Even if Mr.. Gladstone's Government were
willing to cede Penjdeh, and the English Nation
were ready to accept that concession, the prob
ability is that nothing would result but delay
favorable to Russia alone, and that war would
not be averted in the end, though it would have
to be made eventually by England under
greater disadvantages than at present. The
difficulties in the way of lasting peace are so
great as to be almost insuperablc, In fact. In
the first place no agreement between England
and Russia as to the delmitatiOn of the Afghan
frontier can be trustworthy, for the reason that
any such agreement must depend upon the
postion, not of tho Ameer, but of those tribes,
nominally under his control, but which practi-
cally decide for themselves. If these tribes APP
prove of the Ameer's policy they will follow 1t.
If they do not ike it they will ignore it. In the
second place the Russian occupation OF Penjdeh
and the adjacent Afghan territory is calculated
to foment irritation among these tribes, and
since Russian policy in Central Asia is notori-
ously both progressive and aggressive, it is idle
To expect tolerant endurance of tribal hostility
on the part of her frontier commanders. The
cession of Penjdeh, therefore, could only lead
to further annexation and even should actual
intrigue would certainly be at work to separate
from the Ameer's rule the loosely connected
tribes occupying the country between Penjdeh
and Herat.
These are principally the Hazaraks and
Aimaks. They are not Afghans, and they care
little for the Ameer. If they realized the extent
and magnitude of the Russian power they might
weld themselves as the Merry Tckkes did, or
they might be Overreached, like the latter, by
Russian guile Mr.. Marvin in his recent book
points this out. He says: " IL Russia retains
@her present position, she will be admirably
aplaced for intriguing with the non-Afghan
@peoplcs, and detaching them one by one from
I" the kmeers rule. The Jemshidis would be
Operated upon first, then the Uzbegs, after
"ward the Hazaraks and Aimaks, and so on,
@with very little trouble" BY such policy,
which she is already practised in, Russia could
eat her way into the heart of Afghanistan, dis
ntegrate the populations of the country, and
thus neutTalize any treaties made between Eng
land and the Ameer. And the result would be
inevitably war, but war with Russia in the
Herat Valley, with Afghan tribes in her pay,
with English prestige in India already danger
ously lowered, and with the chances of revolt in
Hindostan seriously increased That appears
to be all that can possibly come from postponng
the inevitable collision. The one advantage to
be set against the drawbacks specified would
be that England would then fight nearer her
base Of supplies; but that advantage would DO

LET BUDDENSIEK BE TRIED SPEEDILY.

LET BUDDENSIEK BE TRIED SPEEDILY.
The Grand Jury have acted promptly and
properly in finding true bills against Con-
tractor Buddensiek and his foreman. Now let
the cases be brought to trial speedily. District
Attorney MARITIME says he Is prepared
for this, and no delay should DC
allowed to prevent full justice
being done. The facts already brought out
look bad for Buddensek. What his defence
will be has of course not yet appeared. But
there need be no fear that he will not have
fair trial. Public sentiment is now strongly
aroused against him, it is true, but that will not
interfere with the due course OF Justice.
The result of the Fish trial has treasured our
wavering faith in the efficiency OF trial by
jury. Let the jurymen in the Buddensiek case
acouit themselves as well as those who sat in
the trial recently concluded, and the PUBLIC
will have no reason to complain.
That Buddensiek has for years persistently
skinned the buildings which he has been
hired to erect there can be no doubt. lie ana
men like him have long been menace to life
and health in this city. The man who uses
mortar In which there is no sand, who allows
bricks full of water that has frozen
TO be laid, who puts In such wretched plumbing
that the houses are filed with sewer gas, ought
to be as amenable to punishment as he who
uses the knife or pistol to take away life. For
this man puts in jeopardy the lives and the
health of hundreds of men. women and children
and does it knowingly, wilfully, maliciously.
Buddensiek has been indicted for manslaugh-
ter IN the second degree. The penalty for this
crime is fifteen years imprisonment and fine
of ST 900. If he is convicted, he should not
escape with less than the full punishment.

BID HORK At ALBANY.

The discreditable scenes which followed
Commissioner Squire's visit to Albany empha-
size the need of an early adjournment OF the
Legislature. The water meter bills are jobs
pure and simple. The existing law on this
subject is broad enough to cover any need Tor
the use of meters 1t gives the Commissioner
of Public Works the power to place such
meters at the expense of the owners of the
property in hotels and other public buildings
using large quantities of water. Under
Senator "Timn Campbelps bill that power is
is extended 80 that Commissioner Squire can
place a meter in every building, public or
private, in the city, which is connected
with the water service. He can also
fix the rates for the use of the water
This will place every household in Newly
at his mercy.
When it is considered how the existing law
has been used to serve personal and political
ends, some idea may be had of the proportions
of this Job now before the Legislature. sim
gle illustration will serve the purpose. During
the canvass of 1888 Commissioner Thompson
rdered several hundred liquor dealers and
other persons living in the With Senate Dis
trict to put water meters in their places OIL
business. Six months later it was shown be-
fore the Senate Committee that only few OF
those meters had been put in those buildings.
The price of exemption was support OF Mr..
Thompson's candidates for office. That was not
an isolated case. Now it is proposed to put
the entire city under tribute to this one Official.
The power that it would give him in the next
election would perhaps secure the return OF
those Senators and Assemblymen who support
the measure, though that may well be doubted.
The job has not only political
side The meters are purchased by
the Commissioner at extravaSant rates
on 1899 orders from a syndicate III
which certain leaders of the County Democ-
racy are said to be the controlling spirits. The
plumbing is done on orders given to other MEM
bers of that faction. As shown by the Senate
Committee in its report on this matter the
prices charged were extravaganza. But the ex-
pense was made a lien on the proper
tv in each case. To enable this
syndicate to extend enormously its
profits by placing meters "and other apph-
ancesn in every house or building in the city,
opens precisely the same field which Tweed set
out to explore when he contracted for the Ma
varro meters That Senators who investigated
this matter should have supported this measure
in the Senate is not creditable to them.
This city has just expended several million
dollars for an increased supply of water from
the Bronx River and it is expanding untold
millions fora further supply through new
aqueduct. The Department of Public Works
promised that water would be coming through
that aqueduct IN two years and half
considerable part of which time has already
expired. Under these circumstances to at
tempt to force the owners of private houses to
use meters is nothing less than an outrageous
job. And it is by no means the only one of the
kind that has been favorably reported from the
Committee on Cities in both houses.

to sway the imagination of the English people,
Thea came the inevitable reaction from diplo-

excitement. Lord Beaconsiield was charged
with having wasted the resources of the Empire

multiplied obligations abroad without pro-
noting the safety of the Colonies or the welfare
of Christendom. On this indictment he was

more than offset by the gain to Russia OF pos
session of the great fertile area OF the Herat
Plain and the Valley of KhOrassan--which
latter she would doubtless occupy at the be-
ginning of hostilites.
Under the circumstances it is difficult to
understand how Mr.. Gladstones Government
can hope to base lasting peace on the cession
of Penideh, or upon any delimitation scheme
practicable now that the Russians have already
invaded Afghanistan and actually hold the key
of Herat. The situation is the more perplexing
inasmuch as it seems no longer possible to put
any faith in the most solemn assurances OF the
Russian Government.
