KEEP AN eye on Tom Stewart,

No BETTER choice for the senatorial
seat advocated by Senator Stockbridge's
sudden death could be made by the
governor of Michigan than Julius G.
Burrows. His fame as pyotectionist
statesman is international. He would
bring into the senate reputation al
ready made and a facility in all the
various forms of political warfare won
during years of active and militant
leadership in the lower house.

INDIANA HAS long had the reputation
OF turning out the toughest crop Of
Democratic senatorial timber to be
found in any Of the western legislative
swamps and bogs; and the exhibition
made by Senator Turpie Monday fully
sustains this unenviabs claim. Had
such torrent Of inebriated billiugsga te
poured from the lips of Turpie's col
league 1t would have been attributed
at once to that class Of personal exhibit

designated as the work OF man

considerable difficulty In clearing him

Let us quote from the Wilkes Barre
Times: THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE had
occasion the other day to pay high
compliment to the attractive quality OF
Judge Woodward's extemporaneous
addresses, and cited his recent talk at
the Elks' reception to their Scranton
brethren, here the other night, as
graceful evidences Of the judges ac-
complishments in this respect. Ger
tainly those who have had the pleasure
OF listening to Judge Woodward on oc.
casions in the past, have stored away
the pleassntest memories Of his happy
stories and genial speeches. His man.
ner, to an outsider. would appear on
the start, to be a little hesitating. and
fears might arise that he would not be
equal to the demand. But this impress
sion lasts but a brief time, for when
his native wit and humor begin to
flow. oil doubt of holding his own
vanishes like mist before the sun. and
his influence over the crowd is para
mount. The TRIBUNE pays the judge
deserved compliment when 1t says
that he is a king among after dinner
talkers."

papers taken from the remains may nave

The secretary of the union. John Gronow,
