 tives five days after his death, by John Marshall, and passed unanimous ly states exactly if trifle rhetori- cally, the position of Washington in American history; first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
 Washington's disorders was an oede- matous affection of the wind-pipe contracted by careless exposure during a ride in a snow-storn, and aggravated by neglect afterwards, and by such
 contemporary remedies as excessive |bleedings, gargles of 'molasses, vine- gar and butter" and vinegar and sage tea," which almost suffocated him. and a blister of cantharides on the
 throat. He died without theatrical adieus; his last words were only bus mess directions, affectionate remem- brances to relatives, and repeated apologies to the physicians and attend ants for the trouble he was giving them. Just before he died, says his secretary, MT. Lear, he felt his own pulse; his countenance changed the attending physician placed his hand over the eyes of the dying man, "and he expired without a struggle or a sigh

 When the Federal government met at Philadelphia in May 1787 to frame the present constitution he was pres ent as a delegate from Virginia, tho much against his will; and a unani- nous vote at once made him the presiding officer. He took no part in She debates, however, beyond such suggestive hints as his proposal to amend a restriction of the standing army to 5000 men by forbidding any enemy to invade the United States with more than 5000. He approved the constitution which was decided up- on, believing, as he said, that it was the best constitution which could be obtained at that epoch, and that this or a dissolution awaits our choice, and is the only alternative" All his in1u- ence was given to secure it's ratifica- ton, and his influence was probably decisive. When it had been ratified, and the time came to elect president there was no more hesitation than if the country had been a thoocracy. The office of president had been "cut to fit the measure of George Washing ton," and no one thoU".t of aay other person for it. The unanimous vote of the electors. made him the first

 for his benefit beg5if appear; some
 spoke of him as the "sMpfather of his
 country" The attacks embittered the close of his term of service; he declared, in cabinet meeting in 1793, that The had never repented but once hay ing slipped the moment of resigning his office and that was every moment since" Indeed, the most unpleasant portions of Jefferson's Ana are those i in which, with an air of psychological
 dissection he details the storms of pas
 sion into wich the president was hur- 1 ried by the newspaper attacks upon him.
 These attacks however, came from very small fraction of the politicians; the people neve r wavered in their de- votion to the president and his elec- ton would have been unanimous in 1796, as in 17S9 and 1792, if he had been willing to serve.
 All accounts agree that Washington was of imposing presence. He meas ured just 6feet when prepared for
 burial; but his height, minis prime, as given in his orders for clothing from London, was inches more. La Fay cite says that his hands were "the largest he ever saw on a man." Cur tis says that his complication was flair,
 but considerably florid." His weight
 was about 220 pounds. The varius and widely differing portraits of him find exhaustive treatment in the seventh volume of Winsor's Narrative and Crit ] ical History of the United States. The editor thinks that the favorite
 profile has been unquestionably Hou-
 don's, with Stuart's canvass for the full face, and probably Trumbulrs for the figure" Stuart's face, however, gives the popular notion of Washington,
 though it has always been a subject of
 curious speculation to some minds
 how much of the calm and benign ex- pression of the face was due to the
 shape of Washington's false teeth.
 Washington was childless; said the
 people of his time, he was the father only of. his country. Collateral
 branches of the family have given the
 Lees, the Curtises, and other families @ claim to an infusion Of the blood;
 but no direct decendants of Washing ton can claim his honors, or disgrace his name. His estate of Mount Vernon
 was acquired in 1858 by an association,
 and has been practically national property ever since.
 Retiring from the presidency in
 1797, Washington resumed the plan
 tation life which he most loved, the
 society of his family, and the care of
 his slaves. He had resolved some i time before never to obtain another slave, and wished from his soul' that his state could be persuaded to abol- ish slavery; it might prevent much future mischief" He was too old,
 however, to attempt further innova-
 tions. In 179S he was made command
 da-in-chief of the provisional army raised in expectation of open war with
 France, and was fretted almost beyond endurance by the quarrels of Federal ist politicians about the distribution of tary preparations, he was struck down by sudden illness, which lasted but for a day, and he died at Mount Vernon

STAMP OUT POLITICS.

The assertion of Senator Stone
that the republican members of con-
gress are lining up against the ad-
ministration is untimely and unwise.
Even il true-which few people be-
lieve-it would be most unwise on
the part OF the administration to
take note of it. President Wilson
and his cabinet has been entrusted,
under the constitution, with the con-
duct OF the war, and the great mass
of the American people are satisfied
with the progress they are making.
That there have been mistakes made,
none will deny. But these mistakes
have not been of such nature as to
ALLEVIATE the support of republican
members.
Naturally, the elections of the
coming summer and fall call for or
ganization of all parties, and this is
going on, the democrats as well as
all others. This can be done, how
ever, without in any measure taking
from the loyal support of the war
program. We believe it will be so
done.
Senator Stone should remember
that his own loyalty is of the forced
brand. At the head of the senate
committee on foreign affairs, he OPP
posed the United States entering the
war, up to the very last, and only
after the die was cast did he pledge
his support to the administration
He predicted all manner of calami-
ties for the country, and there will
not be wanting those who would ac-
cuse him of cherishing desire to
come back with an II told you so.
The senator is practically alone in
his fears for the country. The other
party leaders seem satisfied with the
splendid support accorded the presi-
dents war policy by his political OPP
ponents. and which support they have
every reason TO believe will be con-
tinued.
