RoBIRr E. LEES STATUE.

The Seventh Regiment of New York has
been invited to attend the unwilling Of
Robert t. Lees statue at Richmond; it is
uncertain whether it win accept or decline
the Invitation. 1t will commit mistake if
it accepts.
There can be no nobler duty for an Amer
lean citizen than to heal the wounds in
hicted by the war of the rebellion. 1t is
always the part Of Il patriot to efface, as far
rs possible, the scars of civil war. Those
who endeavor to perpetuate the bitterness
OF strife are as mean as they are unwise
But the restoration of good feeling between
the sections must not be allowed to stife
the sentim ent Of nationality which the war
brought to head, nor must it be permitted
TO create confusion in American minds on
the duty of the citizen.
Robert (. Lee was the type of the highest
order Of SOutherners. He was man of
honor, of delicacy. of lofty instincts. BY
the eminence of his character he set an ex-
ample to Others, and thus increased his
-awn possibilities. a man in lesser sta
ton might have turned his hand against
his country without doing much mischief
But when Lee joined the rebellion he made
its cause respectable in the eyes of the con-
sideIate and the conscientious. His action
was the more significant as he,
above all men, had been the petted child of
the nation. He had been educated by the
nation at its cost. Before lie was 40 he was
chief Of staff in the only American army in
the field, and one month before the firing
upon Fort Sumter he was commissioned
Colonel of the First CaYalry-the most de-
sirable post in the army. He enjoyed such
favor that he spent most Of his time AZ
Washington when other officers were wear
ing out their lives on the plains If there
was single wearer of the uniform who
owed debt of gratitude to the country it
q was Lee, and he joined the ranks Of its
enemy at the darkest hour of its history
1t is now proposed to erect a statue to
him at Richmond. 1t would have been in
better taste for the VTEinians to have per-
petnated in marble or bronze the face of
that other noble Virginian, Thomas. who
was true to his flag in the day of trial but
that Is matter which concerns the people
of the Old Dominion. They have right to
raise statues to whom they please. But
they have no right to expect New York,
which bore the brunt of the fight for the
Union and which left thousands Of its sons
On tie field of battle, to send its crack regi-
ment to join in demonstration to do honor
to the most conspicuous leader of the side
that sought the destruction of the Union

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The boy King Alexander of Servia has
recently manifested an inclination to fol-
low in the footsteps of his profit gate father,
drinking, smoking and gambling. The as
sertion that ex-KinE Milan approved such
educational methods provoked the righteous
Indignation of the boys mother, Queen Ma
talie, who successfully used her influence
with the Gar to secure a change of teachers
The British Parliament reassembles to-
day after the Easter recess. The oppos-
ton to the Irish Land Purchase Bill has
been intensified during the recess. Among
other things the Parnelites propose seeur-
ing vote on the necessity of n local gov
eminent measure accompanying the bill.
An impression prevails in Spain that the
present Spanish Cabinet will be overthrowp,
probably before July. Republfcanlsm, too,
is gaining such a foothold as to strengthen
the belief that the monarchy will be over
thrown for the second time in this gener-
alton.
The historic town of Tipperary has been
deserted, not single inhabitant remaining.
Arthur Hugh Smith Barry, who made him
self unpopular by wholesale evictions,
thereby loses $4,000 a year. The people To-
Gated the town OF New TipDerary upon an
adjoining estate, and now enjoy the com
forts Of new homes and smaller rents.
German exporters, like the French, are
alarmed over the prospects afforded by the
Mckinley Tariff Administration Bill and
are bringing their influence to bear to have
it modified or withdrawn. They maintain
that the measure, if approved in its present
form, would strike fresh blow at the ex-
portation Of German manufactured goods
to America. They also find little comfort
in the deliberations of the Pan American
Conference.
Secretary Proctor advocates the enlist
ment OF 1000 Indians in the regular army,
the regiment to be oficered by graduates of
West Point, the non-commissioned officers
being Indians, educated at Eastern military
schools

The latest rumor from Berlin is that the
young Emperor of Germany has prepared
the way for an alliance with Russia. Only
a week ago the Emperor was intent upon an
alliance with France, which, if carried into
effect. would leave Russia without friend
in Europe. The Russian alliance is at
tributed to the influence of the Emperor's
mother, who has the interests of England
more at heart than those Of Germany. In
the United States, with all its liberality in
respect to naturalization, it is provided that
an alien shall not be eligible to the Presi-
dency, But under the system of intermar-
riages which prevails in Europe the throne,
or at least portion Of it, may be occupied
by an alien. The Dowager Empress has
the reputation of being clever woman, but
she has always been an English woman at
heart. Under the old Emperor she had lit
tie influence, ana her husbands reign was
too brief to permit her to carry out her
plans. She is now believed to be the cause
of Bismarck's retirement, an event which
affords more pleasure in London than in
Berlin.

THE F1FTY-DoLLAn LIMIT.

An American Monetary Union is pro-
posed in the Pan-American Congress, which
provides for the coinage Of common silver
dollar, but limits the legal tender quality of
that dollar to sums Of fifty dollars in inter
national transactions. Within the country
producing the coin it viii be full legal ten
der All the details Of the plan have not
Vet reached US, but at the first glance one
would say that the limitation clause sub
ordinates the American Monetary Union to
the European. The American Monetary
Union proposes to reduce its own dollar to
the rank of subsidiary money. This dis
qualification will remain until silver
shall advance to within five per cent
Of the value OF gold, when it will be-
come full legal tender. Meantime it
will be received by all the nations at par
fer duties. This provision Will give the
international silver dollar the same icti-
tIous value that the American standard dol
lar now possesses in this country. The fifty
dollar legaI-tender Limitation IS doubtless
intended to prevent the United States from
paying for its South American imports in
silver. The balance of trade between the
southern countries represented in the Pan
American Congress and the United States is
largely against Us, while the balance Of trade
betN cen these same countries and Europe
Is largely against them. But the South
American countries have TO pay their Euro
pean balances in gold, or in silver at its
gold valuation. The favorable balances
against Tie United States are used by these
South American countries to settle adverse
balances in Europe But if the proposed
common silver dollar were full legal tender
the United States would pay its balance in
silver, leaving the South American coun-
tries TO convert that silver into gold for use
in paying European adverse balances. A
monetary union Of the character proposed
would be useful in connection with other
measures to increase our exports to South
America if the ffty-dollar limit were re-
moved. The South American countries, in
that case being required to accept silver in
payment for their exports to the United
States, would naturally buy the products
Of the United States, which would be paid
for in silver, rather than convert their silver
into gold Tor European use. But its useful
ness with the ffty-dolar legal-tender limit
retained must be limited to whatever effect
itmay have IN providing an increased use
for silver, and thereby increasing the de-
mand far that metal, and thus causing its
appreciation in the market.

ONLY An AMERICAN GIRL.

An American girl who experimental for
a while with an Italian Count as q hus-
band lets the public take behlnd-the-scene
view Of her welded life. Her purpose in
so doing is to warn other American girls
against doing as she did. The American
girl who tells her sad story was one of ma
lures fayOrites. She was both beautiful
and rich, combination by tie way so rare
that the person in whom these attributes
are possessed in a considerable degree is Il
kind Of social curiosity. But our American
girl was not only beautiful and rich, but
she belonged to what in this country is re-
garded as a good family. The only thing
this fortunate being lacked was title She
was plain Miss, though not plain girl.
Like other plain American Misses she
thought title would complete her happl-
ness. The title came incumbered with the
person of an Italian with a long family
pedigree. The young lady intimates that
she did not place much value upon the title
of Count which he bore, but as she must
have had some object in marrying him, and
as no other can be diSceTned by the light
she throws upon the individual, the infer
ence is that she thought more of the title
than she IS willing to admit. Her ac-
quaintauce with her titled husband
began the day after the marriage
ceremony was performed. His first de-
mand was for a small sum-possibly 10
cents to pay the barber who had shaved
him. The newly made bride and Countess
stood her titled husband off, and he laugh
ingly invited her to come into his parlor-
that is, into their state-room. She COM
piled, and the titled spider began to beat
his fly with a hairbrush. The beating with
a haiTbTush was, however, as nothing to
the beatings administered after he got her
to his estates in Italy. Each beating was
accompanied by the remark that she was
only a rich American girl, while he was
nobleman.
If American girls are spoken Of in Europe
as "only an American girl" the fault is
their own. A woman cannot be held in
high esteem who sells herself for q title.
1t is true she ought not to be considered
much worse than the nobleman who sells
himself Tor money, but it is unfortunate for
the American girl that in Europe she is sub
ject to European public opinion. The old
families in every country in Europe have
declared it respectable for their impover-
ished sons TO marry for money. But as a
rule the girls thus introduced into the old
families are made to comprehend the diff
ference between being rich and being noble.
Ii the story this American Countess tells
shall dissuade one American girl from
marrying a title when the chance offers,
the Countess win have accomplished more
than any one anticipates.

GAMING FOOLS.

This is the day on which San Francisco
and Oakland are to be destroyed by
tidal wave, according to certain persons
whom candid observer has christened
'canting fools" The prospect does not
create much alarm. The original predic-
ton was coupled with the announcement
that for several days preceding the catas-
trophe business would be stopped by seis-
mic disturbances, and that no train would
leave Oakland after the 9th. Thus predict
ing too much the prophet of evil shook
faith in all his predictions, and people gen.
orally viii eat their morning meal to-day
without much concern touching their lunch
or their dinner. A few hundred softies have
fed inland, and are raving in an idiOtic
fashion about the divine wrath and the DO
tential energy Of earthquakes, but their
numbers do not compare with the crowds
which, seventy-fve years ago, assembled
under the lead Of Joanna Southcote to see
Shiloh come.
1t is a well settled principle of law that
an American citizen may believe that the
moon is made Of green cheese, if lie be so
disposed. II the working Of the human
mind is beyond the control of its owner,
it cannot be regulated by statute. Be
lief is absolutely free. But society re-
serves the right TO interfere with beliefs
when attempts are made TO give them eff
feet in any way or shape which may dis
turb social order. A man may hold that
wealth is unequaliy distributed, but when
he tries to rob n rich mans house in order
to distribute the contents he must be
stopped, and, if he persists, he must be
locked up. 1t is perfectly optional for
Mrs. W oodworth to believe that, so far as
this city and its neighborhood are con-
cerned, the end Of the world Will come to-
day. But when she SO loudly protlaims
this belief that she unsettles weak minds,
and throws lot of people into a state of
crazy enthusiasm, it is at least question
whether she should not be sent to an insane
asylum as the best means of aiding those
she has deluded TO recover their senses.

l,nI,

Meeting of the Members of the Cortland
Avenue Club
An adjourned meeting Of the Subscribers
Club Of CORTLAND Avenue was held at 947
Putnam street yesterday afternoon. 1t was
social more than business meeting.
1t was reported that the sum of 1884 had
been subscribed and collected to carry on
the work of improving the street, and that
$223 45 had been expended, when the work
was stopped by the Superintendent of
streets. There are 1000 property-owners on
the thOroughfare and several thousand
dollars more in subscriptions are expected
OF all the property-owners but eighty have
subscribed up to this time. The initiation
fee is but 81 and it is expected that the
membership will increase very rapidly.
AT the meeting yesterday George Aull,
the President, was in the chair and r. W..
Wilson acted as Secretary. Samuel Nc
Davitt, j. j. Doran and p. We Cummings
were appointed committee with the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the club to attend
meeting of delegates from outside clubs, to
be held at the Palace Hotel Wednesday,
April sd.
An invitation from the Folsom-street
Club to attend its meeting at kelly's Hall
Wednesday evening was accepted.
j. j. Doran, L. Mathai and Daniel Nc
Dayltt were elected trustees.

IMPERIAL FEDERATION.

The intelligence comes from London that
number of Australian delegates who Wis
tied England with view to the promotion
of Sir Henry Parkes' scheme of Imperial
Federation have returned to their homes
without having been consulted by the En-
glish Ministry on the subject. The Austr a.
liam delegates are reported to have returned
in disgust, and possibly less firmly con-
WINGED than at one time that the real inter-
ests of the Australian colonies win be pro-
NOTED by becoming an insignificant men,
Der of the British Empire. A general i'm
preston has existed that the principal OPP
position to federation comes from two or
three of the colonies, but the indifference
with which the British Parliament regarded
the scheme indicates that discussion of the

proposition has not created much public
opinion in its favor. The proposition has
been discussed in England mainly in refer
ence to the tendency of federation to bring
about independence of the mother eOun-
try. Apparently the weight of English
public opinion is that federation would
hasten that inevitable result
