THE R. E. LEE STATUE
AN EX-NORT3REN DOLDIR AP
PROVES THE PROJECT.
A Virginian Denounces It and the
Comparison Between Wash
ington and Lee.
A Federal Veteran Approves.
T-i the Editor of The Evening Star:
I be-lieve the war has been over long
enough to enable me to read my own heart
regarding such matters as the proposed
Lee statue free from rancor and Ill-consid
ered warmth. I was not in sympathy with
the cause to which Robert E. Lee devoted
his great abilities, and for many of the
earlier days of my life I have felt the re
verse of kindliness for those who strove all
they could to destrop the government as
foun<led by "the fathers." But the after
noon of life brings with It more disposition
to reason calmly, to judge fairly, to let
passion have no part in summing up the
verdict. At least that has been the process
time has worked in me, and I have con
ciuded here and now to express views that,
honest and candid as you know them to be,
may not please some of my comrades of the
Grand Army of the Republic. That they
will please still less the fierce non-com
batants with whom the term "traitor"
comes so readily, is a fact that I take for
granted, and one that disturbs me not at
all.
If there is a class of men for whom I
feel the most sincere admiration it Is the
survivors of the legions who gathered un
der the "stars and bars." That they were
honest in their belief that duty called them
to arms under the southern banner, I be
lieve as implicitly as I know that I cham
pioned the Union cause in 1861, a boy of
sixteen, without the inducement of the high
bounties paid later on, and the man who
calls these hundreds of thousands "trai
tors" resort to cheap claptrap that no
thinking man should indulge in. The na
ture of the tie that bound the states to
gether was a mooted question right up to
the day when Lee determined to lay down
his United States commission, to relieve
himself from the obligation his oath im
posed and to jeopardize every dollar's
worth of property he owned in the world
by offering his sword to the state that he
thought had the first right to his alleg
iance. That man was no traitor, and I
want to go on record right here as express
ing that opinion.
I have no word of defense, certainly not
o,f praise, nor even respect, for those men
bers of Buchanan's cabinet, who, having
taken a solemn oath to protect and defend
the United States, schemed and planned
and executed so as to leave the govern
ment from whose service they had not the
honor to retire, es defenseless as possible.
Those men-let history supply their dis
honored names-were traitors. They de
served death by hanging. But Robert E.
Lee was incapable of the crimes that lie
at their door. He did no plotting. When
he had arrived at the parting of the ways,
he chose his course before all the world,
and having determined on it, he gave the
best that was in him to a cause that years
before its end must have been by him re
garded as devoid of hope.
Nearly forty years have passed since the
surrender at Appomattox proclaimed that
this was a nation, that no more quibbling
should keep asunder the different portions
of the land. It is knitted together by
oceans of blood, by rivers of women's
tears. The boy soldier of sixteen Is seeing
the wisdom of putting his house in order,
the second genera 'on has passed the meri
dian of life. Alr.ady once since brother
was slain by brother, a call to patriots has
gone forth. And how did the south re
spond? Where stood the man who bears
the name of Lee? Are not the answers to
these queries all that need be said on the
topic that has ca!lld forth so many angry
words? The soldiers of the south gave
proof in 1898 that they were full-fledged
Americans. Their sons followed with en
thusiasm the glorious flag that is theirs
forevermore. The men who sacrificed all
in their devotion to the cause that was lost
would not today rend the Union if they
could. They do not repent in sackcloth nor
in ashes, but they recognize that it was
well for their children's children that they
lost in the great struggle. And if they
want to show that they remember in honor
the great captain of that vanquished host,
who will blame them for it? In the words
of our great captain, then. "Let up have
peace." AUGUST DONATH.
A Virginian in Opposition.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
L. T. E erett in your columns states that
he has "lived for some years among the
people of Virginia" and feel fit and chosen
to speak for her on this subject of the Lee
statue. Will you now grant space to one
who was born upon her soil and resided
there for more than a third of a century,
and who views the subject from the stand
point of a loyal Virginian and a true wor
shiper at the shrine of his whole country?
I will premise by saying, what all will
admit, that just now the United States
stands upon the very pinnacle of the na
tions of the earth. Now, here is a man
who led more than 100,000 of his neighbors.
friends and admirers to slaughter to pre
vent his country's reaching this proud
position, For where is there a man so
utterly assinine as to believe that either
of the dissevered fragments of the Union
could ever have reached this proud posi
tion? I am charitable enough to believe
that even L. T. Everett might be induced
to blush at the counter proposition. It is
nothing short of nauseating to hear a par
allel drawn between Washington and Lee.
Washington had never been a party to the
compact fixing the relations between Eng
land and the colonies. He never swore al
legiance to the crown, acceptance of her
constitution or obedience to her laws. He
found himself a born denizen of a depend
ency in the government of which he had
no voice, compelled to obey laws which
he had no hand in making or the privilege
of reject ing or amending. He groaned
under all the abuses and tyrannies which
Jefferson so eloquently set forth in the
Declaration and from which he had no
escape oJr hope of relief, though so often
so piteously presented at the foot of the
throne. England then invaded her colonies
to enforce submission; then Washington
drew his sword against her.
Ho0w stands the case with Lee? As rep
resenting the south he was a party to the
compact which formed the Union, which
he then declared through Washington
should he indissoluble. He had sworn a
hundred times allegiance to the Constitu
tion. obedience to the laws and devotion
to the flag of his country. During sixty
eight years of his country's history he had
administered its affairs, forty-eight to the
north's twenty, and had dominated eight of
the latter. He had held the Supreme Court
almost continuously during the whole time.
Of foreign and home ministers he had ap
pointed two-thirds. He had levied and dis
bursed all revenues to his own liking, while
the non-seceding states had furnished al
most two-thirds of the whole amount. Dur
ing all this time not a single law had been
placed on the statute books of which he
had a single cause to complain-not one.
In a fairly contested election between the
north and the south the former succeeded
In a perfectly constitutional manner; then
he kicked, while yet not a single menace
to hi. section had appeared. He partook
of the spirit expressed by Goy. Brown of
Mississippi, who declared-"the south has
controlled this govelr.nent ever since it was
a government, and when she can't do it
any longer I'm in for breaking up the
concern." Only this and nothIng more.
Mr. Everett says Lee drew his sword to
resist the "invasionl of his mother"-Vir
ginia-when not a hoof or a heel from the
north had invaded "his mother" until his
armed legions had encamped at the very
doors of the national Capitol-In full sight
of the dome. In view of the facts I have
stated-not one of which can be controvert
ed-what becomes of the parallel between
Lee and Washington? Mr. Everett should
read for more information and pray for
more lIght and stronger inclinatIon to tnath
fulness. Now, as a VIrginian, I utterly
scout the Idea that Robert E. Lee ever ren
dered any honorable or usefual service to the
state of Virginia. Promn his childhood he
was taken into the parental bad, of the
government of the United States, fed,
olothed and greemmed for tts servioe un
til the war with Vexico, in which he did
no amore ws better than twenty other ma
Sand oods that enid be agued,
was ih duty. ese fsr whlsh, as I said,
than ts eaddM ihmt e
m...a. s when amedampg m the
Sa imme ne amuss vae maa tma
that, too, without a irgte grievanee. Not
until this hour had he tendered service of
any kind to the state of Virginia, and that
which followed was to both the detriment
and the dishonor of his state. He led the
forces of disunion and national overthrow
until In its suppression-which any other
self-respecting government on the earth
would have undertaken-his state was
deluged in blood, her noble families and ac
complished sons sent to untimely graves
and all her material interests swept as by
the besom of destruction, from which they
have not entirely recovered in almost half
a century.
This is the service for which the state of
Virginia proposes to reward him. Passing
by Madison. the father of the Constitution
of the country, and Monroe, the father of
that "doctrine" which forms the cap sheaf
of the pinnacle of fame of the state'iest,
grandest, most glorious government on
earth, and a host of other ornaments of the
age, she stoops to dather up the blasted
image of him who sought to destroy all and
wipe the "United States" from the map of
the globe. Why choose him instead of
them?
There can be but two solutions of this
Question. The first demonstrates that tie
leprosy of disunion and national overthrow
is not yet healed in the hearts of these peo
ple. They teach it to their children: they
organize associations that can have but
one purpose-that of keeping alive devotion
to the lost cause, and for which representa
tives and senators leave their seats and
their oaths behind them and go annually to
these reunions for the sole purpose of glori
fying the cause and those who fell in the
effort to make it a success. Second, it is
the last expiring effort to lay the dead and
stinking carcass of secession and disunion
on the platform of the public gaze and
galvanize it into an equality of respectabili
ty with loyalty and national honor.
Washington and Lee! Out upon such
stomach-retching platitudes! Washington
drew his sword to establish the liberties of
his people. Lee drew his to perpetuate the
power to enslave others; he wrought only
for the destruction of his country, and but
for the armed intervention of her loyal
sons he would have accomplished it. And
yet there are some-let us pray there be but
few-still so gangrened with the virus of
national dishonor they cannot see it. Wash
ington was a patriot-Lee was the regicide
of the only nation of kings on all the
earth.
How many men in blue, think you,
would have marched to the defense of the
Union and the flag could they have fore
seen for a single moment that within their
own lifetime those who sought the over
throw and destruction of both should re
ceive the same consideration and honor at
the hands of the nation that they them
selves were entitled to? Not one-no, not
one! and we should have been today in the
lamentable category of those farcical or
ganizations of South America-subject to
be gobbled up by any rover of the seas who
desired to take in both them and us. This
is the destiny to which Robert E. Lee in
vited us. But worst of all else is the fact
that he went to his grave disowning his
country, leaving on record nowhere the
slightest recogrition of or admonition to
honor its Constitution or stand by its flag.
And yet it is proposed to enshrine him in
the holy of holies of the nation's Capitol.
Mr. Everett prates much about Lee's first
and superior allegiance to the sovereign
state of Virginia. Virginia never saw a
moment of time when she had the slightest
shade of a shadow of sovereignty. She
cou.ld not then and cannot now, and never
can, coin money, make treaties, declare
war or conclude peace, or exercise any of
the attributes of sovereignty, or was ever
known or recognized as such by any
power on earth.
It Is claimed by this man's misguided
friends that his memory should be thus
embalmed as a tribute to his high charac
ter as a polished gentleman and gallant
soldier. The American woods have always
been and always will be full of such. But
life is too short and more important matter
too pressing to undertake the herculean
task of immortalizing them all, and es
pecially would we be excused from heading
the list with the name of Robert E. Lee.
But the crowning plea and the one most
pathetically urged in extenuation of this
act is that "he believed he was right."
"No thief e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law."
And no malefactor ever went upon the
scaffold who did not "believe he was right,"
or at least that there were extenuating cir
cumstances In his case.
If the Congress of the United States
should permit this thing to be done it will
have but one more act to perform, to be
consistent, and that is level the walls of
Arlington and every other Union soldiers'
cemetery in the land to the ground, and
make of their monuments and headstones
guttering for the streets, and turn those
heretofore hallowed spots into grazing
grounds for cattle and swine, for It will
have dishonored and insulted every patriot
heart that sleeps beneath.

FROM A NEW VIEWPOINT.
lefferson's Birthday Anniversary to Be
Celebrated April 13.
The 10th birthday anniversary of the
"author of the Declaration of Independ
ence" will be celebrated in this city
April 13 next by a dinner at the Hotel Bar
ton, under the auspices of the Thomas Jef
ferson Memorial Association of the United
States, of which Admiral Dewey Is the
president. The committee having the pro
posed dinner in charge contemplates mak
ing the event notable in many ways. It
will be the first time that the birthday an
niversary of Thomas Jefferson will have
been celebrated by treating him solely from
the standpoint of author of the great docu
ment he wrote, although the sentiments to
be spoken to as "toasts" will discuss him
from other sides.
On but three former occasions has the
birthday anniversary of Jefferson been cele
brated by a national gathering, and then
from the standpoint of a partisan, and in
each case taking the form of a dinner, as
is now contemplated. The first dinner was a
famous one, for among those attending
were President Andrew Jackson and every
member of the cabinet. Many volunteer
toasts were offered, some of them calling
forth strong expressions of approval, none
more so than that of President Jackson,
which was: "Our Federal Union: It Must
and Shall Be Preserved." This first dinner
was held at the then Indian Queen Tavern,
which was located upon the ground now
occupied by the Metropolitan Hotel, this
city.
The two subsequent dinners were held in
this city under the auspices of the Na
tional Association of Democratic Clubs,
both of these being attended by some of
the most prominent members of the demo
cratic party.
Although the speakers have not yet been
definitely agreed upon for the coming event,
the toasts have, and they are as follows:
"The Author of the Declaration of Inde
pendence;" "The Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial Association; Its Aims and Objects;"
"Thoma" Jefferson as a Promoter of Pub
lic Education;" "The Louisiana Purchase,"
"The Statue for Religious Freedom;"
"Jefferson as a Citizen of the Common
wealth,"
In a few days announcement will be made
of those who have accepted invitations to
respond to the toasts.
