THE AFGHAN MATTER.

There should be no misconccption con
corning the genesis of the trouble on the
Afghan border. The attempt to settle the
boundary question was sincere and honora-
bic. England long ago conceded that the
Turcomans should be acknowledged as
under a species Of proteetorate, and Russia
admitted the claim Of Britain to guard
Afghan interests, and both the wards were
content to be thus treated. The difficulty
has been 70 agree where these respective
Jurisdictions begin and where they end.
The Turcomans have desired the region
south of the Merry, while Russia has been
anxious to recognize the hills on the north
of Herat as the Afghan boundary. But
this would cut the Turcomans off by some
seventy-six miles from the rich lands they
desire for their stock raising enterprises.
\ Boundary Commission was chosen to fix
the proper lines, and all parties concerned
appointed members upon it. When the
commission appeared upon the ground,
however, the people OF both the semi
barbarous sections and Afghanistan began
to. fortify, and seized upon 4 post beyond
her original claims, as generally understood
to exist The Russians took this to be q
menace to their more advanced posts, and
hence sent troops south toward IEerat.
The English section Of the commission at
this protested. Russia signifed her will
ingncss to retire her troops if Alghanistan
would do the same, and ont Of this grew
the difficulties now occupying some atten-
ton. We do not believe open war will re-
suit One effect of the recent agi-
tation Of the Afghan question has
been to give Mr.. Gladstone oppor-
tunity to recover some of the ground
that was slipping from beneath the feet OF
his administration, for he has been positive
as to a peace policy and has strengthened
his party thereby; but it was that kind OF
peace policy that was made forcible by the
determination to exact observance of the
treaty terms and this has gained him the
favor Of all the people

again reversing this order. 1t is con
cluded. therefore, that cholera germs exist
for VARYING times but how long they re-
main latent in a given place there is no
evidence to show. Sometimes whole
year elapses, then but few months, and 1t Is
susceptible of proof that in Europe they
die out. He antagonizes the idea that the
germs spread bv human intercourse, may
act in harmony with the conditions Of soil
and subsoil water, and he AYERS that no
cbaDter in the history of cholera is darker
than that containing this theory. While
no one knows whether cholera comes to us
through the medium Of air, water, food or
insects. it is safe to indict water in time
of epidemic, but it must not be held up to
the exclusion of other factors. His re-
searches lead Pettenkofer to the conclusion
that the epidemic in Munich in 1854 had
no relation to the drinking water. Impure
water may not spread the cholera, but it

system to take in cholera. The doctor does
not place any value whatever upon the
drinking-water theory-that the use of
water is Il means of conveying the disease,
and shows by citations that it as often
ceases where the use OF water continues,
as where it IS does not. Concerning Koch's
discovery the doctor simply says it invites
to an interesting field of pathological re-
search, but Is not solution OF the cholera
question. So, too the doctor assails, if he
does not destroy, the theory that cholera
spreads1nost rapidly along lines of rail
way, but does believe that it follows great
water-courses downward. Thus far the
eminent physician and scientist has not
advanced his own views with any definite
moss, and has devoted himself to breaking
down the iocaIists and contagionists, but
later translations and other papers will
probably furnish them.

SWITZERLAND in expeIling anarchists

republics than monareIiies She could not
longer afford to make her territory 4

those who howl it in the streets Of Chicago
Too long her cities have been the hot-beds
for such eonspirators to plot injury to
nations with which the little Republic Is
at peace. The anarchist is the enemy Of all
men, and he should be shown no protection
among the people Of any country. The
