because Of the defitit In the pay and sus-
tenance of it's members; the whole civil
service is honey y-combed with corrup-
ton and rank with intrigue. and the sui
tan is a weak, vacillating man afflicted
with the enervating vices and extrava-
gances that seem inseparable from his
station. Out Of such conditions Justice
and the power to sustain justice cannot
be expected.
Turkey, though possessed Of the form
of sovereignty, is lacking in its essen
tial elements. She is neither capable
of resisting the invasion of any great
power. nor of maintaining order among
her own people, and the test of sover-
eighty, as long as physical force is
dominant factor in the worlds politics.
is the ability to do these things. Judged
by the criterion suggested, she is fit
subject for dismemberment. This, IN
fact she has long been. and such treat
ment would before now have been ac-
corded her but for the distrust in which
the great powers of the old world hold
each other. This distrust will very prob
ably continue to avail to prevent dis
memberment. She will remain, as for
century past, the buffer between Eng
land and Russia; exigencies of the bal
ance of power" theory, as applied to
the politics of Europe and the Orient,
will still demand that the integrity OF
the Turkish empire be preserved.
But, of course, something will have to
be done in the way of radical reforma-
ton of the Turkish government. The
sense of outraged humanity and the die
tates of selfishness both demand that
the great powers act with decisiveness
and thoroughness. Under the treaty of
Berlin, the instrument which won for
Lord Beaconsfield his laurels as diplo-
mat. the powers are bound to see that
the people of Armenia enjoy protection
In their persons and property, that
Turkey affords them government in
suring tranquility. This duty has been
too long neglected; the impotency or de-
ceit, or both, of Turkey has received too
much tolerance, and the sentiment of the
people of Europe and England appears
to have been aroused to an extent that
will compel speedy action by the govern
ments which are parties to the Berlin
treaty. And. as has been said, selfish
ference. The part that Turkey plays in
the preservation of the balance of power
needs, to sustain it, a strong and effi-
cient government at Constantinople.
The chances are that before many weeks
the Turks will know new ruler, in
structed to manage affairs of state
somewhat differently from his predeces-
sor.

TURBULENT TURKEY

Constantinople is again storm center
politically. The wrath of the better part
of Europe and of England is focusing
upon the abiding place of that thing of
mingled weakness, treachery and
cruelty, the Sublime Porte, and the in
dignation of the diplomatic representa-
tives of the interested powers is being ex-
hibited with an intensity strongly indi-
cative of something to happen. The re-
cent massacre of Armenians in the very
seat of Turkish government, almost
within the shadow of the sultan's palace,
apparently with the connivance or con-
sent ofjthe authorities, followe by the ac-
quittal of some of the murderers against
whom there was unimpeachable testi-
mony, threatens to prove the ultimate
straw on the back of the powers pa
tience. 1t is now many months since
the powers filed their protests against
the treatment accorded the Armenians
and their demands for reformation. In
response to these protests and demands
| the sultan's government was profuse in
| promises, but it seems to have been
purposely remiss in performance. In
| fact it's ability to break pledges is the
| one thing about it that exhibits no i'm
! pairment. The slaughtering and pill
| Laying of the Armenians has been kept
| up in a desultory manner, unaccom-
panied by adequate punishment of the
perpetrators of murder and rapine. Not
even the oratorical excoriations fulmi-
mated in the senate of the United States
| against the "unspeakable Turk" seem
| to have moved that creature to contri-
ton and reform. But this may be be-
cause of the failure of the belligerent
| solons to transmit to the sultan's realm
| a sufficient number of copies of the Con-
| gressional Record, containing their de-
| nunciatory and valorous utterances, to
go round.
The experience Of the past year has
demonstrated anew that the govern
! ment of Turkey is either unwilling OF
unable to repress the disorder when di.
rected against the Armenians. The lat
| ter are safe neither in their own province
nor in the place where the power of thu
state should be the strongest and mos
respected. the capital city. There is {
great deal to show that the government
is unwilling to protect the hapless peo
pie and to punish their prosecutors
there is also much to indicate that ever
if the government were willing, as nov
constituted and conditioned, it is un
able to do its duty in the face of any sub
stantial amount of popular prejudic,
and fanaticisln. The empire is mort
gagged by an immense bonded debt; tn
people feel the screws of taxation to tn,
point of dangerous resentment; tn
