Facts About Great Generals.

In the recent issue of THE MIRROR,

caption. The writer, who signs him

whom American writer's refer to as
great generals. then asks what great
feats these men ever performed. 1t ap-
pears from the arguments used by the
writer. to show that these men were not
great generals. that his ideas of general
ship are not very clear. The writer
says Washington did not reflect any
great credit on his country when he re-
treated from Long Island and gave up
his intrenchments without firing a sim
gle gun at the enemy: then goes on to
show how Grant blundered at Pittsburg
Landing by sacrificing SO many of his
men. Here is great inconsistency. |
am not SO converSant with Grants mill
tary career that can criticise his ac-
tions, but | would like to ask if Wash
ington would have showed much fore
sight by remaining on Long Island and
giving the enemy time to hem him in
completely? Had he remained in his
position. the capture of himself and
army would have been inevitable: and
the rebellion would have well nigh been
nipped in the bud 1t must be borne in
mind that Washington, at the head of
the Continental army, was placed in
peculiar pOsitiOn-One that called for
not only ability as leader and general.
but largeness of soul and sterling quail
ties. If we would form correct judg-
ment of WashingtOn's merits as a gen
eral we must take into consideration
many other matters besides his mere
feats of arms: for they in themselves do
not show him to have possessed any
extraordinary abilities as a general.
Washington was placed in position
differing very much from that of either
of the generals referred to by the writer.
Under the circumstances in which
Washington found himself, he showed
the greatest of foresight, and the sound
est Of Judgment in the policy he adopt
ed. Any one who has read the history
OF the Rebellion cannot have failed to
note how easily the Continental army
was disheartened, and how prone the
soldiers were to lose hope on the least
diScOuraging circumstances. Therefore.
Washington showed his fitness for the
command he held by never risking an
engagement where there was not
reasonable chance of victory. 1t was
his policy to gain the most by the least
hazard to his army. He was fighting
for the liberty of his country, should he
have risked this to general engage
ment? Did he not show great general
ship in his management of the Conti-
mental army? The contrast that is

Is Prohibition q Failure?

A sensational preacher in Kansas,
preached sermon against prohibition,
and declares it to be failure since it
could not be enforced and he urged it's
repeal. We are sorry that any preacher
in this day can take such a position,
and our regret grows as we learn that
he is Methodist. We know that pro-
hibition is not a failure, in Kansas Or
anywhere else. 1t was our privilege at
one time to live in community for
short period, where local option pre-
vailed, and though there were occasion
al violations of the law, the character
of the community was radically changed
and improved under its beneficent in
fluence. The Jail had less prisoners,
the court had far less criminal business,
taxes were reduced, and drunkenness,
profanity and crime almost entirely
abolished. Whatever lessons the Whis-
ky traffic lessons all evil, and promotes
every good thing. A. A. W.

Il has generally been supposed that
there existed . sufficient excess Of women
In New England and the east to more
than make up for the deficiency in the
newly settled states and territories Of the
west. This confidence has been rudely
shattered by a recent census bulletin
which gives the relative number Of males
and females in the United States in 1870,
1850 and 1890. From this bulletin Il ap-
pears that the proportion Of females 10
males has been decreasing since 1870. In
1850 there were l,257 females to each
10000 males than in 1870, and in 1890
there were 1894 fewer to each 100, 900
than In 1880. The last census has dis
closed the startling fact that, while there
are 81 ,O67, 900 males in the United States,
the females number only 1854, 80. In
other words, u everybody married there
would be Of necessity 4,27O bachelors out
Of every 10000 men.
