NOT THAT KIND OF TURKEY.

There seems TO be tacit, or perhaps
definite understanding ON the part of
England. France, Russia and Austria
that they are soon to take full posses
sion OF Turkey with all her appurten-
ances. 1t has even been stated that
the sultan's dominion has been divided
up and parcelled out to the four great
powers by lines and boundaries already
understood. Such arrangement seems
TO figure well ON paper, and there would
be, no doubt, much felicitation ON the
part of this new international quartet
at so sudden an acquisition Of territory,
but for the homely reason that Jack
failed to eat his supper, the affair has
thus far not been consummated. First
catch your hare prefaces many an I'M
dertaking in this world. In this in
stance it is a Turkey, but the analogy
holds, and it is quite essential in this
case, at least, to wing the Ottoman
bird before the carving process begins.
The natural query arises: how is the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and parceling out of
white and dark meat-of legs, wings
and gizzard, to take place while the
game is on the wing? There are plenty
of people to believe that the banquet
may go on when the fowl has been
bagged, dressed, roasted and served,
but in practical age like this there
seems an assumptions something al
together too previous in the plans for
this quadrangular spread.
1.-The powers" may know what they
are doing, but if they have reckoned
that the barbarous Turk will lie down
without a struggle, awed by threats, or
intifidated by numbers, they are sadly
mistaken. He may be a barbarian, but
he is not coward. as evidenced by
the sultan's late injunction to these
powers to mind their own business.
Such bravado is not exhibited by a
ruler who has neither the means of de-
Tense nor the backing Of a fighting
soldiery, hence when this great scheme
of addition. division and silence"
takes place it is fair to presume the
Turk will be there

RESUBMISSION.
Leayenxorth Times.

From the Leavenworth Times.
| Resubm1Ssion is a question which will
no longer down This should have been
| accepted years ago. No section of the
| community has more at stake than the
/ Prohsbitionists, and yet they have per-
ststently fought every effort in that di-
recHon. and still insist on SO doing.-and
upon the ground that they have every
thing to make and nothing to lose
| Prohibition Is now nowhere enforced
where local option would not equally avail;
| and elsewhere 1t is worse than dead
| bstter. In Leavenworth and Atchison I'M
authorized license prevails; in Topeka
nothing prevails, and in Wichita anarchy
prevails.
What do the ultra-temperance people
get out of this condition of things-except
irritation? And what reason have they
10 expect anything better?
They say, and have the authority of law
for it, that Prohibition is as much the law
as any other law, and its enforcement just
as much the duty of the public officials.
But this does not answer the question.
Whisky has become social evil prob
lem, and as such its restraint does not
stand on the footing of recognized crime.
When the open-saloon has been threaten
ed, clubs have sprung up, or as in the
case of Wichita. defiance Of law is in
augurated.
A few years ago the Prohibftory law
was at least respected, and that was when
it's advocates should have consented to
resubmission There has been a time
since when Prohibition was stronger than
at the time of its adoption, and that was
when its supporters could safely have
consented to another vote. ut had been
adopted by a small margin, and by
minority vote. and at the best has never
mad firm basis.
If again submitted and readopted- there
would be an end to opposition on the
ground that public sentiment was against
the law; and il voted down there could
be no further claim that pubic sentiment
demanded its enforcement Either the
law might then be enforced, or 1t would
become dead-leeter; and either would
be better than present conditions. Now
one side has the law, and the other APP
parentIy public sentiment against the law;
and as social evil question no law can
be enforced ag ainst public sentiment.
Just what the true situation is. is not
for US to say. There is only one way to
settle it, and 1T cannot be done too soon.
Either the temperance men should active
" aid in its enforcement or stop scolfing
about its non Increment, and go'to work
TO prepare pubic sentiment for vote
which Will once for all settle whether
Prohibition is practical remedy.
1t is said that reforms never go back
wards; and in this Prohibition may have
an advantage, but it has reached the
point where II will no longer stand alone;
and its friends should appreciate the SIT
uatFon without further delay.

Ever song of ocean seemed 20 sing.
Ever tale OF ocean seemed 10 tell.

One song 1t sang

In 1883 and in 1892 the presidential
vote in toto was about the same, but in
the recent state election the total vote
was 1900 greater than the larger pres
idential vote In the recent state cleo
ton the Populists and PrOhibitionists
lost about 10000 votes from their nor
mai strength. The Populist detection
| evidently went to the free silver Dem
ocratic candidate rather than to the
goldbug Republican candidate for gov
ernOr. 1t can then be said with dis
| erection that at least 10000 Democrats
who voted for Cleveland before voted
the Republican ticket this year, and
that many men who occupied the fence
and had not voted at all for years,
came down on the Republican side
The gOldbugs, always dictatorial,
of course hold that this immense
! change was due to the 'treachery of
Hardin" who refused to abide by his
| gold platform No such thing logic
| ally follows But it may be said truth
| fully that the finance question did
throw the votes plurality to the Re
| publicans and in this amusing way:
The war has drifted back into the
past over thirty years The recent cam
paign in Kentucky was one that was
engroSsed in an issue having nothing
whatever to do with the war or the
issue of the war or it's sentiments.
T,ittln alSa fhan no question Of finance
was discussed and the contest was bit
| terly fought out on those grounds. The
bloody shirt was neglected. The
fratercidal conflict of the past lay neg
lected and unmentioned. The fear of
negro domination" was not conjured
up. Anyone can see that the man who
had been a Democrat for years was
freed to a great extent from the preju-
dices and prejudicial arguments that
had held him in the Democratic party
for years. In common with the people
of the entire United States such a Dem
ocratic voter recognized the presence
of adversely and stringency in COM
merce and like all other Americans his
impulse, primarily, was to vote against
the party in power. 1t is probable
that that impulse could have been dis
sipated by the old "bloody shirt"
NEGRO domination arguments. But
those arguments were not used. The
prejudices of the Democrat were quies-
cent, and he followed out his original
impulse and voted the Republican
ticket
So in fact the ''solid south" has been
broken, and for all time to come. and
that by an accident, for it is not to
be supposed that the Republicans set
a trap for the Democrats by making
the financial issue dominant in the
campaign in order to obscure old preju-
diceS.
This must be the way in which the
solid south was broken at last. OF
course it would have been broken in a
fey more years anyhow. The war
as an issue has disSipated markedly in !
the last ten years and in another five
or six years would have passed away
almost entirely. The Intervention of
another siSue, which absorbed public |
attention TO the exclusion of the old
one, FASTENED the fracture in Kentucky !
and with the break made it is beyond |
the power of all the politicians in the |
south, or in al the world as for that
To repair it. as impossible as it was for |
all the kings horses and all the kings /
men to put Humpty-Dumpty together |
again.

Very few of us realize that perhaps
the last campaign ended the civil war
as an issue in political contests in this
country The absence of sectional DIT
terness, either in public demonstration
or in expression by campaign orators
passed by unnoticed, and the first no
tice the average man receives OF the
fact that "the chasm had been closed
is in studying the result in Kentucky,
where a Republican governor was
elected by this singular peculiarly, to-
wit: that the vote polled in Kentucky
this year is larger in toto than the votes
of either Of the two preceding presi-
dental campaigns, an astounding thing
in politics.
All of us know that dominant party
in a state has often lost a state in an
'off'' year through the disaffected MEM
bers Of its own party refusing to vote.
But few of us may point a precedent
where a dominant party lost through
an excessive or more than normal vote
in an ''off' year.
Following are the figures for the
last Kentucky election with the figures
of the two preceding presidential cleo
tons:

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
An Easy Matter to Float on the Surface Of
the Thick Water.

The Dead sea, or more properly the
Salt sea, is also called in Scripture the
sea of the Arabah; in the Apocrypa, the
Sodomitish sea;in the Talmudical books.
sea of Salt and sea Of SOdom. The
name Dead sea seems to have been first
used in Greek, and the Arabic name is
Bar Lut, or the sea of Lot. IL has
length varying from 40 to 46 miles and
is only about three miles across at its
broadcast part.
From the analysis Of the United States
expedition it appears that each gallon
of the water, weighing l214 pounds,
contains nearly 80 pounds (3.3l9) OF
matter in solution, an immense quantity
IN view of the fact that sea water,
weighing 1917 pounds per gallon, con-
tains less than one-half pound. OF this
81 pounds nearly a pound is common
salt Chloride Of sodium), about two
pounds chloride Of magnesium and less
than one-half pound chloride Of calcium
(rnuriate of lime). There does not ap-
pear to be anything about it inimical to
life, and the story Of recent tourist
confirms this. He says:
LAS for the Dead sea, it will, in con-
tradiction Of the name, forever preserve
a green and living memory in my mind
No fish can survive in il, we all know,
but for place for swim, Or, above all,
for float, commend me to it beyond all
the Winnepe5aukees in the world. How
it bears you up i'll arms! How it annihi-
lates the tiresome ponderOsity and dig
nifty of the laws of gravitation! How it
introduces you into the inner conscious
ness of dainty ariel and thistledom and
all other airy, fairy creatures! The more
you weigh the less you weigh. There is
the real hydrostatic paradox. An ele-
plant in the Dead sea would feel him
