There is no arlstocracy in Turkey
The state is autocratic, not aristocratic.
All subjects, however humble their or
igln, are eligible to the highest offices
In the state. Slaves are the only le
gany subordinate class. Manumitted
slaves and persons of the 'lowliest orr
gin often attain the highest positions.
FOREIGN PROTECTION IN TUR-
KEY.
Under the capitulations foreigners re-
siding in Turkey are under the laws of
their respective countries and are
amenable for trial to a tribunal presid-
cd over by their consul. Foreigners
who own real property are amenable to
the Ottoman civil courts relative to
Vneir landed property. Cases between
Foreigners and Turkish subjects are
tried In the Ottoman courts n drago-
man. or interpreter, of the foreign con-
sulate being present to see that the law
is properly carried out. If the decision
be against the foreigner his consulate
executes the decision. Cases between
two foreign subjects of different nation
alities are tried In the consular court
OF the defendant.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.
Frequently reforms have been propos-
ed for Turkey and occasionally consti-
buttons have been drawn up for the adj
mlnistration Of the empire The latest
constitution was promulgated" nv the
present sultan in 1876, but q r0rstt-
tuition has never been put into execu
ton and under the present condition Of
the Ottoman empire 1t probably never
can Dc applied. Delays. postpone
ments, evasions. dupllclty, violated
trusts, generations of disheartenine cx-
perience by those who have hoped for
reform. all go to make us believe TINT
the only good Turkish government is
one that has become extinct. The best
service the sick man" can render the
world Is to give up the ghost.

the laws only because there is behind

1t wise or bencGcent legislation which

Reading the constitution of the State
in the light OF the decisions of eminent

cured by providing for its exercise by

This was an action for damages re-
ceived by the plaintiff at Harrisburg,
Cabarrusl county. The plaintiff was
driving in buggy drawn by Il mule,
and wasi intending to cross the de-
iendants road upon the public highway
which crossed defendants road ut that
point. The defendant was engaged at
that time in repairing it's roadbed at
the point where the public highway
crossed it, and in SO doing had dug Il
trench along its track and across the
public highway, and had thrown pile
OIL dirt from The ditch or excavation
into the public road ISut plaintiff al
leSes that this excavation was so made
and the dirt so thrown that he could
not see 1t until he got on defendants

fore he went upon it's road and had
plenty OF time to have crossed in safe

put there by defendant. which fright
ened his mule, and caused it to become
unmanageable; that he was in plain
view OF the approaching train, and was
seen, or could easily have been seen by
the engineman, after it was plainly APP
parent that his mule was unmanage-
able, in time for defendant to have
stopped its train; that, finding that de-
lendants train was not going to stop
r!ItpeiIitus stl Great speed, the
plaintin leapcd from his buggy, ana
was badly injured. Defendant admits
that 1t was at work repairing and NOV
ing its track and roadbed. which It saws
IL mad the right To do; and, although
there was small excavation across the
puolic road, and some dirt thrown up
IN the road, 1t might easily have been
seen by the plaintiff, and would have
been seen by him but for the fact that
he was running q race with defend
ants train to get across the track be-
tore the train reached the crossing:
that the train was in full view of plain
tin, and that it was his own fault and
negligence to undertake to cross the
track when he did: that defendant was
guilty OF no negligence, but plaintiff
was, and cannot recover damages FOR
his injury.
There was a judgment in the lower
court for the plaintiff for $1,000 dam
ages, and the defendant appealed.
The court says:
1t is not contended but what there
was evidence tending to prove the is
sues passed upon by the jury, and the
verdict and judgment must stand un-
less there was error committed by the
court. The defendant took more than
thirty exceptions to his honor's charge
but. in its brief. discusses only the
first and seventh exceptions. The first
issue is rs to whether the defendant
was guilty of negligence, and the SOW
enth Is as to whether the plaintiff was
guilty of contributory negligence From
the evidence in the case 1t Is too plain
for argument that neither of these ex-
ceptions can be sustained, and it seems
tifttt-t votrfd be an end OF the case
The judgment is affirmed.

her of consumption. After three

MATRIMoNY is CONTAGIOUS
Champaign Public School Teachers Seri-
ousIy AFFLICTED by the Malsdy.

Says the Champaign Gazette: The
Cham aign board of education has
troubles of its own, and in the partic-
ular instance now in mind the facts
are these:
1.-The board is under the necessity of
hiring more teachers; that is to say,
tie cheers to tai e the places of those
who have resigned or are about to re
sign. Matrimony is the trouble. Out
of eleven young ladies in the schools
on the east side five have been married
during this year and Of the whole
force of teachers in the graded schools
of the city 25 per cent have been mar
,ried within the year, or, in other
words. arrangements have been made
which will justify this remark before
the year closes. The grade teachers
are all young ladies. 1t is to be re-
marked that the gentlemen who have
carried them away have all got good
wives; it is also to be remarked that
some very good ones are left, though
the board would rather not have the
attention of marrisgeble young men
called to the fact. The Gazette, how
ever, is strictly loyal to the young
women. and is willing to let the board
paddle it's own canoe"
