MORAL COURAGE.

At banquet given to Chas. A Towne
Wednesday evening at Duluth, Mimi,
w. j. Bryan spoke upon the interesting
theme. Moral Courage 1t was the evil
dent purpose of the democratic leader
to distribute enconium enough to meet
the necessities of Mr.. Towne and him.
self and inform those who attended the
hanouet that moral courage came high
but that the guest of honor and himself
were both we'll supplied. With fine de-
fiance the Nebraska editor denied the
imputation that Mr.. Towne had been
failure in politics. He asserted that the
fine close tibered moral courage OF the
Duluth lawyer had enabled him to shed
adversity much after the manner in
which water is detected from duck
back.
There are few who will take issue
with Mr.. Bryant on the proposition that
moral courage is fit equipment in poll
ties as in all other affairs OF 'ife. HIS
speech last evening showed that he has
given this important subject some
thought and he appeared we'll qualified
to speak upon the theme he selected for
his address. Yet there are those VINO
would recommend to both the principal
orator of the Towne banquet and the
gentleman in whose honor the affair was
held a few reflections upon important
auxiliaries to their equipment Of moral
courage. Common sense, an apprecla-
ton of personal favors. right estimates
of public sentiment and a disposition to
accord proper motives to those OF OPP
posing opinions-all these are as essen
tial in public life and in private and
business relations.
Now that Mr.. Bryan has taken up the
study Of the characteristics which con-
stitute the elements of success or failure
it is possible that he may be able to
supplement his moral courage with
few of the necessary qualities to WIN
success. There is hope for Mr.. Towne
also If he takes to heart the little talk
made by the editor Of the Commoner
and follows the suggestions given to
sensible conclusion.
With such a Wholesale stock IF moral
courage to fall back upon 1t Is posslole
that Mr.. Towne may, in time, publicly
acknowledge that he had been an
egregious blunder in politics. offensive
in his expressions regarding political
rivals, injurious to every cause in which
he has been engaged. Mr.. Bryans
tremendous moral machinery may en-
able him, also, to take saner view
NJ things which he now sees with i'm
paired vision and revise his opinion OF
the Minnesota mans political services
and success.

| 1t Is owing to this incident that Amer
| Shere Ali was recognized as ameer by
! the British.
| Eut Afzul Khan, the father of the la te
| Abdur Rahman, regarded himself as tli.
| riShtful ruler of the Afghans, and both
| he and his brother Aim We're for time
| the Ameers of Cabul, although they were
never recognized by the British govern
ment.
The recent Afghan war is a matter Of
history. Shere Ali died soon after the
war commenced. and he was succeeded
| by Iakoob Khan, who was dethroned
/ after the massacre of Sir Louis Cav
| aghari and his staff on September ;. 1879.
| The eX-ameer, Yakoob Khan, is still liv-
ing in British territory, and in the event
of complications in Cabul, he may be
placed on the throne through British
influence. although it is said that the
new ameer. Habeeb Ullah, whose name
signifies THE beloved Of God" Is an ex-
ceedingly capable young man. He is
very different in temperament from his
Younger brother. Nasurlla, who visited
London few years ago. Still Habeeb
Ullah and his brother are the sons of
the late ameer by slave girl. and this
very greatly initiates against their pop
ularity.
In the event Of an uprising in Cabu1,
the brother of ex-Ameer Yakoob Khan,
who is now state prisoner In Persia,
may appear on the scene. This is Sir
dar -Ayoob Khan. 1t was this Sirdar
Ayoob Khan who exhibited such re-
, markable generalship at Maiwand, in
August, $780, when he defeated the
British with terrific slaughter. He
made great impression on the British
officers and as the Ameer (recently
deceased), was not remarkable for his
friendly attitude toward the British
government, it is not improbable that
Sirdar Ayoob Khan may be placed on
the throne.
In the battle of Maiwand Ayoob in
ilicted terrible loss on the British. In
a small British army of a few thous-
| ands 1000 men were killed. In her Maj
! esty's Sixty-siXth regiment, out OF 4O6
| men and 10 officers who went into ac-
ton, 10 officers and 275 men were killed,
and officers and 50 men wounded, thus
showing that an Afghan general could
| inhict a terrible loss on an English
army, even as the Beers have done in
! the present war.
Ameer Eabeeb Ullah Khan is the sew
enth of the Ameers of Cabul, whose
names may be given as follows: Dost
, MONameL hndn SHeFe All hudu, <aIZuA
| Khan, Aim Khan, Alb Yakoob Khan.
/ Abdur Rahman Khan and Habeeb Ullah
Khan.
Afzul and Aim conquered Cabul dur
| ing the reign Of Shere Ali.
| These facts may be of interest at a
time when the Ameer Of Afghanistan is
likely to take a prominent place in the
I! history Of the world especially as there
seems to be an uprising Of Islam In
every part Of the world; in Turkey.
Egypt, Armenia, Algiers, Morocco Per-
STA, Arabia and Bushir. kilograms an
| nouncing those movements reach us
every week. and the peculiar attitude of
Russia and France would indicate that
! the Eastern question will soon occupy a
| prominent place in the political world.

The TREASURY SURPLUS.

Among the problems presented for the
consideration Of the next session of con-
gress will be that of providing the sur
plus of the national treasury with an
outlet. Just at the present time, or very
recently at least, the treasury had a
cash balance Of $175, 00O, 900 or about
500 100000 in excess of the sum required
to meet the current expenses of the gov
eminent and insure the safety of banks
This surplus is steadily increasi
despite the reduction of internal revenue
imposed as measure of war; What to
do with this immense accumula ton is a
question with which the coming session
OF congress must deal.
One of the projects which will engage
the attention of congress is the con-
struction of an Isthmian canal. The
original plan of this vast undertaking
included bond issue, but it is altogether
likely that share of the treasury sur
plus viii be devoted to carrying out this
undertaking. or course, it will be an
easy matter to distribute the surplus,
when once the lawmakers agree that it
Shall Ie cApeiueu 1ueie are 1eueral

SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SOLD.

The news Of the sale of the Salt Lake
c. Goodwin from editorial work will
come almost as painful shock to those
who have admired the one for it's fear
less policy and the other for his great
brain and greater heart. 1t may be
said of Judge Goodwin that he has ac-
complished more towards combating
superstition and crime in Utah, more
against polygamous nastiness and in
defense Of the American home than all
the churches of the evangelists. The
Tribune has been the torch of civiliza-
ton in Utah, and Judge Goodwin kept
the light burning ever brightly. He has
been Utahs best friend and greatest
benefactor. Yet in the distribution of
rewards he has been neglected, so that
been enjoying the fruits Of a lifetime CT
good deeds, he has had to struggle in
the sanctum and do the drudgery of
newspaper work. Yet in 25 years of edi-
torial labor he has won imperishable
fame throughout the west. Had The gone
to New York when he settled in Salt
Lake, no living editor would now dis
pute with him the premier honors of
American journalism. In the future his
name would have been linked with that

SAMPSON NOT IN THE CASE.

Says the Anaconda Standard this
morning:
There is every indication that Admiral
Sdhley's victory over Sampson will be
as brilliant and decisive as his defeat
Of Cervera.
Surely the Standard is not under the
impression, or would not convey the i'm
preston that the naval court at Wash
ington may render a decision which will
amount to victory of one admiral over
the other! Sampson does not figure in
the controversy, either as a plaintiff or
defendant, and its result can not affect
him in any way. The inquiry was re-
Quested by Schley to clear up his record.
and was granted by the government THAI
it might be cleared up and as an act of
simple justice to one of the heroes OF
the battle of July Third. His exoneration
will not reflect on Sampson or on the
government in the slightest degree. nor
is either engaged in the case as a prose-
cutor in the common acceptaton of the
term. In all likelihood the court vii!
vindicate Schley, and both Admira,
Sampson and the government will re-
joice over the vndication. No citizen Of
this country who has faith in the Amer
lean navy has ever believed that the
captain of an American battleship ever
lacked in courage Or skill. Every good
citizen is hoping that the fame of Schley.
like that of Sampson, Philip, Clarke,
Wainwright and Evans, will SO into his
tory without the suspicion of a stain
upon it.

The news that a surveying party has
begun operations north of Billings, to
prepare the way for an extension OF the
Burlington to Great Falls must be
agreeable intelligence to residents of the
eastern section Of Montana. OF course,
it is only matter of time until the pro-
posed Burlington extension will be
made. The prospects for good freight
business from the territory through
which the extension is planned, are too
alluring to be long resisted by the
management Of that enterprising road.
To residents of Northern Montana par
ticularly, the Burlington extension will
be boon. Billings, too. will profit by
the construction of the new road. The
extensive stretch Of country lying north
of the capital Of Yellowstone county will
develop rapidly, once the railroad Is
taken into that fertile section. Upon the
score of convenience in travel and
shipping the road is invaluable to Eastern
Montana, and as factor in the develop
ment of that section Of the state its
benefits will be beyond calculation.
