The ALIEN M0SLEM OF EUROPE.

There is no empire in the world containing so
many races hostile to its conquerors as the one
governed by the sultan of Turkey. Ancient his
tory presents no parallel even in the conouests of
Alexander, Julius Caesar and Hannibal The ter
rory won by these conquerors spread over the then
known world and embraced a greater diversity of
races, but it slipped from their grasp almost as
as their legons left it. In the lifetime of
ancient nations, the reward of conquest was brief
Not SO with the Turk, who has maintained his
position in Europe in spite of the Crusaders, in
spite of religious hostility, in spite of civilization
Boys of forty years ago remember when the dues-
ton of debate in the schoolhouse was "Resoved
that the Turk should be driven from Europe" The
conditions of the nations under Turkish sway were
no more aggravating then than they are today. But
the Turk still rules with an iron hand in Europe
and with the exception of that territory released
through war with Russia, he exercises authority
over country once the habtation of ancient civil
lzation ancient culture and dauntless heroism
This is the sad side of the picture presented to
the scholar who INDUCES his fancy for ancient his
tory, sadder than any contained in the dispatches
recounting the butcheries of the Turkish soldiers
and the brutal reprisas of the Macedonians upon
their Moslem foe. Macedoniansl The name is the
same but how changed the people! No more like
the descendants of ancient Greece than are the
Mexican poems to the proud Aztecs. Changed in
habit and tongue, everything to make them worse
than pagan, nothing to make them better except re-
lgion and even that has not accomplished wonders.
At this hour feet of Russian war vessels is on
its way to make demonstration before Constanti-
nople and exact satisfaction for the murder of
Russian consul. Macedonia is up in arms and Bull
garians crossing the frontier to aid the insur
rection. 1t needs wise and careful statecraft to
keep the Turk in his place, so that other nations
may not divide his territory. 1t is the fear of some
nation getting the lions share that keeps the others
on good terms with the Turk; and nobody under
stands this better than the sultan of Turkey.

AUTHORITY IN RELIGION.

The New York Sun reports Rev. L. Mason
Clarke, at a union service of the Brooklyn Heights
churches held in the First Presbyterian church, as
saying:
THE eyes of great portion of the world are fixed
Rome, where the successor of Leo is now assum-
ing his great office AS fellow Christians though we
worship according to another ritual; as members of
the Holy Catholic Church of God we pray that this
pontf may be worthy successor to the sanity and
stately ceremonies customs as this service TODAY
bring TO us the question of authority in religion"
a very important question as far as religion
is concerned. In religious truths, authority is as
essential in state affairs Since the Reformation
the great battle fought has been against the au-
thority claimed by the successor of St Peter in
matters of faith and morals All who have pro-
tested against the authority of the supreme pom
tiff have, unconsciously it may be, claimed for
themselves all the authority and infalibility that
Catholics claim for the pope. In protesting
against his authority in matters of faith and fol-
lowing their private judgment, they assume
for themselves what they deny to the pope and set
themselves up as supreme pontiffs.
All doctrinal disputes when simmered down and
reduced to their last analysis depend for their So
luton Oh some authority to give the final decision
Those who refuse to accept the authority of the
Catholic church, or the pope, accept that of some
weak errlng man, who speaks only in his own
name, yet assuming for himself divine authority.
against which he SO vigorously protests Nor will

My heart was lonely amid the gay,
No soul brought gift to mine
And heard voice to my unrest say:
"Kneel thou at purer shrine
A heavenly spirit foated by,
And brushed me with his wing;
felt the touch, and looked on high
But saw no living thing.
Yet sometimes fragment of heavenly song
Would my restless heart subdue;
And on strange, sweet chords would vibrate long
Till thought into music grew
Years passed. and life brought it's many
Forgot was the heavenly song.
| hnet no more by the altar stairs,
But jostled amid the throng.
Till my brain grew numb with weary pain;
And the stars of heaven were dim,
Then sighed-"Oh! to waken those chords again,
And recall that grand sweet hymn.'
I'm vain; it was only dream of YOUTH
The romance of life is oer'
Said one who assumed the garb of Truth
Take what Island dream no more"
But once. when ] knelt at the Masters feet.
With my heart-strings out of tune;
They thrilled to strain of music, sweet
AS OF leaves in the month Of June.
II ueepeneu ana SWeled;-aEd the notes grew clear
And the song took loftier STRAIN
Twas heart that spoke and l needs must hear
had found the lost chords again
They were fastened above. by the hand of Love;
And an angel swept the Tyre!
And one that winged like snow-white dove,
Leant reckoning me up higher
The sky was alight; and the stars were bright;
And the cloud had left the heaven
To Him who giveth songs in the night"

The Fisherman's Ring, which is often
mentioned, is, says ain English paper, ornament
of much historic interest but of little intrinsic
value. 1t consists of stone set in gold, on which
St Peter in boat, drawing in his net, is cut, with
the name of the then actual pope engraved on the
gold The stone is reset every time the chair of St
Peter has new occupant. The precious ring has
only been lost twice in the 600 years that it has
been in use-once during the reign of Sixtus V.
and once during the old age of Leo Kill, but it
was both times recovered.

The Colombian senate has rejected the Panama
canal treaty, and for the present Uncle Sam is up
in the air. The main reason the senate gives for
its action, e. finding constitutional permission
to cede territory to foreign power might be taken
seriously if any South American country cared
straw for its constitution. The real reason is
found in the hostility of American railroads to any
scheme to cheaper transportation by water route.

The Irish land bill has passed the British house
of lords with amendments that may be modified IN

some time ago, the bill is calculated to create a
paternalism rather than independent Irish peas

landlordism that the Irishman may exclaim:

Police Judge Tracy of St Louis apparently is
one of the many who have a kick coming against
motormen of street cars. He ordered the discharge
of an enraged citizen who forced one of them TO
stop his car at the point of revolver, saying as
he did so: ANY street car motorman brought be-
fore me on substanhated charge of passing pas
sengers on the street corner will be fined the limit

of that medicine would be good for Salt Lake.

HITS CLUBWOMEN A HARD RAP
Denver Ulster Declare. They Arc
hleItOmaniacs and Are
:Faulty in Morals.

Mrs Sophia Lovejoy Dickinson,
chairman of the local science depart
ment of the Denver Women's club,
threw bOmbshell into club circles the
other day in signed statement, Of
which tha following extracts are the
most sensational:
GAS class club women are con-
servative. They closely follow race
inheritance. What they feel is expect
ed of them they do. The world ex-
poets them. to be honest, therefore they
do not ste:.l large amounts. The world
expects them to be virtuous, and some
are. Whether they are equally moral
may well pc questioned.
''Their !dea of truth is very often
feminine and their growing tendency
to klepton,ania is alarming. They
are much like children in the way they
conduct business and assume RESPONSE
bility, and their sense of an obligation
is often vely faulty. If the weaknesses
which we have enumerated are not
suppressed the entire club movement
will degenerate into a social function"
