II is not surprising that the act of the Brit
sb Government in taking possession OF the
chief port on the sland of Mitylene should
create profound sensation from one END Oh
continental Europe to another. This isiaho
lies in easy reach of Constantinople and ior
all practical purposes commands the APP
proaches TO that city by water
Having secured strongly fortified position
in the immediate vicinity of the Dardanelles'
tho British thereby establish a military pro-
tectorate over the Turkish Empire far more
effective than they were able to do by the ac-
ous,tion of Cypress An English garrison az
Sigri is a warning TO Russia that the slightest
attempt on its part to encroach upon <the
Mediterranean will be resented by Eng
land. acting from the strategic point OF au-
VANTAGE which she has row in the island OF
Mitylene.
The Salisbury government virtually pro-
claims TO the world that it will maintain the
bold eastern policy which Beaconsfeld origi-
nally laid down, and that i. will not wait until
the exigencies Of war have arisen to place
British troops in stronghold near Constant
nople, from which they can be hurried 10
that city, if IL should be necessary.
This net Of taking possession of Mitylene
is as pronounced and unequiyocal a step on
the part Of the English Government as was
the transfer of East Indian troops TO the
island of Malta at the time that war seemed
10 be OH the point of breaking out between
England and Russia. No war is now impend-
ing between these Powers, which makes the
acquisition of Mitylene all the more signifi-
cant.
The manner in which the island was &C.
quired was eminently characteristic of Eng
land No nation on earth Is more jealous Of
the encroachments of other Powers on ground
which will furnish admirable points OF mill
step Of this kind on their part
is questioned by her. and in many
instances resistedi necessary by force of arms.
When England proposes to acquire such
strategic points she proceeds with secrecy,
and when her object is secured she quietly
endures the opposition which her success
raises. but shows not the slightest disposition
to Withdraw from the position which she has
taken.
Acting upon this principle, England has
dotted the face of the globe with her fortresses.
Hong Kong Suez Malta. Gibraltar. st.
Helena. Bermuda. Halifax. Australia. all tell
the same story. With whatever nation Eng
land may go TO war and in whateverpar ofthe
world, she has an impregnable base Of opera
tions from which she can use her military and
naval power to the highest advantage.

The report which comes from Kansas that
the Republicans and Democrats Of that State
are uniting with o view to overtbrowing tho
candidates Of the Alliance, will not be cause
Of surprise when IL is recalled that tho doc
trnes which tho leading members of that
organization in Kansas have been enunciating
and enforcing by every appeal that can be
made 70 passion. are subversiye OF the very
foundations upon which the whole structure
Of free government rests.
Tho party Of the combined Republicans and
Democrats have openly proclaimed in their
platforms that the object of tho Alliance is to
SOW the seeds Of anarchy and socialism in the
United States, and that already the evil in
fuence OF these new elements OF confusion
and ruin is observable in every department OF
the local affairs Of Kansas il consequence OF
the unwearied activity of the Alliance in pro-
pagating their principles among the people
at large.
That the impression as to the injury which
it is inAicting on the welfare of the State Is OF
the keenest nature among the members OF the
two old parties, is shown by their determine
ton 70 unite and suppress the evil just az II
they were engaged in cause which should
enlist the support OF every citizen whatever
his political antccedents.
In no part OF tho United States has the
division between the Democratic and Repub-
lcan parties been more strictly drawn than IN
Kansas. 1t was formerly Overwhelmingly
Republican, and Republican in the most
heated and acrimonious sense OF the term.
To profess devotion to Democratic principles
in that Commonwealth was to do so IN the
face of an opposition that tested the strength
Of the convictions Of the person 50 protesting
them. Republican and Democrat stood IN
the keenest sntagonism as representatives OF
two parties that had no point in common.
Times. however, have now undergone
far-reaching change. 4 new party has arisen
procaming its allegiance to principles which
have hitherto only been entertained by sects
which were founded wholly upon an enarchi-
cal and socialistic basis. Against this party,
tho Democrats and Republicans of Kansas
have risen up by an impulse common to both.
and, sinking all political differences. have.
like men who believe that the essential inter-
ests of society are at stake, announced their in
iention 10 act in unity until the common
enemy has been finally overthrown.
The ascendency of the Alliance in Kansas
would curtail the material prosperity of the
State. even if it would not strike a serious
blow at the existence Of IN ordered and con-
servatiye government in that Commonwealth.
Nowhere have the members of the Alliance
pressed their doctrines further than i'll Kan
sas Nowhere is there a moro urgent need
Of combination of all citizens who
disapproye of influences that can
lead only to strife and turmoil among classes.
For that reason the temporary local union Of
tho two old parties in Kansas will receive the
endorsement of the friends of stable and en-
lightened government in every part Of the
United States irrespective of previous politi-
cal affiliations

TRADE REVIVAL.

The outlook for good trade this fall is very
satisfactory. The New York papers report a
remarkable revival in the jobbing trade in
That city during the past week. and this IS
looked upon as tho beginning of large and
healthy fall business. All the conditions are
regarded as favorable for a new term Of
mercantile prosperity, Us crops are reported
to be abundant beyond all precedent. while
the speculative value of railroad properties is
increasing from week to week, and there is no
lack of loanable funds for any legitimate pur-
pose.
The New ~ ork World says that the state
of the money market there is, Of course,
largely dependent on the feeling in Europe.
That has undergone aremarkable change FOR
was i'll South America. where the origin OF the
recent financial trouble was to be found.
But even before the news was received of q
restoration of peace in Chill the crisis was
held in London and Paris to be past. There
has been no tangible revival of confidence in
the Argentine Republic or elsewhere in that
part of the continent. and a collapse of the
apprehended. But if liquidation has not run
its course in South America its effect has at
least been measured and provided for. and
South American securities have advanced.
The Government report giving the condi-
ton Of the crops at the close of last month
shows that tho crop is one of the best ever
made. and as the weather has been very
favorable for the past two weeks the present
condition is still more encouraging Con-
corning this the New York Herald says:
Foreign spectators who overloaded them
selves in the recent crazy boom weref forced
to throw their burden on the markets, there
by producing such low prices at Liverpool as
for time stopped purchases here Yester-
day, however there was renewed buying in
this market for export. Europe needs our
breadstuns and must have them.
with assured agricultural prosperity as a
foundation. trade is naturally improving all
over the country. The great industries are
on satisfactory basis. In Wall street they
are having resting spell. The recent pace
was too hot. prices advanced too fast, and
some stocks were hosted TO such figures 81
fully discount the improved conditions Of the
year"
From all this it looks as il the predictions
of those called optimists arc likely to be
realized. and that the coming year will be one
OF general prosperity.

THE GAMBLE's HILL FENCE.
The Street Committee Last Evening Ordered
IL to BE Removed.

IL to BE Removed.
The Committee on Grounds and Buildings
held their weekly meeting in the Office Of the
City Engineer last evening. Chairman Tay-
lor and Messrs Turpin. Ferguson. Houston
and Brander answered TO the rOll-call.
A petition was presented from residents on
south Third ana south Fourth streets asking
for the removal of the fence recently erected
at CANDLES Hill Park
Major Brander moved that the petition be
granted. He explained that he was some
what responsible for the fence but he had
been under the impression that different
fence and a stairway would be constructed
Colonel Cutshaw took the ground that the
petition should be rejected. The fence had
been placed there 10 prevent the people from
crossing the lawn and making a FOOT ath across:
and besides. it was intended 10 plant a hedge
around the plot, and II was advisable TO have
the fence retained until the hedge was about
two and half feet high In order that tho
committee could act intelligently on the
subject he suggested that the commit bet
ter go ont there and inspect the premises.
Dr. 1reylllian appeared on behalf of the res
idents Of that locality and advocated the re-
moval OF the fence
Chairman Taylor thought that tho fence
was somewhat unsightly. but that Major
Brander was at fault. for the matter had been
left TO him by the committee. and that ne had
peen absent Tor several meetings. while the
fence was IN the course of construction
Mr.. Turpin moved to have the matter laid
over for one week The motion was lost and
the original motion was carried by vote of
tO2
Mr. Turpin thought that the minority had
not been treated fairly and that they should
have been enabled 10 look at the fence before
the final vote was taken
On motion Of Mr.. Turpin repairs were
ordered to the roof of the Second police
station house. amounting 10 $50.

A Demand that TI.y be Closed According 10

Editor of The Times:
II must DO generally known tina, there are
several gambling dens open in this city, ana
these dens are frequented both by minors ana
their seniors in age These dens have all the
low and debasing features about them tnat
other gambling dens have.
They allure young men and fill their heads
full of everything else but their business.
They create in them desire TO gamoie Whic1
becomes passion or disease, as urihh anu
other evils become by being INDUCED. IL
strings the nerves UP to that excitement and
tension which il is necessary TO keep up tue
more IL IS INDUCED in
Ifa Young man wins he is sure TO return 10
these dens with the hope OF winning more:
If he loses he goes to them with the nope Oh
getting even. Many times he Dorrows money
from friends in the hope OF winning JUN
what he has lost and OF being able 10 return
the money he has borrowed lie drnts IN
debt. and he will resort TO anything 70 get
money to gamble, always IN the hope OF VIII
ming back what he has lost.
II is easy to be seen how young man can
be lost to all honorable and CONSCIENTIOUS
scruples by visiting these dens.
The LANGUAGE he hears at them destroys
every germ OF moral training, and leaves MN
almost void of honor.
Our laws are strongly against gambling and
vet these dens are kept open in the most pub
lie manner in the face OF day.
Why is this?
Whose fault is il that our laws are not eI-
.cuted. WHY does Justice sleep while such
hugh evils stalk abroad:

M,JoR MCKINLEY tells the Ohio farmers

gress in three places in that State that one
near lronton Is going 10 turn out" 80
boxes a day. and that at some time in the
future 80. 900 mon will be employed in making
tin plate" These promises are something like
those Mckinley made TO the Ohio wool men
about the price OF their wool being sent I'd
by the Mckinley tariff. Yet wool has been
steadily going down ever since the tariff bill
became law and the promises Of American
tin seem 10 be about as foundationless as
those of high wool.
In the meantime, while McKinley's visions
are not even being slowly materialized. the
people are being taxed $4,000 900 for their
tin plate.
