MR.. KAssoN's REMARKS.
FRIENDS We, the senators an! rcpresen-
tatives who are here, lave becl designated by
resolution to discharge u most gricvOus duty.
1t is not many years since You sent 10 the
congress Of the United States Dudley Chase
Haskell, IN the prime of his manhood He
became a member OF that body which most
tries its members. and shows the quality Of
their character. Hi conduct showed the wis
dom Of your choice, and You renewed once,
twice. th,cr this honor. You did not send
him to life Of ldeness and pie sure. but -
Que Oi the hardest struggles aud sryrrtst
test, outside of war, In winch man can cn-
gage In the place to which you scut hin no
man can succeed who d, es not devote his days
to labor aud his nights to toll. Men may not
do this, hut their nam will never be known.
Mr. Haskell could not rCm.in idle. To the
days Of labor and the nights of toll Mr.. Has
Ike devoted himself AMI he rose rapidly
The elimination of his energies wasrcached
last winter when he surprised all by his PER
pctual labor aud the amount Of work done by
HIM. But in this struggle he lost his life.
After yanly searching for health he went
back to Washington to the scene OF his mortal
struggles, and, like some mountain pine
which the storm has unkindly torn from its
roots he bowed his head to that great capital
and welded up his life lie g we to his country
a lie had to give. We bring back to you all
that remains, which, in the name OF our re-
spcctiye bodies, we commit to your care We
hope with you that this is not all that remains
of him, and that we can, in a brighter land,
me the fulflment OF the promise of his
natare,
rhe choir then sang ahymn, which was fol-
lowed by the reading Of the Scriptures by
Chancellor LippincOtt Rev. Mr.. Osmond de
ltvcred lengthy prayer, following which the
choir sang, ''In the Cross If Christ Glory"
Rev. Richard CJrdley, d. D., of Emporia,
the former pastor OF Plymouth Congregation
al church, then delivered the funeral address,
making touching tribute to the dead states
man. The address was substantially as fol-
lows:
THE FUNERAL SERMON.
To me this is personal sorrow, We were
always "boys together and grew up toceth-
er, and assoc ated In so many ways that it
seems as If a brother had gone. When fret
met Dudley c. Htekell he was boy a. his
fathers house. In these twentysx years he
pursued his studies in college, serIed his
country In the army, engaged In business, was
chosen to the legislature and became speaker
OF the house, was four times chosen to con
gress, aud became almost tn leader OF his
party In the house. His was a very rapid ad-
vance, but to those VINO knew him II was not
surprise. Many knew he possessed that
which would insure a large success in any
congeuial line.
Among the striking qualities which made
| him what he was, | would name stea1iness,
intensity and sympathy. These ar all ele-
ments OF strength, but are seldom united as
they were In HIN. Some men are steady, but
not intense enough TO be effective Some are
intense, but too variable and htful to be
strong. When Dudley Haskell undertook a
work he pursured it till it was finished. No
matter what II was 1t absorbed him for the
time. II 1t wa, baseball, his club must lie the
champion OF the valley; If IL was the tariff
bill, 1t walked with him by day and sat with
him by nights 1t went with him to his meals
and haunted his dreams until 1t was finished
and passed.
His religious life was like himself, continu-
| GUS and earnest. increasing ChIee ulu nub
divert him, growing popularity Id not make
him forget hiS duties. He could sympathize
aud corporate with special Interest, but he
never lost his fervor in other times.
said anothe- element Of his character was
sympathy-.a fine, delicate sense OF the rights
aud feelings OF others. Firm In his own con.
vlctions, he respected the convictions OF
others. Steadily pressing to his own goal
he never thrust others off their path. His
presence was always an inspiration and a
help. Inever went TO him Ia Sny doubt or
darkness but he gave me light; never went
to him with any kind of burden but went
away more free. ever went to him light
hearted and full Of hope but he caught the
mood and reflected It. He was never a man
10 90 about with blank, Is to smother mans
enthusiasm, or with cold water to cool a
mans ardor. Heoften gave word OF wis
dom to guide, hut never word t,discourag".
For this reaso on often found my way to the
rear of his store where he always had q coun-
Gil room for us among the boxes OF goo's.
