The "Sick Man's- New Ally.

The peace of Europe is again disturbed
by the possibility of an alliance between
Russia and Turkey, the hereditary enemies,
and the natural resentment of Great
Britain over such en- arrangement. The
statement that a treaty has been signed
by the Gar and the Sultan has not
been confirmed, and it may prove to be
inaccurate, but the thrill of excitement fol-
lowing its announcement indicates that the
government at London is apprehensive
that such a development may be expected
at any time as result of the recent efforts
to check the Armenian masSacres. 1t has
long been suspected that the Sultan's con-
tinued refusals to take any practical and
effective steps looking to an abatement of
the Armenian horrors were inspired by
Russia. To be sure Russia has hitherto
been repeatedly checked in her efforts to
crush the Sultan, to divide his dominions
among the adjacent lowers, TO keep the
lions share herself and to obtain control
of the eastern water gate of Europe. In
the past these endeayors have aroused the
active jealousy of the rest of Europe, and
in 1854 England and France joined the
Sultan in a war in which Russia was
forced back. Again in 1873 the powers
interviewed to prevent Russia from dis
Numbering conquered Turkey. But since
then a change has come over the political
aspect of Europe. The Cars domnions
aud power have grown. lie has formed
alliances that are antagonistic to British
influence. France is now his partner III all
continental matters, and Germany. while
not enthusiastic in his behalf, is ugly to-
ward England. A coalition such as that
which terminated the Crimean war in
favor of the Turk Is now impossible. 1t
is conceded in short. that Russia's star is
in the ascendant, and the Car is today
more dreaded by the Sultan than any other
European monarch, or any possible eombi-
nation of powers. 1t is easy to under
stand why Abdul Hamid should be dis
posed TO turn in this hour of his emergency
to the nation that has ever sought to wipe
Turkey from the map of Europe. On the
one hand he sees constant strife, secret
understandings. unavowed and unend orse1
arrangements. leading to the almost GER
tain death of Turkeys autonomy. On the
other Eand is comparative peace, bought
by the promise TO open the Dardanelles to
Russia and to close the straits to other
powers in case of war. a surrender of the
chief Jewel III his diadem. but the pur-
chase of the strongest ally Europe can
afford. England sees in the compact a
threat against her occupation of Egypt
pulsior from the Nile and her loss of the
SHez canal. She awaits the day of reckon
ing when Russia shall invite her into AT
anti-British campaign for the sake of The
sick man When will it come?

from street south to street north, In
exchange for Its present right to maintain
on 9Th street only two tracks to be put
as near together In the middle Of the street
as possible and showing fiat rails like
those used by street railways 50 as to ia
cilitate wagon and carriage travel over the
same" 1t substitutes modern approaches
for the antiquated and inadequate provision
of existing law. G) Most important of ali.
the removal Of the grounds of public hostil-
ity founded on the present condition of Long
Bridge, and the no-thoroughfare belt of
surface tracks along Maryland and Vir-
ginia avenues and 9Th street, will, In eff
feet. cause the temporary grant of right Of
way from Virginia avenue to the free sta
ton site on the Mall to become permanent.
1t will then be impossible to loosen the
railroads grip upon the park. The value
of this benefit to the railroad Is almost
inc alculable. Some time ago Senator In
gals estimated the value of the mall privi-
leges, for which the railroad would have
to pay elsewhere, as at least half million
dollars. They are worth more now. This
estimate indicates only the pecuniary value
of the acquisition. and allows nothing for
the injury and practical destruction of the
continuous park from the Capitol to the
ned and which is necessary as an in-the-
city breathing place for those who have
neither the means nor the time for a
suburban outing. If the city's magnifi-
cent original plan is to be permanently
altered and disfgured for the railroad s
benefit let the latter pay handsomely for
this Dissertation, as well as for its land
grants. If the esthetic. sentimental and
sanitary considerations which plead for
the uninterrupted mall of L'Enfants plan
are to be buried beyond hope of resurrec-
ton, and the issue is reduced to the bust
ness-like question Of dollars and cents let
the dollars and cents OF compensation also
be eXacted on strictly business principles.
II part of the city's birthright is to be
disposed of for a mess of pottage, let those
who are responsible for the transfer at
least see to 1t that the municipal stomach
| enjoys every particle of pottage justly due.
The railroads direct gain, when the tenn
porary loan of its mall privileges becomes
| permanent gift, will be so vast that,
without the aid of the other items EMU
| merated, it will be sufficient to outweigh
| any claim against the District on account
! of the abolition of grade-crossings.
This is a brief statement of the District
| side OF the case and it should be fairly con-
| sidered by the railroad and Congress in
reaching an agreement as to division OF
! expense between corporation and munich
pality. Washington. however, wants grade
i crossings and Long Bridge abolished, ana
| it is willing to pay considerably more than
| it justly should III order to be rid of It's
| death traps and its bridge menace to life
and property. To get the bill through Con
gress the proposed appropriation of public
money must not be large, and on this ac
count also it is hoped that the railroad will
| be reasonable and liberal

An Ineorrfgible Case.
They say you were not in society's swim,
oh, Benjamin Franklin, for shame!
That your family crest was a little too
dim
To delight a Colonial Dame"
You couldn't have rolled up those trousers
SO short
When London was spattered with dew;
And you kept on your hat when presented
at court
Hence, Benjamin Franklin; go to!
And even if now you were given chance
Would you do the right thing and array
Yourself as you should; send monocled
glance
Over a mountainous mass of bouquet?
Nay, nay; such reform 'twere TOO much to
expect.
We know very well what you'd do.
Midst your books you would smile. though
cotillions were wrecked
Hence, Benjamin Franklin; so to!
They say that in letters you did great
work;
That proverbs and such things you
penned;
That duty's command you were ne'er
known to shirk;
That you ranked as humanitys friend
But never a writer Of history quotes
You as author Of fine billets doux:
And your paper contained no Society
