may finally depend whether there is to be
war or peace, and If it is to be war, whether
the Afghsns remain faithful and efficient
allies. The keeping of the Indian popula-
tions loyal and the adequacy Of the prepara-
tions for war will also greatly depend upon
the Vioeroy. The proffer of their armies
by the principal feudatory princes
is sign that the native States
are we'll disposed. The Viceroy's reported
peremptory demand for $4,000 additional
British troops indicates that he does not
mean to be found unprepared. Well for Eng
land if ii does not mean that he fears either
Hindu or Afghan treaohery. The Ameer
Abdur Rshman was placed on the throne by
England, and has been annually subsidized
out of the Indian treasury. Beyond the
natural rapacity and treachery of the AZ
CHAN character there is no reason to doubt
his good faith. lie has been making strenu-
Gus demands for money and munitions of
war. The money is no doubt necessary to
keep his regiments to their allegiance in the
face Of the intrigues Of the Russians and of
rival pretenders to the throne. The Ameer
is ruler of barbarous and discordant tribes,
and he comes of treacherous race. II
would be quite consonant with the oriental
character for him TO get all the money
and arms possible out of the Eng
lish and then turn against them.
But as he obviously has nothing 10
gain by throwing himself into the arms of
Russia, this eventuality, though possible, is
not probable. Yet that the Afghan people
hate the English is undeniable. Though so
far as we know Lord Dutferin has never be-
fore faced such serious task, his reputa.
tion as a diplomatist and man of affairs is so
high that all English.speakiug people will
feel sort of relief that he is at the fore in
time like this. The Viceroy on Friday met
the Ameer at Rawal Pindi, town on the
railway between Lahore and Peshawur in
Northern India. This was no doubt an
event of oriental magnifcence and, as all
England hopes, Lord Dutferin will succeed
during their personal intercourse in firmly
cementing the alliance of the Ameer with
the Empress of India.

THE MILITARY INVESTIGATION,

There are a few things which ought to be
considered in connection with the investi-
CATION into the alleged misconduct of mem.
bers of the Pennsylvania National Guard.
First, contrary to what has been commonly
reported, every officer and man of the fine
division, numbering about 1900, that came
here to the Inauguration paid all his own
expenses. Not even a postage stamp came
out of the State treasury toward the ex-
penses of the Guard in comiug to Washing
ton on the 4th of March. Second, it was
rather hard that the charges should have
been spread broadcast through the press some
days before they were laid before the proper
authorities of the State. In matter relat-
ing to a corps which should have been re.
garded and treated as honored guests of the
people of Washington, any misconduct of
individuals should have been dealt with in n
way to give the least instead of the most
modification to the admirable organization
of which they may have proved to be un-
worthy members. Third, the high spirit
intelligence, and energy which have brought
the National Guard of Pennsylvania up to
the point which we have all seen by their
successive parades at intervals of four years
was signally illustrated in the sending here
| of Court Of Inquiry to investigate what at
the time they we're ordered to that duty were
mere newspaper charges of misbehavior.
All this, however, is unimportant in com
60 tJ,,tt ;,,a;
planned of will doubtless serve to freshly
illustrate the high standard to which Penn
sylvania has brought her troops, for if the
offenders can he identified, either individ.
ually or by companies, they will not escape
discipline. Fortunately for the State and
its power to deal adequately with cases like
this, its National Guard has attained so high
a reputation that great numbers of full
companies are at all times seeking admission
to it. There have indeed been over an hun
dred applications for which no vacancy exists
since the 4th of March. When it appears
that the officers of any company have per-
mitted the discipline of their commands to
decline so that serious misconduct occurs
which cannot be fastened on individual
soldiers the company will be summarilymus
tered out, and make room for one of the
many which are seeking to take its place.
So whatever may be the result of the inves-
legations the Governor and his staff may be
relied upon to take such remedial steps that
no one need be ashamed to hear the National
Guard of Pennsylvania spoken of as a model
body of volunteers, nor need our citizens
have any doubt about welcoming this fine
organization on any future occasion.

ready to so whenever the Democracy should
come in. The dreaded event is here. The
Democracy have come in. And yet things
in Washington go on the even tenor OF their
way. There is no disastrous fall OF real
estate consequent upon the dismissed clerks
having their hardly earned homes forced
upon the market. In fact there is no de.
preston anywhere resulting from the
change of parties, and the vague fears which
many estimable civil servants honestly en-
tertained are evidently fast passing away.

ARIsTOCRATyC OFFYClALLsM.

Last Thursday the clerks in the Interior
Department had holiday, the occasion be.
ing the death of Jacob Thompson, once secre.
tary of that Department. The utter absurd
ity of giving one or two thousand clerks day
of for such a reason is so apparent that We
can but wonder that II continues to be done
year after year. 1t is only surpassed in
folly by the habit of Congress Of stopping
work on account of the death of member,
no matter how urgent the pressure of public
business may be at the time.
In studying the cause Of these reasonless
doings We can find it only in the growth of
the toady spirit. Repugnant as such
ideas are to our Democratic institutions,
there is a steady acquiescence in the theory
that our officials constitute a sort of aristoc-
racy. ofhcal mourning has a meaning and
purpose in monarchies which does not exist
here. Royalty tries by every symbolic
means to create the impression that IL is
synonymous with, or at least indispensable
to, the State. But why the public business
of fifty million Americans should stop be.
cause one Of their number is dead is past
finding out.
More senseless mummery than this obit-
uary business is not to be found in the world
SO far as It goes it is no better than any
fetichism. All there Is in IL is the attempt
ON the part Of our Official class to create the
doctrine that certain sanctity ever after
ward attaches to the person of one who has
once held Office.
AT present il is not sought to afix this
sanctity TO any below Congressman and
Cabinet Ministers, but II will he easy enough
for some high snob some time to extend the
list. So we had better have done with II as
soon as possible. No useful purpose is
served by it, and it is distinctly vicious in
principle that public honors should be paid
at the expense of the taxpayers upon the
assumption that those who have once held
certain Offices are more than simple republi-
can citizens.
Men must die, but the world still goes on.
Let us have no more obituary holidays.
Americans should get back to and adhere TO
the good equal rule that the object Of our
system and the principle governing all our
public business is that the general welfare
is the paramount interest.

WHgS our Republican fellow citizens, es-

anticipations they have always formed of
what would follow the election OF a Demo-

in their fearful imaginstions. Visions Of an

countless multitude from the South, and Of

uninyiting from the North, were common and
