But I do mot care for this, That the effect of it ebould be to call atten tion to the history of that pericd greatly gratifios me. If it shall but ba the means of leading my countrymen toleatn the lesson of that epoch, I shall count myself fortunate in haviog by avy means boen the cause of this result, -Now, the facts are that having listened on this oc casion to a beautiful aad glowing eulogy on | Jefferson by Senator Vest, in which we ‘antithesls between bim and Alexander Ham- ilton was skarply drawn, somewhat to the dis- advantage of the Iatter, Irose to speak without the least premeditation, and conse- uently without a note, I was glad to hear offorson peaised, but 1 thought it ought never to be forgotten, and ought never to go uuncknowledged that Hamilton, when the occasion_arose, was superior to party, He knew the character of the nominoe of his party, of the man who seven years after was tried for treason and as the country did not know it, he did not hesitate t> proclatm it, This is the point I was mak. ing that there was time when it became the duty of a patriotic man to sacrifice party for country, and 1 was illustrating it by the great example of Hamilton, Natarall to James A, Bayard, for he stood nearer the © s _of Hamilton than any other foder- alist, My ccdmeis he was mg grandfather, and now I do not think I eaid he cast his vote for Jefferson, but whatever I may have said in the unstudied addre delivered, T a2y now, that my grandfather con- iributed mora than man except Hamilton to the defeat of Burr and the elec- tion of Jefferson and that he voted in such a way aa to secure that result. I could mot at all have said his vote was positively cast for Jefferson, for that would have been historical error, In the sixth volume of Jef- feraon’s correspondence are letters in which he urges Mr, flylrd to break with federalis and vote for Jefferson, and there are extant lotters of my grand father bearing & date revious to thess letters of Jefferson in which 0 declares his intention of doing that vna thing, That my grand fathar was actuati by tho purest motives is shown by three olats asked of Mr, Jefferson of tha federal- sts, which astion secured his election, 1--The state of public credit 2~The maintenance of the naval system. 3—That subordinate officsrs employed only in execution of details established by law, should not ba removed from office on grounds of a political character nor without complaint against their conduct, This last is pretty much the civil service rules. In reply Mr, Jefferson said that these points c with his own views and intention: his administration he made but sixteen re- movals, A maliclous constructien of the third point was ___ that it was & bargain for office. When, however, Mr, Jefferson nominated my grandfather fo the French mission, and he “was confirmed by the senate, ho declined it upon these grounds: The first was that he would be taking money from the treasury which he had not earned. This view being based upon the fact that under the old system the minister to France was paid, in addition to the salary of £9,000, an “outfit” of *'80,000,” and then an “‘outfit” of about four thousand, and theee two latter sums he received if he occupied the post but a month. The second ground of his declina- tion was that to accept . office under J efferson would impugn tha motive which had actuated hin in securing his election, *'I endeayored wholly to banish partisan politics,” said the secretary in referenca to his western trip, “It was simply a visit to the educational cen- ters of the weet.” sy ————— NEAR A DECISION, AFPAIRS IN PANAMA APPROACH A CRISIS OF GREAT SIGNIFIOANCE, Panaya, June 15, —Advices from Colon state thar affairs in that city are in bad shape, There is no polica force and every man has to guard his own property.

On Wednesday Mastor Mochanio Me- Connell and the boys showed the public what they oould do in the way of fast runnibg. About 11 o'clock In the fore- noon Mr. McConne!l recelved a mesiage from Omaha saying that a special carry. ing President Smith of the Oregon Rall- way and Navigation company, O. H. Dorrance, superintendent of the Ne- braska Division of the U. P. railway was enroute and It was necessary that they should be wheeled along forty-five miles an hour, This was dropplvg upon the boys unexpectedly, when thoy wera least prepared, as all the large-wheeled engines happened to be out upon the road. The train left Omaha at 11:56 a. m., and reached Grand Island, a distance of 164 miles, at 3:07 p. m. Here Eoglneer W, Whittock with engine 660 (old 76), s machine having 5 fu. G in. drlvers coupled on to the speclal. Ho left Gran Island at 3:156 p. m., and arrived In this city, a distance of 137.8 miles, at 6:20 p. m, The traln slowed up on signal at all statlons, stopping between Gibbon avd Kearney five minutes to walt on sectlon men who wero raising the track, and walted ten minutes at Piom Creek to get orders, Thls, we be- lleve is the fastest run ever made between Grand Island and North Platte, beating the famous Jewett & Palmer speclal’s tlme, which Warren Lloyd brought over the division in three hours and fourteen minates. In the round house hers an englne with larger than a five foot wheel was not to bs had. W. J. Cruzen with englne 576 (old 21) hooked on to the train and whistled out at 5:31, mountain time, From hera to Sidney ha rattled over the 123 miles in 2 hours end 61 minutes arriving 8:22. From Sldney to OCheyenne B, Furnas, with the 801 (old 78) danced them over the 102 miles of raila in even two hours. Comparing this with other fast runa we find that Wm, stock has msdo the run from Grand Is- 1and to North Platte in two hours and nine minutes and Warren Lloyd in three hours and fourteen minutes, betwean South Platte and Sidney John Phillips bas covered the dlstance In two hours and forty minutes. Carl Pierce In two houra and forty-two minutes, and W.J. Crusen in two hours and fifty-one minutes. It takes the U. P. boys to show these ‘‘car handa”of the effete east what can be done in the way of fast ranning when ooca- slon required; and the above isnot their best record. It is narrated that Mr. McConnell informed Mr, Crusen that he wanted them “to let ’em go as fast as the wheels would turn, and if they should get too hot and set the cab on fire, to crawl back and burrow in the coal,” whereupon it is alleged that Orugen went | 2jc high to the telegraph office and called for & alxty-five mile order. In justlce to the worthy master mechanic and the engln-| eer we would say that this, like some other stories, was largely exaggerated. IN WYOMING., Laramie Boomerang, One of the biggest eveats In the his- tory of railroading 1s in progreas now, a journey covering the distance from Omaha to Portland, and the object In- volving the lease of the Or:gon Railway snd Navigation company’s line trom Huntington, the terminatlon of the Oregon Short Line, thus glving them a terminus on the Paclfic coast. This train was made up of two coaches, and left Omaha at 7 o'clock ;ellndny morning. On board were President Smith and five directors of the Oregon Rallway and Navigation company, Gen- eral Superintendent Smith of the Union Pacific, Superintendents Dorrance and Dickinson on thelr respective divisions, and Superintendent Wurtele from Lar- amie west. At preclsely 8:30 o’clock p.m. to a second, the special train, drawn by En- gine No. 801, its engineer being John G. Furnas, and the conductor being George W. Siwmpson, left Sidney, Neb. for Cheyenne, and at precisely 10:30 o’clock rolled into Cheyenne, meking the dis tance of 101 miles in just two houre. One hundred and ene miles in 120 min- utes comes 8o near being a mile a minute that, as president Smich cxpreesed 1t, there aln’t much fon in it, and it beate us clear out of sight cver ocur way. So far as known this is by far the be:t tlne ever made for anything like the distance over any of the roads west of tho “Big Muddy.” At Cheyenne McDevitt, engineer, snd Billy Dann, ¢: niuctor, took charge of the train, the Jutter remarking that, after ke left Shermsy, ho intended to ‘‘make the passengers think they wera droppirg downa well.” The run over the hill tu Latamie, b0 miles, was made in one hour and for'y five minutes, Danvy Brees “pulled Ler wide open” after engives weie chenged here, nud made the run to Rawlics, 186 miler, in two houra and forty-five minuter, The distance from Rawlins to Green River, also 136 mlles, was coversd 1o two hours and foriy min- ates.
