The Case of Turkey.
victions.

The Joe Millers of our time chronicle the
achievements of far-sighted person who,
to prevent hydrophobia in dog by cutting
off piece of his tail, made the cut imme-
diately behind the dogs ears. This man
should, if he can be found, be put in charge
of tho reforms proposed for Turkey in Eu-
rope His plan applied to this subject might
secure the. desired object-and this is more
than can be said for any other plan; for the
trouble of the Christian subjects of the Sui
tan is primarily that they are his subjects,
and that the administrative methods pecu-
liar to the system of which he is the head
cannot be operated on the conceptions of
political science as understood in the
capitals of Europe, any more than
the grasshoppers can become bum
BILE bees by an understanding between
themselves and the wasps. 1t seems difficult
for the world to understand that there are
intellectual and moral impossibilities as
definitely as there are physical impossible
ties but scarcely any physical difficulty can
be conceived more absolutely insuperable
than that of getting the administrative
methods of European politics into the skulls
of the Asiatic horsemen who have been en-
camped on the Danube for four hundred
years, and are Asiatic horsemen still. The
only solution of this problem is that cut
.'close behind the ears" which would sepa-
rate the whole body of the Sultan's sub
jects in his European dominions from the
Sultan himself at Constantinople. 1t is
the excellence of Count Andrassy's project
of reform that the face is turned in the
direction of this policy. 1t proposes reforms
and recognizes that they might as well not
be proposed if their administration is to be
submitted to Turkish functionaries. 1t pro-
vides therefore, that these reforms shall be
under the supervision of the consular and
diplomatic representatives in Turkey of the
great Powers-that is, that the government
of the country, in so far as relates to points
touched by the scheme Of reform, shall be
taken out of the hands of the Moslem au-
thority This. therefore, is a step toward
the deposition of the Sultan from his SOW
ereignty. AS such it is q step.in the right
direction. and will lead to other and longer
stems on the same line.

Port Royal.

Apart from the question Of war with
Spain and its contiguity to the island of
Cuba, Port Royal.is the best naval station on
the Atlantic coast. Norfolk and New Lon
don are too far north for 2 feet constantly
compelled to do service in the tropics, and
Pensacola and Key West are frequently ex-
posed to epidemic and contagious diseases.
Port Royal, on the other hand, is admirably
situated as regards climate, and geograph-
ically it presents as many advantages as in
the evenness Of its temperature and its free
dom from disease 1t is not too far south to
leave the northern ports unprotected, even
in case of an emergency, and it is within
easy striking distance of Bermuda and the
West India Islands More than this it COM
mands the Gulf almost as well as Kew West

Mr.. Blaine's speech.

The scene in the House of Representatives
yesterday gives fair measure of its temper
on the Southern question, and the defeat of
Mr.. Randall's Amnesty bill on strict party
vote shows the extreme limits Of the demo-
cratic majority. Mr.. Blaines speech, as q
forensic effort, will probably earn different
opinion from that which will be bestowed on
it as a partisan utterance. The parlia-
mentary strategy by which he took the floor
on the democratic bill is proof of his superior
shrewdness, but the argument he used to
Justify the exception of Jefferson Davis from
the republican Amnesty bill was as weak as
the picture he painted was strong. If he
wanted to create in fact that Pigment Of &c
ton, which made the blood of sentimental
old maids curdle under the title of "A Man
Without Country, " we might see in his bill
touch of highly poetical justice, as it made
the ex-President of the Confederacy the sole
denationalized being left on the shores of
case. 1t is as the man responsible for the
horrors of Andersonville that jefferson Davis
is to be excepted from the republican am
nesty This has the flavor of the demagogue
pervading it. What the desolated fields and
homes of the South had not paid of the
debt to humanity at Andersonville was can
celled under the apple tree at Appomattox
Court House when the sword of Lee was
accepted by General Grant. 1t is too late
now to revenge acts done in the war, no
matter how inhuman, upon any one indi-
vidual, and hence the speech OF MIR. Blaine
reads to the unbiased like q flaming APP
peal to the bitter passions which moved
men when Americans we're divided into
''rebs" and Yankees" This question de-
mands other treatment II the republican
policy is to SOW dragons teeth instead of the
golden grain of Cancellation they may be
prepared to reap accordingly. We shall look
keenly to the continuance of the debate on
the republican side to see how far Mr. Blaine
represents it

Tn. Abuse of sudden wealth..

Surrogate Collins decision, given at White
Plains yesterday, removes the Singer will
case from the public view, and with it very
CHASTITY domestic story. The second wife's
claims have been negatived, and Isaac Nj.
Singers will stands as the monument OF
frightfully misshapen life, which will not
fail to be studied by the ethical historian
when he endeavors to concentrate in SEN
tence his scorn of the picture formed by
gross nature rioting in sudden wealth. Free
love is subject which we are loath to touch,
but those who plead for the severance at will
of the marriage tie will see how wretchedly
the unions and divorces of this man resulted.
1t seemed in his power to cast off and take
new wives as he wanted-he was wealthy
hide behind the lives he glded and
smirched We do not call attention to them
to serve prurient curiosity, but to warn
the age that its sins will bear bitter
fruit, though the rind be covered with
gold. The coarse selfshness which says
in its heydey of transgression What of the
world around me, what of tomorrow, my
sins are paid for in money? is vainly at
tempting to separate itself in one respect
from the society in which it is in all other
respects aching to shine. The nation is
learning better every day how to use its
wealth. 1t was natural, perhaps, that individ-
uals should erect their precipitate fortunes
into brazen exaggerations of their vices in
poverty. as the gold miners "luck" of day
often exemplifed only the word ''dissipa-
ton" on scale so headlong that it was bar
barously ludicrous. Singer drew his for
tune from a beneficent invention, and we
hope that those who pattern their lives in a
business sense on his will see that there are
loathsome dregs in the ferocity of self-indul-
gence that distorted his domestic career; that
they will come to the light of day at last to
darken and blight his memory as they en-
Uttered and embitter the lives of those
whom all laws say should be nearest and
dearest. Fat legacies will not cover these
dregs or rob them of their bane.

Tweed civil suits was made partially clear
by Judge Westbrook's decision, and the only
way out is a new selection. Mr.. Field may
be congratulated on his ability to trip the

deprive us of the felicity Of getting at the

hence the bringing of JOY to the world OF

regal splendor 1t may also indicate that the
