That was a great acknowledgment
made by the other paper last night.
'egarding the conditions in this city
It acknowledged, after all its assaults
upon the present administration that
the city was in splendid condition,
It's streets were well kept. its finances
closely guarded and all departments
Of the city government running in
splendid style. But. it did not in
tend to say anything about conditions
because the mayor would not praise
the county officers. naming over
some of the present officials. No one
has ever asked that paper to praise
the city administration. But it has
everlastingly tryed to discredit it,
Now it makes the petty excuse for
its position that the mayor would not
praise the public officials of the party
Of which it was representative. So
far as that is concerned, we believe
that We have treated all the officials
Of the city and county with due con
sideration We have at times de-
Tended them and at other times when
we have thought it necessary have
praised whatever was deserving of
praise. But we are considerably
amused at the weakness of such an
acknowledgment as a cause for dis
crediting this city administration.

Hundreds read the sermon of Rev
Ramsey given publication in this
paper last night. Not only did they
read 1t. but what he said they be-
lieved was the truth of the situa-
tion upon the question of the serv-
ants of God mixing in politics. Nor
can Rev. Buchtel lightly pass by what
was said. In the fear of God and in
the glory and purpose of saving
souls, undoubtedly Rev. Ramsey is
the peer of Rev. Buchtel.

General Grant would have been pleas

too much of his high calling, to aban-

Mr. Ackerman's honest appeal to
the members of the foot ball team
which he made in the high school
assembly room Monday morning was
an inspiration not only to the boys
of the team but also to all the student
body. The trend of his remarks was
to show that success is the result of
faithful endeavor and hard work.
The impression prevails that the
present foot ball team is better than
any of our high school teams of for
mer years. We hope that the re-
suits of the coming contests will
prove this opinion to be true. The
young men of the team feel that
they are greatly indebted to Mr..
Ackerman for his genial and helpful

The Generals Modesty

XTHEN General Joe Johnstons army sur
w rendered to Sherman and was given terms
which the Government recalled, Stanton
denounced Shermans conduct unsparingly,
and Grant was ordered by the President to
go at once to Sherrnan's headquarters and
conduct further operations there in person.
The General went to Raleigh, and remained
there in the background instead of going out
to the front, SO as not to appear to share the
credit of receiving Johnston final surrender.
He left that honor solely to Sherman, and stood
manfully by him when his motives were ques-
toned and his patriotism unjustly assailed.
At Appomattox, Grant treated Lee with
every possible respect. His sword was not
demanded, the firing of salutes and other
demonstrations of rejoicing suppressed,
and the vanquished were paroled and allowed
to take their horses with them to their homes.
The conqueror never for moment forgot
that the conquered were his own countrymen.
Two months after the close of the war, when
Lee applied by letter for the privileges eX-
tended to those included in the Presidents
amnesty proclamation, General Grant put an
Endorsement the communication, which
began as follows.
Respectfully forwarded through the Sec
retary of War to the President, with the
earnest recommendation that the application
of General Robert E. Lee for amnesty and
pardon may be granted him
But, instead of pardoning rebels, Andrew
Johnson was engaged in his boosted work of
making treason OdiouS, ana ne was deter
mined to have Lee and Others indicted and
punished for the crime of high treason. Cen
eral Lee appealed by letter to General Grant
for protection, and he knew he would not APP
peal in vain. General Grant put long and
emphatic Endorsement upon this letter of ap-
peal, in which the following language occurs:
''In my opinion the officers and men paroled
at Appomattox Court House and since upon
the same terms given to Lee, cannot be tried
for treason so long as they observe the ;erns
of their parole. The action of Judge
Underwood in Norfolk has already had an
effect, and I would ask that he be
ordered to quash all indictments found against
paroled prisoners of war, and to desist from
further prosecution of them"

Memories of Grant

immediate command of the movement, and
direct them to withdraw their men. He saw
these officers standing on the parapet of field
work, about six or eight hundred yards to the
left To reach them by passing inside of our
rifle-pits would be slow process, as the place
was crowded with troops; so he decided to
keep in front of the line of earthworks and take
the chances The shots were flying thick and
fast, and what with the fire of the enemy and
the heat of July sun, there was warmth
about the undertaking that ought to have
satisfied the cravings of the most advanced
cremationist. The very recollection of it,
more than forty years after, starts the perspira-
ton. Scarcely word was spoken in crossing
this distance Sometimes the gait was fast
walk, sometimes a dog-trot. The officers
were not little astonished to see the General
in-Chief approaching foot from this di-
rection, and no time was now lost in sending
orders for the withdrawal of the troops.
The unbounded generosity at all times dis
PLAYED by General Grant toward friends and
foes will be remembered as long as the world
continues to honor manly qualities. His I'M
selhshness in relation to his subordinates was
one of the chief secrets of their attachment
to him, and the immediate and unstinted
praise he gave them for their work was one OF
the great incentives which aroused them to the
efforts they put forth.

Loved by Southerners

THE touching messages of sympathy which
L poured in from the people of the South in
the closing hours Of the Generals lie testified
how well the people Of that section remembered
the Justice and generosity OF the great heart
whose throbbings were SO soon to cease.
If there is one word which describes better
than any other the predOminating Character
istic of General Grant S nature, that word is
loyalty. This trait naturally produced
reciprocal effect upon those who were brought
into relations with him, and was one of the
chief reasons why men became so loyalty at
tached to him. Though its dominating power
led him in some instances to stand heroically
by friends who were unworthy of his friend
ship, and to continue to trust those who were
the strength which made him proof against
the influence of unfounded aspersions of others
and raised barrier between worthy men and
their detractors, stamped him one who had
the courage to be just, and who let generous
sentiments have a voice in an age IN which
the heart plays so small part III public life.
In ordinary matters he an ordinary man !;
in momentouS affairs he became giant. When
performing the routine duties of a frontier
camp there was no act to make him conspicuous
above his fellow-officers, but when he welded
corps and armies the great qualities of the
commander flashed forth, and his master
strokes of genius placed him at once in the
front rank of the world great captains.
When he hauled wood from his little farm
and sold it in St. Louis, with all his industry
he did not drive so advantageous bargains OF
make so good a living as most of the farmers
about him; but when he came to cope with the
