After the exchange of messages we
were within speaking distance of the

Lees Uniform.

The protestants declare that 10 is
not to Lee the man nor Lee the
soldier they object; but it Is against
the uniform in which his statue is
clothed their disapproval is direct
ed. Lee in citizen garb would be
an anomaly. He was a soldier all
his life from the day he entered
West Point a cadet till Appomat-
tox.
1t is true that be served valiant
~ in the American army in Mexico.
and "a chief of staff planned every
battle between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City, Scott so reported.
and that Is why Scott was so in
sistent that Lee be made command
er-in-chief in the field Of the Fed
eral armies in 1861.
But it would be ridiculous to
clothe Lee in q Federal uniform.
the same as Gen. Grants. And
so 1t would appear that if Lees
statue is TO grace the national Val
halla, it must be clothed in the
Confederate uniform. Who can
imagine him In other garb. When
his name Is mentioned. what Is the
thought 1t conjures. Why. that
ne was the commander of the Army
of Northern Virginia. Suppose
this man were alive and in robust
health, and our country were in
vaded by formidable hostile foreign
armies. Suppose that. To W hom
would all eyes turn to lead the
armies of defense and confront the
enemy in bloody battle. We all
know the call for Lee would be
unanimous.
Then the Union can stand the
Confederate uniform IL peace if it
withstood it in war. We do not
believe the Lee statue in the old
hall of the House of Representa-
tiyes has done the union particle
of harm. The flag is still here.
and the government at Washington
still lives.
Let Us indulge in a little mag
nanimity.-Washington Post.
