COMMENTS ON CURRENT THINGS.
An offer of women warriors from Baroda is the
newest sensational item t intell'gence in the st,t.,
of pr varations for conflict as to the rights ot the
Afghan frontier. We trust these wouid-be suoces-
sore of the Amazons will not, however ibe wenteil

mik

MEM

to assist us in any pcssible hostilities with Russia. I
If, uuhappily, all our statesmanly endeavours toe
avoid the horrors of a sanguinary conflict should
p-ove futile. the English idea will still be distinctly
averse to the employment of women in war for
other than ministerial purposes. The Dowager Mah-
arani of Baroda, thou2h her zeal in Britannia's cause
is laudable, is not a wnman of correct taste, and
hence her willingness to run to the rescue of Indias
Empress fails to In:let with the appreciation it would
otherwise desvrve •

Ere long the sixpenny telegram will be swiftly
tray rsi,.; the wi e : and to smooth down all op-
po-ition, we find our exceedingly politic Postmaster
General has, to some extent moderated the announ-
cement that the naint-s of sender and addressee
w, uld be charged under the nPw arrangement. The
receiver's full description and addre-s have still,
however, it seems, to be set forth at the cost of the
sender; and as any delay in delivery will deubtless
be charged if possible, to insufficient direction, we
may still stigmatise the nominally cheap new tele-
gram as not at all less costly than its predecessor
for general purposes of commu&cation If the
sender's de.criplioo as a purely private matter, ad
been charged, and the recivor's aPcepted free, thed
that would h eve proved a public boon ; but the
shillimr telegram would thereby have found its oc-
cupation gone. hence an impassable gulf internoses
between the sixpenny mssage and its double-priced
foregoer.

Ir is Well that we have a house of Commons
3elic: Cammittea enquiring into the matter of
provident assurance. Th. re are in existence asso-
ciations for a curing the contributions of woiiking
which are far from certain of p....,viding for
him that fortification against an indigent old age
wi.ich he is fondly looking for, It may be hoped
that the labours of this Committee will wipe out
iiltoget her insecure and insolvent d pro' ident
Visurance societie, and turn the attentiou of the
toilers, eithet to an accredited and well-establisheo
association which Unites no tale c.intest or money-
making speculation with its business, or to a COM-
prehensive scheme of Governmental ass .a.ance. And
when this is done, other life assur,nce
which draw heavy annual premiums from a struggling
middle-class, and still aro not, financially speaking,
beyond suspicion, may fittingly receive Parliament-
ary attention.

iS to he hoped that the heavy sentence inflicd !
the other day upon the two dynamite treason-felons
will have some salutary effect on the lawless and
d,:spicable combinations that secretly plan the
turible outrages which so shock the civilised
world. So subtly bad this conspiracy been conduc ed
,hat the police were only able to complete their
long link of convincing evidence against Cunning-
liana and Burton by the exercise of untiring vigilance
cudixpe-ienced skill of the highest detective order.
rhe question which suggests itself to the average
r..a,der's mind is—Whwe does the heavy cost of de-
fe iding the convicts so ably come from? The State
lid not provide it. Moving out of sight in the
backzround are some poweifut monied persons who
are more—aye, mu in more guilty conspirators—
rhan the p ,or tools corisigne to penal servitude
For life. Until the influential money-finders are
placed at th., bar, side by side with their deluded
catspaws. t'ais agitation of murder and dynamite
will pxc' e

worship. We Englishmen are enthusiastic, un-
doobtedly, by fits and starts. Only a little while
tgo we were stirred to the innermost heart by the
3tory of the grand soldier-Christian's heroic defence
of Khartoum, and plunged in the depths of grief
by the tidings of his untimely death. We collected
lonic for a national monument to his memory, and
ere the scheml is consummated we have grown in-
iitierent and half-hearted in the task. The sub-
nniLition fund for s4i,utilisin,g the memory of this
uig among men seems somehow to have come to a
remature close. Still, a large sum was collected
while Gor on yet stood first in the minds of the
and we would like to see the money ex-
oded in some useful ii anner, widch would at once
' ,i,onfer benefit on such of the suffering as would

suggesoi ns as to what tom such a naional
dferolg should shape itself into have been made,
ut u-ne. We think, likelier to be of more approiai-

reached him. And to-day no man knows where Lis
ashes lie, and no one has moved to give them
