JEFFERSON AND HAMILTON.

Alexander Hamilton was closer to
Washington than was Thomas Jeffer-
son. but Jefferson was closer TO the
people. Both were statesmen of a high
order. They were patriots who held
country above party, but they differed
in judgment as TO the means rand
measures best calculated to promote
the welfare of their country. Each
had his followers, each maintained his
ideas with ability and tenacity, and
thus the first parties were formed in
this republic.
On many points they agreed, on some
they crossed swords, and on others
they merely differed as to which was
paramount, which step should be
taken first, which of two evils was the
greater menace to the country.
AS, for instance. Hamilton believed
with Washington that large standing
army and colonial system was the
greatest danger a republic could bring
upon itself Jefferson contended that
the vesting OF unlimited powers in
money lenders was a far more serious
evil
Hamilton warned the country and
posterity against becoming involved in
any policy of conquest or expansion
or any foreign complication which
would necessitate extraordinary de-
fensiVe measures. He argued thus:
Safety from external danger is the
most powerful director of national
conduct Even the ardent love for
liberty will after a time give way TO
its dictates. The violent destruction of
life and property incident to war. the
continual effort and alarm attendant
on a state of continual danger. will
compel nations the most attached to
liberty TO resort, for repoee and Sc
curity. TO institutions which have a
tendency TO destroy their civil and
political rights. The institutions al
luded to are standing armies and the
correspondent APPENDICES of military
establishments. Standing armies, it is
said. are not provided for in the con-
stitution; and it is therefore inferred
that they may exist under it. IL they
are encouraged we should, in very
short time, see established in every
part of this country the same engines
of despotis1n which have been the
scourge OF the old world

aristocracy that has set the govern

the more remarkable when we consider
the influence he exerted on the art of
his country and the high position ac-

honors with his distinguished rival, Sir
Joshua Reynolds; he painted the beauty
of English womanhood as no one ever

Superior"


Labor DAY in Superior this year will
live in the memories of the people for
years to come as the parade and every
thing connected with the celebration was
marked success. The day dawned'
cloudy, but the sky soon frightened and
the different unions began to assemble
early, preparatory to marching in what
was destined to be the largest and longest
Labor Gay parade ever Witnessed in Su-
prior.
Numbers of floath were put in by differ
emit organizations but the cigarmakers
had the best and represented three dis
tinct phazes of the cigarmaking industry.
first the prison made, then the tenement
house, and lastly the clean union cigar
shop, which was very striking and showed
that the cigarmakers knew where they
were at" when they constructed the flats.
The parade started from the corner Of
Third and Tower about O'Clock and was
headed by Grand Marshal Royal and a
platoon of police next came the mayor and
city officials-on foot: which was a
unique feature of the parade, then the fire
department. Alexander & Reemer's union
band. delegates to the Trades & Labor
Assembly and at least 5000 union men
and women in one continuous line which
stretched out 26 blocks.
