CHANT Omaha's ' Eloquent Orator Gives His Esti mate of Galena's ' Gallant Soldier. LINCOLN'S PRAYER FOR ONE SILENT MAN Sent In tha Hour of tlreutc.it Need , Ho Transcended llumuii Ideas hut Ful filled n Mission of Immense Iiupurtiinco. GALENA , 111. , April 27. Galena paid homage today to the memory of her great eoldier citizen , Grant. The city was In gala attire. Flags floated from all public build ings and every private house and business block was decorated In flags and bunting. The exercises of the day began at Z o'clock , when a train arrived from Chicago , bearing Hon. Henry D. Ustabrook of Omaha , orator of the day ; H. H. Kohlsaat , Thomas Nast , Melville I ? . Stone and others. A parade formed at the Illinois Central Blalloti and moved to Turner hall. The column was headed by Dr. U , F. Fowler , grand marshal , with forty mounted aides an I meirbers ot the Gr.md Army of the Kepubllc , Union Veterans legion , company M , Illinois National guard , and civic organizations were in line. At Turner hall , J. D. Drown , president of the day Introduced the , proceedings with a short speech. Rev. George D. Lindsay , the chaplain , offered prayer. Judge C. C. Kohl- Mat of Chicago made a short address , pre senting to the city of Galena In behalf of II. II. Kohlsaat the painting "Peace In Union , " by Thomas Nast , depleting- scene of.Lee's surrender. Mayor nermlngham re sponded for the city. The painting Is to hang In Grant Memorial ball In the public library building , Hon. Henry D. Kstabrook of Omaha delivered the oration ot the day. TUIUUTE TO SCOTT. Mr. Estabrook prefaced his address with a tender trlbuto to the late James W. Scott editor ot the Times-Herald , who was a native of Galena. Ills , acquaintance with tha dead I" * editor was feelingly referred to , and the character of the man and his love for Ga- loua as the embodiment of home was given la elniplo sentences of poetic prose. In terse , epigrammatic sentences , phrases pregnant with days' thought , the speaker pursued tbo history of America from the foundation of the government. "Bom , storm child of the revolution , whose baby rattle was war's musketry and drums , whoso lullaby waa sung by cannon In the sonorous music of a mb.it tied hosts. Tims \ > as thought lib crated , and became the mother of events. ' These events , In the resistless march o human progress , brought us face to face wltl the problem ot slavery. It Is ancient history People now may hardly realize the then Survivors ot that war nro but an organized reminiscence , but Grant , the boy who cu Ills name on the dcik In an Ohio schoo house , sword In hand had carved that nam on the Institutions of his country. "Tim will evaporate the letters embossed on yon iler monument , like dews embossed upon a llower. So be It. The name ot Grant I chiseled In time Itself. " Slavery and Its abolition engrossed th thought of statesmen. No party would hav hoped to win with "abolition" In Its plat form. Yet God know , Lincoln knew , Gran knew , the subconsclousness ot the peopl realized , that slavery should go. Men wer moonstruck. They were seized with a man ) ; to talk. They were possessed ot talking devils. There was a frenzy of gabble. Tbe mistook war for a conversazione. M'hllU th enemy supplied Itself with ordnance ou generals shot off their mouths. Whilst th | > l couth bombarded our forts , politicians bom barded each other with epithets. Now word are a sort of vapor the smoke of thought Our country was thadowed by them , ou counsels darkened with them. They rose * cloud by day and an obfjuscatlon ot the moo by night. Abraham Lincoln , In the solttud of hli soul , stretched forth Imploring1 hand * nd cried "I have wept Into Thine ears. Lord , how loug , how lone ? Lend mo Tb Manifest Tar tower la him wh s to be the executioner of Thy holy will. Irani me , 0 Lord , one silent man ! " And like 011 echo from heaven God an- wered "Grant. " Grant's early life , his distaste for Hie mil- tary , his modesty as a man , his Incapacity or business , his lack of address as a polltl- lan , were all gone over , and then the orator resented this picture of the true Grant : GHANT IN HIS BEST LIGHT. But Grant was not merely a silent man ; ie had the genius of ob-dlsnce Instant , inpllelt , unquestioning obedience. To ad ult a genius for obedience Is to concede a alent for command , and with Grant obedl- nce amounted to a superstition. In his nemolrs you may read these words : "Every me has ills Eupeiblitlons. One o mine is hat In positions of great responsibility every one should do his duty to the bcs > t of his ability where assigned by compe- ent authority , without application or the ise of Influence to change his position. " Jlsewhere he alllrms : "Persons obtaining mportnnt commands by application or po- Itlcal Intluenco are apt to keep a written record of complaints and predictions of de feat , which are shown In the case of dls- nstsr. Somebody must be responsible for heir failures. " You may call this a superstition If you dense. I call It the essence of wisdom , the courage of patience , the philosophy of a Christian. He carried his superstition into ) ractlce. Commanded to do a thins In a lartlcular mam.er , or with a particular ac quirement , he coiiHtrued the order as a awyer would construe a statute : The hliiB to be done was mandatory , the neans of accomplishment purely directory. Other olllcers would excuse their failure to Utempt the weather was bad the roads vcre impassable their orders called for mo- > lllzlng 10,000 troops , whereas they only had J.OJO " and so forth , and so on. Not so "irant. ' Vou can search the records In vain _ 'or one of Grant's excuses. "Through him , " says Mr. Nlcolay , "something was always accomplished. There was absence of excuse , complaint or delay ; always the report of a Insk performed. " I recall one Instance by way of Illustra tion , On the Cth of January. 1SB2. Halleck ordered Grant to reconnolter In the direc tion of Fort Henry. "Ho very careful , " added General Halleck , "to avoid a buttle ; we- are not ready for that. " Of course not ! We had never been ready Tor that since our experience at Hull Hun ! Halleek's order reached Grant on the 8th , and his reply was characteristic. After stating that he would move at once , he added : "The continuous rains for the last week or more have rendered the roads ex tremely bad , nnd will necessarily make our movement slow. This , however , will operate woise on the enemy. If he should come out to meet us , than upon us. " ILLUSTRATING HIS PERSISTENCY. Fellow citizens , as simple and common place na this statement seems. It was , at the time of Its utterance , a revelation , H voiced a sentiment of Abraham Lincoln which he had never ventured to avow. Grant , seemingly , was the only union olll- cer who realized that If conditions embar rassed us , they must be equally embarrass ing to the enemy , and were therefore neu tralized , If not eliminated. This answer of the obscure soldier pleased the prssl- , dent. Hut wait ! Thereconnolsance was made. On the 2Sth Grant telegraphed to to his commander : "With permission I will take Fort Henry on the Tennessee. " Hal- leek lecelved tha message nnd ruminated. The following day Grant telegraphed his offer In Identical language "With permis sion I will take Fort Henry on the Ten nessee. " Halldck was hypnotized Into as sent. Instantly , however , he began to dubl- tate. The position was of paramount Im portance Grant's command was not equal to It the president must concentrate the forces of the nation to make victory as sured. In the midst of these negotiations for more troops. Halleck , on the Cth day of February , was handed this laconic : "Fort Henry is ours. I shall take and destroy Fort Donelson on the 8th. U. S. Grant. " Who was this western brigadier who pro nounced doom In ten words and announced victory In four ? U. S. Grunt ? U. and S. were significant Initials. Perhaps they stood for Uncle Sam or United States. When , a little later , Fort Uonelson asked for terms of capitulation , nnd Grant's reply was "Unconditional surrender , " these words tilled out that name. U. S. ? what could they mean but "Unconditional Surrender ! " Fellow citizens , there Is something iu a name , when a grateful nation bestowa It , nnd JOiOUO.OUO people stand sponsors at the baptism. His notoriety was achieved , his abilities were admitted , his opportunities were secured , thenceforth he had only to succeed. WAS GRANT A GREAT GENERAL ? I have already proclaimed my Ignorance ot military science , but as a layman , I should aay that If to succeed Is any cri terion of generalship ; If a constant wllllng- nesn to lltiht on terms equal or unequal ; It to hunt the enemy Ilka a rabbit from one burrow to another ; If for four years to do nothing but light , and In all that time , from llelmont to Appomatox , lose not a sin gle battle It theee constitute generalship , then Grant was a prodigious general. Ant yet I have road criticisms from presumedly high sources which deny his claims to military greatne . The gravamen of the charge seems to be that Grant was too ob tuse to really know when he was whipped ! I nm inclined to concede the validity of this objection. I have sometimes met op ponents In a law suit with the tame clouded perception. My recourse has been to swear at the Judiciary. Was Grant a great man ? Here I claim the privilege of an opinion. Circumstances may have exploited his greatness and then tested it ; the marvel Is thut they did not destroy It. From the sudden height to which he attained generalissimo of our united armies to look down. Into the gulf from which he rose , would have made a smaller man delirious. Hut ho poised thsre , serene , undazzled , like an eagle mounting to his element. Simplicity may not be greatness ; naturalness may not bo great ness ; but Just so sure as God Is father of them both. Just so surely la no man truly great without them. For character Is as naked as truth. Clothes cannot be made to lit It. You can drape it with purple and line linen ; surround It with circum stance and pomp ; God reveals the man the world knows the tailor. WAS ALSO THIS STATESMAN. The war was finished and Grant stepped from one pinnacle to another from the na tional camp to the national capital. His presidency was during- the period of recon struction. I need not describe , much less exaggerate , the dltllculty and delicacy of his position they were painfully apparent. Hut after nil Just criticism of Grant's ad- nlnlstratlon ha-j been exhausted , it may yet be doubted If there was any living American who could have done as well. The sword was returned to Its scabbard. The hand which wielded It against the south was now stretched out to It In love and fellowship. The magnanimity of the man became the wisdom ot the statesman. Yes , Grant was great as a soldier , he was great as a statesman , he wus greatest as a man. You have not lorgotten that second Odyssy , when our Ulysses journeyed 'round the globe , the guest of the world at large ? Th flag of every notion courtesled to him In the air ; cannons thundered salvos of welcome ; the people shouted hosannas In the street not for General Grant , not for President Grant ; these he had been , but through them had revealed himself Grant the citizen. We will remember him for what he did ; we will remember him with tenderness for what he was . CHICAGO ItKMKHIIKK * UK.V. QUANT Sir ) . Grant and Mrs. tiartorli Itocelvo the VetoriiM.t.

Ex-Governor W. K. Cameron of Virginia responded to the toast , "Grant , Before Ap- idmatox , the Foe ; after Appomatox , the . ' 'rlend of the Confederate Soldiers. " He said In part : "There was a time when In he north as well as south. Grant's ability as a general and his magnitude as a man vcra alike misunderstood. But happy is he o whom Increasing knowledge increases the respect " and broadens the admiration. " Re- "errlng to the close of the war , , he said : "No .erms were required of them save the dis armament and a pledge against renewed hos- .Illty. No sacrifice was demanded which night have wounded the most delicate sense of honor. And by such gentle methods that Grant , bfter subduing the martial ability , conquered the gratitude of the confederacy.

Ho said ; ' 'It ' unsettled every thing and settled nothlogn It destroyed the commercial peace everywhere and pacified no body.

OCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS ta Organization for the State of Nebraska Perfected Last Evening , 'ART ' OF THE GENERAL SOCIETY oarcndiintt of Colonial Horona Are Alone iilgllle : Fraternal mid Historical Objects bought l'u { > erg Kcud and Ulllcvrg llcctcd ! < Last night In ono of the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association building perfected the organization of what the call a n.ew fraternaf , historical nd patriotic society , the Society of the 'olonlal ' Wars of the State ot Nebraska. There were present the sixteen charter mem- > crs , and when they left the room all had a new tltlo to prefix to their names , for tliey are all officers. The evening was rpent In mending and adopting a constitution , which iff era little from the constitution of the eneral Society of the Colonial Wars , In electing officers and In a general discussion ! tha objects of the society. In a few days articles of Incorporation will be filed with ho county clerk , and then an application 'or ' a charter will be sent to the generil so ciety , which meets In Baltimore on May 13. The olllcers elected are as follows : General , James Mills Woolworth ; deputy governor general , Julius Sterling Morton ; deputy gov ernor , William. Henry Alexander ; lieutenant governor. Lieutenant John Tallaferro Thomp- > on ; secretary , Clement Chase ; treasurer , William Hamilton ; registrar and historian , Fremont Nathan Jaynes ; chancellor , Charles iVlhert Goss ; trustees , Frank Tlernan Hamil ton ; Myron Leslie Learned , John Llnucln Baker , George Pickering Bemls , Major Charles Frederick Humphreys , John I'rentlss Lord , Champion Spaldlng Chase and Henry B. Haynos. These are the charter members. There are still the ofllces oC deputy secre tary , chaplain , surgeon and ono trustee to be filled. It Is expected that tha society will have a total membership of thirty when all eligible are In. The society Is very exclusive , for onlj such Americans are admitted as are able to trace their llneace without a break back to some soldier , sailor , member of a legislative body or some high provincial olllclal In the colonial peilod between the settlement ol Jamestown In May 13 , 1607 , and the battle o : Lexington , April 19 , 1776. The entire mem bership of the country Is less than 800. The society was founded In August , 1892 , In Ne\s York City , chiefly through the efforts of lion Charles H Murray. At the present time there ore societies In flve states , New York Pennsylvania , Mar > land , Massachusetts a in Connecticut and one In the District of' Co luiubla. Organizations have been completes In Illinois and Missouri , but they have nol been admitted to the general society as yet and there Is a society in Ohio In the same stage of formation as the ono In this stale From each state society a reprcssntatlvc , who Is called the deputy governor general , Is sent to the general society , which meets an nually. This year's meeting will be held In Baltimore on May 13. Tha organization o the general society was completed In New York City In May , 1893. The object of the society an outlined In papers read by Lieutenant Thompson am Mr. Hayncs last night are threefold fra ternal , historical and patriotic. The princlpa object U to honor the men who worked HI ; heroes In the colonial period and startec America on Its course ot prosperity. Men whoso forefathers worked thus side by aid must necessarily become more fraternal to ward each other. Again , It Is proposed t bring to light records bearing upon till period of American history and to preserv them. Finally , another great purpose Is t care for the future and especially to lease : the dangers of free Immigration , either b education or restriction. To further thci objects the meetings ot the society are us ually held on the anniversary ot some prom ! nent event In colonial history. The organization of the Nebraska soclet was brought about chiefly through the el forts of Messrs. Alexander , Goes , Jaynes an Lieutenant Thompson.
