The English "Society for the Proven
ton of Consumption" presided over by
the Prince of Wales, was recently ad
dressed by Sir William Broadbent, who
stated that it was definitely known that
every case of consumption began with a
germ communicated from some other
case. There is no such thing as inherit
ed consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consumption,
but the germ has absolutely to be plant
ed in that weak spot before consumption
can ensue. This ought to comfort
thousands of people who have "weak
chests" or "weak lungs" They are not
foreordained victims of the dread dis
ease. All that is needed to bid absolute
defiance to this deadly scourge, is to
be able to strengthen the weak lungs,
and build up a strong body. The answer
to this need is found in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t so puri-
fies the blood and increases the blood
supply. that disease is thrown off, and
the weak organs are nourished into per.
feet health which defies germs of every
kind. People, given up by doctors,
emaciated, bleeding at the lungs, with
obstinate, lingering coughs, are being
cured every day by the use of Golden
Medical Discovery" 1t is a strictly
temperance medicine containing no al
cohol, whisky or other intOXicant.

SENATOR MORRILL,.


For many years Mr.. Morrill, modestly
and steadily refused to furnish anything
more than the bare facts of his birth and
congressional service, to interviewers i'll
search OF matter for a personal history
of his life. About three years ago, how
ever, he was persuaded by Washing
ton newspaper man to give him the fol-
lowing sketch
Il started in business for myself" said
Senator Morrill,, with a capital OF $50
saved from my salary as clerk in the diff
terent mercantile establishments in which
| had worked in STAFFORD and in Port
land My opportunity came when IA mer-
chant OF STAFFORD died, leaving his ac-
counts rather mixed, ana the heirs were

After setting the estate l made the heirs
an offer for The business, and with Judge

conclusion that | had enough money and
that it was time for me to retire from

Senatorial Vacancies in Vermont.

The constitution of the United States
provides that when vacancies occur in
the Senate during the recess of the Leg
of may make temporary appointment I'M
til the next meeting of the Legislature,
which shall then fill the vacancy Ver-
mont has had twenty-seven senators since
her admission to the Union. OF these
Moses Robinson, Isaac Tichenor Israel
Smith,, Dudley Chase, James Fisk, Samuel
Prentiss and George f. Edmunds resign
ed. Samuel Upham, Jacob Collamer and
Justin s, Morrill, died while holding the
office Of senator. After the death of SEN
ator upham, in January, 1858, Gov. Fair
banks appointed Samuel s. Phelps as his
successor. Before Judge Phelps took his
seat in the Senate in the following De
cember. the Legislature had held it's an
nual session and adjourned without elect
ing senator. The question was there
upon raised whether Judge Phelps's ap-
pointment had not expired. After pro-
longed debate, the Senate decided that up
on tho adjournment Of the Vermont Leg
isature without having elected a senator
to fill out Senator Upham's unexpired
term, the governors appointment of Mr..
Phelps expired, and that the seat was
vacant. Lawrence Brainerd was thereup-
on appointed, with the understanding that
he would not be a candidate for the full
term following. To this Jacob Collamer
was elected In the fall Of 1854. He died
in office. in November 1866, on the night

Senator Hoar's Tribute to S enator
Morrill,.

Last September, when an unfounded ru-
NOR Was put afloat to the effect that Mr..
Morrill, was about to resign his seat in
the Senate, Senator lIoar wrote to him
as follows: You may be assured that
1t is the unanimous desire of the Senate
that you should continue your service so
long as your life is spared You may also
hc assured that it is the unanimous opin-
lon of the Senate. as [ believe 1t is OF the
country, that your mental powers are
unabated, and that any loss of phys
lcal strength that may have come with
advancing age is more than made up by
the authority and influence which your
long, stainless. and illustrious career has
brought with it. You were never Il great
er influence on the side of righteousness,
wise financial policies and everything
that makes for the material and moral well
fare of the country than You are to-day. 1
should regard your withdrawal from the
Senate as a large dimnution of the pow
er of New England and of the ideas for
which New England stands"

before the Legislature adjourned sine die.
But no notice of his death was received
at Montpelier before the final adjourn
ment. Under the circumstances, Gov.
Paul Dillingham;, after consulting the Su-
preme Court judges, decided that he had
the right to appoint a senator and he APP
pointed Luke =. Poland to the vacancy.
Mr.. Morrill, was not n candidate for the
appointment preferring to fill out his
term in the House. But it was under
stood that he would he a candidate be-
fore the Legislature at the next session.
The choice OF members Of the next Leg
islature, throughout the State turned
largely upon the senatorial question.
There was a spirited canvass, which re-
suited in tho choice of a Legislature fa-
vorable to Mr.. Morrill, and he received
the election.
Upon the death of Senator Solomon Foot
in 1866 Gov. Dillingham; appointed George
f. IIdmunds. Mr.. Edmunds's resignation
of his office at the close of his twenty
ffth year of distinguished service in the
Senate. and the appointment by Gov Car
roll S. Page of Redfeld Proctor to the
vacancy are fresh in The memory of our
readers.

The Succession to Mr.. Morrill's Seat.

The appointment of a United States sem
ator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death Of Senator Morrill, until the Legis-
iature elects senator. rests with Gov.
Smith. AS Congress Is in session and
every vote is of consequence on the re-
publican side, it is reasonable to expect
that he will make an appointment without
much delay. The men first thought of by
the mass of citizens of Vermont, for the
place. beyond doubt. are ex-Gov. William
P. Dillingham; and Congressman w. w.
Grout. The latter has been for a number
OF years an open candidate for the sue
cession to Senator Morrill,, and he has
friends enough in the State to give him
powerful backing. His legislative ex-
perence will count in his favor with
many, while the fact that he has already
been 80 amply honored by the people will
count against him with others Gov. Dill
bingham has never made any canvass in
his own behalf; but his high personal
character, eminent ability, and clean rec
ord point him out, in the minds of thous-
ands, as well fitted for the place, and
one who would be sure to fill it with cred
it to himself and honor to the State. He
is deservedly popular with the people and
we have quite distinct impression that
if a popular vote for United States sena-
tor were to be taken to-day he would be
the choice of majority of the voters.
Various other names have been from
time to time suggested as senatorial pos
sibi!ities from the east side Of the noun
tain line; among these being Hon C. A.
Prouty. now of the interstate commerce
commission; United States Judge H. H.
Wheeler, Judge j. w. Rowel w. e.
Johnson esq, of Woodstock: ex-Gov. s.
F.. Pingree, Hon. Henry c. Ide and per-
haps others. 1t Is, of course, possible that
the governor may step outside Of the lead
ing popular candidates and select a man
who will not be a candidate before the
Legislature when it comes to the cleo
ton, thus virtually referring the perman-
ent choice for tho place to the people at
large. IT, however, the governor thinks
that he knows who is the best man to
succeed Senator Morrill,, he should an
point him, without conditions, and with
out delay.

A States Tribute to Beloved Son

Sculptured marble and stately mauso-
leum will bear enduring testimony to the
distinguished career of Senator Morrill,,
but the GROWING glory of his life is to be
found in the extent to which he enShrined
himself in the hearts of the people. His
hold upon the popular affection had been
repeatedly demonstrated during his long
death to disclose the full measure OF YER
mont's love for her venerable statesman.
1t was a significant as we'll as a loving tri-
butte that our State Monday offered to
the memory of her beloved SON. All sec
tons of the commonwealth sent repre-
der the auspices of the State, and few of
those who participated will forget the i'm
pressive memorial. Rich catafalque and
beautiful floral offerings in profusion WED
of esteem; but most eloquent of all tok-
ems were the tears bedimming the eyes of
gray-haired men who had journeyed miles
to testify of their love for our depart ed
senator. 1t was lttins that this farewell
service should be held in our capitol in
the presence of delegations representing
the different departments Of our State
government and the people whom Senator
Morrill, loved, He has .Dequeathed the
commonwealth a priceless heritage, and
for decades to come his will be a living
and blessed memory to all Vermonters.

Uncle Sans Old and New Year.

1t is no exaggeration to pronounce the
year just closed as one of the most mo-
mentous in our national history. This
brief period includes the prelminares as
well as the actual beginning and close of
a successful war undertaken to secure
the freedom of neghboring people.
That gigantic task was undertaken I'M
selfishly and with little thought of the
effects thereof to be experienced by our
own nation. 1t is probable that compar-
ativey few of our leading statesmen
gazed with prophetic eye into the future
and saw any indication of the fear-reach-
ing consequences for America to result
from that struggle. It was generally sup
posed that Spanish sovereignty over Cuba
was the principal issue involved. Porto
Rico did not enter into the problem, and
much. less did any ono dream that we
would soon be seriously considering the
annexation of the Philippines on the other
side of the world.
The revolving months have brought all
this to pass and much more. We find
ourselves suddenly projected through our
naval achievements. into the internation-
al affairs of the most remote part of the
old world, and for a time at least we must
bear that responsibility, whether or not
we so desire. We are confronted by a
situation which threatens to result in a
complete reversal or radical modification
Of our present national issues. The pros
poet of control of the Philippines is made
more allurng by the visions OF rapid
commercial expansion and enlarged ma
tional sway which promise to follow such
control We have already taken our
place among tho chief naval powers Of
the world, and the rest Of the world as
well as our own people have obtained a
hint of our wonderful resources as a COM
mcrcial. financial and military coloss,x.

magic revolution, and the student of Am
erican history will search in vain for a
parallel. The great struggle which gave
our nation birth involved more vital is
sues for this people but its progress was
slow and often discouraging, covering a
long series of years. The civil war was
a grand sweeping conflict over the ques-
ton whether or not our glorious Union
should be preserved. More than a quar-
ter of a century of fierce contention over
the question of slavery rrefaced this gi-
gantic combat. Over four dark and weary
years were necessary to decide the is
sues of the rebellion, and the period of
reconstruction following its close is even
now approaching an end. Only a compar-
ison between the national events of any
one year in these periods with the devel-
opments of the United States during the
year just closed will serve to convey an
adequate idea of the rapidly with which
we made history in 1898.
But what of the new year for our be-
loved country. Is it to be merely har-
vest time for the old year. as 1t must be
rent into which our ship of state has
drifted hurry us on to face new obsta cles
and encounter new dangers? Bold indeed
would be the man who attempted to pre-
dict the career of this nation for the COM
ing twelve months. We shall expand COM
mercialy without doubt and the new year
should witness a marked revival of our
nrD1,a mt nj hn Gov n is
development will be rendered moro favor
able by the large addition to our navy,
now certain. which will afford the pro-
lection for our merchant ships which we
have lacked hitherto.
No one doubts that Cuba will eventually
find her way into the United States OF
that she will ask at an carly day for an
neXation Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands are already ours. Present indica
tions are that America will acquire per-
manent control of the Philippines, and
gain whatever advantage is to be derived
commercially from that dominion.
The overshadowing territorial issue OF
the new year promises to relate to the
form which our control of the Philippines
SIldll assume. Slldll IL NC ii mere pTOttt-

problems involving a great variety OF
other issues and their safe and satisfac.
tory solution would alone be a eranC
achievement for this nation during the
coming twelve months. But there are alsC
numerous internal problems demanding
the attention of our lawmakers, and tbs
new year is replete with possibilities il
that direction. We are living in a sor

country now as ever is the most unselfisf
