DEATH OF SENATOR MORRILL,
At His Washington Home Wednesday Morning

tions, and no man in public life was more
given than he to taking up a subject
and holding to it years and years, un-
Til consummated. He was the real father
of the scheme for the construction of a
buildi g for the congressional library, and
to him and Senator Voorhees,, who early
joined him in pressing this question upon
Congress, is the splendid library building
a monument. Very near his heart also
was the plan for the erection of a sister
building for the United States Supreme
court He had been pressing a measure
looking to the construction Of such build
ing for many years, and finally prevailed
upon the Senate to pass his bill for this
purpose. His last appearance in the SEN
ate was on the 10Th instant, when he made
a speech of half an hours duration in ad-
vocating the Supreme court building bill
He at the same time prevailed upon the
Senate to pass the bill in the face of some
opposition. To Senator Morrill, probably
more than any one else was the present
splendid endowment of most of the state
agricultural colleges due. He was the
author of the original bill giving aid to
these colleges from the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands, and he never re-
fused them the encouragement of his as
sistance. He opposed the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands to the last, and he
was understood to be averse to the exer-
else of any American sovereignty over the
Philippines.

DignIned and Conscientious Character.

DishAHeu anu conscientious Character
Washington despatch to Burlington Free Press
There have been more brilliant names
in American history whose owners dazzle
their contemporaries and have caused pos
terity to wonder at their accomplishments
men like jefferson who at 33 wrote the
Declaration of Independence, and like
Hamilton who at 80 held the treasury
portfolio in President Washington's cabi-
net, but there was no finer, no more repre-
sentative figure, no one who could be better
selected as a model for the youth of the
country than Senator Morrill,, and his dig
nitied and conscientious character should
be an inspiration for all time.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1898-12-30

Senator Morrill, was only 80 years old
when he retired from the business of a
country storekeeper with a competence.
His political career did not begin until he
was "A years old, the only public office
which he held previous to his election to
Congress being that of justice of the peace.

Best Remembered by the Morrill, Tariff.
From the Boston Journal1

Senator Morrill's life has reached the ex-
traordinary span of Gladstone's, and he
has long been the senior senator in dura-
tion of service as well as in years. He
was school boy when Waterloo was
fought, and he had attained middle life
before public career aroused his ambi-
tions. 1t is for his conspicuous connection
with the Morrill, taaiff of 1861, which
marked the abandonment of a disastrous
experiment with "tariff for revenue
only and the beginnings of the rise of
the great industrial North, that Mr.. Nor
rill will be best remembered.

Morrill, and Edmunds Gave Glory TO
Vermont.

Washington despatch to the Boston Transcript. !
Mr.. Morrill, was, in many respects, the
grandest man in the Senate. Absolutely
honest and conscientious, with high
sense OF official responsibility and an earn
est desire to serve the public welfare, he
leaves a record which few can approach
and none can excel. He is one of the last
OF the great men of the Senate. Edmunds
and Morrill, were two names on the Senate
roll that gave glory to the state of Yer
mont, and made her representation in that
body second TO none in the union.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to boast about business. We trust
you will not think it is boasting if we
tell OF steadily increasing sales-not
spasmodic gains, but steady increase
that tells of growing favor.
Our efforts in 1899 shall be as earn
est to make this store profitable to Won.
as well as to us, as in 1898. We thank
you most heartily for your appreciation
and patronage, and we wish you the
happiest of New Years.

Dreyfus, a Hebrew officer in the French

OF selling military secrets to the
Germans. Emile Zola, the novelist,
attemped TO stay the storm of persecu-
tion with his pen. For this offense he
is being subjected to species of
trial, partaking of drumheaded court
martial and lynch law. Witnesses on
the stand, assume the role of prosecu-
ting attorneys, and the weight of evil
dence is referred to the bowling mob in
the street outside. That Zola will be
convicted is foregone conclusion.
This may assuage the wrath of the
mob, but a wholesale persecution and
massacre of the Jews are among the
possibilities Of the near future. Where
such frenzy would end is too frishtful
to contemplate.
