The greatest master of inyective, perhaps
the greatest Engllsh-speakng orator, Oh recent
times is dead. The Nation in which for half his
lifetime Wendell Phillips was social outcast
and political Ishmaeite will generally ana
sincerely deploro his loss. He lived long
epougb to live down the old hatred to
conquer not only the admiration OF his
old foes-that he always had, but to conquer
also their respect and often their affection.
And yet he lived too long for his own fame. Ii
Mr.. Phillips had passed away, like LIN
coin, at the very close of the con-
test which crowned the triumph OF his
life, he would have stood far higher IN the es-
TEEN of pOsterity than is now possible. UP
20 that time his career had been
one brilliant, magnificent struggle for
human freedom That won, he could not
keep quiet and yet couldnOt find themes worthy
his matchless eloquence and courage. All his
life an agitator, silence was impossible to him,
vet lie could not continue his agitation
without what he was accustomed to call
a Cause" And so he foundered about for a
Cause. Once he thought he had it in green
backs; again in trades-unionismj once
in woman's rights, and then in lighting
the Chinese. His last years brought him
many strange comrades and no added honor.
But his great anti-slavery work makes
his place in history sure and high;
his courage and integrity will always be the
pride of his countrymen; he leaves a spotless
name. and does not leave his equal in oratory
in England or America.

VOLTNTEERS IN THE NAVY


The duty of rescuing Lieutenant Greely is
not one whit palmer than the necessity for
prompt action. Time is precious and the prep
arations for the expedition ought not to be-
deferred single day. On this account t. e
divergence of views at Washington respecting
the employment of volunteers is greatly to be
regretted. The Senate persists in adheling to
its original position, and is even attempting to
limit the amount to be appropriated for the
expedition. The House prefers to leave the
Secretary of the Navy at liberty to employ
volunteers or to detail officers for this duty at
his own discretion. The point at issue, how
ever, is of trivial importance and ought to be
settled in one way OF the other without further
delay.
The Senate is unwilling to send naval officers
on an Arctic cruise unless they volunteer. The
expedition can easily be organized # this view
shall prevail for there are many officers III ihe
service who will welcome an opportunity for
distinguishing themselves. If the commander
be chosen among the volunteers, there will b.
no lack of discipline and every officers hea
will be in his work. On the other hand, if the
Secretary of the Navy be left free to detail the
officer who is pre-eminently lifted by experience

DIR. RYL1NCE AND HEBER NEWTON

DIR. RYL1NCE AND HEBER NEWTON
Dr. Rylance In his interesting letter to THE
TRIBUNE on the case of the Rev. Heber New
ton, presents an undoubtedly forcible argument
for the rghtof free scrptural investigations But
the question, as now presented, If we understand
it, is not whether abstractly considered, it
would not be wise TO permit such investigation
as Dr. Heber Newton has been making; it is
whether under the existing constitution and
laws of the religious corporation OF which he is
an officer, he is warranted in teaching certain
matters.
The American people to use a h0mcly ilustra-
ton, have upon occasion concluded that certain
principles ought to be nationally adopted and
indorsed. But inaSmuch as these principles
were not represented in the organic law it
became necessary to introduce them there, and
after full discussion pro and con they were
formulated as amendments to the Constitution,
and were ratified bya majority OF the States.
Now it is clear that until these new principles
were made part of the constitution they were
imperative, no matter to what extent they
were believed in. And it was not lawful to
apply them in practice prior to their ratifica-
ton. Just so Is it with the case Of the Rev.
HebeT Newton. He is charged with trying to
put in practice principles which are as yet be-
lieyed to be unconstitutional The question
whetherhe has done this must not De cOuf0undcd
with the entirely distinct question whether the
principles he has applied are good principles.
Of course it may be that Dr. Newton is right
and his accusers are wrong. That can only be
determined by proper trial of his case. II tho
constitution of his Church really is SO elastic az
this position implies the criticisms on his course
by other ministers will appear to have been
nwarranicd. But il seems necessary at this
iuncture 90 clear the ground of error in regard
TO the actual nature of tho situation, and
especially to show that the question whether
Dr.. Newton is or is not justified in his course is

The session of the British Parliament which

Egypt may take, that speculation in regard to

Mr. Arnold Hague, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, has been urging upon the Gov
ernment the advisability of extending the limits
Of the Yellowstone Park in order to preserve
the water supply there and to prevent freshets
within the reservation. Mr. Hague has spent
much time in the Yellowstone country, and his
views will doubtless receive due c0lsidera-
ton. The beneficial results Of extend
ing the limits of the Park as he suggests,
and of carefully guarding the forests from de-
strictiou, should not be confined 10 the valley
OF the Yellowstone. In that immediate region
are the sources of many other and more i'm
portant streams which in this way would be
kept from drying up.

Disaster seems to be impending in Egypt.
1t is apparently impossible to get reinforce
ments to some of the garrisons in the SOndan,
and if they are not relieved within day or
two their surrender is inevitable. But the
most alarming feature of the situation is the
possibility of treachery among the immediate
followers of General Gordon, as well as at
Cairo. Report has it that the Khedive would
not be unwilling to seehim assassinated on the
road to KhartOum. General Gordon has gone
safely through so many dangers that he seems
20 possess a charmed life. If it were not for
this pleasing superstition, the outlook would be
appalling.

THE ALLEGED TRAIN-WREcKER.-I now
transpires that Robert Ewers, the half-wlt-
ted individual whom Ballenger and another
alleged detective have had incarcerated in
the county Jail of Amherst OH the charge OF
having wrecked q train on the Virginia
Midland Railway, was not dismissed by
magistrate, but was held to answer to the
charge, and had preliminary hearing yes
terday The grand jury of the Corporation
Court of Lynchburg examined number OF
witnesses Thursday in regard to the beha-
vior of Messrs. Ballenger and Burnett, who
made the arrest, and found them guilty OF
the charges made against them. The
Lynchhurg Nems in speaking of the matter
says: THE treatment Ewers received at
the hands of Ballenger and his associate
was cruel aud villainous, and they are al
legged to have piled their victim with whls-
KEY and subjected him to painful physical
matreatment In order TO force confession.
If the facts as alleged turn out to be true,
the severest penalty of the law ought to be
enforced. The reward of $500 offered by
the Virginia Midland authorities for the APP
prehension and conviction Of the person or
persons who attempted TO wreck trains on
that road seems to have inspired these So
called detectives with determination to
convict somebody whether guilty or not
guilty. Sergeant Matt. Day left for Am
herst Court House on the $50 train yester-
day morning armed with warrant for the
arrest of the two detectives"
Mr.. Ballenger in conversation with the
reporter of the GAZETTE. this morning, SAID
that the reports in the Lynchburg papers
did him great injustice; that in making the
arrest Of Ewers he acted as constable with
a proper warrant, and that every act of his
was done under the authority of law.
