and for the time Join the ranks Of the

nitted to them and to oppose which the
minority were sent 10 the Senate.
MR.. BLAINES REPLY.
In the great civil rights contest. when
Mr.. Blaine was Speaker OF the House, his
present TO make quorum those who
we're present and refused to answer 20
their names. His reply was "A majority
can do business" There was a very
large Republican majority: that majority
earnestly favored the Civil Rights bill.
There was q minority OF Democrats who
as earnestly opposed It. The Ropubli-
cans left their seats, remained at home
or elsewhere, and the majority side of
the question had no majority presens. SO,
by an arbitrary method, they sought to
make the minority help them to a quorum,
and thus pass the bill to which that MI
nority were opposed.
Such power ought never TO be conferred
on a presiding officer. II has been con-
ferred BY the House on its Speaker, and
A. has been charged that under that rule
members have been counted present who
were not even In the Capitol. Be that as
Il may, 1t is long step toward giving the
Chair control over the legislation Of the
hodv. To hold supreme control over leg
islation Is duty which the constit"-
tion has devolved upon the members, and
it is one which they cannot righttully sb-
authorize the Chair 10 count as present
those who do not answer 10 their names
when the roll is called Is intended to
prevent Senator from suggesting the
absence Of quorum and compelling the
roll TO be called. This feature OF obstruc-
tive tactics is only employed when the
minority axe trying to prevent a vote
and the majority are trying TO enforce II
by the sitting out process.
This as have shown will be cured by
the adoption OF the previous question,
which sweeps away all distractions and
brings the Senate to a direct vote.

ministration fully approved the claim for
indemnity and instructed Mr. Angel to
press II. This Is undoubtedly under
stood by the Turkish government and
In order to avoid for the present any
controversy with this government on the
subject ii delays the acceptance of the
new minister.
This Is neither friendly nor courteous
to tho United States, but under present
circumstances the Turkish government
probably feels that it is not of much i'm
portance whether il maintains cordial
relations with this government or not.
Satisfied with the prestige gained in the
war with Greece, 1t Is now chiefly con-
cerned in dealing with the European
powers and preparing to hold the terri
tory 1t has conquered. While engaged
in this highly important business, in
the result of which the future power
aud welfare of Turkey il involved, it is
easy to understand that the sultan cares
very little about the relations with the
United States, whose people he knows
to be heartily in sympathy with Greece
and with the prosecuted Christians of
his empire. Therefore it is not i'm
probable, as suggested from Washing
ton, that it may be long time before
the United States has minister at Con-
stantinople.
What will our government do in the
matter? Probably wait patiently until
the Turkish government says 1t is ready
to receive our minister. So far as the
indemnity is concerned, it is pretty safe
to say that it will never be paid, for the
simple reason that we cannot enforce
payment. All that is to be expected of
this matter is long and fruitless
diplomatic controversy.

Particular stress is laid by the commission
on the great injury to vast tracts of forests
by the nomadic herders who drive their
focks from valley to mountain and back
again each season, destroying every shrub
and Seeding tree. The shepherds also burn
over the herbage every fall to stimulate the
growth of grass in the ensuing spring. At
last forestry has gained footing in congress,

reached it are tagging behind the times.

OUR RELATIONS WITH TURKEY.

The Turkish government has not yet
signitied its willingness to accept Mr.,
Angel as United States minister to That
country and there seems to be some
uncertainty as to whether 1t will do so.
AS 1t is we have no accepted minister
10 Turkey, Mr.. Terrell having been prac-
tically displaced by the appointment and
confirmation of his successor.
1t is said to be the impression at
Washington that the delay may be an
other instance of the traditional diplo-
matte policy of the Turkish government
when confronted with problems the con
sideration of which it desires to put off.
The last administration made peremp-
tory demands upon Turkey for indem-
nifty for injury 10 the property of
American missionaries. Our minister
was instructed TO insist upon the pay
ment Of the indemnity, the amount
claimed being about 100000. His eff
