DEATH OF GEN’L. GRANT.
It han been known for several
weeks past that the condition vs
General Grant was considered v ry
critical by the best medical and sur
gical authorities, but it was not
thought that he was so hear the
end at his eventful lite as he was in
fact. The people were not prepart d
yesterday tor the story of his death,
when the wires flatbed it over the
world, and the effect produced was
of astonishment and sadness. In tins
Southland the people never hud
cause for love to General Grant,
for they only knew of him as u con
quorer of their armies, composed of
their fathers, brothers, huebands
and sons in war, and io civil life as
a ruler whose policy was antagonis
tic to their political sentiments, yet
they nave accorded to him high
qualities as a soldier, and have ex
tended to him their sympathy In his
personal afflictions. Contempora
neous critics will disagree about the
various points of greatr.es* of Gen
eral Grant, but In the future assign
him the place next highest to Wash
ington,
Thb Scientific American tells of an
expert who personally tempers all
the scythe blades (14,000 doaen) that
are turned out of hie factory in a

be over one a minute tor 310 days, at
nine hours a day.

The war talk and the hos'lle atti
tude of the czar of Russia is upsetting
the financial equanimity of some of
his subjects most sadly. Within a
month five large sugar and tea im
porting houses in Moscow have
failed for over ten millions of dol
lars. Panics fill the air. How much
better for the government to live
at peace with its associate powers
and let their subjects enjoy life and
prosperity.

The people of the United States
are receiving large orders from Rus
sia and England for provisions and
cartridges. Queer, isn’t it, that great
nations in this enlightened age
should so shape their orders? The
two commodities most wanted are
the meats to sustain life and cart
ridges to destroy it. Would it not be
bo well to mix in a little of out sur
plus whisky with the order? Large
orders for whisky might enable them
to reduce the demand for cartridges.

Representative Vance, of North O ir
olina, a pan over their lines. Mr.
Vance returned the pass with thanks
adding: ‘I have one of the best, pair
oFlega in the c >untry, end will be
willing tn walk if you will give this
pass tosome poor washerwoman who
has to pay 5 cents every time she
rides on your cars.’ ”
England has taken the proper
course in her dealings with Russia.

'SITUATION IN AFGHANISTAN.
. •
WHAT A BBITISH ARMY OFFICER SAYS I N ,
THE SUBJECT.
Lb ut. 001. G. T. Pretyman, of the I
British royal artillery, who ’ook
part in several engag'-tnints during I
the Afghanistan campaign of 1878 8u,I
wnr with General Roberts to Oibul
utter 'he murder of Hlr Louts Oavig-
I nari and was militarv secretary to j
th<* g neral from 1881 until Novem
ber, 1884, is visiting friends here,
bring absent fr< m tbe army on sick
leave. In an interview in the Even
ing Journal hegivei an ln’«reating
view of the present situation in
Afghanistan and the chances of an
outbreak of hostilities between Eng
land and Russia. “Our Government,
he says, “has been warned frequent
iv by «liter's of the condition of
things io Afghanistan for years. Our
policy has rather been to induce Rus
sia on toward the disputed territory.
We’have pursued a weak and vaecilat
ing course. We eb< uld have said to
her: 'Ho far and no further,’ and
established a firm but courteous
policy. Russia has been creeping on
and on, year by year toward its ob
jective point. Herat. We must not
let Russia put tn r foot fn’o Afghanis
tan. It, is of the most vital import
ance to us to keep her out. Should
she got poss «don of Herat she has
the key of Afghanistan. The road
from Herat to Oabul, the capital, is
the be-t passage for wheeled artillery
in Afghanistan. If she gets Herat
she will ultimately attempt to press
on to the capital, and while they are
thus occupying the attention of our
forces a desperate attempt will be
made by Russia to take Oonatanti
tiople, which. In my opinion, is their
real objective point,
"If Russia could tiolrl Afghanistan
as a depot.she would incite I be greedy
Afghan tribes to invade India and
plunder. The power that, holds Herat
Ims great political in fluence over both
Afghanistan and India. You are
are aware that, the present dispute is
relative to the boundary between
Atghanistan an<l Russia. Now. our
government sent Sir Peter Lumsden,
I who knows all about the territory of
the disputed boundary,to draw a line
with the, Russians, who purposely
neglected to send their envoy to meet
him. In the meanwhile Russia has
i been pushing on troops on the roads
i converging at Herat, From their
depots at, Mery and Birakns, which
p aces they t ok possession of in
' 1880, they have sent out posts to
> Penjdeh, on the Murgbad river, and
io the Z t'llkar pass.on the road from
. Htruklie to Herat, which runs along
1 the H> rle-Rud valley, Our troops
i are at Quetta,which Is luily suo miles
from 11 rat. Herat is only 202 miles
j from the Buwian depot, ar Hirakhs.
I’ve no doubt that. Sir Peter can
matte Herat impregnable until tiseis
tanwi arrives from Quetta, even if the
worst comes to the worst. It. would
r be a severe blow to our prestige in
i India should Russia gi t possession of
Hera'.
“On the other hand,” he continu
ed, "if Russia Is beaten I think the
I Turk niiins. whom she conquered by
, mn- aacreelng their women and child
ren in 1881 bv the thousands, will
turn on Russia for revenge. Russia
, Is merely holding the Turk m ins
down by force of arms. We have ai
towed Russia to gain control of
Petsia, and they will undoubtedly
assist her wi'h supplies ai d trans
? Donation. We should have kept the
f I’ tainos Hirn alli< ato help us in an
, emergency. In 1880'we had a large
force in Oandaliar, which is 369 miles
from Herat. The railroad was being
> constructed from H bl in the direc*
. lion of Uandab ar. We ought to have
remained and made ourselves strong
' there,completing 'he railroad to that
‘ point. But the liberal home govern
i merit decided to withdraw the troops
i to Qm ta, and even went so far as
to tear up the railroad which had
been built. The Indian Government
commenced to relay this road it)
i double quick time at) tut eighteen
. months ago When the rail road was
i taken up a great many virtually
gave up Herat to Russia. Our policy
aimost Invited 1> -r to come on. Ido
> not think Russia is quite ready to
, take decided action, but when sh<
meets England, and the inevitable
crisis does come, it will both" treat
est war that England has known
< since the days of W tirioo, One or
the other must go; England or Russia
must fall. If Russia should get
• possession of Afghanistan she will
i promise tbe Afghans tbe loot of In
, din. and they will light for her.
Nevertheless I think it will be manv
years before Russia will b) able to
invade India.”
