corr D,ET4r AND CONSTITUTION.

Despite some obvious exaggerations in press
reports. the essential character Of the situation
in Turkey is certainly portentous- There IS
practically a civil war at or around CONSTANT
nople over the question whether the Sultan
shall retain his throne For there is now gen
eraI recognition of the truth which The Tribune
ventured TO suggest at the beginning OF the
disturbances. that the so-called counter revoIu-
ton of the Turkish Liberal Union was in fact,
a coup d'6tdt of the Sultan himself. His hand
was concealed with his customary cleverness,
but no such concealment can be entirely or
permanently successful. His motive is now
obvious. 1t was even in part cOmmendable,
for it was 10 secure for Turkey an admins
tration which would be more purely Turkish
and would be less susceptible to foreign i'll
fiuences. But the methods employed were afro
cious. and they now seem likely TO recoi upon
their authors head with disastrous effect
For the young Turks. who were at first taken
by surprise and placed at disadvantage, have
rallied their forces with masterful energy and
bid fair to regain their ground. Indeed, they
threaten to do much more than that They
perceive the real character of the coup TttGt
and its authorship. and they are not only re-
SentfuI but vengeful. Before, they were loyal
to Abdul Hamd and were willing that he
should remain Sultan TO the end of his days.
Now they have lost faith in him have turned
against him and demanding his abdcation.
If he does not abdicate they purpose to eXpel
him from his throne. Nor do their threats
appear 10 be vain. The coup d'6tat was
effected through the use of a small part OF the
Turkish army. But q far larger part of ii has
remained loyal To the Young Turks and is now
at their command. We are told that it is march
ing toward ConstantinOple with the avowed
purpose of compelling the Sultan TO abdicate.
The key 10 the fortificatiOnS Of the city is al
ready in its possession and the garrison at
the Sultan's command is entirely insufficient
to resist its advance. It will be recalled that
the Young Turks conducted their propaganda
in the army and made sure of its adherence to
their cause before they compelled the promuIga-
ton of the constitution.
Whatever may he the outcome of these op-
erations one thing seems assured and that if is
which leads us TO regard the situation as not Of
quite the most ominous description. The con
stitution is apparently safe. In the whole
tragic episode there has been talk of abro-
eating that instrument. Even the Sultan him
self whether from fear or a less ignoble motive.
has scrupulousy observed constitutional pro
cedure In the reorganization of the government.
The Young Turks and the Liberal Union criti-
else and condemn each other. but nobody on
either side has a word to say against the CON
stitution. That is the hopeful feature of the
case. There may be much more trouble even
involving a dynastc revolution, but Turkey is
likely 10 remain constitutional empire.

TIE CnlfLNG CANPAIGN.

The speech of Mr. Robert c. Morris. the newly
elected president of the Republican Cluh' DeIh9
largely devoted to the shortcomings OF the NC
CIelIan administration, had a municipal cam
pafgn ring about it. No doubt in the months 10
come the voters will hear much of the argu-
ments which Mr.. Norris used. They VIII DE
reminded of how the city debt has increased
S3OO0OO,OO0 under the present administration,
how the budget has doubled in few years ana
how the tax rate has advanced. y poWerfui
case can be made against the party in once
and the outlook for reform administration Is
accordingly favorable. The Republicans regard
the situation with unusual confidence but thaI
confidence should not lead them TO make any
false steps in the coming campaign.
For even though the people are indignant aI
the cost of the Mcclellan administration ana Ut
its unwise use of the citys credit, II must he
borne in mind that Tammany will probably
escape some of the responsibility for the present
administration. Mayor McClellan's break with
Tammany Hall has been such that II 1alhlhaHE
repudiates his worst mistakes and makes a good
nomination it will doubtless be hard TO beat
II will make plausible argument that the pres
ent administration reSembed more All indie
pendent administration than a Tammany admin
istration: that it was out of touch and sympathy
with the common people: that II was an auInIh-
iStration of the classes and not as Iammany Is
representative OF the masses; that 1t spent the
citys money in ways that did not benefit the
general public In many directions Tammany
can make its partial breach with Mr.. Mcclellan
rebound 10 its advantage in the coming cam
paign. The advantage of the discomfort with
the present administration is with the Repuo-
licans but it is not all so clearly and inevitably
with them that any chances can be taken.
If the opposition TO Tammany is to win. it
muSt create a powerful impression that the
public will benefit greatly from putting ii In
office A striking ticket must be put up An
impressive programme must be adopted.
spirit above common partisanship must char
acterize the enterprise. Some appeal must be
made to the popular imagination As Mr. Par
sons said some time ago, the people are not
waiting merely 10 turn out of office the party
at present holding office and TO put its oppo-
nents in its place.

RESIDENCE 4ND DITORCE.

The decision Of d Nevada judge that divorce
can be obtained in that state only by an appli-
cant who has established bona fde residence
may help to break up the pernicious practice of
colonization there for divorce purposes. There
are still Il few states whose laws permit a
great latitude in pushing claims for release from
matrimonial ties: but the list is happily short
ening.
The people Of South Dakota by a popular
vote recently dispersed the Sioux Falls col

MOTT 4 CONPROMISE.

"Tbe New York World" regards Governor
Hugbes's direct nominations bill as a "compro-
mise" thinks it failed because 1t was COM
nro1niSe and holds that its failure carried DOWN
his whole legislative programme OF TINS year
The c0mprOmiSe according 10 The Norld, was
in two directions-firSt in not including United
States SenatorShip nominations within the pur'
view of the bill. and second in departing from
tbe lines of the pure direct system as it prevails
in the West Compromise is SO foreign 10 Gov
erpor Hughes's nature and his success hitherto
has been so largely due to his consistent reiusa!
70 compromise after the usual fashion of poll
tfcians. that it would he interesting to see what
evidence there is that lie has for once compro-
missed and consequently failed
If the Governor compromised in the two re-
spects alleged by The World then the Dill
does not in those respects represent the Gov
ernors real views. But there are good reasons
for thinking that the bill does 'emb0dy his per-
sonaI views, that ii is the result of his own
investigations and contains his independent con
cusions There is no ground for belief that MI
Hughes ever intended 10 include United states
Senatorshps in Ais direct primary system. So
far as We know he has never advocated the
cnoice of Senators al party primaries. He has
declared himself in favor Of amending the Con
stituton and having Senators elected directly
by the people. The very fact that he fayOrs this
is the best of reasons for thinking that he dis
likes the direct primary subterfuge.
As for the party committee plan in his BILL
it is not probable that the Governor adopted it
because he hoped il would recommend his plan
to his political opponents. ON the contrary
the Governor probably reached the conclusion
that with such a device he could obtain the
advantages of the direct system while avoiding
its defects. There is not the slightest doubt
that the Governor believes that direct nomna-
tons with party committees to prepare them
will prove better than direct nominations with
out such committees. His unexpected adoption
o, this novelty undoubtedly resulted in a set
back to his cause as he must have known it
would; ana thus he sacrificed advantage 10 con

SPRING Up TO Date

month has now passed since the vernal
equinox. Spring has advanced far enough,
therefore to render feasible an estimate of its
character. The daily reports of the United
States Weather Bureau in rhis city for the last
ten days of March showed slight reaction from
the singIlary mild weather of the three weeks
immediately preceding, and. indeed os the win
ter as a whole. 1t looked for a time as if
change 10 less genial conditions were impending
But since the short period of apparent indie
cision with which March closed there has been
distinct preponderance OF weather quite un-
like that of yesterday. Mr.. Emory's figures
indicate that on two days of the last twenty the
temperature in this city was nj par 50 to
speak. was felow par on only four days and
above par on fourteen. The net result for April
up 10 the present time is daily excess Of
temperature averaging about four degrees. Per-
haps ii should be added that, abrupt as was
the fall of the mercury yesterday, the mean
