A running Ere of provocative comments
IL kept up, end excited members shake
their fists at each other, and are contin-
ually dashing into what Ia called the
hemicycle, in order to vent their fury
against the occupant Of the tribune.
Perhaps no sitting of the late Assembly
was more perturbed than its last, when 1t
adopted the order of the day against the
new government.
The latest flower of parliamentary life
is, however, said to be the loveliest, and
experienced observers ask us to study
and appreciate the demeanor and con-
duct of the Ottoman Assembly. The
Turks are stated to take their parlia-
mentary pleasure in very serious and
satisfactory way. They do not sit, as it
was anticipated, cross-legged ON the
ground, but bolt upright on benches In q
state of grave discomfort. They have
desks provided for them which they do
not use. They make short speeches with
sufficient fuency and much esrnestness,
and above ell, they actually listen with
keen attention to what 10 said by succes-
sive speakers. There is no want of in
dependence about them; they attack
obnoxious Ministers freely, sometimes re-
fuse what IL demanded of them, and
bring to the notice of the Sultan and
the public thesgrievances which torment
them. All this IL very creditable to
them, but they are quite powerless. A
parliament which has no power, and
which can only state grievances, Is not
parliament at all. It Il only q rudi-
mentary body out of which parlia.
ment may one day, under new and favor
able circumstance, be formed. What the
Ottoman parliament would be like If lie
whole position were changed, and If it
could really influence the government of
the country, it is impossible to say. 1t
might break down under the novel task,
or IL might show unexpeeted oaUacitiea
