DEATH OF SENATOR MORRILL,.

As had been anticipated, the serious
illness during the past few days of Sen
ator Morrill, of Vermont, resulted il
that gentleman's death at lbs o'clocs
this morning at bis residence, Thoma;
Circle, Washington. His death wa;
caused by pneumonia, superinduced By
grip. Mr.. Morrill, became sick last
Wednesday, after the adjournment O.
Congress for the holiday recess. He
had been in constant attendance during
the first days Of the session, seeing &c
his duties on the various committees Of
which he was member, and partici.
patipg in legislation in the Senate.
Justin Smith Morrill,, senior Senator
from Vermont, was in point of service
as we'll as in years, the oldest member
of the Senate. He entered that body in
| 1867, leaving seat 10 the House of
Representatives aud succeeding Luke
K. Poland, who had been appointed to
ill out the unexpired term OF Jacob Col
amer. Previous to that he had served
six successive terms in the House Of
representatives,, from the Thirty-fourtb
to the Thirty ninth Congresses inclusive
He had served 10 Congress under eleven
Presidents, commencing with Pierce.
His term of service would have not ex-
PRED until March 4, 1908, making his
public life cover period of foriy-two
years. He took his seat in the Thirty
fourth Congress in 1855.
Mr.. Morrill, was born in the town of
STAFFORD, VT, April II, 1910. His ear
ly education was derived from the com
mon schools and academy of the town,
and after leaving school he engaged, for
number of years, in mercantile pur-
suits. He began by keeping small
store and kept increasing his business
until it became extensive. Subse
queptly he turned his attention to agri-
culture, in which he kept up an inter
est throughout his busy life.
Soon after he entered Congress he be-
came one of the leading members Of the
House and be had been prominent
figure in national affairs since. He
early became chairman of the ways
and means committee and while acting
in that capacity framed his first famous
measure, the Morrill, tariff bill, which
was enacted into law in 1861. This
was the first war tariff measure, and be-
came the basis for subsequent revenue
legislation for the purpose OF defraying
the expenses of the civil war. Last
summer, after the denth of his wife, the
Senator grew respondent. He got the
idea that his constituents thought that
be had outlived his usefulr e.s, and be
began to NOPE and consider the ques-
ton of resigning. He even began to
suspect that his colleague wished him
out of the way and younger man in
his place. He felt alone in the world,
and made up his mind to retire to his
Vermont farm and there end his days
in seclusioD, but food of letters from
Vermont urging him to reconsider the
step caused him to withheld his resig-
nation.

AN OHIO newspaper that has taken
a vote of its subscribers as TO the great

Dewey and Sampson stand at the head
of the list. But the greatness of the

of the latter, upon the destruction OF
another one at Santiago, that was run
