The Government Of Turkey.

Chicago Times.l
In Turkey there was, even before the
adoption of the new organic law of the
empire, a Constitution, but it was the
Koran, All laws Of the empire must be
in accordance with the precepts Of that
book, and herein we see the secret of the
failure Of all attempts at constitutional
reform which have been promised and
made. In Whatever respect the new Con-
stitution is hostile to the Koran, it at
once becomes a dead letter. In this lies,
also, the secret CT Turkeys rapid deca.
dence slice her power threatened the
Christian world. A written Constitution
especially if a religious one) which can.
not change 10 meet changing conditions
and increase of knowledge, necessarily
becomes an over-tightening moose about
the neck of the people, slowly ~strangling
the life out Of them
The will of the sultan is absolute in so
far as it does not contravene the princi
plies of the Koran, aud those Of the
"Multeka"-an additional code made up
Of supposed sayings of Mohammed, Next

head Of the civil government, and the
sheik.ul-Islam, head of the church, The
former is appointed by the sultan, and
subject to him, The latter is also APP
pointed by the sultan, but subject to the
approval Of the "Ulema,' a body com
posed Of the church dignitaries. The
aheib.ul-Islam presides over the Ulema,
but has neither priestly nor Judicial func.
tons. But in the Mutt" a subdivision
Of the Ulema, the sultan finds, in many
respects, his superior. They are the
court which decides whether his acts and
his laws are in accordance with the Ko.
ram. He cannot declare war or conclude
peace until be has asked the Multi
whether it is Comfortable to the law
the inviolable, Interchangeable law Of the
Koran. So, too, rebellions against the
sultan and his disposition and murder
become legal acts when approved by the
Mutt.
The civic government-that under the
grand yizier- is divided into three classes.
