should Turkey decide Co shy her cas- tor into the whirlpool Of war that is now tormenting Russia, the decision vili not tend to ease the cousoieuces Of those members of civilized society who hav9 been hoping for Russia's humiliation to this year oi grace. The strongest point of the great white Czar in the case he makes for Slav and Cos sack before the court of Christian ciyi- usa,ion is the record ot his wars against Turkish aggressions. It was the strong arm of Russia that stayed the northern march ofthe Sultan's frontier and turned it back again toward Asia To Russia is fairly due the everlasting -vrstitade Of all the people of central Europe for preventing the sway of the Mohamedans rom being extended over them. Itisuot at all Co the credit of Groas Britain, Germany and other pow CTS, that they have prevented Russia from entirely removing this cancer from the face Of Europe, and that they have done 80 has created more sympa- thy and more good feeling for Russia probably, than that country is entitled Co. Itmay be conceded that to permit Russia Co extend It's borders to the Med issrransaa would be Co give a semi-bar- barour country undue prestige and pow CT among the nations Of Europe, but ii is certainly just true thatto deny that prestige Co Russia never included an obligation to tolerate the continuance Of Turkish control over a single square foot of European territory. The law of humanity demands that the powers, which have stopped Russia from hur- linz the Turk and all o, his breed out ci Europe, shall now, as least, save Bull garia from the threatened catastrophe Of falling under the heel of the Nussul- mans.
