THREE GREAT SOLDIERS GONE.

THREE GREAT SOLDIERS GONE.
During the past week death has claimed
three soldiers of great service in the war of
the rebellion.
The first of these was Gen. B. F. Butler.
Whatever dispute there may be as to what
he might or might not have done in the
many important commands he held, there
are three achievements of his Of which no
lover of the Union can speak of with any
thing but enthusiasm. The first was his reso-
lutte advance on Washington with the Massa-
ehusetts militia, and his capture of Balti-
more In the midst of the confusion of
council and bewildering cross purposes in
action which followed the firing on Fort
Sumter, Gen. Butler showed the only real
clearbeadedness that stands out distinctly
in those troublous times. He realized at
the outset that the best road to the National
Capital was the one taken by the British in
the calamitous descent upon the city in 1914
that was by the way of Annapolis. He
headed the Massachusetts, militia directly for
the sleepy old Capital ofMaryland, and before
the Secessionists were aware Of his purpose,
descended upon it in the night, and thus at
one step was in helping distance of Wash
ington, and bad isolated the turbulent city
II Del 4 hex +tar faIo
The Baltimore rebels had supposed that they
were going to be able to stop the Northern
troops at the Susquehanna, and then capture
Washington at their leisure. Buffers
shrewd move shattered both these schemes,
and filled the Maryland rebels with alarm
as to the fate of their own chief city. The
conservative old Gen. Scott was full of
imaginings as to the difficulty Of getting
possession of Baltimore, and was planning
great movements with heavy columns to
to the greatest caution, but one night Butler
marched into the city, unopposed, with a
| regiment or two, and when morning came
the Baltimore rebels were confounded, and
the Union men delighted, to see his cannon
frowning down upon the city from Federal
Hill. Thus at one blow the boundary of
| the Southern Confederacy was shrunken
back from the Susquehanna to the Potomac,
| and Maryland was anchored firmly in the
| Union.
Buffers second achievement was the
declaration of the slaves of the rebels as
"contraband of war" 1t is impossible at
this day to appreciate the excessive tender
ness of the Union men on the slavery ques-
ton at the beginning of the war. The
struggle had been largely waged by Eek
preston of principles" and enunciation OF
Opinions" The Union men were loud in
their protestations that they were fighting
for the Union solely, and had no intention
of disturbing the sacred institution of
slavery. Many Generals went so far as TO
industriously return to their masters the
slaves who escaped to their lines. Butler,
with lawyers shrewdness, formulated an
idea that gave logical exit from the awk-
ward situation. He decided that as the
slaves were employed in raising food for the
rebel armies, in building notifications, driv-
ing teams, and otherwise aiding the rebel
lion, they were contraband Of war, and
therefore legitimate objects Of capture.

Born January. 81, 1880. (:
Died Friday January 27, 1898. {:
Buried Friday January 80, 1898. I:

The hand of death has again laid
itself upon one of the Republics
distinguished sons, and has added
another name to the fearful mortu-
ary roll of men and women in high
stations during the period of the
present executive administration.
The nation only a few days since
was shocked by the sudden and un-
expected demise of the nineteenth
President of the United States.
Last week opened with the death Of
Associate Justice Lamar and closed
with the elimination of cthe autici-
pated public bereavement in the
death of James Gillespie Blaine a
Representative and Speaker of the
House of Representatives and a
Senator in the Congress of the Unit
ed States; twice chief member of
the Executive Cabinet; for over
quarter of a century the idol of the
people for Presidential honors and
once tie Republican party S standard
bearer.

JAMES G. BLAINE was native OF
Pennsylvania. He was resident
Of Maine. And yet neither State
can claim him as her own. He was
a man not to be confined by the
narrow limits of State boundaries.
lie was one of those Americans, OF
whom it can be said, he belonged to
the United States. He was loved
wherever the Stars and Stripes
waved. He was honored in all sec
tions. lie was true American, of
Revolutionary stock, a lover of
everything American. What great.
er eulogy could be paid him than
this-he was BLAINE, not of Penn
sylvania, not of Maine, but of
America!
In the death of JAMES GILLESPIE
BLAINE the greatest American
Statesman passes away. He came
into public life in a stormy period
He was an active participant in the
building up of the reunited country.
1t has been customary thing for
some of his political opponents to
ask, whenever his claims upon the
Presidency have been published /:
What has he done I? What great
measure has he ever produced ? It
would have been much nearer the
mark to ask: What has he not
done !? What great measure has he
not had hand in? 1t is true that
there is no distinctive piece of legis-
lation. like the Mckinley bill, the
Mills bill, the Morrison bill, which
is prefaced by his name, but even
with the Mckinley bill he had an
intimate connection, for he it was
who evolved the reciprocity idea and
opened new markets. He it was
who instigated the Pan American
Congress and bound the South
American countries to us with
closer ties of friendship. 1t was a
BLAINE Congress throughout. He
it was, even, who shaped finally the
important legislation which recon-
structed the Southern States lately
in rebellion and admitted them back
to full partnership. From the day
when he entered Congress until his
resignation from the HARRISON
Cabinet he never ceased TO have an
active interest in national affairs, or
to participate in them in one
way or another.
But BLAINE has gone from us.
His political ambitions and ques-
tions of statecraft are forever laid
aside. He had his praises and re-
wards, he had his criticisms. He
fought vigorously he was leader of
leaders, and was never known to
show the white feather. He made
enemies, of course. No aggressive
man is ever without them. They
brought accusations, but he OUT
lived SANDER as other public men
have done. 1t seems to be i'm
possible for an American statesman
to escape calumny, and BLAINE was
no exception. But he silenced all
enemies and lived to go to his grave
at length honored rs few men ever
have been. His career now becomes
history, and who shall write it /?
The history of JAMES G.. BLAINE |?
Why, it is the history of the nation
for the past thirty years,
