THE NEW ERA IN TURKEY.

Sir Edward Grey recently remarked that the
reformers In Turkey had something more than
sentimental enthusiasm and good intentions on
their side. This estimate is abundanuy con-
firmed by what the Young Turks have already
achieved and by what they are persevering in
amid circumstances of unexpected and unde-
served discourag cement. 1t might have been
thought that the conduct of Austria Hungary
and Bulgaria would be enough TO drive them to
despair and TO plunge the empire back into its
worst depths of despotism. But their difficulties
only seem to inspire these patriots to more
earnest and more resolute efforts.
The elections for the Turkish parliament have
now been practically completed, and that body
will soon assemble. It the ambition Of the
Young Turks 10 make 1t representative Of an
harmonious union of all the races and creeds
of the empire AS the Minister of the Interior
confidently prophesied, In our parliament there
will be no Turkish, Armenian, Greek or Jewish
deputies: they will all be Ottoman depu-
ties" That end really seems TO have been
attained. despite some pretty sharp racial con-
troversies during the campaign. Christians
voted for MOSlem and Moslems for Christian
candidates In Broussa there is an Overwhelm-
ing majority of Moslems. vet two Armenian
Christian candidates were elected. At Uskub
the Christian population is chiefly Bulgar. but
Of the four deputies elected one Is Il Bulgar,
one is q Serb and two are Moslems. At Er-
zeroum three MOslems and two Armenians were
elected one of the latter being a man who had
been condemned to death for taking part in the
revolutionary movement at Van. but whose
sentence was cOmmuted TO life Imprisonment
at the instance Of the British government, and
who received full pardon on the promulgation
of the constitution. while one of the Moslens is
p man who was exiled for his defence and
protection Of ATmenians at the time of the
massacres in their country
There will be strong Turkish majority In
the parliament. as il is desirable there should
be. Despite the boast that racial lines will be
forgotten we must believe that the best guar
antee Of such forgetfulness will be the existence
Of n homogeneous majority of representatives
Of what is. after all. the ruling race of the EN-
pire- The passionate hatreds which have long
existed between Greeks and Bulgars between
Greeks and Albans. between Christians and
Jews. may, and we trust will. be held in abev-
ance- But we should dread the consequences n
any OF the factions should become so strong as
not 10 be controlled by the Turkish majority.
1t Is the Turkish Empire with Turkish
dynasty. and the revolution is essentially
Turkish revolution. The hope Of the new era
is for equal rights for all under Turkish racial
hegemOny.

THE Plan or THE CANAL.

The success of the fsthmian canal enterprise
seems now 10 be fully assured. The diplomatic
political financial and sanitary problems which
are involved in il, and any one of which was
sufficient 10 balk our French predecessors have
all been satisfactorily solved. There remains
nothing but the material engineering problem
and although that is colossal in dimensions it
contains no more than . single unfamiliar factor
and might be made t9 contain none at all
Progress on ali parts Of The work is being made
at rae which would have seemed fabulous 10
Iesseps and which even our own engineers
at the beginning scarcely dreamed Of. and, with
the exception Of the single factor 10 which we
hsve referred, there is reason for confidence
that this rate can be maintained to the end, if,
indeed. II is not actually Increased.
The one factor Of uncertainty IS. Of course, the
rnoustrous dam and flights Of locks at Gatun,
which are apparently q necessary part OF the
high level scheme Of canal 1t viii be recalled
that official and technical judgment was at first
strongly against that type of canal and In favor
OF tide level waterway. and II is fndisputable
that large portion of the best expert Judgment
is still on that side Of the question One OF the
chief reasons Of the government for rejecting
the opinion OF the majority OF its international
board Of consulting engineers and adopting
high level when they had recommended a sea
level canal the supposedly great difference
a the time required by the two plans That rea
son never seemed TO Us conclusive. The best type
should be adopted regardless Of a few years
difference in tine required. But now il is
demonstrated that with the Increased speed Of
construction which our engineers have attained
II would be possible to complete sea level
canal IN less time than was allotted to a high
level canal two or three years ago
II is suggested from time TO time that
reconsideration Of the plan Of the canal is even
vet not impossible. since such course need
cause no delay IN the work Of construction and

The Commissioner should have an opportunity
TO show what will be the result Of his reforms.
He is acting upon the theory that the police win

semI-independent unit In this way he counts
upon getting rid of the unnecessary uuplicauoh
involved in a branch headquarters IN brooklEh

some of the pleasant relations that exist De

more than one instance the Police Commls-
sioner has shown the soundness or his loeiS
of department organization, and this change IN
BROOKLYN is only part of his general plan. ltS
results should be awaited with an open mind
But whatever may be thought OF the Police
Commissioners actions, there is no room TOT
