WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senator John E.
Kenna Of West Virginia died at o'clock
this morning of heart disease from which
be has been for some years an acute sufferer
SO much so that for long intervals he had
been compelled to abandon his duties as
senator and to forego all mental exertion.
Two summers ago, with a view Of divert
ing his mind from his physical ailments, he
established an amateur boat builders shop
and busted himself in the mechanical opera
ton of constructing a boat. He partially
recovered and resumed bis seat in the
senate and made one memorable speech
which was remarkable, both for its length
and its vIgor, but soon suffered a relapse
from which be never rallied. His sufRerings
during the last few months Of his life, from
heert spasms, we're so poignant that to him
SELF as we'll as TO his family, death must
nave been loo ked upon as almost welcome.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-The public press
OF last week gave the following 90 com.
ing from Senator Teller, of Colorado:
"The Sherman law was wrong in prin.
ciple. Mr.. Voorhees, Is az much silver
man as ever. He was honest in his
efforts for repeal and win be SO in sup
port OF measure to restore silver to its
proper use" And the following aa
emanating from Senator Harris, Of Ten
nessee: II cannot say what Mr.. VOor.
hees will do, but l should not be sur
prised il he should introduce q free
coinage bill as reported. Such an cot
would not be inconsistent. have said
on the floor Of the senate that Voorhees,
is as strong believer in silver as am,
and am convinced Of it,"
I have felt, Mr.. Editor, all through the
controversy over the repeal Of the Sher-
man law that Populists and their organs
were doing great injustice to one dis
tinRuished champion Of silver and OF the
peoples interests whom circumstances
had temporarily thrown into wrong asso-
Citations; and that time and opportunity
would demonstrate the fact. slluda 10
Senator Voorhees,, OF Indiana, and /
therefore rejoice at the foregoing evi.
dences that l was right in my ooniect-
ures. His speech at the opening Of the
discussion on the repeal bill, barring his
expression Of confidence in Cleveland,
and that he would not be found adverse
to bimetalism, was as strong, emphatic
and patriotic document as ever came
from the lips of Senators Stewart, Allen
or other adversary Of plutocratic legisla-
tion. We don't have sufficient charity
for those who differ with Us on details or
on points Of expedienoy; nor make ade-
quste allowance for the altered circum-
stances Of men in responsible positions.
We are too apt to fly into 3 passion and
demand OF everyone that he 60 the whole
length with us and swallow the lole
carcass at once, instead Of giving him
time to arrange his political facts and
fences and adjust his political position,
so as to maintain his prestige with his
party and people. So Abraham Lincoln
acted, when urged by the abolitionists
in the early days Of the war Of the re-
bellion, to issue an emancipation procla-
nation and was denounced by extremists
for not doing it. "Nc," said he, "she
country is not prepared for it, public
sentiment 10 mot yet educated up TO it,
issued now, it would be go vain and in
effectual as the pope's bull against the
comet;" and therefore he insisted on post
poning the matter to a more favorable
season. So, Voorhees, had three con-
siderations to influence him in his action
on the repeal Of the Sherman act. The
