A Harsh Word

A Massachusetts colonel made
startling remark a few days ago. y
Joint legislative committee in Boston
was giving a hearing to certain petit
TONERS who asked for the erection by
the state of a statue of Major General
Hooker on the state-house grounds.
Colonel Curtis opposed the petitioners.
He insisted that Hooker was not
worthy of a statue. he denounced the
general as a deserter for having re-
signed his command on the eve of he
battle of Gettysburg.
Joe" Hooker had a career which
was not faultless by any means, yet
many of those who are familiar with II
will feel that to call him a deserter is
10 use an unduly harsh epithet. Hook
er was a graduate of West Poin.; le
served with credit in the Mexican war.
About 1851, he resigned from the amy
to try his fortunes in California and,
according to all accounts, fortune did
not come his way. When the civil war
broke out he received a good command
and saw plenty Of service. lie vas at

Recently there has fallen ander our
eve the letter written at this iuncture
by President Lincoln. II was made
public years ago; 1t is in illustration of
MIR. Lincoln's characteristic methods.
He knew wherein Hooker vas weak.
But he placed him at the head CT the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY A, 1896.
H Has Sail II.

Everybody will read General Harri- |
sons letter-Reed, Mckinley. Morton
and the noble army of boosters will try
hard to penetrate the meaning of what
may be running between the lines.
Probably the ex-president would not
have gone on record thus early but for
last weeks upturning In the Indiana
republican state committee. The man
20 whom General Harrison's letter is
addressed is the new chairman of the
committed He succeeded a pronounc-
ed Harrison man. He is said to be
not particularly warm for the General;
last week it was given out as his own
expression that he personally was
friendly enough, but that If Harrison
proposed to be a candidate he must
announce the fact without delay.
General Harrison has been toying
with the party a good while. He final
ly got himself into a position which
permitted him to magnify his own i'm
portance. By inference the country was
left to believe that, If Harrison was to
have the nomination, the party must
bring 1t to him and lay II at his feet
In other words, General Harrison's be-
lief was that, while quietly setting his
stakes, his best play was to impress the
public with the idea that really he does
not want to be a candidate but that,
of course, he would feel it duty to
respond to his party's call. Not many
men are strong enough or shrewd
enough TO sustain this role to a sue
cessful finish.
1t transpires that the political re-
organization in Indiana makes it nee
essary for General Harrison to make
declaration which doubtless he would
rather have withheld While the Gen
eral is entitled to credit for candor in
what he writes, nevertheless the large
majority of citizens who read his letter
will conclude that. glad enough he
would be TO run but that having test
ed the field pretty thoroughly he has
about concluded that this isn't Har-
son year. This will be the popular
conclusion because politics is selnshly
personal business; il is not a particu-
larly pious occupation. and there need
be no higher motives imputed to the
man who Graves the office of president
than TO the man who chases the minor
Offices.
While there may be a disposition TO
assume that there is evasion i'm Gen
eral Harrison's letter. the public will
probably assume that his words are
clear enough when ne says: Il cannot
consent that my name be presented 10
or used IN the St Louis convention"
That IS satisfactory The woods are
fun % men who want 10 run and who
are willing 70 admit II. National con-
ditions are such that the nomination
for the presidency need not be thrust
upon anybody.
And So we shall now see three
cornered fight 1t will be very earnest
II will prove 10 be mighty expensive
with Harrison eliminated-as doubt
less he is-the ready conclusion will bt
that the three conspicuous candidates
Morton, Reed and McKinley-wiu ex
haust themselves. and there viii b,

UNSPoKEN WORDS.

The kindly words that rise within the
heart,
And thrill it with their sympathetic
tone,
But die ere spoken. fail to play their part.
And claim a merit that is not their
own.
The kindly word unspoken is a sin
A sin that wraps itself in purest guise.
And tells the heart that, doubling looks
That not in speech, but thought. the
virtue lies.
But it's not so; another heart may thirst
For that kind word as Hagar in the
