 EI looked as -1 -Ic s1E.-L..-;,r-----ion were determined Of set purpose to in- crease the expenses of the govern ment, in order that they might add to the loans, which were so acceptable 10 influential men Of wealth, and double the taxes which made the pow CT of the government SO real in the eyes of the people. Steps were urged to create navy; to develop an army with permanent organization and equipment; and the president insisted upon vigorous action at the frontiers against the western Indians. This was part of his cherished policy. It was his way of fulfilling the vision that had long ago come to him, of nation spreading itself down the western slopes of the mountains and over all the broad reaches of fertile land that looked towards the Mississippi; but 10 many a member of congress from the quiet settlements in the east it looked like nothing better than waste of men and of treasure.
 Seemed Too Imperlous.
 The president seemed even a little too imperious in the business: Would sometimes come into the senate in no temper to brook delay in the consid sration and adoption of what he pro posed In such matters. When things went wrong through the fault of the commanders he had sent to the iron tier, he stormed in 8 sudden fury, as sometimes in the old days of the war scorning soldiers who must needs blunder and fail. The compulsion of his will grew often little irksome to the minority in congress; and the op position slowly pulled itself together as the months went by to concert g definite policy of action
 Washington saw as plainly as any man what was taking place. He was sensitive to the movements of opin. ion; wished above all things to have the government supported by the peo- ple's approval; was never weary of writing to those who were in q posi- ton to know, to ask them what they and their neighbors soberly thought about the questions and policies under debate; was never so impatient as to run recklessly ahead of manifest pub lie opinion.
 He knew how many men had been repelled by the measures he had sup ported Hamilton in proposing; knew that a reaction had set in; that even to seem to repulse France and to re- fuse her aid or sympathy would sure ly strengthen 1t. The men who were opposed to his financial policy were also the men who most loved France, now she was mad with revolution. They were the men who dreaded q strong government as a direct menace to the rights alike of individuals and of the separate states; the men who held a very imperative philosophy ot separation and of revolt against any too great authority. If he showed himself cold towards France, he would certainly strengthen them in their charge that the new government craved power and was indifferent to the guarantees of freedom.
 He Acts Promptly.
 But Washington's spirit was of the majestic sort that keep a great and hopeful confidence that the right view will prevail; that the standard to which the wise and honest will repair Is also the standard to which the whole people will rally at last. If 1t be but held long and steadily enough on high to be seen of all. When the moment for action came he acted promptly, unhesitatingly. as if in in difference to opinion. The outbreak of war between France and England made 1t necessary he should let the country know what he meant to do.
 War having actually commenced between France and Great Britain" he wrote to Jefferson In April. I793, ''it behooves the government of this coun- try to use every means in it's power to prevent the citizens thereof from embrolling us with either Of those
