The presentation OF a litc-s9yins medal OF
the first class the other day by the Govern
mcnt to Mrs. Ida Wilson Lewis was a graceful
and appropriate recognition of hcroism which
the country will heartily approve. The giving
Of these medals in ease, of signal acts OF hero

Herat, the capital of Western Afghanistan,
has been captured by a mysterious army
marching from Central Turkestan. 1t
is not a Russian, bat native expedition, but
its origin and success will suggest posi-
bilities of future conquest which Eng
lshmen may find it harassing to fore
cast. If the Turcomans can find their way
to Herat from the north, their Russian
conquerors and allies will be apt to
follow them at leisure. This is the
city which Lord Beac0nsfcld entreatcd the
Shah to occupy undera promise OF British pro-
tectGrate. If Persian instead Of Afghan troops
had been driven out by TurcOmans, an English
army would have had long forced march
and a hazardous campaign before 1t. AS
matters stand the English are ont OF
Afghanistan after paying $l25,Ooo,ooo
for their experience and they will stay ont.
All the same, Herat is dangerously near the
region.
The British Government is evidently bent
upon paralyzing the Irish Land League pli-
lon Sexton and Quinn, who are among the
most active organizers, are now lodged in jail.
O'Krlly. who is the fourth member Of ParIla-
ment now under arrest, has also been one OF
Parnell's most industrious followers IN the
Land League The Ministry, having once en-
tered upon the stern path Of repression,
cannot turn back without exposing them
selves to ridicule. They are accordingly
striking at the centre of the organization which
has substituted its own will for the author
ity of the Crown. The island, meanwhile, is
trembling with suppressed excitement, but
there are no outbreaks of turbulence and pas
sion. The vast cOncOurSes which gather IN
the great centres of population show no
signs of revolutionary frenzy. The only
ominous sound comes from Paris,
where the treasurer of the League predicts
the dircst consequences if the English soldiers
fire upon the crowds at Limerick without wait
ING for orders. We do not believe that there
is to be any fighting or riotns in the cities
The mass of the people have had the
idea impressed upon them at every League
meeting for two years that they must
not resort to arms, but pcrscycrc in the
policy of passive resistance. The Government
cannot govern Ireland by filling up the jails,
and the people know it, The question soon to
be decided is whether they can break down
the Land League organization and either
coax or drag the tenants into accepting the
Land bill.

The public scarcely needs to be assured that
neither Secretary Window nor any committee
of Treasury clerks has discovered anything that
furnishes the slightest warrant for the SANDER
GUS attacks upon his predecessor. Senator Sher-
man has enemies who have formed the habit
of assuming that there have been fraud and cor
ruption in the fiscal administration of the coun-
try simply because they want to smirch the repu-
tation of one of the most successful public
financiers of modern times. The fantastic ru
mors to which he has directed attention in the
Senate are the unwhOlesOme fictiOns Of gar
rulous maevolence.

There has been bit of low comedy in the
Virginia campaign. Mr.. Riddleberger and d"
nephew of Ex-Governor Wise have met on the
field of honor like gentlemen of the old South
ern school. The craftsmanship was very bad.
-Four rounds were exchanged, and, the ammu-
milton being apparently exhausted, n recOncilia
ton was easily effected. 1t is needless to add
that there was no gore. General Jubal Early
seems to be anxious to drag Senator Malone
into similar farce by adopting Congressman
Wises tactics. 1t is safe to assume that the
Senator will not be lured into the fed to fight
with the windmills of SANDER. The Richmond
antagonists have made themselves so ridiculous
that moralizing on the criminal folly of duel
ling loses its edge.

One of the Parnellite members of Parlia-
ment has been quietly but very cordially well
coined in this city. Mr.. O'Con-
nor seems to be awaiting instruc-
tiops from the Irish leader before arranging
his programme of League meetings in this
country. He is not likely to be recalled,
as his presence here at such a crisis
will be worth thousands of dollars
to the Land League in Irish-American contri-
buttons. Nh. O'Connor, if we may judge from
his manner in answering our reporters pointed
questions, is more discreet than the majority
of his associates. He takes the arrest of
his colleagues quietly enough.

To3IBSToNE's TROUBLES.

\ correspondent of the Epitaph gives the following lugubrious review of the 'cowboy question as affecting the pros- 'perity of Tombstone. It is hoped the ,real facts are not as bad as represented; Has anyone stopped for a momeat tO
 consider the present state of affairs in
 Arizona, and what the end will be? It .has come to pass in this country that life and property are unsafe; even in the flown of Tombstone it seems as if one of lthe leading industries is to be destroyed. There is not a teamster to-day who is hot i'll fear and dread of the cowboys, or 'so-styled rustlers," depriving him of i hard earnings q say hard earnings, for
 sif there is a man who gains his living by
 l the sweat of his brow it is the man who l from early morn until late at night pulls
 land tugs along through mud and rain, ] dust and heat, with "a six-mule team, or the man who shoulders a bull whip and tramps all day long yelling and pound ing seven or eight yoke of oxenL How must such men feel to be robbed by a band of thieves and cutthrosts, who take ! bride in announcing to the public that they are rustlersr Where is the team ] sster's protection? can you find any off cer who will follow, arrest and recover
 . your property? If you can l would like ; to see him. And how do teamsters act to one another in such matters? They stand still, for the rustlers tell them
 you won't be troubled if you let us salone." So they take mans cattle ahead ] of you, and you won't help him, for you , have had an understanding; and then they take yours; the man behind you won't help you for he is solid,' having 3 had an understanding with them; and ! then they take his, and so 1t goes. An sother thing, teamsters are afraid; they follow, intending to fight, they gei close to their stock, when they are met and told to go back, and back they
 go. These chaps seem to have no diff
