They start from the solid f%.4daiioc Pure BtOOdL Why the Greeks arc Demoralized The present demoralized condition of affairs in Greece is not due to any lack of courage on the part of native Greeks, but largely, if not solely, to the interference of foreign powers who will not permit Gree.ce to rule, herself. Under these circumstances: it is not sat prising that reverses should have overtaken the Greek' cause in Thessalv, and that revolu tionary fires should have broken out in the eighborhood o’ Athens Though K;o-‘George has occupied the Greek throne for something over thirty years he has never been in full touch and sympathy with the people nor enjoyed the confidence to any marked degree. This is beeausc of j his close and intimate relations with the European (lowers, especially Rus sia, and except for the influence of these powers some other sovereign might, today be rilling in his stead. Being himself the son of Christian IX of Denmark, King George is related to the Britbish government through the marriage of his sister, Alexandria, the prince of Wales, and also to the Russian government through the mar riage of his sister, Dugina the present empress dowager, to Alexander 11, father of the present czar, Nich olas 11, But the king’s relationship to the royal family of Russia is not re- stricted to his sister’s marriage with the former cor. On October 27,1307 King George himself led to the alter a member of the royal family, Princess Olga, daughter of Grand Duke Con stantine, and niece of Alexander 11. In a double sense, therefore, the king tof Greece is related to the I>ussian government,, and as Greece lia“ little j fondness for Russia, it is perfectly 1 natural that King George should en j counter; in some measure at least, the distrust of his subjects. Being united by such close tics to the various Eu ropean powers, he lias nothing in j common with the Greeks and very ! little claim upon their allegiance. In the veins of Ins children there is not a single drop of Greek blood, the mixture being half Danish and half Russian. This fact should not be overlooked in accounting lor the re cent defeat of the Greek troops under Prince Constantine. It is charged that neither King George nor his sons feels the least interest in the present campaign apait from its effect, upon themselves individually,'and in spile of the dramatic part which they have taken in recent events the peo- j pie are by no means blind to what: they believe to be their insincerity. This explains fully the recent up rhin" in Athens and also throws light ® ‘ j upon the action of the king in dismis sing lus premier a few'days ago and I permitting the people to name his successor. But, in this connection, it may be asked how does it happen that a for eigner occupies the Greek throne ? Since ;c)i’••■■ ing iher half-waav auton omy nr Greeks havo submitted to the guardianship of the poweis, chief ly Russia, France and England. Tins is is because of the fact that on July t>, 1027, these three powers entered into a compact agreeing to settle all difficulties between the Greeks and Turks, and to stand surety for the yovng kingdom. By virtue of this intenvenlioM the powers claimed the right to choose a king for Greece, and accordingly, selected Prince Otho, however, the affairs of the kingdom did not progress satisfactorily, and a turbulent spirit broke out among the Greeks which eventually resulted 111 the king’s dethronemhnt. In 1863 I when King Gorge, then a mere stripling, came 10 the throne, it was over the protest of the Greeks, who preferred a member of the British royal faily. The powers, however refused to ratify this choice, believing that the king should come from one of the smaller kingdoms and .lot from one of the leading powers. Accord ingly, Prince George of Denmark was selected for the office, and duly en tered upon the discharge of its duties The office is one which pays him handsomely, 'foreign powers paying $60,000 annually toward the salary, and, from a monetary view, the king can hardly be* censured for holding on to what pays so ell. f the new ministry which Premier Ralli is now organizing succeeds in quieting the discontent of people, all may yet be well with the king, but unless order is speedily res and there is no telling what the res It will be Much depends upon the and clop ueut of the next few days, a..<l wU.iu..t an ticipating the future, it is best to quietly await these developments. Why Aclam Never Was a Baby. A Sunday school superintendent! r.t the close of an address on the cre ation. which he was sure lie had kept within the comprehension of the least intelligent of the scholars, smilingly asked foj questions.
