.When a great man is sent into the
world to accomplish a great work he
.does not usually oome with crown and
scepter, or any of tho outward symbolf
of power. Only a very few really groat
men of action In all tho world's history
havo been born to hereditary thrones
Alexander and Frederick and perhapi
Gustavus Adolphua and two or three
others of lesser note, would exhaust the
list. Tho.C&Msar, the Cromwells, the
Napoleons, tho Washingtons were not
born to the purple. No thunders of ac?
elamatlon or of cannon proclaimed the
moment of their birth; no sounding
titles wero showered upon their baby
heads; no happy, anxious peoples hung
over their royal cradles. But better
far than all these honors and trappings
which have been so often wasted upon
the worthless scions of monarchy, each
one of these camo into tho world with a
scepter of power, a wand of authority
in his llttla right hand whio tho great
God had given him, and which, though
invisible then, was to rule over men
and nations with more than kingly
sway.
There is no need to recount in detail
tho story of'Washington's life. The
American people and the lovers of lib
erty throughout the earth already
know it by heart. The broad outline,
from his birth in Westmoreland, Va.,
on tho 22d of February, 1782, to his
death at historic Mount Vernon on the
14th of December, 1700, shows the suc
cess! vo stages of its development; from
the truthful and manly boy to the

officer who saved Braddock's army
from annihilation on the banks of the
bloody Monongahcla; tho young Vir
ginia planter and ardent patriot, mem
ber of tho colonial'house of burgesses
and of tho Continental congress; tho
commandcr in chief of tho American
army and tho victorious leader of tho
revolution; the wise and sagacious
statesman and first president of the
new republic?tho liberator, hero and
father of his country.
It is a happy circumstance, as it
seems to me, that this typical and
greatest American hero should come
from tho bestf unmixed, unpolluted
English and American stock. While
many of the leading generals of the
revolution wero foreigners, like Lafay
ette, De Kalb, Steuben and Koniusco,
and others unacclimatcd Englishmen,
like Gates and Charles Leo, Washington
could traco his lineage back through
many centuries to the best Saxon and
Norman blood and through three gen
erations of liko inheritance on this side
of tho Atlantic. No Amorlcan has ever
had a better representative stock and
ancestry; coming from that solid mid
dle class of landed gentry and proprie
tors?the classes that produced Ilamp
den and Cromwell, and which has been
tho bulwark of English' liberty for a
thousand yoars. With such an ances
try behind him, and such interests cen
tered in tho sod of his nativo land, he
was a man fitted to step forward in de
fense of tho liberties of tho colonies
against the oppression of the mother
country.
With his appointment to the city
command of the continental forces
Junes, 1775. at tho age of 4ft, tho great
public career of Washington conv
mcnccd. So long had I*rovhlenco bee*
holding him in reserve for this supreme
hour! The mighty soven years' struggle
that followed was tho fiery furnace in
which his character was tried and out
of which it came without tarnish or
alloy?the whitest, purest and brightest
in history. It is not claimed that
Washington was a great military
genius like Frederick or Napoleon.
Ho won In the great struggle not by
masterly strategy In his campaigns, or
by brilliant tactics in his battles. But
if ho did not win many groat victories,
like Leuthen or Austerlitx, he suffered
no great and crushing defeats like
Waterloo, and success at last approved
his generalship and crowned him with
never dying honor. He must be judged
here by the result.
Although a brave and gallant soldier
in his younger days, ho had never com
manded any large body of men, or an
army in tho field. The difficulties of
his position at the head of the revolu
tionary army wero formidable and
immense. lie had no organized gov
ernment or nation behind him, but
only a few scattered colonies, sparsely
populated, stretching along the At
