GEORGE WAsHINGrnN.

One hundred years ago to-day Gen
eral Washington became President
Washington, at the city of New York
at the moment of his inauguration
the form OF government under which
the American people nave since lived
became for the first time living or
ganism.
His entry into New York was over
the same route followed yesterday by
President Harrison. An effort was
made at civic display, which for those
days was quite notable.
But what was it to the marvellous
exhibition of flags and bunting, of mu-
sic and cannon salvOs. of gorgeously
decorated fleets, and immense outpour-
ing of people that greeted President
Harrison yesterday? 1t was what the
New York of 1889 was to the Gotham
of 1899.
If the first president could retnrn
and behold the magnificent display,
and witness the ceremonies OF to-day
concentrating his services to the ma
ton, what would be his amazement!
Although the most renowned general
of his time, the title never chung t.
him. Although the most Industrious
of all the presidents, nobody ever
thinks in speaking of him, of calling
him President Washington. Though
first in war and first in peace, the titles
indicative of his primacy in either are
never heard in connection with his
name.
Not only in America, but the world
over he is known as George Washington
plain George Washington, without the
addition of general oftnteSident.
Perhaps this plain and familiar way
of speaking of him is his greatest dis
tinctIon, seeing how common a thing
has military title become i'll these
piping times of peace. Generals
colonies and majors are as plentiful
nowadays as autumn leaves in Val
ambrose.
Accustomed as the people are t.
hearing them, the keener is the salts
faction with which they recall mem
cries of George Washington, the
Father of his Country. The Joshua of
old has become the George of oul
own DAVIS

A Sad incident.

CHICAGO, Ill. May lone of the
saddest incidents of yesterdays parade
was witnessed by about 500 persons,
who had gathered in front of the head
quarters of the fire engine company
No. II at eighty west Lake street,
Captain Z. Anderson. and a dozen
members of the company were at work
decorating the front of the building.
Suddenly man thrust his head from
u W indow of the forth story of the
building east of the enging house and
after noticing the york of decoration
announced himself as an anarchist. He
reviled the stars and strips and the
decorators in the most insulting man
ner. Little attention was paid to the
man, however, until he fioated the red
flag of anarchy from the window and
announcing it as 'myflag-my colors, !"
Then the crowd became excited and
angry and loud crys were heard
Tear down that flag or You Will be
sorry you ever fioated it. +" was cried to
him from a hundred threats. See
in bad humor, and that
several men had Offered to climb up
the fire escape on the front of the build
ing and tear the rag down, the man
secured an axe and taking position in
the window declared he would kill any
man who touched his flag" The
crowd was almost frenzied and con-
stantly grew larger. Half dozen
men exhibited rev divers and offered to
drive the wretch from his position in
the window long enough to tear the an
archist colors down. While the debate
was in progress, as TO best thing to be
done, Captain Anderson appeared on
the building with rope in his hand to
the end of which was attached an iron
hook He lowered the hook until il
came beneath the staff Of the red flag
and then with sudden jerk upward
dislodged the unsightly banner. 1t fell

had been torn into a hundred frag-

emerged from the stairway
and came out upon the
sidewalk. He was seized by dozen
men and some one cried out, Get q

warranted charges or insinuations
published in democratic papers con-
corning the rascally tricks of federal
officials in Oklahoma. We have seen
no such charges in democratic papers,

were reckless enough to make them.
OF course the government Is no more
TO blame for the scurvy rascallty of its
officers down there than it is for the
bulldozing of the cowboys or the pres
ence of the sterile red sand in such
great quantities. The same things
would be done If Cleveland were pres
