barked on such career when the guns at
Lexington brought him into the field
Trumbull who was governor Of the
Connecticut colony, greatly admired Ar
nold's energy in getting his company to-
gether within an hour after the messen-
ger brought the news Of Lexington, and
at the bayonet's point demanding pow
der from the hesitating New Haven au-
thorities. and then, equipped, leading
them in the march across country to
Boston. II was Trumbull who advised
Washington of this exploit, 30 that
Washington became early impressed
with Arnold's military ardor and ability.
Arnold's achievement in taking an
army across the wilds Of Maine to Que
bee, which has been likened by some
writers to the marches of Xenophon or
Hannibal. gained for him the warmest
friendship of Washington.
Arnold's letters show that the only
man in Revolutionary times for whom
he felt either fear or respect was Wash
ington. In Washington's presence Ar
mold was subdued, gracious and respect
full. Some of his letters indicate that he
had for Washington feeling no had for
no other man, something OF affection,
and it was apparent to those who studied
the life of Arnold that the only person
before whom he stood tanned and whose
authority he cheerfully acknowledged
was Washington That indicates some
thing of that great moral quality which
led Mr. Gladstone 10 speak of Washing
ton as perhaps the greatest man since
Luther. When he was contemplating
his awful treachcry the only thought
that gave Arnold pain was that Washing
ton would suffer For the rest he cared
not one jot.

toni
Mr.. Gladstone. in one Of his chats with
Chauncey NJ. 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-
terizatibn. 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
it 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-
tablishme.lt of n 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-
tons 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
handing 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-

spondence, ircluding letters which passed
between Washington and 3overucs
Trumbull Some of these letters were
formal business documents, others were
of more confidential nature They're
vcalcl on the part of Washington Il free
dom from reserve which none of his
other correspondence shows. One or two
of them contained that term which
Washington publicly applied 20 Gov.
ernor Trumbull, and which for many
years was regarded as nickname for the
American nation, Brother Jonathan"
Some of Trumbulls 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 il to the world. Trumbull's let
tiers. while not extravagant, for no was
not the man to use extravagant terms,
indicate that Trumbull regarded Wash
ington us 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
statesmanlike quality-suggest how II
was that to men of all quality the i'm
preston that he gave was that of great
ness, exactly us to the greatest intellccts
of this day, like Gladstone's, the same i'm.

his life. L. JAY EDWARDS.

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 APP
pointment as commander in chief of tho
American armies.
But it was not in respect Of military
quality that Mr.. Gladstone regarded
Washington as SO prominently great.
II was in the perfect balance Of all his
greater moral and intellectual qualities
that this prominence 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, unselfsh, patriotic
and majestic impulse to be illustrated
by one brief incident in Washington's
career. When Washington refused tho
crown, then the world had the finest ex.
emplifcation of noble. majestic nature.
The incident il not as familiar as II
should be. American youth know that
Washington captured CORVALLIS, made
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

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 1t impossible that
monarchy could ever be established in
the United States.
