Miles has gone to Porto Rioo, Merritt bas gone to Manilaj Shafter bas captnred Santiago, and Wheeler was with the big general and helped to bring about the big ovent. But wbere is Lee? Sampson was an nnknown qnantity foroed npon the navy by política] inflnenoe, and írotn being an nnknown qnantity has developed into a palpable and too well known cipher. Sohley won the naval victory over Cervera and Sampson turned np jnst in time to ulaim what Sohley had won. Thus it seems that politics bas had Kometbing to do with seonring positions of advantage, and perhaps there may be more or less of politics in the suppresgion of Lee. By right of a full knowledge of tbe country General Fitzhugb Lee shonld bave been given an opportnuity at the front in Cuba, bnt np to date tbat position bas been denied him. Is it possible tbat General Jjee is too popular with tbe people of the United Ktates to please the politioians at Washington? - Chicago Dispatch.
