ceased to be a soldier, and from that
time forth sought che betterment of the
reunited country. Although educated
at West Point, he was man of peace,
but when ctlled upon to suppress what
he considG~nd was wrong, did so with a
high senseSt patriotic duty.
Mr.. Gresham said the failure of the
southern people was not due to any lack
of courage or persistence or leadership
in the field. but it was the inevitable re.
suit of their having undertaken an i'm
possible task.
Grant had extraordinary abilities, and
while he never dwelt upon, or thought
about their greatness, or measured or
compared them with the abb lities of
others, he knew just what they were,
their extent and limitations what might
I've accomplished by them, and what was
beyond their reach. AS he became con-
scious of his powers he relied with un-
shaken confidence upon his own judg-
ment He held few if any councils Of
war.
He was equal to any command or
emergency. But there was no affecta-
ton of dash or brilliancy about his
movements Obstacles which seemed
insurmountable to others only served to
inspire him with determination to over
come them. He never lost the fruits of
victory through inactivity. No sue
cess ever turned his head.
He vigorously subordinated all private
sentiments and feelings to the good of
the cause that he served. He was in
capable of envy or jealousy, and he
never appropriated credit that was due
to others. He was silent, thoughtful,
patient and sincere. He commanded
himself as successfully as he command
ed armies, and where he led, all felt
safe against the consequences of in
capacity or rashness.
He did not believe that because mill
tary force had saved the Union it was a
proper instrument of government in
time of peace. In his last days, while
bearing with serenity and fortitude the
tortures of an incurable disease, on
Mount McCregor, he gave his life
final retrospect, and it was the reunion
of the warning sections under the old
flag that gave him the greatest satisfae-
ton, and enabled him to close his eyes
for the sleep OF death with the comfort
ing reflection that his work had been
well done and would outlive him.

On Friday evening, shortly after Mr..
Parnell had been induced to retire to his
bed, his condition became so grave that
Mrs. Parnell and the attending physi-
clan decided it advisable to at once sum
mon additional medical advice.
Two other physicians were at once
called in, notwithstanding their efforts
for Mr.. Parnell hecontinued to grow
vious that the Irish leader was gradual
ly sinking, and that death was question
of but few days, perhaps hours. Since

Parnell, who has been completely de
voted to her husband, refusing to leave
his bedside for even an hours rest, Is
her physicians are somewhat apprehen-
sive as to her condition.
Several hours before his death he be-
came unconscious, and 80 remained
until the end
Mrs. Parnell and the physicians were
the only ones at the bedside when the
dying man passed away. Mrs. Parnell

Justin Mccarthy Talks.
In an interview Mr.. Justin McC Carthy
expressed himself as deeply affected by
the death of Parnell. When he last saw
him, Sept. II, and taxed over registra-
ton matters, he looked tired, but
seemed in good spirits and hopeful.
Mr. Mccarthy hoped that those who
had followed the dead leader would re-

Men like Grant who have sprung Irom
the people, with strong and resolute
character, unspoiled by luxury, clear
minded and level-headed, able to see
men and things as they really are, unde-
ceived by outward show and convention
ality, are worth more to our nation than
all its mere cunning, self-seeking poll
ticians, its political theorists. or its
plutocrats. In war and peace these
qualities lie at the foundation of all true
character. A nation not only needs such
men but they are indispensable to it.
In times of peril it may perish without
them.
The vast majority Of the people are
patriotic and sound to the core. In
them is our main stay and chief de-
pendence. Onr confidence in their
steady and unfaltering love of country,
which is indifferent about any show of
itself, and speaks only in its acts, will
never be misplaced. 1t was this sort of
patriotism that was personified in Grant.
At the conclusion of the exercises the
participants in the parade reformed and
marched back to the city.
Wednesday night the twenty-third
annual reunion of the Society of the
Army of the Tennessee opened with inn
posing exercises at the Auditorium.
The Monuments.
The splendid monument is the handi-
work of Louis I. Rebisso, the Cincin-
natl sculptor. A few days after the
death of General Grant a number Of
prominent citizens met at the Palmer
House at the invitation of Potter Palmer
to discuss the advisability of erecting a
statue to the honor Of the ex-president.
Ten thousand dollars were subscribed on
the spot and the unveiling is the culmin.
alton of that meeting. Money flowed in
freely IN large and small amounts, the
newspapers of the city themselves rails
ing over $50, 1000. The total cost of the
monument has been in the neighborhood
of $200,000
1t Is an equestrian statue, the largest
bronze ever cast in America. The body
of the horse is five feet high, twelve feet
long and three feet in breath. Over the
body is heavy saddle, the army saddle
cloth with stars in the corners, while
two holsters for the pistols are on each
side and a tightly rolled blanket is just
behind the saddle The general is sitting
upright, his slouch hat well forward on
his head, and his feet encased in army
boots with heavy spurs are fast in the
stirrups. The bronze rests upon q stone
pedestal with elevated driveway, arched
passage, vestibule and stairway.

ticer, was educated at Cambridge univer-

The People Startled and Refused to BE-
Iieve It--A Panic In Cork.
DUBLIN, Oct. 8.-No event of the last
half century has startled the people of
this city as did the announcement of the
death of Mr.. Parnell at Brighton.
The bulletin boards conveyed the un-
expected tidings in letters foot long to
the workmen hurrying to their various
occupations.
At the railway stations the news was
posted in conspicuous places to catch
the eyes of the incoming throngs from
the suburban towns.
In front of the postoffice, the rotunda,
Nelson's monument, and a score of
prominent places along the great
thoroughfare, Sackville street, an
nouncements of the death of the Irish
leader confronted the profoundly effect
ed crowds who gazed upon them. Men.
women, and children alike, seemed to be
stunned at the words which stared them
in the face.
1t was noticeable that no expression of
political feeling was heard among the
groops who everywhere gathered to dis
cuss the death of the Irish chieftain.
The office of The Freeman's Jour
nal, and that of every other newspaper
in the city, have swarmed with people
of all classes and conditions, eagerly
looking for some particulars of the TAX
ing off of the great leader.
Caused Panic In Cork.
Dispatches from Cork say the news Of
the death Of Mr.. Parnell has caused a
panic in that city. So absolutely unex-
pected was the announcement that at
first it was received as canard, but the
confirmation of its truth came quickly
crowding upon its heels. The personal
and political friends Of the dead man
are overwhelmed with grief, and those
who loudly and hotly opposed him in
life maintain dignified and respectful
silence. The death has come so sudden
ly upon the people of Cork that as yet
nothing has been done there in the way
of formal action in the matter. Mean
time the wires between Cork and Dublin
and the cable between Ireland and En-
gland are loaded with dispatches of in
quiry and sympathy.

SHANGHAI, Nov. Is. The special cores
pendent of the United Press, who was sent
to China with instructions to investigate
the matters which have been causing so
much uneasiness in diplomatic circles
throughout Europe and the United States,
Is now in this city and from high author
ity has been placed in possession of import
ant facts.
The United States cruiser Charleston has
left these waters for Honolulu, capital OF
the kingdom Of Hawaii, and it is asserted
here in quarters likely to know the truth or
falsity of u report Of this nature, that her
commander, George c. Remey, has received
instruction from tho United States govern
mept to seize the Hawaiian islands should
certain eventualties occ r.
In addition, the United Press correspon-
dent has reason to believe that these facts
have been cabled to the British foreign Of
flee and that there has been, in consequence,
an exchange of dispatches between the Brit
ish admiralty and the admiral in command
of the British feet in Chinese waters.
Ostensibly, the mission of the Charleston
is simply to protect American interests
there and to afford a refuge for American
citizens on those islands should the political
upheaval expected there take the form
which some people anticipate it may take.
1t is recognized by ali except perhaps the
representatives of two powers that the
Hawaiian islands are naturally under the
wing if not under the protection of the
United States and that tho United States is
the country to police if not to annex that
somewhat disturbed country under certain
