that the independence party should support MI

CANADk'S FOREST FIRE.

In its proportions the fire which has pre-
vailed in the southeastern corner of British
Ceiumbla for several days is probably without
q precedent Of it's kind in Canada, and before
its work is finished it may rival in its effects
the worst corfagration experienced by any
large city in the Dominion. In Toronto, for in

Were reduced to ashes four years ago. and the
resulting loss computed TO be S12000o00
This seems to have been the most destructive
visitation of its class in recent years north of
The United States boundary. Yet, according to
one Of the estimates. the damage in the Elk
River Valley already threatens TO parallel that
loss. Accurate figures will not be available for
some time 10 come, and there is often much
exaggeration in such cases. 1t is 10 be hoped
that when correct information is at hand the
loss will prove TO be much less than SlO.oo0,0O0.
The most lamentable features Of the outbreak

that thousands of persons are temporarily

We are told that some of the more ardent spir-
its among the Young Turks are already going
too fast and are likely 10 arouse fanatcai re-
sentiment and n reaction. Precisely that thlng
occurred in Russia as we have hitherto pointed
out and constitutional progress was much I'M
peted thereby. The same thing has happened
in Persia. with deplorable, though not fatal re-
suits 1t may happen in Turkey and may there
cause trouble and delay in getting the consul
tuition at work Nor is it to he wondered at
that there Is such Il tendency. or that many
Turks persist in regarding the removal OF ao-
tIul Uamid from the throne sine qua non
of Il real reform. Our expert contributor on sun
day declared that it was scarcely an exasSera-
ton TO say that every Turk who can reao
hates Abdul Hamd with the fervor OF an
anarchist-or that he did thus hate him down 10
few days ago But men may hate a chef OF
state. and yet ii may be expedlent thaI he pe
kent in place. and they may. despite theif
hatred realize that fact. The death or expul-
sion of Ahdul Hamid would certainly ereauy
compIicate matters and might be productive
of disturbances which would do irremed'anie
harm. The wiser policy would seem to he WIN
temnerate resolution to take advantage OF MS
word in such way as to make the wlthdraWat

THE OUTLOOK IN TURKEY.

1t is not surprising that the Turkish populace
is almost delirious with delight over the peace
full revolution which has been effected Neither
is it surprising that many observers regard the
whole incident with skeptcism. 1t is quite
true as was remarked by the expert authority
on Turkish affairs whose interesting and ilu-
minating discussion of the crisis we printed on
Sunday, that the past makes constitutional gov
ernment under Abdul Hamid unthinkable Yet
the unthinkabe is not essentially and neces-
sarily impossible. 1t is also quite true. as our
London correspondent has reminded us, that
there is no warrant for the conclusion that
an absolute autocracy suddenly create an
enlightened scheme of government among
Orientals. But neither is there warrant for
the conclusion that the development of Ell
Iightened institutions there is impossible. The
autocracy Of Russia was about as absolute as
that of Turkey. and Russia is scarcely less
Oriental than Turkey: yet nobody now doubts
that an enlightened constitutional government
is seriously and permanently being established
there We shall not expect Turkey to do much
If any better than Russia But we shall hope
and expect to see progress made at CONSTANT
nopIe which will he fairly comparable with
that which is being effected at st. Petersburg.
That hope is based upon several significant
circumstances. One is that Abdul Humid. with
all that his critics have said of him. is un-
doubtedly Il particularly well Informed and
astute ruler. He knows Turkey as well as
anv one, and he can read the signs of the times
as well rs any one! Another is that the Young
Turks who are also we'll Informed and who
are certainly not in league with the Sultan, are
convinced that the revolution is in earnest A
third is that the widespread sedition in the
Turkish army even in the Albanian contingent,
was unquestionably real Still another is that
with all its backwardness and sin the Turkish
Empire contains n great number of intelligent
upright and progressive men who are imbued
with high public spirit and who are fitted TO
take up successfully the work Of practical gov
ernment 1t may be that Abdul Hamid
capab BILE of proclaiming constitution which he
did not mean to maintain, last resort to
slave off the enforcement of reforms in Mace
donia or for some other Interior motive. But
the circumstances which have noted indi-
cate rather that he was forced TO grant it n
an alternative TO something worse, and that
even if he did not mean 10 maintain it beyond
the serving of immediate needs the people
may take him at his word to such effect as will
has been done There comes time inevitably.
when the overstrung bow Of autocracy must
snap As John Hay wrote Of the then i'm
pending fall OF Louis Napoleon, "The people
will come TO their own at last: God is not
Knocked forever The fall of autocraCy in Rus
sia, in Persia and in Montenegro is a sign of
the times writ large and bold-large enough to
be read at Iildiz
The chief peril TO the "3use Of reform in
Turkey would seem to lie in ultra-radicalism.
