The arrival at New ITork on Friday of
Air. Wilson Barrett , the English actor ,
who will play engagements in the prln-
eioal cities of the country , is an event
ot considerable , interest in the current
experience of the American stage. At
homo Mr. Barret ranks only second , and
not very much below Mr. llonry Irving
in the popular esteem as an exponent of
dramatic art , and in his particular
school , the heroic , is without a poor on
the English stage. Ho is also one of the
most progressive managers of the tinje ,
having in this respect contributed his
full share to the improvement and growtli
of the stage up to the high standard it
has attained both in England and
tVmeriea. Added to those merits is the
fact that Mr. Barrett is au author , al
though perhaps ho does not regard this
as greatly increasing his claim to con
sideration , since the work of his pen has
been the least useful of his cilbrts in
bringing him fame and fortune.
The announcement some time ago of
the proposed visit of Mr. Barrett to the
United States called out some ill-tem
pered remarks reflecting upon English
actors and upon the American habit of
receiving them with open arms , which it
is not unlikely wilt bo repeateil now that
a loading English actor is really amoug
ua. Such terms as "theatrical adven
turer , " and "stage tramp , ' ' wore ap
plied to Irving and llarrott by at least
one paper that assumes to bo respecta
ble. It was said that as American actors
visiting England had rarely been treated
with any favor or courtesy our people
should retaliate when English actors
came to this country. Wo are glad to
believe that this feeling is confined to a
very limited circle , for it has nothing to
justify or commend it. As a matter of
fact , American actors of deserved repute
have not fared ill at the hands of the
English public in Into years , but on the
contrary have achieved added fame and
increased their gains materially in Eng
land. Booth and Miss Anderson are cer
tainly shining examples of this , and the
recent experience of the Daly comedy
company was of the most gratifying
character. John McCullough and Lawrence -
ronco Barrett did not have HO fortunate
an experience , but the fault cannot bo
fairly charged entirely to the English
public. But even if that public were aa
indifferent to the claims of American
actors as it is alleged to bo , it would still
bo most unwise for our people to retal
iate by refusing to countouaneo English
actors whoso experience and ability
may contribute to our instruction
and to the improvement and ad
vancement of our stage. Such a policy
as this would not now bo considered
worthy of regard in China , or Japan. A
people seeking intellectual progress
should wolcomu every help to that result.
Wo shall bo glad to lind. therefore , that
Mr. Wilson Barrett is made the recipient
of a cordial welcome , and if Ins merit is
as great as is claimed for him nobody
who takes a right view of tliu matter
will regret His taking b.iok to England a
generous sum in return for tlio bu limits
of his instruction and example.
Now Vork's M.iyornllty Contust.
The first political experience of the
Inbor candidate for mayor of New York ,
Mr. Henry Gnorgo , appears to have boon
of an encouraging character The labor
element is reported to bo rallying to his
support with great unanimity and en
thusiasm. It is now confidently pre
dicted that his > oto will not fall below
50,000 , and may exceed that amount.
The workinginoti are nlso contributing
generously of their means. Hut support
is not entirely confined to this class.
Business men , some outside of Now York ,
are bignifying their preference for the
labor candidate and giving earnest of
their friendship by contributing to the
cammign fund. Thorn cems to bn no
doubt , that for all the ligitimalo pur-
po os of the content the supply of funds
will bo amnlo. The danger that con
fronts the movement Is that it may in
sonio way become identified with the nld
lolitical organi/atloiis by getting the en-
lorsemcnt of 0110 of Ilium. There tins
been some talk of Tammany doing this.

Tito Point Involved.
Four da > s ago the Bi.i : published the
fir l authentic account of tlio true in
wardness of General .Miles' Apache earn-
gaign and Geroiumo'sMirrcmlcr. It was
the first paper in tlio United States to
give the facts as they were and to
punctilio by tlm statement of an eye wit
ness absurd claims which the fool friends
ot Miles have been persistently advanc
ing on behalf of that general. The
achievement of General Miles , when dis
sected , scorns to have been one which any
ofliocr could have accomplished had ho
been willing to defy the orders of the
war department. It was well known that
the red-handed Gerouimo was mx.iotis to
surrender on terms that would .spare his
life and transuort him to his family in
Florida. Crook had so reported before
ho Ictt the territory. Every officer of
intelligence was perfectly familiur with
the fact. The war department , however ,
llatl.y declined to close the Apache war
on such terms. They so informed Gen
eral Crook and insisted that the hosliles
must either be captured with their arms
or brought in on terms of unconditional
.surrender. General Miles assumed
charge in Ari/.onn with a full knowledge
of tlio situation , lie promptly announced
that Crook had failed in capturing the
hostilcs because his methods were faulty.
Tno press wis : filled with dispatches of
Miles' activity , of the dismissal of the
Indian scouts , the increase of the regular
forces , while civilians were called
upon to note that science and sig
nalling were to combine with military
valor to close in a few weeks the cam
paign about to bo inaugurated. For
twenty-two weeks General Miles' regu
lars chased up and down canyons , scaled
mountains , guaidcd crater holes , were
out scores of men and hundreds of horses
without tcsults. Geronimo and his band
refused , to bo captured and skipped nim
bly over the border and back at their own
sweet will. At last the country was
electrified by the news that the band had
surrendered " " and
"unconditionally" were
on their way to Fort Bowio. A few days
afterwards they were hastily forwarded
by rail to Florida. At this point the war
department interposed and ordered them
stopped at San Antonio until Miles could
explain .what the movement meant.
Tlio BII'S : letter from Camp Grant
gave the explanation several d.'iys in ad
vance of General Miles' report. Geron
imo had surrendered on his own terms ,
a'.id hi.s surrender had been accepted in
defiance of tlio peremptory orders of tlio
war department. Ac a single blow the
glory of Miles' campaign vanished. lie
had accomplished by disobedience of or-
deis just what any ollieor clothed with
authority would have done months ago
without campaigning , signaling , or
change of methods. To adil to the situa
tion , it appears that all of Crook's
"methods , " scouts , conference , and all
were secretly adopted , and that General
Miles , after decrying Ins predecessor and
his work , had in reality been sailing
under his colors.
TIio chief point involved then is disobe
dience of orders by General Miles , by
which tl'o government is bound to save the
lifo of Geronimo , and support in indolence
that savage Apache whoso hands are dyed
up to the elbows with the blood of the
citi/.ons of Arizona. Another point is
the deceit under which Miles has been at
tempting to detract from the reputation
of Crook while secretly employing the
moans and methods which ho assailed.
Kducnlloii in tlio South.
The question of promoting education
in the south by direct aid of the govern
ment received a good deal of attention tit
the last two sessions of congress , drawn
out by the Blair bill , which proposed to
appropriate some eighty millions of dollars
lars tor this purpose. The measure
found some strong supporters1 among
southern mombons of congress , but it
also met with a vigorous opposition from
that section. It is not probable that any
such plan will over tie adopted , although
it must bo granted that , in a largo pint of
tiio south , some additional moans and
effort to that which the population is able
or willing to provide for educational pur
poses uio sadly needed. Another phase
of this question , that of supporting edu
cational missions in the sotitliern states ,
\\as presented in an address delivered a
few days ago by Mr. Gcorgo W. Cable at
Northampton , Mass. Ho said there is a
work going on in the southern states
whoso records will make a unique page
in the histories of nations , yet it is rather
known of , than really known , and it is
almost universally undervalued. The
civil war , enfranchisement , recon
struction these the nation knows ,
but the still , small voice of this
last gentle force sends hardly n thrill
throughout the country , and yet without
intelligently listening to it the history of
our times cannot bo understood. It is a
kind of peaceful invasion , Nobody sup
posed wlion it bogau that It was going to
dovulop into what it has become. The
nation began with two antagonistic ideas
of soei il oider. I Ills is roilh the peace
able project of t'te b.-tler idea in destroy
the other , tlio content js upon the old
linei , and is the ivact'ful continuation
and completion of llio civil War. It is no
longer anv mere cIuAroli matter , but
something that coneerm every American
etluvn ,
Illustrating by reference to national
statistics what an enormous uiimbor of
people wore intereU'd in pushing this
project , Mr. Table said1 that llio people
of American and Atjglo-Ha\on face rule
this land not by an arrogated supremacy ,
much less by a monopoly of ollice , but
by the natural weight itul power of in
tolligeuoe , knowledge and wealth , and
the principles of universal justice wlileh
they maintain. 1 our-lifths of all that
portion of thi * clement , resident in the
northern stales and territories , approve
and encourage this movement , and more
than two-lifths rightly claim it as their
own. It is , moreover , a highly organ-
i/cd force. Its pulpits alone furnish
thirty-six thousand trained leader * of
men , while in the face of all that is being
propo.-od and undertaken , there is
throughout the nation no organi/ed or
active opposition. In a word , this work ,
In the nnobtrushe guise of church lar
gess , is really the prosecution by the na
tion itsolt , without the government , of a
national policy in the form of a mission
ary scliomo.
This scheme is gathering the fruits of
the war. It spends annually nearly a
million of dollars , devoted to the cause
of education where it is most needed ,
in educating educators. In one year
lately it had about eight hundred and
fifty .students for the ministry , besides
law anil medical students , and has fur
nished the south with a carps of colored
teaehor.s for colored youth , now at work
in tlm state public schools' , to the number
of 10,01)0. ) Without it the education of tlio
colored children in the .south could not
have been projected at all in the taeo of
caste distinctions that prevail there. No
other torce lias done a tithe as much to
tcaeli southern wiuto intelligence the
possibility and desirability of educating
the negro. Tlio practical results attained
during the past twenty years un
der this system were shown to
bo of the most gratifying character ,
and Mr. C'able said the educational party
in the south is to-day a unit in laver of
the maintenance and enlargement of this
work. The.so educational missions are
the one potent , active force pushing on
the reconsti notion of the southern states ,
as against there-assertion and reestablishment
lishment of the old traditions.
As this scheme is no longer an experi
ment , as its benefits and advantages are
apparent and demonstrable , and as the
object is the highest to which human
effort can bo applied , it makes a demand
for a moro generous ( support than it lias
yet received The iiold'iin ' king work is
very far from being covered. There i.s
ample opportunity , , and a more or less
urgent requirement , lur the expenditure
of four or live times' the amount now
Used in promoting lulucaiion in the south
by this plan. It is not enough that the
work slmll not bo ponmttcd to decline.
It must be advanced and' ' enlarged. On
the continued success of this work , in the
opinion ot Mr. Cublej defend in no small
degree the rogouoratiop of the south , the
perfection of emancipation , llio solution
of the southern question. The duly of
maintaining this work must rest in the
future , as it has done in the past , upon
the liberality of the people of the north.
THE indifference of President Cleve
land regarding the Charleston calamity
has evidently deeply wounded the feel
ings of the peoulo ot that stiickon city.
While from every other quarter thov
received expressions and substantial
assurances of sympathy , even England's
sovereign deigning to wire words of con
dolence , the fact that the president would
not give up a little part of his season of
rest and enjoyment in behalf of these suf
ferers , who were among his most devoted
admirers , i.s a feature of their unhappy
experience which affects them keenly
and which they will not soon forget. In
professing that they do not know what to
make of it , they indicate a remarkable
deficiency of appichonaion respecting
the real character of Mr. Cleveland. As
T'o explained some time ago in referring
to tins matter , lie is in no direction a
man of sentiment or sympathy. His is
not a nature to bo deeply moved by the
misfortunes ot others , however great.
There is very little of the spirit of charity
in his composition and not a very largo
portion of ordinary human kindness
There has not been in his whole career ,
private or public , so far as wo are aware ,
a single instance ot manly generosity , of
sincere .solicitude for the welfare of
others , ( trover Cleveland is a thoroughly
self-abaorbed , self-seeking man , and in
the pursuit of his ends or pleasure \ - >
deaf ami blind to the concerns of other
people : not linked with his own , whether
or not they arc , as In the case of the
Charleston sufferers , such as should
properly command Ids attention.
TIIKKK are arguments that prove too
much. An example , is shown in the
campaign text book of the democratic
congressional committee , which is made
up of n report or statement of the regis
ter of tlio treasury showing obligations
duo the government from miblio ollicials
during the period sincfi 1981. The pur
pose of this was , of course , to show the
alarming extent to which the govern
ment was defrauded'tinder republican
administrations , lint'whilo ' the figures
mount up to u considerable total , when
they are compared with tl\o \ amount for
an equal period under d emocratio ad
ministrations , it is foymd , that the per
centage of losses .to . i the govern
ment during the latffer was thir
teen times greater than in the period
of republican rule. A further mistake
was made by the democratic committee
in clmracten/ing disputed balances as
defalcations since the application of this
rule necessarily brings a great many
mmubers of their own party under the
head of defaulters. Such a characteriza
tion ! .i obviously incorrect and unjust.
The democrats have evidently made a
very bungling job of this matter , and
furnished against themselves , without
cost or labor to the republicans , a trench
ant and conclusive argument.
THE republicans of the Third district
have nominated by acclamation Hon.
Goo. W. E. Dorooy as their candidate
for congressman. The fact that there
was no contestant for the honor is tlio
best evidence of tbe satisfactory manner
in which Mr. Doreey lias served his con
stituents during the past two years , lie
hns proved himself to be an honest ,
slrlghlforward , and hard working mem
ber , who has not sacrificed the transac
tion of necessary business to a useless
display of stump oratory. Mr. Dom-y's
.speeches have not taken up many pages
of the llcrorit , or muc'li of the time of the
lionso , but his faithful , earnest and
conscientious work is seen in
the passage of a number
ot measures in which his
stale and Ills t'.Utricl was interested. His
record as a voting member is clean and
straight , lu accord willi ( lie sentiments of
his constituency and in n line with the
most intelligent \ lew * of the best informed
members. The Third district republicans
have acted wisely in refusing to liMcn to
any other name than Mr. lor.ejsfor ) thn
olliee to which they will certainly elect
him by a rousing , old tune republican
