Huerta and His Fate.

Again Huerta is preparing for flight, according to
dispatches from the same sources which for months
past have represented him as lettering about to
resign, to surrender the United States to blow up
Mexico City to be assassinated or to commit suicide
Sixty days after the United States first placed arms
in the hands of his foes they were to march trium-
phantly into Mexico City, and Huerta was to be fed
to the sharks" Instead, Huerta has been directing
the orderly performance of the functions of govern
ment in all those states which Villa and Carrsnza
have not wrested from his control by force of arms
WhIle Americans and Mexicans were fighting in the
streets of Vera Cruz Huerta was safeguarding the
lives and property of American civilians wherever his
authority extended.
The caliber of Huerta has been underestimated in
the United States, but as the number of his DAYS
diminshes better appreciation OF his qualities is
evident Nelson O'Shaughnessy, if he might. could
place the true value upon them. In land where the
rule OF the sword alone is effective 4Huertas record
as shedder of blood is exceeded ten times by that
of Villa. But the government of the United States
has decreed that the revolutionists must triumph
and if Huerta cannot be vanqushed BY diplomacy his
loyal followers must slowly give way before their
enemies until the last bloody tragedy is enacted in
Mexico City.
Huerta in fight is not to be imagined, any more
than Huerta in the various other eewardy roles i'm
puted to him in the dispatches. Perhaps he has sent
menbets of his family out of the country, as has
been stated but almost certainly man of the die
tator's mold will be found in his capital when the
foe arrives. And what Of his fate ihen9 Has the
United States any responsibility for the safety Of

THE WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
July 1s6Horaee Greeley Proposed Peace Plan Lincoln and Urre
the President Invite Washington Confedesates Then at
Falls Supposedly for the Purpose Submitting Proposals Of Peace

Fifty years ago today Horace Greeley,
the chief Republican editor of the 'coun-
try in the war period. proposed to Lincoln
a peace plan and urged the President TO
invite to Washington certain Confed-
crates then at Niagara Falls, supposedly
for the purpose Of submitting proposals
for peace. =
Greeley penned an impassioned and
despondent letter. Il venture to remind
you that the bleeding, bankrupt, almost
dying country longs for peace, he wrote.
He then suggested his plan, which was
based on the restoration Of the Union, the
abolition OF slavery and the payment TO
the slave owners Of SiOo,o0o,OOo compensa-
ton.
Mr. Greeley stated to the President that
he had received assurances from a cor
respondent he knew well. one William
Cornell Jewett, Of Colorado, that agents
of the Confederate government were then
at Niagara Falls, empowered TO submit
peace proposals. Jewett was there also.
prepared to act as intermediary in the
proceedings. He had urged Greeley to Sc
cure for the Confederates an assurance
OF safe conduct TO Washington.
Lincoln had no faith in the sincerity
of Mr.. Greeley's correspondent-who
seems to have been a self-appointed CEN
sor Of the administration. as he had often
written the President letters of advice
but he was impressed with Mr.. Greeley's
earnestness, and saw in the situation an
opportunity to silence the repeated de-
mands that were being made by Northern
peace advocates to treat with the Con-
federates.
He therefore wrote Mr.. Greeley on July
3: IF you can find any person, anywhere,
protesting TO have any proposition OF JEFF
ferson Davis In writing for peace, en-
bracing the restoration of the Union, and
abandonment OF slavery. whatever else II
embraces, say TO him he may come to me
with you, and that II he really brings

duct with the paper land without pub

Campaign Ammunition.

Greeley delivered this to the Confed-
crates and returned to New York, leaving
Mr.. Hay to receive their reply. Mr.. Gree
ley also designated Jewett as his repre-
sentative This led at once to mischief
Jewett consulted with the Confederates
He assumed that Lincoln had first prom
ised them free conduct TO Washington
without conditions. The Confederates
wrote long letter to Jewett. arraigning
the President for breach of faith. This
Jewett gave to the press. Lincoln's po-
litical opponents made much of II. as 1t
was strong campaign document for
them.
Lincoln. acuteIy conscious of the in
justice done him. remained silent, as pub
ication OF his letters to Greeley would
have involved the publication Of all the
correspondence. and he felt that the time
was inopportune for revealing to the
world the detected views on the war OF
the leading editor of the party in power
The truth OF the incident did not be-

He wrote the President another long
peace letter, to which Lincoln repIied: :

On July Is the President sent a mes
senger TO New York with a letter to Mr..
Greeley. confirming his letter of July .
and saying II the commissioners con-
sented TO come to show that and this
TO them and bring them forthwith.
Mr.. Greeley next day started for Nj

ett---by whom he sent a letter across
the Suspension Bridge to the supposed
commissioners, Clement c. Clay. James
+. Holcombe, and George N. Sanders, in
which he told them that he was author

Washington. He failed however, TO in

would be received, as laid down in the
Presidents letter of July g.
The Confederates replied that they had
not been accredited from Richmond to
treat for peace. as assumed in Mr.
Greeley's note, but that they could get
credentials IL sent to Richmond for such
purpose.
Mr.. Greeley did not see. or chose not TO
see. that this would put Lincoln IN the
position of taking the initiative in pro-
posing peace. He wired to Washington
Tor instructions Lincoln at once wrote
these lines, which he forwarded to Gree
ley by the hand OF John Hay, one OF his
secretaries:

sition, which embraces the restoration of
