1t is Lot to be wondered at that Senator
Plunkitt Tam. Dem. squrmed yesterday
when Mr. Thomas B. Asten, ex-President of
the Tax Commission, suggested to the Senate
Committee how money might be saved to the
City by reforming municipal methods and by
putting more power to regulate salaries i'll the
hands of the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment. Nothing would discOncert Plunkitt
more than radical change in our present sys-
TEN. His particular forte at Albany last win
ter was to introduce and urge private bills, fix
ing by law the salaries of city employees, thus
placing them beyond the reach of officials bent
Oh retrenchment. If the Board Of Estimate
was properly constituted and empowered, men
like Plunkitt would speedily lose their occupa-
ton.

The circumstances attending the burning of
the tenement-hOu in East Sixty fourth st.
make out a strong case of arson against man
of the name of Kohut, who had room in one
of the buildings. 1t is impossible to see how
he can escape paying the extreme penalty CT
the law for causing the death Of three persons
unless some remarkable evidence in bis favor
be developed later. The Fire Department au-
tborities should, and doubtless they will, push
the case against this man vigorously. There
is need of the effect which would be
brought about by furnishing him severely, for
arson is a crime of altogether too frequent oc-
currence in this city; moreover 1t is not often
that such excellent proof can be obtained
against persons of whose guilt no enc has
reasonable doubt.

The Russians in Afghanistan.

Sir Peter Lumsden's despatch seems to
settle lbeyond doubt that Gen. Komaroff,
long before his attack on Penjdeh, had Off
cial notice of the agreement between Eng
land and Russia that pending negotiations
which were then proceeding, neither the Rus
slams nor the Afghans should advance into
the disputed territory. Gen. Komaroff's
attack on Penjdeh was made, therefore, in
direct violation of an agreement, of which he
had full notice. The question remains to
be settled whether his advance was
made with the conniyance of the authorities
at st. Petersburg, or upon the personal re-
sponsbility of Gen. Komaroff alone. And
that is one which it is not going to be an
easy matter to dispose of. Russian diplom-
acy is deceitful, and is prone to indulge in
ambiguous phrases. Already sort of denial
that the st. Petersburg authorities were
aware that Gen. Komaroff was going to ad-
vance has been made, but ceuched in such
terms that it did not carry conviction to the
Engish government nor the English people.
Indeed, the latter, at least, seem to be
thoroughly convinced that it was not sincere,
and that the fact is that Komarof7s move
ment was pre-arranged.
just what the condition of things on the
Afghan frontier is at present, is doubtful.
One report says Komaroff has abandoned
Penjdeh, while another represents him as
having established provisional government,
which would indicate that Russia had decid-
ed to permanently retain the place, or at any
rate to place it in hands friendly to Rus
sian interests. We can well believe the re-
ports that the Russian operations on the
Afghan frontier have not been without indu-
ence on the Afghans, and that the latter are

AT the meeting of the police commission
on Saturday night, g plan for examining
applicants for places on the police force was
submitted to the commission for examina-
tion by Mr.. Sidney W. Thaxter. An outline
of this plan is given elsewhere. Apparently
the certificates of three citizens testifying
that they believe that the applicant is of
good moral character are to be taken as con-
elusive on that point, aud the board is to
deal simply with the applicants physical
and educational qualifications. We question
somewhat if this will prove a suffic lent safe
guard. 1t seems to us that it would be well
to bring the applicants sponsors before the
board to be interrogated, or if that is no
practicable, to oblige them to answer certain
specific questions bearing on the applicants
character in their certificate. 1t Will be seen
that in making up the applicants general
average, his physical qualifications are TO be
given double the weight of his educational
qualifications, and his educational qualifca.
tions treble the weight of his experience.
We are inclined to think that il his expert
ence has been gained in connection with
police service in this city, it is entitled to
more consideration relatively than is here
given it. Familiarity with localities and
knowledge of the men who constitute
the criminal classes, are of very great value
in a policeman. 1t would be well, if there
be any practicable way of doing so, for the
board to get some information in regard to
the applicants disposition. A man may
be of coed character, physically perfect and
possess sufficient educational qualifications
and yet have faults of temper which entirely
unfit him to properly discharge many of the
duties which fall to the lot of policemen.

beginning TO waver in their allegiance to the
British. The present Ameer has no reason
to love the English. On the contrary, his
sympathies would naturally be with the Rus
slams. He was supported for the throne of
Afghanistan by the Russians, the English
preferring another, and for five years before
he became Ameer he had lived on Russian
pension. Under the skillful manipulations
OF Lord Dufferin, he recently allied himself
with the British, but there have been plenty
OF signs which indicated that Lord Dufferin
looked upon the alliance as one of con-
Venience, which the Ameer would not be
SLOW to abandon if better offer were made
him by the Russians. The same view has
been taken of the alliance by the British
press and people. 1t has been felt all along
that any signs of wavering on the part of
England, and failure to promptly assist
him to repel an invasion of his territory,
would be speedily followed by his desertion
to the Russians. One of the chief difficult
ties the government has had to contend with
since the attack on Penjdeh, In continuing
the negotiations, has sprung from the dan
ger Of alternating the Afghan allies, by what
might seem to them pusillanmous course;
and it begins to look as if the government
had not succeeded in escaping it. Certain.
ly there are plenty of signs that along the
border the Afghans' sympathies are fast be-
coming Russianized. Several Afghan chiefs
have already given in their allegiance to
Gen. Komaroff, and Lord Dufferin is evil

fore it has had time to sprout and grow.
Ii war is to be the outcome of the present
controversy, it is apperant that every mo-
ment of delay is gain to the Russians and
positive loss to the British. The former
have SO strengthened themselves already on
the frontier that there seems to be little
doubt that IL would be utterly impossible for
the British to prevent the capture and occu-
patton of Herat very soon after war was
declared.
