HONORING THE COMMAN

CHIEF.
Commander-in-C Chief Kountz has received
an ovation everywhere he has gone. Every
where there has been such display of feel
ing and sentiment as must swell every COM
rade's heart with gratified pride. Generals,
Senators, Representatives and prominent
men Of all kinds have been plentiful among
those who have been glad to do him honor.
This is not only tribute to him, but to the
noble Order of which he is the head, and to
the private soldiers of whom is so excellent
q representative.
These manifestations show how rapidly
the Order is gaining in public esteem. Every
prominent speaker bore testimony how of
late years he had been won over from indif-
ference or aversion to an enthusiastic sup
port of the GAR. by its admirable manage
ment, and his recognition of the fact that it
is the only organization that can unite all
soldiers in the truest bonds Of Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty.

SCHUYLER COLFAX.

The announcement of the death of Schuy-
Ter Colfax will recall wildly to mind some
of the exciting periods of our history. Mr..
Colfax, while not great man, was up to a
certain level quite able and exceedingly
useful. His address and character served
the purpose of the Republican party well
in its early history, and helped it achieve its
preliminary successes in the struggle for the
control of Congress. Up to the time he
was elected Vice President, Mr.. Colfax
seemed to be growing man, with unlimited
capacities for future development. Elec-
ton to the second place IN the Nation exer-
cised malign influence on him and seemed
to stop this growth. The Credit Mobilier
expose completed the process Mr. Colfax,
to say the most, was no more implicated
than other men who endured the exposure
of the investigation without serious loss OF
character or prestige. His course was not
dictated by Judgment. He evaded and shut
fled until he aroused a suspicion which put
him in a worse light than the commission
Of any actual crime would have done, and
he never recovered from its blighting effects
Those who knew him intimately did not
believe him guilty, and to the last he re-
tanned the respect and esteem of his old
friends in Indiana, and he could have re-
turned to Congress at any time that he
chose; but his career as national public
man was at an end, and he had not the cour-
age to come back to face his altered fortunes
in Washington.
