provinces burst into a blaze of
Insurrection, Europe may find it nec
essaiy to parcel out European Turkey
or a gieat pait of It. I do not think
there is to be- a general European wnr
growing out of tills dllilcultv, though
of com so tho situation Is hazardous,
and must lemnln hnzaidous till neace
be lestored. If war comes it will, In
my opinion, bo on some other pretext
than that presented In tho Cretan
situation. If one of the larger poweis,
for Instance, attempts to secure a part
of Tin key for heiself war will Inevit
ably follow "
In view o? the- ciltlcal nature of the
times In Constantinople and the great
lesponslblllty which Is to be thrust
upon our minister theto, many expres
sions of satisfaction over tho appoint
ment of President Angell as our dlplo
matlo lepiesentatlve at that point aie
heaid In olllclal and unoillclal circles
at Washington. This is particularly
true among church people. President
Angell Is a Congregationalism Mrs.
Angell Is, pei haps, more than any
other woman In Ameilca active In tho
boaid of foreign missions of that
church, whlth maintains in Asia Minor
a gi eater missionary establishment
than any other religious organization.
Theie aie many claims against the
porte growing out of Injuries to mission
property In Tuikey. and these Piesl
dent Angell is counted on to prcs& with
exceptional vigor. Ho is the choice of
tho church for Its own work and pur
ines, and his well-known high char
acter und great ability, in addition to
his expetience as minister to China,
are believed by Mr. Wellmun to fit
him to a remaikaule degree for the
dlfllcult task which lies before him.
In this connection a dispatch from
Ann Arbor offers Information of value.
In that city Mr. Angell's appointment
Is supposed to mean that President
McKlnley's administration Intends to
bring to a speedy end tho dwadllng
negotiations that have been dragging
.through many months with reference
to the payment of damages for the de
struction of lives and property of Am
erican citizens nnd to make his Otto
man majesty feel the full responsibil
ity of the outrages with which his sol
dlers have Insulted this nation In the
past- It has become known that Dr.
Angell first received an offer of ap
pointment as regulnr minister to Tur
key for four years and that he declined
It. Later ho was asked to go to forco
a settlement of tho claims of American
missionaries agulnst the Turkish gov
ernment nnd ncceptcd. When that
work Is dune his mission will have been
pel formed and he will return to this
country. Dr. Angell's selection for this
post Is spoken of In all tho religious
papers as particularly gratifying to tho
foreign missionary organizations In the
United States. Tor many years ho has
been actively Interested In foreign mis
sionary work, and no longer ago than
last October he was selected as one of
a committee of three by the American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions to visit President Cleveland
and urgo the necessity of such vigor
ous action as It In supposed he vv 111
take. That committee, or a part of It,
saw President Cleveland, but the Inter
view was not followed by any cnllven
ment of the policy of quasi Inactivity
which the missionary societies ascribe
to Minister Terrell.
What effect the precipitation of ac
tual war will have upon his mission
cannot, of course, be foreseen; but It
Is probable that ere his term as min
ister Is ended, the presence of more
than one American warship will be le
qulred within convenient proximity to
Constantinople.
It' Is one thing for Turkey to whip
the life out of Greece, according to
mllltaiy statistics, and aulto another
to do It on tho battlefield, as we think
lesults will feoon prove,
A Short Talk with Huslncss Men.
An Intei view with J. M. Munyon, tho
Philadelphia patent medicine man,
printed yesterday in the Press of that
city, mentions the fact that the con
cern of which he Is the originator and
head and which, In five jears, during
tho thick of the hard times, lias cleared
$3,000,000 spends $400,000 a yeai In
newspaper advertising. Mr Munyon's
theory, by tho way. Is worth quoting
'Tlrrt," says he, "I make sure that
we have got a good thing to sell, then
I push It."
There Is a lesson In this example for
business men In Scranton. They com
plain of dull times; but are thev not
to some extent guilty of dulling the
times? Times are Just as dull In the
communities that Munyon reaches ns
they are here perhaps on the aveiage
Vnoro so. But Munyon declines to let
that Interfere with his business. He
knows that In a country as rich as
ouis Is, there Is bound to be sufficient
money to transact necessary tiade.
Theiefore he undertakes, by Judicious,
energetic and effective advertising, to
make his trade necessary. He not only
thinks he has a good thing nt a fair
price, but he Imparts this "think" to
others. That method of doing things
has made him rich; still, he holds no
patent on It.
Munyon, It will be noted, doesn't ad
vertise as if ho were afraid to do busi
ness He doesn't take half an Inch In
the papers, fill It with simply his
name and address, and then get dis
couraged If the next day his stock Isn't
bought away from him like flap Jacks
at a church supper. On tho contrary,
he noes at the business of advertising
ns If It were a business; gets tho best
position he can, pajs for It, and fills
It with the most effective English In
the catchiest type that can be put to
gether. He changes his advertisement
each day; makes It as newsy as the
news, and keeps at It until results
come.
What a field theie Is for this kind of
capitalized brain-work In Scranton!
It was most inconsiderate in Phila
delphia's board of trade to Indorse the
Dingley bill the very day after Colonel
McClure had elaborated the theory
that Dlngley's bill was a special swipe
at Philadelphia.
CaMses of
the War
Trom the Pittsburg Times,
Why aro tho Greeks and Turks snoot
ing oah other, and why Is Kuropo In a
feiment, uio the questions that u. good
many peoplo aie asking, now that the
peaeo of Europo las been dlstmbed for
almost tho Hist tlmo in u generation. It
Is partly tho old light of tho Chi Mian
agulnst tho Infidel. It Is also another at
tempt to eliminate that iirlratlng Euro
pean sore, tho Turkish empire. Tho Tuik
has been n bad man in Europe for ages.
Thero was a tlmo when ho threatened to
overrun tho wholo of It, and to conquer it
for Mohammedanism. He was fought
to a standstill several hundred years ago,
down somewhere Ir- Central Europe, and
ever since then he has been receding, and
one prov Inco af tei another has been w rest,
ed fiom him, but, through it all, he has
been 111-bchavcd and troablesome He has
been a bad neighbor. He hus oppressed
his subjects and caused levolts, and wheie
his subjects wcro ChiUtlans ho has mas
sicirl and mui dried them and thus led
th Indignation and hatred of tho peoplo
of the Chrlstinn powers Ho has been en
gnged In Innumerable wars and has gen
erally been worsted, but ho still letalns
possession of Constnntlnope, the ancient
capital of the eastern Itoman empire, and
ruies over largo provinces In Europe,
many of which aro Inhabited by Christian
people.
Tor a long time tho chief capital of the
Turk hns been tho cause of tho Jealousy
of each other by tho great European pow
ers. They have harped upon piescrvlng
tho Integrity of tho Turkish empire, feir
Ing that, If it was dismembered, in the
struggle for tho possession of Its territory
tho whole of Europo would become cm
broiled In war Ilussla. hus long wanted
to get possession of Constantinople to
strengthen her power In tho east and to
glvo her control of tho Black sua, but Eng
land would consider this dsngerous to her
power In that quarter and In tho Medi
terranean, and would sooner seo It In tho
hands of Turkey Other countries have
their oyes on vnrlous portions, and nil of
them havo been afraid tint when tho
break up comes somebody elso would get
ahead of them.
In consequenco of this attitude Turkey
has of Into been allow ed to mlsbeh'avo
hereolf without being seriously called to
book. Tho recent horrlblo massacres of
Armenian Christians In her dominions
have aroused tho temper of Christendom
to an unusual degree, but beyond feeblo
protests riothlng has been done, and noth
ing would ravo been done had not Oreeco
stepped Into the nrena, Greece was for
morly a province of Turkey nnd achieved
her Independence in- 1821, She has felt
all tho Ignominy of Turkish oppression
1 and misrule. Sho hns many grievances
against her former oppressors, and her
peoplo hnvo lonjr nursed their wrath.
They aro intense!? patl lotto. They havo
felt cramped and starved for tho reason
that when they achieved their lndepond
I enco, by tho Intervention of tho powers,
I much of tho territory that really belonged
to Greece nnd which Is Inhabited by
Greek people was not Included In the ces
sion, but still remains under tho rule of
Turkey. Crete, which Is an Island near
tho Greek border, and Inhabited mostly
by peoplo who weak the Hellenic lan
gunge, and are to all Intents and pur
poses Greeks, has been ono of tho worst
governed of tho ninny misgoverned prov
inces of Turkey. It hns revolted many
tltnos, and In consequence reforms have
been promised, but 'tho piomtses havo
been uniformly broken. As n result ot
these broken promises the last Insurrec
tion took place, und as there was a tcrrl
lilo state of disorder on the Island and as
Christians vvero being mnssacred, public
sentiment In Orocco forced tho govern
ment to do what nono of the great pow
ers had dared to do namely, to Intcrfctc.
A portion of tho nuvy and army of
Greece was sent to tho Island and It was
taken possession of. Previous to this ac
tion tho areek premier thus cxprcsspd
himself on the situation : "There must bo
nn end to tho present state of things In
Crete. The impression made by the recent
masBticrcs, devastations and plunder has
created a public opinion which cannot be
overlooked by tho Greek government. Wo
cannot always act as guardians to Turkey
and endeavor to suppress tho sentiments
ot our brothers by postponing Indefinitely
the fulfillment of their most cherished ns
plratlons." Thnt this fully expressed tho
entlmont of the people was shown later
when tho pressure, became so great that
tho Greek government would havo been
overthrown had It not yielded to the de
mand of the people 'that Intervention tako
place When It was decided o send a flo
tilla to Crete tho Greeks went wild with
enthusiasm. Tho act of taking posses
sion of a portion of Turkish territory with
an armed force was sufllclcnt cause for
war and was so recognised everywhere,
and the actual war would havo been bo
gun sooner had It not been for the action
of the powers, who were frightened out
of their wits by tho bold action of this
llttlo bantam among tho nations.
Xevw that wnr is actually on there Is no
knowing where It will end. Greece will
tight for glory, for tho building of nn cm
plro and for tho conquering of all tho
terrltorv Inhnbltrd by the Greek people.
She will fight for her religion nnd sho
wl'.l reprcwit In her battles the com
bined hatred of Europe against the Turk
and his pr ictlces Numerically she Is
Inferior to Turkey, nnd tho contest seems
an unequal one. Hut there arc other
features which may make tho contest not
o hooelcss for the Hellenic patriots, who
expect an uprising of the people In Mace
donia nnd poslbly of Servla and Hulgarla
ard other pi ov Inces There has really
been a state of war between tho two na
tions ever since the occupation of Cieto
on Pob 13, but thero havo been no actual
hostilities outside ot that Island until a
few davs ago In tho meintlme, however,
both sides hnvo been m iking tho most ac
tive preparations for the conflict nnd tho
Turks especially hnvo been oceupjlng and
fort'fjlng strategic points on the frontier
In vlolntlon of their troitles It is on this
nccount thnt Greece makes the claim that
Turkey Is tho aggressor and claims that
the war which her people so much desired
has been forced upon her,
