Yesterday was the 10th anniversary
Of the birthday of Daniel Webster,
Americas great statesman and o. a,or.
He Was born January Is. 1852. at Sails
bury, now called Franklin, n. III. He
delivered his maiden speech in the
quaint old village Of Fryeburg, Me-.
July 4. 1902. HIS last speech was de-
iivered in the senate July IL. 1850. A
remarkable coincidence has just been
brought to light in the discovery that
the perorstion Of his first speech Was
identical with that of bis last. In both
ne used these patriotic and enduring
words: "This age has been correctly
denominated an age of experiments.
Innovation is the idol Of the times.
Human mind seems to have burst its
ancient limits, and to be travelling over
the face of the materiai and intellectual
creation IN search Of improvement.
The world hath become like q tickle
lover, in whom every new face inspires
new passion. In this rage for novelty
many things are made better. and many
things are made worse. Old errors are
discarded, and new errors are en-
braced. Governments feel the same
effects from this splrit - everything

whom ne piloted into Office has not

curb his resentment towards the gov
ernor and keep peace in the democratic
family. IL now appears that rupture
has occurred and the relations between

very proud OF the fact that no was
chairman of the democratic state CON-
mlttes when the present executive slid
iu:o Office on the Greet Of political
tidalwave. Naturally he wants all the
glory. But he doesn't get it, and there
IS where the shoe pinches. II is the
usual custom for tho governor to con-
suit the chairman of the state commit
tee when appointments are made, for
generally it is TO his sagacity that the
Official owes his election. WInans pre-
fers TO listen 70 his farmer friends In
such cases. and when Daniel discovered
that his wishes were ignored and those of
his hayseed compatriots granted he Was
chagrlned. This practice of the ex-
ecutive has eaten into the vitals OF
Daniels pride, and 70 longer able to
put up with the humiliation ne has de-
cided to turn the governor over to his
own destiny while he himself gets into
training for this years contest, mean
while refusing to take any further
active interest in the present admins
tration. He will neither renornce or
denounce the governor. but like an
astute politician he will quietly lay
wires to secure the nomination for
somebody else. Daniel is ambitious to
conduct JUS. one more campaign. He
thinks that his accidental success last
