The Berkshire Courier changed hands again last Thursday. The Courier com psny has sold out it's plant and good will to John E. Cleary of Des Moines, Iowa, an editor and newspaper proprie- tor of 20 or more years experience. Mir Cleary has already taken the editorial chair, and Editor Chas. A. King will return to his own newspaper at Bever- ly, Mass. Mir King has won many friends during his 15 months residence in Great Harrington and he has done excellent work on the Courier. We re- gret to part with Neighbor King, but we cannot expect him to neglect his own paper any longer in order to serve the Courier. We extend the right hand of fellowship te Editor Cleary and we welcome him to New England.

Mr.. NforriIl's Inst Speech

Senator Morrill, died In harness" His
last speech was delivered in the Senate
on the 18th of the present month. This
him. for the purchase of a site. on the
ground east of the Capitol. for a build
ing for the Supreme Court of the United
States. II is a pleasant thought that Mr..
Morrill, lived to see the completion OF the
new Congressional Library building-the
most beautiful edifce of its kind in the
world-the legislation for which he cur
ried through Congress against. at the
outset. much strong opposition. The buibi-
ing for the Supreme Court is intended 70
occupy ground on the east front OF ths
Senate. corresponding to that occupied BY
the library on the east front of the House
Of Representatives. The bill has passed
the House, both on it's merits, and in
honor to the memory Of Mr.. Morrill, In
his speech. Mr.. Morrill, said;
As the years go by there is a general
concurrence on the part of the American
people that the present site of the capital
of the republic, chosen by our foreflther rs
continent. was most happily selected Its
genial and healthy climate never fGrfeits
its high reputation. The plan OF Wash
ington grows in favor as the city grow ;
older and larger.
The chief blunder which can be lust v
charged against our predecessors is that
they have persistently unde restimdted
the dimensions required for nearly every
public building here erected. The rapid
growth of the country from l3 to IS States
land how many more now in the womb OF
time no one can telD, having a CORES
ponding enlargement of business ami rep
resentatiou in Congress, is the Astounding
evidence of this growth and shows why
both the House of Representatives and
Senate have so long suffered from il
shortage OF committee rooms. Eleven conn
mittees of the Senate occupy rooms at
the Maltby House. Sixty-siX members
render services thsre-that IS 10 say.
whenever the attendance there of n gtIur-
UNI can be secured.
Congress imperatively requires every
foot OF room ia the Capitol yet does not
now propose the removal OF the Supreme
Court but will first provide more comfort
able ard attractive Recommendations, ami
then invite the chief justice and ASSOC
ciates TO take possession. Ii may take
several years for it's completion. and the
SOONER it is begun the better.
The elevation upon which the Capitol
stands, while not high, adds immensely
to it's dignity. and with the library and
Supreme Court buildings situated not far
apart thereon. they will form a harmon
ious group of large public structures on
Capitol Hill of unequaled grandeur. ami
will he appreciated by the American peo-
pie forever.

different kinds of apparatus. as well as
the methods of work and investigation.
Different disease germs will be shown UNI
der the microscope, and visitors will have
an opportunity TO learn how the presence
of bacillus is discovered.
The advantage to the people to result,
from the establishing OF this laboratory

that food products are being sent from
