Mr.. Bayard closed his long and hon
orable public career by his service as
Ambassador to England, tito which
he was the first to though the
name did not change the oilice--and to
which he gave fit distinction. No rep
resentative Of the United States at a
foreign court or among foreign peo-
pie ever commanded higher respect for
himself and for his nation, and Mr..
Bayard's four years residence among
the English was no unimPortant factor
in that friendly sympathy that has
been of such incalcuable value to us in
the Unexpected complications of tho
past year.
Such service to his country
worthily rounded out the public life Of
ono of the ablest and purest statesmen
of his generation, and while his death
will be universally lamented, it will
not be noted in the political activities
of the time, from which il was already
felt that he had withdrawn. He was
the last OF long line of distinguished
public men in his own family, three
| generations of which had furnished
four Senators of the United States, and
he was almost the last-7the most dis
tinguished, certainly, of fast mar
rowing group-of those Senators who
have brought down to our time the
dignified traditions Of the elder day.
Mi Bayard's influence, his long hold
upon public respect and confidence,
though possibly aided by local tradi-
tions at the first, was wholly due 10
the strength of personal character and
intellectual probity and force. A man
| OF positive convictions and we'll
grasped political principles, he had nc
| sympathy with the compromising in
trigues of the modern partisan, and
was as little capable Of catering to
popular prejudice or passion in public
affairs as of petty bargaining for his
personal advantage. Had he been Of
more yielding disposition he might,
perhaps, have reached still higher
station. But no did even better. For
he passed through his long career in
the Senate and in the Department oil
State with his honor upsullied, with
the respect alike of friend and foe, and
having served his country faithfully
and we'll, he has passed peacefully
away in the ripeness Of years, leaving
q name that will be held in grateful
memory by all true Americans.
Ia sketch of the life and public scr.
vices of Mr.. Bayard will be found on
pages and II.

Conspicuous and Honorable.


In the death of Hon. Thomas f.
Bayard the country loses statesman
who has played conspicuous and
honorable part in the domestic and
diplomatic affairs of the nation, and
the Democratic party loses leader
who brought great ability, force,
dignity and often high degree of in
dependence to its counsels. Mr..
Bayard's relation to his party was
such that had he been resident of q
politically doubtful" State he would
in all probability have become the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency. As it was he received largo
complimentary vote for the exalted
Office in several National Democratic
conventions. In 1880 he received
l531a votes on the first ballot, and in
1884, ITO votes on the first ballot, in
cidents which indicated strong popular
support and the high standing Of Mr..
Bayard among the leaders Of his party.
With the exception of two years
passed in Philadelphia the whole OF
MIR. Bayard's adult life was identified
with the State of Delaware, but very
early in his political and professional
career he gained a reputation which
was national. He maintained q re-
markable hold upon his Democratic
Delaware constituency, who kept him
in the Federal Senate from 1863 to
1881. The processes of Federal legis-
lation were soon completely and almost
intuitiyely mastered, and in short
time Mr.. Bayard became an aclnowl-
edged leader of the minority in the
body in its opposition to the famous
Republican measures that then fixed
the attention of the country. 1t is un.
necessary now to resurrect these old
issues and to recall the intense politi.
cal rancor which their discussion, in
and out of Congress, engendered.
Suffice it to say that Mr.. Bayard al
once became the doughty and powerful
champion of the opposition, presented
his views with courage and buttressec
his position with all the available re
sources OF debate. 1t is said that tn,
famous so-called Force bill" of 1877

MIR. pnyard's stainless Record.

Thomas f. Bayarl spent q good part
of long and useful life in the service
of his country. But it is rs the friend
Of tho South that he will be most
aifcctionately remembered by millions
of his fellow citizens. He was opposed
TO secession, and perhaps it was his
influence more than anything else that
kept Delaware, his native State, in
the Union. But he was utterly opposed
to making war upon the Southern
people and urged that, as they had
determined to exercise what he con-
sidered their constitutional right to
leave the Union, they should be per-
mittcd to go in peace without any
fratricidal, devastating war. His voice
was always for peace. As ambassador
to Great Britain, he did more than
had been done by any other man to
establish that feeling of kinship and
friendship between the two peoples
which, without doubt, saved the
United States from European inter
yention in the Spanish war. What
that feeling of friendship has been
worth to us it would be difficult to
measure or to estimate.
1t was in the Senate of the United
| States that Mr.. Bayard established his
great reputation. In period of reek-
| ing corruption in both houses of Con
gross and in almost every branch Of
| tho government, his character was not
| even assailed. His public life was
absolutely free from blame and his
honesty clear and spotless.
Mr.. Bayard entered the Senate as
the successor of his father in 1869, at
| tho age of Al years. He went as a
States rights Democrat, and was one
of small band of Democrats in that
body which contained the ablest and
some of the most INSCRIPTIONS men OF
| the dominant party. These latter,
flushed with victory, were arrogant
and unrelenting in their persecution
of the South and in their hatred of the
Southern people. To withstand them
in their designs TO humiliate the con.
cured States and to restrain them II
their absolute control required physi
cal aud moral courage. And Mr.
Bnyard never fiinched and was never
silent under the wrongloing of tn,
majority. Entering the Senate upor
the same day with MIR. Bayard, Marcel
4 Ath, 1868, there were Allen G. Thur
man Of Ohio, and William t, Hamil
ton of Maryland. These three mel
formed close friendship, and not onl,
commended for Justice and moderation
toward the South, but two of them q

Mr.. Hay is coming home from his
mission to England with much de-
served glory. He seems to have
achieved the friendship Of the English,
and to be regarded as promoter oil
an Anglo-American alliance. At least,
his admirers on the other side speak Of
him as having greatly advanced inter
national friendship. In view Of this
we are moved to suggest a kindly
recognition Of the admirable work

gushing characteristics of MIR. Bayard
were high ideals, great courage, di-

loss. He always stood for what was
right and honorable and for those prin-

love with a beautiful young native girl
and married her according to the Gus

reason to believe that nearly all of tho

pretty native girls. and thereby hangs Il

when they arrived in France, after
the publication of the book, their wives
asked them very awkward questions,
and they were kept in Il stew for many
months. Whenever anything unpleasant
happened, the girls of Tahiti would be-
come the subject of a very animated
conversation. AS a result they were
forced to tell their wives that Lofts

There is one thing that has not yet

For instance, when a bus topples
over in the street the newspapers boom
out with long winded headings about
1.-The falling over of a bus, collapse
of n bus or 1.-THE ovcrturning of a
bus" etc. But these are more or less
clumsy. Clearly it's the word ''ovcr-
turnsion" that is wanted. The over
turnsion of a bus' hits the situation
perfectly.
Then, again, if you want to say that
a hundred Gordon highlanders were an

considerably shorten your sentence by
the concise expression, ARAB killment
