The drug dispenser, offended at

At the appointed hour the aspirant
was IN the shop and . large price was

ENGLAND'S DILEMMA.

Pittsburg Gazette: In 1.-THE good
old day" when King George III.
could not get together a sufficient
number of Britons to coerce the
embattled farmer of the African
colonies to submit to taxation with
out representation, he was able to
send to his friend, the elector of
Hesse, who sold him the use of
regiments to prosecute the war. In
this age it is different. There is no
elector of Hesse now, and what is
more significant, there is no one
like him-at least none where Euro
pean civilization prevails. Sovereign
cannot deal in regiments of soldiers
as they might in herds of cattle,
and, if a nation is at war, whe the
with another nation or with a colo
ny, it must depend on it's own re-
sour es. This is one reason for the
present dilemma of British states
men. They need more men to fill
graves on the welt and few are vol
unteering for the sacrifice. The
ranks Of the English army are filled
by voluntary enlistment instead of
the compulsory service that is ex-
acted by tia rulers Of the nations Of
Continental Europe to maintain the
strength If their armies. AS Eng
land calInrt., as of yoIe, go to the
continent to buy an army, her state
men SERIOUSLY conisder the alter1la-
tive OF adopting the continental
system Of CONSUMPTION. But what
will free born Britons say to this !?
There's the rub And so the states
mon formulate plans and hesitate to
give them force. So long as the
government merely draws on John
Bulls pocket book and bank account
John does no more than growl. But
when the government shall under
take to lay authoritative hand on

than growl.

Adams and Others Took the Oath
of Office

presented as Washington opened ses-
sion of Congress. An immense crowd
filled the street through which he was to
pass. AS he left his carriage he ascend
ed the steps of the edifice and paused
upon the upper platform. There he
stood for a moment, distinctly seen oy
everybody He stood in all his civic dig
nity and moral grandeur-erect, serene,
majestic His costume was full suit OF
black velvet; his hair, in itself blanched
by time. powdered to snowy whiteness,
dress sword at his side, and his hat held
in his hand. Thus he stood in silence,
and what moments those were!
Throughout the dense crowd profound
stiffness reigned. Not a word was heard,
not breath. Palpitations took the place
of sounds. 1t was a feeling infinitely be-
yond that which vents itself in shouts.
JEFFERsON's TASTE.
Jeffersons election TO the presidency
brought with it revolution. Cream-col-
ored chargers went out Of fashion. LiV-
cried lacqueys in white, with scarlet or
orange trimmings, found themselves
without occupation. Simple messages to
Congress were substituted for speeches
from the republican throne. English
parliamentary precedent was abolished.
A President with a sword buckled to his
side disappeared forever. And so 1t has
remained ever since. 1t was a change for
the better; for it uplifted American man
hood and American citizenship to q dig
nifty that had not been heretofore achicv-
ed, and that since has not been lost, but
on the contrary, has gained fresh
strength in the evolution OF the years.
The great founder of the old Democra-
cy was the first President inaugurated in
the national capital. His accession was
a stupendous event in all world history,
for it gave an irresistible direction to A
conflict that is as old almost humanity
itself, and, that, apparently, will continue
through all time. His inauguration was
what has been called in derision Sim
pie True, it was simple" SO far as he

UNJUST CRITICISA.
And because of this fact what he then
did has been outrageously falsitied by
historians hostile to the principles for
which he stood, and for which he of all
men that ever lived stands to-day. \
large number of these writer's with the
purpose of casting ridicule on jefferson
assert that ''he rode to The capitol, hitch
assert that he rode to the capitol hitch
ed his horses to the pailings and walked
in to take the oath of office" He did
nothing of the kind. Lodging near the
splendid building, he walked to it, ac-
companied by a few friends, and vent
through the ceremony in the Senate
chamber. where for the four preceding
years he had presided as Vice-President.
And there and then he read the very
greatest inaugural address that has vet
been made. The principles it laid down
has preserved the Republic, and are to
popular government what the sermon
on the mount is to Christianity.
