A NrGr.uorrn nmRo.

The Manchester Union is weeping some more or less saline wseps over an old party named John Paul Jones, who, it ayers, has been sadly mis- treated and neglected for a century and a quarter, or such a matter. They identified and dug up his remains in Paris a few years ago and brought them over to America, where they wsse buried with appropriate esremo- nies. and e handsome monument was ordered to be built over him. Now the Secretary of the Navy claims that Congress will have to appropriate $1sS 000 more in order to finish the job.
 Plainly the project is to plant John Paul Jones in handsome style. and he deserved if. Perhaps in our day he might be regarded as something of a swashbueller. but he was . patriot and a fighter, and 6 good one, too. That he loved sea fight is beyond dispute. and that he knew how to conduct one is just as true. He was of the kind that were needed when the American colonies were fighting for their independence. and his treat ment by the American Congress was little less than shameful. to say the least of it. and not to our credit. It not only paralyzed his efforts to serve his country but finally drove him in exile A Paris, where he died. literally a man without a country.
 It cannot be said that his treat rnsnt by Americans of later days Is at all Co the credit of our people or government. After remaining in an obscure and unmarked grave for more than a century his resting place was finally discovered and identihed through the efforts of General Horace Porter. and the bones brought to the land of his adoption for which he was

Those wise and patriotic men who founded our government looked far ahead, 9orssaw many dsnssrU and pro- vided against many conditions. but even their wisdom was not profound enouHh to foresee 6 President like Roosevelt. They believed that they had set up . government of three coordinate branches, limited the pow CTS and specified the ldutieS of each. but they couldn't imagine President who would take an oath to support the Consultation and then forget the Constitution. They thought they had thoroughly safeguarded all depart rnents of the government and set nsess and bounds beyond which no dspa4tmant could go but they failed to provide against Roosevelt.
