Editor of Wdtchman;-This community
was profoundly stirred by the news re-
ceived Wednesday morning Of the death of
Senator Morrill,. The long and useful life
of this eminent man is row a1ectionately re-
membered by all. Extending as it did over
so long period OF our national life, he may
be said, by the greatness of his services,
his purity of character and his eminence as
q statesman, to have become part VI that
life. His demise has 30 long been fore
Swallowed as to leave no acute sorrow, but
rather feeling of sad satisfaction that a
life 80 long, so pure and 80 good was not in
his last hours clouded by pain and suffering.
The question of the appointment of his
successor is just now much discussed. All
manner Of wild conjectures as to the action
of the Governor are rife and candidates are
many. General Grout is being pushed by
his friends. Others favor Hon. II. G. Ide,
while Governor Dillingham's name is en-
Enthusiastically mentioned by others. OF the
| above it is expected all will be in the race
| to the finish, and the contest may be carried
| into the Legislature two years from now
OF these IL seems that the choice lies be-
tween Grout and Dillingham; with chances
| in favor OF the latter. Some think the Gov.
ernor may support DR.. Webb until the Leg
islature meets, but that would arouse 8
storm of indignation, as the feeling is strong
| that the appointment must como from this
| district. ses

HerOism, Past and Present.

No period of time has monopoly Of
heroism, and heroic deeds are not the
sole legacy of any single conflict of
peoples or nations in the arena of war.
The heroism, gallantry, patriotic self
sacrifice, exhibited in the late war with
Spain are only fresher in the mind,
and the element OF personal heroism
only more conspicuous, by reason of
the nearness, in point Of time, of mar
tial achievement, individual or collec-
tive. John Paul Jones, as a naval
hero, is the peer of any that have sue
ceeded him !. Decatur's daring exploit in
the harbor of Tripoii, in 1904, when he
burned the captured frigate, Philadel-
phia, right under the guns of the Bar
barry pirates, was the peer of Hobson
in 1893, and any one of the host OF
young naval officers, between these
times, who have distinguished them.

Whom Shall the Governor Appoint {?

That very important duty devolves
upon Gov. Smith in the appointment
of successor to the late Senator Nor
rill is trite statement of generally
recognized truth.
The circumstances recall the incl
dents of similar appointment, gen.
Grafton ago; and the view Governor
of Vermont took of his duty and the
way he performed that duty, at that
time, is replete and eloquent with sug-
gestiou to his successor of the present
times.
Solomon Foot, an eminent Senator
of the United States, died in the spring
of 1866. Paul Dillingham; was then
Governor. The times were perilOus.
Congress was in session and the politi-
cal crisis precipitated upon the country
by the accession to the presidency, af-
ter the assassination of President Lin
coin, of the headstrong Vice President,
Andy johnson, was throwing its threat
ening shadow on the future of a coun-
try barely emerged from stupendous
civil war. A vacant senatorial chair,
and that vacancy in the representation
from Vermont, famous in tradition and
history for its devotion to the cause of
freedom, in the forum as we'll as on the
battlefield, was the source of grave ap-
prehenson throughout the free North.
Gov. Dillingham; felt the full weight of
his responsibility in the matter of fill
ing the vacant .senatorship. The office
was the object of the honorable ambi-
ton of many aspirants. The Governor
received many urgent appeals from all
parts of the country for early and de-
cisive action in the matter of the ap-
pointment. The general sentiment
among the younger class of men, rivals
or the friends of rivals for the office,
was in favor of the appointment of
some elderly man, from the large class
of those who had been prominent in
State affairs in his day, and TO whom
the temporary filling of the senatorial
vacancy would bring grateful round
ing out of an honorable career.
But Governor Dillingham; had other
ideas of the needs of the times and the
requirements of official duty. He had
offered the appointment to ex-Gov. j.
Gregory Smith, father of the present
Governor of Vermont, but by reason of
his arduous business affairs he was not
prepared TO submit to the imperative
conditions the resolute Chief Magis-
trate attached to the acceptance of a
commission as Senator-to go at once
to Washington and devote his whole
time to the best service OF the Nation.
At the funeral of Senator Foot at
Rutland Gov. Dillingham; determine
ton crystalized. A senatorial commits
sion was in his pocket. After the
close of the dead Senator's obsequies,
he took the train to Burlington. He dis
Matched a messenger for George F. Ed
mupds. The Governor explained to
Mr.. Ednunds thst he desired to send
him to Washington Oh very important

WONDERFUL STRENGTH.

A leading teacher Of cycling, in Chi
cago, used a Gentleman's and Lady's
Sterling bicycle the entire season of
1898, with a total cost Of less than
$2.5O for each machine for repairs. Dur
ing this time he gave 700 lessons on
the Gents Sterling and 1862 on the
Lady's Sterling. The hardest usage a
wheel ever receives is When it is being
used by beginners. Knocked and
banged around in this way, these
dainty, well-made, high grade, blue
blooded, thoroughbr and graceful
Sterlings have yet stood the hardest
test a wheel could be put to. This is
but one example out Of many showing
the immense strength and wonderful
wearing qualities of this beautiful
built-like-a-watch machine. Part OF
the large shipment for the Pacific
Cycle & Mfg. Co. will arrive this week
on the Alice Cooke. You had better
save time by placing your order before
they are all gone. "Dost thou love
time? Then do not squander time, fol
that is the stuff life is made Of. The
selling price will only be $4,000.

Pressing Business Caused Delay
of Hawaiian Legislation.
The Outlook.

I Among the passengers by the China
WAS Mr. w R Castle who has been
away for some time. He combined
pleasure with business while away and
had a very enjoyable trip. He spent a
great deal of time in Washington and
is we'll informed of the existing con-
ditions of Hawaiian legislation
Mr. Castle said 10 a reporter of the
Advertiser that he has kept in touch
with the men in Washington, who were
friendly to Hawaii. Regarding l~gisla-
ton for these Islands they were not
disposed to push it, because Hawaii
coud wait without detriment to her
Interests. There were so many matters
to secure attention TO legislation for
the Islands.
The friends of the Islands were con-
fident that the question of HAWAII
relation to the United States was def
nftely settled and would under no cir
cumstances be disturbed.
Tt was evident, Mr.. Castle said. that
the opponents of annexation would
make efforts next year to place Ha-
wall in the relation of a colony only,
but the leading Republicans did not
believe that any such project would
be serious entertained by Congress.
The discussion of the proposition
might delay the needed legislation fol
while, possibly for several years
but the legislation would be finally
passed. 1t was generally believed that
i the act Of annexation was in the ma
ture of a contract with the Islands
which could not, and would not be
lchanged.

WATERMELONs AND CANTALoUPES.
The supply OF watermelons aud csnra-
loupes in this city has OF late been
rather in excess Of the demand, and
prices have consequently been low.
Many Of both species, however, have
not been satisfactory to housekeepers,
aud cantsloupes, especially, in many
instances, have been disappointing
when opened Many persons have
wondered how to distinguish a lipe
watermelon and sweet cantaloupe.
Ia the selection OF the former it is sid
YOU notice that the green rind has q
sort of dusty cast over it you can con-
clude that the melon is rice. Also if
you Gud that the white part of the
melon, the under sd on which it has
been lying, has yellowish tinge it is
almost sure to be properly ripened.
There Is nothing in humping melons
TO Judge OF the ripeness. AS to canta
oupes, the rough kinds are generally
the best, although there are some ex.
cep'lons. If the cantaloupe has been
allowed to remain on the vine until it

That the stem has pulled out clean. II
part OF the stem remains on, or if there

has been pulled too green to ripen
properly. You can tell as to the proba.
