al Die Hard. but
| Am Not Afraid"

After Washington's retirement from
the Presidency, his health was remark
ably good;. and, although age had not
come without its inGrmltles, yet he
was able to endure fatigue and make
exertions Of the body and mind with
scarcely less ease and activity than he
had done in the prime Of his strength.
On the 18th Of December, 1899, he
spent several hours on horseback, rid.
ing to his farms, and giving direc.
tions to his managers. He returned
late in the afternoon, wet and chilled
with the rain and sleet, to which he
had been exposed while riding home.
The water had penetrated to his neck,
and snow was lodged in the locks Of
his hair. A heavy fall Of snow the
next day prevented his going abroad,
except for a short time near his
house. A sore throat and hoarseness
convinced him that he had taken cold,
but he seemed to apprehend no dan.
ger from it. He passed the evening
with tho family, read the newspapers
and conversed cheerfully till his usual
hour for going n rest.

Incident Typical
of Washington's Life

A story Illustrative Of the firm and
determined character of Washington Is
told In the following description Of af-
fairs during the frontier warfare:
"The labors and dangers Of the field
were not the only troubles with which
Col. Washington at this time had to
contend. BY an ill-timed parsimony,
the pay of the officers was reduced so
low as to create murmurs and discon-
tent throughout the camp. Complaints
grew loud and vehement, accompanied
with threats to resign and leave the
army to its fate. Under this pressure
the character Of Washington shone
with the same purity and lustre that
often distinguished it afterwards on
similar trying occasions. In his letters
to the governor he assumed firm and
manly tone, demanded for himself and
his associates an allowance equal to
that received by the kings troops, and
deprecated the idea Of being placed
upon footing, which should imply an
inferiority in rank, or in the value Of
their services.
while he took this high stand in
defending the just claims Of the Off
GERS, he endeavored to calm their feel
ings and reconcile them to their con-
ditlon by appeals to their honor and
the obligations of duty. I have COM
municated your sentiments to the 9TH

Washington Chosen
Commander-in-Chie

At the outbreak Of the war OF the
revolution, 1t should be said, to the
credit Of the New England delegates,
that they were among the foremost to
PROPOSE and the most jealous to pro.
mote, tho appointment Of Col. Wash.
ington to the chief command. AS the
contest had begun In Massachusetts,,
the inhabitants Of which had been the
chief sufferers, and as the existing
army was mostly raised there, 1t could
not have been thought an extravagant
assumption had that colony aspired to
the honor Of furnishing a commander.
in'chlef, But happily for America,
the patriots Of that day rose far above
the sordld aims Of selhshness and par.
ty rivalships,
While the discussions were going on
in Congress respecting military prep.
arations, Mr., John Adams, one Of the
delegates from Massachusetts, moved
that the army, then besieglng the Brit.
ish troops in Boston, should be adopt.
cd by Congress as a Continental army;
and, in the course OF his observations
enforcing this motion, he said 1t was
his intention to propose for the Office
of commander-lnchief a gentleman
from Virginia, who was at that time a
member Of their own body. His re.
marks were so pointed that all present
perceived them to apply to Col. Wash.
ington, who upon hearing this refer.
ence to himself, retired from his seat
and withdrew. When the day for the
appointment arrived, the nomination
was made by Mr.. Thomas johnson of
Maryland. The choice was by ballot,
and, on inspecting the votes, 1t was
found that Col. Washington was unan.
imously elected As soon as the re.
suit was ascertalned, the House ad.
journed, On the convenlng Of Con.
gress the next morning the president
to him officially the no.
tice Of his appointment, and he rose
In his place and signihed his accept.

Thought Always of
CoUntry's Welfare

IN letter to Colonel Hamilton, n
delegate In Congress from the state of
New York, Washington said' MY
wish to see the union of these states
established upon liberal and perma-
nent principles, and inclination to
contribute my mite In pointing out the
defects OF the present constitution, are
equally great, All my private letters
have teemed with these sentiments,
and, whenever this topic has been the
subject OF conversation, have ondeay-
ored to dlffuae and enforce them; but
how far any further essay by mo might
bo productive Of the wished-for end, or
appear to arrogRte more than belongs
TO me, depends 80 much upon popular
opinion and the temper and dlsposl-
tlons OF the people that II is not easy
TO decide, shall be obliged to you,
however for the thoughts which you
have promised mo on this subject, and
ns soon as you can make II convenient
No man in the United States is or can
be more deeply Impressed with the
necessity OF n reform In our present
confederation than myself, No man.
perhaps, has felt the bad effects OF II
more sensibly; for to the defects there
Of, and want of power In Congress,
may Justly be ascribed the prolonga-
tlon Of tho war, and consequently the
expenses occasoned by II. More than
half the pcrplexities have expert
enced In the course OF my command,
and almost the whole Of the difficulties
and distress OF the army, have had
their origin here, But still, the preJu-
dlces Of some the designs Of others,
and the mere machinery OF the ma
Jority make address and management
necessary to give weight to opinions
which are to combat the doctrines OF
those different classes Of men in the
field Of politics"
To Lafayette he wrote: 1--WE are
now an independent people, and have
yet to learn political tactics. We are
placed among the nations Of the earth
and have a character to establish; but
how we shall acquit ourselves time
Tust discover, The probability Is (at
TOast fear l) that local or state poll
tics will interfere too much with the
more liberal and extensive plan of
government which wisdom and fore
eight, freed from the mist of prejudice,
would dictate, and that we shall be
guilty Of many blunders in treading
this boundless theatre before we shall
have arrived at any perfection in this
art; in word, that the experience
which is purchased at the price Of diff
iicultles and distress will alone con-
vince us that the honor power and
true interest Of this country must be
measured by continental scale, and
that every departure therefrom weak
ems the Union, and may ultimately
break tho band which holds us togeh-
er. TO avert these evils, to form a
new constitution that will give con-
slstency, stability and dignity to the
Union and sufficient powers to the
great council Of the nation for general
purposes is a duty incumbent upon
every man who wishes we'll to his
country, and will meet with my aid as
far as 1t can be rendered in the private
walks Of life."

WoRIern Intolerance.

Thinking men of to-day, confronted,
for example, with the problems OF
China, South Africa (the settlement
problem, not the war problem), are de-
termined, says II. Brimley Johnson in
the Atlantic, that the claims Of impe-
rialism shall not involve a reckless de-
structlon Of patriotism, or a foolish
process Of remolding nations on Bir-
mingham patterns. without precisely
declaring that western civilization has
reached Its climax, they are firmly con-
vlnced that as itself an all-sutllcient
motive power its influence Is on the
wane. In other words, it is now recog-
nized to be valuable only as a means,
and 1t behooves us to consider the end
1t may legitlmately encourage. For
the moment, however, the pressing me-
cessity is to check popular enthusiasm
from mistaking it for an end; to con-
vince the body polite that the con-
sciences and ideals Of other people are
at least as permanent and as valuable
as our own; that their ways are not
our ways, nor our ways theirs. Nations
make poor lecturers, and the arena Of
diplomacy is an unsteady pulpit. Civ
ilizatlons are not one, but many, and
Of to-days survivals few are barbar-
GUS. The danger Of forgetting this
truth is both theoretic and practical.

Gratitude of
Congress Shown

When Washington returned to New
burg, at the close Of the revolution,
he found letter from the president Of
Congress asking his attendance on
that assembly, then In session at
Princeton. The object Of this request
was to consult him on the arrange
ments for peace and other public con-
Germs. While he was making prepara-
tions to leave camp Congress conferred
on him new honors. II was voted
unanimously that an equestrian statue
of General Washington should be
erected at the place where the resi-
dence Of Congress should be estab-
lished, and that 1t should be executed
by the best artist in Europe, under the
superintendonce Of the minister Of the
United States at the Court OF Yer
sailles.

]. ]. Hill with sober face told the
commission that competition between
railroads raised the rates and that mo-
nopoly was what reduced them. II this
SIMPLE proposition is correct why in
tho world are the railroad managers
trying to get the law so amended that
they can pool instead Of competing? Is
it because they want to reduce their
incomes?
