first the federaIists stood for a strong centtal government. Some of the ex- tremists of the party even advocated a
 monarchy. Hamilton was accused of being monarchist, though Washing ton put him in his first cabinet, aiming to have there represented the moderate members of all parties who supported the new government. The charge against Hamilton as being a monarch. ist was not wholly without foundation. In the convention which met in Phila- delphia, that afterward drew up the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-01-08

federal constitution, he advocated a plan that called for a president and senators for life. This plan aimed in fact at the formation of an aristocratie and not democratic republic. This may account in large measure for the fact that Hamilton's genius has never been fully appreciated in this country. Englishmen seem to understand him better. One of them, MT. Brice, com- mentator on our American institutions, says that ''his (Hamilton's) country men seem to have never, either in his lifetime or afterwards, duly recognized lis splendid gifts. Washington is, in- deed. far more perfect character. Washington stands alone and unap- proachable, like a snow peak rising above it's fellows into the clear air of morning, with a dignity, consistency, and purity which have made him the ideal type of civic virtue by succeeding generations. But Hamilton, of a virtue not so fawless, touches Us more

In congress he was assailed, but was able by his reports to successfully combat both Jefferson and Madison. Hamil- ton and Jefferson, who never held much i'll common, came to open rupture in Washington's cabinet, Jefferson re- signed, as did also Hamilton a little ylsional army in Adams administra- ton Hamilton displayed a marked genius for military organization. It was just before his appointment as in spector general that lie and Adams, both federals, found themselves at va riance. Owing to this rupture the fed eralists were beaten at the general elec- tions. Burr coming out on top in New York and Jefferson in Virginia. Both these latter received an equal number of votes for president, and the election went to the house of representatives. Hamilton, forgetful of old differences, threw his influence for Jefferson. The
 
 widened, and the latter renewed his in trigues with the federalists, but was |fnally beaten in the goyernorship con- test of New York. Burr, now fully ia- censed, found no difficulty in fixing a quarrel of his lifelong enemy.
 Hamilton was the first political writer of his time, and much of his power was due to his clear, forcible style of expression. His genius for writing was very early displayed. As boy in Nevis he wrote for the local press, contributing at one time an ac- count of severe hurricane that had | devastated the islands, which was so vivid and strong bit of writing that it attracted general attention. It was while still in college in New York that his famous pamphlets. "A Full Vindica- tion" and The Farmer Refuted," ap- peared. So remarkable were these pro- ductions that they were at first ascribed l to Jay. In 1780, when Arnold's treason was discovered, Hamilton was on Wash ington's staff, and his account of that l affair is the best we have.
 Outside of establishing the country's credit, Hamilton's greatest work was 'sThe Federalist." This he conceived and started just at the close of the la bors of the constitutional convention 1 of 1787. It was he who wrote most of those famous essays which riyeted the attention of the country and furnished the weapons of argument to those who thought continually"
 One of tie great state papers of our history is the first Report on the.Pub- lie Credit" sent to congress by Ham ilton January IA, 1790. A little later it was that he made his report on manu factures, which discussed with pro- found ability the problems of political economy and formed the basis of the protective policy of the United States.

bart:
PATTERSON, N. j., Nov. at
The death of Vice President Hobart
occurred at 1890 a. M, and while
not unexpected, was somewhat ofa
surprise, as yesterdays bulletins
were more favorable. His physi-
clan and family were at his bedside
when the end came. The cause of
his death was given as heart failure,
but it is noticed that during the
vice-president's illness no statement
as to character of his malady was
ever given out by attending physi-
clans. Messages Of coincidence
were received from various officials
and sections, among them being one
from the president, who at once is
sued proclamation closing the ex-
ecutive Offices of the United States
and ordering the flags at half mast
at all army and naval posts and sta
tions. Period of mourning to cover
the usual thirty days"
The funeral will be held Saturday
and will be attended by members
of the cabinet, the supreme court,
the senate in body and n large
committee from the house of repre-
sentatives, besides many digniiarics
of the government, who will journey
to Paterson to pay the last tribute of
respect to the memory of the vice
president as presiding officer Of the
senate. As the senate rules specif-
ically provide that no election is
necessary at the beginning of ses.
sion, Frye, accordingly, will con-
tinue presiding officer till the end of
McKinley's administration unless
he chooses to resign or the senate
wishes to elect another senator to

HOW CHILDREN SHOULD RE
CEIVE HOLY COMMUNION.

Many children cause much distraction
to older people when kneeling. at the
altar rails waiting to receive Holy Com
munion. AS soon as they kneel down
they look to see who is their neighbor,
where the priest is, or sometimes they
actually look down the aisle to see
how many are coming. This is great
distraction for others, besides showing
little respect for the Blessed Sacra-
ment.
AS soon as you reach the rail, do
not look one way or the other, but kneel
down quietly and take the altar cloth in
your hands, form the shape OF a table
by placing both thumbs and the first
fingers together and stretching them
out a little Keep your eyes cast down,
but do not close them or you Will not
see the priest when he reaches YOU.
When it is your turn to receive, have
the altar cloth well below your chin,
raise your head. throwing it back a
little, put out your tongue and rest it
on your under lip. Open your mouth
so that your teeth viii not touch the
priests fingers. AS soon as the priest
places the Blessed Sacrament on your
tongue, withdraw it gently, and do not
allow the Host to touch the roof of
the mouth, but allow it to rest on the
tongue for a second, then swallow
gently.
If the Sacred Host happens to stay
in the roof Of the mouth, dislodge it
with your tongue, and never on any
account put your finger in your mouth.
Do not look around when going to your
seat. but go quietly and modestly, with
your hands joined and your eyes cast
down.
Then do not open your prayer book
at once, but bow down your head and
