Orator and poet and preacher have declared the lessons which suggest themselves on the hundredth anniversary of the imanguration of the first President. Parades, balls, banquets, and fire- ‘Works give place fora time toa consideration of the meaning of all the acts of celebration. ‘The birth of a nation under the constitution, George Washington the President inangurated on the day we celebrate, and the constitution itself, the great instrument upon whose lines the republic has steadily developed during its growth of a century, are the texts of the ocea- sion. Chauncey M. Depew has paid eloquent tribute to the man. the instrument, and the na- tion to be commemorated. Allover the land, in Washington as in the other cities, the same inspiring thougits have received utterance from the orators of the day. Centennial reflections involve always a point- ing with pride to the growth of the thing com- memorated during the period of its existenc The material development of America in its first hundred years was more fully and more eppropriately ilinstrated in the centennial cele- bration of 1876. The existence and growth of the government, formally set in motion in 1789, are especially to be remembered to-day. The miserable weakness of the bond holding together federated colonies, the difficulties the way of allaying sectionsl, colonial and individual jealousies iu order to estuablis government, a more com knit republ id the grand part played by Washington in overcoming these difficulties should never be forgotten. The constitution setting forth the framework of government upon which the contending interests compro- mised, is worthy in its results of the enlogies which Gladstone has bestow pon it. It has the glory of outlining a republic which has en- dared with incre a stronger central t and closely- for the period of a hu: i for itsown amendy the admission of new states on an equal footing with the orig- inal band, a flexibility has been attained which has permitted pesceful revolutions to take place, altering entirely the make-up of the nation, 4 from section to section the seat of poiitical, power:—revolutions which could not otherwise be omplished except throngh bloodshed «nd violent disruption of the existing government.

It wants, as it claims in its memorials to the President, a man who is “thoroughly aeqnainted with the people and the needs of this great region.” The west has already two members of the commission, and able men at that, in Judge Cooley and Wilham BR. Morrison. The commission was formed not wholly for the benetit of the west, but with a View to protecting the interests of all sections equally; and itis as important that eastern corporations should be kept in order, and east- ern capitalists who have invested in western railroads protected, as that the western farm- ers should absorb all the attention of the gov- ernment supervisors. The west isa great and growing region, and deserves her full share of national couxideration, but the President wil? be quite justified in keeping the commission balanced between the east, west, and sou? it was originally constituted, $e Nothing that is too severe can be sad of the Jecal post-office quarters.
