to have said at Washington: II dc
not propose to introduce or support
any measure calculated to embarras:

the truth touching most of the soft.

Madrid, Dec. 7.-Congress hal
passed the press bill.

LAHORE, Dec. THE reply Of the
Ameer Of Afghanistan t. the Viceroy
of midas ultimatum has been recejv-
ed by the Indian government. It il
believed, In official quarters, to have
been rewritten after the capture of
Ali Muejid. The Ameer criticises the
protested friendly intention of the
British government and alludes to its
action in the past and especially lite
intercession in behalf Of Yakoob
Khan ~ contradictory Of such inten-
ton. The Ameer explains that his
refusal to receive Gen. Sir Neville
Chamberlain mission was not in .
tended to be hostile but arose from
tho fear Of the loss Of his indepeud-
ence, an apprehension which was
confirmed by sllusion In the ultima
tum to protection being given to
Khyberees who had been engaged in
escorting the mission. The Ameer
declares that no enmity exists betw cen
Afghanistan and the British govern
ment and that he desires to resume
the former friendly relations and I'm
ally that he will not resist the visit of
. small temporary mission.

awful fate Of his wife, who, near

The County Ticket.

ANOTHER MAN GIVES HIS VIEWS.
Mr.. Editor AS Republican voter
who considered the action of our recent
county convention extremely unwise
and injudicious, desire to say that the
suggestions of your correspondent "B"
in last weeks CaledOnian seem to me to
be exactly in line with the public de-
mand and public duty.
If can Judge at all of public senti-
ment, there is a general demand for
concerted and strong action against the
majority of the ticket nominated by
that convention. Judging in part from
my own town, which is not the largest
nor by any means the smallest in the
county, as well as what l learn from
representative men in other sections of
the county, l am satisfied that the OBJ
iectionable names on the regular ticket
can and will be defeated by large
majority. Respectable men with the
public interest at stake are not disposed
to be governed by few managing and
trading politicians. The basis of civil
service reform rests upon the theory
that faithful and competent officers
shall not be removed merely because
some one else wants place. And that
when a change is made, experience and
fitness for the position shall be required
in the new candidate.
Yet it is now proposed to remove a
states attorney who has had but one
term, who has enforced the liquor law
to the satisfaction of the temperance
people, and has conducted all the affairs
of the Office with such vigor and efficien-
cy as to receive the appreciation of all
friends of order and safety in the COM
munity, simply to give the place to a
fresh convert ~ to the temperance
cause. A man of little experience in
law of any kind and none in criminal
matters. Besides, while side Judges
and senators can properly be chosen
from any part of the county, the states
