THE AFGHAN QUESTION.

One effect Of the political upheaval in Eng

General Sir Pcter Lumslen, the late Afghan
frontier commissioner, and his elevation t. a
greater degree of royal and Official favor than
lie enjoyed In his palniest days before.
Les, than month ago he was scurry-
ing homo across tho whole breadth of Europe
and half of Asa in obedience to an unwel.
come recall, and scattering along his path
such objurga tions and ma 'edictions upon the
government that tho liberals loudly de-
manded that he he cashiered. There was
moreover no lack of desire on the
rart of the government to infict that
dssraceful punishment, and there
is every reason to believe that the blow was
only avertcd by the fear that it would make
him martyr and be interpreted as an act of
trucking subservicncy to Russia. Tho other
night Sir Peter was graciously entertained by
Queen Victoria at dinner at Windsor
castle, at which the only other guest
was tho Marquis of Salisbury. This
unusual honor was supplemented by
letter, said to have been written
by the queen herself, III which she expresses
warm admiration for his conduct In the
management of British affairs i'll Central
Asia during a most critical period The
heaping of thes, honors upon Sir Peter is
hailed with delight at the tory military clubs.
where it is regarded as deliberate and
significant expression Of disapproval by the
queen of the attitude Of the Gladstone cabinet
toward an officer whom she delights to honor.

The New British Ministry Abandons
Coercion in Ireland

The British cabinet council has decided to
entirely abandon coercion in Ireland and to
rely upon strict administration Of the gen.
eral law. Mr.. Sexton. NJ. p, address
ing a meeting at Wakefield urged
Irishmen to support the con-
servative candidate for parliament and
to give the conservatives a chance. The
past conduct of the liberals Gladstone fol-
lowers, he said, gave them no claim to
Irish support Lord Arthur William Hill,
member of parliament for Down, Ire
land, and comptroller, in All election
speech at Down referred to the recently
proposed bill for the renewal of the
Grimes act, and said such measures were, in
his opinion, needless, as the ordinary laws
were sufficiently ample for tho government of
Ireland. The present Land at: he said, was
a failure He would support the Land Pur..
chase bill which the liberal government had
proposed.

1t seems that the prohibitionists
want their doctrines incorporated in
our new constitution. But the
place for such planks must be made
in the statutes when so desired by
the people, not in our organic law.
In the present state of popular opin-
ion in Florida, prohibition would not
prohibit, and it will be long before
we willingly try the experiment
which has failed so signally in Maine.

THE PEOPLE AND THE LAW.

Public opinion is power which
few of US appreciate. The people
of Florida have come from every
land under the sun and there is lit
tie of the sympathy in our ideas of
government which would go far to
make US politically homogeneous.
All good citizens seek the same end,
but we differ so much in choice of
ways and means that we start out
on different roads which may never
meet.
1t is agreed ON all hands that the
administration of justice is slow and
uncertain, but each attempts to rem
edy the evil by medicines which
have no adaptation TO the constitu
ton of the patient. And those who
should work together since they
have a common purpose, spend so
much valuable time in idle talk and
fruitless efforts that each loses his
object, and the worse appears the
better cause.
While the evil is admitted, the
causes are so complex that the doc
tors who seek for some grand pana-
cea do more harm than good. No
cure-all will ever be found. Even
as the multitudinous waves make
one ocean, so each man must do his
separate duty that no part be lack
ing in the perfect whole. In our
political system each man is virtual
| ly an official inasmuch as in him is
lodged modicum of political pow
err. When a community can stand
as one man on any question, public
opinion is absolute, but, like a bun
die of faggots, if there is no cohe-
sion of the whole, each part is weak
When we are told that public opin.
ion must be educated, we are sim
ply advised to endure our burden;
patiently. Education is good an6
patience is virtue, but the evil of
ten grows stronger by liberation anC
no man cares to endure unless he
sees good to come of it for himself
We all complain that the crimina
is not adequately punished in Flor
ida; some blame public opinion and
some accuse official incapacity as The
cause. The sin lies primarily on The
people. They pay officers to run
their government but they forge
that supervision by themselves i
absolutely required. As well nigh
a merchant expect his clerks to ruI
a business for his benefit withou
his direction, as the public hope tina
its servants will work manfully whel
the master is careless. We mus
learn to act together: then we cal
| seek a common end and hope t.
reach it.

Ar NEW ORLEANS.


Now that the truth is beginning
to come out, we believe the people
Of Florida will soon appreciate the
fact that for the measure of success
achieved at New Orleans they are
under no obligations for either man
agement or work contributed by
their commissioner. All visitors who
have taken the trouble to investi-
gate know full we'll that while a
creditable display has often been
made on particular occasions by pri-
vate exhibits, the efforts of these
citizens have been in no case mate
rally aided by a commissioner sent
to represent the state, and who
claimed heavy pay for services he
uniformly omitted to render. Ger
tificates have been secured from
other commissioners, and no doubt
like services rendered in return, but
we defy him to produce any en-
dorsement from prominent Flori-
dians who have been so placed that
accurate knowledge of the commits
sioner's work could be gained.
That charity, whose mantle is
wide, hides much but the time
has at last come when de-
cent regard for the public
faith requires full explanation as
we'll as an itemized account. The
man who could so far forget himself
as Commissioner Sebring has alrea-
dy done, must be held to strict ac-
count, or he may succeed IN impos-
ing the odium of his misdeeds on
the shoulders of innocent men. 1t
will not do to show certificates of a
mutual admiration society recruited
from Canada and South America
let those whom we know like Prof
Curtiss and Col. Robertson speak tc
the point, and let Gen. Sebring stand
or fall on his own record.
The people must finally know how
the public has been humbugged in
this exposition business. but when
we sec Gen. Sebring posing as q
martyr to his patriotic devotion up
on pretensions so flimsy they are
ready to flee away at the first glance
of the sun, we cannot forbear ex
pressing the hope that the fingers Of
truth will soon raise these misty
wells of deception. To the citizen,
who carried exhibits from farm anG
grove; to the members of the state
fair association, and to private par
ties and local corporations and rail
roads throughout the state, credit
must be given for Florida's share il
the glories of the world'sexposition
and 1t is not only for sins of omis
sion that our commissioner should
be called to account. In one ques
lion Putnam county is particularly
interested-what has become of the
