the Invitation of ihe Republican (?ommlttee for

so mat tii?? campaign may be begun with a
simultaneous volley upon the enemy Instead e.f

conten? imi thai ? conference concerning tin?

all parties would partake of tbe naturi? of a
deal which might compromise tbe Mayoral
cand?ante, or involve? tbe Independents la an
agreeineni to support some cgndldatea aa th??
pries) of machine rapport for others, that scruple
does not properly militate against simultaneous

of Afghanistan. Prom time Immemorial, la

between India anil Afghanistan, ami it is to?
day tin? centre of the insurgent -?ri>rm which
darkens the whole northwest frontier.
On the tine map prepared fur The Tribune
nini printed elsewhere in this morning'a paper
ihe salient features uf that rugged borderland
are accurately and clearly shown. Three plac/es
at??? ?.? be especially noted: Peahawur, Jellala?
bad and Cabul. They are lh.? beginning, the
middle nnd the end of the Khyber road. The
Brat, Peahawur, is a sort of rititna Thule of
British nil.? in India. It lies in the very shadow
uf ihe Hindoo Kooab, th?? frontier having been
pushed forward In a sharp bond to Include It.
The town lies on a plain, across which a line
road leads to the givrit rock gate which give??
entrance t? the Khyber defile, a Rate fastened
with the lo.k and key of tin? fori of All Musjld.
now beleaguered if noi captuted by the Afrldls.
The plain is British. The mountains are Af?
ghan. Bui ili?? pass Itself ?s th?? land of tribes?
men who pay allegiance to no one but tbetn?
Belve*, it ts tbe buffer margin of a buffer state.
The pass |g twenty miles long, and the bills
ai??? a full mile high. There is a tine road run?
ning throngb it. bull! by British engineers, No?
where alun?; !t is th?? (?rade more than um? in
fifty, nnd you may drive a Inns,, and buggy of
a roach and four straight through with ease
fiuui Peshawur if you do not mind now and
then having "a wheel ou ih?? liorna o' the Moni
in' an' a wheel ou tbe edge o' tin? Pit." Bul
thai does ii,,: moan it is an easy road fur an
army to navel in time of war. On ihe con
nary, ?t is most difficult. I; is so narrow, and
ihe hills around ?; are s,? Impassable elsewhere,
that a small furi??, could hold it against a invai
one. sir Samuel Brown could never have i.'..t
through in 1878 if tin? Afghans liad known Ihelr
business. North uf ihe pass lies the so-called
Tartara Pans, a mere goat-track, nut io be irav?
orsi-li by an army, ami south uf it i?? ih?? Bazaar
Valley, also Impassable agalnsl any opposition.
Beyond the Khyber Pasa lies tin? great valley
m? basin of Jellalabad, which is tin? furthest
stable outpost uf tin? Ameer toward India, it
is fi\y< about un all sides by steep mountain
walls. Tin? only gap in Ihem Indiaward is th,?
Khyber. Toward Afghanistan ther?? ar?? three
>.r four, one of them beine the Khoord-Cabnl,
where Ripianatone was overwhelmed. Prom
Peahawur tu Jellalabad Is elgbty miles. Krom
Jellalabad through another mountain gateway
westward ninety miles brings one to Cabul, the
Afghan capital. Su the lim? ut' ih?? three pointa
is completed. Peahawur, the seat uf British im?
perial authority; Cabul, the centre uf the Ameer's
autocratic rule, and Jellalabad midway bet ween
ihi'in. in ihe heart of the land of those wild
mountain tribesmen who obey neither Empress
nor Ameer. On either flank uf tin? Khyber fot
many a mile the same conditions exist. Wazlrl
at the south and Swaii and Chitrail at tin? north
an? in a ferment uf fanaticism, raising the futile
standard uf revolt Whether tin? Ameer speaks
truth in declaring his innocence, ur not, is yel
to be ascertained. If he does, tbe Bcrewguns
and the Sikhs and Gboorkas should make short
work of tin? obstreperous Patbans. Kven ibe
L'ti.iMM? Afrldls can mak?? only a brief stand be?

'?? ? importanl announcement is mad?? thai a

Imhmi cast up from the depths uf Vineyard Bound
ii|iuii ihe coast of Maaaachusetta, The ib'-i sup?
position would naturally be thai II aras Hie sea

musi be erroneoua Nothing is better known
than thai ibe sea serpent, wherever observed
ami under whatever conditions, Invariably ex?
post ? lo ibe startled gate of the beholder a pair
uf eyes like saucers in s??/.,? and conformation.
This Is an infallible lesi of a sea serpent's au?
thenticity, ami Inasmuch as no mention is made
of ?:ni,crs lu connection with the ?tes of the
monster thai has,lust gone ashore near Hyannls
we may safely conclude that il la noi the sea
serpent, ii has incn Ingenloualy suggested that
Ihe creature Is a pleslosaurua, whose life had
been bounteously lengthened out thai he might
survey this interesting epoch in the history uf
civilization; bui this supposition Is scarcely ten?
aille in riew of the circumstance timi it a pteslo
s.iuni? at all i: must, owing tu ?is size, be a
b?ii.v plesiosanrns, which put*? an Intolerable
?train mi credulity.
After a studious consideration of the case as
reported by a veracious and conservative press.
we have arrived at tin? conclusion that the
strange and unfortunate castaway is ihe fiee
colnage of silver Issue. This hypothesis is
strengthened al the outael by tbe fa.-t that it
is dead. Tu be sure, it Is relatively small; but
iiiis rather tend to confirm than upset the the?
ory, fur the free-coinage issue has been shrink

Versi ties, and feeling iis.-if about to become ex?
tinct, ?t should summon its falling energies for
a final effort and resolve to die as near as pos
Bibb* to Buxxard's Bay, with which place the
most endearing recollections uf its growth to
majestic proportions were associa ? ed'.?
The description, it should be noted, bears oui

SEAMANSHIP SEEDED 0\ WARSBIPS.
More or loss discussion lias been indulged in
for many years as to whether It would not lie
most reasonable? to follow, in large part if not
closely, the custom that obtains in the Hriiish
Navy In the matter of sea service for orhVers of
the American Xuvy on inn active list. The Bril?
lata Navy officers are kept in active service on
seagoing vessels almost continuously until tbey
are placed upon tbe retired lis'. The custom
that prevails in the American Navy is to give
an officer three years of service at sea and three
yean <>f above duty, and In many cases orti.its
are kepi on snore duty much longer than three
years Tin? query baa not unreasonably been
raised, whether the accidenta that sometimes
happen to warships in striking shoals or rocks
or in soin?? other way would not In? less prob
able ? tbe officers responsible for thein had had
more practical training i. ??.. more simly and
experience in actual sea service. Charles I!.
?'ramp, tin? bead of tbe linn of shipbuilders that
bears his name, in a paper read by him recently
before Ihe Naval War College, described in mi
admirable manner tin? naval knowledge thai w
needed by those who are to have tin? charge <>f
modern battle-ships and cruisers and torpedo
boats of varying speeds ?md seaworthiness, ll??
showed In a conclusivi- manner that il lakes
further study and experience beyond that ob?
tained at tin? Naval Academy ami at the Bla?
tions where the vessels an? built and equipped
to command adequately a modern warship, as
well a? to light sneta a ship lo il?? best advan?

Mr. ? lamp chose for a part of his i.-xt ihe
disaster which recently overlook the Knglish bat?
