THE CONSTITUTIONAL Fathers.

The annexed history Of Washington's inau.
guration will, therefore, be a sort Of advance
programme Of the ceremonies on the coming
Dth Of April The preliminary sketch will,
% b hoped, enable young readers 10 compre-
bend the peculiar difficulties confronting the
6ryt president, and In tho discussions which
preceded and the words In which the agree
unent to the charter Of the national govern.
n,ent was couched may be found the germs
Of our national policy and the Emergencies Of
our political parties.
Il u conceded by all Observers Of that time
that the constitution never would have OBJ
tained the sanction Of the needed states had
there not been a certainty In the public mind
that Washington would be the first president
and therefore give to its terms an executive
construction which would be binding for all
TINA Washington was therefore In pccu-
lar sense the principal creator Of the new
government. But the causes for local jeal
ousy which went so near to defeating his object
may here be briefly and profitably reviewed.
II should be borne I'm mind that the colonies
were founded by men representing at least
-four great branches Of the Caucasian
stock and six distinct and somewhat un-
friendly religious bodies The Puritan, Dutch
and Ewedish Calvinists and Lutherans; tho
English Quakcrs. Catholics and Episcopalians,
and lastly the French Huguenots. The Irish
Of the early immigration were nearly oil non
Celtic and Protestant, while the Palatine Ger
mans who located in Pennsylvania and the
valley OF Virginia did not in any sense con.
stttuts an alien political party.
Necessity compelled some sort Of union
from the first, but It was self evident that no
ono Of the local religious elements could pre-
van over all the others, and thus by most
fortunate accident there was from tho first
complete divorce Of church aad state under
tho old government, while the anomaly was
presented OF union Of the two In some of
the states till long after the adoption Of the
present purely secular national constitution.
Jeaioustes inherent In the religions Of the
original stocks were very slowly eliminated,
and those growing out OF local interests in
trade and navigation were most persistent OF
all Hence the instincts Of the people looked
to man OF impartial temper to hold the lust
balance OF the constitution between state
rights and Capitalization - between the
south, the west and the east--between the In.
terests OF manufacturing, commerce and
navigation. There was but ons man IA WHOM
the confidence Of the vast classes and sections
centered, native OF the south, who had won
ms hrt great laurels in the north, aud tha,
1nhn was George Washington

The Regents of the Nevada State
University are invited to read the
subjoined article from the Omaha
Bee:
As was to be expected, the report
of the inspector appointed to exam
inc into the agricultural depart
ments of the schools and colleges
receiving Government aid is far
from being encouraging. With few
exceptions the colleges of the vari-
GUS States to which the Government
has contributed valuable land grants
for the purpose OF teaching farm
er's sons the principles of agricul-
ture, have fallen far short of their
duties. They have drifted away
from their original design. They
fail to educate for the farms, and
their tendency is 10 discourage
young men from the pursuit OF ag-
riculture, by their meagre facilities
and lack OF interest in the study OF
agriculture. The attention of Sec
rotary Rusk has been attracted to
this abuse Of the bounty of the
Government. Ii is more than like
" that the new Secretary OF Agrl-
culturs will force these institutions
to comply more strictly with their
obligations to the Government, ard
make the agricultural colleges some
thing better than a soft berth for
sGperanratsd politicians.

men were injured. When the re-
porters called, Mr.. Irwin Scott as
sured them that he knew nothing Of
it, yet subsequent developments
showed that he knew all about it.
Ii someone were to insinuate that
Mr.. Scott was liar, he would be
exceedingly angry, and deny it in
the stoutest possible manner. A
man who thinks he can throw a re-
porter off an accident like that must
be an ass of high degree. And even
if he succeeded IN foeling anyone,
what in heavens name would be
accomplish by the success OF his
durlicity?
