Oul1ah Khan, vino was regarded by
his father as his successor, and had
long had large share in the govern
ment of the country, will assume the
succession peaceably. He Is in Cabul.
For some years, under his fathers
controlling hand, he has had charge Of
the army, the State Treasury and the
Supreme Court Of Appeal: He Is re-
garded as a wise and temperate ruler,
favorable to Great Britain, but less
masterful than his father, and for
this reason less likely to be strong
enough to govern the fierce, unruly
tribes or to resist the attempts Of his
brothers to seize power.
It is expected that Lord Curzon will
postpone his intended tour Of Burmah
until the Afghan question settles
down.
The editorials in the morning papers
express confidence that, with a strong
Viceroy and a strong Government at
home, any possible complications fol-
lowing the death Of the Ameer will be
met firmly and prudently.
There is, however. an underlying
current of uneasiness discernible as to
whether Russia will seize the opportu-
nifty to push her frontier forward.
The British troops in India, owing to
the South African war, now are below
their normal strength. 1t will be i'm
possible to take any more for South
Africa. and the news still further will
encourage the Beers to prolong their
resistance.
Abdur Rahman Khan, the Ameer Of
Afghanistan, was born in 1880, accord
ing to some reports. and according to
other reports he was born in 1915. He
was a nephew Of Shere Ali, the son of
Afzul Khan. and grandson of Dost
Muhamed Khan. He took part in the
revolt against his uncle, and in 1869
sought refuge in Russian territory. He
afterward became a pensioner Of the
British Government, which In 1850
made him ruler Of 'Afghanistan.:

Alcohol In Relation to Women

In the latest number of the Quarterly
Journal OF Inebriety there appeared an ar:
ticle on Alcohol in Relation to Women"
by Haywood Smith. In it he gives statis-
tics tending to show that intemperance is
far more prevalent among women than
among men. These statistics are taken
mostly from the records of private re-
treats and reformatories, and while they
would seem conclusive evidence that there
are more drrnkards among women than
among men we can hardly agree with him
in this statement. When a woman be-
comes a habitual drunkard she is usually
placed in a sanitarium at once by her fam
lily, if she has one and if not, is given over
to the protection Of the State. The habit
ual male drunkard, on the contrary, is
more his own master, objects strenuously
to confinement, and hence as rule remains
at home, protected and cared for by his
family, and in ninetenths OF all such
cases living with them unit! he dies. Thus
his case does not go on record. His crime
is not so heinous nor so offensive to the
curious mode OF modern ethics, which pre-
scribes ore set of moral laws for the wom-
an and another for the man. We think
that if all such cases were reported the
sum total of inebrate men would far sur
pass that of ine5riate women.-American

evil, whether considered from the hygicnic,
