The speaker began at 4 o'clock with a spirited and witty address by H. A. Fuller, the chairman of the meeting. Mr. Fuller elicited great applause by his brilliant sallies at the expense of the Democracy, national and local, and ended by Introducing George S. Ferris, of Pittston, who delivered the chief oration of the day. The tenor of his remarks called for continuous Interest In politics and urged upon Republi cans the necessity of keeping their pow der dry. Mr. Ferris was followed by Fred AV. Fleltz, who was Introduced by Mr. Fuller as the one good thing which had been known to come out of Scranton. Mr. Fleltz commended the work of the league and eulogized the heroism of the warfare of wholesome government which l fought by the veterans whose weapons are ballots Instead of rifles.

Lloyd S. Wln tersteen, who is charged with having been Clifton C. Korr's accomplice in the attempt to blow up the residence of Levi Waller, here, last September, and in whoso recent trial the Jury disa greed, Is to be tried again. For this purpose a special session of court to follow the criminal session in Septem ber is to be called, at the request of District Attorney John N. Harman. The lmpe-idlng trial will be sur rounded by many difficulties. For the first trial, which began during the lat ter part of May and continued through the second week, of June, it was found a hard matter to secure a Judge. Judge Ikler, who is Wlntersteen's friend of many years standing, did not feel himself competent under the circum stances to sit, so the services of Judge Ermentrout were secured. The oomlng trial will occur at a time when most of the Judges throughout the state have business at home, so that It will be al most Impossible for a member In the Judiciary from another county to tako the bench. It Is thought, however, that Judge Ermentrout will consent to como If matters can be arranged for him in Berks county, Tlhe game attorneys who assisted in the prosecution of the original case, will look after Columbia county's In terests this time. They are George S. Graham, of Philadelphia; James Scar lett, of Danville; ex-Senator Grant Herring and District Attorney Har man, of Bloomsburg, and William II. Rawn, of Catawlssa. Mr. Wlnter steen's lawyers are A. L. S. Shields, of Philadelphia; Messrs. Jacob and Keis er, of Reading, and J. Fred Ikler, of this place. The latter is a son of Judgo Ikler. A REGIMENT OF CADETS.

GEORGE WASHINGTON VIEWED AS A MAN An Estimate ol lllm Which Is Not Colored for Effect. HE WAS DY NO MEANS A DEMIOOD The Mistake Which Ills Eulogists IlnvcMndoIs Not Frankly Accept ing tlio FactH ns History Presents Them--No no the Less Admirable for Doing Ilumnn. The recent Washington Monument dedication in Philadelphia, inspired "Penn" of the Evening Bulletin to write concerning the life and character of the great patriot. He says: There seems to be much less of a ten dency than there once was to view him as a demi-god. Cold, passionless, severe, exalted and unblemished, tils character as it long existed in the conceptions of his country was such as to place it be yond the range of sympathy or affec tion. There are some persons who be lieve that It Is well to keep up the ap pearance of this type of Berene perfec tion for its value as a model and In centive. I am not certain that they are right. The more Washington has been seen, as the more Lincoln has been, in his little fallings, and especially the more we understand how he was view ed and treated by his contemporaries, the more Is the lesson of his life likely to be of practical helplessness than It we Idealize him Into a figure of Parian marble In the star light. We can Judge morecorrectly and with more of the Justice of charity our own public men when we find that a man like Washington went through the same kind of experiences which cause us to denounce or criticise them and to cry out that the standard of public vir tue Is on the decline. Whatever Intri gue, chicanery and blackguardism may now be doing to despoil of their good names, the best class of men In public affairs, was suffered in some degree by Washington, both as a soldier and a civilian. The charges which were heaped upon him included arrogance, arbitrary conduct, marital Infidelity, cruelty to slaves, weakness and Incom petency as a general, political Ingrat itude, subserviency to the English, in capacity as a statesman and submls slveness to party managers The only usual form of public scandal from which he was entirely free from In the mouths of the enemies was personal corruption. The bitterest of them seem never to have thought seriously of fas tening that charge upon him not even General Charles Lee or Tom Paine In their fiercest abuse. HAD HIS FAILINGS. Washington was fond of cards, of horses, of fox hunting, of cock fights and of dancing. He enjoyed dancing when he was president, In Philadelphia, and was past sixty years of age. In his early life he wrote verses; he was a lover when he was but sixteen, and from his youth to his old age he was, extremely careful to dress like a well bred man, scrupulous In the care of his person and at one time having some thing of the reputation of a dandy. He drank freely of wine, but there Is no record that he was ever Intoxicated. He was. more than ordinarily fond of the society of women, and some of his cor respondence with them Is marked by high-flown gallantry. His effusion of grief when Betsy Fauntleroy would not have him is well known; he was ac cused of Intimacy with Mrs. Fairfax, and when he first took command of the Continental army, the Tories published a pamphlet concerning one Mary Gib bons, who lived somewhere near New York, and who was to deliver him Into the enemy's hands after one of his noc turnal visits to her house. A curious letter of the first Benjamin Harrison to Washington, as well as a British farce that was published about the same time, gave some currency to these scandals. The truth Is that his conduct in this particular, so far as any authentic evidence exists, and es pecially so far as wo can Judge It by the spirit of his letters referring to the sex, was that of a man who, with strong admiration united deep and manly respect. USE OF LIQUOR. When Washington was a young man he was a candidate for Burgess or member of the Virginia legislature, running on an anti-tavern platform, and was defeated by what we would now call the "liquor Interest." The next year he made the race again. This time he enlisted the good will of the county boss, spent his money freely for liquor for the voters and gave instruc tions that there should be no stint In the quantity of whisky, brandy and ale that the voters might desire. There exists somewhere a tabulated list of his election expenses, or rum bills, on that occasion. But this was not regard ed for the most part with disfavor. At that time the standard of politeness and liberality In a public man in the Old Dominion was gauged largely by his willingness to be generous and hos pitable with his liquor. The fine and true pattern of a Virginia gentleman then was the one who, If a man en tered his house, set out his whisky on the table and then took a long look out of the window. The celebrated "Conway Cabal," which gathered together all the 'discon tents and reckless ambitions of the army, was one of the most formidable attempts ever made to destroy a public man. The complaint against the commander-in-chief was that he was slow, dull and heavy, and that he was In competent for any military command, and It was re-enforced by the clamor and the plots of such men as Lee, Gates, Adams, Rush and Mlfllln. This kind of opposition followed him In a nagging way all through the Revolu tion. But perhaps the strongest temp tation which came to him and which tried his character more than anything else In the hours of darkness and ad versity was when Elizabeth Ferguson delivered to him the letter from Duche, who had been among the foiemost clergymen of his day In supporting the patriot cause, and who now piled him with all the arts of his eloquence and with a lofty religious sentiment to give up the struggle. In the whole course of Washington's life there Is to my mind nothing In it moro heroic than his re sistance to this temptation In the crucial hour of his patriotic career, and at a time when the country gen erally seemed almost certain to turn to Duche's way of thinking. Long after ward, when it seemed that his country men had come to understand him, he was destined to suffer two memorable storms of popular odium, and nowhere more furious than in the streets of Phil adelphla. His refusal to accede to the demands of Franco when Genet deliber ately brow-beated him in his Market street house caused such an outburst of partisan rancor that there was fear that Washington would be driven out of the city by the mob. Then cams the Jay treaty wlth-an outbreak even more violent and with denunciation hot upon him for allowing Jay to sell out his country to the English and for con ducting the administration on English methods. pro- GREATLY ABUSED. Neither Cleveland nor Grant In their two terms In the Whlto House has been the object of epithets moro vin dictive and heated than fell upon J Washington in his second term from the opposition press, ft is sometimes said that when he "swore like an angel" at Lee in the field Monmouth was the only time he was known to be profane. There was doubtless- more than one occasion in the Market street house when ofllce-Beekers were pestering him, and when the newspaper editors and the pamphleteers were dally Inventing a "charce" and when the French agi tators were stirring up sedition and riot on the streets that he could not restrain his naturally strong temper. We know, at least, how he turned on "that rascal Freneau" for his editorials, and how, after reading Edmund Ran dolph's pamphlet which Randolph af terward apologized for he exclaimed that Randolph "by the eternal God is the damnedest liar on the face of the earth" and nearly upset the table by his side when his clenched fist came down upon It. It Is only to bo won dered that he did not repeat these per formances often. Tom Paine, whom he had befriended, published a pamph let In which he accused him of being "treacherous In private friendship" and "a hypocrite in private life" of being either "an apostate or an Impostor" and "the patron of fraud," and all be cause Tom Paine couldn't get an office. Callender squirted his mcphltlc Juices over him as "double traitor," and even Jefferson was thought to be behind this Intolerably filthy scoundrel. Benjamin Franklin Bache day after day in the Aurora engaged in a systematic Jour nalistic crusade against Washington, belittling, ridiculing and berating him as a farcical patriot and an ostenta tious old humbug In disguise, demand ing personal Incense and Idolatry of those around him. Duane, with all his vehemence outdid Bache In this spe cies of attacks, and Freneau had pros tituted his talents to the same miser able defamation. Any man who read the Philadelphia newspapers from 1793 to the spring of 1707 would have been excused If he had come to the conclu sion that the first president of the United States was a pompous, but weak-minded tool of Hamilton's, or a treacherous tyrant bent on breaking down the Constitution and the laws and Incapable of standing up for his country against English diplomacy. HIS GREATNESS. The test of Washington's character Is that you may place the microscope to it and examine his life from one end to the other without lowering him. You may dlrcover that he was pock marked on the face and wore false teeth; that he was constrained to tell hlB mother that she nhould not come to the table unless dressed for It; that ho otvme to the conclusion that he could not live peascefully In a house with two women under the same roof; that that he was the richest public man of his day, being nearly a millionaire; or, nR we would now call him, a "pluto crat," when he died; that he sometimes pat silent and frigid at table, to the awe of every one In the household; that he would take his daily constitu tional down Market street to the wharf without uttering a word or recogniz ing any one; that when he was called upon to speak ho would sometimes tremble so that he would excite pity; that It was not until he became a mltl-dle-aged man that he could spell and write with anything like ease and cor rectnessthese and other things like them you will find, and they do not spoil his excellence. You may ransack his whole life and you will be unable to discover a traoe of serious dupli city or of a downright falsehood, the Rev. Mason L. Weems being unques tionably right In his deductions from the famous cherry tree legend; and with that sincerity went Justice, mag nanimity and a public probity that was absolutely pure and Inflexible.
