Some strange stories have been told of the
way in which Abdurrahman Khan, Ameer
of Afghanistan, lords it over his people.
There is humor in his way of playing the
part of Lord Absolute, which can best be
appreciated at distance, as a story which
has Just reached us will show. Not long
age, we are told, the ameer was sitting in
durbar discussing public affairs. The
shome" department had gone through their
work. Orders had been issued to release
certain persons from the SORROWS of exist
ence, when the durbar suddenly dashed into
greater things, and began to talk about the
English and the Russians. A man who had
lately been introduced at court, and was not
we'll acquainted with his sovereign's ways,
remarked, "Lord Of the earth, let people say
what they like, but this humble one has

There is no little indignation in New York
City over Speaker Carlisle's assignment of
the House committees. The great yoke fell
low of the Solid South in the Democratic
team has to put up with the husks while the
corn goes to the other side Of the crib. New
York City sends eight Representatives to
Congress, is tie great money center of the
country, the greatest manufacturing and
commercial city of the continent, a city of
extensive commerce over both sea and land,
the home Of thousands Of laborers and the
resort of the greatest lawyers. Yet it has
no representation on the judiciary commit
tee, or the committee on labor, or manufac-
lures, or Pacific railroads, or foreign affairs,
or rivers and harbors, or ways and means, or
appropriations. or banking or currency. On
none Of the other important committees has
a Representative from New York City any
spg but subordinate place. To the
South, on the other hand, have gone thirty
Of the fifty chairmanships, and the chair
manships of all the important committees
except the appropriation committee where
Mr.. Randall holds the fort are filled by
Southerners. On the most important COM
mittee of all. the committee of ways and
means, as it was originally arranged, Mr..
Carlisle had upon the list five men born in
Kentucky, Mr.. Carlisle's native State AS
it stands. after Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
has been put upon it, it has for original
Kentuckians the chairman and three other
men, viz. Mcmillan, of Tennessee; Brock
inridge, of Kentucky, and Breckenridge of
Arkansas. Before it helped the South into
power New York city should have stipulated
for part Of the honors. Perhaps, however,
New York city would be all right if it would
send to Congress better men. OF them all,
Mr.. Cox alone may be said to have national
reputation.

1t is to be regretted that the Reading Rail
road company laid on the table resolution
offered at its annual meeting to settle the
miners strike by arbitration. The contest
between the miners and the company in
wolves no question of principle. In that re-
spect it is very different from the controyer-
sy with the train hands. That grew out of
an attempt ON the part of the freight hand
lers to prevent men from working because
they did not belong to the Knights of Labor.
The right Of the road to hire such men as it
pleases is an indisputable one, and it was
perfectly right to refuse to allow anybody to
dictate to them on that point. But the dis
pute with the miners relates simply to wages.
Every corporation, especially corporation
that derives so many privileges from the
public as railroad corporation, is bound to
pay its employees fair wages. In determining
what are fair wages the financial condition
of the company, and the state of its business,
as we'll as the nature of the work Of the en-
ployes and the cost of living are to be con-
sidered. The miners claim that their pres
ent wages are SO low that they cannot earn
enough to support themselves and their fami-
lies. At the present prices Of coal miners
ought to be able to earn that much If they
are fairly dealt with by their employers. The
only reply, so far as we have observed, that
the Reading company make to the min
ers complaint is a refusal to grant the adj
vance requested by the miners. The latter
ask that their case and the e0mpany's case
be presented to a number of impartial men
and let them decide what is just and right in
view Of all the circumstances and agree to
abide by the result Of their decision. But
the Company refuses. Why? 1t is difficult
to imagine but one reason, and that is the
fear that the decision would be against them,
and that they would be compelled to grant
the justice which they now refuse. 1t is the
duty of employers TO aid in every reasonable
way in the settlement of labor troubles
peaceably. 1t is for their interest too in the
long run TO do SO.
