To eXpatiate at this time upon the virtues,
private and public, OF George Washington,
or to dwell at length upon his life work.
would be an idle task Allie was and all
he did is a familiar story to every ABeri-
can school child. he oyershadows nearly
every other figure in the history of this
nation, for Lincoln is, perhaps, the only
one that approaches him in all the quail
ties OF patriot and statesman. In the his
tory OF the world there are few instances
OF men who have so inGelibly left the
impress. not only OF III cir deeds. but OF their
Individuality upon succeeding generations.
Another popularity about this is the cir
cnInstance that the yencration in which he
is held is not confined 10 the adults who
are able 10 estimate his greatness, but is
shared 10y thechfidren, in whose imagination
George Washington is almost beatificd.
The observance OF the anniversary OF
WashingtOA's birthday, therefore, should
bc largely devoted 10 a contemplation Of
AuVse CudfdSbSta9tiCS liib ihahc lin q
luminous figure IN the worlds pantheon.
Chief among these was his obIteration OF
self in his intense devotion TO the interests
OF his country. This, of course, is patriot
ism, but it is patriotism subiimated; It
is its very essence. 1t is the kind OF
patriotism OF which unfortunately there
are few examples, but it is the highest
type after which every citizen may model
his own course.

WASHINGTON, D. C., FEBRUARY % 1896
ANOTHER B0kSTFUL
CLAIM EXPOSED.
The Star Cannot Verify Its
Statement, and Is There
fore a Silly Braggart.

IOI = d Siiig Di 0SSo L.
Wednesday the Star stated
that its circulation reached
S2K per cent of all the occu-
pied houses in Washington,
which is a clsim as false as it
is absurd and as absurd as
anything lacking sense could
possibly be. At the time OF
the publication Of the delin-
ouent tax list for 1894 il was
estim ated atthe DistTiC Build
ing that there we're $4,000 oc-
cupied houses i'm the city of
Washington. If >fle entire cir
culation OF the Star were de-
iiYered to occupied houses it
woulG require a daily average
of Al, $50 to place a single
copy in S2H per cent Of the
number of houses on record
in the Comm iSSfonerS' office,
and as the SCar only claims in
its last sworn statement a
daily average circulation of
81 .547 it is difficult TO see
how it can make that number
go around.
To make the falsity Of the
Stars boastful claim still more
apparent it should be remem-
berec that nearly one-half the
circulation Of every daily
newspaper is absorbed by
street and newsstand sales.
and suburban and mail and
exchange lists, a large pro-
portion Of which never g teFS
the homes of resident Citi-
zens. But admitting that 2O,-
ODO OF the Stars circulation
reaches the occupied houses
of Washington, it will be seen
that It's boast must be cut in
twain to stand the test of in
Vestigation.
The truth is that The Times
has the largest bona-fide cir
cuiation in Washington. A
comparison of its sworn state
ment with that of the Star
Verifies this assertion, and an
inquiry among the people will
still further prove its correct
ness. There was a time when
the Star could ride rough shod
over the public and insolently
claim everything in sight, but
fortunately for the good Of
Washington that day is no
longer here. Perhaps our eve
ming contemporary is begin
ming to realize that fact.

He Can Possibly Be Depended On.

rency. The reissue of greenbacks as soon
as redeemed prevents the possibility of re-
strictlng their redemption TO uny definite
sum, consequently there is no limit TO the
demand they may create upon our gold
reserve.
Following out the advice OF sueh gold
gamblers as j. PierpDnt Morgan, President
Cleveland has adopted the policy of ''main-
taining our national credit for their es-
peeal benefit by borrowing their gold at
q high rate of interest, and allowing them
to Immediately withdraw 1t from the
Treasury through our grecnback system,
to be borrowed again at some future day.
Had he notified these pirates OF finance
at the beginning OF this administration
that he would redeem greenbacks In silver
after the gold reserve was exhausted they
would have discontinued their raids on
the Treasury and obtained their supply
OF gold for foreign transactions from the
vaults OF private corporations. Possibly
there might have been a furry in stocks
similar to the one brought on by the Ncne-
znelan message, but the business situation
would have long since adapted itself to
circumstances. There would have been
snycd several years OF depression aud The
necessity OF mourning an enormous national
debt.
Should President Cleveland be renomi-
pated and elected neither the financial nor
politicaI situation Will be changed.
Republican silver Senate will prevent the
withdrawal OF the greenbacks act or any
financia legislation, anda Republican House
win insist that nothing but protective
tariff can save us from dernnition. The
public viii continue to be convulsed by
conflicting opinions and business men win
be as reluctant as they now are TO make
Investments.
1t may be safely asserted that this con-
ditien VIII not be changed as long as Mr..
Cleveland occupies the White House.

The usual appropriation Of $3.50 was made
TO defrag The expenses of this trip. As
the clerk of the committee went along, the
party consisted OF Ten persons, thus making
A per capita allowance Of practically 500

The inspection tonr OF the committee
generally covers a period of three days, so
