AnsWnr 10 Mr- WiISnn-
The EdIlor OF the ln.elIIscnccr.

To the Editor OF the l~utelligcn"rr.
MIR. Editor. Il few words aud | am
done with MIR. Wilson and will not
further irespasS on your space. Mr..
Wilson's story of Rev. Henry Clay
Dean is quite applicable and cOrrobo-
r%ativc. Oscar Nildc's father and
grandfather were Irishmcn, The latter
from the city of The Tribes, Galway
therefore the '.rcal Guild Irish stock"
but | will gladly admit that his case is
the exception to the rule and that Erin
stands forth as The most yirtunus cnun-
try on the face of the globe.
This animus To- England l. 10 me
hard la understand and his wilitnl per
version Of facts relative To her Standing
among nations Will not help tn give
weight To Mr.. Wilson's views on other
subjects. He states Poland has ~
claim on our sympathy. What say 5
history?
He states the German emperor is
lawfully king of England, or i%nsinnates
such. Every school boy ought to know
better.
He states England makes claims to
be a Christian nation. Ii she Is not,
where is there one?
Now he comes to the treaty and
although some such action has been
suggested or proposed for twenty years,
yet he sees some great disaster behind
it and here, Mr.. Editor, l have TO give
in to Mr.. Wilson. I am no prophet,
but he states ''I' am the first writer
who said so and so and everybody sees
it now and a." with another big |,
have seen what this treaty is for. Ger
talnly his prophecies are gloomy and
show little faith in our own statesmen.
Then he jumps on some one he calls
Lord Scully, IN Illinois. There is not,
o never has been, any such title in
England. l believe Mr.. Scully or his
father was n member of parliament for
the county of Cork, ut one time, but
likely when he came to this country
he brought wealth with him and made
good investments. 1 believe he is an
American citizen.
The opinion of Mr.. Hammond and
the other Americans, relative to the
laws governing citizenship in the Trans
vaal, will likely have more weight with
the public than that of Mr.. Wilson.
Finally, if England is our only enemy
in the world it is all the better reason
to come TO amicable terms with her as
she is, by long odds, our best cnsto-
mer. 1t is not worth while to follow
MIR. Wilson through his wanderings
among the Aryans of Great Russia,
Russia, White Russia, Mongol-
lans, ScandInavians, South Italiotes,
etc., etc., so with a little personality 1
will close.
[ am not an Englishman. l am u
citizen of this country and as such I
write, hoping to live to see the time
an arbitration treaty will be made,
not only with England, but the whole

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington's birthday was
pretty generally observed throughout
the United States. This was eminently
proper. OF all the days IN the year,
there are two which should never be
allowed to pass without proper consid-
Grafton by the citizens of this country
the 4th OF. July and the 22d of Feb
ruary-the one commemorative the
Declaration OF independence, and the
other in honor of the man who By his
patriotism and brave leadership Carried
into effect the provisions of that great
document.
Washington was Il true patriot.
While he gained enYiable distinction as
a soldier and statesman, it is as the
patriot-the man-whose Intense love
and devotion to country overshadows
his other noble qualities, that he is
best remembered. lie had an abiding
faith in God, and never neglected 10
invoke the Divine blessing upon his
undertaking. lie believed that his
cause was just, and fought as we'll as
prayed.
Every one knows the termination of
the struggles of Washington and his
noble band of patriots. 1t is common
history. Victory vas wrested from
the British after years of desperate
fighting against unequal odds, and
amid hardships calculated to daunt the
bravest.
1t was 4 grand victory tor liberty
and justice. The magnitude of Its
results will never be fully compre-
hended. The greatness and glory of
this achievement will increase with the
growth and prosperity of this country.
The history of the Revolutionary war
and its mighty results should thrill the
heart of every one who reads it with
pride and enthusiasm for the preserva-
ton of this, the greatest and grand
est country on the globe.
George Washington's name and
fame will never perish from the hearts
of the American people. The record
of his life is carved and interviewer
into the structure of this government,
never to be effaced. Of him it was
we'll said: t'FIrst in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."

One Of the very best promises for
Improvement in business is the burst
ing of the steel rail pool. Already a
number of very heavy orders have been
given for steel rails, the placing Of
of which, in addition to the trauspor-
tatiou. will occupy quite a large num-
Der of people 1t is almost an axiom
that when the manufacture of iron and
steel Is active other interests sympa-
thize and prosper. When it is consid-
cred that the additional price of the
steel rails was of no benefit to the
~ortmen who produced them, but
simply vent to pay interest on watered
stock, the changed condition of affairs
must be satisfactory to almost every
body.

Mr.. James Stevenson Ewing on the
StereOntIcOn Dance.


Mr.. James Stevenson Ewing, the
American Minister at Brussels, is a
cousin and former law partner of Vice
President Stevenson. Mr.. Ewing ponrs
himself out thus over the steropticon
dance as given by Miss Grace Hunter:
"You go TO see u ballet dancer, and
instead you behold a wonder, a marvel.
a miracle! y thousand effects of light
and shadow; of interchanging
and intermingling colors, gilt
tering and flashing in inumerahle sug-
gestions of beauty. You see every
conception Of form in curve, circle and
graceful line of beauty. You see an
endless succession of dazzling visions.
and as they come and go to measured
strains of sweet music, you catch the
glimpse of the face of an angel and the
form of a Venus. You go away with
pleased imagination. You have Toasted
on beauty in multiplied forms.
THESE effects are not simply scenic,
but are associated with the artist. They
are beautiful pictures-not copies, but
originals. They reproduce themselves
on the brain, II we hang them in the
halls of memary.H

A number of democratic senators
have stated that they would not
obstruct tariff legislation, and repub-
lican newspapers in consequence have
jumped to the conclusion that whatever
sort of a tariff monstrosity their party
may incubate and bring forth will in
consequence pass the senate as well as
the house. This is a grievous error.
The democratic senators may not fac
tiously oppose any bill that comes up,
that is by dilatory tactics, but at the
same time they will vote against any
thing like the Mckinley bill, a bill
which has not even the support of It's
own party, nor will they vote for n
DingIey bill that is prepared from the
manufacturers standpoint OF such
'scedules as will operate positively.
With the democrats in this action will
be. several silver republicans as we'll as
the populists, so that the extremists on
the so-called protective side of this
Issue will find themselves powerless to
impose upon the country their views.

We have had a great deal of the
NIedringhalseS in Missouri politics.
They are of the unblushing tariff school
which advocates that congress shall
legislate in the interest of private enter
p.ises. Mr.. Aiedringhaus, when in
congress. did not hesitate TO cur
schedules acknowledgedly for his per-
sonal interests. We were told all the
time that these measures would rebound
to the public benefit, that workIngmen
would have more employment at better
prices. 1t seems, however, now that
the election is over, that these gentle
men are playing a different tune.
Within the last few days the Niedring-
hsus Stamping Company has reduced
wages 10 per cent, affecting two hun
dred employees. 1t Ia a little singular
where so many lessons of this kind are
taught, that working people can so
easily lined mp at the polls, as were
these last November, on the gold-bug
and high tariff issues.

From the moment hat Arthur Dues
trow was declared legally dead by tho
state doctors under the scaffuld at
Union, says the St. Louis Chronicle,
his share In the estate of Louis Dues
trow, his father, reverted to his sister,
Hulda. Duestrow's personal estate
comprises about $4,000, which was
earned by the reserve fund Of $500, 900
worth of bonds SINGS the Union Trust
company was first g~arnisheed by the
first creditor. The trust company has
since that time paid o u no money 10
Duestrow or to his attorneys. The
money is ready to be divided among
his creditors, as soon as en- adminIstra-
tor is appointed and the court applied
to-. This fund will be all that the cred
itors will get, but it will probably be
large enough to satisfy them. The in
come from the Louis Duesirow estate
will be paid by the Union Trust Com
pany to Hulda at once, under the pro-
visions of Louis Duestrow's will, with
out any legal proceedings. If Hulda
Duestrow dies without issue, the estate
will go to some charitable institution,
selected by the Union Trust Company.
