the Times upon the fantastic salaries
given to such high officials as Mukh-
tar Pasha, not to speak of the grand
vizier who received, respectively, four
times more than Lord Cromer and
twice as much as Lord Salisbury as
stipends. The military have invaded
the diplomatic corps, where all re-
ceive besides their regular salaries as
officers, the stipend of a minister or
of an ambassador. They have in many
cases taken the places of competent
men trained in the diplomatic service,
who themselves, in recognition of their
compliance in handing over their du-
ties to army officers quite unfit for
diplomatic posts, receive today salar-
les larger than when they were in ac-
tive service. Not only this, but, as is
| attested by the latest official annual,
there are forty-four marshals-that is
to say, eleven times more, according
| to this report, than there are in the
rest of the world. There are forty-six
| Fiziers, all with the rank Of marshal,
and there are eighty members of the
council of state, as many, that Is, as
in France and Germany put together.
And as the majority of these high
officials receive from the treasury dou-
BILE, and sometimes treble, the amount
of their salaries, the financial embar-
rassment of the empire Is but natural,
and one understands how it happens
that the diplomatic corps is left for a
third of the year unpaid-a fact un-
known, even during the Russo-Turk-
ish war.
| Such are some of the facts contained
| in this lOyal renOrt The conclusion is
the only logical one-to- wit, that no
commission in the world will be able
to remedy this situation--and it is well
known that the sultan has appointed
various commissions at different times
on the pretense of solving these diff
cultes; that no budget can be con-
coCted dealing with these abuses un-
less it be preceded by a wholesale

TURKISH FINANCES.
The Sultan Needs Money for a Pre-
cious Lot of Parasites.

From the LONDON llnleS.
That there is something rotten in the
state of Turkey has been too long a
commonplace to European observers,
but, as the readers of the Times will
have noted, more especially in the epi-
sode of the flight of Mahmud Pasha,
and the embarrassments of the Turk
ish ambassador at Berlin, the Otto
man officials themselves are becoming
alive to this condition of things. 1t is
no longer revolutionary band, a
party of the Young Turks, which is
manifesting an effective desire for res
form, and | am now able to furnish
the essential passages in a character
istic demonstration of this sort. Evil
IDENTIFY the feeling which had inspired
the following document is no longer
merely platonic, for it is the report Of
the consul general of the Ottoman em-
pire in Brussels, Emin Arslan Effendi,
to the sultan.
1t appears that last year this official
sent to Abdul Hamid detailed report
of the sufferings of the peasant popu-
lation in certain of the richest prov
inces of the empire, owing to the
heavy burden of taxation and the ar.
bitrary methods of the farmers of
revenue. He pointed out how the Mo-
hammedan peasants are chafing under
the present situation. and how being
unable to obtain the ear of his males
| ty they were cutting down their trees
| tearing up their vines, leaving theiI
lands uncultivated and even emigrat-
| ing in vast numbers beyond the seas
| America alone, he said, contained
more than 100000 Syrian emigrants, a
third of whom were Mohammedans
Never in the history of Islam has
such a thing occurred"
This official now goes on in his pres
ent report-somewhat ingeniously per
haps, considering the difficulty o.
bringing any document of the sort Il
the sultan's attention--to dwell upor
the dangers already alluded to b!

Such, sire, is the exact truth. The

who dares speak the truth to a sover-
eign; the traitor is he who conceals 1t.
He is doubly traitor who conceals It in
