of how to wage war is taught at the high

session. as the best example Of modern
warfare known; the man whose person
atty can sway the actions of other soldiers

years after his death; the man whose
genius found such an overmasterins ex-
preston in actual results as did Stone
wall Jackson's may not he be famous as
was Caesar or Alexander, Aristotle or
Plato ci1arlemagne or Michael Angelo?
Fame is. after all, only the recognition
by the living of the genius Of the dead. It
is the tribute of the present to the leaders
of the past
Those men, who fought and loved and
sailed and ruled and made our world.
But if fame be based on pre-eminence in
some great calling, and If achievements
be recognized by the whole world, Stone
wall Jackson, the American, is more ia
nous than Gilbert Stuart or Asa Cray

Chicago platform reads: we are opposed
to the policy and principle of surrenoeitns
to the holders Of obligations OF the ohi.eu
States the option reserved by law 10 the
government of redeeming such ohllsauohs

If government at this time to redeem Its
obligations in silver would be a premium
upon gold, but why should it? The Bank
OF France exercises the right to redeem
all bank paper in either gold or silver
and vet France maintains parity between
gold and silver at ratio Of Is IL to l., and
retains in circulation more silver per
capita than we do in the United States
It is perfectly plain from this that Mr.
Bryan meant to say that if he should be
elected President he would exercise the
option of redeenaing these coin obligations
in either gold or silver. But i'll order to
remove all doubt he said N his speech at
Knoxville, Tenn, three days later: II

standard is a good thing, or that 1T must

VOTE FOR LAMB.

1t is whispered in political circles that
Capt. John Lamb is in danger of being
defeated for Congress from this district
by Edgar Allan. We cannot believe that
such a thing is possible. but it will not
do for Democrats to be too confident. 1t
is the easiest thing in the world, under
our system, for the Republican leaders
to organize their negro forces and march
out on election day. There is every reason
to believe that Allan is going to organize
the negro vote this year and make as
strong a poll as possible. He is a shreWd
politician, q, good organizer and he is
popular with the members Of his party in
this district. If Democrats are lukewarm
and do not take the trouble to go out
on election day and vote for Capt. Lamb,
it will do no good, after Allan has been
elected, for us to sit down and grieve over
it.
There are Democrats in the district
who are unwilling to vote for Mr.. Bryan
sfor the Presidency, and they talk about
going fishing on election day. We would
impress upon all such Democrats that
they cannot afford to withhold their sup
port from Capt. Lamb and let this dis
tr;ct be represented by Edgar Allan. No
district ever had a more faithful and in
dustrious representative than Capt. Lamb.
He has now been in Congress long enough
to have made friends and gained influence,
and he is in better position than ever to
serve the people Of this district. He ought
to be returned by a handsome majority
and we urge upon Democrats throughout
the district, regardless of their position
on the Presidential question. to vote for
Lamb. He richly deserves the support of
the Democrats of this district, and it
would be an everlasting reflection upon
the party if, through Indifference and neg
lect, he should be defeated. There is no
difficulty about his reelection if Demo-
Gratis will only turn out in a body and
vote for him, and Democrats should make
his majority so large as that there vii!
be no ground for contest.

Napoleon on Wellington.

The Century quotes from DR.
OMeara's unpublished "Talks With
Napoleon" at St Helena this judg
ment of the imprisoned emperor on the
general who finally ovcrthrew him:
II asked him if he thought Lord
Wellington merited the reputation he
had gained as a general. He said:
Certainly; think he does. He is a
very excellent general, and possessed
OF great tirmness and talent. but he
has not yet done as much as some 9th
ers. He has not conquered upon so
large a scale observed that he had
shown great judgment and caution lat.
terly, but that at first he had been too
precipitate in advancing into Spain. He
said that he had shown a great deal of
ability in the campaign of Spain. 1t is
impossible said he, for man not TO
commit some faults. We are all liable
TO it, and the general who commits the
fewest In number is the greatest gen
eral. and he has certainly committed as
few as any one then observed that
still he was scarcely to be equaled to
himself. Why. certainly said he. He
has not done so much as | have done.
He has not conquered kingdoms in the
manner | have done, but he is an ex-
cellent general. His operations have
not been upon so great scale"
