Reviewing Articles on U?e Lute War.
"Men of Massachusetts, you have con
quereu everyimng else, now learn to
conquer your prejudices." Daniel j
Webster said that or words to that ef- j
feet, and if he was alive to-dny he could j
t>&y Jt to all of us for we are all the
slaves of prejudice. I was thinking 1
*bout this while reading the last num- 1
her of The Century. In the December'
number General Lew Wallace wrote an ;
account of the battle of Khiloh ami I
thought it was very fair and considerate,
considering that he was a Federal general.
1 believed him to be sincere.
And now comes General Grant in the j
last number and says that Lew Wallace |
did not obey orders and bungled up i
things terribly. General Grant starts
out by abusing General llalleok, his suMirinr
nn#l % *<!*& !?!?
"WIVVI, ??'IU u,6? 11,1,1 "l"1**'1 in':
short ribs severely. The biggest thing
in his long article is (lom-rai Grant, and
lie takes up a good deal of space in
telling about his horse falling down and
hurting his ankle, and about his standing
by a treo all night in the rain. Well,
that was bad?and we are sorry he had
it to do, but it was twenty-three years
ago. and w? are all well of it now. He
says that the Confederates had over 40,1XJ0
inen the lir.it day, and he had only
25,000 in line ; but he never had any
doubt about whippirg the fight. He
says further that Lew Wallace came up
after the first days fight with 5,000 men,
and Hell came next morning with 20,000
more, and this made a total of 50,000
for the second dav. II e SRVfi lio did I
not need Bull's force, but was glad to
see them and they did all that there was
for them to do.
Well, now let us look at Win. Preston
Johnston's account in the same number.
He says that Grant had nn army
of 58,000 men in cam}/, nearly 50,000 of
whom were effectives. Buell was near
at hand with 37,000 more, and Mitchell
not far distant with 18,000. I n nil Grant
had 105,000 effective men, and opposed
to him were less than 40,000 effective
Confederates.
So,it seems that Grant was to have easily
whippod the 40,000 confederates
with "his 30.000 federals without any help
from Buell.
. And on the other side it seems that
Grant had 105,000 men pitted against
40,000. Every-body is at liberty 1 sup
pose to believe either one or the other;
but I reckon most people will do like
juries do when the lawyers get them all
befuddled?just split the difference and
find a verdict.
Beauregard and his friend Jordan
make up a pretty good story for their
side, and Win. Preston Johnston handles
them without gloves and makes up a
better one for General Albert Sidney
Johnston, and so it goes, and nobody
knows just how it was exactly, and
never will know I reckon. I don't believe
any of these writers can tell it
just as it'was for they arc all just hu.man
and have prejudices and it is impossible
for them to sue it from the
same standpoint. And wo (heir renders
will believe or not believe according to
. our prejudices, for wo can't help it. We
1 inherit a love of "our side''just like we
inherit our politics or our religion. It
isH<rhit in human nature that contributes
to our good and makes us happier.
' but like aU.other things it can be indulged
iu to extremes, and then it makes
us selfish and conceited and uncharitable.
I know that the truth of history ought
4o he vindicated if it can be, but I don't
?ee that all this wrangle about the battle
of Shiloh is doiiig any good. It is
pretty well settled that we got badly
' whipped somehow or somehow else and
flirt "5 To" oii'l ?l.~ " J ?
..., ...... uiu pvrnuvtfiuurcs ' are
too uncertain to make tip history. They
romind mo of an nrticlc I read about
lieneral Jackson nt New Orleans. Tho
writer said that "Old Hickory" was the
. second savior of the world, for if he
tiadent command a' Now Orleans and
killed old Packenham, old Packcnham
would have whipped that light, an?l then
gone back to England and taken charge
of the English nriuy, for he ragked
Wellington and Napoleon and would
have whipped him at Waterloo, for
Packcnham was a poor General, and then
the French would have whipped England
and all the rout of mankind, and
tho whole world would by this time be
under the French Empire and be eating
frogs or catching them for a living,
Ono thing is certain though, tho rebels
did soino good fighting on several
occasions, for General Grant savs so mid
pcveral other Federal generals have(said
><?. I belicvo they do give us credit for
getting up a little stampede at Bull Hun,
and now there seems to he a fuss about
that, for General Patterson's son had
taken offense and comes to tho front to
defend his father who is dead. That
brings in some more "ifs," for they say
if General Patterson had joined McPowoll
in time the rebels would not
have whipped the fight at Bull Run, and
so it goes. There is just about as much
jealousy among military commanders as
among doctors in a one-horse town, and
it is of a worse kind,' for a doctor can
die out of it and get rid of it, but a general
can't. They will rako him up and
slander hi in after he has boon dead and
buried for twenty years. I confess tpi
prejudices and I can't help feeling
a burning indignation when I
hear the patriotism, the genius or
v. 4 . .
I ' . ^
<.?hV w.t? .... ..
the generalship of Albert Si?lnoy j
Johnston questioned by anybody,
especially by those who envied him, I
love to love the memory of the mnn and
I don't like anybody whe seeks to dis- !
turb my faith. Faith is the comfort of
a man. Faith in those we have been |
t.niirht to admire?faith in friends, faith '
in religion. I would not try to shake |
tin- faith of a Baptist in immersion, not j
an Kpiscopalinn iti the apostolical sue- |
cession nor a Jew in the Talmud. I??*t i
them have their faith and let me have I
mine. But I would try to enlighten the
beclouded minds ol those who worship
tire and the sun ami the sun and all
sorts of idols and have no intelligent
conception of God and his goodness.
The Jew is as much a Christian as the
Gentle, for he believes in a Savior?the
Savior wild sittefh fit tlio tinnil nf
find, and the only difterence is tluit lie
docs not believe lie has yet come but
that lie will come. Wo should lie
thankful every day that religious intolerance
has passed away and with it lhe
inquisition and the Smithflcld fires and
the drowning of witches, and thus mil'
children are safe Trom martyrdom for
opinion's sake.
The intolerant and the rapid prosclyti/r
must go. There is but one (!od. and
Mohammed is not his prophet, nor anyone
else who claims the exclusive right
to be. The church militant is just like
the army militant. The privates do the
fighting, and there is many a private
who is a lietter man than his captain or
his colonel. General (Jrant says in his
Shiloli article, that his men stood Ann,
but some of bis colonels were arrant
cowards and left tl><> Held
I nni glad of one thing, and that is that
the people have at last made anew departure
and elected a man president
who was not a military hero. The country
is not silk of heroes, but it is their
claims for eiv'c honors and rewards.
They are not statesmen, as a general
thing, and are out of their element in
adminstering the affairs of a great nation.
1 hope that Mr. Cleveland 'will let them
rest awhile when he makes up his cabinet.
CJrant had a sweet crowd around
him'and they stole and plundered everything
they could, but I believe that
most of them are now dead or disgraced,
or both, and the country has almost forgotten
they ever lived.
But everything looks quite peaceable
now on this side Atlantic and the prospect
is bright for the next four years to
come. We are at peace with the world.
There is a little hard feeling about tliis
dynamite buisiness, and it ought to be
fixed up. Those dynamiters are getting
entirely too impudent over here. 1 see
they had \ recent meeting in Chicago
and made speeches and applauded that
London explosion and declared what
they could do in Chicago. They have
I'oruiedn partnership with the communes
i 1 >
iiim inn11mim mid wouki overturn our
own government if they (lured ami they
say they do dan?. \\ lion a man threatens
another man's life the law puts him
undyrhond lo keep the peace, and those
fellows who threaten the peace and securit}*
of our people aught to be put un.
dor bond or sent to prison, and it ought
to be done quick and sharp and let their
sympathizers take warning.
The English are our brethren and our
ancestors and the world owes to England
more for morals and the civilization
and advanpemunt in the arts and sciences
than to ^ny other nation. Our govern
ment :;hould not permit these-dynamiters
to plot anc^ plan their;infernal
schemes oyer here.' The next thing we
know they will be trying their hands on
our capital for the devil is in them and
they don't cafre. They are the turbulent
disturbers of the public tranquility. 1
don't want such n.en for my nabors, for
if they take oflense they would shoot a
man through the wisdom by night and
whjle he was surrounded by his family.
They.are assassins of the worst type.
If the poor Irish can't live under British
rule let them come over here. There is
plenty of room and let them behave
when they do come. I am Irish myself
and I love the Irish heart, and am proud
of the noble sons of Erin, but there is
no method in their present madness and
no humanity in their methods.

JJJIjI* A1W,
Blaiue for 188S. ,
The? Washington correspondent of the
New York World writes: Tho other
day I met Mr. Klkins just as lie was
coining out of Mr. Maine's house and
walked down town with him. 1 asked
him : "Who do you think will l>o the
nominee of the licpuhlicnn party four
years from now ?" "That is a long time
ahead," said he. "There is not iintch
use in making any predictions. I believe,
however, that Mr. Maine will be
nominated again, lie has to-day a
greater following in the parly than on3*
other one man, lie is the only man
tlint can curry the West. He was tho
only man that could have earned Ohio
j lust ()otobor< I believe that when the
convention e? men lo meet four years
from now the demand upon,(he part of
the Republicans for his nomination will
be ho overwhelming as to overshadow
all other candidates. I do not think
any management \\ill renominate liini,
but that he will be renominated in spite
oi any management.Mr. Klkins'
opinion thus frankly expressed is more
determined even than it was last spring.
There were times then when he was
doubtful whether Mr. Blaine could be
nominated or whether it would bo good
policy to nominate hun'.i 'i
None of Mr. Blaine's friends think
that his course since the election can
apy lp/4?i|tToyjn^r?hi8t popularity
with his followers throughout the
country. Senator Allison-, 'of Iowa,
who is on* of the most conservative of
politicians, says that everything that has '
happened since the election which has "
been made the subject of criticism is
comparatively trivial and will in*ke no
lasting impression.' Mr. Hlaine is lookiii*5
fofward with great interest to the
campaigns of New York and Ohio this
fall. The local managers from these
I States are even now consulting with ?
i him. as if they expected help and direc- J
t tion from him.

My wlfo Mid daughter suffered for yenr^ with
nil ufTcctlon of tl'. j throat, whleh was K"*nJnnlly
but surely undermining their health, and was a
Source of anxiety to nil of us. Two of the bost
lihysi clans of the city end also a surgeon were
railed In, and after a careful examination they
decided that there w?.i no clianco of a cure unless
they would consent to undergo a surgical
operation. We were much oi>j>osod to the knlfo
being used, ?ntH nil other means had been exhausted.
So, we bepun to use different throat
rom&Ulcs sold at drug stores. Wo finnlly got to
Brewor'8 Lung Itestorsr, p.ud the effccts wore
truly wonderful; and after a few bottles had
bcun taken tliey were entirely relieved of the
trouble and their health fully restored. If unv
