Senator Hill,s Speech.

The meeting Of tho Democratic editors,
which eliminated In the banquet of Friday
evening, was moro like festival Of
hope than q condolence of despondency
They were all apparently in flrst-rate spirits,
and confident Of redeeming the State to
the Democracy. Their confidence seems
TO be based, however, principally on the
bad record of the Republican Legislature,
which has Just adjourned. Tie Democratic
editors cannot believe that, after such a
Legislature, the people will bo willing to
trust the Republicans again with tho gov
eminent of the State. Perhaps not.
But tho great event was Senator HILLS
speech, and very able and well-calculatsd
speech it certainly was, considered from the
point OF view which tho Senator always
aims to occupy, Of reviving the harmony
aud cheering up the courage of his
party. In this respect We think he
went pretty far, as, for instance. when
he declared himself against Jingoism,
meaning thereby the modern American
spirit and also the willingness, which now
seems to have got the upper hand among our
people, to take part on tho American side In
the affairs OF tho outside world.
Senator HILL seems to be against this
He holds to the ancient doctrine OF
. very limited navy, and Of letting people
beyond our boundaries do pretty much as
they like. In this line Of argument he evi-
dontly runs no risk Of offending Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND or Mr.. GRESHAM; and. though he
does not say it, we conclude that he will
vote against the annexation OF Hawaii and
OF Cuba. should these questions como up in
his day; and also that, If any new battle
ships are to be added to the navy, it will be
done without his approval.
So also in respect Of the silver question,
We suppose there arc many old-fashioned
Democrats who will not DO able to adopt all
the positions taken by Senator HILL.
For instance, they will say it is i'm.
possible for tho nations OF the world
TO agree to coin silver at the "a
ito of Is to /. or any other ratio near It
ard if they should 80 agree. It would pro.
duoe q revolution OF the most radical and
injurious character in prices, and especially
In the price of labor. You cannot make
money cheap without making other things
dear.
But we arc not going to argue these
questions against him. He is seeking Dem.
ooratic harmony, and we trust he will be
able to attain it. Whatever he may accom-
plish can hardly fail to be an immense i'm.
provement upon the political imbecility to
which Mr.. CLEVELAND has labored to re-
duce the party, and 30 far with monu.
mental success.

The arrival in England OF Nasar Ullah. son
and heir Of Abdur Rahman. the Ameer OF ga
bul, is one Of the most important events OF mod
ern times. Nasar Ullah represents q dynasty
which flrst appeared as an independent power
during the informal discord Of Persia after tho
death OF Nadir shah, when Ahmed Khan. the
poet-King, liberated Afehanistan from the Per-
sian rule. His success founded the Dnuranee
dynasty. In recent years this dynasty has by
intermarringe become united to tho Barakza's.
Of whom the Ameers of Cabul arc the chieftains.
But in addition to this the son OF tho Ameer OF
Cabul really represents q conquerinR power
which at ono time governed the whole OF north
ern India. and also founded a school Of archi-
lecture, ns we'll as a dynasty known as tho
Pathan.
No ruler Of the AfChans no son and heir OF
the ruler OF the Afghans has ever visited Eng
lnnd before. In 1912 Shah SuJah. King OF
Cabul. met Mr.. Elphinstone at Peshawar In
regal state; in 1888 Ameer Dost Mohammod
wns taken to India as q prisoner; in 1869 Ameer
Shere Ali was received with all the honors due
TO royalty by Lord Mayo at Umbala. But IL has

to British interests. and the effect OF this upon
the 200. 900 fighting men Of the Afghan tribes
Of Central Asia cannot be overestimated. 1t is
interesting to observe that while IL was not
thought safe to allow tho Prince Of Wales as

We are pleased to know Of the prosperity
of the Training School for Nurses connected
with the P0s.-Graduate Medical School and
Hospital. A class OF th!rty-two members was
graduated last week; there are elghty-sevsn
pupils In training. and the number Of young
women already sent out with diplomas is 1913.
1t is q most useful institution. but We should
think that Its scope ought to be greatly en-
larged, for there must be need of thousands Of

Men who devote themselves to science, as
rule arc comparatively poor. 1t is natural
that tho world should especially sympathiEe
with any one In the ranks of science, who. hav-
ing won wide recognition for enlarging, in some
respect, the bounds of knowledge. Is suddenly
deprived, by some accident, of tho appliances
which ho needs in his work and which have re-
quired many years to collect This 10 tho case
with Prof. JOHN MILNE.
Prof. MILNE Is not yet fifty years of ago but
We believe he has been regarded for some years
a. the foremost authority on the subject OF
earthquakes. He has lived for twenty years In
Japan, a land Of almost incessant earth tremors
and of frequent, violent earthquakes. There he
has devoted tho larger part of his time to the
study of setsmology. Ho has invented or perfect
ed u number Of the more important Instruments,
some OF them OF tho most delicate nature, that
are used to record earth tremors, 10 indicate tho
direction and character of more violent earth
movements, to bring subterranean sounds
within the scope of investigation, and to facili-
tate the study Of all phases Of these appalling
phenomena. His writings arc known, by trans-
lations. in every civilized land and ho has given
much attention to the practical quest ions Of the
best methods Of building in countries subject
to earthquakes and mitigating Es far as possible,
the evils Of these disasters.
On Feb. II last all the working appliances
which Prof. MILNE had accumulated IN twenty
years, all his original records of observations,
his large library, the Instruments he had in
vented or procured and his unpublished manu-.
scripts were destroyed by fire, caused by .
kerosene lamp which was an essential feature
Of his sclf-registerng apparatus. He lost in an
hour all tho tools and helps he had been able to
acquire In his special limo of Investigation. A
moro serious misfortune could hardly befall
him; and tho calamity Is not his alone, for tho
world at lnrGe Is losor when such serious EN-.
barrassment befalls any man who is specially
qualified to deal with problems that are of In
terest to millions Of people.
There is no doubt that tho Japanese Goyern-
ment will do much to repair Prof. MILNE's mis-
fortune, but in his present crippled condition 1t
has been suggested by Eeozraphers and geolo-
gists in Europe that much can be done there
and in America TO help the Professor speedily
to replace part OF his working material. DR..
SUPAN. tho well-known geographar of Gotha,
has just suggested that 1t will be Of much as-
sistance to Prof. MILNE If libraries, publishers.
and authors will send to him copies of their
books and pamphlets relating to volcanic and
earthquake phenomena. Such material may bo
forwarded to him in care of tho Japan Mod.
Yokohama.
We trust that every aid which may make It
easier for Prof. MILNE to work on without sert.
ous interruption will be forthcoming.

We have printed two challenges from
eloquent women who favor woman suffrage to
the accomplished women who oppose It. We
arc sure that Mrs. LILLE DEvEREUx BLAKE
would prove to be no mean champion Of the
cause against any of tho members of the
Woman's Anti-Suffrage Society; and we can
soy as much for Mrs. ELLEN BATrELIR DIET
RICK. Mrs. BLAKE gave notice in her letter to
THE sun that she would gladly meet In public
debate any properly qualified advocate from
the ranks of the "antis"; and Mrs. DIETRICH
wrote warmly OF her desire to encounter the
enemy. whom she taunted by saying that re-
fusai to hold debate you'd be equivalent to
surrender.
Why this delay OF the ants In replying to
tho challenger Surely they cannot be afraid.
They gave proof that they are able to mako
lively speeches and have q good command OF
language. when they spoke before a committee
Of the Legislature at Albany short time ago.
They seemed then to bo as apt In argument and
as courageous In statement as are the women on
the other side. In public debate they would
have the backing Of the strong association they
recently formed. which Is under the direction OF
an Executive Committee composed of seven of
the best-kOwn "soclety women" In tho city.
We may say that at least the two anti-suf-
fragists who went up to Albany ought not to
refuse to try conclusions with the two suf
ffagists who have challenged them.
We were asked by Mrs. BLAKE to appoint q
committee TO mako arrangements for the de-
bate, but It were better that this duty should DO
performed by Mayor sTRoSu.
We would merely repeat q suggestion which
we offered Somo days since. that the debate be
held In the largest arena In the city OF New
York. We may further suggest at this tirne
that an admission fee bs charged. and that the
gate money go to the side which wins. as attested

RETURNING PROSPERITY.

Wages to be Increased at ScoviII's
 Factory in July.
 The best evidence that could be adduced in proof of returning prosperity is found in the fact that manufacturers all over the country are increasing the wages of their employees, or rather giving back the sched- ule of prices which existed prior to the dull period from which we are emerging Already several factories throughout the state have given back the cut down of two years ago and this sa ne thing has been lg on for some time in several departments of the manufacturing concerns of Waterbury.
 Yesterday petition signed by large number of the employees of Scovilrs shop was presented to Treasurer P. Goss ask ing for the wages paid in the factory before the reduction in prices. The help were in- formed that the conditions of the petition would be complied with on the first of July. This is an encouraginr sign of the times and proves that it is the intention of manu- factufers to keep faith with honest em- ployes, for it was stated at the time the reductions were made that the factory would give back the old prices as soon as business would warrant it.

Livery Stable and Several Saloons
 Burned This Morning.
 DANBURY June 1S.-About half past one o'clock this morning the fire alarm called the department to Ives street. the Leonard property on that thoroughfare being sblaze. The fire originated in the rear of Mstten's saloon. in stable occupied by Leonard, a bottler of mineral waters.
 The burning building was situated in the center of block. Five horses were suffocated. Matten's saloon soon took fire and the blaze spread to four othea build inge in the same row, all being badly burned. Tbese buildings were occupied by saloons and 8 wholesale liquor estab- lishment.
 The buildings were insured, though but for small portion of their worth All the property damaged belonged to the Leonard estate. The cause is not definitely known, but it is believed that some one threw a lighted cigar into some hay or straw in the stable, and that the fire smouldered for two or three hours before breaking out into blaze. The loss was $l0 900; insurance s4. 900.
