OUR TRADE WITH TURKEY.
A Direct Line of Steamships Is Said
to BE Necessary.

The State Department gave out for pub
lication yesterday a report from Consul
Dickinson, at Constantinople, in reference
to the need of direct communication be-
tween this country and Turkey.
The paper states that a direct line of
steamships between New York or Phila-
delphia and Mediterranean and Black Sea
ports, lies at the threshold. of the whole
question of extending American trade
with Turkey. There Is no other OBJ
stacle in the way. but American
manufactures and products ought not to
have to compete with English and Ger
man goods If compelled to bear the extra
charges. as well as loss by breakage, in
cident to trans-shipment at some Eu-
ropean port.
1t appears from the consular invoices
that the goods sent through consular Of
fees are amply sufficient to furnish all
the freight that semi-monthly line of
steamers could carry on their westward
trips. These, too. are shipments direct to
the United States, and do not include the
large shipments made to London and
| there sold and trans-shipped to America
which would be likely to go by a direct
line If one were running.

"f1idway Plaisance." !"

The success of the Midway Plais- ance" at the various expositions, has induced the formation of itinerant troupes. Such an one struck our town last Monday in the shape of three men. two women, six or eight bears, an ape. a ring-tail monkey. dogs galore and children innumerable. Not having the wlerewithal to procure license, during the negotiations for reduction. the women paraded the streets with the monkey, appealing to the pockets of the rich with the supplication of ''See mon- key clim' pole; up to top, down agin- nickel" and at the same time begging and accepting anything from cold big cult to boiled ham.
 Having proved equal to the Spanairds as diplomats, the protocol was signed reducing the license, and Wednesday afternoon they spread their rugs be- heath the willows in the park. The bears danced and wlestled, the monkey and ape ''cime de pole, etc." the dogs and children quarreled, and the aero bats tumbled. accompanied by the clas- sical music of the ''Streets of Cairo, D to the delight of goojly number of spectators.

Every one imagined the bear was on his or her heels The bear was secured, and in summing up the killed and wounded, they were considerably less than at Dewey's victory at Manila. It was a miracle how the crowd escaped injury.

Those who imagine that tho people are not thinking for them selves make a serious mistake, and those who think the people are still influenced by ''ancient adages addressed to Uncle Sam while in his swaddling clothes" know little of what is going on around them.

 pickets 10 the armies of Grant, Lee and Forrest. Had the result of the battle of Manila Bay been reversed, and Dewey's fleet gone to the bottom, the seizure of Hawaii by the Spaniards would
 have quickly followed, and could they have reasonably fortified It., a small, swift fleet issuing there from could have swept our com mcrce from the Pacific and have levied contribution upon our entire western coast.
