A GREAT rINANCIER.

Cherish the public credit How both
Of reflection and instruction is contained
In this simple admonition OF the father
OF his country. The United States emerg-
ed from the bitter and prolonged struggle
ot the revolutionary war exhausted tlnan-
cially and with a hundred existing per-
plexities and difficulties which remained
to be solved before the financial credit or
the new nation could be established at
home and demonstrated abroad. But
Washington knew how to gather around
him and place in positions OF the greatest
trust the able fnanciers and economists
whose names the country still venerate
and whose work Il still enjoys, Hamilton
and Morse and others were successful In
establishing the treasury and inaugurat-
ing the financial operations OF this gov
ernment upon principles which recognized
that the most enduring basis of national
credit was national honor, and whatever
other assets we might have or acquire,
that was Indispensable first, last and all
the time II we would cherish the public
credit We have been fully rewarded all
along our history by adherns to the
principles of Washington in keeping the
public faith. Before half century had
passed we had paid off our national debt
and had a balance in the treasury. An
other debt, the greatest in our history
was incurred In the civil war for the pres
crvation of the Union. But this did not
exceed the resources or discourage the
intentions of the American people, There
were those who favored reputation, but
the people repudiated them and went I'M
checked, discharged the obligations of the
government in the coin of honor, From
the day our flag was unfurled to the pres
ont hour no stain of a just obligation Nio-
lated has yet tarnlshed the American
name. This must and win be as true IN
| the future as It has been In the past

may waver and wander away from the
standard, but there will ever rally arounQ

Washington appear in grander proper

SECRECY ENJOINEp.

Washington. Feb. 22.-In every depart
ment today few officials came down to
look over the mails and open any tele-
grams that might have been received
Secretary Long himself spent an hour
in his office in the forenoon looking over
his private mail. He said he had nothing
from Havana and did not expect any
thing. The naval regulations under which
the court of inquiry was proceeding al
Havana absolutely precluded the convey
ance by any member of the court, or the
court as body, to any person, even the
secretary of the navy, any facts devel-
oped during the progress Of the inquiry
unless action of the department was nee
essary upon some development to further
the investigation. For this reason the
secretary does not expect to learn any
thing officially, or unofiicially, for several
days from any of the members of the
court, and as Captain Sampson, president
