years to the Teachers Association Of
Philadelphia as a foundation for a retire

and disabled teachers. The teachers of

GEN ERAL GRANT AND BISMARCK

Mrs. u. S. Grant, telling of the visit
she and her husband paid to the German
Chancellor, says
Prince Bismarck took the General
and myself to the war chamber. where
the commission was then sitting to set
tie the terms of the Russo-Turkish war.
The chamber was empty at the time, and
he pointed out the chairs in which the
different commissioners sat, showing me
his chair, that of Beaconsfeld and 9TH
ers. AS he did so / asked him what it
was for, and he looked at me evidently
very much surprised at my apparent ig-
norance. I fastened to answer that I
knew it was to settle the terms of the
war between the Russians and the
Turks, but 1 could not see what the
Germans had to do with it. Prince Bis
marck Strengthened himself up. His face
at first was quite sober, but his mouth
soon softened into a smile, and he re-
plied:-@Fo tell you the truth. madam.
Russia has taken too much Turkey and
we are helping her to digest it.
Speaking of the meeting of Prince
Bismarck and General Grant, Mrs.
ment that. when the two met together
that the Chancellor and the General talk
ed dogs and duck hunting like two boys.
This is not true. TIL General has been
represented by some as being effus:ve in
his manner at times. He was ALWAYS re-
family. he was not demonstrative. and
he never was what is called a hail feE-
low well met. man with s~trangers.'e

ms position. ~Strenuously in favor of
tariff reform. he was opposed to the in
come tax. but gave it federation as the
only concession that could insure the
passage Of The tariff bill. In his letters
upon that measure. he pointed out what
all unbiased persons now recognize. that
a small duty upon sugar was the true
way to make the system secure for rev.
enue purposes with the least possible
oppression to the people.
On the monetary question, he has
never swerved from the most uncom-
promising advocacy of sound, honest cur
rency, intrinsically equal to its face value
or backed by the fullest government
guarantee of redemption at full value.
classes at home and the credit of the
nation abroad by maintaining the dollar
at the dollars worth. in face of almost
Uncomfortable difficulties. Even the fea-
ture of HIS financial operations, which
has been most bitterly assailed, his con-
tract with the gold syndicate, is stead
lily gaining It's vindication from the logic
of events, n before the present bond
sales are over, 1t will no doubt be re-
garded as a masterpiece of financial
shrewdness.
Thus we find that while newspapers
and statesmen lose their heads or darken
their consciences, one ON one question,
one On another. some on all, the Presi-
dent, calm. wise and upright almost in
variably seizes on the right idea and the
right way. While the "Sun'' raves about
Hawaii and the World" about the
Schomburgk line, while the POST calls
him a jingo and the Press a coward,
while Mills and Crisp are almost as crazy
as Tillman on finance and Davis and
Sewell represent opposite extremes of
iniquity upon foreign relations, he is the
one man who is always in accord with
all these elements when they are right,
and who is only at variance with them
when they become insane from selfish
ness, ignorance or prejudice.
But he has the large body of the think
ing people with him at all times, and the
number will always grow as historic per-
spective shows the various phases of his
conduct as they really are.
