wAsHINGTONs BIRTHDAY.

The growing observance OF Washing
tons birthday throughout the land is
worthy of more than passing notice. IL
shows that time can not dim the lustre
of his fame, nor check the patriotic
emotions that spring into activity when
his name is mentioned. Ii shows that
although today we number 65,OOO,-
600 of people and cover the
territory from ocean TO ocean
and from the Lakes to the Gulf, we still
cherish and revere the name of the man
who led his little handful of men sue
cessfully against the trained armies OF
England on to victory, and established
here a government of the people, for the
people aud 10y the people; government
which spreads out its arms to the op-
pressed Of all the earth, asking in return
simply obedience to its laws.
Washington was not a god. He had his
faults and his failings. but these sink into
insignificance when the sturdy honesty,
the high moral courage, magnificent
leadership, the justice and the magma
nimity of the man are taken into account.
His love for the country he helped to
create was manifested in many ways.
He looked forward into the future, and
he saw that TO secure its develop
ment that TO ensure its absolute indie
pendence il must encourage manufac-
turing enterprises. He was the first of
its leaders to recognize the necessity for
such encouragement and protection.
Even during the struggle with Great Brit
ain he was an earnest advocate Of such
encouragement, and in the first United
States Congress under the constitution,
the first bill he signed was a
bill, a tariff act, "for the encour-
agement and protection of
manufactures. All through his life
he was protectionist, and that he fully
realized the great importance of
this policy in relation to the
future of the nation his declaration
that the encouragement and protection
of manufactures sis of too much conse-
quence not to insure continuance of its
efforts in every way which shall
appear eligible" is proof positive.
Our observance of his natal day is
fitting tribute to the sterling qualities
which made him the natural leader Of
our forefathers. 1t is to these qualities
that we pay homage today fully as
much as to the man himself, and our
children should be taught to emulate
them, while they reverence the memory
of the man in whom they found exem-
plification.

a quarter OF century and awarded to
an irresponsible concern known as the
National Lthographic Company, in which he
was interested. This concern has utterly
failed to fulfill the terms Of its
contract, but il is stated that Mr..
Quincy has exerted his powerful "pull" to
the utmost to stife inquiry and comp p'aint.
The Evening Post of yesterday remarked
that the account of MIR. Quincy's dealings
with respect to this contract was "a very
ugly one," that appearances are very
strongly against him." and that the "leed-
ing points" of the story had been in The
Posts possession ''for months" This COM
placent confession of the concealment of
apparent wrongdoing will impress ordinary
people as rather peculiar proceeding un-
der the circumstances. Mr.. Quincy's outra-
geous raid upon the consulships in order to pay
the Presidents campaign debts, and his re-
cent action as counsel for the Argentine Re-
public in dispute which his political master
is TO decide, have disguised decent citizens of
both parties. The Senate investigation of the
affairs of the National Photographic Company
should be thorough.

NOT BEHEADED.

Mr.. Pung Kwang Yu, once secretary
of the Chinese legation in this country,
has not lost his head as at first reported.
At last accounts Mr. Yu was in full and
undisputed possession of this useful
member with a strong probability in
favor of his retaining it.
Mr.. Yu fell into disfavor with the
home government. his enemies said, and
his head was promptly chopped off.
His many warm friends in this country
heard the news with real regret, for the
talented aud educated Chiuaman had
made host of admirers. The official
statement that his head is still on his
shoulders will be received with the
greatest pleasure in this country.

SIXTY MILES OF VICTORY.

The significance of Tuesdays election
in Pennsylvania begins to dawn upon
one when the real size of the Republi-
can plurality forces itself home. The
fight Just ended has been conducted on
purely national and tariff lines. The
Republicans had Reed, Mckinley and
other orators stump the State, while for
the Democrats Crisp and others did
their share in the fight. Less than four
years ago the present Governor of the
State, Democrat, was elected by a
majority of 16, 554 votes.
But since then, and more especially
since the advent of Cleveland times, the
only question in Pennsylvania has been
the size of the Republican majority. 1t
was so in Tuesdays election. 1t was
conceded that the Republican candidate
was absolutely certain of election. but
the test came upon the size of his ma
jority.
In 1892 Mr.. Harrison carried the State
by 63,747 plurality. In November just
past the Republican candidate
for State Treasurer more than
doubled this with 1876, 146 votes
to the good, and this after only nine
months of Cleveland times. The death
of Congressman Lilly in December left
a vacancy and the result is that Galusha
A. Grow, the Republican standard
bearer, secured the unprecedented plu
rality of 10, 900 votes, in poll of the
State, for he was elected a congress
man-at-large.
Just stop and think of it--a plurality
almost seven times larger than the en-
tire standing army of the United states.
Think of n plurality of this immense
size. Placed in single file and allowing
each man only loot of ground so that
the toes OF one man would strike the
heels of the man in front and this plu-
rality alone would make n line of men
32 and one quarter miles long solid
row of men who, If placed in line of
battle, would reach unbroken from the
State House III this city TO the State
House on Beacon Hill in Boston, and
thence Oh to historic old Salem,--over
60 miles of victory.
Less than four years ago Democrat
carried this State for governor with
16, 600 plurality.
Is it any wonder that Mr.. Cleveland's
friends shivered as they glanced at the
figures yesterday morning showing them
the extent Of the Republican victory.
BY this tremendous vote one can learn
the extent of the condemnation of
Democratic rule. The House is at pre-
sent hopelessly Democratic, and it
would hardly seem as though IL were
worth Republicans while TO
come out and vote to send Representa-.
rive TO Congress where he must be
joined to a hopeless minority. But the
eyes Of the American people were ON
Pennsylvania. Il was TO speak against
this attempt TO destroy American labor
and American industries, and when it
spoke it was with clarion
voice that bade the rest of the
country take courage aud follow in
the footsteps Of the Keystone State. IL
was an earnest Of the victories 90 come.

inc the free trade, debt-increasing, fat
