'THt UIQHTY HAT I fALLIN
Abdul Hi mid, 11 Yean Sultaa cf
Turker, Is Deposed, tad Leaves
as a Ttiet In tbe Hiqht.
With lust for blood equalling
that cf a 0r Borgia, cd yet
with bearing susv a a gent!
mao cf th court, relsntiees, but
polished, emooth, remorseless,
cold blooded and yst arable and
dif lomatic such is Abdul Hamid,
Defender cf th Faithful and for
33 year Saltan cf th Turkish
Kmpire.
It waa Gladstont who referred
to Turkey's rolar aa MAbdol th
Damned. Few name associated
with tbt vaoillating fortunes cf
Near Eaatsro Empires stand out
mora prominently loan tnat of ad
dnl Hamid. With bnt three ex
captions Hamid ha experienced a
longer reign than any ruler of Eu
rope, aod during tb terrible)
stretch of bit bloody reign unrest
and open revolt bavt marked tht
passage ot troublous yeara. Many
timea baa tb fat of tb Sultan
been io tb balance, and from the
midst of tb chaos of open rebel,
lion bt ba always com forth
more Dowerfullv tnoond npoo
thttbroo. Io danger at all timet
from enemies, hi lift baa been
spared, a if hedged about by
some etrange Divinity.
WTlth a record of murder and
bloodshed aa black a that of Lao.
pold io Africa, Hamid now faces
what tht world interprets absolut
ovartbrowal. It was oo yssterdsy
that b wb deposed, and it was on
yssterdsy that bis brother, Meb-'
med Ksachad Elf sodi, favored by
th young Turks, waa proclaimed
Sultaa. Dispatches cf tb early
morning announc tbt withdrawal
of tht deposed Sultaa from tht
Turkish capital. Hit exit was
made under cover of darkness and
bit only follower were eleven wo
men of bis one glorious and pop.
uloua baram. What pitiful re
trtnebment baa taken place in that
harem which waa one th brag ot
tbt Eastarn world, "How the
mighty have fallen." Hs who
cracked the whip over a servile
and terrorized populace for thirty
and three years, whose vtfry i res
sence suggestsd terror, and in
wboae wake followed the stark
white liod; ha who presidsd over
ont of tht rocst txtensive harems
since tht days of King Sclomon
now must quit th ospital as a thiif
in the night.
Meanwhile, those whom fortune
baa favored are making the best of
the situation. Just now at least
it would aeem that the Young
Turk are ia the ascendancy, and
for this fact Amsrioa and England
are thankful. Tb Young Turks
represent th party of progress,
and, waging a warfare for return to
strict allegiance tc the Constitu
tion, their tupremacy must mark
tht opening cf anew era io the
Near East. Put crises in Turkey,
as ia South American republics,
oome in close succession, and the
victor of to-day ia oftentimee the
vanquiahed of to morrow.
