When Jove Threatens.

Engage the people by their affec
tions, convince their reason-and
they will be loyal from the only prin
ciple that can make loyalty sincere
vigorous or rationale conviction
that 1t is to their truest interest. and
that their government is for their
good. Constraint is the natural par.
ent of resistance. and pregnant
proof that reason is not on the side
OF those who use It. You must all re-
member Luoian's pleasant story:
Jupiter and a countryman were walk.
ing together. conversing with great
freedom and familiarity upon the sub
ject of heaven and earth. The coun.
tryman listened with attention and
acquiescence. while Jupiter strove
only to convince him: but happening
to hint doubt. Jupiter turned hastily
around and threatened him with his
thunder.
"Ah! ah!" says the countryman.
NOW. Jupiter, know that you are
wrong: you are always wrong when
you appeal to your thunder. From

was believed that she was melting
the Indians to their savage inroads
upon the border, as the French had
done in the old days; she set herself
to destroy neutral trade by selling
all vessels that, carried the products
Of the French islands or were laden
with provisions for their ports; she
would admir- American vessels to her
own West Indian harbors only upon
|0lferance, and within the limits of a
most jealous restriction.
1t gave a touch of added bitterness
to the country's feeling against her
that she should thus levy as It were
covert war upon the Union while af-
fecting to be at peace with 1t, as II
she counted on its weakness. especial
ly on the seas; and congress would
have taken measures of retaliation,
which must certainly have led to open
hostilities. had not Washington inter
vened. despatching John. Jay. the
trusted chief Justice, across sea as
minister extraordinary, to negotiate
terms of accommodation; and SO CIV
ing pause to the trouble.
Whisky Riots Suppressed.
While the country waited upon the
negotiation. It witnessed wholesome
object-lesson in the power of its new
government In March. 1871. congress
had passed an act laying taxes on dis
titled spirits: twas part of Hamilton's
plan to show that the federal govern
ment could and would use its great
authority. The act bore nowhere SO
hard upon the people as in the vast
far counties Of Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia. beyond the mountains-and
there the very allegiance of the peo-
pie had been but the other day doubt
full. as Washington very well knew.
How were they to get their corn to
market over the long roads II they
were not to be permitted to reduce its
bulk and increase Its value by turn
ing 1t into whisky? The tax seemed
to them intolerable, and the remedy
plain. They would not pay 1t. They
had not been punctilious to obey the
laws Of the states; they would not be-
gin obedience now by submitting to
the worst laws of the United States.
At first they only amused them
selves by tarring and feathering an ex-
ciseman here and there; but resist
ance could not stop with that In the
face of a government bent upon hav-
ing its own way. Opposition organized
itself and spread. till the writs Of
federal courts had been defied by vio-
lent mobs and the western counties
of Pennsylvania were fairly quick with
incipient insurrection.

For two years Washington watched
the slow gathering Of the storm, warn

gress abreast Of him In preparation
for action when the right time should
come, letting all the country know
What was afoot and prepare its mind

that seven thousand armed men had

summoned an army Of militia out Of

he learned there would be no serious

insurrection was announced and pro-
claimed and armed against and

member Of the cabinet, for imperative
private interests had withdrawn him
these six months and more. but none
the less redoubtabl in the field OF
Controversy.
For long nevertheless, the battle
went heavily against the treaty. Even
Washington. for once, stood little
while perplexed. not doubling his own
purpose, indeed. but very anxious
what the outcome should be. Pro-
tests against his signing the treaty
poured in upon him from every quar-
ter of the country; many OF them

stormed, talked of usurpation and i'm.
peachment, called him base. incompe-
tent, traitorous even. were permitted
to see not SO much as the CULVER of
an eyelid as they watched him go
steadily from step to step In the
course he had chosen.
Abuse Is Regretted.
At last the storm cleared; the bitter
months were over: men at the ports
saw at length how much more freely
trade ran under the terms of the
treaty. and remembered that. while
they had been abusing Jay and
maligning the president. Thomas
Pinckney had obtained a treaty from
Spain which settled the Florida bound
airy, opened the Mississippi without re-
striction. secured a place of deposit at
New Orleans, and made commerce
with the Spaniards as free as COM
merce with the French.
The whole country felt q new i'm
pulse of prosperity. The "paroxysm
of the fever" was over, and shame
came upon the men who had SO vilely
abused the great president and had
made him wish, in his bitterness. that
he were In his grave rather than in
the presidency: who had even said
that he had played false In the Reyo,
luton. and had squandered public
moneys; who had gone beyond threats
Of Impeachment and dared to hint at
assassination! They saw the end OF
his term approach. and would have
recalled their insults. But they had
alienated his great spirit forever.
Becomes Flat FederaIist.
When he had seen parties forming
In his cabinet In the quiet days of his
first term as president. he had sought
to placate differences: had tried to
bring Hamilton and Jefferson to a
cordial understanding which should be
purged of partisan bias. as he meant
his own judgments to be-; had deemed
parties unnecessary and loyalty to the
new constitution the only standard OF
preferment to Office. But he had come
to another mind in the hard years
that followed.

The Colonial Idea.
From the Saturday Review.


The colonial idea has been in some way
mishandled in this country, so that to
many people the word ''colones" repre-
sents something far from interesting or
attractive. That magnificent word "em-
pre- has come very near to sharing
the same fate: but il is recovering and is
resuming associations somewhat less
sordid than those which gathered round
II few years ago. L know that there
are stalwart people I'm whom the very
mention of the word colonies arouses
something like a religious fervor; and to
whom, the enchantment of distance being
added, every one and everything colonial
appears as something almost sublime.
am not one of these people. / neither
boast or the fact nor apologize for il;
I am merely one of those who are in
capable of enthusiasm for the colonies
as colonies; which is merely another way
of saying that the idea has not hitherto
been presented to me in way that has
aroused my enthusiasm. To country
like England. which has for centuries
been fed on the food of the gods, colonial
expansion is as natural as the growth
of q tree: but l can never bring myself
to glorify the branches at the expense
Of the trunk and roots. nor perceive that
the water which spills over the edge or
the basin is of higher quality than that
which springs from the fountains When
l meet colonial people or tread the soil
of a British colony / am often stirred
to admiration Of the courage with which
people transplant themselves and attack
the primitive business OF living, and. so
to speak, begin to create the world all
over again, and this admiration Is gen
orally accompanied by a desire to get
back again to civilization as quickly a.
possible. The word colonial as a prefix
to the name of any mere substance.
quality science or thing, is apt either TO
leave me quite unmoved, or else produces
a sense of dullness or WEAKNESS.
