"The authorities now accepted the
statue, and ordered it to be placed in a
storage room in the park with lot of
rubbish, and there itremained something
like twenty years. When l became
president of the park department this
statue came under my notice as l was
inspecting the city's property of which l
was to have charge. 1t was covered
with dust and was hardly recognizable.
Its history had been forgotten. No one
knew what it was or how it came there.
The Tweed regime was past, and new
people were in. Finally found an old
clerk who knew, and he told me of it.
'We were then laying out Riverside
park and decided that the statue should
be placed in the little crescent where it
now stands. A number of residents
along the new park joined me in sub
scription, and we brought a block of
granite from New Hampshire and had a
pedestal made. When the pedestal was
ready the statue was dedicated. 1t was
on Fourth of July. Children to the
number of 500, detailed in military form
from the various public schools, carried
out unaided ON that day the programme
that had been begun before any of them
were born. The school commissioners
and 5000 other citizens, with Cappa's
Seventh regiment band, assembled at
the crescent, and the children united in
anthem and song and Grafton to COM
plete in their own way the programme
of inauguration. The little girls were
dressed in white, and the boys were all
bright and decently clad. Every girl
and boy carried little flag of the coun-
try, and they all marched in procession
two and two, singing and scattering
flowers about the statue as they passed.
The scene was the most interesting and
touching of any l ever beheld. And
thus the statue was dedicated"
Soil is now being hauled from Fort
Washington, more than three miles up
the river, to complete bastion front for
the statue, and congress will be asked
to donate two or more Revolutionary
cannon to place at the angles This
fort was the first geographical point to
be named for Washington, and there is
not square foot of its soil but was con-
secrated by the blood of Cadwallader's
noble Marylanders and Pennsylvanians
when they made their final and hopeless
stand, a Spartan band Of 5000, against
the kings army, seven times as strong.
% General Viele originated the idea of
making the bastion front with this soil.
1t will be when completed an exact
duplicate of one of Alexander Hamilton's
bastions at the old fort.

Jefferson, was nevertheless regarded by
Washington as the strongest friend that
he had to lean upon. 1t is probable that
he revealed more of his condolences to
Trumbull than to any other man. They
were something alike in their moral quail
tiles, although Trumbull was of Puri-
tanic piety, while Washington was not,
though each of them was a religious
man.
Some fifty years ago the Hon. Learned
Hebard was appointed executor of the
estate of William Williams, who was a
grandson of Jonathan Trumbull, and
whose father was one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. In the
settlement of the estate Judge Hebard
came across a vast amount of CORE
spondence, including letters which passed
between Washington and Governor
Trumbull. Some of these letters were
formal business documents; others were
of more confidential nature. They re-
vealed on the part of Washington free
dom from reserve which none of his
other correspondence shows. One or two
of them contained that term which
Washington publicly applied to Gov
ernor Trumbull, and which for many
years was regarded as nickname for the
American nation, Brother Jonathan"
Some of Trumbull's correspondence
was also found, which shows that this
man of genius and clear intellect. man
born to be of authority himself, had
recognized in Washington that quality
of greatness early in the time of the
Revolution and before he had demon
strated it to the world. Trumbulls let
ters, while not extravagant, for he was
not the man to use extravagant terms,
indicate that Trumbull regarded Wash
ington as having been specially furnished
by Providence with those greater quail
ties, not only military but moral, which
were necessary to establish the Ameri-
can nation. He had almost the feeling
for Washington which Arnold had, al
though in his case there was personal in
timacy and almost an equality of rela-
ton which probably no other man of the
Revolution enjoyed.
Thus the impression and influence
which Washington created and exerted
upon these two men-one of brilliant
ability, but morally bad; the other of in
tellectual and moral integrity and of
statesmanlize quality-suggest how it
was that to men of all quality the i'm
preston that he gave was that of great
ness, exactly as to tho greatest intellects
of this day, like Gladstone's, the same i'm
preston has been given by study of
his life. E. JAY EDWARDS.

Mr.. Gladstone, in one of his chats with
Chauncey M. Depew, said that he was
inclined to the belief that all in all per-
haps the greatest man since Martin
Luther was George Washington, and
the great English statesman went on to
explain what he meant by this charac-
terization. He did not regard Washing
ton as intellectually possessed of such
genius as any one of half dozen men
whom he could name. His military
genius is undisputed, although of course
1t is hardly fair to compare it with that
displayed by John Churchill or Napoleon
or Wellington. Judged simply by re-
suits, it was as great as the victories of
any of these men, since it led to the es-
tablishment of nation destined to be
pre-eminent in the nations of the world.
Every one who has studied the mill
tary movements of the Revolution on
both sides is aware that Washington
was very greatly helped by the distrac-
tions which existed in Great Britain and
which made it impossible to concentrate
its efforts in the American colonies.
What the result would have been had
Great Britain sent Wellington COM
manding great British army in case he
and Washington joined in battle no man
can say.
Yet Mr.. Gladstone thought that in
some respects Washington stood the
greatest tests. His so called Fabian
policy, which consisted in extraordi-

There is now on one of the most pic
turesque spots on Manhattan island
statue of George Washington which has
an interesting history. The statue stands
in Riverside crescent, and is to the lower
end of Riverside drive what the Grant
mausoleum is on grander scale to the
upper. The figure stands with its back
to the Hudson, about eighty feet above
the tide. General Egbert L. Viele, whp
saved the statue from oblivion, told me
about it as follows:
"This piece of statuary is life size rep
resentation of Washington. The first
thing you notice about it is its apparent
smallness. 1t shows the pater patria to
have been a much smaller man than
everybody supposes. That is because
all his statues are either heroic or colos-
sal. In exalting his character the people
have magnified his person. 1t is so the
world over with military and political
heroes. In pers IN Washington was not
man of gigantic proportions by any
means. This is truthful counterfeit,
if may use the paradox. 1t is one of
five which show him as he was. All
others make him out a man of heroic
build. Suppose you look up his biog-
raphies and see if you can find in a single
one of them specific description of his
person, with reference especially to his
weight and stature.
''The original of this effigy is in the
capitol at Richmond 1t is by Houdon,
the celebrated French sculptor. uoudon
was given the commission through
Thomas Jefferson.
"He stripped his subject to the buff
and made plaster cast. 1t is the only
perfect model ever made of Washington
The result was the statue at Richmond.
"Some time before the rebellion the
general assembly of Virginia authorized
q German sculptor Guntherman by
name-to make duplicate of the Hou-
don statue, and from this four casts were
made. One of these is the statue in
Riverside drive. Just after the war the
sculptor's widow brought it to New
York and placed it ON exhibition in one
of the public halls. She wanted to sell
it to the city for one of the parks. Her
price was $4,000. 1t was very cheap
for such piece of art, but the offer was
declined by the city authorities, and it
was finally decided that subscription
should be opened among the children of
the public schools to make up the pur-
chase money in sums of dime or less
After considerable exertion $1,000 was
raised, and there the matter stood until
the widow agreed to accept that sum and
to give bill of sale to the city.

narily skillful avoidance of battle when
defeat would have been almost certain
and when it required strategy of the
highest order to avoid it, was carried
out with the patience and the conviction
of genius His retreat after the battle
of Long Island was of itself, in Glad
stones opinion, sufficient evidence of
great military ability to justify his ap-
pointment as commander in chief of the
American armies.
But it was not in respect of military
quality that Mr.. Gladstone regarded
Washington as so pre-eminently great.
greater moral and intellectual qualities
that this -eminence lay. His patience,
according to Mr. Gladstone, was some
thing exceeding that of any other man
who achieved greatness, for it was pa
tience under extraordinary irritations,
and patience exercised for no personal
ambition, but simply for the cause.
His conception of what the govern
ment which he was seeking to establish
should be was quite as distinct and COM
prehensive as that of Hamilton, Jay,
Madison or jefferson, although he prob
ably could not have set forth in legal ar
gument as they did the reasons for that
conception. They were admirably set
forth in his messages, and especially in
his farewell address, although there are
indications that some of the messages
were written by Hamilton, while the
farewell address was unquestionably
written by Livingston, although some
writers believe that Madison wrote it..
But if the phraseology was that Of the
secretary the ideas were those of Wash
ington, and he undoubtedly set them
forth to his secretaries, asking them, who
were more familiar with the literary use
of the pen than he, to put them in fitting
language.
Mr.. Gladstone regards the finest
triumph of noble, unselfish, patriotic
and majestic impulse to be illustrated
by one brief incident in Washingtons
career. When Washington refused the
crown, then the world had the finest ex-
emplifcation of noble, majestic nature.
The incident is not as familiar as it

should be. American youth know that
Washington captured CORVALLIS, made
a brilliant retreat after the battle of Long
Island and worried and fretted the Brit.
ish armies into exhaustion during seven
years. war. They also know that he was
president twice and declined to become
president a third time. There are not
many who know that the only time tears
were seen in his eyes and the manifesto
tion of great personal sorrow was made
to those about him was upon that oc-
casion at the close of the war when his
army, encamped upon the banks of the
Hudson, was about to be disbanded. There

ner. Tears came to his eyes, and when
he dismissed them with sad gesture and
only brief word these men realized
that Washington had been shocked and
grieved that it could have entered into
their hearts that he for one moment could
have regarded an empire as possible or
could have fought through those seven
years that he might himself attain the
throne.
In that action Washington not only re-

vealed his moral greatness. but, accord
ing to the opinion of Mr.. Gladstone and
other great English thinkers who have
studied his life, made it impossible that
a monarchy could ever be established in
the United States.
Carlyle, who had no great opinion of
the American Revolution, believing, if
his private talks with Americans whom
he met have been correctly reported, that
it was little more than guerrilla war
fare, nevertheless has said that this half
sorrowful, half angry and contemptuous
repulse to those who We're bringing to
him a crown was something greater than
the command of the American armies
through seven years to ultimate victory
1t was an act that Europeans could not
understand
Bonaparte was always inclined to be-
ieve the story purely apocryphal, al
though he was a great admirer of
Washington and paid higher tribute to
his military genius than some other
great captains have done. But it was
incomprehensible to Bonaparte that
man should have conducted prolonged
warfare to success without any idea of
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and, moreover,
Bonaparte himself had no conception
whatever of any other form of republic
an government than that hideous night
mare which followed the French revolu-
ton.
Washingtons greatness was impressed
upon some of the great men of the times
in which he lived even before the world
understood his victories, and there are
some anecdotes traditionary respecting
his relations with two of the ablest men
of the Revolutionary period which have
not become threadbare by constant repe-
tition, and which illustrate this impress
sion of greatness which he gave to his
contemporaries.
Two of the ablest men produced by
the Revolutionary era were Jonathan
Trumbull and Benedict Arnold. They
were both natives of eastern Connecti-
cut. Arnold was born only few miles
from Trumbull's home. Trumbull was
a man of great piety, splendid executive
capacity and possessed in the highest de-
gree the qualities of statemanship. Ar
mold was intellectually brilliant, but
even in childhood had revealed deficient
moral quality. He would have made
great business man, and was in fact EN-
