PRESIDENT MCKINLEY'S firm atti-
tude in regard to the Kansas Pacific
railroad is likely to be as advantage
GUS to the Government proportion
ately as was his action in the Union
Pacific matter. By rejecting the
proposition of the reorganization com
mittee in the Union Pacific matter
and insisting upon the full payment
of principal and interest, he saved to
the Government $13, 81 200 in excess
OF what a former administration had
indicated a willingness to accept, OBJ
tanning full payment of principal and
interest. A part of the Kansas Pa
cific which extends westward from
Kansas City is covered by a second
mortgage held by the Government,
amounting to $6,3O3, 900 principal and
accumulated interest amounting to
$6,59S, 900. An offer of 81, 500, 900 for
full payment of this claim was made,
but President Mckinley, unwilling to
see such a sacrifice of Government
interests, despite the constant asser-
lions that the portion of the Kansas
Pacific covered by the Government
mortgage was of no greater value than
the first mortgage which the Govern
ment must assume in fOreclosing it's
own lien, ordered steps taken in the
direction of foreclosure. The result
of this has already been an offer of
settlement by payment of the full
amount of principal of the Govern
ment claim, instead of one-third of it,
as was originally proposed.

God, never to be uprooted3 but its
fruits are perennial and are still ours
together. We are called on to nour-
ish that tree with our dead bodies,
but our living ones must be devoted
to it's service. To a jealous regard
for all that it represents, we are sum
moned-each one of us that names
the name of America" They who
gather from every tribe and nation
under Heaven; joining hands with us
in devotion to freedom,-a from the
least to the greatest-may serve the
cause that Washington and the Rev
olutionists brought into our history.
Forsaking the straining of our necks,
looking backward to the beginnings,
let us look around and forward. Let
us grapple with evil, wherever we
find the designs of wealth or the worse
crime of indifference threatening our
heritage; and let us furthermore I'M
derstand that sincere watchfulness is
the only way to insure for our chill
dren's children, and theirs after them,
a government that is in a decided
measure based upon the will of the
people.
The lives of great men, when they
fail to stir us ordinary ones, are waste
and improbable, so far as we are
concerned. But in every noble re-
solve that a great life impairs in a
lesser life, there is the living again of
the dead. May the logged devotion
of Washington be resurrected by each
of us in these perilous times, when
men would seek to confuse us by loud
warlike noises that almost drown the
gentle pipings of peace.
The wid'ning river that towards the sea
Resistless runs. still swelling constantly,
Does not derive its force and fullest flow
From any sudden sweep of storm or snow;
But draws It's certain strength from constant
wells,
Graded on stainless heights where stiffness
dwells.
So doth Columbias ever swelling tide
Oflusty life and freedom, spreading wide,
Take inspiration from that noble force,
George Washington, and shape its steady
course
From him whose tireless soul stood firm for
peace,
And planned and fought only that war might
cease.
Let us then rightly judge our great ideal,
And love his tender thought for public veal
Leaving the mighty warrior to inspire
Only when threatened hearts our spirits fire
Mindful that floods, though they may purify,
Leavr in their wasting train dark dregs of
misery.

More glorious than war are the vic
tories of peace. The sweeping out, of
wearing out enemies, remarkable
though it appears when We look back
at the miserable equipments and the
inner dissensions to be contended
with; these would have awaited us no
more than successful revolution
seems to avail a Central American
republic, had the garnering Of the
fruits of victory been left unattended
to. These patriotic statesmen planted
our glorious tree of freedom. 1t was
planted once and once only please

Washington, the Reconstructor, is
far greater to the mind of man
like myself, than Washington, the
Revolutionist. Then his calm mind
freed from the blood and hustle of
the battle field, rose to its highest.
Made commander of men by the
trumphetcall of patiotic duty, he
remained commander of men after
the turmoil was over His genius
was in the selection of advisers, in the
judicial cast of mind that weighed the
pro and con most carefully, in the
power-shared by many of his com
peers-of seeing into the future, 50
that we who are now almost ready to
turn the corner of another century,
are forced to marvel at the foresight
of group OF men, who so admirably
laid the foundations of Il Western
Empire that the strain of uneXampled
expansion has never yet succeeded in
rending asunder the work they ce-
mented with their wounds, their lives,
and their sacred honor.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-02-24

By reasons of the investigations of
the later students of Washington, we
are now ready to concede that many
of the violent assaults upon his char
acter and purpose-made during his
lifetime and shortly thereafter-were
ungenerous and unfounded. Thanks
also to the candor of modern histor-
ians, we can now see further that he
was by no means demi-god striding
along on lofty mountain tops, but a
humble, unassumed, ordinary citizen,
whose devotion to his cause made up
full often for the scampering, run
away fighting that he was obliged to
resort to. We see that few of the start
ling victories of the Revolution were
gained by him. We also see that his
Fabian policy, here one day and away
the next, but scarcely ever venturing
on pitched battle wore out the enc
my by ignoramus floundering rather
than by armed resistance. His great
ness was more in his noble courage in
clinging to endanger cause, in the
face of the mutterings and discomfort
of many of the influential people. who,
like the loyalists of Cuba at the pres
ent moment, were most serious in
fuence to combat.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.

BY NEMO.'

lCOpyrlghteu by awe q Tabor
AS to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with
q certain amount of reserve, it is gen
orally true that our understanding of
an event in it's relation to other events
is increased by distance. For in
stance, let me suggest that we under
stand the voyage of the "Mayflower, :"
the settlement of Massachusetts. the
expulsion of Roger Williams, the mi
grations westward from Virginia and
New England-all these things, in
their relations to other events and in
their effects, much better than did
the actual participants. So also of
men: In the case of really great
onesit needs century almost to meas
ure their works and to strip them of
any false glamor of praise or gloom
of blame. AS with a general in the
hands of his valet, those in constant
association with the great feel too of
ten that the clothes and chance make
the hero; or if they do see greatness in
their admired one, they fail to see any
detractions from his loftiness, for
both love and friendship are blind
(many of us can thank Fortune for
that, or else we had been reckopea- as
naught long ago..
