OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENCE. ø LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. ERE ALI AND HIS SON—PRINCE LOUIS AID THE FBEXCH ELECTIONS—STRIKES AND EXTENSION OF ROL-RS-THE CORNISH BANK FAILURE—GAS C05FR'AXLB3 AX1> THE ELECTRIC LIGHT, i days ago I mentioned the report that, be- re liberating his son, Shere Ali had taken care 10 from him a promise to continue a resist- ance to the English, and I remarked upon its t probability. An announcement, made two ^?s later in the Times that Yalioob Khan had ually arrived at Jellalabad to make, as it was for erStoc<^» his submission, put this story aside 01' the time. The war seemed to be ver. The political situation, though very i :^P^caied, was, apparently, made clearer. Our inty Was at once to come to terms with Yakoob, "nQ to promise to support him on his throne. That "'as the logical result of the position in which the ^7%hanWar had placed us. But now we know the son of the Ameer has not made his sub- tIli88ion, and the report which I mentioned turns ^it to be quite true. The Viceroy himself ncrw tea that Yakoob has been sworn to submit not of ^^a^er' Vfnci' safe from the clutches his eEem'es> *s h&rdly likely to persuade son to a conciliatory policy. Indeed, it is now the Russians whelher from ignorance ouy, persuaded him that Europe would force ngland to attend a congress, as Europe jforced JJssia to attend a congress. The result of all a 18 establish such difficulties as might well v.. 0ar statesmen, lightly as some of the ^materialist journals talk of them. It IS of to hear some of the admirers fio Lord Lytton boasting that Shere Ali is and that by refusing to enter into a treaty » 118 Yakoob Khan will relinquish his only °f ever reigning. That is a matter not for Ya^ra''U^a^0n' but almost for lamentation. For, if th °°b ^^an driven into exile like his father, t06re be nobody left at Cabul who can hope a retain tbe alIegiauce of the tribes who deserted ihi"1"6 ^ie news of his first defeat. Every- tVe*1? happened makes it the more likely that and* ^a'' ° t° occupy Afghanistan for a time, to rule it ourselves. We cannot leave a con- people in utter anarchy. fjle mu--» be a sad day at Chiselhurst.

To-day's news proves that Bona- ^tism has no hope in France. It is Bonapartism j> hag everywhere suffered in the elections, at Louis may as settle himself comfortably "islehurst.

But only evils we have to enrr- ius way- There is danger of a strike of i 'ln^er'5' The masters want to increase the work- 8 hours, and the men say that they will not stand it. And really they arc quite right. Surely a time when engineering business cannot be got, when firms are closing temporarily for lack of orders—as they are doing in London, when no new works are being undertaken, and old ones are kspt in repair at the smallest possible outlay, is not the time for extending the hours of labour. It is, rather, the time fcr reducing them. On the railways it is a different matter. Trains must go. Longer hours mean nothing but lower wages. at in any productive business just now the pro- er course is to give as much employment to as ento i ds aS pos&ible- A reduction of hours ext • Up°n caPitaiiste> I know. But an Wort8100 k°nrs rneans starvation for every don r?,Wb° displaced by tlie extra labour that on 13 ma^e3, masters should not force to the commercial coudition of things in jjv<J8 011 to"day» it is impossible to tell all that open ^r°Un'l for fearing the worst.

All that is to be feared How is panic. If the public will only keep calm, the prospects all round will begin to brighten. If they go mad, nobody knows who will be safe. It only anxiety passing into folly that breeds danger. The gas companies are waking up. Wlien the electric light first came in they seemed to grow orse, out of mere spite. But they are promising aU lands of amendment, and one of them is already Cosr-g a new system of street lighting at a less which will give us more light, and not make ^°r companies have always TQak6 ^orce' because they could always *nore than 10 per cent, without economy. k-laS them into a real effort, doea^. ^son himself is letting out that he only Q° Pro^es3 to get a better light than gas— £ &« Reaper one, cheaper than the very dear K s of New York.
