THE TURKISH PARLIAMENT.

Who could have believed a year .so
that Turkey would become a .onstitu-
ttonal monarchy and have a par,,a-
rent, without going through the
throes of a bloody revolution? The
18th Of this month Is a memorable day
in the history Of the world. On that
day the Sultan Abdul Hamid opened a
parliament at constantinople amid the
plaudits of his subjects of various
races and tongues. Turks and Ar
menians, Greeks and Jews, Moslcms.
Catholics and Protestants have equal
rights to sit in the parliament and leg.
islate for the whole Turkish empire.
Who would have believed il possi-
tle that an emperor, whose formula
Of faith is that 'there is no God but
Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet"
could have become SO liberal all Of a
sudden as to tolerate all religions and
place them on a perfect equality?

The death Of Charles e. Bond on

teing soldier, student, lawyer and
politician. Though a Republican, he
deprecated the attitude Of President
Roosevelt in the recent campaign and
thought he belittled the high onice he
filed by his actions. After "a years
Of his comparatively brief life in Min

Of Dublin. who was executed for his

Ireland, Capt. Bond was proud Of his

Mary McFadden, who has made a.
special study of Irish pedigrees with
Bob Dunn, says in the columns of
the Duluth News-Tribune: 'Tf the
King Of England, through the mar
rage OF the Duke Of Abruzzi to Miss
Elkins, following the marriage Of the
Duke of Turin to the Princess Patricia
Of Conneusht, should become the uncle
Of the wife Of the brother-in- law of
comn1oner, then his grand nephew
or niece might be the cousin Of half
breed. No wonder all Of royal Europe
altagonized the Abruzzi Elkins
match! Yet commoners in times past
have become the mothers Of kings"

the marauding Bashi Bazouks who

Of $4,000 defenseless men, women and

It can be safely asserted that things

the Sultan had not been intimidated

He could not obstruct the paths Of
liberty any longer without endanstr-
ing his head as we'll as his crown, and,
like sensible man, he granted the
demands made Of him with nlacrity.
Instead of sulking in his tent or in his

18th inst and was driven to the par
Lament house, which faces the great
square Of Sophia at Constantinople,
and there ne made an address which
elected rapturous applause from en-
thusiastic thousands.
The Sultan appointed sixty-nine
senators, three Of whom are Armen-
ians, three Greeks and one Jew. The
people had elected $50 deputies to rep
resent them in the lower branch of
parliament, and the parliament is now
ready to transact business. The Sui
tan is now a constitutional ruler and
no longer despot.

Commenting on Roosevelts last an
nual message to Congress, Prof. Rob-
ert Ellis Thompson says in the Irish
World that ''the art Of writing brief
messages seems to have died with
Gen. Grant" We agree with him.
When a message occupies two pages
Of daily paper, as Roosevelt's last
message did, life is too short to peruse
it, no matter how good 1t may be. It
is simply an imposition on good
natured people. and an indication that
the writer is at sea in his policies
after being in Office for seven years.
Brevity in Presidents messages Is a
desideratum devoutly to be wished by
a busy people. and we hope Mr.. Taft
realizes the fact II Mr.. Roosevelt
doesn't.

New York, Dec. 22.-Irish song and

cr brought to this country by Messrs.
Brooks & Dingwall, made his initial
Metropolitan debut in the Dublin COM
edy drama success, Peggy Machree,' 81
before a fashionable audience that
filled the theater completely.
Duplicating the immense hit made
in Philadelphia and elsewhere, Mr..
O'Mara received q most enthusiastic
welcome and he will be generally voted
by the critics as the best exponent Of
Irish music and song that America
has seen in many days.
The orchestra, especially augmented,
was under the direction Of Sig. An.
tcnio de Novelli.
The several interpolated numbers
sung by Mr.. o'Mara exhibited admir-
ably the fine qualities Of the singers

probably have never been edualled by
an English singing artist in New
