BURGLARlEs IN OGDEN.

tho Turkish Legislators divide into
two main parties, which are classed
according to the degree OF radicalism

from a writer in the Tour du Monde

still in a merely inchoate condition,
1t is plainly discernible that OF lhc
two principal groups at Constantine

Is the only one as yet completely nnd
practically organized. Granting that
Turkey is now a constitutional mon-
archy, this party would represent the
Tories OF the Hanoverian period and
the Conservatives of Lord Salisbury's
days. The. writer observes OF this
party:
1T now has gained pretty large
parliamentary majority, having in It's
ranks $50 out of the 220 Deputies OF
the Assembly. Nor is its ascendency
impaired by the fact that alongside
OF it stands another group of reform
lists, under the moral direction OF
Prince Sabah ed-dine. who style them
selves Union Liberals. This group 10

ideas Of reform than the party OF I'M

Liberals are found the Grand Vizier
Kiamil Pacha, and the ex-minlster OF
the interior, Haiku Bey, now minister
of justice. In opposition to these two
parties. which eventually may coal.

which Is radical and more clearly OF
toman In sentiment and constitutes
the extreme left. though party spirit
has not yet developed to the stage Of

WOMEN AND MARRIAGE LAWS

Tho chief cause which influenced
the change in woman's position from
one OF slavery to one OF dignity"
writes the Duchess Of Marlborough In
The North American Review, was
the gradual change in the marriage
custom At the beginning, when
Rome was nothing more than an agri-
cultural community, the woman
figured as an Industrial asset in the
family and her husband sought her
from her father, But, as Rome grew
into a great and rich CITY, the fore
most In the world. families became
rich. and women no longer repre-
sented means of production; fathers
left them fortunes independent OF
their husbands control, and a class
of powerful, wealthy women sprang
into being. Marriage became\a a con-
tract between two people, and 1t could
not be dissolved except by law. Hus-
band or wife had an equal right OF
dissolying a marriage, but permis-
sion Of a family council was neces-
sary, as we'll as compliance with legal
forms Such change in the relative
position of woman made her much
more important factor In the family
and nut her on a base of equality
with men"
The Roman explorers found the Teu'
tonic women enjoying rights unheard-
of In other sections of the world
says the Times. They also found
average virtue in the north forests
very high. Adultery was strictly
punished, by torture; and intidelity
was very rare In consequence, the
ancient Teutonic woman enjoyed a
position her sex had perhaps never
known-a position in reality higher
than 1t has been under the civiliza-
ton in the occident in more recent
times.
The women of America appear SIN
gularly Indifferent to their peril AL
most all the agitation thus far has
been by clergymcn and laymen. A
fow societies composed of women
have drawn up resolutions, but no
very determined effort has been
made to stem a tendency that, II not
checked within few decades, may
reduce the sex to sad levels.
