The principal power OF the Turkish popala-

of their own which. however, appears 10 beloag
to the great lndo European stock. They are
partly Greek Christians, partly Moslems, and.
according 70 all We know of them, as yet livery un-
prepared for civilization. Their predatory hab.
its will force any neighbOring government to hold
them in close military subsection, until indus
trial progress in the surrounding districts shall
find them employment as hewers of wood and
drawers of water, the same as has been the case
with the Gallegas in Spain, and the inhabitants
Of mountainous districts generally.
The Wallachians or Daco- Romans, the chiet
inhabitants Of the district between the Lower
Danube and the Dnester, are greatly mixed

in many respects not unlike the Italian. Those

The Greeks Of Turkey are mostly OF Slay-
onic descent but have adopted the modern Hell
lenic language in fact, with the exception Of q
few noble families of ConstantnOple and Trap
ezunt, il is now generally admitted that very
little pure Hellenic blood ia 10 be- found even In
Greece. The Greeks, along with the Jews, are
the prinspa traders in the seaports and many
inland towns They are also tillers OF the soil
in some districts. In all cases, neither their
numbers, compactness, nor spirit of nationality,
give them any political weight "a nation, ex-
