In recent years the very name of Cecil Rhodes
has been snathema maranatha to the Irish at
Westminster. Yet il must be remembered that
he was an earnest and generous advocate of
rational home rule for Ireland. He has been
rallied at unstintedly by Liberals and Radicals
yet so far as he was interested in British poll
tics 1t was on their side, and they were once
glad to get his material aid. His great South
Africa Company was denounced as a corpora
ton Of Tory tngoes and royal dukes yet in
truth 1t was largely composed Of thrifty Radl-
Gals and Of men whose standing was above all

Rhodes's colleagues in the chartered company

vehement in denouncing. strange picture or

SAFETY IN THEATRES.

The Lyceum Theatre in Fourth-ave., is TO be
torn down. Its history had many credtable
passages; but its auditorium was not on the
street level, as II should have been, and in the
same block with it was more than one cheap
and fimsy building which endangered its safety
In case of fire. Under our present law no new
places Of amusement can he constructed after
the plan Of the Lyceum. That place of enter
talnment was managed with prudence and vigi-
lance and there was never a serious fire scare
within its walls. No theatre or opera house.

secure unless its chief entrances and exits are
on the level of the sidewalks

that the orchestra and parquet seats in that

building were not reached by lofty flights of
steps, but the exits from the gallery and the
lobbies were wholly insufficient. Much progress
has been made in the construction and arrange
ment of our temples of the drama since the
Brooklyn Theatre calamity. and not many of
the best known theatres and concert halls can
now be denounced possible death traps But
ii will be for the general benefit and the promo

nervous over the possible risks Of fire. Every
one of the old fashioned buildings however in
which Starcases are used to climb up to the

ness among its patrons. While one of these re-

CECIL RHODES.

The fatal asterisk Of death is set to-day
against one of the great names Of our time
questions of evil and Of good apart, the magni-
tude of Cecil Rhodes's mark upon the history
of the age. and, indeed, upon the immeasura bic
future. is beyond dispute. Not for half a cen
tury and more has Great Britain or any nation
produced a more powerful and successful en-
pire builder nor has there been in that time a
man who has done more toward filling I'D the
blank spaces upon the map of the world and
toward giving them their distinctive color
There is perhaps no story of him more hack

That is my dream" Well that dream was
long ago more than fulfilled. Cecil Rhodes
added TO the British Empire the vast central
portion of Africa from the Orange River not
only 10 the Zambesi, but clear up to Lake
Tanganyika. II he and he alone who did

Men have lately seemed To think of Cecil
Rhodes chiefly as an aggressor against the two

larger stakes, and won them His march or

EFFECT or THE SUGAR CONVENTION.

EFTECI Or IHE 81 OAK CON IN IION.
The Sugar Convention recently concluded at
Brussels will work i'll both directions. 1t is
prohibitive, and it is mandatory. The former
phase of its action is the more familiar one,
but we are not sure 1t is the more important
1t prohibits all bOuntes, direct or Indirect, by
which the production or expectation Of sugar
would be in any way benefited. This prohibition
applies. therefore, to bonuses on production,
bonuses on exports, rebates, total partial
exemption from taxation, and all other schemes
and devices for the artificial stimulation of the
sugar trade -Four countries which do not yet
export sugar are exempted from the prohibition
of bomties production so long they
non-eXpOrters, but soon as they begin to eX-
port sugar they will be subject TO the full pro-
hibition.
So much for that side of the case. The other
amounts to this, that the signatory powers are
pledged to impose cOuntervailing duties upon
all sugar which they import from bounty pay
ing lands That is really the salient feature Of
the whole business. 1t amounts to the enact
ment by the congress of the very device which
was used as n gOad to make the congress eff
fective. There is no secret about it that former
sugar congresses failed to accomplish anything
simply because power of sufficient mpOr-
tance was able resolutely to threaten the bounty
paying countries with tariff reprisals. In this
latest congress Great Britain did specifically
and earnestly make just that threat. That It
was that brought the other countries to terms.
And so the congress not only yielded to that
threat, but made it compulsory upon its mem
bers to make that threat against all the world.
Now, the principle of counteryang duties is
II familiar and acceptable one to the United
States. So it is to various other countries But
TO Great Britain, or 10 such part of Great Brit
ain as Is still loyal to Cohdenism, it must come
as most unwelcOme shock We can imagine
nothing more obnoxious to the true Cobd anite
Any duties, save for revenue. are bad eocugh
But of all the hated things, discriminating and
countervaing duties are the worst One can
imagine how Golden would have ragged and how
