LAFAYETTE AND STEUBEN.
How Their Descendants Failed 10 Dwell
Together i'm Unity Here.

Lafayette and Steuben fought side by
side in the Revolutionary War for American nde-
pendence, animated by q common spirit of patriot
ism in behalf of young struggling Republic
The United States, appreciating the valued services
of those eminent men and their compatrots, in
vited their respective descendants from Germany
and France TO accept the inequalities of the now
giant Republic In celebrating the centennial an
niversary of the surrender of CORVALLIS, in the
forced accomplishment of which their distin-
guished ancestors took prominent part
SOME TEN YEARS AGO
the nation of Lafayette proclaimed that the grand
army of In belle France would move upon Ger
many, and within a brief period the gallant
soldcry of that mercurial nation would partake of
their frogs and Bordeaux wine "unter der Linden
in Berlin. MAN proposes, God disposGs." Owing
TO some few unexpected distractions met with
while on the way, a change of programme was sud-
denly effected, and the German soldiers, steubens
compatriots, INDUCED In their beer aud pretzes OH
the Champs Elyscs in Paris instead.
THE HOSTILE SPIRIT ESGESDERED
by that unpleasantness still raucors in the breasts
of the military officers of those natiOnalities, and
while the surface indications are apparently tran
quill, there exists in the depths an irreprcssible
conflict. In the mingling of the French and Ger
man guests at the Yorktown celebration, and dur
ing the preceding and subsequent festivities 1t
required the utmost diplomatic suavity on the
part of the State Department to allay
the iealousics which occasionally cropped out
between the respective delegations. After their
Joint greeting and hospitabe entertainment by the
Government at the National Capital, they were
sent upon different lines of travel and sght-sce-
ing throughout the country-a diplomatic stroke
of policy by the State Department-and they are
not likely TO meet each other again on this side OF
the Atlantic Ocean.

In referring to the probable makeup
of General Arthur's Cabinet, Harpers Weekly says :
"The gentlemen selected will undoubtedly be
taken from those Republicans who, could they
have controlled tho Chicago convention, would
not have nominated General Garfield" OF course
they wouldn't, nor did General Garfield have
man in his Cabinet who would have nominated
Garfield If that member had controlled the coli
ventiOn, Blaine would have nominated Blaine.
Window would have voted for Window. Kirk
wood for Blaine Lincoln and James for Grant
General Garfield was nominated by men who
hliled TO control the convention for themselves,
and who, had they controlled 1t, would have nom
mated somebody else than General Garfield. As
there was not an original Garfield man in General
Garlields Cabinet, President Arthur's changes
have no special Significance as selections In favor
of certain other Candi dates,--NelD York Sun !.

Another Triumph for Washington.

II Is reported that General Grant will not
have to buy a single piece OF furniture for the
first floor Of his new house in New York, because
he has brought home enough presents from his
tour around the world to completely set II out
This is very sweet and touching, and establishes
the mans title to be considered the monumental
beggar Of the nineteenth century. Inasmuch rs
those who ought to know tell us that these cnor
mously expensive presents are never made abroad
except in the idea Of their being returned in about
equal value by the recipient who would otherwise
consider hmsclfhumiatod thereby. Americans
must blush to consider In what state their name
and reputation must bolefl all around the world by
the man Of whom the common saying is that he
would accept anything from a bull.pup to n brick
house, but who, OF course, has no means to return
In kind princely generosity. y.-SgHdag Herald.
The perusal Of the foregoing cannot fail
TO arouse a feeling of pride that n journal
in our own beloved city has established
a claim TO have published the meanest
paragraph ever written about General
Grant. His illustrious career, military
and civil, so excited the worlds admira-
ton that wherever he went in Europe
and Asia he was greeted as the foremost
man of all this world, and presents were
everywhere rendered him by those who
desired to be remembered by him. Not
to haveaccepted them would have savored
Of affectdtion and of churlishness. The
mind that can he rendered so unhappy as
the writer in the Sunday Herald appears
to be over these manifestations of respect
for our great citizen must be constructed
npon basis singuIarly free from gener-
Osity. In the blindness of his rage he is
inconsistent enough TO say in one sen.
tence that Expensive presents are mere,
made abroad except on the idea of their
being returned in about equal value,
while in the next sentence he says that
General Grant has no means to make any
soturn for the gifts he has received. We
qdoted the HerdLfs article, not as being OF
any consequence, but because of the in
genuity of its meanness, our object being
to show that Washington cannot be ex-
oolled even in that line.

Intimidation.

Erastus Wiman, president of" The Great
Northwestern Telegraph Company of
Canada" has addressed the following let
ter TO this office under date of New York,
October 90:
Publisher Of THE REPUBLICAN,, Washington, D. c.:
DEAR SIR: have copy Of your paper, in which
appears several columns OF an attack by Mr. Peck
secretary ofthe Mutual Union Telegraph Company,
upon me- think you owe it to me 10 insert my
reply thereto, innsmuch rs the attack contained
many libcls upon me, for which | can and will
hold you responsible in II court Of law. 1t would
be impossible for you TO justify such expressions
as are therein conhlinedT -f>,ope, therefore, You
will do me the favor to insert the enclosed, that
may, in some sense, be treated justly. Unless you
do me this favor shall certainly deem It my duty
to insist upon justification at your hands for what
you have published regarding me.
To which The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
Printing and Publishing Company makes
the following reply:
The REPUBLICAN published some days
ago, as matter of public interest state
ment by Mr.. Peck, secretary of the Mu-
tual Union Telegraph Company, with re-
gard to certain practices alleged to have
been INDUCED in by Mr., Wiman in the
interest OF the western Union Telegraph
Company. We are in the habit of pub
fishing communications signed by repu-
table citizens on any matter Of general in
lerest.
If Mr.. Wiman had made his counter
statement and sent it 10 us for publica-
ton, unaccompanied by any threatening
letter, il would have been cheeriully pub
lished, That would have been fair play.
But since Mr.. Wiman has seen fit
TO send us an imperative order to
print statement from him, and has
couched his demand in language intended
to intimidate, he is hereby informed that
the thing cannot be done that way. TIE
REPUBLICAN, will do kind thing at any
time upon II civil request, but never upon
an insolent command. Our motto is
millions for defense, but not cent fol
tribute"

deeply moved. He looked thin, worn, and
anxious; his face had feyerish glow and its
muscles visibly twitched as he bent low down,
first on one side, then the other, blessing the

ture, and from time 10 time throwing himself
back IN his chair ana gazing upward, MS il praying
