THE THREATS OF DELAY.
Dornooratip Senators ari? in donjror of achiev?
tnir nn apparent Impoaaibttlty. It 1ms leetiied
beyond hiniiar. porwer 10 intensify public dlsgUlt
with their party, or ;?> deepen tlie public con?
viction that It has no cijiri-!ty except for amaz
Idk and plienomcnal bhmden, But trwe that
feat may bo accemjilishe?! by DetDOCTgtk Sen?
ators if enough of tliein fa.t'..iu.<!y obatroct th<?
final action Whkk Is ueorssary t.? stop ih.? ?l?;i
cit, to replenish the Treasury and save it from
bankruptcy, ami to restore life to basin.-ss and
prosperity to Industries. It has been luppo?Md
that the most ordinary (vnimon-sense would
prereal n?-edktg and ?UUSMI tial?!?? delay for
purely factious motives. DrtDOCTgtlC Sena:?.:?
of prommeooe have rejieatediy declared thai
tin :r party would not attempt nnd could not
gfford f? delay ?M revenue b.ll merely fur UtC
sake eaf delay, or in order to remler Its efTerts
less b? !????'?? :;*.l to the couniry. Bol then an
sifir.s that some Senators on that side will in?
sist upon purely useless delay, and may be up?
held therein by party ggSOClgtOSJ, bt MOM of an
unuttend but Intensely MttCT feeling ;hat sp.?. ly
proaperity after a Republlcaa biauguratloa
Would contrast too sharply with sjn-i dy dlaaa
tiT four years atro.
l'r.??.' mi of debate, within reason. Il a neees
?ary safeguard of republican institutions. Acute
CrltsPlarfl by gf>P??JMBtJ Is often of esseir.lal ad
vantaite to the majority, enabling It to realize
and -.'iiard against errors which had been over
Iooke?l. Hut there are times when patriotic duty
imperatively demands action without one hour
of needless delay. Thi ? the responsible ma?
jority must be trusted, under the pressure of
Itrlct personal accountability, to discharge Its
duty to thr? country according to its convi.-ions,
and with what ability and caro it can. The ef?
fort to pick flaws and poke holes nnd take time
for the manufacture of party capital then be?
comes hostile to the public welfare and honor.
When President Cleveland appealed to Congress
to make provision for borrowlue- in order to pro?
tect the Treasury, after his Venezuela perform
auce had caused alarm, a Republican Howe
gave up Its Christmas vacation, cut off entirely
the debate for which the errors of the Adminis?
tration afforded so fruitful ard tempting an op
porrunity, and put through between two ?lays,
so to speak, a measure to empower the Admin
tetratlon to borrow, an it had proposed, though
In Rcpubl'.ran belief the right remedy ?anal to
Increase the revenue. Re the o ?asion what It
may, a patriotic party is never caught sa.riiicing
the Nation's welfare or prosperity for the aake
of making capital for itself, or prolonging a fac
tU>us opposition to those charged with respon?
sibility.
The situation is not now one of emergency,
only because- there ha? been sure faith that Dem?
ocrats would not lie no unpatriotic nnd suicidal
as needlessly to delay the raising; of revenu.'.
Should It begin to appear probable that tho
revenue bill would be indefinitely delayed, for
tin* sake of continuing a petty criticism of Its
details, and prevenni)}; a gpa?sdj revival of busi?
ness, there might with reason be expected seri?
ous apprehension. Democratic business men
arc perfectly aware of this, and the Democratic
Senators who represent Rub.Mantial Interests are
| warned of it. Hut those Senators who represent
only Ignorance, hatred of property nnd Hryan
Ism delight la the repetition of the cheap nnd
false assenions that there has been no Improve?
ment since the election, and sueh men are tempt?
ed to take care that there shall be none no Ions
as they are able to prevent It.
With them are secretly allied those who repre?
sent only foreign manufacturing and trading
Interests, the Importing business, and the com?
binations which obtained by purchase especial
favors from the f ramera of the present tariff.
Delay Is money to those interests. Delay lone
? ?? ?ugh to peace in the American market hun?
dreds of shiploads of dross goods, wool, augur,
tobacco and other articles on which duties must
l*o raised in order to obtain needed revenue
would enable the interests behind some Senators
ro re;il?7.e millions of profits. Tlie partisan
temptation sides with the enormous interests
of Importunate friends, and the dancer Is that
OBCC UOn the Democrats Will exhibit themselves
as the chief foes of public prosperity, and the
most efficient friends of everything that is not
Amcrlcin. It |g not possible yet to believe that
all will prove so senseless. But the threat of
conspicuous G?? e-Trade orggna that Democrats
may delay financial action for some tnonthg ??"
pearg to reflect the wishes of certain Democratic
Senators.
WHY THE GREEES A RE BEATEN.
Chapter by chapter the tale of Greek disaster
|g disclose?!. It Lb explained how. after for a
;imi> holding and eren gaining ground against
a far superior force, the Greek Army was com?
pellcd to retire In confoslon all along the line
The sto?,?;? |g at once one of the most glorious and
one of the most ghamefoi in tin? annals of war.
The (lory belongs to tlie Creek soldiers, and to
gome of Ib? Ir officers, who have leil with a skill
and fought with | valor <?f wbtcb BOJ Dation
might well be proud. The shame resta upon ?
ft w of the highest offlecrs and some politicians,
including members of the g. n?'ral staff and of
ihr* Court circle, who through Ignorance, cow?
ardice or treason pre/rented the troops from win?
ning Tlctorlet which wen actually within their
grasp, ind turned sure triumph into glmost hope?
less rout. Mr. Halli is right. The Creek Army
Ig intact. It has been defeated not by the Turks,
but by its own con mand?is.
observe tho facts as set forth by a shrewd and
Impartial cogruspoaoVnt in the field. Down to
last Friday night ihe Greek lines on the border
MSl of M'louna Pass wore so'tire. The ??reeks
were not merely holding their own. They were
pushing th?* Turks back. Two days more would
have given them Mencxo, and then I'.lassona
would have been at their mercy, and the Turk?
ish Army would bare been in a bad trap. But
then, without apparent rhyme Of reason, an
orda came from headquarters for them to re?
treat, and to abandon to tlie Turks all that they
had won and held so brSTely and at such cost.
Tims ihe whole eastern frontier waa opened for
tbe Turks. Nor was that all. T!ie Creeks 11:1
der the gallant Smolensk! were still holding Re?
ren! Par-?; and other points wesl of Milouna
Pass, from which they could threaten, Bttack
and perbapa capture Elassona. They were ?ctu
ally advancing and driving the Turk* before
them when orders came fn m the Crown Prince
himself for them to halt and maintain a passlre
attitude, and then to retreat an 1 abandon tlie
whole western from ?.t. in tbe battles around
Mat! similar blunders or crimes wen com?
mltted. <~mo prominent Greek offlcor, seeing
some Tnrkfl occupying tbe place toward which
he was marching, turned back and fled without
tiring a shot. Another, whose position was at?
tacked by the Turks, wanted to defend it, and
COUld have done so BUCCOtsfully had be received
the reinforcements fr,r which be asked, and
which might readily have been gupplled. Bui
they were not gupplled, nnd he was ordered lo
retire. Finally, instead ?f effecting a deliberate
and orderly retreat to Pharaalos, Ihe command?
ing officer? eeemed to try almost t?> turn it into
a hopeless stampede. There is, moreover, apart
from these operations, the unexplained neglect
of the Greek heel to paralyse the Turkish Army
by g di seem upon Balonlca, which there is every
reason to bellere i? might bare done a week ago
will) ease.
The last word has not been gpoken on the???
matters. Hut whatever It may be. it will prob?
ably not alter tii" gaped of tbe facts as above
pri Bented, nor weaken In any degree the lii
?lietment which has been made of the Crown
Prince's Staff, if not of the Crown Prinee him?
self. Victory was within reach, and it was de?
liberately sacrificed. Whether this was done
Intentionally, or through mere Ineptitude, does
not yet appear, and does not greatly matter, ex?
cept so far as dealing with tlit? culprits is con?
cerned. The mischief has bet ? done, and there
is little hop?? of undoing it. The brave and ef
feetive stand made at Velestino shows that the
Creek Army is not destroyed, nor even demoral?
ized, and that It can still fight and win victories
when properly led. But the best lender In the
world might well shrink from the task of trying
to regain the ground which has been lost during
tbe last week through ?lie folly or worse of on
worthy command? rs.
COMEDY A\D TRAGEDY OF THE WAR.
Of a truth, gome greater power than tne groat
Powers has "mocked the counsel <>f the wise
and the valor of the braTe." Por month.?? tbe
statesmen of Europe bare been studying and
striving to keep the peace, ami the vast nrnia
ments of War Lords have threatened compulsi?n
and punishments unutterable to any who gbould
break it. <>r so, nt any ra;??, they bare appeared
to do. In sp,te tif ail. the peace is broken, tia
grantly and tremendously, and the belligerent?
have little fmr and little MUM for fear of the
militant wrath of the great Powers. It BUg
gesta u comment, not altogether creditable, noon
the might and ?lignity of nations. If the a ill and
the puissance of Kurope's six great Powers In
held thus lightly by two minor States, which ex?
ist only on sufferance of Umm Powers, what
vanity of vanities Is the divinity that doth ledge
a king:
Nor is that the sole failure of the great
Powers. Their words have been proved as idle
as their works ar?? inefficient "The Concert
meang peace and Justice," they proclaimed. Yet
gross Injustice has prevailed and dm s ???;, I,
and Avar has come; not In spite of, but as the
desrael-sighted ohaenrera "recognise, rather ba>
causa of that very Conoert "Compulsion of
Turkey, or ? hint of Avar." they earne-ily pro?
tested, "would mean Immediate nml wholesale
"massacres of Christian:? throughout that yMi.
"?i.re." But It Is not so. There were massa.res
Just before the war bagni U, Cut there have been
none sinee, nor are any feared. The embassies
ask uo special guardships In the GoMen Hon.
no addeil companies of marinen Jn Pera. The
whole grim prophecy has failed.
The situation would be comb' were It not bo
trngle. It would be comi?? In the utter dlsiom- 1
liture of tho great Powers, the falseness of their
prophecleR, the failure of their labors, the flout- i
Ing of their will. It Is tragle in the unspeakable !
horrors of actual war, for which the great
Powers are accountable; In the disheartening ex?
posure of their helplessness; and In, not least of
all, the humiliating demonstration of "with how
little wisdom the world is governed!" For Ihe
only wise government ? right government, and
tho great Powers' dealing with this Mastern
Question have not been right. For fifty years
they have been marked with lelfllbBega, greed,
cunning, temporizing, with all thlnrrs save
straightforward, manly righteousness. And DOW
humanity must bear the heavy penalty.
THE KENTUCKY 8ENAT0E8BIP.
The Stute of Kentucky, and indeed the whole
country, mr.y well be congratulatoli on the end
; Ing of the Senatorial contest at Frankfurt, which
had boon prolongi-d to a wearisome length ami
? had been marked with more than ?me atrocious
; scandal. Almost any emling of It would have
been a relief to tho public, but that which was
yesterday effected seems to be particularly Hit?
, iafactory. The will of the majority <>f the peo
i pie of the Stato has been obeyed by tin? election
j of a Senator from the ranks of the majority
? party. Th.- gang of racetrack boluca and ruf?

BOOKS IS THE D1NQLEY BILL.
One provision <>f the ponding Tariff I'll
changes not only the present law, and th" Mc?
Kinley act. but the established policy of the
(???veniment. It takes books which bave been
published more than twenty years ou: uf tbe
free list and puts a dii'y of 28 per ceni npon
them, if the decision of the committee and the
actinn of the House were based npon any strong
representation of the Impori.ince of thli emirs,?.
thai fa 't has not appeared. II certainly a is
nut supposed that the free entry of old books
had caused so much discontent as ??> convince
the framera "f tho tariff of tin- n< - ? tj of sub
Jecl ng them to a duly, tm ti:?? contrary, per
-.mi- a bone tastes and pursuits kepi the subjeei
before their minds generally believed, we
that the settled practice operated satisfactorily.
it was natural, therefore, thai the m ? depart?
ure ibonld cans.- tinn? surprise and regrel so
soon as ?r ><..???- announced. Tbeir attitude re
mains the same, all the obvious argumenta be
ing on thi Ir side, and t." d< fence of the proposed
change having Lus far been attempted.
In ?uch ? case the flrst asaumption is thai the
eons id ration of revenue has prevailed; bui In
this instance I ial hypothesis ?? scarcely tenable.
I'r ira the ofB -i.il comparative statei eni ?

possible to tell m'hai revenue book? more than
twenty year? old are ?? ? ?>??? ?t.-.? to produce; for
they are classed with engravings, prints, charts,
etc., which have been In print more than twenty
years, scientific i""iks and some other publica?
tions. Bui this whole class is estimated lo yi- Id
a revenue, based <?? the Importation? In 1806, of
only aboul $1 '-"-'<??''. of which bo? Its presumably
would noi produce tbe major part. The pr ?
posed duty ?if L'?". pn? cent '>n books printed ex
cluslvely In a foreign Language Is expected to
bring considerably more than this Into the Tn ta
ury aboul $211,000. Bui assuredly both these
items together canno! be deemed of large i'"i
portane? as revenue producers, and there seems
tn be no sufficient reas,.? for transferring them
to the dutiable list Tue free list, where they
have long been, is where tbey oughl to remain,
and we hope the Senate will keep them there.
WBAT .JERSEY DEMOCRATS MI88ED.
Tbe big men of New-Jersey's Democracy bad

that tbe persons who arranged tbe programme

MIII.S .1X1) STEAMSHIPS.
Another Interesting object-lesson In transat
lantie commerce comes to hand. A British
I ('anadian company Is platinine, to establish ft
new lin?? of swift steamers, plying between Mil
ford Haven, in Wales, and Middle Milford. Nova
Sioiin. The distance between those ports If
niueh less than between Liverpool or Southamp?
ton and New-York, ami It is recfcOMd that ves
sels could Irarerse it In four and a liaif days,
perhaps less With swift railroad trains from
: ?? termini to London and New-York respeetlvo
1 ly, the time of transit between the two world
I capitula would thus be materially shortened.
| That faci alone might commend the new line
? to gem ral patronage, and secure it I fair urnas
j in?? of success, Bul upon fUCb patronage alone
Its projectors have no notion of depending.

th"y were afraid of accidents. They were told
that 1.1.?berth and two others hail been In con
Cerence srlth Governor Bradley and Mr. Deboe,
and had Anally declared thanaselvsg In line.
When the last train was in the Republican
leaders announced that all of the sevnty-one
Republicans wre on hand, that Deboe would be
absent, and that he waa sure to be elected by
seventy-one votes. It looked that way to the
nearly despairing Blackburn Democrat?? and to
the gold ??:?', ? ruts. Not only was gsCatSg here,
but State rhairman BobertS had come back ar.d

voted for Deboe. When the sixty-eighth vote
was t?a-s?eil th? Chair could not quell the wild
