CONVENTION is COMING.
Understood Thing Thatit Will Meet in Rich
mond In 1907.

That the Episcopal Convention will hold
its session of 1901 in this city appears TO
be an undoubted thing. The Rev. w. VI.
Clark has Just rturued home from San
francisco, where he attended the recent
meeting of the convention, and he de-
ciares that the signs are encouraging.
While in San Francisco he talked
with the bishops and lay deputies
about the matter and both are enthusiast
tically in favor of concentrating the tri-
centenary of the settlement of James
town by meeting here. Unless the next
convention have a new set of lay deputies.
who are opposed to the scheme, which
is highly unlikely, the convention is Ger

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

In the current issue of the Atlantic
Monthly is an article entitled ..EuroDe

a young English journalist which de-
serves the serious consideration Of the
american people. Mr.. Brooks address
es himself to the Monroe Doctrine,
which, by the way, is of English ORR
gin, and says that his own country
has its best interests rather with the
upLolding Of that doctrine and that
England would be best pleased. on Tie

One of the best stories General Archie

encouragement OF Kansas, Mr.. Will

east. He had no railroad passes east OF
the Mississippi river. SO he borrowed an
annual over an Illinois road from his old
friend, Jake Smith. t happened during
the first stretch through Illinois that the
conductor of the train on which the Kan
sas man rode was q. former schoolmate OF
his. The conductor recognized Williams,
but Williams DIDN'T recognize the conduc-
tor. and about this fact the fun Of the
story hangs.

LEE AND KRUGER.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams delivered
an address on Wednesday last before
the American Antiquarian Society at
Springfield. Mass, in which he de-
sci.ibed the part taken by Gen. Robert
T. Lee in preventing guerrilla war
fare after the surrender at Appomat-
toX.
We have not had the pleasure of
reading Mr.. Adams address, but we
are assured by the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser that lit was an impress
Siye tribute no the character and in
sight Of Dee, who by one word could
have prolonged the war and spent
thousands of lives in vain. even after
the surrender Of the Army Of North
ern Virginia. adding that tliirty-siS
years ago we escaped that calamity
because of the wisdom and humane
feeling of the Confederate comman-
der
Our New York contemporary further
says that Mr.. Adams refused to make
any definite application of the lesson
taught by Lees course 10 South Afri-
ca, but thinks he might well have done
so. There has not been a day with
in the last six MONTHS it proceeds,
when the aged Boer eS-President had
not as much knowledge of the hope

after APPROXIMATIONS The difference
between the two situations as regards
guerrilla warfare is simply the differ
ence between Lee and Kruger. Both
had a personal power over their fell
lows which superseded the authority
of all others. The Confederates in the
last stages OF the war were held to-
tgether by their reverence for Lee, and
sc there has not been the same feeling
for Kruger, he ut least had the power

humanity have not predominateu in
his equipment as a ruler of his people"
This is Il noble tribute to General
Lee from Il Northern Republican news
paper, and it is particularly inESesting
TO The Times, as we have NEE than
once in these columns instituted the
came comparison and made much the
same comment that is made by the
Commercial Advertiser. Gen. Lee was
always grand, but he was grandest ut
AppomattoX. 1t was there that the
true nobility of that noble man was
best illustrated. He knew that he
could prolong the war; he knew that
his men would follow him as long rs
breath was left in the body. But when
Gen. Lee discovered that the cause
was hopeless lie was unwilling that
another one Of his brave men should
sacrifice his life-nay, he was unwilling
that another drop Of blood should be
shed on either side. Gen. Lee was not
lighting for his own personal fame and
glory. Nor was he fighting for re-
yenge, but only for !; great principle
in which he believed. He was fighting
for the, Confederate cause, and when
lie saw that cause was lost he stopped
lighting. 1t is 4 brave man indeed who
has the courage to surrender when The
time for surrender has come although
able to Drolong the struggle indefinite
