It Is so ea*y to apeak anecringly <tf bar Wauhlugto* legislators. It 1* »o easy to call the United Stntm senate the “millionaires' assembly" or the “clutrof the old fogies." It Is so ensy to say the bouse of representatives Is a collection of nonentities, who are ruled for the most part by one or two men who crack the p*rty whip over the barks of tbelr fellows. But. friend#. I believe that by such speeches Injustice Is often done to able men. We have a right to assume that men who have been chonen by their fellow citizens to represent them In congress *re worthy men. and when we disparage them we disparage the citizens Who elected them. Thy first grjst bat les are not fought otjJ JvWrfi^rord and cannon, bwt with tongue and pen In legislative assembly. The civilised worst knew Spain was doomed long before Commodore Dewey's gun* spoke In Manila fearbor. When, on June IS. 1896. congress anthorlV-d the secretary of the United btates treasury to Issue f400.000.000 worth of Ix.nds for national defense, all the ultimate outcome of the Spanlsh-Ameriean war was derided. except how the treaty of peace stionM he signed. Tbe outcome of tbe terrific conflict of 18C1 to 1HU5 would never have been tbe maintenance of the Union If congress hud, not loyally supported President Lincoln during that eventful period.

It Is s very grave question whether Abraham Lincoln could not better have parted with almost any one of bis major genera la than he could have lost that genius of rqjlroad organizing. Thomas Alexander .Scott. It Is a very grave question whether U. 8. Grant would not have been deposed from his command and aent back home In disgrace had it not been for Charles A. Dana. who. aa tbe personal representative of Lincoln, went to the front and exponed and denounced the false scandal* which were being circulated about tbe “silent warrior" of tbe west It is a very grave question whether Salmon F.

In rids Memorial day address w« would not omit tbe need of recognition d Je to tbe mtoMem of the botre cburdaBS as well ss the chaplains who labored In the field hospital and by the wounded and moaning men who bad tbe pallor of death upon tbelr cheeks the nlgbt after tbe baSle. We would pi«ae Enin dike 'Henry Ward Beecher of Brooklyn add Moaes D. Hoge of Rlchmand and Dr. Palmer of New Or ieuna. These men were never Identified with any one particular regiment nr brigade, yet in their utterances of Inspiration. In tbe divine comfort which they carried to the bereft homes, in thetr words of faith and love, which through the printed page went to the boys In the camp, they became mighty evangelists of light, mighty gospel jnesneugnrs for God nnd their native

land.

Without any dodbt, Robert E. Lee ■was one eff the finest character* America ever produced. Mould yon like to know what wu* to me the greatest act «f that grand life? J find it not In hla actions Iwfiure tbe war. I find It not to his wonderful equipoise and gentleoeaa and marvelous powers during the war. Rut after Appomattox tbe chief nobmty of that life glowed before hla fellow countrymen-ua a single star might outshine all tM other stars to the heavenly firmament After tbe was over a rich financial company of New York city, to order to catch the aoathera trade through Robert E. Lee’s popularity, offered Lse $25,0U0 per year at* salary to become it* manager. What said General Lee? “No, I can-

not come I must stay among my

people to help teach them to become true Christian citizen*, to help teach them how to have faith in tbelr God and patriotic love for- tbelr whole laud." Robert E. Lee turned his back at that time upon tbe must princely salary then offered in the city of New York. In order to teach bis people to , lore a reunited country and to have faith to God be accepted a bumble position as tbe president of one of Vlrgtobt's bankrupt school* Rather than Uve for mercenary gain be quietly and yet nobly and uasalfiahly went la Ova a men* the shattered walla of Wash-

Though they had the trial In tbe night, the^ were careful not to pronounce tentence UH after sunrise, that Its legality might not be questioned. Even the sentence tha* pronounced was Illegal, for the law forbade passing a death sentence till the day after the trial. Furthermore their law forbade the trytoK °t criminal cases on the day before tbe Sabbath. Thla waa Friday, the day before the Jewish Sabbath. "Delivered Him up to Pilate:” The Sanhedrin In the time of Christ had no power to Inflict the death penalty. Their Roman conquerors would not permit It. to their action waa practically only a recommendation. Pontius Pilate had been procurator of Judaea for four or five years, at this time under commission from Tiberias Caesar. Read at thla point John 17:19-72, which ehows that the chief priests tried to get Pilate to ratify their action without looking Into tb® matter. Pilate would have nothing t«J do with auch procedure and Insisted upon a charge. The Sanhedrin had condemned Jesus for blasphemy, but that is not what they told the Roman governor. They told him that the charge was of conspiring against Rome. “Art thou the King of the Jews:” A plain question. "Guilty, or not guilty?" Thou sayest: ” "Yea, 1 am the King." This was a summary of Jesus' answer. The full conversation. In which He explains to Pilate what He means by being a King, la found in John 18:33-38. After this Pilate pronounced Jesus not

guilty.

Pilate waa not a man wicked beyond any that have lived since. He had pronounced Jesus Innocent: he wanted to have Him set at liberty. But he did nag it to bring upon himself the enmity of the angry priests, for there was no defying that they were «tm very powerful In Judaea It occurred to him tha: he could avoid the decision entirely by sending Jesus, who was a Gslilaean, to» Herod, the governor of Galilee, who happened to be in the city. Herod was glad to see Jesus, for the Interview would bring him a new kind of diversion. But In that encounter Jesus wax king and Herod clown. Herod realized It, and In chagrin sent Je*us baric to Pilate. In mock state, bnt uncondemned. Read the account of Luke 33:3-12. Luke 23:13-16 tells of Pilate's formal acquittal of Jesus. He should have released Him. but Instead He takes another step In the sray of compromise; he sill scourge Him to pacify them, and then release Him to pacify his own conscience. The priests would not bear to It 'The question had Anally come to this, whether he would save Jesus or aave himself.” He would save Jeans if he could;, be must save himself In any case. It was a trial of strength between Pilate. In Jesus’ behalf, and the chief priests against him. '‘Barrabas: - “A notable prisoner” (Matt 37:16). "who for a certain Insurrection made In the city and for murder” (Luke 39:19). was “lying bound with them that had made Insurrection.” He eras a robber or brigand (John 18:40). “Win ye that I the King of gfee Jews:" An attempt to get the crown (not the ~ 1) on hla side. Pilate knew that had a good deal of hold on tha the common people and that that was. one reason the priest* hated him. Raad here Matt 37:19, the dream of Pilau’s

Ua.

The chief priests stirred op the multttnde:" There are not srords to the English language with which to adequately characterize the spirit of theae champions of orthodoxy, and tt need not be done. Bat think of the state of re-
