AN ORATORICAL GEM.
Stunrt Robson Pays His Debt to the
Confederacy I'm Words of Meaning
and Beauty.


Some two or three years ago Mr.. Stuart
Robson, the actor. gave the Henrietta
at the Union-Square Theatre for the bene-
1T Of the Confederate Veteran Camp. of
New York. Some 1900 was realized. At
the conclusion of the performance Colonel
Samuel Paul. in behalf of the camp. pre-
scented Mr. Robson with a gold badge OF
their organization, when Mr. Robson re-
sponded as follows:
"a grave purpose underlies the merri-
ment of this afternoon. The humOr Of the
performance, the mirth OF the audience
are only the smoke Of the sacrificial Of
fering-an Offering of deep and serious pa
triotsm. 1t IS not for me TO touch upon
the features of that patriotism. but |
shall always feel a thrill Of pride hereaf-
ter when | recall the share you have let
me take IN paying the debt Of the Con-
federacy to its veterans and IT'S veterans
children. You make no appeal 20 Con-
gress-you put no rayenous hand into the
National Treasury. You take nothing
from the nations surplus wealth. All you
do is TO confess your debt to your heroes
and pay IL as best you can with your own
money. But not only TO those who have
survived the Kissing bolts of war-the
weary march. the waste of famine-do you
stand Indebted. They are still among you.
But there are others whose ears the dust
has stopped. who will never hear another
trumpet sound. Rank upon rank regi-
ment upon regiment, brigade upon brit
gade. they lie as they fell, facing the
heavens. Never forget them. Each
asleep i'm his narrow cell is your creditor.
Pay him with the coinage of your memo
ry. Let your gratitude shine on his grave
with the sunlight. Happy sleepers! Do
they know that the sacred soil in which
they lie throbs with new energies? The
jubilant song OF the new era Of the South
browns the dirge OF the Lost Cause. They
I'm their graves are the conquerors, and
the golden hour Of their motherland is the
triumph of their valor."

What seems to be reliable informatio
from Berlin is to the effect that the con-
stituents of Rector Ahlwardt, the profess
SIGNAL 'Jew-baiter," have offered him the
sum of five thousand marks to remain in
this country From the standpoint of the
subscribers that offer may seem to be fair,
but the idea Is not likely to be popular on
this side of the Atlantic We have already
a great surplus of undesirable residents
dumped here. in many instances, by nations
ana communities that used means SOME

Wardt's constituents. We do not want any
more such nuisances. yet we may consent
to the keeping of Ahlwardt because 1t might
be for the general good. In Germany h,

After the Venezuelan Commission.

Much curiosity exists respecting the prob
able procedure after the Venezuelan COM
mission shall have completed its report.
VIII the President, before formally an
nouncing the nature of the report, seek the
further cooperation of Congress on the
subject? He brought Congress into the
matter by special message, and Congress
committed itself with promptness and
rrankness in support of the course the
President recommended. Does this entitle
Congress to still further consideration in
the premises? Does not Great Britain ex-
pect . hear further from Congress. as
well as from the President? 1t is insist ed
that this is not a diplomatic duel between
President Cleveland and Premier Sails
bury. but matter of the gravest business
between the two governments in their en-
tirety.
These inquiries are of the greater inter-
est by reason of the proposition to adjourn
Congress at an unusually early day. Five
more weeks, it Is thought, will complete
the session. Obviously. therefore, if Con-
srssS is to be further consulted. the COM
missions report must soon be handed in, or
the matter will go over until next winter.
There is an opinion that, in any event.
the matter will go over until after the No
vember elections. The President, it is
suggested. would not care to make an ex-
treme move except under extreme provo
cation, pending a national contest about
domestic concerns. He would not be in
huenced by the absurd British taunts and
suspicion that advantages in domestic pol
itics are sought in this Venezuelan affair."
but would be guided by the safe principle
not to multiply active issues at such a
time. Nor would Great Britain be likely
to provoke him unduly. She is making no
further advances in Venezuela, and will
make none for the present. She under
stands that the United States has come
into the case to stay until just settle
ment has been effected, and until she
hears from the United States definitely as
to the commissions findings she is likely
to remain passive.
Still another point advanced Is that the
details of the final settlement of this
boundary line dispute SO far as the United
States Is concerned may fall to Mr.. Cleye-
lands successor in the White House, and
that for this reason there will probably be
no haste. There will be no change of gen.
eral policy, of course. The one thing alb
SOlutely certain about the next President
IS that. no matter from what section he
may come, or from what party chosen, he
will uphold the Monroe doctrine in spirit
and in truth. and that Venezuela will lind
IN him a steadfast friend. This govern
nent has put its hand TO the ploW and
will not turn back

SavaSes rs Soldiers,

There was a time, and not so long ago,
when Great Britain thought but little Of
the more or less savage tribes with whom
British troops frequently came in contact
Nation after nation of the uncivilized was
speedily overthrow and the crude govern
ments that had existed FOR thousands of
years were supplanted by the ruling forces
which acknowledge the Unicn Jack as their
emblem. Conditions have changed recently
however, and in at least one instance the
military power of England finds itself op-
posed by those who but a little while ago
were slightingly termed ''niggers," but who
today are fairly capable soldiers. This
change has been wrought by the rifle 1t
used to be that only the civilized troops
had improved firearms-their opponents
generally had to content themselves with
spears and shields and bows and arrows
and other crude weapCnS-but today there
is practically no difference between the
armament of the trained soldier and that
of the more blood-thirsty and much more
reckless savage. Evidence of this revised
condition of affairs Is found in the retreat
of Capt. Napier, who, with some two hun
dred men. left Buuwayo to reconnoitre
cut who promptly retreated when the pres
ence of two or three thousand Matabee
warriors was revealed. Ten years ago two
hundred English soldiers would have been
fully equal to the task of slaughtering twice
that number of Matabele, but that was ten
years ago. Even the most enthusiastic Eng
fish officer would hesitate today If called
upon to attack force three or four times
as large as his own. Later and even
stronger testimony was given in Caoe
Town dispatch In yesterdays Star in which
1t was stated that British sortie in force
from Buluwayo had been fruitless of every
thing but slaughter and that remarkably
large and discouraging percentage Of the
killing was done by the Matabele. 1t is
well that those who are in charge
OF the anti-Matabele campaign are tax
Ing note of the modernized conditions;
Italy failed to dc so in Abyssinia
and the failure was so costly that the
folly Is not likely to be repeated. In this
country the Indian has for many years
been in the possession Of better arms than
were issued to the troops and in every
Campaign since 1876 knowledge of this fact
has had much to do with the plans and
movements of those who have been called
upon to compel peace on the border

Vocal Politics,

1t has been stated in newspaper reports
of the Massachusetts, democratic conven-
ton which net in Boston this week, that
at mention of the name of William Eustis
Russell as the choice of the Massachusetts
democracy for the nomination of President,
mighty cheer went up from the dele
gates, which was repeated time and time
again. the chairman of the convention hav-
ing to stand for several minutes before his
voice could be heard Several minutes" Is
much too indefinite, and it is important
that there be more precise information as
to the vociferous features of the conven-
tons which hereafter to take place. What
We want to know is the exact duration of
the yelling episode at Boston. 50 that there
may be comparison with the other yelling
episodes which may confidently be looked
for. If the cheers for Mr.. Russell ex-
EauSted themselves IN four minutes and a
half. while the applause in Illinois at men
ton of Mr.. Mcrrison's name continues for
six minutes, 1T is essential that the ma
tional democratic convention should know
that popular enthusiasm for Mr.. Morrison
in Illinois Is minute and half ahead Of
democratic exultation at the announcement
of Mr.. Russell's name in Boston. 1t is
within the bounds of human probability
that at least a dozen names will receive
more or less conspicuous ovation in the
state and territorial conventions yet to be
held. and in order that there may be no
unfairness in the records which take note
OF partisan vocal energy. We would suggest
the appointment, by the democratic ma
tional committee, Of efficient and official
timekeepers
