WELL DONE. NfR. PRESIDENT.

The announcement that Fitzhugh Lee
has been nominated by the President 10
be major general in the United States
army is welcome news to the people Of
the United States.
Fitz Lee is undoubtedly the man OF the
hour. He was born a soldier. he had the
best military training at school. and he
has had the experience Of a leader in
war. Without disparaging others, we
give it as our deliberate opinion that,
taking an things into consideration-his
military training his thorough knowledge
of the Cuban situation, his dash and
daring as a soldier and the implicit con-
fence that the soldiers of the country
have in him. he is better qualified than
any man in the United States tor leader
shi9 in this war.
Ills record as a Confederate general.
and his more recent record as consul
general az Havana, were such as to en-
title him to the most distinguished mill
tary honors that could be conferred upon
him. and even before hostiuues began
he was nominated 20 the position Of
major general by popular acclaim.
Yet this honor was not conferred upon
him without opposition. It had been
vaguely limited for some time past that
there was an influence in Washington at
work against him and the Washington
correspondent of tho Chicago Record
sition TO Lee came from silver men who
were afraid that ne would be a dangerous
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton in 1900.
with this element Lees record as a
Confederate officer and as consul gene
raj at Havana and his solderly qualifi-
cations generally counted for rothlng.
lie was not regarded as champion Of
white metal and IL these people could
have their way our gallant Fitz would
have been sacrificed for political con-
sideration All Of which goes TO show
how blind IN their partisanry are those
who worship at the silver shine.
1t is "a strange thing truly that men
viii drag politics into a contest of this
character. The country is at war with a
foreign power and IT needs in its Mill
tary service soldiers ana not politicians.
1t matters not one whit to us what be tho
politics Of the leader, provided he has all
the qualifications of a soldier.
We rejoice that Fitz Lee has been
made major general. We rejoice that
Joe" Wheeler has been made major
general. They are both eminontly quail
fed for their high rank and will give no
bic account OF themselves on the field OF
battle.
