THE AFGHAN STRIFE EXTENDING

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE correspondent of
The Times at Khoa says that OF the most important
OF Afghan politics ia the intense anmosity
tween the Ghil2ais and Duranis and the Aneer has
called this passion into play antidotc to the feel
ing in favor Of shere Alrs family, which was probably
increased by Ayoob Khan's recent victory. To induce
the Ghilzais o adhere TO him the Ameer represented
this defeat OF the Ghzas by the Duranis, through
which tho righiful GhilZai supremacy CaDdahar
lost, and invited them to aid him in rcgainng II.
The appeal most successful, the Ghilzas joining
the Amccr large numbers, that he had very
siderable irregular force, besides drilled troops. The
news however, sped to Candahar and IL has done
for Ayoob Khan than he could do for himself
The Durauis, who had hitherto held aioof from him,
rallied round him IN large numbers prepared not
much to resist the Ameer as To defend their homes
against the hated Ghilzais.
It in doubtful whether anything they do will
erbaiance the Ameers superiority, but new element
has been introduced into the strife which lead to
deporabe consequences and II the Amecr wins battle
under the walls OF Candahar he Will have hard work to
snNc the city from his fOllOWers.

The late lamented Nebraska legis-
lature made Il bad mix of its railroad
legislation. The act requiring the
rate to conform with that charged on
the 3Oth of November last would
make the charges for passengers five
cents per mile on most of the Nebras-
ka roads, whereas the present rate in
force varies from three and half to
four and half cents per mile, in de-
fiance of the law as it were. But the
cutest thing is the forbidding of all
special rates. This, if enforced, us it
will not be, would kill all the whole
sale and jobbing business in the state.
Sioux City Journal
The late lamented Nebraska legisla-
ture passed no such laws. The law
they did pass simply prohibits railroad
companies from charging higher
transportation rates than they
charged in 1880. 1t does not
prohibit them from charging
three cents per mile. If they see fit
they may legally charge one cent. pei
mile The law does not prohibit rail,
ways from granting as low carload
rates for any class of merchandise OF
products as they have charged before
the new law went into force. They
must, however, charge no higher rat,
for transporting any class or giver
quantity of goods to one patron than
they charge for carrying the sam'
quantity and class over the same dis
tance to another patron.
They cannot legally charg'
more for carrying a carload o
goods from shorter distance THAI
they charge for the same class anc
quantity for longer distance. Il
other words they can't charge more TO
carrying car load of coal from Blai
to Tekamah than they charge fron
Omaha to Tekamah but they ma,
charge the same rates from bot
points which shows plainly that tn
through rate to points within tn
state can be maintained, but the rat
from local stations between thes
through points cannot be higher thal
the through rate. Points beyond tn
