the state committee to cali him off the

clared that the state platform. by indorsing
the national democratic platform did not
eliminate the silver question from the cam

Senator Morgan .

Washington Letter.
Take. for instance. the case OF Senator
Morgan. OF Alabama, whose capacity for
Intellectual speech making : apparently
without limit and whose vocabulary is 50
large. Senator Morgan can speak for days
without betraying the least syn Of ia
tigue or falterinG for an instant In choice
of words or employment Of vigorous Ian
guage. People marvel at his wonderful
powers and wide knowledge Of public af-
fairs. both foreign and domestic, since
there Is no issue on which he sees proper
TO speak that he does not exhibit thorough
knowledge of the intricacies or details of
the subject. And yet he delivers his
speeches in most uupretentiOus fashion.
apparently not caring a copper whether his
colleagues or the audience in the galleries
are attracted or repealed by his utterances.
To properly appreciate the great force and
wide Information of the Alabama states
man. his speeches should be read as pub
lished in the Congressional Record, and.
generally speaking, they Will be found
worthy of comparison and ranking with
the best discourse n the English language.
British or American
In the debate on the bill to repeal the
Sherman silver purchase law Senator Nor
gan incidentally remarked that when the
clock at the white house struck the
cuckoos came out of their nests and pro-
claimed the time of day." and proceeded
with his speech wholly oblivious OF and
Indifferent TO the keen satire which under
laid his alusiOn to certain senator's known
to be on the ground floor at the white
house, and voicing specially the policies
of the administration. He had no idea
whatever that his chance shot would be
taken up and made to supply new, inn
perishable and significant cognomen in
the dictionary of politician appellation
seized upon on all SIDES. especially by the
press. which fitted squdrcy INTO the NOR
tise of the public thought. All sorts of
claims We're preferred as to the originality
of the cuckoo" .dei, and yet they Were
gross heterogeneous upon Senator Nor

IN ME MORA NJ.

An impressive service was held at the
Y. NJ. c. A. building, Burlington, last
Sunday afternoon, which had in view
the life work OF the late George S. Fisk
Secretary John Gibson gave a brief
sketch Of the life OF the deceased, which
was fitting tribute to his high Chris
tian character. Mr. Gibson SAID in part:
IT is emncntly fitting that we should
gather together here for a few moments
to think of one whose lie was lived
among us, a man like ourselves, vet
nothing distorted about him. His was a
hie made from the mold in which God
makes men. In the death of George Fisk
the community loses a man of great
worth. From his earliest DAYS tenden-
cies toward physical weakness were
manifested, too often to be unobserved
by solicitous parents, Accordingly the
family removed to the south, where
Georges health and spirits were recov-
erred, Mr.. Fisk never sought for a pro-
fession; he was born into one. He be-
gan to learn its details when only II
years OF age. His was the spirit OF the
man working in the boy. His small
press and type were the beginnings of his
career in journalism. Here and else
where he has given splendid evidence OF
his high sense OF responsibility for and
obligation to every trust imposed upon
him. His articles were his representa-.
tiyes in the community. When the end
came he knew it, and was prepared for
it. The business career OF this Young
man alone is worthy of commentator
and emulation. He was great in his con.
ception Of things not in ACHE vement
power, or fame. He worked constantly
and unremittingly to make the real equa
the ideal. To him life was very sweet
and pleasant. Mr.. Fisk was a living
example Of fidelity and duty. Almost
his last words were: IT'S all right
whatever comes" In the contentment

A MIRACrLOrs hSCAPE.

As Landlord Chase OF the St. Johns
bury House was driving Saturday after
noon with his family, including Mrs. II,
]. Chase Of Hopknton, n. j., and bis
neice, Miss Flora Chase OF New Haven,
they proceeded to drive up Green street
to admire the beautiful view from BoNn.
ton Hill. When near the top of the hill,
the horse suddenly stopped and then fell
headlong down the steep embanlment.
There is sheer drop here of about 10
feet, then a steep descent to the foot OF
Hastings hill, with only a fence and a
few trees between, As the horse fell he
struck on his side, then suddenly came
on his feet. Mr.. Chase was violently
thrown over the dasher striking on his
head and shoulders, rolling over and
over some 80 feet down the bank. The
horse was caught by Mr.. Chase and
rened against tree and stopped. Mr..
Chase suffered dsocated thumb and a
bad shakngupand the carriage was near
ly wrecked. Fortunately for the rest, none
Of the ladies were thrown out. The
cause of the accident was a small collar
which choked the horse so as to stop his
breathing, Had there been railing at
this place the accident might have been
averted.
