guidance. He established precedents
which have guided his successors in
Office in many important matters to
the present time; but of the greatness
of Washington, of his goodness, and,
above all, of his pure and grand
patriotism, there is needed no other
testimony than is furnished this day.
Wherever the English language is
spoken honor and respect will be
shown to the Immortal Washing
tor"
But Washington and the soldiers
and statesmen who were associated
with him left to their countrymen
more than memory, more than an
example. They left to them and their
descendants scheme of government
perhaps the most perfect which has
ever yet been devised, Constitution
which has been the pattern for all the
nations which have since attempted
to establish free governments, and
coupled with this Inheritance sol
emn trust to maintain it in it's integ
rity. Circumstances and conditions
have changed since the Constitution
was adopted. The country has ex-
panded over a territory many times
larger than that over which Wash
ington was elected President, and
the population has increased twelve
fold. Wealth has multiplied, knowl-
edge has increased, inventions have
been made, steam and electricity
have annihilated distances. Prob
lembs have arisen and multiplied,
and questions now confront the peo-
pie of which the convention which
framed the Constitution did not
dream. And yet that august instru-
ment has been found as we'll suited
for our guidance now as it was in the
beginning; any departure from it is
attended now with as great or even
greater peril than in the early days Of
the Republic. But there is constant
danger that temporary advantage OF
expediency may tempt political par
ties which happen to be for time in
power to establish precedents in VIC
lation of it's strict letter and spirit
which may arise to plague the in
ventors. In the past all such de-
partures have been attended Will
disasters and if the grand fabric o.
our Government ever falls to pieces
it will be because the precepts Of the
Constitution have been violated.
It therefore becomes the duty o.
the teachers of the land to impart tc
those for whose training they are re
sponsible reverence for the charac
ter Of Washington, for his patriot
ism, his obedience to authority ant
respect to law, his truthfulness, hi
simple dignity. In the words O.
Byron,
Washington watchword such as ne'er
Shall sink while there's an echo left to air.

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
NEARLY 100000 A MONTH ON
FORT WORTH PAY ROLLS.


People are pretty generally aware Of
the fact that the Industries connected
with the railroad business OF Fort
worth are, taken collectively, the most
important here As rule, however,
they have rather an indefinite idea OF
the force In the shops and on the roads
and other leading details In regard to
the small army OF workingmen thus
employed also constitute In these times
OF business depression the mainstay
OF the city's prosperity. II IL not easy
to obtain complete and accurate sta
tistics on these matters but a reliable
approximation may be given.
1t Is estimated that the total number
of men working In all the machine and
repair shops Of the city In the various
lines of employment number nearly
hVe hundred 1t is believed that the
number Of trainmen employed on the
divisions Of the different roads leading
out Of the city is something over a
thousand. This makes the total force
employed on the roads about fifteen
hundred men without taking into con-
sideration the office forces OF the diff
ferent roads including the headquarters
Of the Fort Worth and Denver and the
Rock Island roads. The number thus
employed is over a hundred.
The pay rolls of the shops VIII ag-
gregate about $4,000 per month at this
time. The pay roll on the operating
departments OF the roads will reach
100000 or more and the salaries OF the
clerical force will add several thousand
more. Including the higher salnried
clerks and officials 1t will probably
amount to over $4,000 per month. This
makes a grand total of nearly 100000
paid out In salaries by the railroads
at Fort Worth every month. What the
rest of the expense accounts of the rail-
roads at this point amount to 1t would
be difficult to ascertain.
Enough has been given. however to
indicate in a general way the magni-
tude of the railroad business at this
point and its Importance to the city ut
all times, and more particularly when
there is anything like falling OF in
other branches Of trade and industries
