"His fair fame, secure ln Its Immortality, shall

lustre."
GROWTH OF THE REPUBLIC.
The struggling Republic for which Washington
??as willing to give his life, and for which he ever
freely spent his fortune, and which at all times
was the object of his most earnest solicitude, has
Steadily and wonderfully developed along the lines
which his sagacltv and foresight carefully planned.
It has stood every trial, and at the dawn of a new
century Is stronger than ever to carry forward Its
mission of liberty. During all the intervening y ars
It has been true, forever true to the precepts of
?he Constitution which he and his Illustrious col?
leagues frame.I for Its guidance and govrnment.
Jle was the National architect, says Bancroft, the
historian, and but for him the Nation .ould not
have achieved Its Independence, could not have
formed Its union, could not have put the federal
Government Into operation. He had neither prece?
dent nor predecessor. Ills work was original and
constructive, and has successfully stood the se?
verest testa He selected the site for the capital
of the Republic he founded, and gave it the name
r?f tha Federal ? Ity, hut ?he Commission substi?
tuted ?the name of Washington as the m??re fitting,
snd to be a perpetual recognition of the servi 6 M
the Commander in-Chief ol the Continental Army.
the president of the convention which framed the
Cor.Ktltutlon and the first President of the Republic.
More than seventy millions of people acknowledge
allegiance ?o the flag which he made triumphant.
The Nation is his best eulogist and his no'let
rn'^nument.
1 heve been deeply Interested and touched by the
sentiments of his contempotaries, uttered a hun?
dred years ago, on the occasion of his death. The
Rev. Walter King, of Norwich, Conn., in the course
of an eloquent eulogy delivered In that city on
January d. lWrt. said ih part: "By one mighty ef
fort of manly resolution we were horn anew, and
declared our independence. Now commenced the
Moody content for everything we helrl dear. The
same Almighty Being, by whose guidance we were
hitherto conducted, r>che)d us with compassion, and
saw what we needed a pilot, a leader in the en?
terprise we had undertaken. He called for Wash?
ington, already pr? pared, anointed him as I!
vant, with regal dignity, and put Into his
the control of all our defensive operations. But
here admiration suppresses utterance. Your own
minds must All out the active character of the
man. A description of the warlike skill, the pro?
found wisdom, the prudence, the heroism snd in?
tegrity which he displayed In the character of ?he
?'ommander-ln-i'hief would suffer materially ln
hands like mine But this I may say: The eye.
of all our American Israel were placed upon him
as their savior, under the direction of Heaven, and
they were not disappointed."
The Rev Nathan Strong, pastor of the North
Presbyterian ?'hurch, ln Hartford, spoke as fol?
lows on December 27 ir?*: -He was as much the
angel of peace as or war. as much respe?te?l. as
deeply reverenced in the political cabinet for a
luminous coolness of disposition, whereby party
Jealousy became enlightened and ashamed of It?
self, as he was for a coolness of command in the
dreadful moment when empire, hung suspended or.
the feto of battle. HI. opinions became ?he oplnlo.i
of public bodies, and every man was pleased wit1,
himself when ho found he thought like Washing?
ton. I'rder the auspices of this great warrior, who
was formed by the Providence of Ood to
his countrv. the war was ended and America
ranked among the nations. He who might have
been a monarch retired to hi. own Vernon, un?
clothed of all authority, to enjoy the blessing of
being a free private cftlxen. This was a strange
sight, and gav<- a new trlumr'-i to human vil
triumph that hath never been exceeded ln the
history of the world, except It was by Ills second
reces., which was from ?he Presidency "f the
Cni?ed Stale.."
And on the day preceding December 2?. 17."?. In
the course of his memorable funeral oration ?before
both houses of Congreso, Major General Lee, then
a Representative from the State of Vlrglnlna. gave
utterance io the noble sentiment as forceful to?
day as in those early years of our National life:
"To the horrid din of battle sweet peace mi
and our virtuous chl?f. mindful only of th?
mon good. In a moment tempting personal aggran?
dizement hushed the discontent of growing M dl
tlon, and, surrendering I.I. power Into the hand,
from which be ha 1 rece|\.?1 It. converted his sword
Into a ploughshare, teac.iing an admiring world
that to oe truly great you must be ?ruly good."

A BULOOT OF WASHINGTON" DELIVERED j
BEFORE RED MEN.
Washington, Ver. ft The Order of Red Men held
?lab?rate ix? irises in memory of Washington in ?
Convention Hall to-night. Patriotic music by the :
Marine Band, songs and addresses formed features
of an interesting programme. George E Oreen ;
ormatiti, and speeches were made by Charle* ?.
LltChaitn and Robert T. Daniel. Senator Chauncey
? Depaw, of New-York, was the orator of thej
evening and had a hearty reception when he waa :
?????'???? l by the presiding officer as "tho greatest
orator of his kind."
MR. DEPEWS ORATION.
Benstor Depew paid ? high tribute to George
Washington, whose services to the country he re?
viewed in detail. He spoke in part as follows:
lndls?rlmlna?e eulogy h.i? obscured the lesson of I
hi? career. 11?? was neither a prodigy nor nn acci?
dent RSTS gifts of mind and body w.-ie ?tipple?
m.-nted by n genius of common sens??. He utilized '
with indomltnbl?? Industry every opportunity to I
master the art "f war nnd understand 111? science ,
Ol government. He was also the most m? I.T..I? ?
and farslghted business nan of his time. II?? loved
the hunting fl?ld, and was foremost in every SUI* :
leti?? sport. Jefferson says thai Washington was !
Ihe best hors'min hl ? rer saw. and his fondness ?
for fine horsop drew him from Mount Vernon to j
Philadelphia Ic witness a famous race. Th?? only
Officer wno cam? from the Moody field of the Hra.i- ?
dork massacre with honor and glory was Colonel
Washington. At the age of twenty-six he had been
for five yesrs In continuous active military s-rvl??*
und?r able generals of the British army and ln
Independent commands. In his campaigns he h.nl
hemme personally familiar with the country from
Boston on the east to the extreme houndarlee of the
Western wild? H<? was a trained soldier of brill?
iant reputation When he assumed command of th??
Continental Army at ?ambridge twenty years after?
ward. For two decades, as a member of the Vir?
ginia Hou?.? of Burgesses ar.d of Continental con?
venions and conf?rences, he had mastered the
controversie? with '"rent Britain and become a
constructive statesman of the first rank.
It has been given to no other man ln the story
of nations lo be the repository of the destinies of
his country in so many and such varied crises In
It* history' Washington's career demonstrate? the
value of 'character. In genius and acquirement In
?ever*! lines Hamilton. Jefferson and Adams were
his Superior*. Kach of them had a large follow
in?;, but the following formed a faction. All parties
reposed unquestioning confidence m the unrlga*
and unselfish patriotism of Washington.
' There Is but one character which ke?ps them In
awe." said Edmund Randolph. A favorite fad of
the levelling up by universal education in o?ir day
is the on?? that no man is indispensable to ?he
people, the Army, the Government, a cause or an
Industry. But in the clearer view of a century's
retrospect we now spe that the death of Washing
ion at any tlm? between 177?". and 1797 would hav?
changed ?he.destiny and delayed, if not destroyed,
the development of this Nation.
WASHINGTON'S GREAT EXAMPLE
When peace and Independence were assured th?
Victorious army encamped at Newburg ln sullen ,
discontent, ll was ragged, hungry and suffering |
from ions: arrears of pay. It had little respect for I
th? Congress which was so Indifferent to Its ser- |
vices and its wants. 1'nder the leadership of a pop?
ular soldier, who became in nft> r years Seeretary \
of War. It placed the dictatorship before Washing?
ton. There were in the past an unbroken line of
great captains, who In the hour of such tempta?
tion had surrendered patriotism to ambition. A !
general less loved would have been pet aside on
refusal and another chosen. Washington, hy !
speech and example, lifted his comrades above
th.lr sufferings and anger to loyal devotion for j
the Republic which had been won by their valor, I
and established for all time the only principle on ?
which a free government can exist, the subordina- i
tion of ihe military to civil authority.
No patriot ever acepte.] I gr?'at office so re- ;
luctantly. His regrets and misgivings he thus en- >
tered In hi? diary when he left his home to assume
the Presidency: "About IO o'clock I baile adieu to :
Mount Vernon. to private life and to domestic fe
?Iclty, and with a mind oppressed with more anx
lou? mul painful sensation? ?han I have words to
express, set out for New-York with the best dis- '
position to render servie? to my country In :
obedience to its call, but with less hope ?.f an- '
swerlng Its expeditions." Samuel Adams, Patrick ;
Henry John l.amh. the |**der of the Sons of Lib?
erty, and multitudes of th? best peop!* of the coun?
try, doubted the new scheme of government. A :
large majority of the public men of the Nation he
Ueved In the right of the States to nullify the acts
of the Federal Government, and that it possessed !
no power to enforce Its decrees. It bad neither
Navy nor merchant marine. Its unpaid Army was
disbanded. Th? re were no manufactures, no credit
and there was a discredited currency, Our b II? for
only ??).'''.' had been protested In Europe, nnd bv
protest nnd insurrection the people declared their
Inability to nay M.iTOO.OOO a year in taxes. The g(,v

of union and the only basis for confidence wer* the
Idolatrous devotion of the p.ople to their Pr?sident

Eight years after the fOreh.?dlng entry In his '
alary on accepting the Presidency he returned to
Mount Vernon. Ills work WSS 'ompleted He had '
given Naiionnl life to the stately sentences on the
paronmert containing the Constitution. Elisile end

In the .volution of a hundred years the Presi?
de nov he?, reached the dignity and power desire?!
by Washington, but denied by all his contem?

chief Magistracy were discovered by Jefferson when
he surrendered constitutional scruples for Nei

The peril of th?? nineteenth century was di?

an equal in Ihe affairs of the world among the
graal powers of Europe. At Manila we are at the

The Intensely hostile feeling of 17W toward ilreat

at ?Hohe, Arts., wears Just r.lain mining town
Clothed substantial hoots, and a bland smile
When ? confidence man comes nlong and take, him
for a fool. The smll- WM the thing lhat? led a
sharper to try the time worn bunco nnd confidence
game on Mr. Kasser MM day 'his week at the
Broadway ?'entrai Hotel. The bun? o steerer evi?
dently thought that a smile as bland a- lhat pos
l.y Mr. Kasher thinly covered a nature that
would prompt the owner to ;.ay a large sum for a
gold bri? k. The bunco steerer isn't ?n deck to
say wh-tlier It Is a fact or not. but there is llt'le
doubt that his mouth was made to water by the
?tory of how one of his Ilk got ?6.?00 from John
French, of Brooklyn.
The bunco man met Mr. Kasser and suggested
that they be friends, "P.ein' as how we're both
strangers In town together." said he.
"<ih. I guess I fin get along I've been an orphan
?ver sin"? my fath.r and mother died,'' returned
the miner, with his smile w rklng. A Any or two
passed, and quit,? "accidentally." of course, the
j bunco man met Mr. Kasser again, and this time he
Insisted on being friendly. He led the Arlzonan
to a tibie beside which sat a confederate, and In?
troduced him. Then a little game of cards some?
where "uprown" wts suggested by Steerer No. 1,
and assented lo by St'erer No. 2.
That Is about as far as the bunco men worked
their new claim. A peculiar light ?hone In the
eves of Mr, Kasser, of Arizona. He gentlv placed
his hand on the collar of No. 1, nnd said:
"I_et's go over to the hotel clerk and find out
about your living here for the last ten years. You
look to me like a coy ?te. Come right nlong and have
the clerk sav whether I'm mistaken."
No. I he|e| back, \iut Mr Ka-ser', grip would
have pulled ? cable car. The clerk said Nir. Steerer
? No. ? did not live there, hut that he'd heen loaf?
ing around several days.
"Cm! All right. He's a doggone liar then." said
? a-ser, turning on No. I, "and I guess I'll Just soak
bin. a couple on general principles"
Biff biff!
There was a sound like dropping a quarter of
frozen beef on a butcher*? block. No. 2 r'i'hed for?
ward to help, and ran plump against the sturdy
11s? of ih? miner. Then there was a sound of scur?
rying feei, and the two would-be buno men shot
through the cafe door ?,
"No doubt there ar??* plenty of 'suckers' fioatin'
around this 'ere town." said Mr Kasser, reflective?
ly, as he ptMhed up his cuffs, "but them fe|le-s
didn't get noil of one that time."
Then ten men crowded around the copper miner
and wanted to buy him drinks and cigars, while the
happiest man of nil was the hotel clerk, who h?d
been studying for thrpe days how to get rid of
the bunco men.

Mr. Rrooks said half the trusts will d.sappe?
with the first trade depression, hut many will M
left to he handled hy the people. He said the ?'iftr
Trust and the Anthracite Coal Trust sre a!?r_ott
gone to pieces because of competition, and de?
clare that ther? Is not a single ei?.* of .i'r<olut*
monopoly In sight. Many of the tr?!??; were com?
mitting suicide hy using too much water, and were
bound to burs? when a ? ertaln point Is rea -bed
The people must either curb trusts by law or be
driven to Socialism.
Father Ducey was the next speaker. He sail be
was opposed to the methods of the trust? as
they were opposed to th? laws of Christianity The
religious men who were in the trusts to-day were
worse than the Pharisee?. The trusts trusted no
on? but themselves, and they were no?
trusting. _.

Fine Books for Christmas
Trouble with a preacher is to get a text for his sermon. Other folks have troubles,
too, and William Dean Howells has found excuse for the making of two sumptuous, read?
able volumes by setting an old pair off on "Their Silver Wedding Journey." It wasn 1
the anniversary of any such event, but you can imagine what Howells managed to see and
to do (as a silver-wedding journey maker). Eighty-four full-page illustrations and eighty?
one vignette headings are the art features. Fat books, beautifully bound?fact is, the
Harpers made them. The set sells here at $3. VS,
Then we've just received from the press of the Harpers the Becky Sharp editior
of Vanity Fair, with the original play-bill o? Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske's productioB?4
the Fifth Avenue Theatre this season. And the pictures are situations of the Fiske ?TO*
duction, made and used by her permission. Rather nice for a gift?a New Vork souvt?*1
withat. $1.90.
But every fit book is here?in this principal retail book store?the new ones in every
case on the very day of their publication.
Look in. If the store seems full, just go across Niuth street?74 E.?where we've
a roomy Christmas annex book store. Anything at either place.

every case.
It is a busy, bright half acre?this Basement Toy Store. New York appreciate? I
?its wealth of goods, its fair prices. Welcome?ii just to look. As welcome si
though you came to buy.
