THE BOND SALE.

Providence bonds We're sold on Satur-
day at a remarkably good rate, as com
pared with figures realized in Boston on
Jan. 90. On that date S120, 900 of Bos-
ton 3O-year bonds were sold for $l06.27,
while Providence bonds sold Saturday
for $l0s, ,2s9.
This is certainly satisfactory, but it
wouldn't be polite to brag too much
about it, else we should certainly be re-
minded that Brooklyn has sold 3 per
cents. well above 100, and that Comp
troller Myers of New York, once
achieved the unparalleled feat of selling
. per cents. a shade above par.
Mr. Myers could not do that to-day,
however, as money has never again
been so cheap as at the time he made
his famous comp. There is an element of
fuctuation even in such stable paper as
gilt edged municipal bonds. Certainly
ours are as good as any in New England

DEMOCRATIC GRATITUDE.

Col. O'Reilly is sepulchrally sombre'
but that is no indication that his celtic
heart is not burning with just anger
There is much true manhood about the
Colonel. He never forgets his friends,
and his foes need expect no quarter.
1t is now about twelve months since
ex-Gov. Davis made public his determine
alton not to run for Office again, and in
timated that his mantle should fall on
Mr.. Pond. But despite that fact, the
convention, was packed against Mr.. Pond.
Col. OReilly saw the inevitable, and
loyal 20 his party withdrew the name Of
Mr.. POM and made the nomination of
Davis unanimous. Such acts as these
Mr.. Pond and Col. O'Reilly have been
accustomed to do all their lives.
And now both are pushed into obscu-
rity by men whose record is tainted with
Hillism. No wonder the Colonel and
Mayor Pond are biding their time. There
is to be convention again soon. The
Colonel will be there, but the time is
passed when the old lion will quietly lie
down under defeat. There may not be
war in the open, but the coterie of the
Brennans, CAROLS and Pages will by no
means find the reputable elements Of the
party as docile rs last year.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

II was a strange freak of fortune
which gave us as the founder of the
greatest Democracy of moderA times a
typical aristocrat, man who under
altered circumstances would have been
almost an ideal English country gentle
man, have ridden TO hounds in the sea
son, dealt havoc among the bottles and
died unremembered save by the squir-
eens round about 1t shows, in way,
the wealth of possibilities which lie un-
suspected in men that the worlds great
est hero and delivep r, take him all in all,
should have been one who in less trying
circumstances would never have dis
tinguished himself save by the common
virtues and the common abilities which
are accepted without remark.
Washington was not an orator,
though he could on occasion clothe fit
thought in courteous and forcible Ian
guage. AS a writer he does not com
pare with Jefferson and hundred
Others of lesser note. Even in strategy
it would he difficult to prove him the
superior of our own Greene or of the
badly-treated Schuyler an aristocrat
like himself. AS President he is re-
membered by no brilliant or original
policy, though he had the wisdom TO
surround himself with the ablest men of
his time without regard to their politi-
cal beliefs. He was very wealthy for
those days, and was distinctly behind
his time, even in the country he ruled,
in the principles of Democracy. He
was a man of powder, of wig and queue,
and of old school ceremony, while JEFF

never have ridden TO the capital and
hitched his own horse TO worm fence.
Ride he did, like every Virginian of his
time, but there was always a black
lackey to catch his reins when he
alighted. His manners, his moral view,
his speech and his misspelled letters
were those of the average wealthy man
of his time, with "A deep-rooted horror of
poachers and Glow people" generally.
Yet despite all that might be said in
seeming disparagement of Washington
he was a great man and chiefly great in
what we must call, for lack of better
term, force of character. He was calm,
steadfast, perseverng. He could look
any man in the eye steadily. He did
not often lose his temper; he never lost
his courage, his faith in the ultimate
success of the colonies or his influence
upon the minds Of his countrymen. He
was master of himself and mastered
Others. A man less trusted and re.
vered could not have led the loosely
organized Continental army for a single
year. He could not have coped with
Congress for month. He has suffered
more in the estimation of later times
from the unwise laudation of his early
biographers, who invented the silly
hatchet fable and many another, than
he could do from the tongue of detrac-
tor. He was a man SO great that he
does not need the imputations of quail
ties which he did not possess to give him
rank.s Standing barely revealed with all
his faults and limitations he is, even in
the irrevent eye of keen modern re-
search, the first American.
