BENEFITS OF SCUTTLIyG.

The Gladstone Ministry are proiiting by their
own wise policy in Afghanistan. They have an
ally at Cabul who ceased To be puppet- king
and became powerful Sirdar the moment the
English Army was ordered to scuttle out of the
country. If the troops had remained at the
capital and at Candahar, Abdurrahman would
have been dcspsed by the mountain tribesmen
as an English Amecr. The chiefs would have
revolted against him; treachery would have
plotted his downfall, if not his assassination +;
and his supremacy east, west and south could
not have been permanently maintained The
policy of retirement from Candahar, which was
fiercely denounced by Lord Bcaconsiield In one
of his last speeches. has been vindIcated in the
present crisis of Afghan affairs. The Ameer to-
day is not only Engands faithful ally, but also
a powerful sovereign, who can muster an army
of his own to defend his territory.
This result could not have been safely pre-
dicted when Abdurrahman was placed upon the
throne He was a grandson of the famous DOst
Mohammed who died in 1868, soon after COM
pleting the circle of his conqucsts by the capture
of Herat During Shere Ali's reign Abdurrah-
man was in Tnrkestan, where he married a
daughter of the Ameer of Bokhara and estab-
lished close connections with the Russian
KhaDates of Central Asia. In several civil wars
which arose he supported the claims Of Aim TO
the throne. and finally was compelled to take
refuge in Bokhara, where the influence of Gen.
eral Kaufman was predominant. 1t was after
q long period of exile In Russian Turkestan,
where he had personally met the Governor
General at Tashkend, and had been constantly
subjected to the influence of the Northern con-
querors, that he was summoned by the British to
the throne of Cabul. "A Russian Sirdar," he
was called, and England was taunted with hay
ing conquered Afghanistan In order to fling it
away to one of General Kaufimann's puppets.
1t is stale and meaningless jest now. Abdur-
rahman is about to meet Lord Duferin, and to
conclude defensive and offensive alliance
with England against Russia.
Mr.. Lepel Griffin was the Warwick who in
duced the native chiefs aud the British staff to
give the Russian exile chance to show his
gratitude for throne and handsome subsidy.

HUNGRY MISSOURI.

They are not hungry nor thirsty, these Mis-
sourians, and they really do not want much.
What they want, too is merely by way OF moral
recognition, not because it tastes good or fills
the stomach, but to show that the President OF
the United States thinks well of Missouri Dem
ocrats. Perish the thought that they seek Office
for the sake of the office, or the emoluments
thereof. But at a meeting on Tuesday night,
the Congressona delegation decided to ask
President Cleveland to assign the following
places. - in addition to the local patronage" to
candidates from that State, viz: the ministers to
Brazil. Berlin, Mexico, Chill and Belgium. the
Consuls to Belfast, Melbourne, Cardiff, Liver
pool and two other good places in Ireland and
Germany, three heads Of Bureaus at Washing
ton. three Indian agents. and the Chief Justice
of Utah. This is all that they ask at present,
and it is understood that with this as begin
ming the worthy members from that State Will
feel that their merits and services have been to
some extent recognized"
It is a somewhat conspicuous fact, which
possibly Mr.. Cleveland may notice, that tho
delegation which presented these modest re-
quests embraced eight gentlemen who were
carefully elected to stay at home by their con-
stituents How many Of them declined or failed
to get nomination one does not now reInem
ber nor Is 1t important Being out in the cold,
for whatever reason, predisposes man to ap-
prcciate the benefits of warm fire. Inasmuch
rs they all want something the ex-members
may be expected to urge that Missouri should
be recognized with both hands. so to speak.

Abdurrahman being shrewd man has 1aitn-
fully served those who enabled him 20 reign
without sacrificing his character as an Afghan
king. His Russian sympathies have been re-
pressed and he is to-day in position where no
can fight England's battle without incurring
odum in his own mountains as the hIeling OF
foreigners. The Afghan crisis, it must be ad-
mtted, is strong argument In favor Oh the
policy for which the Gladstone Ministry nave
been persistently ridiculed-that OF scuttling.

Doubtless the Aldermen will now think tnae Tux

The Senate will do well to agree with tne
Assembly and adjourn finally on April 70. II
+ho members Of both Houses attend diligently
to business from this day on they can easiy
deliberate upon and pass all the ilhpoi."no
measures before that date, particularly IL 'hey
hold evening sessions one day in the week. An
earlv adjournment always pleases the mass OIL
voters but care should be taken to watch the
rush Of bills at the close. Many good Legls-
lature has had its reputation sadly injured Dy
its performances in the last days OF lts eX-

A hitter contest looms up ahead of the strik-
ers IN Western Pennsylvania. At present they
think they have the advantage of some OF the
mine owners who have large Southern contracts
ON hand. 1t is admitted that these employers
may give in to the men for the time being but
the men themselves confess that when these
contracts are filled, they may have ~ s'rihe
again OF submit to lower prices when the COM
panies are in much better condition 10 meet
strike than just now. Thus little wOuld pe
gained by q temporary victory, especially since
the miners action in regard to the arbitrator
decision shows that they will not keep 1aith
unless they want to, no matter what conditlons
they agree to.
The Police Board was made non-partlsan 81
that police matters might be managedl In nom

cinct is based only on political reasons IL Is
hard to see how it can properly be made. 90
long as the precinct is properly controlled the
politics of the person in charge OF it ought moi
to be considered; and yet the Mayor and the
County Democracy want Republican put out
and Democrat put in. The officers political
faith might be important if the Mayor was ex-
pecting to carry any Office in the Hall by storm

New-Jersey Republicans evidently are not
ready to give up the fight yet. The county
elections of Tuesday show decided gains for
that party. This may mean hearty approval
of Mr.. Clevelands Cabinet; but it does not
look like it. Neither does it promise well for
continued Democratic rule in New-Jersey.

The annual Supply bill has been reported to

crease of something over 100000 compared

to be increased as much as might naturally
have been expected, if at ala fact which will
add to the popularity of the present Legis-
lature.

There is a good deal of force in the argu-
ments of the counsel for the elevated roads
against the bill to force the company to put
dripping pans along the entire length OF the
structures. They would darken the streets
much more than at present, and, If possible,
make the tracks uglier. But it is absurd to
say that all the protection needed against drip
pings from the trains and tracks is provided.
That is asking the public not to believe the
evidences of the spots on their hats and clothes.

For careless and indifferent management the
New-York Dock Department has long been
peculiar, and for that reason, if no other, the
bill introduced in the Senate yesterday should
be pushed through This measure very prop
erly provides that the department shall have a
single head, and stand on the same basis as the
other divisions of the city government. One
benefit of the change would be that in course
of time, probably, the department would con-
struct reports that could be understood.

The valuable and interesting report of the Niagara
Falls Reservation Commissioners, now before the
State Legislature brings out strongly the fact that
the Falls might easily be made great object lesson
I'm the study of geology and kindred sciences. All
men Of science know this. and have utilized their
knowledge so far as the present atrocious system
will allow But there are many Others besides men
of ,science ho are interested in the geological facts
brought to light by these great falls. 1t is needless
to say that at present facilities offered them
to investigate these facts. Have the shortsighted
people who oppose the State ownership Of Niagara
Falls paused to reflect what an educator this sreat
natural wonder might bef Many of the counties
in which opposition to this scheme has appeared
spend, without any .compuncton, much more
money for schools than their county school tax
amounts to. They entirely willing to have
other weathier counties or cities help them out in
their educational expenses. but object when they
are asked to contribute mite for the purchase OF
something which would be perpetual object lesson
of the most striking kind to all who might visit it.

ments regularly made, would make
business a. good during winter As in
summer.
Mining men claim that the great
drawback to winter mining is the OK
pense and difficulty Of keeping roads
open. In this section, where snow
falls about the middle, or latter part,
OF December and remains until April ,
there would be no trouble in running
sleighs over roads it the snow would
pack. One Of the largest mining
operators Of Haley has discovered a
means for making good roads during
winter which he has tested and found
practical. 1t is to run sprinkling cart,
until the snow becomes wet when il
will pack, and at night will freeze
thus making a solid roadbed that will
last all winter. Mine operators il
Vienna, Sawtooth, Gslena, BouldeI
and other up country points will MAKE
a. effort, next year, to adopt thu
sprinkling system, and keep carts a
stations along the roads at interval
of 10 miles.
