The terms of peace between England and
Afghanistan show that Great Britain has
gained the point for which she went TO war.
The cause Of hostilities witl@eShe late Ameer
was his refusal to receive the English resi-

power through its representative Yakoob
Khan has yielded On this point and a British
resident will In future remain at Cabul to pro-
tect the rights and interests of Englishmen
IN that country. In addition to this Afghan

The Cincinnati Commercial is convinced that
an income tax law will be passed by Con-
gress. The sentiment In favor OF this tax is
strong and growing stronger daily. There
have been two attempts to pass the bill this
year, under lspension Of the rule, and the
last time the majority for the bill was twice
as large as the first. It is impossible, of
course, to get the bill up, as 1t requires two
thirds Of the House to suspend the rules. Ii,
however, the Committee on Ways and Means
reports the bill, it will pass by q large ma
jority The tax to be levied under the bill
will be light-all incomes over $4,000 being
taxed only two mills This will yield. It ie
thought, about $4,000, 900 year.

The Butterflies have developed new
scheme in Massachusetts. 1t is union be-
tween Butler and the Democrats, by which
CASTOR will be elected Governor and "the
widow" sent to the United States Senate.
Buffers friends are trying to tempt the DEM
.ocrats into this plan by telling them that they
will find 1t to their advantage to get Butler
out OF the State whatever 1t may cost. The
only hitch In the arrangement seems to be
that the General Is not as willing to spend
100000 on campaign as he was last year.
