rossible to achieve any practical results thereby
The prevention of the importation of firearms
either of old or new pattern, is out OF the ques-
ton. according to the French point of view,
upon coast line so vast as that of Africa, while
the proposal to construct railways in the interior
of the Dark Continent at a moment when so
little is known either of the country or of its in
habitants, is to say the least premature.
The common-sense and frank attitude dis
played by France in the matter cannot fail to
confirm the doubts which have all along been
entertained concerning the sincerity of the Brit
ish and German Governments in organizing the
Brussels conference. Both Lord Salisbury and
Prince Bismarck are men shrewd enough to
have foreseen from the first that the Congress
could only result in empty talk. Indeed, every
thing tends to confirm the belief that they are
sceptical and Indifferent about the slave trade
question: and that they have only promoted the
Brussels Convention with the object of satisfy
ing the religious views of the non-conformist
middle classes of Great Britain and of the evan
gelical population of Germany-two elements
which constitute the backbone of their re-
spectiye Empires.
New-York tribune., 1889-12-24
NEW METHODS IN CHOOSING COMMITTEES

Among the committees of the House of Repre-
sentatives are several to whose charge are com
mtted interests which, although in the largest
sense National, are also of special concern to
particular sections. The Committees on Rivers
and Harbors, on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries, on Agriculture, on Public Lands, on In
dian Affairs, on Territories, and on Mines and
Mining may be cited as instances. The entire
Nation is, of course, profoundly interested in
seeing the affairs which these committees have
in charge wisely promoted, but a still keener
and more direct interest is naturally felt in
their fate by the large classes of citizens to
whom they are of importance as matters of bust
ness. 1t is a good rule in legislation that meas
ures which render easy the path to legitimate
and profitable business enterprise in any di-
recton are of value to trade throughout the
country, and the obvious course for Speaker
TO pursue when he is organizing the House for
its work is to commit all such affairs to those
whose knowledge of them is thorough and who
can be relied upon to consider them in their
National as well as their local aspects.
Speaker Reed has performed this delicate
task with remarkable skill and good sense.
In every case he has so composed such COM
mittees as TO give the country the largest as
surance that the legislation commended by
them will be just so far favorable TO the sec
tions and classes vitally concerned in it as will
be consistent with the best interests of the
whole Nation Notwithstanding that TO do this
is the plain, obvious duty OF Speaker, it is
by no means the policy which always guided
Mr.. Carlisle. In his arrangement Mr.. Dunn was
the sailor bold and free, from the coast bound
ed State OF Arkansas, who guided the delibera-
tons of the Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries, and among his Democratic asso-
ciates there were only three who could he said
to come from States at all interested in this
vastly important subject Members from Ten
nessec, Kentucky, Missouri and other interior
States controlled its consideration Mr.. Dunn
has given way to Mr.. Farquhar, of New-York
and with him are associated Mr. Dinpley ~
Maine, and members from two coast and two
lake States.

The United States produces to-day more than
one-third of the worlds product of gold and

4 SOUTHFRN PATRIOT.

The death of Henry w. Grady is loss to the
whole country, but there is some compensation
in the general recognition of this fact during
his brief career as a public man he has SAID
many things that it was profitable Tor Dotn
North and South to hear, and he has said them
in such way as to enhance their significance
As the editor of one of the few widely infiu-
entia papers in the South he possessed the
opportunity-which he had also in great meas
ure created-of impressing his opinions upon
Southern society but it was to few occasional
addresses in Northern cities that he chiefly
owed his National reputation. His rhetorical
gifts were not of the highest order, but he had
command of a style of speaking which was
most effective for his purposes. 1t was marked
by the Celtic characteristic of exuberance but
it was so agreeable and so inspriting that he
was able to command at will great audience
at home and abroad. When man so endowed
has also a significant message to deliver, and
is. moreover, animated by sincere desire to
serve his generation to the full measure OF his
ability. the loss which his death intiicts is not
easily repaired. The whole country will unite
in deploring the sudden extinction of fruitful
life.
Mr.. Giady's zeal, activity and patriotism
were fully recognized in the North, as we have
said, but yet it was pre-eminently to his own
people that he was an example and inspiration
His loyalty to the cause in which his father fell
was untinged with bitterness, and he never
permitted himself to imagine that vain regrets
were more sacred than present obligations
More widely than almost any other man VINO
nossessed the confidence Of the Southern people
was he separated in feeling and purpose from
those false standards and ideals of which the
late leader of the Confederacy was the melan-
choly embodiment. He was an admirable IL
lustration of that sagacious and progressive
spirit which is gradually but surely renewing
the South, and which, though it still lacks
something of being altogether equal to its OPP
portunities, does, nevertheless, recognize the
fact that "new occasions teach new duties !:
time makes ancient good mcouth."
Happily for all sections of the country, Mr..
Grady has left behind him others who will con-
tinue the work in which he has been bOnorably
conspicuous, but it may be long before so many
useful and engaging talents and qualities. com
bined in a single individual, will be employed
in that important service. 1t has sometimes
seemed as if the speaker at Northern banquets
had clearer vision and more impartial ut
terance than the editor of "The Atlanta Con-
stitution," and this has occasionally given rise
to suggestions of Inconsistency. But we have
never doubted Mr. Grady's integrity of pur-
pose, nor underestimated the value of his en-
deavors to promote the welfare of an undi-
vided country.

THE DRAMA
aTuE RELLs OF HAsLEMERE.s

Henry Petit and Sidney Grundy's play The Bells
of Haslemerc" began an engagement of week at the
Windsor Theatre last night. II is piece that has
had long run in London and has been PLAYED In
Boston and other ewEngland cities, and IL IS now
offered to the New York public by Edwin H. Prices
company. The piece is meodramatic in character
and tells the story of plots against the fortune and
happiness of young English squire, Of his wandernss
as far as Mississippi plantation, and OF his resora
ton TO his home aud his sweetheart. Much OF the
acting Of the piece was fairly good John E. kelaFa
was earnest in his efforts to give due interest to inc
part of the squire, and Miss Maud f. Hail. as EveDn
Brookeld gave him good help in attaining his oolee@
II is due TO Charles Brandt who played the Two
parts OF an English miller and an American steam
boat captain TO say that he was scarcely able on sc
count OF Sickness to appear the stage at all bus
he went through his parts 0ravey rather than nave
another take them on the first night. -
There was some little trouble, which Is not hsey
IN occur again. In moving the scenes but aside irou
this they were well arranged and effective.
