Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chair.

Senator Jones himself believes

hold expression of that belief and

George Washington.

Yesterday was the anniversary OF
the birth of George Washington-the
Father Of his country and the central
figure around which cluster the lus-
trous memories of the days of 1776, and
the man to whom, more than all else,
we owe our independence and the form
of government we now enjoy.
One hundred and sixty-eight years
have passed since that eventful day,
and deepin the heart and mind of every
citizen of this country is grated the
essence of his whole nature and CRATE
full recollections of his valiant deeds.
1t was he who famed the fires of
patriotism, latent at the time, into
a flame of rebellion against the perse.
cutions of George the III, and who
afterwards commanded the Cont
mental Army, through years of hard
ships, with dauntless courage and
skill until the yoke of oppression was
cast off and the colonies were recogniz-
ed as free and independent States by
the entire world. His triumph came
on the field of Yorktown, where he
received the surrender of CORVALLIS
and the flower of the British Army;
again when devoted people proclaim
ed him President-the first President
of the United States of America-and
again when a second term was thrust
upon him. His day of days, however,
was when he declined the honor the
third time as savoring too much of
royalty, which had been banished
with all its pomps and iniquity from
America forever. This precedent has
never yet been set aside, although
mems ambition for fame and power
have several times put it in jeopardy.
Over the grave of this great man,
many heads bow in silent meditation
and in more than one instance is the
wish, that he was alive and occupying
the Executive chair in Washington,
father to the thought. His admir-
istration was marked by great wisdom
and strength of purpose. His thought
was for the people and his every act
was for their interest, and theirs only.
He strenuously fought against and OPP
posed many of the abuses-then only
in their primitive stage-that have

THE total value Of imports into the

two thirds of the Puerto Ricau trade
is with countries other than the

There is danger in a wanton disre-
gard of its provisions and this is now
being zone by our President and legis-
lators in Congress. There is need of
men like Washington to tide us over
the threatened crisis growing in front
of us. The sound Of rifle and cannons
has taken the place of the clink-clang
Of the workman's hammer and the
soft sweet music of pastoral industry
and away off in the distance can be
seen the signs Of coming vicssitudes
in our national life that warn us of our
danger. We are too late unless men
reason well within themselves, and let
something else but the thirst for en-
pire and extended sway envelope them.
1t is many years since the immortal
George lived and moved among his
countrymen, yet his memory is green
and shall live always, though foolish
men seek to rob it Of its value by mod
ern interpretations dangerous alike to
the country and to its citizens.
