WASHINGTON.

o fatherland, 80 great and fresl
The prize that valiant heroes won,
The joyful harp wetune TO thee
Commentaries thy noblest son,
To him we give our Thoughts today,
A thankful, childish, patriot band;
We twine the laurel and the bay
And crown him father Of our land.
Oh, not like proud Ambitions son
That scared to fame in ancient Rome,
Not like the Mars who battles won
And found Helena for q home.
No chains were forged thy name to raise
Above the legal lords Of earth,
No groaning captives sang thy praise
Or fiattered crimes TO deeds Of worth,
Sleep on in peace, o hallowed shaded
Sleep on, the father of the freel
The trees that guard the southern glade,
Their tender sobs are all for theel
The oak that decks our northern vale
And boldly braves the drifting SHOWS
Through summer calm or winter hail
Shall teach defiance TO thy foes.
M. V. Gormley.

Washington, pere, died in l743, when
Washington, fills, was hut years old.
He then went to live with his half
brother Augustine and attended school
kept by man named Williams. There
he studied no language hut,the English,
and, the story goes, devoted little atten-
tion to that, confining himself princi-
pally to mathematics This stood him
in good stead when he became a survey
or.
The future general and first president
of this republic, at the time he went to
school to Mr.. Williams, was tall, active
and muscular and was so generally con.
sidered quite capable of thrashing any
one Of his companions that no one ever
had the temerity to pick quarrel with
him

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE contempt rule
against George NJ. Pullman in the Debs'
case has been dismissed by Federal
Judge Grosscup. Mr.. Pullman explained
that he was just recovering from an at.
tack of the grippe, and having previ.
ously arranged for vacation, in order
to obtain needed rest, he went east last
Tuesday 1t was understood that the
counsel for the defense had caused
subpoena to be issued for him as wit.
ness but IL was not served. After his
arrival in New York he learned that an
attempt was being made to construe his
departure as disrespect to the court,
and he at once sent word notifying the
court of his intended immediate return.
The return was delayed by the blizzard.

Washington was neat and careful in
his dress, but not the least inclined to
foppishness Whatever he made use of
or wore he wished to be in good taste
and the best of its kind He was fond
of children, considerate of the feelings
of others, kind and liberal to servants,
punctual TO engagements, circumspect
in his intercourse with people in gener-
al, painstaking and explicit in his bust
ness transactions. A memorandum in
his journal of 174S gives minute direc-
tions to his tailor which begins as fol-
lows: Have my coat made by the fol.
lowing directions, to be made a Frocke
with Lapel Breast, etc, The memo
randum is long and very specific in its
directions.

When Washington Felt Like It, He Could
Unbend Like other Folks.

When Washington Felt Like II, lie Could
Unbend Like other Folks.
Notwithstanding that it is now gen
orally conceded that Washington was
thoroughlyhuman and not at all a man
who had his emotions and passions un-
der perfect control, as his earlier biog-
rapbers would have it, he was not often
wont to unbend himself in the presence
of any one not of his immediate family.
Once, however, when he dined with
Chief Justice Ellsworth Of Connecticut
at the latter's residence in Windsor, he
relaxed completely.
During his stay in the house he was
taken into the nursery and introduced to
the chief Justices twin boys, who were
later to- be known as Governor Ellsworth

WHEN the India minis ceased
coming silver the fact was heralded
to the world by all the leading pa
pers of this country, and we were
told that it was the only thing to do.
But it has been nearly three months
now since the mints of India were
reopened for the free coinage of sill
yer, and it is probably known to
less than a millionth part of the
people of this country The press
made but a few remarks about it
and it was but little thought about.
But it shows that the plan that
England had mapped out for India
would not work. She had to have
silver for money, and the minis had
to be opened This is a victory for
free coinage and should mean much
to this country in an argumentive

HOME industry, home traffic.
There is nothing like it. Every
thing in the world that can be pro-
duced at home should be SO pro-
duced, and every dollars worth OF
goods ought to be bought Of home
merchants. The home merchants
ought to fix to handle the surplus
Of every kind Of product at the very
best possible figure, and to this end
there should be home organization;
not seperate, but all interests com
bined. The farmer who produces
all he consumes, except clothes and
groceries. is cash customer, and
he ought to have an understanding
with his merchant that his surplus
shall be handled on good terms in
consideration for his cash trade.
With such an understanding there
would be prosperity all around.
And especially is it entirely out OF
the question for people doing bust
ness in a town to try to avoid pat
ronizing fellow-business men. The
dry goods man should patronize
the hardware merchant, and vic
versa all round.

JAPAN. before peace is declared
between her and China, makes the
following demands:
First-The independence of CO.
rea.
Second-The permanent cession
OF the island of Formosa to Japan.
Third-An indemnity of 3OO,-
100000 taels.
Fourth-The permanent occupa-
ton by japanese of Port Arthur
and the immediate contiguous ter
ritory
Fifth-A new Japan-China trea
ty, opening the interior OF China
to commerce.
The indemnity is in Chinese
money instead of Japanese, and a
tael is silver money, the face value
of which is $1.33. The indemnity
would, therefore, be equivalent to
1899, 100000 in silver, or the actual
value in gold would be about $780,
100000.

THERE has been great deal OF
talk about the Mint scandal and
shortage in Carson, for the last
month or six weeks, and yet no
one has been arrested, nor does
there seem likelihood that there
will be. 1t is not definitely known
how much of a shortage there is,
but it is certain that there is a
shortage. Government experts and
detectives have been at work for
some time past, and all that can
be learned is that they ''have every
suspect spotted This may be all
good work, but we fail to see it. 1t
is about time that the public knew
what to make of the Mint affair,
and whether anybody is to suffer
for the rascality that it is said has
been going on in that institution
for several years past.

If THE Mint officials at Wash
ington would pay more attention
to the real duties of their office,
and waste less time in trying to
juggle with their fingers and falsi-
fy facts to sustain the absurd and
destructive single gold standard,
they would have discovered the
robbery going on at the Carson
mint long ago. Of late years the
statistics furnished by the Direc-
tor of the United States mint re-
garding the production of gold and
silver and the amount of gold in
the United States have been entire
ly false and misleading, and we are
surprised that congress has not
taken some steps to insure honest
reports regarding the production
and distribution of the precious
metals in this country.-Denrer Re

The mass of filth that is being
published about the sodomite Oscar
Wilde in the leading journals of the
country, may show newspaper enter
prise, but it also shows very poor
taste. 1t is all right to bring such
persons to the rack and punish them,
but that the filthy testimony should
be paraded in the columns of decent
journals is incomprehensible. The
four hundred of England get shaken
up every little while with case of
this kind. Truly it must be nice to
be one of that set, or to even be able
to associate with its members. And
these are your aristocratic English
mobiles. Christ!
