Presidentsare scarcely expected to

striking enough, though not COM

successors in Office:
The later conception of national

conception so ALLEN to the character
and conduct of Washington and his
associates that it seems grOtesque even
to speak of it. 1t would be interesting
to imagine the first President of the
United States confronted with some
ono who had ventured to approach him
upon the basis of what is now comm on
" known as practical politics. But
that conception is impossible"
The bishop here quoted from a letter
OF Washington to a friend who sought
. pledge of office during the campaign,
refusing. any such pledge, declaring
that .neither the ties of blood nor
friendship when in Office should sway
his judgment.
The speaker then proceeded to con-
trast such political methods with
those Of to-day, and in scathing Ian
RusQe. declared: eve have exchanged
Washingtonian dignity for Jefferson
ian simplicity, which was in truth
only another name for Jacksonian vul-
garity."
The bishop will doubtless be
criticised for his outspoken and
fearless comparisons. But little
will he care. Blood tells, and the
Bishop is a descendant of intel
lectual and courageous Federalist
families. They were ardent friends
Of Washington and supporters of
the Federal Constitution. DR.. Mott,

an occasion where little beyond in

said.

that the compliment was given to

most men pass into senility, the
poem is strong in sense and senti-

masterpiece of eloquence, and will

American States was consummated
when Washington was inaugurated.
Not without struggle with adverse
ideas and forces was the Nation
brought to its birth. The States had
found their achieved independence a
barren ideality, so far as being able to
maintain their blood bought blessing
was concerned. But upon the form of
Union to be made, or government es-
tablished there was wide diversity
Of judgment. The singular feature
of the struggle was that the smaller
states who most needed the defense and
fostering care Of a strong government,
were the most fastidious, and trouble
some in arranging the terms of the
Union. The attempted government
| under the "Articles of Confederation
was = pitiable failure. And yet some
of the weaker States insisted on re-
tanning the very defects which brought

Termination. 1ha larger minded and
more patriotic statesman had TO con-
tend with narrow and contemplate
provincialism with men who selfIshly
sought to magnify the local govern
ment. and to give nothing but the
| semblance of power and dignity:to the
collective organization of the whole
country. They were for Withholding
from that government the very ele-
| ments which have made it powerful in
the rgrowth and development of the
nation.
Washington, Franklin, Adams.
Hamilton, and Madison are the names
which shine illustrious in the forma-
tive period Of the government. 10
their wisdom, persistence, power OF
persuasion and invincible patri'
otism We owe the existence of the Con-
stitution and the resultant blessings 1t
brought. Others were associated with
them, but they were the bright polite
al stars of light and strength in the
galaxy of the new government.
1t was we'll indeed that the brave
soldier who led the armies of the Rev
olution was placed in charge OF the
still untried project Of government.
He knew what the war bad cost in
blood and treasure. He knew the
danger of disintregation, and of ALI
ance with foreign nations. Only the
practical soldier can adequately ap-
preciate the cost of free government.
Washington was a practical man. He
was not a theorist. 1t is no unfaith-
fulness to his fame to admit that he
was not philosophic statesman. But
he was quick to detect error which
might lead to mischief. He was q

than Virginian. He was an American
large hearted and true in his patriotic
devotion to that greater community

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The clerks
of the committee on appropriations of
the two houses of congress having COM
pleted their statement of the appropria-
tiOns made at the last session, are now
looking over the acts to discover the
errors of enrolment, some of which are
almost always found. Several have al
ready been discovered in the acts of the
Fiftieth congress. two of them of quite
an annoying character to Representa-
tive Randall and Senator EdmundS. The
first is the omission of an amendment
reported by the house committee on ap-
preparations to senate amendment to
the paragraph appropriating S650.000
for fuel, lights and water for public
buildings. The house proposed to con-
cur in the senate amendment, which
was purely clerical, with the following
amendment, viz: (which sum shall be
expended under contract or contracts to
be made by the secretary of the treasury
with the lowest and best bidder or bid
derS therefor, after advertising once a
week for four consecutive weeks for
proposals." That amendment was made
by Chairman Randall for the purpose of
preventing the letting of these contracts
by Chief Clerk YOumans,of the treasury
department, whose methods were not
thought to be economical by Mr.. Ran
dali. The conference report was agreed
to on Saturday, so that all of Sunday
was available by the enrolling clerks
and committee to carefully enroll and
compare the bill, but that amendment
escaped and is not in the law.

WATERTowN, S. D., March 19.-At
the election to-day the question of the
eity's donating $4,000 for emigration
purposes was carried by us majority.
GOV. Mellette arrived ON the Burling-
ton at o'clock this afternoon and was
met at the depot by 500 citizens, and
after general hand-shaking was es-
corted by the militia company to his
office. and from there to his residence.
There is large delegation from Brook
lngS county here, also several from
Huron. A number of aspirants for
Office are on hand, and theshotels pre-
sent a lively appearance this evening.
Business houses are decorated.
The reception to Gov. Mellette was
held at the NJ. E. church, fully 1000 be-
ing present. Col. Fahnestock presided.
Rev. 2. E. HOlp gave the address of
welcome. Short speeches were made
by Hon. G. G. Williams, Prof. McLouth,
of Brookings; Mayor Rice, of Huron;

Scarritt, of Watertown; S. FL. Elrod and
Q. q. Sherwood, of Clark; John FL.
Drake, of Aberdeen, and c. L. CreSSey
and I. B. Kelley, of Huron.
Gov. Mellette spoke briefly as follows:
"The one thing of which / am proud
tonight is that L stand before you as the
executive of the territory by virtue of
the fact that three years ago received
the Endorsement of the people of Dakota
for their executive Office in the state
which they had attempted to erect.
That was the point which secured to
me this honor; that was the basis of the
honor, and without it assure you this
honor would be very hollow" Gov.
Mellette spoke feelingly of the ex-
pressions of confidence in him from
his neighbors. Referring to the
state he said: Every much de-
wolves upon you within the next six
months for the veal or woe through all
future time of this commonwealth.
Everything depends upon beginning

ministration of your state in building

hear no more of the miserable talk
about salaries being too low. l. know
ths salary is large enough for me, con-
sidering the way you earn that money
and where it comes from. do not be-
lieye in princely salaries for governors.

WHITELAW REID.


Whitelaw Reid, editor, and one of the
proprietorS of the New York Tribune,
was born at Xenia, o., in October, 1887.
His parents gave him good education.
At fifteen he entered the Miami uni
versity, at Oxford, Butler county, o.,
where he was graduated in 1856. He
began the active duties of life as prin-
cipal of the graded schools in South
Charleston. CLARK county, in the same
state, but did not continue in this occu-
patton long. In 1857 he bought the
Xenia News, and did such good work
on that journal as to give it reputation
gagement by the Times and Gazette, of
Cincinnati, and the Herald, of Cleve-
land, as their Columbus correspondent.
The war gave him an opportunity of
distinguishing himself as correspond
ent at the front. He served the Cincinnati
Gazette in this capacity. and in 1862
became stakeholder of that journal,
the publication of which he subse-
quently assisted in the capacity of asso-
ciate editor. His connection with the
New York Tribune began with his
being the editor in charge of its Wash
ington bureau. He ventured upon the
publication of volume in the year 1865.
1t was entitled After the War--A
Southern Tour" and recorded observa-
tions made in company with Chief JUS
tice Chase on an extensive range of
travel. Reid published another book in
1868. "Ohio in the War;" a work of con-
siderable length and value. He became
permanently an editor on the staff of
the Tribune in 1870. and when Horace
Greeley was candidate for the presi-
dency assumed the position of man.

Rules EXcites Sharp Debate.
WASHINGTON. March 19.-The vice
president announced the appointment
of the following select committee on the
April centennial celebration in New
York: Senators Hlscock, Sherman,
Hoar, Voorhees, and EuStis. Mr.. Sher-
man called up the proposed amendment
of the rule requiring resolutions that
call for information from executive
departments to be referred to
the appropriate committee. He said
that the adoption of such reso-
lutions, without inquiry, sometimes In
vOlved very large and unnecessary eX-
pense, and that such change of the
rule was desirable. Mr.. Voorhees, op-
posed the change of rule. He under
stood that no assent to it had been
given on the Democratic side of the
chamber. He called attention to the
fact that the government was within a
few weeks of closing It's first hundred
years af history under the constitution,
and that during that century of ma
tional life no such rule as that now
proposed had ever been found neces-
sary. He could see no object
that it was likely to accomplish, except
to Stif1e investigation and obstruct i'll
quiry into the conduct of any executive
department. He submitted to the sena-
tor from Ohio and to all senators on the
other side. whether they could afford, at
the threshold of new administration, to
give notice to the world that inveStiga-
tion and inquiry into proceedings of the
departments shall be less free and less
untrammeled than had been the case
heretofore. After a long debate the
rule and amendments we're recon-
mended to the committee on rules, and

Brief Interview With the Next

brief interview with Mr.. Reid on the
subject of his nomination as minister to

of the information elected: II first
learned of the nomination on returning
to town this evening from Ophir Farm,
Westchester county, on getting copy
of an evening paper at the rail-
road station. The nomination
came without any solicitation
or effort ON my part. l had not been
candidate for this or any office, and had
made no effort for any. l am greatly
honored by the distinction and hope it
may be thought also compliment to
the profession, whose good opinion and
honor 1 value more than any office.
The natural presumption is that in case
of confirmation by the senate nominee
for such an Office will accept. shall
certainly try to arrange my business so
as to do so. If | could not, it would
certainly be discourteous in me to an
nouDce this to anybody else before I
said it to the president, who did me the
honor to make the nomination."
