Morrison 3. Waite, the Chief Justice Of
the United States, has gained for himself
reputation OF which he can well be
proud. His services as counsel for the
United States before the Geneva tribunal
Of arbitration in 1s71-'72, gained for him
recognition as one OF the foremost law
yers of our time. In the negotiations
consequent upon the settlement Of the
Alabama claims, he was assisted by Caleb
Cushing and ". n. Evarts. Chief Justice
Waite was born st Lynn, Conn, No
vember 29, 1916. His father, Henry Wat.
son Waite, was also native OF this
rural town, and WAS born 10 1887. The
elder Waite was one Of the most promi-
nent barristers Of his day, and occupied
positions Of great trust and Importance
His son, the subject of this sketch, WAS
sent to Yale College, graduating there
besides himself, at least three others of
his class in college gained a world wide
reputation, namely, W. NJ. Evarts,
Edwsrds Pierrepont, and the late
Benjamin s illimsn. Mr.. Waite took up
:he study OF law With his father and was
admitted to the bar. He removed to
Maumee City, Ohio, entering into part
nership with Samuel M. Young. The
firm soon removed to Toledo, Ohio, as
Offering larger field for their labor. In
1849 Mr.. Waite was sent to the Ohio Leg
islature. In 1s7l-72 as already stated he
served on the Geneva commits
sion, and In 1873 was made
president of the OHIO constitutional
convention. In 1874 ne was appointed
by Grant as Chief Justice of the United
States and in this position distinguished
himself by the impartiality Of his de-
cisions. He refused to serve on the
electoral commission Of 1876. In politics
the Chief Justice was an ardent and con-
sistent Republican, but was entirely free
from narrow-minded partisanship. In
November, 1856, he had the privilege Of
retiring upon full salary Of sI0.5oO per
annum.

colored Man To The South

To The Editor of tie " y. Press.
have read in numerous publications
within the past ten days that the white
people of the South are greatly concerns
ed and alarmed over the triumphant vic>
tory OF the Republican party and the
possible effect which the administration
of President Harrison will have upon the
South. Especially are these people con>
cerned about the political outlook and
negro supremacy, so called
To men of sense and fairness this sort
OF rot is nauseating aud disgusting
The Holy Scriptures tell US that 1.-The
wicked flee when no man pursueth," and
there is not nearly so much danger to be
apprehended from the incoming admins
tration as the Southern people would
make us believe. and the efforts of Soutl-
ern journals and politicians TO create a
wrong impression in respect to the atti>
tude of the Republican party toward that
section are worthy of better cause
The Don Qulxotes of the South land can
serve their country better by accommo-
dating themselves to the situation than
they can by endeavoring to create race
prejndices and magnifying every street
fight into a riot for political effect
Prior to Cleveland's election to the
Presidency the country YVES very we'll
governed by the Republican party, as it
will be again for the next century.
If the white people of the South would
prosper and do well they will cease ar
tagonizing the negro, they will unite
with the general government in every well
directed effort to make the spelling book
the scepter of national power, and to ell
evate and educate my race in return for
its unrequited labor oil more than two
centuries They must cease making
armies Of foeks of sheep and converts
ing windmills into fortresses that do not
exist except in the minds of indolent and
worthless white men OF that section
The negro is in the South to grow with
its growth, and he will be there as long
as this Republic has place among the
nations of the EARTH His destiny is
linked to the chariot of American civil
izatioH Let the white men of the South
remember that those who failed to mas
sacre their wives and babies while theY
sought to rivet the chains OF slavery
more tightly around them, and to blot
out the glorious flag Of this great couu-
try, have now no desire or intention to
annihilate the white people of that Sec
ton. They have too much faith in the
promises OF God and confidence in the
ability of the Republican party to mete
out justice to every citizen in this land
to attempt anything Of the kind.

HOW YOUNG WOMAN TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF A SUFFERER.
From tie Pits6urg Despatch.
An unkind story, even if true, was tolt
me while was in England of young lady
who married suffering man.
The young man was undoubtedly a slut
terer of the most positive order, for I have
heard him go through paroxvsms to gee
out simple "Good morningI" The lady
whom he subsequently married was Of an
eminently practical turn of mind. Nc
maiden modesty or bashfulness cloyed hei
methods. She spoke to the point and
never left a thought unexpressed il she
deemed it pertinent.
After he had called upon her some thret
or four times she decided that it was about
time for her TO know his intentions. Sc
the next time he called, after they had
seated themselves as usual on the sofa, she
said quietly but firmly:
Mr.. Smith. ! am very much fattered
by the interest you have taken in me, and
the flowers you have just given me are
very pretty, butt feel that / should moi
be doing my duty if / delayed any Longer
asking you what your intentions are,

blush rose to his cheek He essayed tc
speak. For a moment lips and tongue
seemed paralyzed. Then he managed te

Shall We Annex Canada

Form tie Mem York Press.
There are many good reasons pro and
con.
Prove can have our picked up cod
fish every morning for breakfast without
embroiling ourselves with Great Britain.
Con-We don't all of us want picked
up Goldfish every morning for breakfast,
and it is hardly right to compel such of US
as particularly despise that dish to part
with our share of the surplus for the bene-
fit Of those who are addicted to the picked
up Goldfish habit
Pro-Our American bank cashiers
would have no convenient rendezvous to
run to with our money il Canada was
ours.
Conf all our American cashiers were
caught and put in Jail the taxes of the
community would have to be increased to
provide these individuals with their State
residences.
Pro-Niagara Falls would be exclusively
ours and we could utilize them to great
advantage by putting mills on both sides
of the river, whereas we are at present
confined to building mills on one side of
the river.
Cont would be impossible for our
bridal couples to say that they went abroad
on their wedding tours if both sides of the
Niargara River belonged to us.
Prove WOULD secure large number
of intelligent citizens by the annexation OF
Canada.
Con- We would also secure large
number of titled snobs. who would doubt
less insist upon the addition of a third
house to Congress for their express benefit.
And so il goes through the Whole list of
reasons for and against. The pros and
cons are about equally divided. We're
we Canadians we should earnestly desire
1t. AS citizens of The United States we
are Indifferent. but upon one point the
Press is quite firm; When the two coun-
tries become one Canada should pay an
initiation fee. There is no reason why we
should pay England for the privilege OF
comforting everlasting benefit upon one Of
her colonies.

Education.
IRON the Neu. York San. Dem.

From the Neze York San, Dem.
The educational campaign has taught
different lessons from those expected by
the educators, but they are lessons which
will be remembered and taken TO heart
by every man who aspires to political dis
tinction In the United States for the next
generation. Among the lessons in which
the American people passed their examin>
ations on the sixth day of November are
these:
The President of the United States has
to be politician
When party elects President it elects
with him Federal office>holders of its own
political faith.
The party that does not practice the
great Democratic maxim. which expressed
with plainess TO scare innocents, is
ITO the Victors Belong the Spoils," will
itself become the spoils of the opposite
party
Turn the Rascals Out dosent mean
Keep the Rascals in.
A President is not party despot. but a
trustee for the benefit of his party.
ALI Civil Service Reform is dead.
Even a President must have friends.
A big brain and the big head are not
synonymous,
Rainbows won't wash,
| So much for the nolitical Lesson of the
educational campaign.
We respectfully and urgently invite the
attention of Prof. Henry Watterson. of the
Kentucky College of Free Trade. and
Professor Quarles Mills. of the Corsicana
Golden Lyceum, TO this politico>economic
lesson. It is time to complete their edu-
cation, since they will doubtless continue
in the service of the Democratic party.

A Careless Word.

Once long ago, among the gods, Bladder fair anc
bright
And laughing babe them aim at him, because hi
life was charmed.
So though their spears and darts they hurled hin
with might,
He stood amid the heavy rain of weapons all I'm
harmed.
Then there arose poor. blind god, one who lovet
Balder well,
And with unseeming, feeble aim. his harmless
weapon sped
A piece of mistletoe. 1t struck and Bladder fell
And all Valhalla rang with grief, and mourned TO
Balder dead.
And SO sometimes the happiness that sings within
our heart.
Against all heavy, evil blows that fate strik'
seems charmed
Our gadness sings unhurt, laugh at each nev
dart
That dashes where our treasure is, and leaves it al
unframed.
Then one who never meant US i'll, speaks but litt
word,
careless, needless word perhaps very littl'
thing;
And happiness lies dead-dead like singint
bird,
That never more will spread its wing, that neve
more will sing.

The Warren Democrat thus comments
on the result the election of Congress-
man over in the Fourth District; y
The fact that ii was so difficult to as
certain the votes in the various counties.
and that it was not settled until the official
canvass was made, gives room for doubt
as to the fairness of the count. Until
the official count was telegraphed Friday
afternoon it was generally thought that
Voorhees, had plurality of about 100 votes.
At various times during the four days sues
ceeding the election the Fowler leaders cons
ceded Voorhees, election, and that the Of
fetal canpass should make it otherwise
was a matter Of great surprise to most
people So close is the vote that it will
doubtless be further investigated. II msy
be in the shape of a recount or it may res
suit in contest in the House of Repre-
sentatives. That Fowler should be hons
estly elected after Roe received over 5000
votes we do not believe. and the doubt is
so great that the matter should be probed
to The bottom The corrupt Pidcock
crowd would not hesitate moment to
count Fowler in. After bogus nomin>
alton, campaign of trickery and fraud,
an election in which the corrupt use of
money was unequaled in our history, it
would be fitting close to steal the ballots,
prevent the result and count their man in. >

that is equivalent in color to blush.
