Too oblIEing.

The ameer OF Atghanistan must
surely be a very obliging man, II a
story told of him be true. Not many
years ago queens messenger or some
other official was on his way to Ca
hul, when he had the misfortune TO be
robbed. He was in no way injured by
the robbers. but the British govern
ment preferred a complaint. which
came duly to the knowledge OF the
smeer. No reply was received, and the
months passed. At last the ameer
wrote, and his letter showed the ear
nestness of his desire to oblige the
queen. The matter you mention"
said the letter, has been thoroughly
investigated, and not only have the
robbers Of your messenger been put to
death, but all their children. as well
as their fathers and grandfathers. 1
hope this Will give satisfaction to her
majesty the queen. Nevertheless 1t Is
doubtful II 1t did.

Here is a fine instance OF Mr.. Bryan s
disingenuousness. In his recent speeches
he has been pointing to the Zulu treaty
or agreement as evidence that. the Pres
ident had deliberately asssnted to the
continuance of slavery In the Zulu ar
chipelagO. The other day the assistant
secretary OF war called his attention to
President McKinley's instructions to
General Otis approving the general pro-
visions Of the treaty, but making the i'm
portant reservation that the civil rights
and conditions of the Inhabitants of the
archipelago should be decided by Con-
gress. Yesterday Mr.. Bryan replied to
this letter, and after acknowledging the
facts stated by the assistant secretary of
war be added this:
You can but know, however, that since
the President sent these instructions
the Republican party, with the approval
Of the administration, has adopted the
theory that the constitution does not
follow the flag and, therefore, the 18th
amendment does not interfere with
slavery in the Zulu archipelago.
Now Mr.. Bryan knows perfectly we'll
that the amendment to ths constitution
regarding slavery covers not only terri

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.
(Boston Herald.

1t is instructive as to the condition in
which affairs have been in the stats OF
Maine as regards the liquor law to learn
shat her liquor dealers are disposing of
their stock at present. The natural in
quiry to follow this is. How did they
come to have stocks Of liquor2 There is
no new law in Maine on this subject,
The sails of liquor has been prohibited by
law there for more than half 8 century.
Here, indeed, is a practical proclamation
that this law has not been Gbeyed-that
it has been so far disregarded that the
traffic has gone on as if no law was on
the statute book prohibiting its sale.
This has been. the condition Of affairs,
not for one year alone, but for many
years. Now, at last, in a spasm Of vir-
tue, Maine aWakens TO an apparent de-
termination to have the law respected.
In the present actions she is taking she
admits damagiDgly to herself her previ-
Gus diseredit. But how long is her pres
ent respect for law to hold? Is it to be
permanent, or is the respect for law to
die out after the spasm Is OverY We wait
with some curiosity for the answer to the
question, and we have to confess with no
great confidence In the continuing OF
virtue there.

If any real progress is being made
toward a settlement of the Chinese
trouble it is not discernible by the ordi-
nary person. For some weeks past the
powers, first one and then another, have
been putting out Propositions to be dis
cussed, modified and finally supplanted
by other propositions to be treated in the
same way. If the powers are IN agree.
xnenb as to a single feature of a programme
1t is not clear what il. is. Meanwhile the
Chimes court has retired 200 miles far
Their inland, resisting all entreatiss to
return to Pekin and negotiate directly
with the powers. The only really favora-
BILE feature OF the situation is the Illness
of the Empress DowageF, which has given
the Emperor. who has always been in
3lined to be liberal and progressive, a
considerable measure OF authority. If
she should die or be permanently incapaci-
tated from interfering in the government
one of the worst obstacles to the SETTLE
ment Of the recent uprising would have
been removed. There seems to be no
question that she sided with. the Boxers
and approved and encouraged their as
sassinations Of foreign residents. If
punishment were to be inflicted strictly
according to desert she would be
selected for the first victim and for the
severest penalty. As it Is her ministers,
who probably merely did her bidding
viii be likely to receive the punishment
that ought to be inflicted upon her.

Mr.. Bryan's attempt in his latest

question was live one to be absolutely
correct We practically rendered to Eng
