The Rivals i'm Central Asia.

The massacre of the English Embassy at
Cabul and the check to the advance guard
OF the Russian expedition against the
temporary approach to good feeling be-
tween the governments Of England and
Russia. The language of the Agence
Russe, telegraphic agency which
usually spreads abroad the high
official opinion of st. Petersburg, has
this noteworthy remark :-'Events at Cabul
and in the Turcoman territory tend to
prove the necessity of good understand
ing between England and Russia" This
appears to be quite remarkable language
for Russia to use, but it is not new. Some
time ago Professor Marten published a
the removal of the slender so-called neutral
zone between the two Powers in Central
Asia, and, second, that England and
Russia should only be divided by nero
line of frontier ''over which two benevo-
lent governments might shake hands and
pursue their mission" The brochure is
creating considerable interest in Continental
diplomatic circles. The English journals,
then talking about '.peace with honor"
and the treaty with Yakoob Khan at Gun
damak. affected to treat the suggestions
with disdain or derision. We doubt not,
however, that the English govern
ment now sees the suggestion in a
more appreciative light, and that its
dearest wish is that the Ameer
may be found guilty of treachery toward
Major Cavagnari, for in that case there
would be no moral or conscientious him
drance in the way of occupying the entire
country of Afghanistan. The Hindoo
Koosh would form far moro
scientific boundary" for Lord Bea-
consfeld than the passes of the
Suleiman range. Russian journals have
been permitted to express consent to such
an arrangement, with the simple proviso
that Russia should occupy Herat. This
would bring the frontier line close enough,
aud all the jcalousies of tho two rival Powers
would be over, or at least give place
only to watchfulness or actual hossilitios,
which would be quite as beneficial to both
as the present arrangements, so unsatis-
factory to both parties. Russia, in subju-
eating the Teke Turcomans and in
the capture of Merv, has doubtless
something better to do than to attempt
the annexation of India. The cession of
Kuldja shows her desire TO maintain
friendly relations rather than to come into
conflict with China. Her projects for
making navigable canal between
the Sea of Azov and the Caspian
and for turning the course of the Oxus
are not probably undertaken for merely
military purposes 80 much as for the devel-
opment of trade with Central Asia and
China. Besides these great projects COM

Six Day Races.
atrocious.

When Rowell carried away twenty thou
sand American dollars last spring as the re-
suit of his weeks work in Gilmorss Garden
he was considered by his English friep1s to
be an extraordinarily lucky fellow in hav-
ing discovered in America bo-
nanza that could be worked on fu-
ture occasions when pedestrian purses
needed filling. They were right in
their belief thats the public which had
been most generous to Rowell would, SO
long as it was interested in similar ex-
hibitions, pay liberal sum to see a
genuine and interesting race of standard
quality. 1t is characteristic of that
same public that. while it expends
its money generously, it demands q
fair equivalent for its dollars No
second class affair, no prearranged
"hippodrome," will satisfy Now York
audience. and there is no city in the world
so quick to give it's favor to q worthy OBJ
ject and at the same time so jealous of its
right and dignity. During the past two
years English interest in six day ''go-as-
you-please" racing has completely died
June last the comparatively beggarly sum
of one hundred and seventy-two pounds
was handed the winner of the Ashley
belt as the sum total of his share of the
gate receipts. This, too, in the face of the
fact that the best men in England and the
best score on record were being offered as
the attractions. No wonder that the winner
turned his face westward and located the
contest here. At home, ''in Merry
England" there was nothing to be
gained, and here came Weston, Ha-
zael and Rowell, to ask of the
American public their favor and their dol
lars. The opening of the contest was
largely attended and success seemed as
sured. Weston and Hazael at once held
their public patrons too cheaply, aud the
first named became buffoon upon the track
and the latter laid in his tent sulkily and
refused to make such q score as his past
records gave the public right to expect.
We drew attention to this once before in our
columns, and we are glad to see that yester-
day Hazael took our advice and did himself
credit and the public justice. But we have
a word further to say to others as we'll who
are connected with this business at Madison
Square Garden. There are ugly rumors in
the air, and we trust they are un-
founded We will be glad to believe
they are untrue. But let the inner
workings of the affair and the coming chal-
lenges and acceptances be so conducted as
to confirm the public in their faith in the
purity of everything pertaining to the
championship, or long distance racing will
die an unnatural death in America with the
present contest for the Ashley belt.

The Extraordinary General Term.


1t would be an obvious violation of de-
corum for the press to undertake to decide
the grave questions of law which were
argued yesterday before the General Term
of the Supreme Court. Although impor-
tant political consequences depend on the
judgment of the Court it is to be pre-
sumed that the judges will ignore
political consideration and decide the
points in litigation in strict accord
ance with law. There has been raised
in some political quarters fierce clamor
against Governor Robinson for consenting
to appoint this extraordinary General Term.
We have no doubt that his action was wise.
Questions OF great importance and urgency
are involved, and it is better that they be de-
cided by three judges at once, instead OF by q
single judge with the certainty of an appeal
from his decision to q General Term.
Whatever, in matter of this kind, shortens
litigation and abridges the period of
uncertainty is wise and expedient
There is nothing in the character Of the
three judges who hold this extraordinary
General Term to justify suspicion that the
Governor expected they would favor his
individual views or preferences. There
is such an obvious proprieiy in having the
case decided by some higher authority than
a single judge, especially as there had been
a conflict between two or three Supreme
Court judges, that Governor Robinson was
fully justified in expediting an authorita-
tive decision by assemb bling tribunal hav-
ing more judicial weight than that ofa single
judge. The ultimate point involved is
whether ex-Police Commissioner Nichols
he was removed by the Mayor. The more
rapidly such question is advanced into
the higher courts the better for the good
order and tranquil administration Of the
Police Department. We therefore did not
join in the clamor against Governor Robin
son when he appointed this extraor-
dinary General Term. Had it been
within the legal competence of the
Governor to carry the question at once to
the Court of Appeals that would have been
still better; but he has wisely gone as far
as the law allowed in shortening the period
of uncertainty. 1t is absurd that such
questions have to go into the courts at all,
and whatever tends to expedite final de-
cision is for the public advantage.
The General Term is expected to render
its decision on Monday, which will leave
one day before the expiration Of the month
for the appointment of inspectors of cleo
tion. The law requires that they be ap-

Board was intended to establish. The re-
publican Commissioners not only claim the
right to name the republican inspectors Of
election--a right which is clearly theirs
but they assume to have a voice in the selec-
ton and n veto on the appointment of the
democratic inspectors, and in the assertion
of this illegal and preposterous claim they
are willing to go to all lengths, even to tho
length OF disfranchising the whole voting
population of the city.
Tho pretension which the republican
Commissioners set up is monstrous vio-
lation of that equality between the two
parties which it is the purpose of the Elec-
ton law to establish. They are evidently
acting in collusion with Mr.. Kelly and his
faction, in the hope of aiding Mr. Cornells
election by the appointment of Tammany
inspectors. A sot OF Kelly inspectors on
the democratic side tends TO precisely
the same result as set of Cornell
inspectors on the democratic side. Mr..
Kelly is not the regular democratic candi-
date; he has declared that he has no hope
of an election. by his own repeated
avowals tho sole purpose of his candidacy
is 10 defeat and humiliate Robinson by
contributing to the election of Cornell.
Kelly is confessedly running in the interest
OF the republican candidate. Kelly in
spectors of election would be- to all prac-
teal intents and purposes, not demo-
cratic inspectors, but republican inspectors,
since it is the proclaimed purpose of the
Tammany faction to secure the election
OF the republican candidate for Governor.

CHINESE LABOR.
From the Morning Call.
Instead Of enriching the countries they
trade with. they will tend to their impov-
erishment, by ~supplanting their labor in
their home markets. Every nation can
have the protection Of a tariff on foreign
goods, but not on the productions Of for
eigners within its own limits. We answer,
therefore, that the only way to prevent our
working classes from descending to the
Chinese plane Of civilization through the
fierce competition of labor, is to force the
Chinese to remain at home.
GRANTS RECEPTION.
From the Virginia Chronicle.
Even those who fought against him, when
fighting was to be done, are among the
mos active in their efforts to make the re-
ception worthy of SO distinguished a guest.
This is all admirable. The oftener Amer
lean citizens can find opportunity to sink
political differences and forget bitter mem
'ories, the better it will be for the country.
PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.
From the Truckee Republican.
In Presidential campaigns men vote for
principles, and the individual popularity
Of the head Of the ticket would make but
little difference in the result. If Grant
enters the political arena he will poll the
vote Of his party.
SWALLOWING HI PROFITS.
From the New York Sun.
John Sherman's barrel wasn't the only
one tapped in Ohio. According to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, G~overnor-elect Foster
fabricated the Republican machine to the
extent of $50. 000. This must make quite
a hole in the profits of the store at Fostoria.
