PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY @. GRosyENoR DAVE.

Washington's Moral Courage-In less
than two weeks the centennial of the death
ofGeorge Washington will have been COM
memorated in hundreds of communities
throughout the land, but more notably in
the District of Columbia and at Mount
Vernon Much doubtless will be said re-
garding him that would seem extravagant
II we could come In personal contact with
this plain, unassuming leader of the Revo-
luton. But the extravaganza of others
need not deter US from adornng his
memory with few humble wreaths of
appreciation.
Two phases Of his character seem almost
contradictory. Where public utterance
was required, he was diffident-almost
bashful. When he risked his estates and
offered his sword in the service of his
country, he said emphatically; 81 this do
declare with the utmost sincerity | do not
think myself equal to the command that /
am honored with" When he wrote his
farewell message he deferred to the judg-
ment OF others as to what it should con
tain. He was quick to recognize his own
this distrust OF self was not always his.
Two acts evince beyond all refutation
the lion-like courage and self poise of
George Washington. With whom had
there been eight years of war? England.
From whom had there been twenty years
and more of abuse and all wrong? Eng
land. What country had sent hireling
gOtdiprX- n he bifyh,,-.,ry -, yf
America? England. Yet when it came to
the point Of settling policy that should
exist, not between the mother country
and her colonies, but between one SOW
ereign nation and another, Washington
dared, in the face of ten thousand
threats, to approve the commercial treaty
that resulted from the enyoyship of Chief
Justice Jay. His character was attacked
with violence. Even impeachment was
suggested. Hounds of defamation tried
to drag him down. There is but one
straight course, said he, and that IS to seek
truth and pursue it steadily.
Again. " hat nation had given us of its
blood and OF its treasure that we might
fight its own hated foe? France. She had
doiIt ipt Us -plttli llltutCtudllN -lnt Dtsl
she could, and throughout the country
there was a feeling OF intense gratitude
towards her; for she had given Lafayette,
RoCham beau, and DeGrasse. Yet it was
against France and with England that
Washington dared to stand during his
presidential occupancy. Even as there
had been ten thousand threats against our
treaty with England, there had been an
equally intense feeling in favor OF joining
forces with France; but the anxious
Washington, ever seeking for the good OF
his country not the immediate good only,
but the present and the future good-saw
in the French revolution and its leaders
something very different from the Ameri-
can revolution, and he would not give
support to what, under the name of revo-
luton, was actually retrogression.
Without any Others these two acts are,
and will never fail as, signal proofs Of the
Independence and far-seeing character of
his Judgment.
