No Hope for the Anneer.

The HERALD's special cable dispatches
from Turkestan confirm the report of the
dangerous illness of the Ameer, and state
that his speedy death is almost certain.
Gangrene had set in, and probably no
efforts could have saved his life, although
it seems that the Afghan doctor and others
OF the invalid's suit objected to a resort to
such remedies as the Russian surgeons
skill suggested. The fate OF the fugitive
Ameer is sad one. But yesterday, as it
were, he was powerful ruler, believing
himself strong enough to defy England.
To-day he is a wanderer, without home,.
and dying by the roadside of a painful and
offensive disease. Yet his death will be a
great political relief both to Russia and
England. The former escapes from posi-
tion that would have been unpleasant if
not quite embarrassing, while the latter
finds the best settlement of the Afghan
question that could possibly have been
reached. Whatever sympathy may be felt
for the Amecr, he could not have died at q
better time for the Powers that have been
involved in his troubles, or, probably, for
himself. Had he lived-for we may regard
his death us certain-it would only have
been to meet further disappointments and
TO find all his hopes of assistance finally

A Wholesale Murder.

The dreadful accident that occurred at
Stockton, CAL, on Saturday last was one of
those too common calamities brought ON by
criminal recklessness of human life. The
engineer in charge of an engine used to test
the working of new propeller pump
found the steam gauge out of order, and,
after an unsuccessful attempt to fix
it, cut short the difficulty by screwing
down the safety valve and "going
ahead" More than two hundred peo-
pie were gathered on the spot to
witness the experiment, and the engineer
must have been well aware of the risk he
was running. But if he reflected on the
danger he must have thought that tho
probability of blowing the spectators into
eternity did not warrant the postponement
of the trial. He therefore "went ahead
until the engine exploded, killing nearly
twenty persons and wounding and
mangling still greater number. For
tunately, the man whose criminal reck-
lessness occasioned this terrible calam-
ity was among the killed. We say fortu-
nately, for if he possessed human feelings
his future life would have been constant
misery and remorse, and IL he was simply a
brute the law would not have been likely
to have reached him. A man who commits
an ordinary murder may suffer the penalty
of his crime, but one who through wilful

Some prominent opponents of liquor
drinking are endeavoring to secure the
passage by the House Of the bill. which has
vide for o national commission Of inquiry
concerning the liquor traffic and it's relations
to the public welfare. The subject is
so great, and so likely to be regarded
with eyes either partial or prejudicod by
nearly every one who touches it. that men,
bers Of the House are not to be blamed for
approaching it reluctantly. 1t would be pos
sible to construct a commission which could
intelligently consider and report upon the
subject, but such body is too good to be
hoped for. The majority of liquor dealers
are not likely to want any report which
will expose the frauds Of which the
liquor business is ut least as full
as any other, while it is equally improbable
that tho total abstinence men would be
satisfied with anything short Of general
condemnation Of tho entire business.
Meanwhile the public and the honest liquor
dealers greatly need some national action
against the adulteration of liquors-a busi-
ness which has reached such gigantic
proportions that alcohol alone does
not constitute one-half of the enemy
which society and business have to fight
While the temperance men are pushing the
bill can they not work into it some pro-
vision for inspection and for the punish
ment of persons adulternting liquors.?
Then it would contain at least one clause
upon which good men on both sides could
unite, and which would be sure to be of
service. no matter how inconsequent the
remainder of the bill might be.
