The Turk. Promises,

Russia has Withdrawn her Black sea
squadron from Turkish waters to Sc
bastopol, on the promise of the elusive
sultan to execute the murderers of Con-
sui Rostkowski and their accomplices, and
to punish those who spoke disrespectfully
of the consul, and to increase measures
to restore order. r
With Turkey promises are easy.
The insurrection in Macedonia is bloom
ing in a. more fiery way than ever on ac-
count of Russa's little excursion on the
Black sea between Burgos and the Bos-
porus, which inspired the Bulgarian and
Macedonian committees with greater zeal
to cripple the sultans bashi- The
sultan readily promised anything to gain
time. He will execute the Rostkowski
assassins, altho that will be distasteful to
his Mohammedan subjects, and will re-
sort to intense cruelties to crush the
Macedonian rebels so as to avoid intro
ducing any more gendarmerie from for
| eign nations to assist in the promised re-
| forms. The sultan detests this gendar-
merle business, which he regards as an
| unwarranted obtrusion upon his preserves.
In the eyes of the Turk all and any re-
form means limitation to the facilities for
plumber. European interference, however
timorus and hesitant, stimulates the rev.
lutionary disposition Of the portion of the
Balkan peoples who are yet under the
power Of the Turk, and, if Europe holds
! off and let's matters take their natural
course, the government Of Abdul Hamid
! will collapse, detested and despised even
by many Turks of the old school, who re-
sent the sultan's reticulated spy system
and organized secret police, both aimed
largely at them, they being suspected Of
promoting an intrigue like that which
brought about the assassination Of Abdul
Aziz In the imperial palace in 1876.
1 A Paris cable of Sunday states that the
late Lord Salisbury, within the persona
knowledge of the correspondent, favored
Il the deposition of Abdul Hamid as the
best solution of the Turkish question, bu
did not push it because Of the objection Of
Austria. This would have been a solu
ton if Europe had possessed the courage
to undertake it and accept the RESPONSE
biIities which would follow. The deposi
ton of Abdul-Hamid would be useless
if followed by a perpetuation Of the Otto
man sultans and their claimed caliphate
the latter being a dismal sham, as tn,
Emperor Of Morocco and the Grand Sheri
of Mecca are claimants, the latter claim
ing descent from Ali and thru Ais wifi
from the prophet himself. Including thes,
claimants to the caliphate, any perpetua
ton of Moslem rule in southeastern Flu
Irope, Asia Minor, Armenia and Syri;
would be an outrage upon the people Q
those regions, and Lord Salisbury himsel
would hardly have suggested such an out

SOCK SYMPOSIUM
Cincinnati Post,

:, In an endeavor to fix the status of the
sixteen-inch sock for women, ''All Sorts
has sent out a staff of interviewers for
opinions upon the new low cut fad. Here
are some results:
M. O. Skito-I am heartily in favor Of
the sock. 1t Is both comfortable and cool,
and, besides, is very convenient for a
quick lunch. ...'-
F. Lea-The sock does not affect our
line Of activity. We would get there just
the same. F.r5 = 49,
r. Ed Ant-The sock is the logical evo-
luton of the open-work stocking. The
tendency is toward going barefoot. How
ever, a mere bluff at wearing something
heightens the chic, effect of the costume.
All we fear is a reaction in the direction
Of rubber wading boots.
M. I. Crobe-Have no criticism to make
of the sock, unless it is that we are sub
jected to "a sudden change in diet when
ever the lady Of the house conlscates
papa's socks to wear on a shopping tour

served popularity. Let the good work

"Genuine" Republicans Scarce.

A Minnesota republican state senator
has been telling the New Workers that
Minnesota wants the duty lowered on
lumber, steel and other commodities. He
says the west ought to force the Issue
upon the attention Of the next national
republican convention.
"All that we can say about this state
SENATOR" says the New York Evening
Post, lis that he Is evidently an upstart
and DO real republican. Such talk as his
is absolutely dangerous. Nobody knows
what may come Of it. Does he want to
stab prosperity in the back?'
If talk like that Of the state senator Is
a sign Of not being genuine republicans,
the number Of the spurious articles to be
found in Minnesota Is so great that there
would hardly be enough real things left
to hold convention outside Of the ranks
of those professional politicians who al
ways take their views ready made from
those next above them In the political hi
erarchy, instead Of from the people who
something.
The senator's notion that the west ought
to force the tariff revision idea upon the
next national convention of the republican
party is good one but there is little rea-
son to believe that it will be acted upon.
Our western political leaders have very
generally subscribed to- the program OF
putting off all tariff revision until after
the elections of 1904. This Is generally
believed to be President Roosevelt's pro-
gram, but If so, it is only another proof
Of human imperfection and fallibility.
It is, however, freely admitted among
many earnest republicans in this state
that 1t is quite possible that there may be
some strange political "doings" In thi:
state next year if the party has to go int
another presidential campaign with moth
ing to say in favor of tariff revision. O.
course there is no more danger Of Mime
president, against Roosevelt, than there
Is that Texas will vote for him, but som,
of the republican candidates for congress
may have an unusually hard time of i
for presidential year, especially if W.
should get a dose Of hard times befor
election. ...
1t Is thoro understanding Of the situa
ton and the temper of the people tina
causes so many prominent northwestern
republicans to be so eager for the earl
beginning of negotiations looking to reel
procity with Canada.

vEsPER

A late lark twitters from the quiet skies,
And from the west,
Where the sun, his days work ended,
fingers as in content,
There falls on the old, gray city
An influence luminous and serene,
A shining peace.
The smoke ascends
In a rosy and-golden haze. The spires
Shine, and are charged. Inathe valley
Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The
sun,
Closing his benediction,
Sinks and the darkening air
Thrills with sense Of the, triumphing
night
Night, with her train of stars
And her great gift of sleep.
So be my passing!
My task accomplished and the long day
done,
My wages taken, and in my heart
Some late lark singing,
Let me be gathered in the quiet west,
The shutdown splendid and serene,
Death.

Our International Copyright Laws

An excellent authority on our copyright
laws, Mr.. Samuel J. Elder, contributes
some interesting remarks upon the code,
as it stands, to the Library World, which
suggest, as some remarks of Librarian
Putnam did, on the same subject few
years ago, that the United States copy
right law needs revision and simplfca-
ton.
The law demands the strictest compli-
right, If 1t did not go to the extreme Of
exaction as to minute details, not a few
Of which are unnecessary, but the mis-
sion of which brings forfeiture of copy
right. The author must deliver the title
of his work on or before the day of pub
lication, at the office Of the librarian of
congress at Washington, or it must be de-
posted in the mall addressed to the

than the day Of publication. These two
copies must be printed from type set in
the United States or from plates made

man are having close fight for the Ohio
democratic nomination for the governor
ship. This is no republican fight, but II
the democrats of Ohio want to make the
people of the country believe that they
stand for something distinctive in politics
they will vote for Johnson. We all know
that Johnson is Imam Of ideas with a

the democratic party is ever again to be a

HENLEY,s MARCH IN THE NIGHT.

The late w. T.. Henley while waiting to
be put on the operating table of hospital
under the surgeons knife, had the nerve
to write this analysis of his own mind
an inspiration Of the freezing shadow Of
death:
Out of the night that covers me,
BLACK as the pit from pole to pole,
thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not WINGED or cried aloud: "a
Unfer the bludgeontngs of chance
MY head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
1t matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain Of my soul.
This audacious facing Of the night
whose darkness might be felt by the soul
Of the strong; this cool contemplation OF
that eyeless socket. which the German
skeptic beheld at the, verge Of the uni
verse, hooking those who came to 1t with
a grain of hope; this deliberate poising for
a leap in the utterly dark and unknown,
untried, is terrible in Its earnestness OF
resignation and Indifference; in its de-
faint assertion that whatever may be I'M
der that darkness,
am the master Of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul
It is the loneliness of the strong mans
soul as it goes out into the night which
Expresses.

pounds. That is only a drop in the
bucket, when all the output is considered
Fortunately one is not obliged to read all
that is published, either by the volume or
