exhibits. IN a word I mean that am by
no means satisfied with his treatment OF
me.
1t is well known that Washington
provided in his will for the liberation
of his slaves after the death of his
widow. While he lived, however. he
took good care to see that his slaves
served him properly and that they did
not permit dreams of liberty to disturb
their equilibrium. When the capital
Of the nation was removed to Phila-
delphia. Washington took a number
of slaves from his Mount Vernon es-
tate to serve in the presidential man
sion. house rented by the president.
1t appears from the following remarks
in a letter to Mr.. Lear from Richmond
that Washington was worried lest
some Of his negroes might obtain their
liberty under Pennsylvania laws:
The Attorney Generals case and mine
conceive from a conversation ! had with
him respecting our Slaves. II some what
different. He in order to qualify himself
for practice in the Courts Of Pennsyl-
vania, was obliged to take the Oaths of
Citizenship to that State; whilst my resi-
dence is incidental as an Officer Of Gov
eminent only, but whether among people
who are in the practice Of enttctn0 slaves

1t, this distinction will avail, I Know
not and therefore beg you will take the
best advise you can on the subject, and
In case 1t may be found that any Of my
Slaves may, or any for them shall at

six months. 1t is my wish and desire that
you would send the whole, or such part
Of them as Mrs. Washington may not

not think they would be benefited by the
change. yet the idea Of freedom might be
too great a temptation for them to resist.

they had a right to 1t. make them inso-
lent in a State Of Slavery. As all except
Hercules and Paris are dover negroes. 1t
behoves me to prevent the emancipation
Of them, otherwise I shalt not only loose
the use Of them, but may have them to
pay for. If upon taking good advise 1t Is
found expedient to send them back to

under pretext that may deceive both

Time to Get Mad.

A member Of the Philadelphia bar
tells of queer old character in Al
toona who for a long time was the
judge Of police court in that town
On once occasion, during session
of his court. there was such an amount
of conversation and laughter in the
courtroom that his honor became very
angry and confused. Suddenly, In
great wrath, he shouted:
"Silence, here! We have decided
above a dozen cases this morning, and

"HAT Washington was very well
off in this worlds goods Is q
matter of common knowledge.
The fact that he was exceed
ingly shrewd and thrifty in business
matters is not so widely known. He
Inherited much property. and he in
creased it by careful management.
Washington was indeed many sided
man. He could conquer king or in
crease a corn crop with the same fidel-
lty to detail. He looked closely after
the details in farming as well as in
lighting, and therein lay the secret Of
his success in both these professions.
Letters and Recollections Of George
Washington" published by Double
day, Page 4 Co., reveals the business
side of his life in manner calculated
to convince the reader that the Father
of His Country was likely hand at
a bargain. 1t required a mighty lively
rascal to cheat George Washington In
a business deal. He was an able
Judge of men and a severe analyZer of
motives. In a few words he could de-
lineate the character Of a statesman or
draw a correct picture Of a servant.
and he looked after his servants, both
employee and slave, from the head
overseer on his plantation to the ugli-
est scullion in his kitchen.
The letters mentioned were written
by Washington to his private secre-
tary, Tobias Lear, young man from
New Hampshire, who occupied that
confidential post during the last six
teen years Of the great mans life.
In letter written from George
Town" early In 1871 Washington in
closes several other letters, one of
which he mentions thus:

to get bargains in servants by utilizing

The latter especially characterized such
procedure as a belittling OF the gov
ernor and of the fight he had been
making for what he saw fit to desig-
nate as state rights. Had Mr.. Glenn
carried out his intention it would have
strengthened the contention Of those
who claim that there was more politics
than any thing else in the action Of
the governor. There are many who
still think thai to be the Ease and he,
in making such a speech would have
been adding strength to their argu-
ment. It is unfortunate that the gov
ernor did not decline the invitation
when first rendered instead of accept
ing it and waiting until his action wa
severely criticised before withdraw

was no doubt Influenced by those ad-

DEMOCRATIC REHABILITATION

The announcement has been made
that the Hearst Independence League
in New York, Massachusetts,, Connecti-
cut, Illinois and California will soon
meet to form a national league. By
some this is considered as a movement
ON Hearst's part to kill off Bryan's
candidacy for president as the demo-
cratic nominee. Has it come to this
that the democrats are forced to make
a choice of candidates between these
two men? Has not our party in
pendence enough to say that it will
not nominate either if it does not
want either?
In speaking of this matter the New
York Tribune uses Il word that is new
to us and We have been unable to find
1t in Webster or the Century dictiOn-
airy. That paper says that Mr.. Hearst
and his followers no longer consider
Mr.. Bryan as an ally in their CAM
paign for the rehabilitation of the
democratic party. That is "a new
Nt ""S w - ~ 1 SOoo
word. 1t certainly applies in this case.
The Standardization of the democratic
party has been going on for some time
and 1t seems to be a race between
Messrs. Hearst and Bryan as to which
can more completely radicalize the
democratic party, and, what is more
painful to many who are looking on
at the race, is that so many old mem
bers Of the party do not seem to care
to what extent either Hearst or Bryan
radicalizes the party. They are allow
ing themselves to be led to political
destruction by such men and their
strikers. Those Of the party who do
not find Bryan radical enough for them
step over into the Hearst procession
and still call themselves democrats.
Can any one tell us to what end the
party is drifting?

ing fair and just treatment Of the
patrons of the railroads. We Go
not believe there is any inclination
or desire on the part of the people
| generally to get more out of the
railroads than is justly due them.
They want their rights and nothing
more. In order to secure those
| rights the people want and need in
formation as to true conditions.
They cannot get this by reading
newspaper editorials which consist
of nothing but abuse and denuncia-
ton of the railroads and their Off
GERS. They rely on the papers to
give them information as to condi-
tons and facts concerning the rail-
road business ia the state. Papers
which try to mis1ead the public by
incorrect statements Of facts or at
tempt by sensational articles of
abuse to create undue prejudice on
the part of the public against the
railroads are doing the people as
we'll as the railroads a great injury.
This is no time for stirring up strife
and hostile feeling among the peo-
pie. 1t is the duty of the press to
do all in it's power to allay any feel
ing of enmity which may exist.
II &c ahc1r1 ond uoI1 n;oh orim-
inal fol- any person to try to create
i feeling of hostility between the
people and the railroads-absurd be-
cause the railroads are a necessity
to the people, and common sense
dictates the Importance of friendly
relations between the two; demon
strates the necessity of the n to
the other; the railroads cannot exist
without the support of the public,
and the people are absolutely dc
pendent on the railroads. What
good, then, can come to either from
an effort to create enmity between
the two? To do so borders close
on the criminal because it tends to
the destruction of property and to
the creation of a sentiment of law
lessness and disregard of the rights
Of others.
When the railroads violate the
law the press should call attention
to the fact and should urge enforce
ment of the law in case of such vio-
lations, but it is not it's province to
stir up enmity and encourage strife,
especially when done for political
purposes. Newspapers which do
this prostitute their high calling and
lend their influence to base purposes.
Railroads., as do all other citizens,
commit wrongs and violate the law.
When they do SO they should be pun
We do not claim infallibility
for them, but we do insist that
they should have fair treatment and
be justly judged by the courts and
the public. Justice is all they ask,
and that should be given them.
When they act unjustly. toward the
people justice demands that they
be punished, but it does not call for
revenge against the whole railroad
of the state.
