Momentous Events of Today.

Soldiers who fought in great battles were after
wards able to speak only of their own narrow ex-
pcrience, not having any but the vaguest concep-
ton OF the magnitude of the event in which they
humbly participated Business men and men dis
tingushcd for great financial achievement had only
the dinmest conception OF the magnitude and char
| actcr OF the business changes which began in the
latter part of President Mckinleys first admins
tration. Soldiers and hnanciers who arc in the
thick OF great events cannot tell the story and
! cannot write the history at least until years have
elapsed The thought is commonly expressed by
the statement that the perspective is too near
Something of that kind is in progress in the
United States at this time. Not even the great
hnancers fully realize the magnitude OF the
events now in progress in the United States
Some dimly but not very far into the future
All realize that influences, new inspirations
new conditions which to be of momentous inn
portancc to the United States now prevailing
everywhere.
1t is almost with batcd breath that those who
handling the stupendous currents which are
bringing funds into the United States speak of this
movement. This caution in speaking is not wholly
due to motives OF prudence is it an expression
exclusively of the secrecy with which great fnan-
cial undertakings conducted. 1t is also due to
the fact that the enormous and marvelously swift
currents bearing funds that are flowing this way
tend almost to stagger the imagination. There is
some realization that whatever world changes may
come after the in Europe is ended the United
States is likely to be less embarrassed by the pen
altes which follow war than any other nation.
There is also some understanding Of the economic
principle which lies at the bottom Of the distrbu-
ton of the stupendous funds throughout the United
States. Ultimately they must stimulate going in
dustres and also quicken many which in the recent
business stagnaton have become almost moribund
There is also good understanding of the fact
that We stand today too these momentous
impulses fully to appreciate them. And yet under
lying this somewhat vague feeling there is con-
seiousness that the United States is now entering
upon an era in which we likely to become chief
| among the powers of the world, both material and
moral, and one of the best of the evidences that
our material growth is to be in sympathy with
moral advance which will be of beneficial influence
throughout the world is the predominant feeling

After the return of Gen. Grant from

very free and frank when in conversa-
ton with his friends. He was no longer
the taciturn man he was known 10 ne
when he was in command of the army
Gen Grants intimate friends knew that
his taciturnity was assumed because he
deemed that imperative as part of his
military strategy He talked of friends
and of acquaintances with whom he was
in touch after he entered political life
with perfect freedom. and IL he was
ever called upon to criticise he did that
in the most kindly spirit. To some OF
his friends in this city. Gen. Grant once
said that when he was In public life

relied completely for advice and sup

in any one of these three men. One of
them WAS Hamilton Fish. who was Sec
rotary of State in Grants administra-
ton: another was George s. Boutwell,
who was Secretary of the Treasury I'M
der Grant. and the third was George F.
Edmunds who entered the United States
Senate as Senator from Vermont three
years before Grant became President.
Not many persons knew that 1t was
upon Senator Edmunds that President
Grant chiefly relied. so far as the Sem

does not permit any to draw two salaries
from the government It would seem that the

IN the naval reserve without additional compcn-
