The Greatest captain.i,,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have just
read an editorial in the Nashville Chris
tan Advocate the official organ of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South en-
titled "The Matter of Patriotism" The
editor, after speaking of the patriotism
of Gen. Robert E. Lee as being as genu-
inc as was that of Washington and Pat
rick Henry, says: Let the verdict that
he was the greatest captain produced by
the greatest modern war serve to offset in
some degree the fact that he had to face
defeat"
Far be it from me to detract an iota
from the recognized ability of Gen. Lee
as commander of armies and a heroic
fighter. He possessed natural military
genius of a rare quality, which was great
ly enhanced and rendered practical by
the superior military education given him
without any financial cost to him by the
Government which he afterward fought
so heroically to destroy.
But it is against the editors statement
that it is the verdict that he was the
greatest captain produced by the great
est modern war;" that l enter my protest.
The verdict of history and of the best
military critics of the world is that he was
not greater nor even as great captain
as was Gen. U. s. Grant.
Lee was an officer in the United States
Army when the civil war began. Grant
was only humble tanner in Galena, ILL.,,
although he had had military course at
West Point and had seen service in the
Mexican War.
Lee. on turning against the Government
that had educated him, and accepting
command in the Confederate army. had
from the first and all through the bloody
struggle, the complete confidence of that
Government and the hearty, unanimous
support of the leading officers of that
army.
Grant, after persistent effort, secured
the command of an Illinois regiment and
all through. and up till after the battle
Of Shiloh, despite his desperate, successful
fighting. was seriously handicapped and
crippled in his efforts by some jealous or
incompetent officers. who were inferior to
him in command. He literally fought his
way into recognition, and only upon the
record of his many great victories was he
finally given command of all the armies
of the United States. Lee had great rec
ognitfon, and commanding standing be-
fore ever he had fought battle or gained
a victory. His pedigree gave him prom
inence.
Every time Gen. Lee took the offensive
he was defeated-especially at Antietam
and Gettysburg.
Grant was always on the offensive, and
he was never defeated-never really lost
4 battle.
All the above are well-known facts in
the career of these two great American
Generals; and in the face of them the YER
dict of the world is that Gen. Grant. and
not Gen. Lee. was ''the greatest captain
produced by the greatest modern war;

which he desired to make in the Constitu-
ton.
The convention met on the 7th of July,
1864, and after considerable debate and
controversy, the action of the convention
not being satisfactory to him, on the 18th
of August, 1864, he prorogued the cOnven-
ton and declared the existing Constitu-
ton to be abrogated.
On the Goth of August. 1864. he promul-
gated a new Constitution. on his own au-
thority. which was submitted to without
resistance and which continued in force
for % years. This Constitution made
fewer changes than was expected. The
clause guaranteeing elections by ballot was
stricken ont. the office of kuhina nui was
abolished, and other provisions made for
a regency in case Of minority of the royal
heirs or in the absence of the King.
Some other changes were made in the
number of representatives and mobiles.
Voters were required to own a certain
amount of real property, and, if born since
1910, to know how to read and write.
During the existence of the Constitu-
ton of 1864, Government offices were
freely bestowed upon members of the
Legislature. Consequently, the legislative
bodies were soon under the direct influence
of the crown.
THE DISSATISFIED PEOPLE
There was great deal of discomfort
in the public mind with the arbitrary
reign of Kamehameha v. Upon his death
in 1872, W. c. Lunalilo was elected King
by the Legislature. He took the oath to
support the Constitution. He lived only
about year, his death occurring in Feb
ruary, 1874; whereupon. David KaIakaua
was chosen King by the Legislature and
took the oath to support the Constitution.
The disposition manifested during the
two past reigns, that of Kamehameha v.
and Lunalilo, to override the people and
to take away constitutional prerogatives
was intensified during the reign of Kala-
kaua. The evil tendency of the wrongful
assumptions of kingly power produced its
legitimate effect and caused a revolution
in 1887. BY this Kalakaua was compelled
to sign and proclaim new Constitution
on the 7th of July. This new Constitution
contained great many changes. nearly
all of them tending strongly in favor Of
the rights of the people at large. 1t was,
in limited sense. comparable to the Mag
ma Charta granted by King John, at Run
nymede, many hundred years ago.

Commander in Chief Torrance for Vice

minneapolis Journal.)

Judge Torrance is talked of by members
of the Grand Army for Vice-President.
The journal publishes to-day telegram
from Topeka to the Kansas City Journal,
in which Department Commander Smith,
of Kansas, says that the matter was thor
oughly canvassed by the Grand Army men
at San Francisco and that, among all the
list of names under cOnsidera ton, it was
finally concluded that Judge Torrance was
the most available and suitable candidate
for Vice-President. Judge Torrance has
become a National figure through his re-
markably successful administration of the
office Of Commander-in-C Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He has probably
made more of that Office than any pre-
vious Commander, and while he has not
sought to make himself conspicuous, the
policy which he inaugurated and pursued
has attracted to him very general atten-
ton and has caused him to be held in very
high regard, not alone in the Grand Army,
but outside of it, and not alone in the
North but also in the South 1t goes with
