Central Asia-CabuI.

The New York correspondent Of the
Washington Union. contans the following
interesting account of Cabul its resources
and position. 1t will play an important
part in Asatic trade and policy:
'England is giving her thoughts at this
time TO the establishment Of new colonies.
and this in Cabul. the Indus being the nat
ural highway between Central Asia and
the rest of the world. and the only praci
cable exit for the productions of a portion
of the earth's surface as large as the west
ern continent of Europe. Cabul is the key
to this navigation on the side of afghan
istan, Bokbara, and Independent Tartary;
everything that goes down the Indus from
these districts must pass through this great
entrepot. The climate is fully as we'll cal
culated for British residents as the Cape.
or as Australia. and the soil. lying at from
six to seven thousand feet above the level
OF the sea, yields all the products of the
temperate zone. The value of Jellalabad
may be regarded as continuation of the
vale of Cashmeres, on the opposite bank
of the Indus. and proverbial for its salubri-
ty. May moi the destiny of the peninsular
part Of India be outlined in the fact that
its climate prohibits anything like perma-
nent European civilization? The children
of European parents born there are un-
healthy. and, If not sent home to be brought
up in a more congenial climate. die off 5

is not natural or safe state OF things; the

State Convention.


AS there seemed to be considerable dif
ference in opinion among the Democratic
papers of the State in reference to the pro-
priety of calling a convention to nominate
School Commissioner. justice to the State
Central Committee requires fuller state
ment of the reasons which prompted their
action than we gave yesterday.
One great reason why the committee
were unwilling to take upon themselves the
nomn alton of this officer-was, that they
had no authority or color of authority for
that purpose. No such power is delegated
TO them. 1t might be necessary in case of
the death of a nominee Immediately be-
fore an election. for the committee to ass
necessity would justify it. The Democrat
ic party are a jealous party. AS they love
their usages and principles. so are they
jealous OF any Infringement Of them. No
usage will sanction such a course in
State Central Committee. Democrats are
not willing to establish a usage which
would give color to the charge of cliques
The nomination of this Commissioner
would be precedent for the nomin alton
of Governor; and certainly not all the
Governors since 1909. as was well re-
marked in committee, have had half the
power in,rusted to this School Comuiss
ioncr.
In the summer Of 1850. Col. MILLER was
nominated for the Board of Public Works.
by convention called during the sum
mer. The convention was we'll attended
and harmonious. If precedents' have any
binding force this would preclude the
committee from following any other course.
There was no feasible step tor the COM
mittee between the nomination by them
selves and by convention The COM
mitee considered all the plans suggested
for referring the subject to county commit
tees and county conventions. Not only
was there danger thus, in sighting the
work but from the numerous candidates
in different sections, it was feared that no
one could receive majority of all the
votesa Hence there would be risk and
uncertainty attending this mode, which.
considering the Importance Of the Office.
the committee did not wish to exist
All the objections 10 convention were
considered candidly, and for the welfare
of the party The convention is called
for one object only. 1t was believed that
racy would suffer nothing TO disturb its
present union and strength that the con-
ven,ion would be full enough to give spiri,
to the campaign. and earnest enough up
on the subject the School Commissioner,
to insure as large vote, if not larger
one for the office than any other.
