Lee in Cuba.

Home from Havana, General Lee is
receiving a continuous ovation wher-
ever be appears iu the United States.
The nation appears to have gone daft
about him. Before him the Uoited
States is PROSTATE 10 hero worship.
We are glad Of it.
What has General Lee done to win
all this tumultuous applause?
He has made no mistake. Sur
rouoded by a maddeoed and treacher-
Gus populace. 10 association With
government tbec hated his own, be
simply kept his bead.:' Being a cool
man. with plenty Of common sense, he
did not s.blow of bis MOUTH His
positions we're never extreme and al
ways tenable and so the adminlstra-
tion Of his ofice has 40 backdovns in
its history.
General Lee behaved as any man of
courage aud good judgment would
have behaved. His Office required the
display Of 10 brilliant talents. His
duties wore plain. HE Only fest was
to make DO blundera. Yet what he
did, because it vas no. extraordinary.
is not therefore to be lightly estimated.
Many ao American would have done
great harm in Cuba. Many brilliant
genius in Lees place woald have pre-
cipitated war long ago. General Lee
by the exercise of that discretion and
6rmness that characterize any we'll
rounded man has avoided entaugling
his government in difficulties and has
at the same time compelled respectful
observance of American rights in Ha-
vana aud Cuba.
1t is strange that the passionate peo-
pie tbirssing for var should praise Lee
and almost defy him General Lees
conduct has been anssgonistic to their
supreme aim General Lee has helped
to avert war. He has done nothing
whatever to free Cuba He has acted
within the law He has been strictly
diplomat aud SO long as diplomacy
exists between Spain aod the United
States, war will not break ous. For
noue of the questions 10 dispute be-
tween this country and Spain is Gen.
eral Lee responsible. He is rather re.
sponsible for peace than war.
Had the consul general at Havana
for the last few years been a fool, the
ends of the bysterical friends of Cuba
would be much nearer consummstion
