that things had never reached the resignation
point with him. I've often wished l WASH t

Mr.. Thompson admitted he had found Curbstones
sunken and eight ten inches out OF line in
Broadway which is being repaved- He admitted
that payment had been made for cTosswalks be
fore the paving had been put in He was
asked why did not stop work being done IN
violation of specifications and replied i don
know how you stop a contractor If he wants

stopped by the Borough President, but could not
say whether he had been informed OF the viola

How Washington Looked.

George Washington was exceedingly
tall, and, when young, quite slender.
lie had enormous hands and feet. His
boots were No. ID and his ordinary
walking shoes No. r. He was man
Of muscle. During his service in TIE
army he weighed 200 pounds, and was
SO strong that he could lift his tent
with one hand, although 1t usually re-
quired the strength Of two men to place
1t on the camp wagon. l mean, of
course, when 1t was folded up and
wrapped around the poles. Washing
ton could hold a musket with one hand
and fire It, He was good shot and a
good swordsman. The pictures OF the
father OF our country make you think
that Washington was brunette. His
face is dark and somber. The truth is
he had skin like an Irish baby, and
his hair was almost red. He had a
broad chest, but not full one.
His voice was not strong, and dur
ing his last days he had hacking
cough. His eyes were cold gray, and
1t Is said that he seldom smiled, al
though there Is reason to believe that
he had considerable kumor about him.
His nose was prominent. He was par
iticular as to his appearance and fas-
tidlous in dress. He wore plain clothes
and always kept himself wen shayen,
acting as his own barber.

- The Republican party has sinned
away Its last day of grace for correct.
ing the iniquities of the Dingley tariff.
1t had from the great reciprocity CON
ventlon held in Chicago two years and
a half ago notice unmistakable that the
West was tired of the robberles 1t suf-
fered through that conscienceless law.
The only reply from the Republican
Congress was that the Dingley act was
the fountain head and the foundation
stone of all our prosperity. One cleo
tion Of congressman has been held since
that time, in which the Republican par
ty stood pat on the tariff and the ma
iority in the new Congress is still stand
ing pat.
In view of this record, promises by
Republican lenders in the Senate and
in the House that something will be
done to the tariff right after the cleo
ton are not worth the breath that ut
ters them.
If revision of the tariff Is clearly
seen to be necessary there is no better
time than now to revise 1t. An. ounce
of performance is better than n pound
Of promise in any market, especially
when past experience convinces that
the promise is lnsineere.
II the Republican party wishes the
people Of this country to believe that it
is honest in what 1t says, the goods
must be delivered before the votes. II
