Show i when mien general grant drew his liner around rort donellon Done laon its as the troop were taking up their positions a scout reported tl at a good food many men were apparently leaving the tort fort and that thai one or two had been captured grant considered the question tor for a moment and then asked whether their haver sacks were empty or tull full the scout reported report wl that they wre were every one filled grant at once recognized that it was a retreat ri treat and as rapidly as lilt orders could be sent to the en I 1 commanders what was intended as a siege was turned into an immediate assault and the works tell fell in that little littie incident grant showed that within him were all the elements ot of a great general some historians think that was the very turning point in his career that Is that it singled urn out from the other officers as one who not only had the science of war in hit trails but the intuitions of a a great commander patrick henry wa was 3 a bright but lazy lawyer in virginia until in one supreme moment when the timid ones we were re halting and the doubtful ones were hesitating lag mating the inspiration of the hour kindled in patrick henrys brain and when he cried give me liberty or alve me death it changed th the whole face of affairs affa firs those the 36 inspirations which come at rare intervals to great souls sometimes seize upon a whole people two years ago a plurality 0 of the people or of utah were seized that way find and prompted to elect mr bir J L rawlins it a delegate to congress when one thinks what would have happened had bad mr haw rawlins ans been overlooked lie he trembles because according to sir Raw linss friends c except tor for him we should have been overrun with a ute invasion we should have had no statehood we should not even have had I 1 a proposition to put an ad valorem valoree tax of 0 20 per cent on lead and the university site would still have been a part pan of tho the military reservation east of 0 this city the devout person when such transformations are made says that there Is an overruling providence which sit at a critical time reaches down takes a waiting people by the hand and leads them on to glory and to happiness that Is the lovelys level part of mr air Raw linss career it not only gives men admiration adral ration for him but it expands their faith in divine providence true it was a good while before bedfor a his many excellences were dl covered e d but so a it was with patrick henry so it was with grant had there been no wa war r grant might have died in the tannery unknown outside of a small circle 0 o of f friends had the time not been ripe to tor ga a revolution patrick henry would have continued to practice law and have died in fit obscurity so had there not been an opportunity tor for ft a great creat brain ind and a great patriot last winter to have exalted Minli h melt m elt elf and utah mr air rawling might not have made a tame fame beyond or ui course bourgo hla his enemies point to the fad fact that in a pet he gre owned IU he had bad a precedent tor for that under the thunders thunder of 0 Llo the inas sive brain of napoleon grow grew stunned lie ile sat eat for two hours with hla his tace face in Ms it hands Sam something ething of 0 the premonition a 0 f feat was upon him perhaps some ot of the chill ot of the approaching winter had bad benumbed sonae solas of oc his inner faculties As many OIL his in marshala sirs haIll go as dared gathered ea around him and they NO to him that the center of 0 the enemy had been beaten down by the artillery that a charge ol of tho the old guard would win the day but he sat eat there it if I 1 lose my army today to day to win this victory what will I 1 fight tho the enemy with to so that indecision ot of mr rawlins i had a mighty precedent in the grant corsican Cor alcan and so as we trace mr Ilaw lInss cn as reer everywhere we see oe how opportune was hla his

help rip indeed with the delegate siding with the Color adans that ute inva ilon has repeatedly been beaten back fay y a taw few earnest men inen and one news erser it la is true that the reason this h sill for statehood was called up was such republicans cg a seniors houp dubols dubois Teller Carey and others other 3 declared lec lared to senator faulkner that it he ltd ild not report the bill they would it 2 true that when eaulkner raul kner agreed to lo 10 lt it it was only on condition that the would not move to makil immediate instead of put pui ling it off nearly two years it la Is true that bat the labor or of the war Ts D 0 narl ment to consent to ceding tic the university plat was done by others rather ann mr air rawlins that the full extent it hla his labors wea was to introduce the bai bill and ask tor for its passage after the ITIL roii work had all been done it Is 13 true trite the thai t ils als labor in behalf of 0 silver la amounted mounted simply imply to a in minutes speech eh a good ciany men inight have fiade it la 13 trus true that thai his hl i labors in benalt of 0 leid lead were impotent ind it would havo have b bein ezit a lasting lorline could lie ho have had hla his way it la Is true that the restoration ot of the hurch property was inaugurated by judge fudge zane first and only required a motion on the part of mr air rawlins to arry it out it 11 la is likewise true that with the granting of 0 statehood the surrender suri aur i of 0 the claim of 0 the government 2 against utah territory had no not t an 0 P portent I 1 in n congress c and all it needed was a motion to include it in the bill it is true we vo believe that the apportionment tion Jon ment which gave to the all the advantages in selecting a 0 constitutional convention was made here i ty by the chiefs of 0 the party par ly arid and simply i at anad 1 IA I A out without protest by air rawlins but that does not in the least remove the fact act that the calling of mr rawlins rawlans to 0 o the Delegates delc blia was like the aa al lins of 0 abraham lincoln to the residency presidency because the rates fates saw wit what at was in him and decreed that in it a cri als which was to try the nations vors vcra life a master hand band should be at the helm and a supreme soul on guard and we ale are satisfied that any one who would woul d icek to take one laurel from mr raw iless ample brow or who would be ek io to intimate that any one else could fill his place would only be influenced by jealousy or partisan spite and still it Is hard to give up such a man as he and let him take the th risk ot of sunstroke and typhoid in washington still we be lieve lleva it would be better for or the people to athor eathor around him and send some gentleman sent leman who can better belter bo be spared ind and reserve mr air rawlins to this place here the people can watch over him feast east their eyes upon him and every night go to sleep with the ot of knowing that
