THE SULTAN AS HE IS.
A Frenchman*! Vivid Description of the
Baler of Turkey,
Victor Berard, in writing on Tur
key and the sultan for a Parisian
review, has told some very interest
ing faets. For several years he was
a college professor in Constantino
ple and knows his subject thorough
ly. He blames the-sultan and Russia
for the Armenian massacres, and
holds the sultan up to scorn as per
haps the most abject coward hold
ing a high position in Europe.
80 fearful is the sultan of dyna
mite that he will not allow electric
ity to be used in Constantinople, as
it is' generated by dynamos.
sv
Here is the pen picture he draws
of the sultan:
"Abdul Hamid is a gentle, shy, civ
il man, rather cold at a first inter
view, but whose manner becomes
winning on better acquaintance. His
temper is'even, his address affable,
his native intelligence above the av
erage, .but his culture is niL The
gross farces of the Turkish stage
and 'penny horrible' French liter
ature are his great delight. He has
ordered the whole of 'Xavier de
Montepin' to be translated for him.
His' piety, perhaps simulated, is
narrow and superstitions, and his
private life serious, and, indeed,
austere. The most severe Young
Turks admit that for centuries the
Ottoman throne has not been ocou.
pied by a man so little sensual. Em
bassadors have all been charmed by
Abdul Hamid, and many have not
got over this pleasant impression.
It is due to the extreme politeness
of this autoorat, to his attention to
their remarks, his apparent assent
to every oite of their conclusions.
The proofs he gives of hard work,
good will and scrupulous t^esa appeal
to even the most liberal Young
Turks, like Murad Bey..
"A great effort or long habit is
necessary to mistrust or disbelieve
a man who seems so upright and
who certainly is unhappy. Every
thing in his attitude, words and
even silence, his sudden pinching of
the lips, starts of the body, wander
ing looks and the pallor of the
cheeks disguised by powder—every
thing shows unreasoning, incurable
fear in. the successor-of the unfor
tunate Aziz and Murad. It is the key
to his character. Fear has subdued
in him pride, passion and vices, but
it has also killed generosity,
straightforwardness, honor and all
sentiment further than that of
preservation."

We continually heajfof the Israel

are found in Bombay and black

China, they are not only allied to
the Chinese who surround them,

head for business.
Bilkins—No, you haven't, but you

me run things I'll go in with you as

Wilkins—Done. A friend in need

you have—everything that wealth
oould buy- or heart wish! You have

An exchange
says: "Dost love

who always kicks, no matter what
you do—who kicks with most prodig

who kicks if anything goes wrong and
kicks if all goes right who kicks be
cause he likes to kick and kicks with
all his inieht? We know some awful
kickers of this wicked mundane sphere
who came on earth by accident and
kick because they're here they make
themselves uncomfortable ana other
people sick they drive themselves to
suicideand still they always kiok. We
know a man who kioks and kicks the
blessed livelong, day and if there's
naught to kick. about he's kicking'
anyway. At times when things are
going right and other men would
smile, lie kicks on general principles
and kicketh all the while."

Call for Suffrage Convention.
All friends of justice and equal rights in Au
dubon county are urgently invited to meet in
mass contention in Audubon June 25th and
26tb» 1897. The convention will be hold under
the joint auspices of the National-American
Woman Suffrage Association, and the IoWa
Equal Suffrage Association. Able speakers will
be present, and an entertrining, instructive
program will be provided. Four states, Wyom
ing, Colorado, Utah and Idaho, have alreaidy
granted full suffrage to dromon, while twenty
six additional states have .admitted the jhstice
of the claim by extending partial suffrage. The
states which nave had full opportunity to ob
serve the advantages of woman suffrage, unite
in testimony that it has proved beneficial in
every direction. It has in no way injured men,
women or the state. Instead, under its influ
ence, women have become more intelligent and
self-reliant good men have been enoouraged by
