Gladstone and the Pamir Issue.

How will Mr.. GLADSTONE meet the Pamir
issue? This is question which it must be
conceded may seriously affect the hold of
the British Liberal party upon power. The
issue could not have arisen at q more criti-
cal time for Mr.. GLADSTONE. aud it is not
impossible that it may change the Conser-
vative policy in respect of the matter of
contesting the Grand Old Mans seat when
he goes back to the people after taking
Office. That Russia should have renewed
aggression in the neutral zone immediate
ly upon Mr.. GLADsroSE's election and
after having few months ago withdrawn
from the territory in response to protest
FROM SALISBURY is clearly recog-
milton on the part of the Gear that
be has little to fear from Mr..
GLADsToNE's foreign policy. GLADsToNE's
whole record on the eastern question,
and especially his record in respect of the
Afghan boundary dispute. constituted an
invitation 10 Russia TO attempt the exten-
sion Of her sphere of influence in the East.
Nevertheless. the present Russian move
meut is IN every way calculated to
weaken Mr.. GLADSTONE and prove factor
in fastening his downfall. 1t confirms the
impression existing at the Foreign Office
in London that Russia is behind the revolt
against the Ameer, and brings wildly be-
fore the pubic mind the spectre of Cor
DON. "the butcher and bolt" tactics on the
Red Sea littoral, and the fact that TO GLAD
syoSE's vacillation and policy of peace at
any price is cbargeable the loss of the
Soudan.
So far China has been the chief sufferer
territorially from the Russian advance in
the Pamir. bat should that advance con-
tinue Afghanistan would in the end be the
principal loser, and the Russians would be
thrown in direct contact with the tribes
subject to Cashmere. That England cannot
permit this condition of things does not
admit of question. 1t therefore fol-
lows, considering the sensitiveness of
the British public on the Afghan
question and what 1t involves. that the
situation could hardly be more encou-
raging for SALISBURY. II is situation in
which the people are apt TO remember that
GLADSTONE practically threw away vast
deal of what BEAooSsFIELp had gained for
England in Central Asia. and that SAILS
BURY was a pupil of BEAooSsFIELD's, and
has been true to the teachings of his
master.

Respectfully, l. N. DOUBT.

A tax is required on the note of $1,000
held by wife, and the merchant who sells
the shoes is subject to license in lieu OF

Notes TO secure deferred payments on
real estate are taxable. Possibly many OF
such notes are not listed.

Congress-.

Congress adjourned on Friday and left q
vast amount Of business undone. If the
traditions OF that body would allow it to
do 50, 1t might well sit all the year round.
Where are the postal reforms for which so
many people have been clamoring?
Where are the numerous other bills which
ought TO have become laws ere now
Hundreds of meritorious bills lie still in
death because when Congress dies all its
unfinished bills die with 1t. These
bills have to be reintroduced, again
reported upon. and again voted upon. A
constitutional amendment might be pro-
posed by Congress remedying this waste of
time. And this might be done without
allowing such measures as the force bill
another chance for their lives. Forty-four
States now have their stars upon the ma
tionai banner. lightweight senators rep
resent those states IN the upper house.
Nearly $50 members answer 10 the roll-call
of the nations House OF Representatives.
A continuing Congress cannot long be
STAYED OF. IL would be easier TO have
such Congress il there were not over 200
members in the House OF Representatives.
Then the representatives would not try to
shake hands with oil OF their constituents.

Peleg; for in his days uds he earth decided.
1t is generally supposed from this that
Peleg lived contemporaneously with the
dispersion of Babel. 1t is. however, quite
possible that the reference is to a more
partial division of regions and separation
of races. The genealogy is at the point
referred TO specially concerned with the
descendants of Shem and the ancestry of
the promised race, which is here traced
down TO Peleg. TO be continued farther in
chapter XII, IS, ei seq. The two races which
sprang from Eber soon separated very
widely from each other, the one (Eber and
his family spreading northwestward to-
wards Mesopotamia and Syria, the other

As the sacred narrative, in verses 81 and 80,
chapter X, speaks expressly of the general
spreading forth Of the sons of Noah, and
in chapter XII, 10, relates the confusion of
their languages, 1t is very probable that in
this verse the division of the land con-
Germs only the separation of the Shemites.

that question will not enter into the presi-
Dental fight, and the people are deter

adds that an attempt to assemble two ie-

Mr.. starenson-Again.

Recurring 70 Mr. SrEyKssoE's Louisville
speech. II may be said that il proves con-
clusively that he Is no doctrtndtre or euphu-
Sat who uses languageto conceal thought.
He does not mince mis- words or deal in
pretty rhetorical nothings that captivate
the fancy and leave no lasting impression,
but COOS directly 70 the kernel of the sub
sect Ia hand. and holds ii up plainly
TO public view. Ia his presenta-
ton of the horrors Of the roconstruc-
ton period. Mr.. STEVENSON spoke out
Of heart full OF sympathy with the south
ern people, and bis forecast Of what would
be the consequences Of the passage OF the
force DILL showed that he also spoke out OF
q mind that had thoroughly grasped the
iniouities Of that measure and what its
enactment into law was designed 70 ac-
complish. Mr.. STEVENSON touched upon
other subjects in which the people are
interested, and he treated them forcibly,
but his vigorous Characterization OF the
force bill made 1t apparent that he recog-
nized that as the paramount Issue OF the
campaign-the issue in which the rights
and liberties of the entire South and con-
tiuued progress towards better feeling be-
tween the two sections are involved.
We have said that Mr.. STEVENSON should
be invited to speak in Virginia, and we
wish that he could be heard in every State
In the North. He has. we think, sounded
the bugle for the Democratic onset in
both sections. A persistent effort Is be-
ing made by some Of the leading Republic
can journals at the North to obscure the
fact that the force bill is part of the
political creed of their party. Some OF
these journals 60 so far "a TO say
that the declaration IN the Mn
neapolis platform in respect OF the
measure was mistake. and urge that the
question be kept out Of the canvass at the
North. Yet these same papers would in
the event of the election Of HARRISON and
o Republican Congress press the enact
ment of the iniquity into law, and the en-
forcement of that law to the letter. Their
pretended change of heart is a snare and
a delusion. They would not deplore the
passage OF the force bill. Such legislation
would delight them. as they see in IL the
only hope of breaking the solid South. re-
organizing their negro cohorts, and again
dominating this section. What they really
.seplore is that their party should bave
shown its hand in respect Of this matter.
Neither at the North nor ut the South
should the Republican party be allowed to
get away from the force bill as campaign
issue. The Democratic speakers through
but the country should follow MIR. STEVEN
Box's example and give it prominence.
While other issues should not be ignored,
ehey should all be subordinated to this
one. In the force-bill issue the Republican
party has furnished US weapon for ITS
pwn destruction. provided we WELD 1t as
ere ought to.

Llghtning-Rod Protection. &c.


To the Editor of DE Dispatch:
1. Can you or any Of your readers in
form me If they have known injury from
lightning to person or property 10 house
TO which lightniug-rod was properly adj
justed
?. Do scientific electricians consider
houses whose roofs ere covered with metal
exempt from injury by lightning, and il so,
why! j. X. Z.
]. Recent investigations tend to show
that even Observation-Disclosures light
ning-rod does not ensure absolute safety
from the destructive effects of lightning.
There is no doubt. however. that if the adj
justment is really scientific the protection
afforded is made very nearly absolute.
2. The assertion that house having
metal roof Is exempt from lightning strokes
has been very confidently made. but there
is no very evident reason why this exemp-
ton should exist.

Cure for rheumatism.

RICHMOND. VA.
To ne Editor of ne DisDntca
Please tell me what will cure the rheu-
matism, if there is any cure for II.
There are many kinds Of rheumatism
acute, chronic, neuralgia, DC. The disease
differs in degree as well as in kind. Some
cases if taken at once are easily cured !;
others are more difficult. Others still are
iucurable. In old people, when the joints.
especially the knee-ioints. remain long
swollen. cure is very doubtful, ifnot impos-
sible. Rheumatism Is inherited. butts often
also brought on by excess in eating and
drinking. Temperate habits may keep it
of in those predisposed TO 1t by inheritance.
The fact that there are so many remedies
is evidence that no one remedy is reliable
in ell cases. The doctors, we believe. are
not at MI satisfied with the present RENE
dies and are searching for others.
