BULGARIAN MACEDONIA GREAT
OPIUM GROWING TERRITORY

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, July IA.
Since the occupation of the Bulgar-
ian provinces of Macedonia, Bulgaria
has become one of the principal opium
growing countries, writes the Balkan
correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotter
dam Courant.
Before the Balkan wars Turkey was
the leading opium country in the Lee
want and Smyrna the principal market
for that article But Bulgaria has now
become a formidable competitor of
Asia Minor, both as regards quality
and quantity. The opium grown in
the environs of Uskub and in the Tx
vesh, along the yardar river is richer
in Alkaloids than the best qualities
from Anatolia.
In ordinary times the opium from
the Levant is exported to the Far
East, largely via Holland and Great
Britain Further, Germany chiefly
VI avs Otl DuL5cil ID III lilC OPtuAli iCA
chemical industry requires for the pre-
paration of morphine, codeine, ETC., and
Bulgarian opium thus is distributed
over the entire world by Germany's
agency. AS the prices obtained for
opium, particularly for that exported to
the Far East, were comparatively high
ard very remunerative, the cultivation
of the poppy proved very way profit
able and was continually extending in
the regions along the Vardar suitable
: for its growth, especially in the Strum
nitza and Melnik districts.
About 242,O00 pounds of opium was
harvested last year in the provinces
under Bulgarian administration, but
this quantity can easily be doubled
Now that the war, and the Allies
blockade has made export overseas to
the Far East impossible, and there is
consequently for the moment a much
smaller demand, a part of the fields
destined for poppy cultivation this
year is being used for the cultivation
of much needed grain and peas and
beans. Much more land still is devoted
t. the poppy than the expected opium
demand requires, however, this being
on account of the poppy seed. Under
present circumstances the oil to be won
from this seed has made it of great
importance, such oil being extremely
useful not only for industrial pur
poses, but also for human food. Last
year 800 railroad freight-car loads of
Ipoppy-seed were exported to the Cen
trail European countries
In Bulgaria itself the winning of
the oil is still done in a very clumsy
manner, whereby a great part of the
Gil is lost. Plans have now been set
on foot by Germans for the erection
on the spot of crushing mills equip
iped on the most modern lines.

But the fundamental evil is that tne
elections to the Reichstag result IN the
creation of an Assembly politically inn
potent, which does not control the eX-
ecutive and whose powers OF legisla-
tion are subject to an absolute veto by
the Bundesrath, that is, by the reign
ing Princes, big and little. German
Government is government by the EN-
peror and the dynasties, with the con-
sent of the Reichstag, a consent which
in practice can be forced, if not given
voluntarily, for the Bundesrath has the
power of dissolving the Reiehstag
whenever it wishes to, a power al
WAYS efficacious thus far. The German
government classes, the Princes, the
bureaucracy, agree with Moltke, VINO
said that the real ballot was the cart
ridge which the German soldier car
ried in his cartridge box, that the real
representative of the nation was the
army.
For all practical purposes the
Reichstag is merely debating club
and a debating club that has no power
OF seeing that it's will is carried out
AS late as January, 1914, DR.. Fried
rich Naumann of Middle Europe
fame, described the humiliating posi-
ton Of the body of which he was
member in the following words
I'VE on the Left are altogether in
favor of the parliamentary regime, by
which we mean that the Reichstag
cannot forever remain in position Of
subordination. Why does the Reicht.
tag sit at all, why does it pass resolu,
items, if behind it is a waste-papel
basket into which these resolutions
are thrown? The problem is to change
the impotence of the Reichstag into
some SORT of power" He added
THE man who compared this House
to a hall of echoes was not far wrong
To those who are accustomed to dc
practical work in life it appears
mere waste of time to devote them
selves to this difficult and monotonouS
mechanism. When one asks
the question, What part has the Reich.
stag in German history as whole? il
will be seen that the part is a very
limited one
Many millions among US" said DR.
Frank in the Reichstag on Jan. %
1914, feel it a burning shame that
while Germans achieve great things ir
trade and industry, in politics they are
deprived Of rights,
In the determination of national pol
icy the German Nation has, therefore
no way of enforcing its wishes through
the only agency it possesses. In other
words, the nation does not govern it
self. The handspring of power lies, not
in the Reichstag, but in the Bundles
rath, the organ of the Princes, every
one of whom claims to rule by divine
right, not one of whom has his policy
dictated to him by his peoples repre-
sentatives-and in the Kingdom OF
Prussia.

Absolutism in Prussia.

The Kingdom of Prussia is larger
than all the other German States com
bined, comprising two-thirds of the
territory and about two-thirds of the
population of Germany. The empire
differs from other considerations in
that the States comprising it are OF
unequal voting power in both the
Bundesrath and Reichstag. 1t was
Prussia that made the German Empire
and made it by blood and iron, and in
the empire she has installed herself at
every point of vantage and guards
jealousy not only the primacy but al
so the actual power.
Prussia has, since 1850, had a Con-
stitution and a Parliament. What are
they like? The Constitution was
granted by the King, and nowhere
does it recognize the sovereignty OF
the people. What the monarch has
granted he can alter or withdraw. All
the restriction the Constitution impos-
es upon the monarchical principal is
that henceforth it shall be exercised
and expressed in certain forms, with a
certain procedure. Prussian states
men and Prussian jurists maintain with
practical unanimity that this does not
mean any diminution of the power OF
the monarch, that the fact that he Gre
ates a Legislature does not for an in
slant mean that he devolves upon it a
part Of the sovereignty
The Legislature of Prussia is the
Landtag. which consists of two cham

ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Public Utilities Company has
placed an order for two hundred
horse power oil engine at a cost Of
$4,000 to be installed in their new
power house in the city which will
be under construction as soon as cir
cumstances will permit, owing to the
crowded condition Of rolling mills in
the iron manufacturings centers the
work has been delayed already and
il is believed that on account Of the
acceptance of the order that work on
the construction of the building will
begin early in he present summer.
The company will also make improve
ments at their power house down the
river amounting to several thousands
of dollars. II is their intention to
place strong iron bars In front OF
the entrance to the water wheel to
prevent timbers ard drift from inter-
fering with the wheel. Other i'm
provements are to be made as rap
idiy as possible to make the service
