General Slocum A gain.

EDITORS HERALD: You say very
truly that "neither OF the great political
organizations of the country are hunt
ing for a soldier" and that "the de-
mand is for statesman" Now, Henry
W. Slocum wasa statesman long before
many of those who are distracting the
councils of the New York Democracy
were heard of. I first met him in the
Buchanan campaign as talented law
yer of Syracuse, N. Y, and then as a
member of the New York legislature.
1t was surprise to me to find him the
colonel of a regiment in the army of the
Potomac-now about thirty years ago.
But Slocum was citizen in times of
peace and a soldier in times of war,
having been thoroughly educated for
both conditions. Ills early education
was for civil life, but he entered the
military academy at the age of 25, and
on graduating was appointed lieuten-
ant, and found service in the Seminole
war, reading law at intervals with an
eminent legal firm in the city of New
Orleans. At the close of that war be
resigned his commission, and returned
to Onondaga county. where he was
admitted to the bar and practiced his
profession until elected to the legis-
lature.
When the late war broke out in 1862
and "the Union Regiment" was raised
in@ five or elk counties of Cen
trail New York, Slocum was offered the
command and accepted it. If this is to
be brought now as an objection to him,
he is VIGOROUSLY guilty OF the offense.
His services throughout that war,
little over four years, from first to last,
were too conspicuous to be now denied.
They have gone down to history, and al
though they were brought to close
more than quarter of century ago,
when he again resigned his commission
and again returned to civil life) they re-
main upon the annals of his country
and will so remain after he himself and
All his comrades shall have passed away,

ELSEWHERE we make place for an.
other communication from General
Hagadorn, putting forth the claims of
General Slocum for the Democratic
nomination for president. We are we'll
aware of General Slocum's fitness; we
know that he was not only gallant
soldier when his country needed his
services in the field, but that he has
shown himself to be statesman and a
capable party leader in time of peace.
We have nothing whatever but good to
say of General Slocum, but we do not
believe that he, nor any other Dem
ocrat but Senator Hill, stands in the pc.
Bition to be struck by presidential light
ming this year. There is where the
fight is; it is to be laid out on that line,
and nothing can change it.

LIT THR SEALS BE PROTECTED.

Because Blaine has been overreached
and outwitted by Salisbury in his nego
tiations upon the seal question, that is
no reason why the United States should
tamely submit to the destruction of an
industry that is OF great value to this
country. The act of congress which
prohibits the killing of seals in Alaskan
waters should be enforced with the
utmost stringency. Every available ves-
sci in the American navy should be sent
to Boring sea, and the poachers, no mat
ter what their nationality, should be
overhauled, and if they are found to
have violated the law their vessels and
cargoes should be confiscated.
Now is the time for this country to
show that it will assert its rights against
strong powers as well as weak ones
that an offense which it would not
tamely submit to from small South
American republic, it will equally resent
from the greatest of European powers.
If Great Britain seeks aquarrel with this
country the best way to meet her wishes
is to show her that we shall not avoid
it. If it has become question whether
we shall permit Canadian pirates to
destroy the seal fisheries of Alaska or
fight, we ought to fight. In all this con-
troversy we have shown desire to set
tile the matter on fair and sensible prin-
ciples indeed our government is sub
ject to the criticism that it has paid
more Difference to the feelings of Great
Britain in regard to the question of pro-
tecting the seals from outside deetruc-
ton than it was called upon to do either
by the rules of international courtesy or
any other public consideration. In re-
turn for our tameness, to use no harsher
term, Salisbury has led US on wild
goose chase, with the idea that he
would come to our views, and at the
very time it is important that prompt
action should be taken, he insults US
with the proposition to arbitrate the
question and refuses in the meantime to
join Us in adopting temporary measures
that would protect the seals from deci-
nation.
A diplomacy which leads nation into
an absurdity ought to be met with
spirit. The proper way to resent this
kind OF trifing is to cut loose at once
from all further discussion OF the ques-
ton with the British government and
TO take the matter into our own keep
ing. Let us answer Salisbury's refusal
to continue the modus viuendi by say
ing to him that we shall pro-
,ect the seals ourselves, and
warn all poachers that they
will be seized and summarily dealt with.
# this course leads to war, let us face it
n the spirit that our country has here
,ofore faced similar emergencies with
he came power.
We are in honor bound to enforce the
avs that have stood on our statute
books for years, and to protect the ma
ives OF Alaska from the suffering and
tarvation that must ensue if we permit
he seals to be destroyed by Canadian
'oachers. Ii it takes all our warships
o do this, let them all be sent to
3ering sea. Whatever force is neces-
airy to carry out the intentions Of the
tatutes, we should be ready to supply |

It is claimed that the comical situa-
tions of Superba, which is to be pre-
sented here this week at the opera
house, the astonishing mechanical eff
fects, and the elaborate and rapid
changes in its scenery will all 60 to make
it source of constant entertainment.
The porous scenery in which there are
innumerable aud apparently impossible
entrances and exits for clowns and
spirites, is said to be source of intense
curiosity, even to those best acquainted
with stage mechanics.
Superba is production upon which
the Hanlons have been working for
years, and is now making its second
tour. 1t is their latest work, and they
allowed few elements of chance to inter-
fere with its success. They went to the
expense OF erecting, in Behasset, Mass,
the home Of William Hanlon, tremen-
dous workshop 80 feet high and 100 feet
square. The building has all the APP
pointments of g practical stage, and is q
facility possessed by no other travelling
organization. Here the company is re-
hearsed before leaving for the road, and
during the summer it is the storehouse
for all the Hanlon spectacles.

of the Cunard line, just before he left his
Office in Bowling Green this evening. Mr..
Brown has abandoned the belief he held on
Tuesday that the Umbria was delayed only
by the storm, which necessitated reduced
speed. Tonight the Umbria is four
days overdue, too long to be
accounted for by the reduced speed ex-
pIanatlon. While admitting his belief that
the steamers machinery was disabled, Mr.
Brown was earnest in his assertion that
there was no more occasion for alarm than
there had been on Tuesday morning. If
the ship is wholly disabled as to her steam
power, her limited sail power would do
little more than give her headway and keep
her steady, so that until something arrives
which has come over her course since she
started there is hardly chance of hearing
anything about her.
First News May Come From Abroad.
If she is only partly disabled she would,
if nearer Queenstown than New York,
steam to the track of the eastbound liners,
in which case news of her would come first
from the other side. That she was dis
abled while nearer the other side than this,
and is now being towed eastward, is the
opinion of many.

NEW YORK, Dec 2s.-[SpeciaL The
dedicstory exercises of the new Hebrew
Orphan Asylum, at Ralph avenue, Pacific
and Dean streets, Brooklyn, were attended
to-day not only by the conspicuous Hebrews
of the town, but by perhaps still more
conspicuous Christians. Among the latter
were Mayor Boody, who was present in his
official capacity; Hugh Mclaughlin, DR..
McGIynn, his friend and adherent Father
Sylvester Malone and Congressman-elect
Joseph C. Hendrix. Among others present
were Oscar Straus, Isidor Straus and the
Rev. DR.. Mendes. After President Bam-
berger had formally received the key to the
asylum, the Rev. DR.. McGlynn was intro
duced He was received with repeated
cheers
"We Christians, we priests are at once
with you," he said, sin your love and care

of our faith if we forget that the Divine
head OF our religion, who inculcated the
wisdom of your sages and prophets, taught
that charity to little child was blessed"

PROF. SMITH STILL AT LANE,

But His Opponent in the Seminary, DIR
Roberts, Has Been Requested TO Re
sign by the Trustees-The Board Stands
by the Alleged Hereto.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S-The latest news
in the Smith heresy trial has just leaked
out. 1t was not intended that it should
leak out, as the Executive Committee OF
the Board of Trustees of Lane Seminary
had resolved to keep the entire matter a
profound secret But last week, at a meet
ing of this Executive Committee, which
practically runs the institution, Prof
Preserved Smith was present and was anx-
ious to have an official declaration from the
Board. The committee assured him his re-
quest would receive attention, and that a
meeting of the Board would be arranged for
at as early date as possible.
DR.. Smith then desired the sentiment of
the committee as to the propriett and legal
ity of his continuing his work in the semin-
ary, expressing himself willing to suspend
his work pending the determination of the
matter by the trustees, if that should be the
judgment of the committee. They ex-
pressed their full confidence in his teach
ing in the seminary, and urged that he
would not permit any adverse criticism or
personal feeling of sensitiveness to inter-
rupt his work.
But the meeting of the Executive Com
mittee did a good deal more. In the recent
trial Dr. Roberts, also professor in Lane
Seminary, was conspicuous at the start for
his energy and activity on the side OF those
opposed to Prof Smith, Toward the end of
the trial, however, matters evidently be-
came uncomfortable or unpleasant, for he
withdrew. DR.. Roberts has not for some
time been in harmony with the majority
of the present Board of Lane Seminary
Trustees, and there have been rumors of
various Misunderstanding and differences
of opinion. At all events, it is reported
that the Executive Committee finished their
labors by addressing note to DR.. Roberts,
saying that his resignation at the end of the
year would be acceptable.

GREENsBURG, Dec 28.-[Specidl. III.
NJ. Crisinger, young farmer living near
this city, is better off by $4,000 than he
was week ago. Three months ago Girls
niger visited PIttsburg, and while walking
down Fifth avenue he was accosted by an
old man, a stranger, who introduced him
self as David Dallison, of Wheeling, W.
Va. The old man was in trouble. He told
Crisinger he had lost his pocketbook con-
tanning a sum of money and ticket to
Wheeling. He said he was afraid of getting
into more trouble by asking the wrong man
for assistance in such an emergency, and
there were good reasons why he didn't
W ant to make an appeal to public sources
for assistance, winding up by asking Girls
niger to help him out of the predicament
The young man was not so gullible as to
have no doubts about the genuineness of
the case, but he SAYS there was something
in the old mans manner that pleaded in his
favor. He got a fairly good supper for
Dallison and then bought a Wheeling
ticket and saw the old fellow safely on his
train. AS they separated Dallison asked
Crisinger's address, entering it in a pocket
memorandum book, and saying that he
would return the money to Crisinger as
soon as he got home The latter doubted it
at the time, and his doubts were strength
ened as day followed day while he waited
for the price of the ticket. That particular
amount of money never came, but last Mon
day in the mail taken to the farm from the
city was letter from Wheeling attorney
telling Crisinger that old Mr.. Dallison was
dead and that his will was found with a
codicil bequeathing $4,000 to the young
man in recognition of his kindness to a
stranger in strange city.

A Vessel Reports Her All Right Before a
Heavy Storm Arose.
NEW YORK, Dec 29-2 A M-[SpecidL ]
Whatever mishap has befallen the Cunard
steamship Umbris occurred after 10 o'clock
on the morning of December q, when she
was about 70 hours from Queenstown. At
that time the belated Cunarder was about
LAO miles from Roche's Point. It
was a fine clear morning and there
was nothing more than usual sea that fol-
lows a fierce northwester. The first news of
the appearance of the Umbria was brought
into Quarantine last night by the Ham
burg-American steamship Moravla, which
left Hamburg December II. The chief
officer reports that he sighted the
Cunarder in latitude 49o, longitude $50 So
above three miles distant. She was in the
regular westbound passenger track and
was going at her usual speed. In
order to be sure of the identity of
the steamship the chief officer called Cap
tain Winchler to the bridge, and he and
the other officers declared that the two
funneled three-masted vessel in the dis
tance was the Umbria
Later in the day the weather became
tempestuous and the seas arose. 1t may
have been in this storm that the Umbria
was crippled. When seen by the Moravla
she was about 780 miles northwest of the
Azores, to which she would naturally drift, or
if she got up any canvas, run for a haven.
She must have met some mighty rough

Why the Suspected Author of the Dublin
Explosion Was Liberated.
DUBLIN, Dec 28.-Considerable doubt
is entertained among the residents here as
to Kevans, the man arrested at Nenagh
County Tpperary, being the author of the
explosion il this city The police, how
ever, after making most searching investi-
cation, found that the story he told of
where he had been and what he had been
doing is true in every particular.
Their inquiries revealed that the man in
custody had not been near the scene of the
explosion, and, an alibi having been satis-
factorily shown, nothing remsined but to
release him The police are, therefore, as
far as ever from discovering the author of
the outrage.
