The Democratic congress has not yet
voted appropriations to pay the FEEDER

for past services or for those to come.
This seems like great injustice to men
who have given their services to the

in the service. Let us hope that this
mean policy toward Federal officials
will soon be set right.

"THE AVIS"
CHRLSTIANSTED ST.. Groin
Wednesday 25h august 1880.

Just five years ago there occurred
a rapid succession of robberies in
Christiansted and the neighbourhood
by which timid persons were alarmed
to the extent of believing that we had
entered on a new and evil era.
Increased watchfulness on the part
of householders and increased activi-
ty on the part of the police soon,
however, brought the mischief to an
end, and we have since lived, so far
as this form Of danger is concerned,
in careless security. But the longest
lane has a turning, and it would
appear that we have arrived at rather
a crooked bit of ours. We learn that
during the past few weeks there have
been numerous attempts at burglary,
some failing and some succeeding,
but each contributing to leave an
unpleasant impression on all who live
in a house, and are supposed, correct
ly or otherwise, to have something to
, 1880-08-25
E E S.

Afghan affairs are naturally the
chief topic in the English papers.
The Daily Telegraph of course blames
the present Ministry, who IN their
eagerness to get out OF Afghani gal
have weakened the forces. Inns
is however unfair. The real blunder
seems to lie in the want OF caution
on the part of the Generals on the
, 1880-08-25

years old, and what responsibility can
be laid on such a child? If he thought
at all of what he was doing, he pro-
badly considered that the kerosene
would make a brighter blaze than the
match, and that when he had enjoy
ed it, he would blow it out, as he had
perhaps. often done before with the
matches. 1t would be a hard heart
that would place any but the slightest
blame on the Ignorant child. On the
other hand the case is a striking
warning to parents, to Use more fore
thought in regard to the care Of
articles which may be dangerous to
their children or even through
them, as in this case, to the public
at large. Is it desirable that people
who live in small rooms and have no
facilities for storage should keep kero-
sene otherwise than in small quaint
ties? A pint, OF even a less quantity,
can be bought at the retail shops,
and the small saving Of buying the
larger quantity isa poor set off against
the danger incurred.
There is however a fault some
where else Of which we must now
speak. Why should this kerosene
have exploded at all? Accord
ing to the experienced in such mat
ters, good kerosene, that is to say
kerosene refined to the ordinary COM
mercial standard, should have behav-
ed quite differently. Instead of ex-
ploding, it ought to have quenched
the lighted match dropped into it. It
ought not to have exploded till heat
ed to a temperature Of 100 F., and
it is not likely that the actual tenn
perature oftheo oil was higher than $50,
or at the highest 800. We can only
conclude that the oil in question was
not sufficiently refined. 1t is we'll
known that the raw or crude oil as
it issues from the earth at the springs,
is highly explosive, but by proper
processes it is reduced to a thorough
ly safe condition. To Judge from
the accidents which frequently occur,
such as that in St. Thomas last year,
and the case now under considera-
ton, there must be a good deal of
insuhiciently refined oil in the market.
We do not know whether the local
merchants could prevent this by
strictly declining to import or to sell
oil under the proper standard, or
whether there is any means by which
they in their turn could secure them
selves from fraud, if willing to take
such a stand. The matter is one of
such great Importance, that we should
suppose, though without knowing
anything of the matter, that the
United States Government has adopt
ed some measures for inspecting and
branding the standard oils. Whether
this is SO or not, it is plain that we
ought as a duty to the public as well
as to ourselves to use particular
caution in dealing with this uncer-
tain fluid, keeping it always under
lock and key, never allowing a light
to be brought near it, or the lamps to
be filed after dark, keeping the
lamps and chimneys in good order,
and in short acting like persons who
know that they have to deal with a
substance possibly dangerous to them
