"War's a game which, were their
subjects wise, kings would not play
at" Yes, but there's the rub. Now,
Alexander, Gar, doesn't want any
prettier fun that to send his nihilists to
knife Afghanistanise. The normal ap-
petite for blood is satisfied, and the
crown sits more solidly on a brow
that has been feverish Of late. And
gentle Victoria, she's at Air k Bains
we believe, drinking the waters, but
how handy it is to have Gladstone
furnish her Irish subjects other than
English heads to break. Did you ever
wonder why the pieces at chess were
kings, and queens, and bishops, and
knights and castles, and how by all
laws of nature and analogy the pieces
have power over the men, the pawns!
At last, its all a game of chess with
common men for pawns and titled ones
for pieces.

The provisional government is ergani-

tanned. The Shenandoah landed 100
men Thursday. Although many u
mors of a possible tumult when they
landed had been circulated, there was
no disorder. The men guard the
wharves, offices and rolling stock of
the Panama railroad company. A
meeting was held by foreigners and
natives to consider the situation. A
memorial was adopted declaring that
the danger of an attack from Buena
Vista and Carthagena made it neces-
sary to declare the state neutral, and
calling upon the president to send COM
missioners to notify the leaders at
those points. The opinion was ex-
pressed that if further attacks should
be made from abroad it wonld be
necessary to declare the state indepen-
dent and appeal to the great powers
for protection. Captain Morton, COM

All England is ablaze with the news

All England is ablaze with the news
from A~fghanistau. The Official Mes
of ST. Petersburg, published
the following Thursday morning:"Gen-
erel Kamaroff reports that in conse-
ouence of hostile manifestations by the
Afghans, he was compelled to attack
the Afghans, who were posted upon
both banks of the river Kushk in fortl-
fed positions. The fight occurred on
March 80. The Afghan force consisted
of 1000 men and eight guns. They
were defeated with the loss of 500 men.
All their artillery, two stands OF BAN
rters, and the entire camp outfit and
all the provisions Of the Afghans were
captured. The Russian loss was three
subalterns and ten soldiers killed and
twenty nine wounded. When the
fighting was ended General Ksmaron
returned across the river to the posi-
ton he had formerly occupied" A de-
spatch to the London Times from Cub
rar dated April 8, states that the Rus
slams while making a pretext OF chang
ing the position Of their outposts on
the Afghan frontier attacked Penjdeh
on March 80 and drove the Afghans
out of their positions. The Afghans
stubbornly resisted their assailants .
The weather was wet at the time OF
the attack which rendered the muzzle'
loading guns Of the Afghans useless,
but two companies held one position
against the Russians until they were
all killed. The Afghans retreated to
Maranchak in perfect order, and the
Russians made no pursuit. There Is
no doubt that the Russians deliberately
and unnecessarily make the attack.
This would indicate that the Russian
protestations of desire for peace are
diplomatic false pretenses, that Russis
wants war, and that consequently
| there will be war.

portions that it can be seen and under
stood from Maine to California. 1t Is
a lesson that the regulation partlsans
will not welcome ; it is a tribute to
honest government that the whole
country will applaud. There
was special fitness in his reappolnt-
ment because of the fact that the re-
form republicans of New York who
supported Cleveland made Pearson the
representative Of their faith and made
the issue on his continuance In ofdce
Thus presented, the president could
fail to respond by the disappointment
Of Pearson only by exposing himself to
the charge of sacrificing the accepted
embodiment of honest Administration
to partisan interests in New York.
There will be some democratic dlsap-
pointment over Pearson's re-nomina-

qualification and Cancellation in reform

overbalance the loss. It is an unmis-
taxable Cleveland landmark eff perfect
