Richmond Dispatch.
ave note with interest that President
Vim. l.. Wilson, of Washington and
Lee University, has begun series OF
lectures to the law classes of that in
stitution on "The History of Repre-
| sentative Government"
at would be wrong, of course, for
the president Of an institution Of ] arm
ing to leach the students current poll
tics, as that term is popularity applied,
but there is woful need in this country
for instructions in the cardinal princi-
Piles of republican government, and
there are few men in this country bet
ter able to give such instructions than
Mr.. Wilson.
"The educated citizen, the citizen
who thoroughly understands The true
principles of government, is, all things
else being equal, the best cit zen. The
mistakes which the people generally
make, being led by demagoguas, are
not errors of the heart, but Of the head,
and proceed from lack OF information.
In order that man may vote intelG-
gently upon questions of currency and
tariff and the like, it is NECESSARY that
he shall have been so well grounded in
the science Of &c vernment and political
economy as that he may understand
what bearing this or that policy will
have upon the general interests Of the
country.
"Ours is government Of the people,
and one mans vote counts ss much as
another. Every American citizen is
sovereign, and in order 10 Lave the best
government we must have an educated
citizenship, educated not simply to the
routine of school, bat in the science Of
government. Mr.. Wilson is doing q |
splendid work, and we would that there
were such instructions IN every school
in the land"

GRANT AND LEE.
Washington Post.

Washington Post
1t has been said that our civil war
was worth all the money it cost, since
it gave us q national currency. We
shall live to see the day when the
American people will bless the present
war, in that it has faced sectional
lines and given us homogeneous ma
ton. In the patriotic fermcnt which
events have set in motion, geographical
divisi MS and subdivisions will dieap-
pear, their boundaries will be blurred
and their significance forgotten.
Perhaps one of the most encouraging
indications in this regard will be the
realization of rumor which has already
caused unbounded So isfaction through
out the couDtry-the rumor that the
representatives OF the two great soldiers
of the OnIou and Con ederate causes,
respectively, will shortly be given c,m-
missions as major-g encrals of volunteers
and placed in command of important
armies. Colonel Fred d. Grant, is the
eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant, the
leader Of tho Union armies in the civil
war. General Fitzhugh Lee is the
nephew Of Robert E. Lee, who occu-
pied spending position in the
Confederacy. Each is the present head
of his family. Each has received q
military education and performed mill
tary service.
Both are patriots, both devoted to
the re-established Union, both eager TO
serve the Country in the existing emer-
gercy. 1t would be the browning act
of long 8 ries Of actful and happy
ach evemen's on Mr.. McKinley's part
if he were now to signalize the restora-
ton of fraternity throughout the land
by sending to the front in scme con-
spicuous way these two representatives
of the military chieftains Of the Union
aud Confederacy of thirty-five years
ago. The spectacle Of Grant and Lee,
no longer antag nists, but fighting side
by side for the country and the flag
which now they equally reverence and
love, would be worth more than all the
veal h Of Eldorado in the Eyes Of pa ri
ots,
We do not pretend TO know what the
Presidents plsns are in this connec ion.
We speak simply for those thoughtful
meh who love t cir country AMI pray
for its stl ensth and glory, and we say
that to have Grant and Lee made
he symb Is of national bro 'herhood
would be to us at this time OF common
peril and anxiety sign in the heavens
above our land.
