The Late Senator Georue.

The late Senator George, of Mississippi who died at his home in that state yes- ferday. was intellectually lone of the eblest men that have been sent, to the senate from the south for gerat many years. Senator George was in every re spect a student. He was a lawyer of fine talents. His position in the senate was more that of constitutional Iawysu than that of an exponent of the princi- pies of his party.
 Senator George was strong in deb"te; not an orator, but fine reasoner His leisure time was spent in his library with his books. He was not only an able lawyer, but a scholarly gentleman.
 He was positive in the extreme. He contributed no little to the debates of the senate.

Secretary Sherman.

The reports about Secretary Sherm1ns condition may be exaggerated, but thsre is evidently some truth in them-enough to lnjure the state department in the eyes of foreign powers. MT. Sherman is not the man for the place. He is too old, and his life has been devoted to the study of one side of the financial question.
 In the state department a strong man Of experience and broad views is needed. The country must look to this depart ment for whatever improvement may be made in the foreign tnade, and it is of the highest importance to have a man at it's head who will be respected and liked by fhe representatiy of foreign nations. Without mentioning the ordinary treaties which occupy the attention of the secre- Aary it is enough to say that the ques- tion of extending tnade into the Spanish American countries and in China and Japan will require the best efforts of the best man that can be put in the state deparment.

SECRETARY SHERMAN.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Washington, Aug. 11.-It is an exceed ingly delicate proceeding, and one which must be always approached with sadness and regret, to comment upon the mental decay of one who has been one of the bright intellects of the nation, but it is due in the interests of the credit of the administration that a plain word should be spoken in regard to the condition of Hon. John Sherman, secretary of state. MT. Sherman has probably not given ut- terance to anything that can result in especial damage, and it Is possible hds infirmity is so well recognized that noth- ing he could say would be made reason for serious international discussion. It is nome the less discreditable, how ever, that one who is really irresponsible should be retained in the high office of secretary of state on account of services in the past. It is probable when the vol-
 ume of the labors of Mr. Sherman is summed up he will have been found to have done harm as we'll as good, and that his judgment has been of the worst char acter in many of the most important po- litical and legislative movements of his time No one can dispute that he has
 been always the servant of speculative interests, and that his pretended antag- onism to trusts would not bear the test of close analysis.
 This however, is aside from the present question. That Sherman's snind has reached condition in which it is una ble to determine what is proper and what is improper, what is wise and what is un- | wase is perfectly apparent ito all who have read his recen- Waporings and con tradictiors. His memory Is so treacher- ous, moreover, that he Is prone to deny tolnorrow what he most positively said today His remarks to the Associated Press correspondent of this city in en- nec.don with the assassination of the Spanish pfemier are a catse strongly &n
 point. There Is not a siha dow Of doubt
 that he told that writer exactly all that
 was reported, and much more. The day following this conversation, after he had been begged by friends 10 avoid ini er- views, and being assured that what had been reported was likely Ito involve the administration iE unpleasant discus ion, MT. Sherman was moved to say that he had not given utteTance to the seni imen.s attributed to him, and that he certainly had not referred Ito Spains treasury hs being bankrupt. It is ealari able to sup
 pose that MT. Sherman had totally for gotten his language, and persuaded him self 'thalt he had been grossly misreprs- scented, but 1t can be ea,3ily shown that whar was reported was nois half wFar was gsiad, and that there was no restfic- tion put on amy porton of the conversa- nion being mads publ c.
