Peihans the attendance will be small, hut (hat would simply show what nonsense the Demo cratic party talked in 1S! and ItKN). Tmainar le called an era of Mull prices that in, pood prioea that are profit able to all. And -yet there is no com plaint. Americans have learned that cheapness and little or nothing to buy with, because we pet so little for what we have to sell, mo-t of which is labor, cut not compare with good pritits and plenty to buy with. Thk New York World iDeni.) speaks of the Democratic party as being in a "dismal and disheartened plight." The fact that during Cleveland's administra tion its policies drove thousand of poor women and children to tho pangs of hunper and want has perhaps given it "congestion of the conscience." We are glad to know that it is repenting. An inlluential and trustworthy journal of Vienna, "Politische Correspoudenit," announces that French olllcial circles have given u the idea of organizing a continental boycott of AmerVan export, declaring that the difficulties of organiz ing an effective European customs league against the United States are considered insuperable. The threat was never more thnn a alo, transparent bluff anyhow, and it never stared anybody in this country excepting a few people who were looking for something to get scared at. Gov. Stonk on Saturday announced the personnel of the capitol completion commission, as follows: Congressman William II. (irahaui, of Allegheny ; Superintendent of Public Instruction Nathan C. Schaotler, of Lancaster; Ed Ward Bailey of ilarrisburg, and Senator William P. Snyder of Spring City. Dr. Schaefl'er is a Democrat ami the others are Republicans. The appropriation for the completion of the capitol is $4,000,000, and under tho provisions of tho act creat ing the commission the building must be completed by January 1, 10u. About 4,0OO claims for pension on ac count ol the Spanish-American war have been tilled, and of these only 7,(XK) have as yet been granted. The total number of troops engaged in tho war with Spain, both volunteers and regulars, will not ex coed 278,000. The claims presented are thus only about 17 per cent, of tho whole number of soldiers enlisted in that mem orable war. On May 1, 186., three weeks aftor the surrender of Lee the total strength ol the Union army was 1,000,.-18. On Juno 1, lfloi, there were f7,8o4 names on the pension rolls of the United States. Derrick. Tub President's proclamation estab lishing free trade be' wee 11 Porto Rico and the United State has benefitted com merce already. Cargoes which have been awaiting shipment for some time have cloared from Atlantic port and some vessels have come in with Porto Rican produce. The United States will soon enjoy the advantagoa of practically all the island's trade both In exports and imports. The economic develop nont of our West Indian dependency should from this time on be rapid, and by this proclamation an impulse w ill be given to every important material intorest in Porto Rico. Pliila. Times. Tho Same Old XonseDse. The Democratic platform in Ohio con tains no free silver, but it has plenty of other easily recognized foolishness. "The abolition of the so-called protective sys tem and the substitution in its place of the traditional. Democratic policy of a tariff for revenue, so levied as not to bur den one industry for the benefit of another," is one of the changes it advo cates. "Tariff reform," it says, "was never more urgently demanded than now, when the production of the country so far exceeds it power of consumption that foreign markets are a prime condi lion of its continued prosperity." The country is, in truth, prosperous, and tho Dingley law is identified with this era of Unequaleri foreign trade. Rut just the name the Democratic party present the same programme as in the period of the Wilson-Uornian tariff incompetence and national depression. "The Republican party," the platform proceeds, "can not lie trusted to deal with evils of it own creation." The Re publican party was called on to deal with evils of Democratic creation, and has certainly acquitted itself ably la that arduous task. It is quite ready to answer for the alleged evils of its own creation Again, the platform oppose expansion, holding that recent accessions "imperil the national safety without promoting thd national welfare; that they devolve upon us enormous responsiblitiea we have no call to assume; that they tend to embroil us with Enropean power," with much more of the same kind. The 'inference is that the Democrat of Ohio would have surrendered tho Phillipplnes and would take that course in dealing with a like cricis in the future. These points are quite suUlcient to show that Ohio and the country will have no use for this alleged conservation brand of Democracy. On In Athens. The country between Smyrna aud Kphesus was rather pleasii.g to look lip on. There was enough variety to keep one' attention engaged all the time. Sometime we were winding along a stream closely pressed by high hill or mountains and then the valley would widen out into a plain of considerable ex tent. Large herds of rattlo and horse were seen grazing here and there. These were mostly w hite In color. Further up the valley where the couutry was more wild we saw camps of Kodouins. They dwell in touts of camel's hair cloth, white with black stripes running lengthwise, and which are said to be almost impervi ous to water. These people always wear an outer coat u.ado of this same cloth. How they enduie it in I he hot weather is a mystery. Only a lew years ago traveling without an escort through this section was dangerous. The mountains were infested by bauds of brigands and out laws who would swoop down on the un protected traveler and rob him and often times lake hia life. Rcceutlv they have been hunted dowu or driven further back iuto the mountains of the interior. These valley are fairly well tilled Four wheeled wagons were seen and plows like those used in our own coun try weie in use here. Unlike anything we bad seen so far they used horses for plowing and general work instead ol cows, donkeys, niules. Ac. An entrench ed habit is bard to break. The old style of plow had only one handle and the p:ow man would guide the plow witldoue hand, walking along the side of it. When they get our plows they do the same thing. Instead of holding both handles and walking In the furrow they hold one Landle and walk on the solid ground. Our train reached Smyrna on time and by a quick transit we were soon on board our vessel to which our baggage had been transferred during our absence. The anchor was hoisted, the whistle blew and we were on our way across the historic Aegean Sea to the shores ol classic Greece. Night soon came on and when the morn ing light appeared we were sailing along the shores ot that land which has given birth to onio of the greatest men the world las over seen. The one special object, to catch a sight of which we were straining our eyes, was Athens, tl.e seat of the highest culture and refinement of the pro-christian ago. At last we saw two peaks rising sharply above the plain which we were told were the Lycabettas and Acropolis of Athens. Upon the later could be een outlined against the distant hills the far famed Parthenon. Athens is an inland city situated some six miles from the sea. The sea port is Piraeus, so closely associated with A thons in classic history as to be almost equal to it in poiul of interest. In au cictit times two long walls rea hing from Allien to the sea were built enclosing the Piraeus and Phaleron another port close by. These walli were intended a protection against an 1 nemy on land and at the same time giye the Athenians safe access to the sea. Ouly slight remain of these walls are now to be seen. Just outside of the harbor, and north of it, is the famous Salamis, where the fleet of the Greeks of 300 vessel put to utter destruction that of the Persians number ing I1111O vessels. This occured in 4&1 B. C. So certain was Xerxes, the Persian king, of victory that he had a throne chair with silver feet placed on a high hill com manding a full view of the coming battle where he might witness the destruction of the Greeks. But the great Xerxes had found a foeman worthy of his steel and only with difficulty succeeded in making ins escape. This famous victory of the Greeks was celebrated In verse by Aes chylus, and in 472 B.C. .and was played in the theatre of Dlonysos in Athens. Piraeus has a good enclosed harbor, Rut here again we had to face the quar antine question and for more than two hours we lay out in the bay while our of ficers were trying to convince the health boar 1 thai, the passengers were all well and that the ship had not touched at any infected port now under the ban of quar antine. When the order to disembark was given we were not long in getting ashore an I entering the carriages for the drive to Athens. Piraeus is quite an active town with a a population ofs.,on0. It is entirely mod ern, coincident with the new Athens, though like the latter, it is built on the old site. The location of the old Piraeus seems to have been entirely forgotten un til the question of the site for the modern Athens came up 111 18:U, when Greece again became an independent kingdom. It was decided to rebuild old Athens, then a mere village of 3110 houses, and make it again tho seat of government. Of course thore must bo a seaport and modern Piraeus is tho result. The drive to Athens, over a very good mecadam road, was uninteresting. The valley lying between two low hills would have lieen beautiful had it not been for the drought which has been quite gener al throughout the east this year. The grain, principally oats that I saw, and which was being harvested in the old style witn hand sickles, was very poor. fcarlier grains may have been better. If not somebody would auroly go hungry. Iho streets of old Athens are very nar row and crooked, but modern Athens is one of the most handsome and regularly built cities ol the Levant, having been planned by a German architect. The royal palace is situated on a slight eleva tion facing Constitution Square and is not a very imposing structure, at least it did net impress me as such. It is rectangular in form and paiufully regular. Its num erous window give it more the appear ance of a well kept barracks. The flat roof is thickly studded over with chilli neys and air tunnels that at first glance look like soldiers on guard. The nome of the Crown Prince, less prominently situated, ia a much more pleasing struc ture. As a rule the Greeks are a good looking people although I did not see the great beauties I had ls?en led to expect They may have been there but I did not see them. Ot fairly bardsome men and women, however, there were plenty. On Constitution Square, just In front of our hotel, a concert was given every eve 1 nlng. Small tallies and chairs were thickly set all oyer the square where the thirsty were provided wilh drinks, most ly wine I think. On Sunday the square was tho chief place for promenades and was full ofpeoplo all day. Steam car streetcars and 'busses all passed this square and kept up a clatter all day aud lute iuto tho night. Once in a while a curious costume worn by the old time Greeks was seen. It consisted of pair of 'hoea with the point turned up like sled sole, at the lip of which a tassel was fastened which kept a flirting around wilh every step, a pair of w hite tights, a sort of kilt, while, and gathered very full and which came only half way to the knee, aud around the shouldeia was worn a loose fitting cloak. Altogether it was very picturesque, and was worn with much dignity. The stores and shops wero cleau and well kept. The proprietors were making hay while the sun shone, as the season for tourists would soon be over. The Greeks are, by nature, merchants, and drive a thriving trado wherever they aro. We met them everywhere. Nearly all the hotels w here we stopped were kept by Greeks. In nearly every city sonic of the best stores were under Greek man. agement. Some of them have Income wealthy iu loreigu countries aud are now contributing generously to the restoration of Athens. They havo ever been a loyal and patriotic people and only the overwhelming foreeoi num bers ovci threw tho lis! ion in the past centuries. The ualion is poor. It ha no natural resouroi a to speak of and must depend upon their uiilliancy in the commercial world to keep up their revenues, and the very livelihood of tho people. It has already made rii id strides since gaining it independence In 1S'I5 aud has become, no mean rival for tho commercial fruits of tho Aegean and Med iterranean trade. Greece has always been a little short on blue blood, titled nobility. Aristo crats never did have it very comfortable there. Aristocracy had to work and, when necessary, go to war instead of stirring up a wnr and then calling on the plebs to tight h:s rattles and save his dignity. The Greek was not that kind of a fellow and so aristocracy languished in that inhospitable clime. After the in surr.ction ill ISrtS and their erstwhiio king had taken his departuro tho peoplo began to look around for the scion of some royal house to be their royal hesd. Most ol the reigning houses of Europe hud plenty, and to spare, but the Greeks wisely made choice of William, tho sec ond son of the Kint of Denmark, w ho in 1JW3 was crowned King of the Greeks as George I. The King is vory popular with the people notwithstanding the un fortunate atlair with the Turks a few ye..rs ago. The great pity is that he did not win. lie Is said to be very fond of Americans, and I was told that when driving along tho street if ho saw an American he would salute him. T can not confirm this statement as King George was not in the city w hile I was there. It is woll known, however, that tho King ia vory Democratic. J. V. McAninch. May 13, 1001. A (toot! Thing.
