Lord Dufferins spectacular performances at
HAWAI- Pindi, India, representing the military
strength of England have been successful.
They have completely captured the Ameer Of
Afshanistan, who says that he is much Obliged
to the Queen for her favors. and when sword
was given to him, he remarked that he hoped
TO strike the enemies of England with it. Thus
by gifts shows and fine words has Lord DUFF
fern materially lcsseled the chances of warbe-
tween Russia and England.

BROOKLYN druggists clerk who caused the death
of Mr.. Keller. He is an educated man, and II
he had looked at the prescription carefully he
could not possibly have made fatal mistake.
His carelessness, therefore, is more criminal
than il he had been an ignorant person, and
there seems to be the best OF reasons why what
ever law applies to his case should be strictly
enforced. Physicians, also, will perhaps be
warned by this unfortunate accident to write
their prescriptions so plainly that the most
careless clerk cannot fail to read them Alright.
In the Senate the Canned Goods bill has been
advanced. This measure proposes remedies
for many of the defects in the present law, and
while it may possibly need some amending, on
the whole it is calculated to strike at certain
evils in this branch of trade. At first manufact-
ton in this direction; but the amount OF
.soaked" and even poisonous stuff that was
put upon the market finally convinced them
that some law like the present one was needed.
No man who sends out sound. wholesome, hon
est goods need fear anything; and the manu-
facturers of unsOund or poisonous preserves
ought to be made responsible under heavy PEN
alties.
The unofficial returns give Carter Harrison n
small majority as Mayor of Chicago. Knowing
what everybody knows of this interruptions
poiitician's methods, we fear the official count
may give the same result. Some of the good
Chicago people, it is said, consider that Har
rison has met with "moral defeat" Unfortu
natey that is precisely the kind of defeat
he does not mind in the least If the citizens
of Chicago want to give him reverse that he
will really feel, they must work diligently from
now until the next election IN showing up the
enormity of his crimes and those of the gam
blers behind him. Then, perhaps, he or his
"manr will be buried out of sight under honest
voters ballots That is the kind of defeat
Harrison would mind.
The bill to relieve the pressure of work in
the Surrogate's Office is getting along well in
the Assembly, as it ought to do. 1t IS a wise
measure. At present the Surrogate is obliged
to hear personally all the evidence in con-
tested will cases. Even in the most trivial
ones ne is not allowed to appoint referees. The
result is that the business of his office moves
with irritating slowness Evidently something
should be done to remedy this evil. The Court
of Common Pleas has time on its hands occa-
sionally, and this leisure would be we'll spent In
helping the Surrogate with his work. 1t is a
pleasing feature of this bill that if it becomes
law it will not put additional expense on the
