THE END OF THE AFGHAN VAR

THE END OF THE AFGHAN VAR.
1t is asserted in large portion of the
press that Great Britain has again met a
great defeat, and has been obliged to sur
render the key to the road to India, it being
announced that instructions have been sent
to the viceroy of India for the evacuation of
Candahar. Authentic or not, there seems to
be no reason for discrediting the report.
Whether the maintenance of British gafri-
son at Candahar was contemplated by Lord
Beaconsfield or not can hardly be deter
mined, but that the present ministry never
entertained the idea is pretty clear. There
has not been at any time desire on the
part of the English to
forcibly administer the domestic affairs of
Afghanistan. Occupying as it does, posi-
ton upon the British frontier in India, which
might too easily be taken advantage of by
Russia, the object of the military operations
was to go destroy its power of concerted &C.
ton as to render it less dangerous. This has
been accomplished by splitting Afghanistan
into two independent and small khanates, the
centers of which, politically, are respectively
at Cabul and Candahar. Local self govern
ment there is quite as satisfactory to Eng
land as to either of the petty principalities.
Moreover, as for abandoning the Khyber
Pass, the British relinquish nothing that
they have gained. The Importance of the
Khyber Pass has ceased to impress itself.
Experience has shown that by holding the
approaches to it they really control it, and,
beside that the Bolan Pass, which is now
accessible by rail, serves all the purposes of
strategy. Some contemporaries appear to
have misconceived the line of British interest
and policy as regards Afghanistan,
and complain that the profits
of the whole campaign are nothing.
On the contrary, they have accomplished all
they sought. The scientific frontier has not
slipped from their hands. 1t has simply
been concentrated, so to speak, while
Afghanistan has been reorganized in such a
way that, do what they will, the sturdy,
treacherous and warlike people can do no
further damage. The rival chieftains are
sufficiently poor to accept small subsidy
from the British government without ex-
posing the latter to the imputations that fol-
lowed the bribing of Dost Mohammed in the
past.

Grand Opening and Display of Musical
Instruments. and Foreign Musical Toys,
at Dyer & Towards.
Possibly, some of our readers may have con-
ceived the idea that because of the extensive
| wholesale and iobbing business of the popular
| and we'll known house of Dyer q Howard.
Music Dealers, little if any attention is given
| to the retail department. This is a mistake
Notwithstanding the immense demands of
their large and rapidly increasing wholesale
| business, they are very careful to look dill
gently to the demands of their retail patrons.
Every thing in their line can be obtained at the
very lowest price at retail and special care and
| attention is at all times bestowed upon person
| al orders, or inquiries and orders received by
| mail. Particularly have they arranged grand
display for the Holidays, and the lower floor
| of their warehouse presents gay and inviting
appearance arrayed in it's Holiday sttire-long
and broad tables are loaded with every posi-
Trumpets, Horns, Whistles, Harmonicums,
Jews Harps, Metal and Wooden Musical Scales,
lovely little Miniature Pianos, and scores of
other German and French Toy instruments
| which must be seen to be appreciated, and at
prices just about one-half that are generally
asked elsewhere for the same goods. In fact,
you will get more for twenty-five cents at Dyer

HE pending debate in the House of Con-
gress, with reference to the electoral count
involves no known matter of immediate in
terest, and the debate is, therefore, conf1ed
to theories. In these the inherited policies
of the anti democratic party which calls it,
self Republican, are curiously manifested
by the instructive preference of its members
for the one-man power-in which they are
like their lineal political ancestories, the
Tories of the Revolution.

The Georgia electors met yesterday and
cast their votes for Hancock and English
for President and Vice President. Though
the meeting was q week later than the law
provided for, the vote of the State will nc
doubt be counted. But if the result of the
election depended upon this vote, there
would, without question, be contest that
might produce serious results. The pend
ing discussion in Congress should not end
until some expression covering such cases as
this is given.

TIE ravages of dlphtheria in the Eastern
cities are creating great deal of anxiety, es-
pecially among the medical fraternity. No
remedies have yet been discovered for the
disease, and it continues to battle the skill
of the scientific. 1t would seem as if medl.
cal science should be able to discover some
specific for complaint so simple, appar-
emily. At any rate the disease should re-
cieve more attention from the profession
than it does at present.

WAR upon the bosses has been inaugural
ed in the cities of New York, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia, and there is fair prospect of
the determination of Kelly, Mclaughlin and
McManes as factors in local politics. AS the
business of house cleaning is in vogue it
would be good idea for other communities
to seek emancipation from bossism. Min
nesota, for instance, might rid herself of
the domination of Boss Ole Fletcherson.
