PREMIER BRISSON'S POLICY.

= OASES .
NJ. Brisson's declaration in the Cham.
Der of Deputies of the policy of the
Government did not receive a sufficiently
cordial response to indicate that Deputies
who desire the preservation of the
French Republic appreciate the import.
ance of rallying to its support. He
plainly intimated a purpose to abandon
the expensive and risky policy of foreign
conquest, and although he said a pro.
tectorate should be maintained in Anam,
he distinctly expressed the opinion that
there should be no attempt at annexa-
tion. His brief a~llusion to Madagascar,
with the promise to fully explain, in his
calculation of the credits, the change in
French affairs which should occur on
that island, shows that he wishes to test
public sentiment as to the abandonment
of the expedition for the ~subjugation of
the Malagasy nation, and it is to be hoped
that he will receive ar emphatic and
affirmative response. In saying that the
majority of the people are not in favor
of the separation of Church and State,
although they desire the enforcement Of
the laws relating to priests, he undoubt-
eddy made a careful statement of fact,
and in his assertion that the Government
would not hesitate to adopt fresh meas.
ures of taxation, should commercial de.
preston or military expenditures cause a
deficit in the Finance Department, he
exhibited a consciousness that he was
dealing with a very delicate subject, re.
t~rencbment in government expenditure
being recognized as one of the first re.
quisites to the ~permanence of the Repub-
lie.
M. Brisson probably felt that it was
necessary to be cautious, but in one part
of his address-his appeal to all political
factions to 'uphold the French Republic
he was a personifcation of boldness.
There is danger that factional strife may
afford the advocates of restoration an op.
portunity to place the Count Of Paris on
the throne, and to avert that calamity
M. C~lemenceau should persuade his
Radical followers to cooperate with M.
Brisson's supporters sufficiently to give
the Government a strong majority in the
Chamber Of Deputies. The present is no
time for quarreling among the Republi-
cans in France. They must unite their
and labor with unselfsh zeal for
the faithful administration of the Gov.
eminent, or the downfall of the Republic
may be the penalty for their folly.

DEATH OF VICE PRESIDENT
HENDRICKS.

At o few minutes before 5 o'clock last
evening Vice President Hendricks died
of paralysis of the brain, thus ending a
busy and most eventfnl career. Through
a long life Thomas A. Hendricks served
the public we'll and conscientiously. His
biography is that of one who, having
deserved we'll Of his country, was honored
with the highest positions of trust, and
who never failed to do his duty in what.
ever position he was placed. He was a
statesman rather than a politician, much
less a partisan. although he wa q strict
party man. He was born on a farm near
GAINESVILLE, Muskingum county, Ohio,
September 7, 1919, thus making his age
a fraction over 66 years. When a lad he
attended the village school in Shelby.
Vile until he was of age to enter the
college Of South Hanover, near Madison,
from which, after finishing his course, he
graduated with high honors. Suisse.
quently he studied law. In his 25th
year he married Miss Lucy Morgan, the
widow who now mourns her loss. Com.
mencing his political career as a member
of the Indiana State Legislature in 1850
he was shortly afterwards elected to Con.
gress twice. Then, in 1855, by Presi.
dent Pierce, he was appointed as Com.
missioner of the General Land Office, and
by the Legislature of Indiana in lS62.63
he was elected as United States Senator,
after Wilhelm lS72-he was elected as
Governor of that State. In 1876 he was
looked upon by Democrats everywhere
as one of the strongest and best men in
their party, and when the st. Louis con.
vention named MI. Tilden for the first
place on the Democratic ticket, it turned
with one accord to the reform Governor
of Indiana, and offered him the Vice
Presidency, which he accepted and was
no doubt elected to in the following No
vember election. His nomination for
and election to the same office last year
showed not only his eminent fitness for
the Office, but that it was an act of re-
tributiye justice. He has followed in
the course of all the great men that pre-.
ceded him and the loss is the nations.

4 SCRAP OF HISTORY

West Nrginian in the City.

Recalled by the Presence OF a Former
West Nirginian in the City.
Colonel d. S. Hounshell, prominent
attorney of Cincinnati, is at the McLure.
The Colonel will be remembered by many
of our citizens as having attempted the i'm
parchment Of Nat Harrison some twenty
years ago, in the heyday of radical rule
and proscrptionin the State and as having
been roughly handled for his patriotic and
praiseworthy endeavor.
Judge Nat Harrison was a sort o! satrap
or governor over what was then the Ninth
judicial CircGit, embracing the Ter lie re.
gion Of Green brier and Monroe counties and
their neigh5orbood and ts lord'd it
.tveral years in quite ptincely fashion. L..

ry and acumen, and under the forns Of law

of impeachment and came to Wheel

body then sat in the Linsly Institute build.
ing. The articles were presented By Col.
Ian d. johnson, one of the few Democratic
members then permitted to sit in the
Legislature and were Indignantly rejected.
Colonel Hounshell was in the lobby at the
time and was assaulted by some three or
four of the members and literally knocked
down the stairs and out of the house. Such
was the penalty then imposed for daring to
bring to Justice a corrupt and wicked
Judge, whose only merit was that he was
Republican and obeyed the behests of his
party and was a willing toolin i:J hands The
