1t soon became evident that Wash
ington had his back to the wall
and was set and ready TO make an
issue which involved something more
than exchange OF words. and the
hurting Of somebody in more ways
than through the sensibilities. He
dismissed French consuls and vice
consuls who were active in stirring
up tumults, and who made them
elves offensive to this government

did not 60 home. He had received
clear limitations that the guillotine-,
. iuyariable reward OF the unsuccess-
ful under his home administration
awaited simply his precence, to begin
operations on his person. In his view,
blood was fine fertilizer for the seeds
Of liberty, but he did not care TO
/ contribute any OF his own.
The guillotine as a patriotic insti-
tuition was beautiful, at a discreet
distance. As a practical instrumen-
fa'ity for the correction OF diploma
tic mischances, it failed to appeal to
him.
He remained in this country, mar

Il New York State, and like most
other impossible foreign %reforner5,
We have with us today, concluded
that a government under which lie
and property are reasonably safe, IS
on the whole, preferable to condi-
tions under which bullets and blades
are wont to act rather at random.
Washington was never a man to
keep his ear to the ground. He was
a practical man who knew men,
human nature, and his own country.
He could o be made to mistake the
clamors of mobs for the voice of the
people and obey them as mandates
from the Deity. He knew the great
underlying power OF conservatism and
real patriotism which lies beneath the
tumult and the shrill shouting,
He knew well the difference be-
tween the thin whey of effeminized
reasoning, and tho good cream OF
conclusion, based on knowing things
themselves.
He knew that the dreams OF i'm
practical d~oCtrinaires, the more robust
desires OF the cr.minally inclined, the
sickly cravings of the disappointed
the covetous and vain, and the vaga-
rics of fuddled or inflamed gentry
were far apart from the sober
thoughts and the long fixed purposes
uf the real, working, producing and
thinking American people-the people
whose slow wrath crushes butterfly
and scorpion alike, and whose stolid
determination is im~pregnable.
SO, when we are frightened by ugly
rational symptoms. it is reassuring
to remember that ike symptoms APP
peared long ago. far more virulently
and subsidized with no harm done, and
leaving no trace, We can also lind
Substantial comfort in the thoughts,
that if a frail, unfinished str,i,turc
endured a worse shock than i pos
sible now, there car be no reason TO
fear for the Nation as it is.
We need go back no further than
our Civil War TO understand ihat if
the numbers, the powers, the brains, or
panization, and courage enlisted IN
tie Southern C~onlederacy, failed to
dismember or destroy this Union. no
other force now imaginable, can dis
