General Uoynton lias suggested that
tlio Army of the Cuiubcilnnil erect n
ptatno to the Into Samuel J. Randall.
3lr. Itamlall did not servo wltli that
aimy, but while with his troop In tho
three months' service he did writo a
letter to his personal fileml, Thomas A,
S?cott, then Assistant Sccictary of War,
sufgcstliiff the promotion of Colonel
Thomas to u biigadlcrshlp, General
Tliomns being afterward a commnndor
hf the Army of the Cumberland.
General Uoynton 's speclllc proposi
tion is thnt the etntuo bo an equestrian
one, and that 3Ir. Kendall be put for
ward as the typical repiesentattvo of
the Ainciicnn privato soldier. There
t'rnilil certainly be none better, so f.ir
as tho man goes. But !Ir. Ilamlall's
service was so short and so devoid of
incident, as it seems to us, as to give,
this proposition an element of Incon
gruity. It was not Sam llnnilnll, the privato,
but Samuel .T. Itundall, the merchant
and politician, whose letter had weight
and Influence at tho War Department,
then controlled by two of Pennsylva
nia's chief business men and politicians.
The true typo of the heroic soldier
Is Lntour D'Auvergne, who, ris
ing to a captaincy the same rank
Hand all Anally held in his troop
steadily refused promotion only to be
immortalized by Napoleon under the
unique title of "Fiist Gicnadhr of
Franco." lie claimed to be competent
only to command a compiny of
grenadiers, but his "compmy"
llnnlly numbered 8,000 men and
was styled uy the enemy the 'In
fernal column," on account of the
dread inspired by its bayonet churgu'.
Killed in action in 1S0O, until the Kin
piic fell in ISM, his mime continued to
be called at roll, and the oldest sergeant
tn tho regiment replied: "Dead on tho
rield of honor."
Or Sergeant William Jasper of the
Revolution, who at the siege of Fort
Sloullrle in 1770, when the ilag-staff
was shot away and the flag fell into the
iirh outside the fort, sprang through
an tmbrosure, rescued it, fastened it to
n sponge-staff, replaced it on the para
pet and there held it amidst a hail of
bullets till another Hag-stall: could bo
prepared. Offered the commission of a
lieutenant, he declined the promotion.
He performed numerous other exploits
of personal daring, and was killed at
tho assault on Savannah In 1770, while
attempting to fasten the colors of his
legiment on the parapet of the redout
the regiment was assaulting.
Find a soldier like these, General,
anil hmnortali'c his features in endur
ing bronze, and if the Army of the
Cumberland wants to honor Samuel J.
Randall, represent him us a statesman,
for It was as such he gained his honor
able and imperishable fame.
THE COLUMIJUS L1BKA11Y.
If the proposition adopted by the
I'an-Americans yesterday to establish a
Latin-American library In this city Is
carried out, as it should be, it will bo a
valuable contribution to the' llbrories
and collections which already go far to
make "Washineton a literary centre. It
would be of especial value to tho hls
toilcal student, as It would bo rich In
books, maps and manuscripts relating
to the discoveries, explorations, settle
ment and development of the flourish
ing Latin-American countries to tho
south of us. If nothing clso wero ac
complished than tho founding of this
appropriately named Columbus Library
the conference would have justified Its
existence.
AlimTKATION.
The Pan-American Confeienco yes
teiday adopted four resolutions with
reference to arbitiatlon as a part of
American public or international law.
As adopted these resolutions read as
follows:
1. That the principle of conquest shall
not, during the continuance of the treaty
of arbitration; bu iccognlzcd as admissible
utidcr American public law. '
2. That all cessions of territory made
Curing the continuance ot the treaty ot
arbitration shall bo void, It made under
tlinats of war or the presence of an armed
Jorce.
if. A nation from' which such cession
eball be exacted may demand that tlio va
lidity of the cessions shall be&ubraltted to
arbitration.
-I. Any renunciation of the right to ar
bitration, made under the conditions
named Id the second section, shall be null
nrwl void.
It Is, perhaps, significant that Chill
did not vote.
It may seem somewhat ungracious to
criticise arbitration at this time, but the
plain truth Is that this plan to abolish
wor and substitute diplomacy, under
the guNo of arbitration, will probably
fall the first tlmo it is really tested.
Nations heretofore havo only consented
to arbitration in matters concerning
which they cared llttlo one way or tho
other, or In cases where one nation felt
It was In the wrong, and selected this
wny out of it. No nation ever yet con
sented, and, unless human nature
changes materially, no nation over will
consent, to arbitration on any essential
point involving Its honor, Its dignity
ir tho integrity of Its territory. In
inch cases tho only appeal is to the ar
bitrament of war,
. i"-(3S,
i WUBA;,
'Jills Is not to say thai tlio action ot
yistcula.v is without value. It is of
great value. It Is a step, however
short, in tho right direction. It will
probably do away with wars for which
there Is no especial cause. In fine, It
ought to picvont what wo may term
avoidable wars. Our peaceful brethren
of the (Juakcr persuasion and members
of peace societies generally to tho con
trary notwithstanding, nil wars are not
avoidable, and will not bo so long as
quarrels among nations which can only
be dtteimlncd by war continue to oc
cur, and they will so continue until
the human Individuals who compose
the nations can get along among them
selves without recourse to tho civil and
criminnl com Is
Arbitration will fall whenover cither
of tho parties thereto declines to bo
bound by It, for the very palpable rea
son that there Is no power lodged any
wheio to enforce tho decision of the ar
biliator. What would arbitration be
tween, for Instance, Nicaragua and tho
United States amount to If tho latter
sliould decline, for any cans", to bo
bound by tho decision of tho arbitrator?
How could the decision bo in ado to
stand?
AVo are glad tho conference did what
It could to prevent future wars, but Wo
do not tho less believe that our navy
should be built up until it is ready to
cope successfully with that of any other
nation on earth. The millennium has
not come, neither has 11 dawned. The
hope of universal peace Is n dream,
bcautiful.irldcsccut, but still a dream.
All tho swords have not yet been beaten

FURTHER ABOUT BOOK BEER
JCditor Critic: Your Impression this
evening contains a learned and interest
ing article from the Chicago JtcraUl,
headed "How Hock Hcer was Named."
There are one or two points upon which
tho writer might give us further In
formation, to wit:
1, "The Babylonians ond Assyilaus
Invented beer." It would bo gratifying
to obtain indubitable testimony to this
statement, since tho Babylonian account
of tho delngo casually mentions that
among other articles taken Into the ark
were "wine, beer uud divers provis
ions." A strong probability o.Ists that
some sort of beer was coexistent with
man's thirst for it. At all ovonts It was
evidently n common antediluvian drink.
Soino contend that the Babylonian Tal
mud was bodily stolen from that of the
Jews. . Others, again, maintain the re
verse. Seeing tho rcspcctlvo contem
poraneous weight of evidence, the re
verso would scorn, more probable, as tho
cylinders antedate both.
"Tho bock beer is only an uufit
translation." Why a translation
scarcely appears, The German "bock"
is not limited to a male or "buck" deer.

Welcome, Wilson lliirrott
Tho New National Theatre will be
occupied by Sir. Wilson Barrett nnd his
superb London company next week. A
particularly brilliant engagement is pre
dicted, and the popular English actor
will without doubt renew his former
successes here. Sir. Barrett has a largo
ciicle of fiiends and admirers in Wash
ington, and he is as much of a social
favorite hero ns any artist who has come
to us from across the Atlantic. Sir,
Barrett will be aided, ns on his former
visit, by Sliss Eastlako and Georgo Bar
rett. Tho plays announced for the
week ore as follows: Slonday and Tues
day nights, "Bcn-BIy-Chree;" Wednes
day afternoon tho triplo bill, "The
Color Sergeant," "A Clerical Error"
and "Chatterton;" Wednesday night,
"The Silver King;" Thursday night
and Saturday matinee, "What Women
Will Do," and Friday and Saturday
nights, "CHto."
This will probably be the last ap
pearance of Wilson Barrett in Wash
ington for soveral years. Ho goes to
the Pacific Coast this sprlntr, bringing
his American tour to a closo In Califor
nia about the first of July. Sir. Barrett
and his company will then return to
England, and in the cominc autumn
will open the new Olympic Theatre in
London, which is now being built for
him, and which will be his future
theatrical home. This announcement
would appear to set nt rest, for the
present at least, tho rumor that a
syndicate of wealthy New York gentle
men pioposed to construct a theatre In
the metropolis for Sir. Barrett, and that
the English actor would become an
American citlen,
All of theabovo mentioned plays will
bo mounted upon the National Theatre
stage with nil the, attention to scenic
effect and costumes that characterize
all of Wilson Barrett's performances.
Alliauch'a Grand Opera-Housa.
On Slonday next the Carleton Opera
Company will enter upon its second

choius Is very much superior to tho
choruses of light opera that usually
visit us, singing with telling effect in
tho situations of which Offenbach knew
so well how to make use. Thodiesses are
llchand nppropi late, and form no in
significant feature of tho general suc
cess. It is seldom that an opera Is
better mounted and sung than the
"Brigands" by tho Carleton Opcr.i
Company.
Tho genpinl admission for this en
gagement is twenty-live cents to all

permanent as It was radical. I feel sure
that without your skillful old my cousin
would havo been a deaf man all his

you have been equally successful, I
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
nt any time, and hope that your prac

guished success.
Yours, truly, T. E. Rokssle.
