According to Sir james F. Stephen, the
last eminent authority on India that has
addressed the British public, England is
not safe in the possession of her Indian
Empire unless her influence or power is
paramount in Afghanistan. England has
had Afghanistan beside her in that part of
the world for great while and still holds
on tenaciously to her Indian Empire never
theless it is now thought that, because of
some present differences in the relations of
Powers to one another in Asia, she will have
only her supineness to blame if presently
she loses India through her failure to help
herself to Afghanistan. People not dis
posed to accept all the reasons that are
given to them may, if they will, wonder
whether, when Afghanistan has been
added to the Indian Empire, the
safety of that Empire will require
that England should be similarly ''para-
mount" in Persia. and then in Anatolia.
and even Arabia. But it is now laid down
distinctly for the hearing of the world, and
by an authority not hostile to the govern
ment, that England's position in India is
precarious--that in the presence of the i'll
will of warlize neighbor her Indian En-
pire is not safe; and this particular danger
does not take into account the distresses
and discontents of her own Indian
population. nor the likelihoods of Mo-
hammedan revolt. But why is Eng
lands Indian Empire not safe IN
less she is paramount in Indiaa Is the
Ameer of Cabul likely to take it away from
her Will he invade it and crush the native
army and the British regiments and free
the oppressed people2 No; the danger lies
in the good will that may exist between the
Ameer and Russia, unless England is SO far
paramount that the Ameers relations with
his Northern neighbor may be restnined.
It appears, then, that the figure of Russia in
Asia is no longera mere threatening spectre,
as SO many English writer's have declared
it, but danger SO real that Sir James F.
Stephen believes that England, in order to
guarantee herself against it, ought to enter
upon o war that will cost her hundred
million dollars. Russia, then, advances
very rapidly in the East.

Some of the members of the American
Gas Light Association discussed yesterday
the discovery, reported by Edison, ofan cleo
trio light available for general use. If the
decisions of these gentlemen were final gas
stocks would not decline in value, and
gas bills would continue to remind con-
sumers of the necessity for q place
where extortioners may be eternally
punished. AS, however, the gentlemen
alluded to do not know the slightest thing
about Edison's system, and as the posi-
bilities of electricity are far beyond the
ability of human beings to estimate, the
public are still safe in hoping that Edison
or some one else will bring the mysteries of
this unknown force to bear against the mys-
teries gas company figures, to the complete
discontinue of the latter. Parties inter-
ested in threatened businesses have always
been remarkable for the stoniest blindness.
Some of them have demonstrated that
steamships could not cross the ocean,
others have proved to their own sat-
lisfaction that an elevated railway
could not succeed in New York, while
bin other and higher stations men interested
i'm kingship have proved that republican
governments must Of necessity fail. If
electricity finally proves unmanageable,
and too costly for illuminating purposes, it
' will be the first natural force which men
have ever found unavailable for human
needs, SO hope in its development is still
in order and will continue to be so until it
is relieved by success.

Murders and Murder Trials.

The indictment of tho Rev. Mr.. Hayden
lat New Haven for the murder of Mary Stan
'nard hos followed his rearrest on suspicion
Of having committed the crime There
were circumstances fully sufficient to war
rant his detention at the time of his first
examination, and his discharge was q singu-
lar proceeding II is alleged that new and
important evidence has subsequently been
discovered tending to fix the suspicion
more strongly upon the prisoner and, at
least, demanding his arraignmont and trial.
As Mr. Hayden is q minister of the
Gospel there will doubtless be o strong
church party confident Of his inno-
cence and willing to regard bin as
the victim of INSCRIPTIONS officers and
vicious press. But it is to be hoped that
the trial will be conducted fairly, without
reference to the profession Of the accused,
and that the crime will not be suffered to
go unpublished. 1t is SO much the fashion
to make martyrs OF sinners in holy orders
that when a clergyman is accused OF break
ing any one of the Ten Commandments he
frequently finds himself more popular and
admired than at any former period Of his

Perhaps there is on element of exaggera-
ton in the story from Louisiana, by way of
st. Louis, Of trouble with the negroes, in
asmuch as the casualties reported might be
accounted for by very small row, while the
tone Of the narrative could scarcely be more
elevated if it dealt with an indiscriminate
massacre Of the white population 1t ap-
pears to be recognized that whatever trou-
BILE is on foot has relation to the election
and to the candidacy of politician favored
by the negroes; but in the same parish the
negroes have five thousand votes and the
whites four hundred and fifty. With that
state Of the registers it can scarcely be
thought that the negroes want q row in the
interest of their candidate.

million others can live happily and
defend themselves against outsiders who
are neither idiots nor Spaniards. It is
further proposed that the government shall
raise the wind, Us it were, by selling all the
other Mexican territory to the highest
bidder, preferring the Latin races as buyers,
but accepting the Greeks if the Latins are
blind to the glorious opportunity. 1t is q
plan which proves that political genius is
not extinct beyond the Rio Grande.
