The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1881-06-09

An article on General Thomas publish
ed elsewhere in this issue will repay
peruaal. 1t is strange how prone to
error is popular estimation, and how
often honors far beyond their deserts are
showered upon some, while those who
are really worthy are forgotten and neg
lected. 1t was generally conceded by
military men at the close of the war that
Thomas was the greatest military genius
developed by that trying time. The
plans of his battles are models of the
highest kind in all military aca.damies.
But he was modest. He did his duty
not for the purpose of attracting the at
tention Of the country and to win the plau-
dts of the people, but because his soldier
spirit dictated it. He was not constantly
reminding the people of the debt they
owed him. He refused to be candidate
for the presidency and, although poor,
absolutely refused to accept sum of
money raised for him by subscription,
but directed it to be distributed among
the orphans and widows caused by the
war. He deserved the title Of The Silent
Man. He did his duty and did not have
the thing bruited around for 16 years as
a basis for demanding favors of the peo-
pie. Thomas was SO different to what
Grant is and has been, that both men
cannot be great. They are antipodes.

AFFAIRS in Ireland are hardly improv-
ing. The conflict with the police in
Clre county last week was scarcely in
ferior to the battle of Lexington which
aisherod in the war of the revolution
Continued trouble may be expected in
Ireland until some relief comes either
through the present land bill or one more
favorable to the tenant. The Irish peo-
pile should accept all concessions which
English sentiment will concede, and will
act foolishIy if they refuse what the gov
eminent is willing to grant, on the
ground that justice sustains all the de-
mands made. The wise course is to
agitate constantly and refuse nothing
which is an Improvement.

Ex SENATOR PLATr begins to talk out
loud. He states that MacYeagh is in
possession of documentary facts impli
eating those near to Blaine in the Star
route swindle. That warrants of arrest
We're issued but not served until Blaine
and Garfield were consulted, and that
they quashed the matter. He predicts
a stirring time when Blaine's and Gar
fields dishonest dealings ara exposed,
the incontestable proofs being in the
hands of ConkIing. The dismissal of
Blaine and the Impeachment of Garfield
are the two things which Platt sees in
store for the president and his premier.

A PRoF. SAWYER of Appleton took oc-
casion to exhibit his illiberal spirit on
Decoration Day. He is q clergyman
IN namc-as he has none of that charity
which should distinguish those who are
followers of Him who taught us to love
our enemies. Rev. Sawyer would have
resentment follow beyond the threshold
of the grave and ghoul-like feast upon the
dead. He has no spark of magnanimity
III his composition; no feeling of pity
or manly sorrow for those who attested
their loyalty TO a cause by the sacrifice
OF their lives. No flowers, he protested,
should deck rebels grave unless over
his dead body. He was soldier; he is
q bigot. The notoriety which person
acquires by such utterances is such as
no true man will covet.
The southern soldier fought for a prin-
ciple which could only be settled in a
court where arguments are made through
the mouths of cannons. The mere me-
chanical strewing Of flowers is a formal
ceremony unaceompanied by sorrow or
gratitude. 1t is no more indicative of
sorrow or of remembrance of services
than IS the exploding of fire crackers on
another national holiday, premonition
OF patriotism.
The clergyman who can see aught to
censure in dropping a flower on the
mound where slumbers one who suffered
and died, mourned, perhaps, by wife
and children, might excite wonder for
the tenacity of his hatred, but he will
arouse indignation for his want of feeling.
'.Ihe grave should cover every defect,
exdngulsh every resentment and he
must be an arrant coward who feared his
enemy wheh living, who will cherish
enmity against him wher dead.
The rebel soldier sleeps unconscious
o. little tokens of reconciliation or words
OF reproach. They are nothing to him.
Sawyer cannot disturb his sleep or add
70 the sorrows that are past. His anger
Is as powerless to harm, as the flowers
which he denies are TO soothe. 1t is the
manifestation Of the petty spirit of vim
dlctlveneas that causes anger il the living
for an insult offered the dead. The sor-
row which clusters around the grave
makesita hallowedspot, sacred to affection
and to all those holier impulees which
beautify the soul. No bigot should be
allowed to break down those barriers
which shield the dead from the malice
OF the living. Sawyer should be placed
In an asylum for fools.
