Show The Row Oyer Roumeliai No matter what complications may follow, fol-low, the revolution in Roumelia will remain phenomenal for the adroitness with which it was managed and the success suc-cess with which it was attended. ..A whole people united to throw off- the bondage of Turkish misrule and tho emancipation occurred without the strik- i ing of a blow or the shedding of a drop of blood. Roumelia is now attached to Bulgaria and there is no likelihood that the revolution which made the change will ever go backward. Bulgaria was erected into an independent principality as a result of the late Turco-Rus-sian war, and it has been fairly prosperous pros-perous since that time. Roumelia, Bos-ma Bos-ma and Herzegovina should have been treated with equal consideration at that time, but the Berlin Conference decided otherwise and the uprising in Roumelia was only a question of time. But no ono supposed it would have succeeded so quietly. Turkey may protest, but Russia and Austria will undoubtedly see that the Turks are not allowed to retake their . lost province by force, treaty or no treaty. |
