TELLING POINTS.

The Record Union has already re-
ferred to some of the strong points
made by the President in his welcom-
ing speech to the returning Pennsylva-
MIA volunteers, in which he gave the
lie direct to charges made by the con-
tractionists and in which he COM
pressed historic facts into a few sem
tences, showing that the action of the
United States in the Philippines was
fully justified and indeed was newt
able
But the assertive quality of the
Presidents speech was not confined to
these matters. He went beyond any
thing defensive, and in acknowledging
the splendid patriotism of the volun-
teers who remained in service long
after they were entitled to be dis
charged he took occasion to compare
their loyalty and devotion to their
country and its cause, with the cow
ardice and traitorous action of the
copperheads at home For instance,
there is no mistaking the meaning of
this expression nor the spirit in which
it was uttered:
They voluntarily remained in the
service, and declared their purpose to
stay until their places could be filled
by new levies, and longer if the Gov
ernment needed their services and
they understood it was not to be in
camp or garrison, free from danger.
but on the battle line, where exposure
and death confronted them, and where
both have exacted their victims They
did not stack arms; they did not run
away. They were not serving the in
surgents in the Philippines or their
sympathizers at home. They had no
part or patience with the men, few in
number, happily, who would have re-
toiced to have seen them lay down their
arms in the presence of an enemy
whom they had just emancipated from
Spanish rule, and who should have
been our firmest friends.
Not less direct and stinging was the
expression later on in the speech:
Who refused to sound the retreat?
Who stood in the breach when others
weakened? Who resisted the sugges-
tlou oI the uHpdliIol4C HlIdl Ih0y
should come home? Let me call the
roll of the regiments and battalions
that deserve to be perpetuated in the
nations annals.
/ The few men who exerted themselves
to have these gallant volunteers de-
sert the Government in the hour of its
| peril will receive their due reward in
the judgment their fellow citizens will
| pass upon them. Indeed, in the ver-
dict already pronounced against them.
1t is not one of which their descend
ants will have reason to be proud.

African Beers is very gloomy. The
concessions the latter make are held
by the British to be inadequate. In
the meanwhile both parties prepare for
war and refugees by the thousand are
already arriving from the Transyaal
upon the British coast, under the be-
lief that war cannot be averted. The
Beers are reported to be actively en-
gagged in stirring up native tribes IN
hostility to the English, and to be in
dustriously fortifying and arming,
While transports from England to the
cape settlements leave weekly bear
ing troops and munitions of war. The
difficulty between the two ought to be
concessions of the Beers regarding the
naturalization of Uitlanders are quite
as liberal as England asked for in the
first instance, but which she now re-
jects. The English demands grow
constantly, and, it would seem, are of
nature impossible for the Beers to
grant without surrender of the integ-
rity of their Government as an indie
pendent State. If war comes the out
come can be forecast. In the end the
British will win. Superiority of num-
bers and resources, ability to maintain
a costly war and the impossibility Of
ever confessing defeat at the hands of
SO small a body of men as the Beers,
render it reasonably certain no matter
what the resistance of the Transyaal
may be, nor how long continued, that
England will pursue the conflict until
the enemy is completely exhausted and
the whole country is laid waste. 1t
is fated that Great Britain is to dom
mate in all South Africa. All that
opposition to her can do is to postpone
the day of appropriation for time.
