CENSORSHIP REMOVED.

@ Consul General Edward II. Ozmun, q
SConstantinople, reports that the CEN
sorship has been abolished in the GUS
torn-house so that books. newspapers,
and printed matter are no longer SUD
sjected to examination, but freely pass
into the country. Further, the import
station of electric appliances, telephones,
and pharmaceutical substances VIII
henceforth be allowed.
This, the Consul says, opens up
wide and hitherto untouched field for
telephone manufacturers. The need
for telephones in Constantinople, where
the city covers such a great area,
stretching from San Stefano and
Kutchuk Tchekmedle, on the Sea OF
Marmora. to Roumeli KAYAK. near the
Black Sea, distance of about ~ miles,
is at once apparent, as the means OF
communication are very slow, Until
recently there has been no local post
in this city of over / 100000 inhabitants,
and 1t has been necessary to send mes
sengers from one part of the city to
another to deliver messages. The COM
pany which first succeeds in establish
ing telephone lines in this city will no
doubt find it profitable Undertaking.
The removal of the embargo upon
books will be hailed with satisfaction
not only by missionary societies and
missionaries, but, by all tourists who
have found it very difficult to obtain
any reading matter In Turkey. For in
j the matter OF censorship some Turkish
officials have outinatched in sensitive
ness the Utah calamity howlers who
pretend to see Il "hierarch' hidden be-
hind every telegraph pole, ready to
tdevour them. Turkish censorship has
gone so far as 10 prohibit the distri-
| button of New Testaments on the
! ground that the sentence in the Acts:
Come over into Macedonia, and help
| us, evidently contained encouragement
| to sedition and revolt from the Turk
ish government.
That is very silly, but not more so
| than the arguments and harangues Of
anti-"Mormon" agitators in Utah.

There is much more activity in the
