Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-02-23

on February Z, 1900. This order was as
follows:
"Washington is dead This great man fought
against tyranny. He brought about the liberty
of his country. His memory will always be
dear to the French people and especially to
French soldiers, who, like American sol.
diers, fight for liberty and equality Conse-
Quently, the First Counsel directs that for the
next ten days all the standards and pennons
of the Republic shall be vested in Grape"
This was at time when Napo-
leon had not yet made up his mind to
kill liberty in France. In fact, at that
time, he still looked upon Washington
as his model and ideal.
Among other foreigners of distinction
who, attracted by the renown of George
Washington's name, fastened across
the water to fight under the banner of
American liberty, the noblest of them
all fairly venerated this great Com
mander-in-Chief. Kosciusko, Steuben,
Kalb, Pulaski, Rochambeau, de Grasse
all have left letters behind them
showing how they worshiped the great
American patriot. At Valley Forge, at
time when intrigues were rife among
his subordinate Generals - Americana
like himself-those noble foreigners did
much to Illustrate the plans of selfish
schemers.
"What do you seek here?'' Washing
ton asked of young Kosciusko, who
came with a letter from Benjamin
Franklin. ''To fight for American in
dependence" said the Pole. "What can
you do?" TRY me!'' And Washington
at once made him an aid-de-camp, and
Kosciuslzo throughout the war was one
Of Washington's most enthusiastic wor-
shippers. 1t was similar with Baron
Steuben, distinguished General under
Frederick the Great, who was made In

During the darkest hours of the
heroic struggle for American indie
pendence, Frederick the Great never
wavered in his admiration for the
loader. Such expressions as "That
hero" ''That man cast in Roman
BRONZE" Washington has the true
mettle of the great General" ETC., fell
from his lips. He sternly refused pas
sage through his dominions to the Hes
sian hirelings of England. He sent
Washington a magnificent sword of
honor, and, after peace was declared, he
was the first to definitely conclude
treaty with the young Republican
September 10, 17s5. The first article of
this treaty significantly read as follows:
"There shall be a firm, inviolable and uni

vitation to President Harrison to q
birthday dinner on Mt McGregor was
accepted with thankful acknowledge
ments. President Harrison not only
went willingly, but apparently eagerly,
TO Arkell's birthday dinner
We are surprised that the Saratogian
does not know what great man MI.
Arkell is with this administration. Ever
since the Republican convention at
Chicago In 1888 Arkell has been more or
less great man in the Republican, party
too.
Considered separately and individually,
on his own merits, Mr.. Arkell may not
seem to be great man, but considered
by what he has done be is a great man
both with this administration and with
the Repub lean party.
When the Republican convention was
on the ragged edge of grief not daring
to nominate Blaine because he was a
politicians candidate whom the people
would reject; repudiating Depew because
be was a railroad man and forced to
descend to the forlorn hope of Harrison
because nobody knew or cared enough
about him to oppose him, Arkell, by some
method of selection unknown outside Of a
Republican convention, became a special
messenger to obtain q subscrip-
ton Of 100000, dt has been
placed at 81, OOe, 600 from Morton as the
price Of second place on the ticket
Arkell went to New York and got the
subscription and Morton got the place.
That is history. The Saratogian ought
TO know that there was Blaine Harri-
son Arkell Morton deal at that conven-
ton which has kept Arkell as one Of the
bosom friends Of this administration, of
President Harrison ahd of the Presioen-
tial family for three years.
Personally, financially. socially there
is no reason why President Harrison
should dine with Arkell on the con
trsry. there are several quite pro
nounced reasons why the President OF
the United States, or any other digni6ed
man, should not dine with Arkell But
President Harrison seems either not 10
be aware of those things, or If aware Of
them, not to appreciate what he loses in
dignity and in the respect Of all good
people by defying them.
II President Harrison was not aware
OF the esteem in which he should have
held Mr.. Arkell heretofore, the fact that
Mr.. Arkell has brought this suit which
affects the President and reflects on him
is evidence which cannot be overlooked
that the less President Harrison has tC
} do with Mr.. Arkell the better for his
general reputation for discretion
This suit is for $4,000 damages
Arkell cannot show any damages excep
to his feelings, hence he must bring thu
7 suit, not to recover money, but for thu
notoriety Of his relations with Presiden
Harrison That notorlety does him ia
more good than it does President Har
rison.

not womanly fad, though introduced
BY Mrs. Cuthbert Morrice at st. horitz'

Mrs. Morrice is an English woman, who
appeared at the iron spring in costume

Whether Mrs. Morrice relied on the
costume or the mongoose to create a
sensation is a natter Of doubt, but here
is her costume: A linen tailor made
skirt and jacket. The skirt reached just
below the knees. Her legs we're covered
with tan colored corduroy close fitting
trousers. laced from the ankles to the
knees. Her feet-they were very small
and beautifully shaped--were encased In
strong English calf boots. A white
figured shirt and red scarf, with sailor
hat,
Now, the mongoose was different. 1t
was not attired like Mrs. horrice, and
did not look like her, though 1t looked
dangerous. People stood at distance
from both, perhaps equally afraid Of
either
The mongoose is very vicious little
animal known in India, where Mrs. Nor
rice spent many years, as snake killer
The little beast resembled large rat IN
shape and Guinea hen in Its color and
featherlike appearance, moving restlessly
about over her shoulders until Mrs. Nor
rice disappeared from sight 1t wal
safely strapped to her body by two
leather bands around the animal, and a
long leather strap which enclrcled her
waist
Altogether It was stunning picture.

1t is not improbable that the intimate
and confidential relations Of President
Harrison with w. j. Arkell, the princi
pal owner of the periodicals Judge and
Frank Leslie; the partnerships existing
between Russell Harrison and Arkell;
the attacks that those two papers have
been making upon Secretary Blaine,
editorially and by cartoons; the mis-
representations and malice OF Russell
Harrison's paper in Montana, have given
Secretary Blaine the impression that
President Harrison Is not making open
and honorable warfare-that he is not TO
be trusted with bargain. Hence Mr.
Blaine is shy, silent, absent from Wash .
ington and refuses to hold any confer
ence.
Mr.. Blaine knows that President Har.
rison and his friends cannot entrap and
betray him If he remains away and
keeps his own council; he does not know
