Abstract:
This article most likely is by the editor/publisher of Al-Mushir, Selim Sarkis, who attacks the Ottoman Sultan Abdul-Hamid for clamping down on newspapers in his empire--while currying favor with them in Europe and America. Sarkis then reports the criticism by Najeeb Arbeely, publisher of Kawkab America, of the Ottoman rulers, and states that this is a reversal by Arbeely who heretofore praised and supported the Ottoman Sultan.
