Vice-President, was born on a farm in
Union Co.. Ohio. May IL, 1852. He grad

in 1872, and was admitted to the bar in
1874, removing to Indianapolis the same
year. He never held Office prior to his
election to the Senate, but had been Chair.

spectacle Of Jeff Davis Being Brought Into
Prison.
The steamer approached Fort Monroe
about noon. and ran up to the dock, to al
low her passengers q short time ashore
to view the historic old fortifcation.
Fort Monroe is always imposing and In
teresting. It is by far the finest example
OF tho old-time style Of fortificaton in the
United States. 1t guards position of the
utmost strategic importance-the en-
trance to Chesapeake Bay, the mouths Of
the Potomac and James Rivers, with the
direct routes to Baltimore, Washington
and Richmond. It was expected that be-
hind it would rise a great naval station,
where all our war ships would have q Sc
cure rendezvous, be built, refitted, re-
paired, and sent out to the probable field
Of operations against British and Spanish
ships in the West Indies. In the earlier
history Of the navy the Spanish Main and
the Gulf of Mexico were its principal
cruising grounds, and therefore Hampton
Roads and the navy yard at Norfolk its
principal base.
Therefore, the Government, even in
those economical days, spared nothing to
make Fort Monroe the most complete and
powerful stronghold in the world. It Is

This was . prize worth many desperate
chances. War is risky business, and fro.
quently the most unlikely chances succeed
They did not In this case, and the Army
Of the PotomscE suffered fearful loss in
few minutes, with a great depression Of
it's morale and q corresponding elevation
of the morale of the hitherto beaten rebel
army.
If Gen. Grant. had succeeded in break
ing through tie rebel line at Cold Harbor,
the victory would have been one of the
most spectacular and crushing in the his
tory Of war.
After all. the Army of the Potomac had
much better chance of breaking through
Lees army at Cold Harbor than the Army
of the Cumberland had Of breaking
through Bragg's line at Missionary Ridge
and throwing back the whole rebel force

TIE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.

The Republican Convention. which as
sembled at Chicago last week, differed from
any Of it's predecessors markedly in being
clear and unmistakable choice of the peo-
pie. President Roosevelt has SO approved
himself to the whole Of the rank and file of
the Republican party that there could be
no thought Of any other candidate, and
all that was left for the Convention to do
was to formally accept the choice Of the
men who were going to cast the votes
This they did with an unusual number Of
brilliant, epigrammatic speeches, descri1
tive Of the situation, the glorious history OF
the party, and the bright prospects of the
future.
There was almost as much unanimity In
the selection for the second place on the
ticket Representative Hits health 10 in
such a condition that he would not dare
enter the race, and therefore everybody
turned to Senator Fairbanks, who is an
unimpeachable candidate, with a long rec
ord of steady, sure, conservative useful
ness. There is nothing spectacular about
him, but he is man who from the ranks
Of the workingman, has raised himself to
his present position by unmistakable abil
tiles, by sturdy, untiring effort and fault
less honesty. He is such a man as will
appear to advantage in presiding over the
sessions of the staid, dignifed, conservative
Senate of the United States.
There is nothing startling or radical in
the platform adopted. 1t is mainly force
full, eloquent presentation of the achieve
ments of the Republican Party and the as
surance that the party will go on in the
way that it has, with the promise that fu-
ture conditions will be met with the same
ability and high spirit of Americanism
that has characterized the past.
A portion is devoted to eulogy Of the
present Chief Executive, who eminentiy de-
serves all that was said about him. 1t is
notable that the acts for which he has been
most severely attacked received the strong
est commendation in the platform, and
| evoked the most enthusiasm in the Conven-
ton.
As far as the proceedings Of the Con-
vention can go, they were a happy augury
Of the result of the campaign.

GEN. KuRopArK1H,s OPPORTUNITY.

If Gen. KurOpatkin had any of Gems.
Sherman, Phil Sheridan or StOnewall Jack
sons inspiration in him, he has now an
opportunity such as has rarely presented
itself to any commander. The japanese,
in apparent contempt of their enemy, have
violated one of the first great principles
of war in moving several cOnverging col
umns upon one objective, and beyond sup
porting distance of one another. They
have one column at Feng- -wang-cheng, an
other moving up from Takushan as base.
a third operating from Pitsewo against
Port Arthur. and possibly other smaller
columns from both coasts. How strong
these several columns are can not be more
than guessed at. If the assertions be true
that the japanese have only 10000 men
in the peninsula, these columns can not,
any of them, have more than 10000 men.
If there can be any reliance whatever
placed upon the reports of the Russian
strength, Kuropatkin should be able to
quickly mass 100000 men at some point,
and moving with solidarity, overwhelm one
after another of these widely-isolated col
umns. This is his opportunity, and it is
one which Sheridan, Sherman or Stonewall
Jackson would have welcomed as the
chance Of his life.
1t is such situation as Stonewall Jack
son found when we had one column moving
up the Peninsula, another out from Wash
ington, a third froQ Harper's Ferry up
the Shenandoah Valley. and fourth and
fifth approaching the Shenandoah Valley
from the west Jackson, leaving the Army
Of the Potomac to be attended to by Lee,
swept into the Shenandoah Valley, and
striking one of the far separated columns
after another, produced widespread conster-
nation, and threw the whole army back.
though he did not win decisive victory
over any one of them.
Of course. the ox-footed Russian troops
KurOpatkin has are no such swift marcliers
as the American soldiers, and would be
utterly unable to repeat the lightnnglike
strokes of the commanders of our war.
An American column would march 80 or
40 miles and win a victory while the Rus
sian force was putting on its heavy boots
and getting into line. Still, with his Cos.
| sacks, and a selection of his best troops
kuropatkin should be able. to retrieve the
Russian reputation by striking a quick
sharp blow at least one of the Japanese
| columns cOnverging upon the railroad to
| the rear of Port Arthur.

sWINToN ON GRANT.

While The National Tribune approves
OF most Of historian Swinton's vivid pre-
sentation of the history Of the Army Of
the Potomac, it strongly diss0ts from the
generalization which he has made Of the
results Of the Wilderness Campaign. There
Is q personal element In this, because
Swinton represented the prejudice against
the Western commander by the higher Of
ficer Of the Army Of the Potomac, and
never did Grant justice.
1t is impossible that there should have
been such disparity OF losses OF the two
armies as he gives, and which has passed
into current history. Undoubtedly the
Army Of the Potomac as an attacking
army lost q great many more men than its
opponents. That was in the nature of
things, and could not be avoided. At the
same time the Army Of Northern Virginia
suffered nearly as cruelty as the Army of
the Potomac.
In the bloody fighting in the Wilderness
the losses must have been nearly equal, as
both sides were struggling through impen-
etrable thickets, and the Union bullet was
just as likely to be fatal as rebel shot.
At Spotsylvania and elsewhere Lee
made assaults which were as destructive
to his men as any the Army Of the Poto-
mac ever made, and his troops suffered
appallingly.
Up until Cold Harbor the losses must
have been as nearly equal Al chef could
be between an invading and defending
army. Cold Harbor was confessedly Q
mistake. Gen. Grant took desperate
chance 10 end the war BY single blow.
He felt, and there was every indication to
support this feeling, that Lees army had
been terribly depressed BY its awful losses
for the last 30 days. and that il given .
quick. sharp, heavy blow upon its center.
its line could b broken. the army scat
tered and destroyed. and Richmond taken.

TAKE CARE OF YouR WIDOWS.

OF the most intense interest to every
veteran is the question of what will be-
come of his faithful wife when he shall
be mustered out. This subject cannot help
being uppermost in the thoughts of all Of
us as we see the ravages Death is making
in the ranks of our comrades. That our
time is to come is sorrowfully evident.
Much more sorrowful is the carking
thought of what will become Of the woman
who has stood by our side SO long.
who has been the most faithful of COM
panions. and the most tender and sincere
of friends, and who in her advancing years
win be left helpless and companionless
upon the cold world.

bands soldier career, and have feminine
Indifference to the actual details of his
regiment-the dates of his muster in and
out-and the other particulars which the
Pension Bureau insist upon. To obviate
this, and to assist the comrades in caring
for the widows they may leave behind,
The National Tribune has started bu-
reau, which We hope will be of the great
est comfort to the veterans and assistance
to their widows. 1t proposes that every
veteran shall file with it all the necessary
data for an application for pension for
his widow. which data will be cared for by
The National Tribune. properly fled, and
will be in readiness for her when the sad
moment comes when she is compelled to
ask the Government for assistance.
Elsewhere is given a full explanation of
our plan. The information sent us will
be carefully filed. preserved in fire-proof
receptacle, and under competent guard
ianshp, and thus be instantly accessible,
no matter how long before wanted, for the
purpose for which it was prepared. While
we earnestly hope that it will not be nee
essary for many years for this information
to be used, it is the part of common pru-
dence to prepare it, and have it in safe
place where it is at once available.
Every comrade who thinks Of this will
lose no time in taking advantage of our
offer. 1t will cost him nothing. 1t is the
part of common, ordinary prudence to do
it, and it may be of the greatest benefit to
his family.

COL. PRATT's MISTAKEN INDIAN POLICY.

There is a good deal of satisfaction ex-
pressed through the country at the re-
moyal of Col. Pratt from the Carlisle In
dian School, and the reputation of his pol
icy thereby. Col. Pratt made the mistake
Of believing that by highly educating
few Indian youths he could leaven the en-
tire mass Of. those still in the blanket and
intermediate stages. The trouble was that
there were too few of these individuals.
We all know how ridiculous a superfnely
educated college graduate-a white boy
makes himself when he goes back to his
plain, country kindred, who, with all their
homely ways, have much more real, hard
sense than he can boast Of. They may not
know to what declension Latin verb be-
longs, nor what year Cesar crossed the
Rubicon, but they do know how to do, and
do well, a world Of practical things that he
has never learned. His finicky ways and
affectations amuse and anger them, and he
is likely, for a few years, to have a very
unhappy time of 1t. If this be true of
whites, how much more it must be Of In
dians. If the Indians are raised to civili-
zation it must be by the same way the
whites have risen-not by the superfne
education of few individuals, but by the
slow, patient Abored elevation Of the
mass. Goyssnmept schools on the reser-
vations are faRYthe best. There the In
dams who ara really desirous Of advancing
are taught every year to do little better
than the previous. year, and SO By precept
and example the whole tribe is improved,
with each member seeing and emulating
what the others are doing. To get 100
Indians more each year at each reserva-
tion to put ii d crop OF corn and success
fully cultivate. ii till harvest time, to raise
pigs and cattle enough for their own meat,
build and keep in repair their own houses
and sheds, Will DO more toward civilizing
the Indians than the graduation Of any
number Of Indian lawyers. doctors and
football experM.s
The money had far better be expended
in encouraging the Indian arts-basket-
making, pottery, blanket weaving, paint
ing, music, etc., in which the Indians have
shown much ability. This would give
them pride in what they are able to do,
which would bs rich in results. Skill In
the arts has been the cornerstone Of the
rise Of every people. and BY encouraging
the Indians In their peculiar lines Of work
We shall not only improve them, but We
may develop special American school Of
art which VIII enrich the world.
