HIS PERSON AND CHARACTER.

Washington was at that time 81 years old,
and as was stated by thousands who knew
him intimately, had outgrown that awk-
wardness of movement which marked him
all through his early life, and arrived at an
attitude of most wonderful and kindly dig
nifty His figure was neither awkward nor
stiff. He was six feet three inches high,
splendidly porportioned, finely developed and
straight. He had long and muscular arm
and a very large hand. His motions were
somewhat slow, and his voice almost uni
formly grave. His breeding, of course, was
that of a gentleman. He was fond of So
ciety, enjoying the good things of life and in
the circle of his intimates he INDUCED in a
quiet humor and was sensitive to the beauty
Of good story.
After Washington's return to the senate
chamber and delivery of the address, he, with
both houses of congress and many others,
proceeded on foot to st. Paul's chapel on
Broadway, where divine service was per-
formed by Bishop Provost, when the prest-
dent was escorted to his own house. In the
evening the city was illuminated in a style
unparalleled in America, and which drew
forth praise even from visiting Frenchmen
and other foreigners. The theatre in John

Fame like an angel descending from heaven
to crown Washington with Immortality. In
Bowling Green We're numerous Transparent
cies representing Washington and the differ
ent branches of the new government presided
over by Justice and Wisdom, Columbia, Lib
erty and many other characters
1t is reported that every house in the city
was Illuminated, the most brilliantly so being
those of the French and Spanish ministers,
who tried to Guido each other. All the doors
and windows of the French minister's house
were bordered with brilliant lamps shining
upon numerous paintings representing the
past and present of American history.
Gathered about the door of the Spanish min
ister's house was a curiously elaborate group
of the Graces, and in each window moved
pictures arranged to pass before the eyes of
the spectators so as to present the Illusion Of
panorama. One of the ships Off the Battery
arranged its rigging with lanterns so as TO
represent "A pyramid Of stars, and the display

THE CRAZE FOR NOTORIETY.

The mania for advertising is all but
universal. and amounts to a craze with a
great many. What it NAV lead TO cam
not be conjectured. 1t is this that i'm
pels cranks TO attempt the hazardous
and impossible, such as descending the
Niagara Falls, leaping from high bridges
into water hundreds of feet below and
from balloons thousands of feet in the
air. The fatalities incident 10 these I'M
iertakings instead of lettering seem
rather TO stimulate and encourage Others
INTO like foolhardiness. Nor is the press
Exempt from this influence. Its bust
hess of gathering and publishing the
current news of the day leads it into the
practice involuntarily. This is just now
Illustrated by two of New York's lead
ing dailies, the Herald and the World,
and prominent magazine. the Cosmo-
politan, representatives from which pub
locations are now engaged in a race
around the world, the only point to
which is to see which can make the trim
N the shortest time.
Advertising is perfectly legitimate
vehicle for enterprise; it is an indispen-
able auxiliary to commerce and indus
trial life. Without il in these times of
sharp competition there is little chance
Tor success. But like all worthy and
commendable endeavor it is often prosti-
tuted to unworthy ends, and it is against
this that we would inveigh as against
any and every other form of wrong.

a REQUEST FOR AID.

Rev. NJ. 2. Julian makes the following
request to his brother ministers in behalf
of the Stanton county. Kan, sufferers:
II ask that ministers of the various
churches bring the destitute condition of
the Stanton county sufferers before their
congregations. and appoint committees
to solicit aid: said committee to report
progress to the board of trade. and also
designate through that channel the day
or DAYS for delivering said contributions.
Arrangements are made with the rail-
road officials for free transportation. If
shipped on the Santa Fe will be sent to
Syracuse. If shipped on the Rock Island
to Liberal. Supplies will go to the coun-
ty commissioners. who will see that the
destitute get them. Stanton county was
slow to make the appeal. consequently
there has been but little done for that
county yet.

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
A Fair Statement.

From the Atchison Patriot.
The Republicans at Wichita. at their
big meeting last night, didn't temporize
with the prohibition question for a mo-
ment. They didn't try to whip the devil
around the stump by asking for consti-
tutional convention when resubmission
was wanted. They went at the business
like brave, sincere, honorable men. They
demanded the calling together of the leg
islature in extra session for the purpose
of submitting the prohibitory clause OF
the present constitution TO the people for
vote at the next election, that they
may have rehearing on this question
at the earliest possible moment.

Profiting by the experience of the pro-
jectors of the Eiffel tower at Paris, who
have already realized 100 per cent on
their investments, it is now proposed in
New York to begin at once the erection
of a tower and have it completed in the
shortest possible time, and by this means
raise the necessary funds to maintain
the Worlds fair project. If they had
only thought of this months ago ii
might have succeeded, but congress will
hardly wait for such scheme to mate
rialize, and as that is about the only
show the great metropolis has of secur-
ing the coveted prize its chances Of get
ting it are slim, indeed.

The law passed by the last session OF
the Missouri legislature in regard to the
usual inticing adjuncts to drinking sa-
looms has :ust become operative. The
law prohibits all kinds of games and
gaming devices, music and musical in
struments in connection with saloons.
Even chairs and tables are forbidden.
Thus the allurements which have hitherto
made the saloon so formidable an enemy
to good morals and the peace and well
being of the community are outlawed
and the power of the saloon for evil
greatly modified. 1t is the inticing acces-
series that renders the saloon so poten-
tial for harm. Divest it Of these and it
will not be so difficult to teach the young
that it is place TO be Stunned.

There will be no resubmission cry in
Iowa. Saloons can be established there
without resubmission. 1t was decided
by the Iowa supreme court in 1888 that
the prohibitory amendment was void,
not having been legally adopted, and
prohibition therefore exists in that state
only by virtue of the legislative act of
1884 A majority can repeal this, where
as in Kansas it will require two-thirds
vote to get prohibition out of the consti-
Triton.

Senator Farwell proposes to introduce
q law apportioning federal appointments
to the several states on the same basis as
representation in congress. The Law
renee Journal is the first paper in Kansas
to kick against the proposed innovation
which, it declares, would absolutely turn
over the power of distributing federal
patronage to the senators, and is not to
be thought of for a moment. The jour
nal seems bent on getting into the ranks
of the rebellion in spite of itself.

THE RIGHT OF SELF GOVERNMENT.

The events or the past week and pres
ent conditions in Brazil are without pre-
cedent. The nearest parallel to it is the
case of France when it last threw off the
monarchIal and adopted the Republican
form of government without internal
strife, but conditions were such at that
time to make the transition easy if not a
natural sequence. In this the capture
and holding the last emperor by the
victorious Germans had different effect
from what the design was; it gave the
people the opportunity to do peaceably
what they were ready and anxious to do
before-the very thing for which the
war was precipitated by the French en-
peror to prevent. The situation, pre-
cedent and immediate, was altogether
different in Brazil. Instead of antagon-
izing and attempting to suppress the re-
publican sentiment that was known to
exist and to be growing among the peo-
pie for several years, the emperor, by
his liberal policy and general conserva-
tism, has encouraged it, and he and his
family are not exiles from the country
now because of i'll feeling towards them
on the part of the people, but the very
reverse: those who have assumed con-
troll of affairs for the time being sent the
imperial family away to prevent any
member of it from being chosen to a
political Office, the real secret being no
doubt, the apprehension that Dom Pedro
himself would be chosen president by
the people if permitted to remain in the
country. The estimate in which he was
held by the people over whom he reigned
so long and acceptablv is shown by the
liberal provision that was made for him
and his family for life.
The change was not the result of the
rigors of the monarchy nor the heavy
burden of taxation imposed for It's
maintenance, for neither of such con-
ditions existed: but it was simply the
putting into practical force and operation
the sentiment of that people that de-
mands the right of self government,
sentiment that viii continue to grow and
spread until it shall obtain universally.
