EEaCONsFIELD,s TREATY.

Although leading English papers had
been arguing the necessity OF an English
Protcctorate over Asiatic Turkey, the an
npEnccment that a protectorate has already
been provided Tor by a secret treaty be-
tween England and Turkey, is discussed in
the European papers IN. a tone that indi-
caies a complete surprise. The leaders in
the London Tines were looked upon as EN-
anaiions from Mr.. Punch, that had by mis-
take been published in the wrong paper,
rather than as semi-ofiicial productions
from the Foreign Office Of the Government.
The effect Of the announcement thus
far Is little less than a surprise
Whether the treaty VIII be Of ad-
vantage 10 England is question which the
English and continental papers are en-
deavoring TO settle: The press of Vienna
Is 50 nearly unanimous in commencing the
action Of the English Premier as TO give
the impression that the Austrian govern
ment was consulted before the agreement
was made. At Paris public opinion is di-
vided, and it will require positive assuran-
ces that most important French interests in
Syria are not endangered to secure the ac-
quiesceuce 81 France, and there are init
nations that this danger had been provi-
ded against by arrangements that satisfied
the representatives Of France at Berlin.
There are no indications that
Russia viii protest against the treaty,
though it i apparent that the people of
that country will with reluctance permit
It's provisions 20 be carried out. Most OF
the English papers are satisfied with what
has been done, though some Of them e1-
press doubt whether it is wise for the
Government to assume the great response
bilIty involved. 1t is probable that Bea-
conslield will go 10 the country asking an
approval Of what he has done, and that an
exciting parliamentary contest will be the

The following reference to the late cow
ardIy attack upon DIR. Munford, editor OF
1Rhe Kansas City Times, We clip from the
s.. Joseph Herald, and transfer to The
!. TINS for the purpose of adding our en-
dorsement. The Kansas City Journal sent
out sensational dispatch in regard to the
matter, apologizing for the rowdy who
made the assault, instead Of stating the
plain truth about his dastardly conduct.
The Hodid says:
The attack on Or. Munford, of the Kansas
City Times, telegraphed yesterday, was the
act OF coward and bully named Rucker,
and has no excuse whatever. Rucker IL q

kansas Spirit.l
Some Of our fruit growers inform US tha,
their peach trees are so heavily loaded with
fruit that the limbs are breaking off badly.
This injury TO trees might have been avoid
ed by thinning out the fruit earlier in the
season, and even now both fruit and trees
may be saved in many instances by careful
ly propping up the overloaded limbs and
making such other supports as each case
may seem TO require. We are indeed bless
ed with an abundance OF fruit of all kinds
this season, and our people are eating it
withoul stint and the consequence is there
is wonderful absence OF sickness. Nice,
ripe fruit is good for everybody. Physic-
ians prescribe it, nature provides it, and we
are blessed.
