able. be pressed the merits of the bill
until it was embodied in the laws of the
state. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that his wisdom, honesty and foresight
have been abundantly justified by the
resultant consequences of this most
benefcient law.
Mr.. Wilson was twice elected mayor
of the city of MinneapOlis-both times
on his personal merits and popularity,
and not through the strength of his
party. Indeed, for several years dur
ing which he was in active political life
he was the one Democrat who was sure
Of being chosen to any Office he might
desire in the community that knew him
best, and among his neighbors, who
knew and appreciated his merits as
man and citizen.
His industry was unbounded, his I'M
selfishness proverbial, his hospitality
spontaneous, his home life Arcadian.
While he had all the elements neces-
sary to shine socially, in his profession.
on the stump or platform, he was al
ways seen at his best within the sacred
precincts of his beautiful home. Here,
surrounded by most charming family.
the sunlight of family loye-reciprocal
affection of the deepest and most abid-
ing type-gave warmth and color to
his countless inherent domestic graces.
Here, as elsewhere, no harsh or thought
less word escaped him. Here his nat
ural courtesy, that only Powered In his
public life, fruited and gave life, health
and spiritual strength to all upon whom
it fell.
Let me close as l commenced. The
absence of no man of my acquaintance
would be so widely and universally felt
as will the absence of Eugene M. Will
son. Other good men who cross over
the border line that divides the life tenn
poral from the life eternal, are missed =
sadly missed, sometimes-by class or
circle. Mr.. Wilson was one of those
rare men, the touch of whose superb
bundant love gilded everything it shown
upon. At the bar and in his Office,
at the bank and in the
park board, at the church and in the
home. will his absence be felt. The alb
sence of his bright smile and cordial
good morning" will leave a cloud upon
the sunlit street. In every spot where
his public spirit and wide sympathies
were accustomed to call him men will
glance over their shoulders and wonder
why they hear his voice no more-Why
the strength. always powerful, but ever
gentle, is absent. FRANK j. MEAD.

TRIBUTE TO the DEAD
A Pleasing Pen Picture OF the
Late Hon. Eugene M.
Wilson.
The Attributes of Mind and
Heart That Ranked Him
as Great.
How He Honored Partisan
Politics by His Upright
Attitude.
His Political and Official Ca
reer--HiS Sweet Domestic
Life.

Among all the thousands of good citi-
Zens and honorable men who have left
the markings of their handiwork upon
the history of Minnesota, there is prob
ably not one, who, dying, would leave
a wider space vacant than that left by
Eugene M. Wilson, the announcement
of whose passage across the silent river
was made the past week. The bar and
individual members of the legal pro-
fession have spoken of him profession
ally-have recalled to us his high talent
as lawyer. his professional courtesy,
his capacity as trial lawyer, his con-
siderate kindness to the younger and In
experienced members of his profession,
his honorable dealing towards those
who met him before the judicial trl-
bunals. Judges upon the bench have
spoken of his honesty and the conf
dence universally rep0sed in him by the
Judiciary. Reporters for the daily press
have dwelt upon the incidents of his
political career, and business men have
discussed the profits of his business
and the amount of his fortune.
But under the high-sounding music
of all this public applause, the clashing
of cymbals and the roll of the mutf1ed
drum, there sounds the sweeter har-
mony played upon the heart strings of
those who have known him through all
his many-sided fortune since the day he
came-an ambitious boy, fresh from
school-and cast his lot with the young
commonwealth he was thenceforWard to
call his home. Mr.. Wilson was only
twenty-three years of age when he came
to the new territory of Minnesota and
took up his residence. One year after
ward, when he was but twenty-four,
President James Buchanan commits
stoned him to the high and responsible
position of United States district attor-
ney, an Office which he filled with per-
feet credit and rectitude for four years.
Old settlers of the state, letting their
memory run backward to the latter
years of the fifties, will recall the brill
liant galaxy of young Democrats who
were preparing TO succeed the political
war horses of those balcyon territorial
