The Koorum, Kuram, Khorum, or
Khurum Valley, in which the chief
fighting of the Anglo Afghan war thus
far has occurred, is the only one of the
three lines of advance not made use of
in the previous invasions of Afghanis,
tan. The Pisheen Pass, on the south,
leading from Qnettah in the direction of
Candahar, and the Khyber Pass, leading
from Peshawur by Ali Musjid toward Je.
lalabad, and SO on to Cabul, were both
familiar in 1889; but the route taken by
Gen. Roberts's column from Kohat to
Thull, through the Khurum Valley, and
by the Khurum fort to Piewar which
was lately captured, and thence to the
more strongly fortified Shutargardan, so
threatening Cabul from the south, was
not tried in the earlier campaign. Curl
ously enough, each of the three columns
had about the same force 10 start with

Major Gen. Roberts, in the Khurum
army, 5,776. But the reserves of the

A SAMPLE OF PROTECTION.

There died recently in Philadelphia a
gentleman whose estate was estimated at
$10,0OO,OO0, and whose annual income
had been $750,O00. He was the senior
member OF firm of manufacturing
chemists which has been in existence
for many years, The founders of the
concern discovered process for manu-.
facture of quinine, which at that time
was known only to a few French chem.
lists. This discovery was the starting
point of their prosperity. By posses
sion of this knowledge they were able to
manufacture quinine, and, while selling
it cheaper than the European article,
make a fair profit. But the competition
of the French chemists kept their prices
down to moderate figure, which did not
suit them-the profit was not big enough
So they obbed around the halls of Con-
gress until they got protective duty put
on quinine, which should have the ef-
feet of keeping out the foreign article.
They they we're all right; they had mo-
nopoly, and could put on what price they
pleased There we're thousands Of peo-

the expense of the fever stricken West.
ern sections. Had there been no pro.
lection, the sick man would have got his
quinine cheaper, but the manufacturer
would not have had his annual income
of $750,0OO. This is a good sample of the
beneficial effects of a paternal Govern
ment, which undertakes to foster one
persons interests at the expense of some
other persons pocket.-LOndOn, Canada

SOME 10000 Democrats were disfran'
chised in Philadelphia at the late elec-
tion on account of non.payment of taxes,
The Americus Club is about to take the
matter in hand and will undertake to
raise $4,000 for the payment Of the
taxes of INDECENT voters. The payment
of this sum will enfranchise $4,000 voters
for two pears so far as the tax qualifCa.
tion is concerned. The Republican COM
mittees, it is ascertained, operated this
way in Philadelphia during the recent
canvass: The names of the residents of
an election precinct were filled in the
stubs of the tax collectors books and the
receipts issued in blank. The money
was paid in the County Treasury upon
the names borne upon the stubs which
of course satisfied the Controller that eV-
erything was regular. The blank re-
Ceipts were then issued on election day.
by filling in the names of such persons
as required them. In this way probably
$4,000 votes we're secured for the Repub-
lican ticket which otherwise would have
been lost.

THE Toronto Telegram breaks out in
this highly disloyal fashion about the
absurd court etiquette introduced by the
new Governor General: "These at
tempts to plaster monarchiCal customs
upon a country that is essentially Dem
ocratic will do more to undermine the
kindly feelings of the people toward the
new Governor General and his wife
than anything else that could have hap
pened. \ And if his (Lorne's)
term of Office is to be characterized by
tom.foolery, of which the orders con-
cerning drivers in boots and buttons,
and ladies in low.necked dresses, are
samples, the shorter it is the better"

SOME people suppose that the question
now before the Supreme Court Of this
State for decision, involving the
constitutionality of several late acts
of the General Assembly, creating sddi-
tional subdivisions ofCommon Pleas dis
tricts, also involves Judge Meyer in this
district This is an error. The act Crea
ting Stark county a separate judicial sub
division created it the first subdivision of
the ninth district, and made Carroll and
Columbiana the fourth subdivision, 1T
seems the question raised is as to the
constitutionality Of creating a fourth sub.
division, it being claimed that the Con-
stitution only allows of three subdivis-
ions in judicial districts. Judge Meyer
in an article published in the Repository
of Tuesday, to correct Erroneous state
ments" of that paper in an article few
days before, gives full statement of the
case, and also states it as his opinion,
that the various acts creating fourth sub
divisions are entirely constitutional,
The Judge says;
"In this controversy the queer thing
is, that in the third judicial district of
Ohio, there has been fourth subdivis-
ion composed of the counties of Seneca,
Hancock, Wyandot, Crawford, Marion
and Wood, established by act of the leg
islature, under the same constitution,
which has existed fer over sixteen years.

several citizens of Williamsburg county,

Blaine represent in his present crusade
Not the people of Maine, for at the last
election eleven voters out of every twenty
voted against him and his party. Not
the Republican party, for at its last con

certain to be disastrous, aud there was 8
stampede to name Hayes lest Blaine
might be chosen. Not the North, for al
the last election only forty.seven voters

BLAINE has transferred the interest Of
the bulldozing question from the South
to the North. From Carolina to Massa-
chusetts. His audacious assertion that
in the late election in Massachusetts not
one case can be found in which voter
did not have the fullest, fairest, freest OPP
portunity to cast the ballot Of his choice,
will be thoroughly tested by the facts
before the country. 1t excited something
like CONSERVATION among the Massachu'
setts men who heard it made, and on
the spot one case was cited of a manufac'
turer employing several hundred opera
tives, who ordered them all to bring their
dinner pals and remain within the mill
throughout the day to complete certain
piece of work. When several iDsolent
workmen ventured to suggest that an
election was to be held, and that they
ought to 20 out and vote, which could be
done in half an hour, the capitalist re-
piled that, "election or no election, no
imam who went out of the mills on that
''day need take the trouble to return,

BLAINE's sPEECH BOILED DOWN.
Mr.. Blaine's speech last week was SEN
sational, He is clever man, and can
make telling speech any day; but his
present effort is susceptible of condensa-
ton. The whole of it may be put in two
short paragraphs, thus:
I. The policy Of the Republican party
since the war, and especially the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, forced through by Republican
yo.es and Republican management, by
which amendment the emancipated ne
groes of the South were endowed with
the right of voting without probation or
education, though warmly supported by
me (Blaiue) at the time, and though Tor
great period subservient to the brlgand
operation of Republican carpet-baggels
in the South, are now proving them
selves exceedingly unfavorable to tfe
continuance in power of the Republican
party, and exceedingly inconvenient to
Republican politicians.
II. This amendment to the Constitu'
ton cannot be repealed or altered; and
the consequences of this Republican pol
icy cannot be escaped. But we can make
speeches against these consequences,an and
can endeayor thereby to make at the
North an amount of political capital o.
which we Republicans are Low desper
ately in need.
This is not as howery and fine as Mr.
Blaines speech, but the substance il

Struck Down In the senSte--An Alleged Act Of
RetributlOa.
A private telegram, dated Lima, Nov.
18th, confirms the assassination of Don
Manuel Pardo, formerly President of
Peru and President of the Senate. The
details of the tragedy received are very
meagre, but it is stated that on entering
the Senate in order to discharge his inn
portant duties, he was stricken down by
an assassin. The event was not alto
gether unexpected. During his admin
isfratiOn he was particularly severe on
those who, from any cause, fell under his
displeasure. Several offenders he ban
ished across the Cordilleras 10 a settle
ment on the head waters of the ANA"
zon. The soldiers who conducted them
and guarded them on their arrival there
had distinct orders to shoot any who at
tempted to escape. The severity Oftheir
confinement, the sickliness Of the local
ity and its awful loneliness drove several
of the prisoners mad. They attempted
to escape, and we're, according to orders,
shot down. tits stated that their friends
have watched for an opportunity to be
revenged, and that the dark deed of the
10Th was the accomplishment Of that
bloody purpose No disturbance follow
ed the assassination, and the country
generally is at peace.
