TFRKEY TO THE FORF.
The terms of peace which Turkey is reported
to have proposed may or may not he adopted.
There is no use in speculating upe? thg possi?
ble decision of the great Powers. They seem
to l>e eapahle of anything. But tho mere pro?
M sal serves two purposes. It shows the ?pint
of Germany and Russia toward Greece, for, of
course, the Turkish plan was fully considered
and approve?! ?it Berlin and St. Petersburg he
fore it was tentai ?y* ly broached at Vienna; and
it shows what a Frankenslein the great Powers
1 ave created by Iheir subservience to Turkey,
rnd how vastly they have Increased the diffi?
culties of the problem which, sooner or later,
they themselves must solve.
The spoliation of Greece is wlmt Is propose!.
That plucky little kingdom is to he robbed Of
territory, of ???????,?. of bet navy and of treaty
r.gins. To the victor belongs the spoils is Turk?
ish as well ns Democratic doctrine. That Una
sia approves sin h work is entirely credible;
bist. liecai.M? she hat.s Greece anyway. OB
general piinclplee; and second, because sh??? lias
g mortsaee on Turkey and then fore will one
?lay have for her own ill that Turkey now a<?
. quires. That Germany also ftp]roves it is ? ?t
t" be doubted: partly because the German Em?
peror is Irreconcilably angry With his sisier ou
account of her marriage with the Greek Crown
Prince and partly because that m??narcli wishes
to uphold the Pivine Ilight of King-., as ex?
emplified-in th.? Snhan. against the Greek con?
tention of the tight Of people to choose their
cwn rulers. Rftgftlft has declared her B?irHliBf?
i.ess to create ?p?<>?,,??. Bttlgftlift in Armenia; but
she has no objections to making another Po?
land in Gre???.?. And Germany is quite wllliii''
to dot the map of Kurope with Schleswig II >1
steins and llainivers and Als.c,?-Li.rrnin? ft,
What Is most interesting t<( tlie other great
Powers if there bi any- is this, that from being
? moribund weakling, ixisiing only on suffer?
ance. Turkey has, through their own coddling,
grown to the status of a mighty gladiator, de?
fying if n??t m? lineiiig Europe. Hitherto tha
rule has been for Turkish territory to he grad?
ually diminished. Now, for the llrst time in ft
century, it bids fair to b? Increased. Turkey
has 1?. ? oioo | growing [Miwer. lient on fresh eon?
quests. She casts off the tutelage of the
Powers. She will look after her own affairs.
And she has on l'.ur<?poati s??il nearly half a
million of Ihe linest light bag men in the world.
What wender tht Sheik til-Islam talks of pro?
claiming a holy war! Islam has ?rushed otM
Christian nation; why should It not go on again
conquering, and to conquer, us m the days of
Amurath and Solyman? Of ft truth, the gota?
t,on Of the Kasteln question will Is? a hundred?
fold more difficult because of th?. victories of
Kdhein Pacha.
.Meantime, what Is Greece to do? She has
Dot even the privilege of replying diplomatically
to the Turkish demand. She hi commanded, lin?
di r penalty of l?elng left to her fate, to abrogate
h??r sovereignty, and place her Interests unre?
servedly In the handH of the Powers. Probably
she will do so, that Is, will have to do so. Hut
in SO doing, what Is She to expect? She put
herself in the hands of the Powers in 1SX1, and
they repudiated their own convention and
-ohtK'd her of half the territory they had sol
??LUi.ly awarded P> h.r. She put herself In the
'tands of the Powers last year, In respect to
Crete, and they broke their pledges and b??
.'..y?d her cause. Alid a ?ninth ngo the Pow?rs
solemuly declared that the aggressor in this
fttftf should not Ik? allowed to gain the slightest
advantage from it; aud now two of tnera are
backing the aggressor, Turkey, in her demand
for all the spoils of a victor. It Is a dreary out
look. Byron onoo warned the Greeks that
Turkish force and Latin fraud
AVould break your shield, however broad.

TRE ASSAI LT OX THE NEW FOREST
REEEBTATION.
The netion of the S??nntc In adding nn aniond
menf to the Sundry Civil hill which practically
revokes tlie Forest Ilesino proclamation of
February 22 is unfortunate. It Is admitted hy j
.ill Intelligent men that Hie waste of our forests '
hy pillage, lire and reckless cutting lias passed
tlie safety limit already, and unless arrested j
it will bring upon the ?Oiintry irremediable loss j
and disaster. The fact Is so well known tlint
??very one applauded the art inn of Hie last Ad?
ministration in calling upon tlie authorized sci?
entific advisers of tin? Covernmont to study the
question and report some measures of relief. !
Thirteen reservations were established under llie '
counsel of these expert? as an essential step at j
the outset. It would have be? ? an orderly pro?
cedure, if ilio Senate disapproved or even had
doubts about this action, to call for tlie report
from the Committee of the National Academy of
Sciences, nnd n? t only when in full possession
of Ihe facts.
To read the argument of Senators who advo?
cate lliis backward step one would think that
Ihe individml Stales had full ownership of the \
public lands within their borders, nnd that
neither ihe general Covernmen* nor the people ?
of the Fniti'd States had r.ny title to or interest j
in Ihe National domain, One would also infer j
that settlers, prospectors and miners were gen- I
orally and grav ?ly injure!. As a matter of taci
no right or privilege that any of them has legali*
enjoyf-d Is threatened. There is no prohibition
on mining, as has been asserted, and the <'om
mlssion explained in their letter to tlie Secretary
of the Interior what pains had been taken to
secure for actual settlers every facility to prose?
cute their legitimate business, whether in mining,
agriculture or lumbering. It Is possible that
many mining dividends might be eurtail??il. but
it could only happen whe-e the miners have been
cutting league after league of timber that does
not belong to them, and does belong to tin* peo?
ple of the I'nited States. To real settlers and
to American citizens at large, whether within
or without the boundaries of these reservations,
the preservation of the fores* s is a beneficent
act.
There Is no need to repeat here the sickening
j story of the spoliation of the Nation's timber
I land?. It can be real In the report of every
1 Secretary of tin* Interior nnd every Cotnmis
I sioner of Publ'c Lands during the last ten Ad*
j ministrations, it is time to begin to save tlie
! resources we have been (squandering. We be
! lieve the people of the ?-oiintry ivally want their
1 diminishing timber reserves protected; and nre
i sui"* that tlie teachings of science and the ex?
perii nee of oilier countries demonstrate this to
be their true Interest. It is p'meeroly to be Imped
j that the House of Representatives may stand by
' them ?? such a matter, nnd at least insist upon
I a delay until the Academy of Sciences can be
heard nnd all the facts can be fully weighed.
CRIC AGO WILL NOT RE PLICATED.
If that able and enterprising exponent of the
j feelings and emotion? of the city of Chicago and
' the State of Illinois, "The Chicago Tribune," ir?
'. to be believed- and Heaven forefend that ere
! ??liould adii fuel to the flam? of its righteous In?
I di limit ?on by Insinuating attght agallisi ils
? veracity! -the citizens of that proud metropolis
nnd glorious State are still angry?indeed arc
growing angrier every day?over the treat men !
' which the Covernor of Illinois and hi* sniff of
? thirty glittering colonels received In this city
i during the ceremonies attending the dedication
of the (?rant monument. G??? the firs* demo??
| stration of dissatisfaction this journal took oc?
casion, in ihe spirit of kindness and goodwill,
to explain that the failure to give the Covernor
nnd his staff of thirty glittering colonels the
right of the line, which was the chief ?aus??- ?if
complaint, was because of the general under?
standing outside of Illinois that the c?r?monie.?
were in honor of the memory of Cenerai ?'rant
himself, nnd not I tribute to *he State of Illinois
for giving him to the country. We took pains at
I the same time to say that the mistake of the Cov
ernor nnd his thirty glittering colonels on this
! point?which, considering their laudable local
1 pride, was not unnatural was greatly regretted
? by everybody, but that there wai really no in?
tention to trample on Hie pride of the city of
? Chicago nnd State of Illinois or hurt the feel?
ings of any of Its eminent representatives on
Ibis augusti occasion. The resrre? ?vas sincere,
and we supposed ihe npology ?vas ample.
Bui now "The Chicago Tribune," returning
to the attack which it first made and then with
drew upon taller information, accuses us of
seeking "to belittle the episode by resorting to
painfully forced sarcasm," and says this jour?
nal's "pleasantries render it nn object of pity
"when it Is so clear that they should have been
"replaced by an ampli apology." It unfortu?
nately appears, ihougli. from tbe remarks which
follow, that, no matt t how ample the apology
might have been, it would not bave been accept?
ed nor could anything aplicase the anger of our
esteemed Chicago contemporary or of its proud
nnd high-spirited constituency, The Imprea*
Slon-j>r conviction, rather thai tbe ?'iitire dem?
onstration ?m Grant Day was but the culmina?
tion Of a series of Indigniti??? to the State of
min?la, beginning with tha Interment of Cenerai
Cran? in this elty instead of Chicago <>r Wash?
ington, is tOO deep t?? be effaced, while the in?
dignities themselves have been loo gross and
outrageous and too long and persistently con?
tinued to make explanation plausible or repara?
tion possible. "The whole affair," says nur con?
tempor?r.'?, "was not an oversight," fot "the
"truth is New-York was so bent on its own self
"glorifiiation and was so list to the ordinary
"nnieriiiicr. of civilization thai It became even
"more boorish than is Its usual custom. It tore
"off the mask of refin?'ii.ent nnd let iis greed
"run riot, it trampled ruthlessly on tin* require
"nu'iits of good taste nnd ihe obligations of a
"host." BUI it eons lies Itself with the reflec?
tion that the mark was overshot, for "the |a>JQ
"elation of Illinois with Grani is Implanted deep
"ly in history, and no insult to Illinois on Cram
"Day can fail to redound to the enduring dis
"creili! of the persons? who dare indict it."
AH this Is extremely painful. The mere so
bei-ause it grows out of such an entire mlsap
pn-hension of the purpose of the demonstration.
! It Is a ?ell known fact, ?ve believe, that Chicago
. peopl? have peculiar notions about the aineiii
: ties of funerals and the order of UtOCtatOCt in
! the proc<?ssion, so that It Nometinms happen? In
Hie compel ii ion of muirnors for the righi of tht
line that the proe??sslon moves to the cemetery
nt a very enrnest trot and brings up at the grave
lu some confusion on a dead run. It was in
that town that a flees* mourner, when nqneeted
by the llv??ry-stable keeper of whom he hired ?
team to drive at a moderate gait, replied, with
becoming spirit, that he should "keep up with
tho corpse If It l(lll??d the darned horse."' it ?s
a very consoling reminiscence of the late funeral
solemnity that the ?Jovenior of Illinois and his
staff of thirty glittering colonels conformed to
ihe customs ?p-valling In Eastern ??ilhs. and
?lid not in pursuance of their homi habits break
I Into a canter and gallop lo the light of the line.
t which th???' believed to be their proper place.
t That would have deranged the older of march
and marred ihe phasuic of spectators, W?? eau
not be too thankful that they practised unusual
nclf-denlal nnd refrained from any but oral
manifestations of resentment.
It is by no means certain, however, that tho
matter will be alloweil to drop without physical
demonstrations. Certain intimations which our
esteemed Chicago contemporary l?>ts fall In Its
latest utterance on the subject furnish ground
for the gravest apprehensions. After dwelling
at consideri ble length upon the "sordid oonsld
?rations" which "have controlled ihe dnnjnel
"lion of th?? remains of this n.?l?l?? oharaot?r
"whom Illinois dedicated and consecrat??<l to the
"I'nion." as. for instance, that the location of
the tomb "was chosen to add value .to stag
nnnt property," and "?Is at trad ions for the
"masses were counted on to add revenue to the
"lili of ?i nearby madhouse." our contemporary
says: "The tomb in New York should be an
empty tomb," and "Grtnt should be brought
"home from New-York after his long and pain
"ful exile to a tomb at the Capital of the Nailon,
"just as Napoleon was brought home from St.
"Helena to the Pantheon at Paris." The sug?
gestiv, ?iiess of Ihlfl Is apparent. Knotigh has
been brought out in the course of this contro?
versy to make it clear that the Governor of II
linois and his siaff of thirty glittering colonels
are desperate men, representing an ranged coe?
slituonoy. What mor?? likely Iban that, moved
by the stirring appeals of "The ( 'hi.?ago Trib?
une." they shouii' descend npon ihis ??ty in full
uniform and empty the tomb of Ite illustrious
tenant. In spite of the National Guard and under
tho very eyes of the police'? This may happen
any day if our esteemed Chicago contemporary
continues to stir up their emotion.*.
It is only propir to sny that we reject abso?
lutely the theory thai tbe excitement In Chicago
has some connection with recent legislation by
Which ths new New-York is constituted the sec?
ond city in the world. A little thing like that
would not arouse jealousy <?r proTOke unfriendly'
language on the part of the Western metropolis,
w?' are sun.
.1 Low TEICK.
One rase of police activity In enforcing the
excise law on Suml-iy Which had ? hearing in
; court yesterday morning deserves the alten
, Hon of the Poll.?.? Hoard. Th ? officer, who was
doubtless anxious to mike a record for vigi
lance, obtained entrance to the private rooma
' connected with a saloon and gol as far as the
i owner's kitchen, where the wife was cooking
I dinner. r.arnostly representing thai he wanted
I a glass of whiskey at once for a woman who
Mas siik. he finally Induced the couple to let
I
! him have it, as ? gift, whereupon he laid ?
j quarter of a dollar on the table and t??i?l them
j that tbey were under arrest. They were
promptly discharged in ihe morning by .Magis
? nate .Mott, and the policeman was rebuked foe
Ins conduct.
This is by no means the first performance ??f
the sort, and is perhaps no wors? than some
others have been, but it is quite bad enough.
An officer of the law who thus deliberately in?
cites to law-breaking may noi be guilty <>f an
offence for which (be courts ran punish him.
but his act Is outrageous and contemptible nn<l
well deeerring of explicit condemnation l?y his
1 superiors. The Police Commissioners are flnd
, ing it very hard to agre;? to transad ihe regu
i lar business of their Department, bol it seems
i as if they might consent to unite in repudiai ing
j Indecent exploit:-?? of ihis description. The puh
I He welfare ,i<.es n<?t requin a retort to any
, such low tricks, Tbey ar?? utterly repugna,il
: io Justice and offensive to every fair-minded
j citizen. They ought to be discarded forthwith
? rn<l forever.
POINTS ?X ROAD-BUILDING.
How to do a thing may not always be easy
to learn. How not to do some things may most
easily be harped by any one who has ordinary
gifts of observation. The making of public
roads, for example. Tbe ?rts of Telford and
Macadam may remain sealed volumes to the
multitude. Bui on limoni every mile of coun?
try and suburb;:!! road are written in characters
all men may rend the most impressive instruc?
tions now not tO make a thoroughfare If one
should go about and see till that Is done, and
then go away and carefnlly avoid repeating it,
and do anything else his ingenuity may devise,
his efforts would inevitably he in Ihe direction
of Improvement.
Here, f.r example, !s an important suburban
village, enjoying every advantage of soil and
climate and general situation, and suffering from
probably the worst roads In the cotiniy. Its
roads are too narrow, scarcely more than mere
lanes. Yet tbey ar?? racroacbed upon by every
manner of device until in many places tbey are
no wider than g single wagon track, Tbey are
composed, of course, of nothing belter than
native earth, but also of much that is worse.
For tbey are inaile ihe catch-all of every BOTI of
rubbish. On the main street of the village, in
fmnt of handsome residences, yon may find the
roadway covered ?with the refuse raklngs of
gardens, the pruning* of orchards and rlneyarda,
eastoff boots and shoes, broken ?bottles and empty
tin cans, and ?heaving offal thai till?? the air with
stenches unspeakable. In s? nie places, for eery
shame, g sprinkling of fresh ? art h lias been scat?
tered over these abominations. But every rain
converts it Into mud, through which the offal
and the rubbish are mixed and mingled, like
plums In a batter pudding. Such ?s the roadway
which hundreds must traeerse daily.
And the villagers speak now and then with
hated breath of the dirty streets ami evil smells
and bad air of tbe city, when, by their own <le
llberate making, ibelr own chief thoroughfare
is foul as an nnflUSbed sewer: .\ road of simple
earth, nnworked and nncared for. is bad enough.
Pur when it is, by tbe maladroit ingenuity of
slovenly and selfish men. made glso g rubbish
heap and repository for filth, it affords sn ??>
Ject-lessoa of what should noi be which ihe
world can scarcely elsewhere equal,
