The Future of Turkey.

The near east question, like the
poor, seems to be always with us.
European powers had no sooner con-
graduated themselves on the settle
ment of the Servian difficulty when
the reactionary party in Turkey start
ed a revolution which threatened to
undo all that was accomplished in
the revolution of last July.
But this counter-revolution was
short lived and it is to be uoped that
the Young Turks, who are again
masters of the situation, may be able
to keep what they have gained. Ap-
pearances favor them, but, consider.
ing the abundance of the fanatical
and infiammable material in the
Turkish empire one must be prepar-
ed to hear Of more revolutionary
movements and horrible massacres.
AS long as Abdul Hamid is alive,
there is danger of movement to
nut him back on the throne, but II
could hardly succeed.
AS a matter of fact the Turkish
empire in Europe is an anomaly al
together out of place. Every since
the Emperor Nicholas Of Russia IN
1854 dubbed Turkey the "Sick Man
of the East" the country has been
a fruitful source of trouble and anxi-
etv For a sick man Turkey has
been a long time dying, but in truth
its death has been postponed only
because Of the mutual jealousy OF
the powers. 1t ought to die for the
slaughter and outrages of which the
Armenians and other subject Chris
sian races are the Victims prove
that the "Unspeakable Turk" con-
tinues to be unregenerate.
Of course credit has to be given
the Young Turks. We believe they
mean well and that if their policy
could be sustained all would be well.
But the Moslem fanaticism and
prejudice taken in connection with
the ferocity Of the Albanians and
Kurds make the task well nigh i'm
possible. If only the nations could
agree as to the disposal of Constan-
tinople the easiest solution of the
difficulty would be the extinction of
European Turkey as an independent
country.

Lack Common Sense.

Prof. G. B. Foster, of the Universe
ty of Chicago, has gained good deal
of notoriety, if not fame, by his at
tacks on the Bible and revealed relig-
ion. Now he advances another step
and an extremely radical one at that,
by asserting that God does not ex-
ist, that what people call God Is
but the ideal of the universe. How
ever much people may disagree IN
religious belief they are we'll nlgn
unit in believing in the eXistance
of an intelligent, all wise Supreme
Being, and the statements of Profess
sor Foster will not change that con-
viction. Sometimes one is inclined
to believe that occasionally men be-
come so intensely learned that they
lose their common sense. That IS
what the Chicago professor seems to
have done.

Where Is Our Pride?

The Times and Democrat at the
outset of the movement to raise the
money for the monument to the
women of the Confederacy thought
all it had to do was to call the
attention of the people of the coun-
ty to the matter, and they would
respond at once, aud the amount that
this county ought to raise would
soon he paid in, but we confess with
shame that we were mistaken. For
several weeks we made the matter
prominent in our editorial columns,
and the only response we received
was from Capt. N. N. Hayden, who
gave his dollar like man. And
so far, that is all we have been able
to raise, except the five dollars do
mated for the noble work by The
Times and Democrat. We do not
seem to have any pride about the
matter. But we are glad that other
portions of the State are doing their
full share, and that the full amount
will be raised whether Orangeburg
does her duty or not. But how will
we feel about it? So far Orangeburg
has contributed little over thirty
dollars as reported by the State and
The Times and Democrat. In this
connection we want to compliment
the Columbia State on its fine work
for this noble cause. 1t has raised
many thousands of dollars for it,
and we are free to say that had it
not been for the admirable work Of
The State the movement to raise
the money for the monument would
have failed. All honor, we say, to
The State. for its noble and unselfish
work in raising this money. Our
only regret is that Orangeburg coun-
ty has not got bigger place in the
picture

Will Come Some Day.

The British government has intro
duced a bill into parliament to dis
establish the Church of England in
Wales. The bill will undoubtedly
pass the commons but it's fate in
the lords is uncertain. The action
of the government is one of simple
justice to Wales and in response to
the urgent entirety of the great ma
jority Of its people. Unlike England.
where the number Of the Church Of
England and the Nonconforists is
about equal. in Wales the Noncon-
formists are an overpowering ma
jority. Therefore on that ground
alone the demand of the Welsh is
fair and reasonable. But also the
principle of union of church and
State is wrong as well nigh eXery-
body in this country and in the Eng
lish colonies admit, and being wrong
is will ultimately be dissolved. That
is being rapidly recognized even in
England where ablishmcnt will
naturally follow that in Ireland,
where the results have been good all
round. and in Wales. No country
should compel people to support a
church they do not believe in,. and
separation of church and State will
be an accomplished fact all over the
civilized world in few more years.
The United States and several Euro
nean States do not have any such a
thing as an established church, and
the plan will spread all over the civil
liZed world before many years.
