The week opens with Russia actually master
of Turkey. The evacuation of the great
fortresses of Widdin, Rustchuk, Silistra and
Erzer1m, the withdrawal of the Turks
from the defensive lines Of Constan-
tinoplc, and the opening of the Black
Sea ports to commerce, proclaim the con-
quest of Turkey and the speedy return OF
permanent peace In view of the Overwhelm-
ing disaster which the foregoing incidents IN
dictate, there is good reason for the SUPPOSE
ton that Turkey will seek repoSe IN an ALI
ance with Russia. She has nothing more to
expect from the friendship of the Powers
who have witnessed so cOmplacently her over

The clamOr raised against the State super
intendent of Insurance for certifying the DIS
against insurance companies for examinations,
and allowing the same to he promptly PAID
is absurd The legal question is purely techni-
cal, involving merely a question OF rou-
tine. The law prescribing this routine beng
in conflict with the Constitution, the matter
came before Justice Land E, of the Supreme
Court who directly ordered the course which
the Superintendent has since pursued. Inc
same course was sanctioned III formal
letter by the Attorney General OF the
State The whole question was whether
the examiners should be paid from the IN
surance funds on the warrant OF the Con-
troller and the insurance companies shouiu
thercupon refund the moneys thus PAID
to the State, or whether the insurance com
pamcs should pay the money at once
tn the examiners on the certificate OF the Su-
perintendcnt of Insurance. without SEND
irc it circutously through the state
Treasury. The complaint against the sn-
perintendcnt would seem trivial III
any light, but after the formal letter OF the
Attorney General, and the express decision OF
the Supreme Court, the effort to make point
against him about il is a puerile bit OF polit-
ical malice.
