YAAM RNOJMNn ~ AWAlAAAlDs
Just at present the American PEG
pie are in the throep Of awaye q
criticism Of public men, says the Ioll
Register. within a year we have
viewed with scorn men ami measures
that we have honored for score o.
years. And we are almost persuaded
that we should take credit to our.
selves for these suspicious and our
inconoclasm. It shows, does II not
our moral advancement; our quick.
ened civic conscience? True, men
who reviled Licoln alive, revere him
dead; men who cursed Cleveland in
office, honor his statesmanship and
courage and honesty today.
1t is very true that no man today
Is above criticism. but It Is equally
true that the existence Of criticism
does not necessarily prove q public
mans unfitness. The present gem
grafton is united in honoring George
washington. We are confident that
be was a great man, honest and pat
riotic. But he did not escape severe
attacks when IN office.
A writer, early last century,
speaking Of Washington, said that
his enemies threw aside all reserve
and assaulted his fame with a. viru-
lence not inferior to that with which
they could have attacked the mean
est defaulter. His military, his civil,
his political, his private, domestic
character we're all arraigned, and
he was asserted to be destitute OF
merit, either as man or q soldier"
A paper called the Aurora, said:
III ever a nation was debauched by
a man, the American nation has been
debauched by Washington. il ever
a nation has been deceived by a man,
the American nation has been deceiv-
ed by washington" When his SER
vices as president were ended the
same paper said: "The man who is
the source of all misfortunes Of our
country Is this day reduced to a level
with his fellow citizens, and is no
longer possessed Of power to multiply
evils upon the United States. II ever
there was period for rejoicing, this
Is the moment. Every heart In uni
son with the freedom and happiness
Of the people ought to beat high with
exultation that the name OF Wash
ington from this day ceases to give a
currency to political iniquity, and to
legalize corruption"
Tom Paine wrote: ELEVATED to
the chair Of the Presidency, YOU as
sumed the merit of everything to
yourself, and the natural ingratitude
of your constitution began to appear.
You commenced your presidential
career by encouraging and swallow
ing the grossest adulationp and you
travelled America from one end to the
other. to put yourself in the way OF
receiving 1t. ." You have asmany
addresses in your chest as JagaeS !;
Monopolies of every kind marked
your administration almost In the
commencement. The lands obtained
in the Revolution we're lavished upon
partisans; the interest Of the dis
banded soldier was sold to the spec
ulator. Injustice was acted under
the pretense of faith, and the CHIEF
OF the army become the patron OF
fraud. ="
Many Of Washington's critics are
buried in oblivion, while his fame is
secure. 1t neither proves a man
saint that he escapes loud denuncia-
.tion nor does 1t prove him a traitor
and a knaye that he is attacked po-
litically.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The weakest
point of American colleges today, in the
opinion OF Frederick Keppel. dean OF CO.
iumbia university, is their failure to help
their students To choose a career. In

declares that systematic inquiries among
college men show that most boys pick

keppel interviewed on this subject more

One reason for this may well be that. con-
sidering the present age for college en-

a further material change is made In
