Honors 10 General Lee.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee enjoys the triple dis
tinction OF being an ex-COnfederate,
Democrat and the holder of very i'm
portant and responsible office under a Re
publican administration. and that. TOO, al
the express request of the administration.
The present administration has, as rule.
been prompt TO accept the resignation or
Democratic incumbents OF paying oihces
and has at times nudged them when they
forgot TO resign. About all our foreign
ministers have been changed and most or
our consuls. General Lees resignation IS
on file. we believe. in Washington. and
has been there for months. Yet here we
are in November and General Lee is go
ing back 10 Havana with the seal OF office
sill in his possession. and with compli-
ments and kind expressions from the
President 10 boot. President Mckinley
has commended the COnsul-Generals per-
Torrance OF his official duties and tells
him that he has lots OF letters from rep
resentative men OF all sections commend
ing his retention in Office. This Is great
honor to confer on a Democrat, when so
many Republicans are willing and eager
to take his place. IL speaks well FOR
General Lees good sense, tact, courtesy
and practical fitness for dinicult post
Though skilful soldier, the General Is
no lingo. II IL gratifying to the South
to see a Lee treated thus with special
consideration and his good work appreci-
