The more study the character of George.
A very curious incident occurred in the
life of George Washington which now ap-
pears In print for the first timei 1t seems
that George was given a small hatchet by
his father when a boy, and in an unguarded
moment the youth cut down a favorite
cherry tree belonging to his father. On the
return OF tho old gentleman he discovered
the act, and, calling his son to him, asked
how It occurred. George did not know at
first what to say, but finally he looked
braVely up in his fathers face and said:
Father, cannot tell lie. l did it with
my little Ratchet"
have often wondered that an anecdote
like this. concerning a great man, should
have remained 50 long unknown. l am in
d0bted for the above facts to friends of de-
ceased.
The monument to George Washington is a
deserved tribute to a great man. 1t is no
slouch Of job to be president the first time
and pay Off the help that it takes torun such
q government as this. Let those who think
IL Il easy to be president try to write an
annual message once and see how their
brains will throb. A president must not
only shine in society and be able to stand on
one leg and shake hands with every ten-cent
official In the Union, but he must be quiet
and gentlemanly in his home life and good
prOyider in his household. Added to all
this he must be able at a glance to distin-
guish between fotilla and a reciprocity.
he must know how to spell at sight and he
able to sign his namo so that it will look like
. birds eye view OF a stroke of paralysis.
He must be firm with foreign powers, and
still he must govern hfs temper and avoid the
unnecessary shedding of other peoples blood.
He should be good business man, a good
statesman, a gentleman and scholar.
We can readily see that a successful Presi-
dent cannot be picked up on every street.
or course, he has a good deal of help. but he
alone Is responsible. George Washington
was all that was great, but the most success
full thing he did was to quit at the right time
and to die before he stopped over This
is powerful lesson to some of our public
men not to overdo the matter Of longevity.
Long life is all right in other walks of life,
but in politics it may be overdone.

George Washington attracted great deal
Of notice, even in his time, by telling the
truth. Think what curiosity he would be
now. And yet truth is within the reach Of
ALL We may accustom ourselves to almost
anything if we begin gradually and work
our way up TO it. George Washington to-
day would no doubt be regarded as a freak
Of nature, and yet he told the truth without
effort and without his notes. He used to en-
tertain his friends through the long winter
evenings by allowing them to tie bis hands
and feet and then blindfold him, and on top
Of all this ne would tell the truth for hours
at a time. He was what we call in science
an anomaly. But he had to give up at last,
and finally he yielded to the unequal strain
and death ensusd. People who contemplate
a political career with more or less truth in
It should see that they have strong constitu-
tons TO begin with.

Dill lNJei-
Now that workingmen are clearing away
the scafolding from the tallest monument
Ia the world, we are led to inquire, who
was George Washington He was the father
Of his country for one thing. He gave this
country start that it has never fully re-
covered from. He was also first in peace,
61st in war, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen He did not take position on
account of the salary. At that time the paw
was not large, yet George attended to the
work we'll He would get up before day
light and work till late into the night. He
very seldom took a holiday, and used TO
work right on through the 22d of February
IS he did other days George Washington
was different from some of our modern
statesmen in many respects. He scorned to
enter convention and grapple with the
delegates all day. He did not seek to be
president so hard as some have since done.
He simply placed himself in the hands Of
his friends and let nature take her course.
The more study the character Of George
Washington the more regret his untimely
death. We need him almost every day. Ii
II he could see how badly his orphan coun-
try needs him sometimes, it seems as though
he would almost open the door Of the Mount
Vernon smoke house and come forth.

THE MARKETS.
Everybody Looking for Developments
in Stocks.

NEW York, July 14.-The situation to-
night remains unchanged from yesterday;
everybody is looking for Developments
during the next few days, and the market
continues dull and featureless in conse
quence. No progress having been made in
the meeting at Chicago, 1t was not factor
to-day as regards values; but the coal sltua-
tion receives most attention Just at present,
and further reports Of rate cutting affected
the coal stocks unfavorably, enabling the
room traders to break LackawannI and
Jersey Central. The sharp advance at the
close yesterday was discouraging TO the
bears and gave heart to the advocates OF
higher prices, the effect being seen In this
mornings opening; but the market is at
best scalper's market for the present, and
the fluctuations have little significance
The market continued dull and feature
less throughout the remainder of the day,
being alternately firm and heavy, and finally
closing steady close to opening figures.
Final prices generally show advances over
those of yesterday OF small fractions on the
active list, while the Norfolk and Western
stocks, which were remarkably strong,
show gains Of II per cent. each
Money on call Is easy ranging from I to

SENATOR'S KICKING
Against Night sessions-Thoy Object 10
Furnishing the Corpse for tho Noxt
Conversational Funeral,


Furnishing the Corpse for tho Noxt
Congressional Funeral.
Mr.. Hale called the attention of the Sen.
ate to the fact that the Congressional Record
yesterday morning only contained report of
the Senate proceedings up to about 10 o'clock
of the preceding days session, which had
run until past midnight. This was unusual.
1t was only when all night sessions were
held that such thing happened before. lie
did not know where the fault was-whether
with the reporter or the prlnter-but he
hoped hat this would not occur again.
Mr.. Platt stated that the Record OF yes
terday morning contained so pages equal
to over 200 pages of an ordinary book) of
matter that was reported and written out
In long hand on Tuesday. The Senate had
been In session thirteen hours on Tuesday.
IL was expecting too much Of the reporters
to expect that they should have all the man
uscript ready In time for the printer, al
though he did not know whether in this
case the manuscript had been ready or not.
But there was limit to human endurance.
He was opposed to these long night sessions.
II the Senate could not get business from
the other house early anough, so that II
could attend to 1t properly AMI adjourn at
tne period Wnen Congress should adjourn,
then he thought the Senate had better sit
only during the regular, ordinary business
hours Of the day. Senators should not ruin
their health with night sessions for the mere
purpose OF hurrying up the day of final adj
journment. In other words, he did not want
the Senate to furnish the corpse for the next
congressional funeral.
Mr.. Cockrell agreed with the senator
from Connecticut. Night sessions were not
productive of good. lie believed that the
Senate, meeting at II q, m, should adjourn
at 6 p. M. They would not hasten the day
OF final adjournment by night sessions.
