A Tribute To General Lee.

1t is not conceivable that any man,
North, South, East or West, through
out the tremendous length and
breadth of the United States, would
frown upon or even fail to sympa-
thize with a movement to celebrate the
memory of Robert +. Lee. There
was man who contained within
himself every element of noble hero
ism. Pure minded, generous, chiv-
slric, brave and gentle, he was vet
the man of strenuous action, the SOL
dler, commander and the war god.
Ii he ever hsrbored mean thought
or committed mean act, his most
industrious critic has failed to men
tion it. If he was ever other than
the gentleman, the Christian, and the
ideal soldier. the closest students of
his record do not know it to this dav.
II he had fault. it was that of self
sbnegation. If had weakness, it
was that of mercy and compassion.
His life makes stainless and a
splendid page in history. He showed
the world that pussant soldier
could be pitiful and kind as any an
gel. He showed the world that a
very lord of battle could be innocent
aud stainless in his private life. If
I'm modern times there has been de-
veloped the prototype of Tennison's
Sir Galahad, We find il the character
and career of Lee. He met Grants
magnificent strategy and imperious
attack with a genius aud a fortitude
which provoked the admiration of
all Christendom. He met Grants
splendid magnamitv at Appomattox
with an eager heroism and patient
resignation beyond all words. He
should have monument if nobility
of character and splendor of courage
and magnificence of devotion are en-
titled to recognition by brave men.
1t should be the pride of every one
to aid in so high cause Washing
ton Post.

HE NICARAGUA CANAL.-A bill
has been favorably reported to the
House providing for the construction
of the canal by the United States and
appropriating $I4O,OOO,OOO for this
purpose. BY the terms of this bill
the President is authorized to acquire
from Costa Rica and Nicaragua, on
behalf of the United States, control
of such territory belonging to these
countries as may be necessary to con
struct and defend canal of the
depth and capacity required. The
Senate Committee on InterOceanic
Canals has ordered favorable report
on the bill, and as the canal project
is said to lie approved by majority
of the members of both houses of
Congress the enactment of legislation
is expected If Great Britain sould
insist upon a strict enforcement of
the terms of the Bulwer- CLAYTON
treaty it might be difficult for the
United States to secure control of the
canal. 1t seems to be the general
impression, however, that Great Bri-
tain will not stand upon the letter of
the treaty. A poll of the members
of Congress indicates an overwhelm-
ing majority favoring the immediate
passage of the Nicaragua Canal bill.

Among the bills now b,

AuionS the Dllls now being con-
sidered by the Legislature
is one offered by Senator
LeCato, proposing to exclude from
voting those persons "who have failed
to pay to the State before the day of
the election the capitation tax re-
quired by law for the preceding
year." Since it is shown that there
is such deficiency in capitation taxes
the necessity for this amendment is
apparent. Other States have a pro-
vision of this character, and it helps
to swell their revenues. Our organic
law contained at one time a provision
of this character, but it was repealed
because the Malone party did not
like it and because candidates for
office found their election expenses
quite heavy.

Latest from South Africa

says 1t is reported "from an excellent
source" that Gen Lord Douglass
Dundonsld has entered the town of
Ladysmith with his flying column of
1000 csvalrymen, which has been
making dash to the north of the
main British position.
Other dispatches indicate that Gen.
Sir Charles Warren, who, with about
10000 troops, is conducting the main
attack on the Beers, is making very
slow progress" as one cablegrsm puts
it, and that the Beers compel him to
fight hard for every inch. He has
not vet reached the main Boer posi-
ton. The report about Lord Dun
donald will require confirmation be-
fore being accepted as true.
Should Dundonsld enter the be-
sieged town with 1000 men he would
probably be bottled up, like the other
$500 British troops there. 1t seems
likely that only desperate fighting
could break the circle of Boer in
trenchments around the town by a
British force seeking either to enter
or leave.
AS to the main battle, which began
Saturday about % miles southwest of
Lsdysmith, no substantial progress
in the British attack is reported.
General Butler sent a csblegram to
the London War Office at 6 Il. NJ.
Monday giving a partial list of losses
In one of Warren's brigades. He
does not say word as to any fight
ing on Monday. This is regarded in
some quarters in London as an unfa-
vorable sign. When General Butler
has favorable news to report, exper-
fence has shown, he usually cables it.
The present Boer position, as indi
Gated by the dispatches, is about 10
miles long, extending south west of
Ladysmith, so as to block the BIRTHS b
advance. At no place have the Brit
ish, so far as known, forced their way
nearer to Ladysmith than 16 miles,
being held off by the Boer intrench-
ments.
The Beers are following their u.s.
ual matchmaking resistance and
then retreating in good order to pre-
paired positions. As they are work
ing from the interior of their lines.
they may be able to bring strong for
ces to defend their main position.
General Warren is supposed to
have about 10000 men and 80 guns.
LyttIeon, it is indicated, has about
5000 men and Is guns. General
Buffers total force is estimated at
not less than $4,000. The strength
of the Beers is unknown.
The last act of the battle will
doubtless be an assault in force on
the main Boer position. This may
have occurred already. London, in
breathless suspense, awaits the result.
The New York Sun publishes re-
port that the Beers have an Irish
brigade of more than $500, the ma
jority of whom are from CALIFORNIA
and the west, and with quite sprink-
ling from the old country and the
Cape.
