In the Slity-fourth Congress.
To assume that President Wiion
does not recognize the difficulties that
will beset his dealings with the Sixty
fourth Congress would be to give
small credit to bis Intelligence. The
Democratic majorities are Inharmo
nious, and already are engaged In
lively quarrels ; the Republicans are
Invigorated and determined. The
House majority Is small and the po
litical exigencies of Southern pontics
will call from the chamber many of
its members when tho spring primary
campaigns begin. The leader of this
majority Is opposed to tho iollcy ad
vocated by the President with respect
of preparedness for national defence.

The Sixty-third Congress was con
spicuous for its acceptance of the Pres-
1
ldantlal wish as the determining fnctor ,
la matters of legislation. What Mr.
Wilson asked for the Democrats tried
to give him; doubtfully and reluc
tantly sometimes, but generally with
a fair semblance of good grace. The
Sixty-fourth Congress holds no prom
ise of humility or self-dentnl.
Nor Is this spirit of Independence
to ha reerntteil If mov milllfv the
Plana of individuals, but It will not
obstruct the enactment of measures !
In behalf of which the citizens of the I
conntry nre united ; It may adversely
affect the ambitions of small coteries
of men, but It will not deny any re
form seriously demanded by tho na
tion. And by It alono Can tho Con
greas be restored to Its place as a
coordinate department of the flovern
ment, and rescued from the subordina
tion into which it has fallen.

HOW THE HESSIANS CAME.
A Historical Examination of George
lll.'s Hireling Army.
To thr KditoR ok Tns Sun Sir: The
Interrogatory challenge conveyed by the
pen name "Amnii Wright" invitee this
reply to his oommiinlcatlon or Novem
ber 1. He asks:
"In the hour of our creates! peril,
when our people were fixating nsalnst
oyeiwhelmin odds to establish this na
tion, nf did the Uermfim do to IM
eaemf" Tho Italics nre mlna He
answers his own question by saying,
'They sold to Britain 80,000 soldiers
to help destroy Washington and his
little army."
Now let us submit that reply to "the
bright light of truth."
By reference to his history "Ammi
Wright" will learn that Wilheton V. of
Hesae-Cassel established tho practice
of hiring out Hessian soldiers to flsht
in the service of foreign princes. His
son tho Lantlsraf, Friedrlch I . King of
Bworten In 1720. resigned hH Hes."lan
territories to his brother Wilhelm VIII.,
who fought under the British and
Hanoverian flog in tho Seven Years
war. His son Frledrlch II. Kept up
tha nrartlea of hlrlns Hessian soldiers
to his royal friends when the miter
needed additional troop".
Frledrlch II. and King fioorgs III.
of England, who was also the ruler of
what later became the Kingdom of
Hanover, were tston companions Frled
rlch had men to sell and needed
money to keep Up his splendid court ;
1 Oaofgt had It, 000,000 and rwM-dcd more
men ; they traded. Frledrlch sot tho
3,000,000 and George got 22.000, not
1 30,000, pf Friedrlch's Hessian hirelings,
I and tht o are the men whom Oeonre
sent to America "to help destroy Wash
ington and his little army "
This type of Hessians made a business

A more truthful answer to the query
made by "Ammi Wright" as to what
Germany did for us "in our hour of
greatest peril" is expressed In one word:
the immortal mime of Steuben.
Steuben was what Germany did for
us then ; Steulten, "the drill master of
our Revolutionary army."
To prove that Steuben's valiant ser
