TALES OF DANIEL WEBSTER.

Told by his Early Friend, the Late
 George w. Nesmith.
 Hanover (N. H. Letter in New York Times.l
 In the little town of Franklin, N. H., stands the house of George w. Nesmith, who had a personal acquaintance with Daniel Webster such as no one else now living can claim. A recent visitor to tho judge found him hale and hearty, though in his 9Oth year, and his mind seemed to be as clear and bright as in the prime of life.
 "The first time I saw Webster" he said. "was in 1918, just after the decision of the Dartmouth college case. was then senior in that institution, and can remember hay ing my attention drawn to two men talking together in front of the college church, and being told that one of them was Daniel Web ster, who was on a visit to Hanover after his great triumph. He was then in the prime of life, and was the idol of the town and college while he remained with us.
 "My personal acquaintance with him be- gan in 1893 or 1894, when one day he came with his brother Ezekiel to visit the farm where he had lived when boy. was in- troduced to him as he stood conversing in front of the tavern, and I remember that his talk was of the happy days he had spent there before going off to school and college.
 "Zekiel,' he said, 'how would you like to take third-story room with me in the tav- ern, as we used to do when boysa Do you remember how the rain used to batter on the roof, and early in the morning the roosters across the river woke us up with their orow~ ingg But Ezekiel thought he preferred high life before stairs. You don't understand the pleasures of living in garrett was the answer. Don't you remember that line in No. IF of the Rambler, "How sweet in sleep to pass careless hours," etoa'
 II remember that I was surprised at his exactnsss in fixing the place of the quota.

PULPIT FIREBRAND.

Archbishop Ireland has got himself dis liked in the South. He preached in Wash. ington to congregation of colored Roman Catholics. He urged his hearers to be order- ly and law abiding citizens, to be temperate and industrious, to own and love and beauti- fy their homes, to educate their children, and to steadily insist upon their rights. He said the existing prejudice against men be- cause of the color of their skins made him ashamed as a man, @ citizen and Christian. He added: Every prejudice entertained, every breach of justice and charity against a fellow citizen because of color, Is a stain flung on the banner of our liberty that floats over us. No hall, no parlor, is worthy of existence, where man is excluded or driven to a corner because of his color. No church is fit temple of God where man, because of his color, Is excluded or made to occupy corner. Religion teaches that we cannot be pleasing to God unless we look upon all mankind as the children of the Father in Heaven, and they who order and compel man, because he is colored, to be. take himself to a corner marked of for his race, practically contradict the principles of justice and equal rights established by the God of mercy who lives on the altar. This prejadice and exclusion in the church is a scandal and a shame. Let Christians act out their religion, and then there is no more race prejudice. The color line must go, and soon, too. The line will be drawn at personal merit. The shame and scandal of putting colored people in corners and lofts in Catho- lie churches must be wiped out. The doors of all Catholic institutions must be opened to colored Catholics.
 Of course this noble and Christian talk oannot be endured in the South, and the New Orleans Times-Democrat remarks: With uf in the South there has always been recog- nized, and will to the end of time be recog nizsd, line which divides the Caucasian from tho negro in social condition as i'm passible as the gulf which separated Father
 Abraham's abode in bliss from Dives hom, in Hades in the scriptural narrative. South
 ern Catholic and southern Protestant ani southern agnostic are alike agreed on that
 point, as are southern laymen and southern
 ecelesiastios. The color line in the matter of social intercourse is as inexorably draw,
 among the southern people as If it had beer
 fixed by fiat of the Almighty or laid dowl by law of nature.
 One southern newspaper calls the arch
 bishop Ca pulpit firebrand." It is the olt story.

CONSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme court of the United States has just rendered number of important opinions. One of them concerns the con- fishing the Mormon Ohurch and confscating its property. In behalf of the Church 1t was claimed that congress had no power to go to such an extreme. This view Is main- tained by Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field and Lamar in a dissenting opinion. They contend that the authority of congress over territorial affairs is not unlimited, but subject to constitutional limitations. It may suppress polygamy even when committed in the name of religion, but 1t has no power "to seize and confscate the property of corporations because they have been guilty of crime. The Court, however, holds that the power of congress over the territories is absolute. It denounoes polygamy as crime against civilization. The contention that it is part of the Mor- mon religious belief is sophistical plea. "No doubt the thugs of India imagined that their belief in assassination was a religious belief, but that did not make 1t so." The
 
 in claiming the right to use the funds with which 1t has been endowed for the purpose of promoting these unlawful practices, the question arises has the government the right to seize these funds which the Mormon leaders are misusing and devote them to worthy and charitable purposes as nearly akin as possible to those to which the funds were dedicated. Congress had before it a contuma- eious organization yielding by its resources an immense power in the territory of Utah ,and employing these resources in constantly at tempting to oppose, subvert and thwart the legislation of congress aud the will of the government of the United States. Under such circumstances we have no doubt of the right of congress to do as it did.
 Thus falls the last defence of polygamy in this country. It has taken long time to brIng.this result about, and all good men and women will be thankful that it has been nr,liahed

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes often says something when he talks. For instance, he remarks that callous on the palm oonfers no better claim to fair treatment than fur row in the forehead or an aching in the brain.
 The late Judge Drummond of Chicago was the first judge to rule that railroad employees had e first lien on the property for their wages, decision that has been indorsed by the United States Supreme court and has since found It's way into the statu te laws of many States, applying to all industries.
 Figure-head directors in joint stock con oerns have become a nuisance in England, and measure has been prepared for introduc. tion in parliament, providing that no person shall act as director of corporation until he has filed . certificate from two registered physicians that he Is of sound mind and complete understanding, another from two lawyers that he has practical knowledge of the law relating to public companies, and third from two qualified accountants that he understands corporation bookkeeping.

Commissioners il not altogether asoo
previous" The consultations and the
admission act mix up matters some
what. The constitution provides the
time for approving bonds, and for the
qualification Of officials and fxes the
time when their terms shall begin,
which would oust the old officers be-
fore their terms expire. Tbs act Of
Congress provided that The old Off
GERS should hold out their terms,
which end on the second Monday in

rally follow that the new officers
would not be required to file their
bonds and qualify until the second
Monday IN January. The intention
of Congress evidently was that the
newefficers should furnish their bonds,
qualify and take their seats at the
regular time in January. The new
officers have been sworn in. but dc

lar time.
