Turkey is at present the danger point of European politics. The so-called Young Turks having secured con- stiIutional government, proceeded to put such alleged reforms into effect as have angered the army and brought about the organiza ton of a so-called Liberal party which, with the aid of the army, has turned the young Turks out and themselves in. It is ever difficult to ascertain Turkish mo- tives, and therefore it may not be true, as stated, that the main cause of the army's dissatisfaction was the order allowing Christians to serve therein in stead of paying a heavy tax for ex- enption.
 Tie present question is whether Tur- key is to become liable to such ire quent governmental changes as will permit other powers to interfere in its affairs. If so, the long predicted par tition of Turkey may be a matter of the comparatively near future.

The Romantic Air of Frisco.

San Francisco is permeated with an air of romance and adventure. No where may one turn without being re- minded Of the legends that have been woven around the forty miners and their immediate followers. The names of the streets and of the business blocks, such as Kearney, Sutter, Mont gomery, Dupont, Flood, Crocker and Sharon, bring to the mind of the visitor long forgotten stories of riot or adven- ture and of fortunes whose vastness once excited his wonder or made him incredulous. To read the words that are painted upon the street cars of San Francisco is to be carried back in fan cy to the time when the city was peo- pied only by those who, having turned from all else that men hold dear, had gone in search of fortune and found it, always just as they were about to give up in despair and die of starvation or succumb to the hardships with which human endurance could no longer cope.

It is now predicted that the tariff bill will go to the President for appro- val or disapprova1 on or about May z5th. If the Democratic Senators were disposed to obstruct it's passage, they could, under the Senate rules, prevent final action for several months, but they assert an intention to allow as speedy action as is consistent with a fair revelation of the measures incon- eistencies and wrongs, which are in deed numerous. Industrial resumption IS awaiting final action anxiously, not so much on account of rates of duty as of a certainty in rates. There is ex- ceIIent reason to believe that Ameri- can industries can care for themselves under any tariff conditions; there are very few infants but many giants among them.
