<len. liobt. Edward Lee, satdr . -
“Mr. Commander,.<3tHcersand Metn-

birth, descent, tradition, name and en
vironment closely -associated with
Massachusetts. 1 was a* Union sold ter

ed the Confederacy, and helped tq des
troy It Kormerlyx»f t he A rmv of t he
Potomac, through long.years 1 was in
tent on the overthrow of the Army of
Northern Virginia. “So far, more
over as that great pas) is concerned,
having nothing to regret, to excuse or
to extenuate, I am yet here, on this
day to respondlo a sentiment in honor
of the military leader once opposed to
us—a Virginian and a Confederate.
Nor, all this being thus and *), if
.asked why 1 am here, dfauld the an
swer be far to seek. I’rhnarily, as a
Massachusetts man, 1 confess to a feel
ing of special kindliness t^toaVds iwh
other states of the Union—t wo of the
ortginial thirteen, aU)vc all the other
present forty andnv® 'South Carolina
and Virginia. Those, with Massa-
. chusetts, 1 hold to have been, essen
tially, pivotal states. Communities
pee.uli&rly prolific of mett—tbc ex
ponents of ideas Lorn them have
gine forth those migrating columns
which nut in fierce grapple foi the
maintenance and the ascendancy of
that in which they believed.
"So, if 1 may be permitted first to
say a word perkmat to myself; when,
the other day scarcely a month ago -
1 was called on to speak In Charleston
loan audiencetf South Carolinians,
1 responded' ft once; and 1 did so be
cause my heart went out to them as
thOSeuLmy countrymen to whom 1 had
once been most bitterly opposed -
countrymen still, though I had come
to know that. as foemen, they were
men of whom it behooved us most to
take heed. As—exponents of their
ideas—right and wrong—Massachu
setts and South Carolina were peers.
They had not followed; they had led.
“And so- -as 1 told them—fully con
scious that 1 was walking on’ ashett
still hot, in the very creator of what
had within all our memories been the
most terrific volcano of a century—
walking there amid sulphurous mem
ories. 1 chose for my theme t he con
stitutional ethics.of secession. In a
wholly dispassionate spirit, I address
ed myself to it as a purely academic
question; but 1 wanted—to- know
whether the time had indeed come
when the old friendly feeling was re
stored, and the foes of a former genera
tion couid again ta^k together calmly
and as brethren over issues once burn
ing. The reception of what I said^Jiad
justified my faith in those to wh )ine I
said it. Never have I met with mdfe
cordial welcome—ndver did i receive a
more fraternal response.
“Next came the Confederate vet
erans of New York; they called,>and
t At this banquet■ given In
honor of the memory of Robert & Lee
1 am asked to respond to a sentiment
in his honor, and, without reservation,
I do so; for, as a Massachusetts man, 1
s0e in him exemplified Xhdke lofty ele
ments of personal character, which,
typifying Virginia, made Washington
possible- Tlie possession of such
qualities by an opponent cannot huf
cause a thrill of satisfaction frofh* the a commanding general than that, for
sense that we also, as foe no less than
as oountpy-men, were w orthy^of-irtm.
and of those whom huJtypiiied. It was
a great company, that old, original
thirteen; and in the front rank of Lhai
company Virginia, Massachusetts and
South Carolina stood conspicuous. So
I recognize a peculiar fellowship t)e-
tween them—the fellowship of those
who have boll) contended shoulder to
shoulder, and fought face to face.

am here Hus evening- as I
have said, a Massachusetts man as
.,wfcll as a member qf the Loyal Legion—
to do honor to tlie memory of him who
was chief among those once set in
array against us. Of him, what shall
I say? Essentially a solidler, as a
soldier Robert E. Liee was a marly-sided
man. 1 might speak of him as a
strategist; but, of tins aspect, of the
min, enough has perhaps been said. 1
m ghU refer to the respect , the confi
dence and love with which lie inspired
those under his command. I might
dilate on his restraint in victory; his
resource and patient endurance hi the
face of adverse fortune; the serene
dignity with which he, in the end*
triumphed over defeat. But,
over all these well-worn themes
shall contine myself to that one attri
bute-, of his which, recognized in a
soldier by an opponent, I cannot but
regard as his surest an i loftiest title
to enduring fame. 1 refer to his
humanity in arms, and his scrupulous
regard for the most advanced rules of
civilized warfare.
“On this point, two views I am well
aware have been taken from the be
ginning, and still are advanced. On
the one side it iscontended^hat war
fare should be strictly confined to com
batants, and its horrors and devasta
tions brought within the narrowest
limit*—that private property should be
respected, and devastation and viol
ence limited to that necessary to over
come armed opposition at the vital
points of conflict. This by some. But,
on the other hand, it is Insisted that
such a method of procedure Is mere

\hd.here, as a soldier of the Army
of tlie Potomac, let me lx:ar my testi
mony,to such of the Army of Northern
Virginia as may now be—present.
While war at best is bad'yet its neces
sary and unavoidable badness was not
in that campaign enhanced. In scope
and spirit Lee’s order was observed,
and I i.oubt if a hostile force ever ad
vanced in an enemy’s country, or fell
back from it in retreat, leaving behind
it less cause of hate and bitterness
than did the Army of Northern Vir
ginia in that memorable campaign
which culminated at Gettysburg. Be
cause he was a soldier. Lee did not
feel it incumbent upon him to pro
claim himself a brute, or to exhort his
followers to brutality. - ^
“I have paid my tribute/ One word
more and I have done. Some six
months ago, in a certain academic ad
dress at Chicago, 1 called to mind the
fact that a statue of Oliver Cromwell
now stood in the yard, of Parliament
House in London, close t<j that histor
ic hall of Westminster, from the roof
of which his severed head liad once
looked down. Calling to mind the
strange chafiges of feeling evinced by
the memory of that grinning skull and
the presence of that image of bronze-

traitor and regicide, stood now con

and most honored. T asked, ‘why
should it not also in time be so with
Lee? Why should not his effigy, erect
on his charger and wearing the insig
nia of his Confederate rank, gaze from
his pedestal across the Potomac at the
Virginia shore, and his one® dearly

the lady attendant, and the offer was
taken up by the show people, who
thought it only a bluff on his part.
Bowman evidently meant what he
said, howfcver. for without a sign of
fright he walked up to the cage and
followed the trainer in. F’or a few
minutes the animal Cook no notice of
the presence of the stranger and Bow
man became more bold. The mov^
seemed-to anger the beast and with a

cries for assistance were answered by
the showmen who were near,* and
with some trouble the leopoard was
forced to leave his prey. This, how
