ONE of the strongest elements of the
truly great in Gen. Grant was the read
iness with which he , the period of ac
tivity of greatness having passed , drop
ped quietly and naturally into the sphere
and routine of the quiet , ordinary citi
zen. A simple taste and without a
prompting of personal ambition , he was
as entirely removed in his last years
from stirring participation in public
events as if he had been the humblest
and poorest citizen. Had he been call
ed upon to disturb his retirement by the
assumption of public duties , he was too
unselfish not' to have done so with
promptness , if not cheerfulness. His
retirement , so far as he was concerned ,
was real and absolute. No latent pas
sion for public life stirred his breast ,
no disappointment that he was no't im
peratively called upon to once more take
a leading hand in events. But glad
that the people of this country had the
power of self-government , realizing that
in it no man is indispensable , he gladly
accepted the opportunity to exclude
himselt from office and prepare himself
for a gentle and peaceful and unembar
rassed decline of life. When his plans
miscarried and he found he had become
the prey of a scoundrel , he displayed
the same steady and philosophic com
posure that had always qualified him.
He gave up all a poor man could have
done no better and went to work to
retrieve his fortunes. Old and poor and
crippled as he was , he never faltered ,
but applied himself to earning daily
bread. Had not the cold cruel hand of
death been laid upon him he would have
made the same steady and solid success
of this task as he had of all the enter
prises of his life. It is in things like
these that Grant showed the unmistak
able elements of greatness. Without an
adviser , without a precedent , sustained
and guided by nothing but his own gen
ius , he accomplished all that he under
took , little as well as great things. As
we look back over his life it clearly ap
pears that the least are become the
greatest. State Journal.
IT is very amusing to see a hoide of
one horse democratic papers rushing in
where angels fear to tread , and with one
voice commend Lainar for opening the
trail to Texas cattle. They only applaud
because Lamar is a Democrat , and he
only opened the trail because the cattle
were Texan. When the cattle get to
the Kansas and Colorado lines Mr. La-
mar will strike a snag if those states
conclude to quarantine or refuse them
passage , as they now seem determined
; o do. It is true that the federal gov
ernment has the right to regulate inter
state commerce , but Mr. Lamar is not
the federal government , even if he does
try to smash to smithereens all the dem
ocratic doctrines and platforms of the
ast half century. Lamar and his cat
tle friends should take a tumble.
THE President has issued a proclama-
; ion , ( pursuant to the expressed opin-
on of Attorney General Garland that
; he leasts held by stockmen in the na-
; io were invalid , ) ordering all herds
and ranches appurtenances out of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country within
brty days. Just what disposition will
be made of the multitudes of cattle
which now range in the territory is dif
ficult to imagine , as the cry is very gen
eral about the over stocking of northern
ranges. The matter presents a number
of serious aspects.
A AVKITKU iu the Century wants to
enow what we shall do with our cx-Prcs-
%
dents. There docs not seem to be any
> ressing necessity to do anything more
than to let them alone. There is no'di-
inity that hedges about the presidential
office. The holding of it isvan incident
hat may occur iu the life of any citi
zen , and there is nothing in it to pre
vent him from afterwards taking care
of himself the same as he did before.
It is a good deal more pertinent to in
quire what shall we do with many men
who want to be Presidents.
