record shows. is the one great sutocrat in
history who has always known when to yield.

degree 10 constitutional ideas. He would
never have yielded to q popular demand

his one lever of power was taken from him
His only alternative was civil war. depo-
siton and an ignominious death. But Il ia
the army that is now the power In Turkey,
and history does not throw q reassuring
light upon military revolutions.
The Turkish army's grievances are genu-
inc and legitimate. It 10 to be expected that
these wrongs. especially in the matter Of
long arrears of pay. will be rightsd first.
The national treasury is praotioallye empty.
Nobody knows what the Sultan's private
purse contains. but its contents can be OBJ
taned only by violent oonascation.
The first crisis is likely to arise when
demand s made. as II will be made presently,
for the removal Of the garrison of 10000
Albanians which the Sultan maintains at
Yildiz. No terms could carry greater
terror to the Padisha. and he viii resist

are all anxiously debated this week In the
press and in the ohanoelleries of Europe.
The withdrawal yesterday OF the Anglo
Russian scheme Of Macedonian reforms was
inevitable. Reports entirely reass,rins in
their nature come from Bulgaria, which
is another great danger point. In Turkey
itself no alarming symptom has yet ap-
peared. All Europe continues to wonder
at this. Are We witnessing the first ideal
revolution history has produced and In
such q quarter?
Respect for the Turks already has risen
higher in Christendom than any Eastern
people ever inspired. and there are those
who believe that the eliminating event
will justify 1t 1t is at least established
that the movement has been organised
and executed with matohless skip. re-
straint and patriotism. Moreover the at
