GEORGE WASHINGTON
Eulogy of First President by
Mr.. Mckinley.
HIS GENIUS FOR STATESMANSHlP.
Without Precedent or Predecessor He
Welded the Scattered Colonies Into
Firm Union-Leading Points
of His Farewell Address.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2s.-President
Mckinley delivered the principal ad-
dress at the celebration of washing
tons birthday at the University Of
pennsylvania. He said in part:
In its entirety Washington's public
life is as familiar to the American stu
dent as the history Of the United States.
They are associated in holy and indis-
soluble bonds. The one is incomplete
without the other. But with all our
pride in Washington we do not infre-
quently fail to give him credit for his
marvellous genius as a constructive
statesman. We are constantly in dan
ger OF losing sight of the sweep and
clearness Of his comprehension, which
accurately grasped the problems of the
remote future and knew how to formu-
late the best means for their solution.
1T was committed to Washington to
launch our ship of state. He had nei-
ther precedent nor predecessor to help
him. He welded the scattered and at
times antagonistic colonies into an in
destructible union and inculcated the
lessons of mutual forbearance and fra
ternity which have cemented the states
into still closer bonds Of interest and
sympathy. And how reverent always
generous his recognition Of the guiding
hand of divine Providence in establish
Ing and controlling the destlnies of the
colonies and the republic.
but If timely lesson is to be drawn
from the opinions of Washington on his
assuming the office of president, so also
is much practical benefit to be derived
from the present application of portions
of his farewell address, document in
which Washington laid down principles
which appeared to him all important to
the permanence of your felicity as a
people, In that address Washington
contends, in part: % For the promotion
of institutions of learning; CD for cher
ishing the public credit; CD for the OBJ
servance Of good faith and justice to-
ward all nations.
'As the country has grown, education
fostered by the state has kept pace with
1t. Nor does this seem surprising when
we reflect that the truest aim and
worthiest ambition of education are not
finished scholarship for the favored few,
but the elevation of a high standard OF
citizenship among the many. How
priceless is a liberal educationl In itself
what a rich endowment 1t is not i'm
paired by age, but its value increases
with use. No one can employ it but its
rightful owner. He alone can illustrate
its worth and enjoy its rewards
I'VE have been fully rewarded all
along our history by adhering to the
principles of Washington in keeping the
public faith. From the day our flag
was unfurled to the present hour no
stain Of a just obligation violated has
yet tarnished the American name"
The president. accompanied by Sec
retary Porter. returned to Washington
last evening.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1898-01-06

rifle ball from Kentucky at New
Orleans He pauses right at the out
set of his battle-story to describe the
shot, draw pen portrait of the marks
man and even paint word picture of
the rifle itself! He says:
The distance was at least IS rods.
1t was still a trife misty, but not
enough to obscure target from such
eyes as Ballard's. He shot in the
usual Kentucky style, with rising
aim, pulling trigger the instant the
sight line came on fair with the mark.
After the battle, during the truce to
bury the dead, the fate of the British
major was ascertained. He was turn
ing his head to the right to glance
along his line when Ballard unhitched
on him. The ball cut about half its
diameter in the upper rim of his left
ear and passed through his head.
Ballard was, of course, capital marks
man, though by no means the best
shot in the Kentucky line. There
were numbers in every company quite
as good as he. Probably, though, in
case of very great emergency, like
this, when the task was not merely to
make a hard shot, but to make it the
pattern shot of battle that the fate
of the army, and maybe, of the
country, depended on in such case,
l say, probably no other hand in the
force would have been as steady, nor
other aim as cold, as Morgan Ball
ards. Old Ben Hardin knew his mahl
