In the profession of the law he had

poets he was familarly acquainted.
There was no disputed or obscure
passage in any of the great plays

ROBERT e. LEE.

1t ought not to escape notice that
Gen. Robert E. Lee is not entitled
to the defense so often made for
him, that in joining the disnnion
movement he followed the voice
OF his State. Gen. Lee resigned his
position in the Army of the Union
and assumed command of the Con-
federate troops long before Virginia
voted upon the ordinance of seces-
sion. He gave the influence of his
eminent name to the schemes OF
those who by every agency were
determined to hurl Virginia into
secession. The fact that Gen. Lee
had assumed command of the troops
in Virginia was a powerful in
centive with many TO vote against
the Union.

No work on the political affairs of
the United States government. with

"Thirty Years in the United States

sequence as Mr.. James u. Blaine's
''Twenty Years in Congress. Al.
though the book is published at
Norwich, Conn, the mechanical
work upon it has been done in Bos-
ton. The first completed copy was
ready yesterday. The first volume
covers the two decades from 1861 to
1881, and comprises 648 pages and
thirty one steel portraits. 1t is
written in a clear, vigorous style,
has much of the dignity of history.
and contains many sketches of
prominent men of the period which
it covers. These personal reminis-
cences are perhaps the most inter
esting features. of the work. The
first chapters are devoted to a re-
view of the events from the organi-
zation of the government which led
to the political revolution of 1860.

THEIOHN BROWN RAID.

Ih telling the story of the John
Brown raid at Harper's Ferry, Mr..
Blaine says; brown was man of
singular courage, perseverance and
zeal, but was entirely misguided.
He had conceived the utterly I'M
practicable scheme of liberating the
slaves of the South by calling upon
them TO rise in arms. He had shown
wonderful nerve in the Kansas
struggle, and had been terror TO
the Shareholders on the Missouri
border. He had no sense of fear.
Gov. Wise stated that during the
time Brown held the arsenal one of
his sons lay dead beside him, but
still he commanded his men amid
a shower of bullets from the attack
ing force. While of sound mind
on most subjects, Brown had evil

the one topic OF slavery"

A AGENEROUs TRIBUTE TO GRANT.

A GENEROUS TRIBUTE TO GRANT.
Gen. Grants active service in the
field closed with the surrender of
Lee. All the commanders OF the
Confederate forces followed the ex-
ample OF their general-in-chief, and
before the end of the month the
armed enemies of the Union had
practically ceased to exist. The
fame of Gen. Grant was full. He
had entered the service with no
factiOus advantage, and his promo
tion, from the first to the last, had
been on merit alOne-WithOut the
aid of political influence, without
the interpositiOn of personal friends.
Criticism of military skill is but idle
chatter i'm the face of an unbroken
career of victory. Gen. Grants
campaigns were varied in their re-
quirements, and, but for the fertili-
ty of his resources and his unbend-
ing will, might often have ended in.
disaster. Courage is as contagious
as fear, and Gen. Grant possessed in
the highest degree that faculty
which is essential to all great COM /
manders-the faculty of imparting
throughout the rank and file of his
army the same determination to-
win with which he was himself all
ways inspired.
One peculiarity of Gen. Grants
military career was his constant
readiness to fight. He wished for
no long periods of preparation, lost
no opportunity which promtness
could turn to advantage. He al
ways accepted, without cavil or
question, the position to which he
might be assigned. He never trOub-
led the War Department with re-
quests or complaints, and when
Injustice was inflicted upon him,
he submitted silently, and did
soldiers duty. Few men in any
service would have acquiesced so
quietly as did Gen. Grant, when at
the close of the remarkable cam
paign beginning at Fort Henry and
ending at Shiloh, he found himself
superseded by Gen. Halleck. and
was assigned to a subordinate COM
mand in an army whose glory was
inseperably associated with his own
name. Self-cOntrol is the first re-
quisits for him who aims to control
others. In that indispensable form
of mental discipline Gen. Grant ex-
hibited perfection.
When he was appointed lieuten-
ant-general and placed in command
of all the armies of the Union, he
exercised military control over a
greater number of men than has any
general since the invention Of fire.
arms. In the campaigns of 1864
and 1865, the armies of the Union
contained in the aggregate not less
than ,OOO, 900 men. The movements
of all the vast forcess were kept in
harmony by his comprehensive
mind, and. in the grand consumma-
tion which insured the Union and
liberty, his name became insepara-

IT will not be surprising if the

course Of consideration rs To repeal
at least considerable portion of the
remaining internal revenue tax,
and with ii the simplificatiOn OF the
existing machinery for collection
and espionage. Public opinion,
and with 1T public sentiment, Is
widespread, that, along with steps
10 tariff reform, should go some fur
ther steps toward getting rid OF this
most undemocratic and vicious ma
chinery and tax system. With the
tax on tobacco repealed in all its
branches and parts, the machinery
for prevention of fraud, Illicit dis
tilling, and evasiOns in the liquor
producing business could be sinpli-
fed and economized to the savings
of at least two or three millions of
dollars. Liquor production is con-
fined to comparatively few districts
and the machinery for attending to
to this, and for the enforcement OF
the laws as TO retailers, could be
made very simple without impair
