Other mighty minds planned and reared the structure But Washinglon's achievements overtops all, Shasta towers above the surroundings, majestic and unapproachable. Jefferson was the inspiration of the declaration of inde- pendence; Hamilton was the incar- nation of the constitution; Jackson beat back the invaders at New Orleans, and Lincoln and Grant drove the knife to the heart of slavery and made union and freedom o reality:s Washington was the embodiment of strength and | courage in war as well as ths anchor of safety in the no less trying period sue- ceeding the close of the revolution. Base indeed would be our gratitude did we not revere his memory, though we fail in emulating his virtues and heed- ing his precepts. Whence did his genius spring? A majority of the saints in freedom’s calendac rose from humble beginnings. The fathers in their youth enjoyed and profited by royal favors shown their ancestos But in our time the mighty names in civil and military life are those of men whose beginnings were of the humblest. Lincoln jostled with poverty, yet by his own efforts, with the dim flicker of candle light, he laid the foundation of an education that fitted him for the grave responsibilities so grandly performed in manhood’s years. Grant tanned hides by day aud strug- gled with the three Rs by night. Gar field plodded the tow path of o canal and earned the wherewith to pay a collegre course. None of the great men in liberty’s roll of honor had a training like that of Washington. As his achievementsover- shadowed ail others, so his occupation in the yecars preceding the revo ution differed from that of his contempor- ies and suceessors, There are those who believe hissuccess in war and peace hud its foundation in his early environ- ments. Mensuved by the ocxperiences and triumphs of this age, there are sub- stantial reasons for believing that he who was “the first. the last, the best; the Cincinnatus of the west,” was well equipped for the fracas precipitatod by King George. Washington was a real estate boomer! Years before the bosom of war over- spread the land, and while yet o loyal subject of the portidious George, Wash- ington busied himself unioading broad acres on all comers, Ho was 1n the vortex of the boom then raging along the Ohio, and with charactoristic fore ight had secured a tract of elegant dimensions. His advertisement appears in the first paper printed in Baltimore, the Maryland Jowrnal and Bultimore Advertiser, August 20, 1773, In the copious phraseology of dinlomacy, Wasnington talks of land and lots and plats. Itisa curiosit nd was written by Washington at a time when such a thought as leading the continental army was farthest from his minu. It can hardly fail to enthuse the boomers of today. The advertisement is as follows: Mr. Veryoy, in Virginia, July 15, 17 The subseriver having obtainod patents for upwards of 20,000 acres of land on the Obio and Great Kanhawa (10,000 of which are sit- uated on the banks of tho first mentioned river, botween the mouths of the two Kan- hawas, and the remainder on the Great Konhawa, or new river, from the mouth, or near it, ubwards, in one continued survey proposes to divide the samointo any sized tenements that may be desired, and leaso them upon modorate terms, allowing a rea- souable number of years' rent free, provided, within the space of two years from next Octover threo acres for ovory fifty contained wn each lot, and proportionably fora lesser auantity, shail be clearod und fenced and tilled; and that by or before the time limited for the commencoment of the frst rent, five acres for every 100, and proportionably as above, shall b enclosed and laid down 1n good grass for meadow, and, morcover, that atleast fifty good frait trees for every like quautity of land shall bo planted on the premises, Any person inclinable to settle on these lands may be moro fully informed of the terms by applying to the subscriber, near Aloxundria, or, in his absonce, to Mr. Lund Washington; aud would do well in communi- cating their intentions bafore October 1, next, in order that a suflicient number of lots may be laid off to snswer tho demands, As these lauds are among che first which have been surveyed in the part of the coun- try they lie in, it is almost needless to prem- ise that none can exceed them in luxuriance of soil or convenience of situation, ali them lying on the bauks of either of the Ohlo or Kanhawa and abounding with fine fish and wild fowls of various kinds, so aiso in most excellent meadows, many of which (by tho bountiful hand of nature) are, in their pres- cnt state, almost fit for the scythe, From every part of these lands water car- riageis now bad to Lort Pitt by an easy communication, and from Fort Pitt up the Monongahela to Kedstone.

A committee can give this braanch of the work all the attention required. The association is therefore ready now 1o take up the subject of factories and other new industries with the same vigor it manifested in pursuing in- quiries into the expenditure of public funds, It has not been negligent of this branch of the work hitherto. A great deal of time has been given to corre- spondence and nogotiations with eastern capitalists. The one thing now needed to close profitable deals with eastern es- tablishments is money, not for bonuses, butto pay cost of removal and other legitimate oxpenses incident to efforts in this direction. Now let the citizens of Omaha rally to the assistance of the sociation and place in its hands suffi- cient funds to enable its officers to mov forward in their good work with that confidence which comes with a con- sciousness of the substantial support of an enterprising community. PROTECTION OF FOREIGN RESIDENTS. The United States senate has adopted a resolution instructing the committee on foreign relations to report such pro- visions of law as will empower the fed- eral courts to try cases of criminal offerses against the subjects of foreign governments domiciled in the United States when involving the consideration of international ions. The com- mittee will also report such police and judicial process as will enable the gov- ernment of the United States to use its constitutional power to define and pun- ish crimes aguinst treaty rights con- ferred upon foreigners, This resolution was callaa out by that portion of the president’s message which veferred to the ‘'deplorable and dis- creditable incident of the lynching at New Orleans of eleven men of Italian nativity.” It could not, of course, apply especially to that occurrence, for the reason thut no law now passed by congress would be retroactive so as to reach those concerned in the New Orleans affaiv, but the design in view is to give to the subject of n foreign power with whose government the United States has rveciprocal treaty relations the sume protection as is afforded to our own citizens, nd for this purpose it is proposed to give the courts of the United States jurisdiction in such cases, instend of leaving the matter to the courts of the respective states. In his last annual message President Harvison expressed the belief that it would be entirely competent for con- gress to make offenses against the treaty rights of foreigners domicilod in the United States cognizable in the federal courts. Asitis the federal ofli- cors and courts havo no power in such cases to intervene either for the protec- tion of a foreign citizen or for the punishmert of his slayers. ‘[t scems to me to follow,” said the president, “in this state of the law, that the officers of the state charged with police and judi- ciul powers in such cases must, in the consideration of international questions growing out of such incidents, be re- garded is such sense as federal agents as to make this government answerable for their acts in cases where it wonld be answerable if the United States had used its constitutional power to define and punish crimes aguinst treaty rights,” The anomalous position of the federal government in this respect was y clearly brought out in connection with the New Orleans incident, and there was a very general expression of opinion that there ought to be legis! tion which would give the federal courts power to takoe notice of and punish offenses ngainst treaty rights. The con- tention of our government has been that it cun guarantee only such protection to the subjects of foreign governments domiciled here as is given to its own citizens, but it would seem to be obvious that in cases of offenses involving inter- national questions the government ought not to be, as it now is, helpless to pro- teet those to whom it has accorded treaty rights. The welfare of Ameri- can citizens in foreign lands, as well as justice to the subjects of other govern- ments domiciled here, may be involved in the wise determination of the ques- tion, ‘turers establishe: is THE NEW YORK CONVENTION. “The first important move in the pre liminary work of the national contest of 1892 will be made today. The meet- ingof the New York state domocratic convention to select delegates to the na- tional convention, which will meet at Chicago in June, will command the at- tention of politicians throughout the country. The holding of such a conven- tion ut this time of the year is a radical innovation, It is without precedent in the political history of New York, and, s0 far as appears, of all the other stites, it furnishes striking evidence of the in- difference to usage of the dominant fae- tion in the politics of the Kmpire state when it has an object to attain, As already announced. the convention will be practically unanimous in favor of David Bennett Hill as the eandidate of the democracy for president, The scove or 0 of delegates who do not tavor him will cut nofigure whatever in the proceedings, even if they determine to munifest opposition. Nor will any atten- tion be paid to protests.

Of course an effort will be made to prevent the dclegation ected by today’s convention from tak- ing its seat in the national body, but it is hardly possible that this can succeed. Whatever may be said about the policy of calling a mid-winter convention, or regarding the violation of usage and precedent, there cun be no question that the convention at Albany today is regu- lar and, therefore, the national conven- tion will be bound to rvespect its action. The situation simply is that Mr. Cleve land has been utterly routed in his own state, and has been chown to be bardiy an important factor in the democratic politics of Now York. He cannot hops 10 rehabilitate himeelf. He is still strong elsewhere, though not generally as strong as he has been, but if his cause is hopelessin the state that is absolutely necessary to democratic success in the nutional contest it matters not that he is strong in other states, Tho fact that Hill will have the New York delegation does not, however, insure him the nomi- nation, It will give him a very great pull, undoubtedly, for it appears to dem- onstrate that he would be more likely than any other candidate to carry the Empire state, but his weakness olse- where will receive due consideration. The action of the Albany convention to- day will not render more easy for the democratic party the settlement of the dilemma which confronts it. renow ap: dopted, long as ng THE democrats in congress opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver are making every possible eflort to pre- vent the party com mitting itself to that policy at the present session. * Their latest step is a renewal of tho effort to get a caucus cxpression on the subject, but whether they will be mnore success- ful than before is questionable. Tt is evident that the free coinage men ace determined to make the very best of their opportunity, und it has become steadily more apparent that the election of Me. Crisp to the speakership was a distinct vietovy for free coinage. How strong the fecling is between the fac- tions was shown iin tho house on Thurs- day in the controversy hetween Mr. Bland, chairman of tho committee on weights and measures and author of the fred coinage bill, and Rep- vesentative Hurter of Ohio. It will make little difference, so far as the democracy is concerned, whether this ssuo is deferred until the next session ornot. The country fully understands that the great majovity of the party are in favor of free and unlimited silver coinage. coinage, Tue conforence of representatives of the people’s party: at St. Louis today promises results that will be interesting tomen of both the old parties. The new movement in politics will be largely represented and the indications are not avorable to complete harmony. There is a considerable element hostile to the proposition to put a nationul ticket in the field, and this will probably made itself heard in vigorous terms. The eneral impression is, however, that the conference will result in a call for a national convention to nominate a presi- dential ticket, and that the extreme ideas of the leaders in the new move ment will be endorsed. In case it is de- cided to cal! a national nominating con- vention there is favorable promise that Omaha will have the privilege of en- tertaining it. Tue aemocratic factions in Louisiana have agreed upon a plan for the scttie- ment of their differences, and the pro pect now is that the republicans will have to meet a united and rmonious democracy. The chief point of the agreement is that both tickets shall be submitted to the primaries, the winning one to be the regular ticket at the gon- oral election and the other to be with- drawn. This will oceasion a hot con test, but it will doubtless end in uniting the fuctions and keeping Louisiana u der democratic control, THad the fac- tions remained at war republican suc- IBRUARY cess would have been more than proba- ble, and it was this outlook, doubtless, that induced the two senators from Louisiana to go home and talk for hav- mony.
