wAsuINGToN's INAUGURATION.

The United States government is one
hundred and twcnty-four years old. On
April 80, l7S9, at Federal hall, corner Of
Wall and Nassau streets. George Wash
inEton was duly inaugurtted first pres
ident of the United States, and the eX-
pertinent of government on these
western shores was fairly begun.
The beginning was most suspicious,
Than Washington no finer man evor
stood at the forefront Of a nations lito.
or Washington America is eminenty
proud, and OF Washington America has
thu right to be proud, for the Father
of His Country was In every sense
Of the word, a whole man. Time has
somewhat disturbed the halo that for \
long while held the place about tho
great mans head. 1t has been proven
thai WASHINGTON was human, and all
tn, more thanks for that. But after the
closest scrutiny, from every part OF the
world. for q century and a quarter, II Is
sim to be proven that anything mean,
or mercenary, or dshonorahle or un-
patriotic ever came near the head or
heart of our first president,
Washington loved hts country with a
core. His 'irst last and only ambition
was to do what he could to promote the
high ends to which the Republic was
dedicated. Politics, as defined by Arts
totle, is the Science of government "
Washington was not a learned man, and
probably knew very little Of Aristotle. but
his head was clear and his heart was
pure. and he, too, felt that politics was
the science of government, and that the
result of the government should be the
greatest good to the greatest number
of his fellow citizens.
From that high and sacred conviction
Washington never once swerved, and
when lac Quit his exalted office he did
so with clean hands and unsrnirched
fame. leaving behind him "A name which
is probably the most nlustrious In tho
annals OF the race.
Rapid and phenomenal has been the
progress Of Washingtons country. 1t
seems like dream rather than the solid
est OF historical facts. The Romans, after
lighting tooth and nail' for three hun
drcd years, found themselves with a ter
ritorY no larger than that comprised
within the limits OF Greater New York.
ia one hundred and twenty-four years
the Americans are the owners OF a ter
ritory in comparison with which the Ro-
man Empire. when at the height OF its
glory, was but a small affair-a territory
wherein are operant the greatest indus
trial. economic, moral and political forces
that this old planet ever witnessed.
