SENATOR MORTON DEAD.

Oliver P. Morton, United States
Senator from Indiana, died at his resi-
dence in Indianapolis last evening,
aged 81 years. We are informed that
= he was born in Wayne county, Indiana,
where he was admitted to the bar,
practised his profession, and was
elected District Judge. He acquired
his first political notoriety in the House
of Represe ntatives and as war Gov
ernor of Indiana Subsequently, he
was elected to the United States Senate,
where he at once took the front rank
as leader of the Republican party,
and, since the death of Sumner,
welded most powerful influence in
that body. He was an extreme and un-
compromising partisan, who sacrificed
everything on the altar of party sue.

Federal interference in the domestic

worse in this respect than the average
politician, he acted upon the principle
that the ends sought by his party justi-
fed any policy that might be adopted
to secure them. A week ago, while
Frustrated mentally, as for years he
had been physically, he was reported
as having experienced a change of
political sentiment, and endorsing the
policy of Hayes. He will be missed

Death of senator Morton.
indianapolis. Nov. l.
Senator Morton died at $50 this
afternoon. Previous dispatches have
told his sufferings and measures en-
ployed to alleviate them. About noon
Mrs. Morton and her sons, by her
request, were left alone with the Sena-
tor for about an hour. What passed
between them it is not proper to
inquire. Before 5 o'clock it became
evident that he had entered upon his
last hour on earth. He had rested the
greater portion of the day in a half
lying half sitting position. AS he grew
weaker the supporting pillows were
withdrawn SO that he lay supine upon
the bed. Deep silence now prevailed
the room and remained unbroken
except by an occasional question to the
dying man. Once when the Senator
exclaimed II am dying" his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Holloway. inquired: You
are not afraid to die, Oliver?" He in
dicated no by shaking his head. Soon
after similar exclamation, question
and answer, passed between him and
DR.. Thompson. At 5:l0 he exclaimed
II am dying, am worn out" and
these were his last words. The city
bells have been tolled 81 strokes, in.
dicating the dead Senator's age. They
will be tolled every day until after the
funeral. The family have decided up
on Monday at o clock for the day aud
hour OF the funeral.

"Voices of the Past"

From out the dim shadows of the
past, we hear the echo of voices
speaking to us of the thought and
power of ages now gone, as well as
breathing to us something of the fu-
ture, urging us on in the battle oflife
to noble deeds. Every hour we hear
them-every day they converse with
us. They have left their record in the
books-they are written through
them, "we live with the time of great
men and women" They speak 10 us
of the powers of human thought,
feasting the mind with the wealth of
their intellect, charming the ear with
varied and glowing language, filling
the soul with sublime aspiration.
Milton with his lofty Imagination in
spires our own. Luther tells us of
the good in the great reformation.
Charles Dickens, with his sympathet-
ic nature, speaks to our heart from
his walks among the lowly-of the
good there and of the sorrow hidden
in many lives. Tennyson appeals to
all acknowledging the truest part of
u work to light. With him we live
life over and live it better. Shakes
peare has opened the heart. Now we
hear some voice inspired with divine
eloquence leading US to commune,
with Truth and duty; others tell of
worlds, of the stars and their mis-
sions. From the depth of the ocean
we hear them telling US of the gran
deur of the deep-they speak Of dis
tant countries, of the underground of
wonders we never conceived of and
might never know but for the unceas-
ing toll of these monuments of the
past. Noble deeds have been done
that fill us with admiration, and in
spire US with the courage of devoted
men and women, who have given up
their lives for home and friends
brave soldiers who have died for
cause and country-martyrs who have
endured tortures rather than deny
their God.
Our fathers who toiled day and
night for freedom and homes-suffer-
ed and dared almost beyond compre-
hension. Jesus suffered and died
but his voice is still heard in all the
land. There, too, are the voices of
our own dear friends who have left
us-whose tones we heard day after
day-then Suddenly they grew still in
death. How wildly we recall words
then spoken we never thought of re-
Numbering, but now turn upon our
memory hallowed for the love we
bore to the last. All, all we hear
from their graves-passed away but
not forgotten. Dead, but speaking
still. These kingly Ministries will
speak forever, and until the pulse of
life shall cease to beat for us, we shall
ever hold them in reverence-it is
but a step into tho great beyond.
Then
"How vain are all the trials We meet here,
If we but feel a better words is near:
Then voices loved and lost orr weary spirits
cheer"

Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
of this county. Mr.. LARsH has been

He was a member of the Bar and pos
sessed a wide range of general in

sion to which he belonged. but upon
almost every subject OF general inter-
est. How he will be missed, only
those who have enjoyed the pleasure
of his well-stored mind for so many
years, a tell. He was about 80
years of age-has been a widower for
about two years. He leavesa son and
daughter and a large circle of friends
to mourn his loss.

styles himself, has been medd.ing him

in the paper as being employed in teach

his remark that he has been trying to
impress upon the public mind that we
are of that class of teachers who can
not command a decent salary. We ac-
knowledge that we are teaching at a
low figure, but if we discharge our duty
