The QUAY Case.

The decision of the question under de-
bate in the Senate about the seating Of
Quay depends upon the construction which
that body shall give TO the constitution.
Senator Quay's term of six years expired,
and the Pennsylvania legislature, then in
session, tried to elect his successor, he be-
ing one of the candidates. AS will be re-
availingly for many weeks, and the legis-
lature adjourned in deadlock. There
being vacancy in the Office, the governor
appointed Mr.. Quay TO fill it until the next
session of the legislature.
The constitution provides that if a
vacancy happens by resignation or other
wise, during recess of the legislature Of
any state, the governor may make tenn
porary appointment until the next meet
ing of the legislature, which shall then fill
the vacancy. 1t is claimed on one side
that a vacancy that the governor can fill
under this provision must be accidental as
when a senator dies or resigns, thus con-
STRUNG the constitution with the utmost
literalness. The other side would give it
broader meaning and construe it to read
''if vacancy happens to exist" or, ''if a
vacancy occurs" during a recess, etc.
The constitution provides that the Sen
ate shall be composed of two senators
from each state, and it is therefore the
right of each state to be represented by
two senators in that body 1t is the right
of the political party in power in given
state to be fully represented in the Senate,
for it is often the case that the two parties
in that body sre OF about equal numbers.
1t is national right that the Senate be
composed of its constitutional number.
The nation, the states, political parties,
are entitled to full Senate and the con-
stitution, by fair construction, requires it.

Gov. Page for Congress.

bQt feN men nave a ftcoru Tor sue eSe wrought
out by uure Vermont brain and Drawn equal to
that Of Carroll Smalley Page Of Hyde Park. HIS
record is pre- emnently one OF successes. In the
legislative and executive departments OF Yer
mont he has left his marx HIS record as gou-
erHOr came nearer the peoples idea OF model
chief erscutiue than any other iu the long list o {
honored names that have flied that office. In
that memorable eubernatorial campaign OF 1890
when Mr.. PAGE smashed the ring, the people
clung to him and he still has their confidence and
respect. As a iuancier he is a prophet with
honor in his own country. From 1854 to 1883 as
state inspector of finance he fought incess autly
and with that energy so characteristic of the
man, the practice Of s. ndug the bulk OF the de
posits in Vermont savings banks out OF the state
for investment. What he accomplished is know
TO everyone. AS an organizer, executor and
"pusher" his record as secretary and chairman
OF the state Republican committee from 1878 to
1890 speaks for itself. His home industry record
leaves no question 10 his business ability. He
has accomplished much in this respect more per-
haps than any other man in the state. AS a
representative Of the best interest of the people
of this congressional district this paper believes
that ex Gov Page possesses more qualifications
for the Office Of congressman than any candidate
yet named for that office. Hence We shall use
our best efforts to the end that Mr. Page be sent
to Con gress- .Swanton Courier
This latest emanation from the Hyde
Park literary bureau is good one of its
kind, and what it says about ex-Gov. Page
is entirely true in a general way. But
Carroll Smalley Page must have been
asleep when he let that sentence which we
have put in italics go in. Ex-Gov.
Page is bright man, of unusual alertness
and executive ability. He has convictions,
and he isn't afraid to tell them or defend
them. He showed these qualities as gov.
ernOr, and as the case stands we hope he
will get the election TO Congress in the
First district this year. But if he is SC
far gone on himself as to suppose that the
people of Vermont will accept as true OF
as in good taste the comparison suggested
in those four italic lines it is a pretty bat
case. There have been some good men in
the governors chair in Vermont from the
days of Thomas ChittendeD down.
Cultivate the grace of modesty, Gov
ernor, and first thing you do send the fool
killer after that Swanton Courier man.
P. S. And don't on any account let thu
idea get around that his gush was sin
| spired."

tn. south African Situation.

There has been rapid progress in the
march of events in South Africa the past
week, but the story may be told in few
words Major General French, the bril-
liant cavalry leader, whose flying column
first reached Ladysmith, gained a second
point of great advantage to the British
cause on Tuesday night when he occupied
Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange
Free State. This is little town of 1000
inhabitants, but its strategic importance is
great. The Beers retreated northward,
leaving large amount of railway rolling
stock in the hands of the British. Those
of the enemy to the south are in a serious
predicament, as Brabant's horsemen have

arrived at Aliwal North on the Orange
river, and a general northward movement
of the British forces in the centre is immi-
nent General Roberts is preparing for
his invasion of the Trsnsvaal.
President Kruger Of the South African
republic and President Steyn of the Or
ange Free State have united in a proposal
to Great Britain for peace terms on a basis
OF the "incontestable independence" of
the two republics. To this the Marquis of
Salisbury replied, in substance, that the
two states have forfeited their right to in
dependence, and that the only peace basis
is that of unconditional surrender.
Through United States Consul Hay at
Praetoria Presidents Kruger and Steyn
also asked the governments of Europe and
that of the United States for their friendly
offices in securing peace. The European
governments appear to have taken no no
tice Of the request Our own government,
however, caused the nature of this request
to be laid before the Queens government
on Tuesday evening with the assurance
that anything our state department could
do in the interests of peace would be glad
ly undertaken. Lord Salisbury declined
the United States good offices in terms as
cordial and polite as those in which the
offer was cOuched

War Notes.

A London despatch Of yesterday says:
"In the House of Commons today Mr..
Balfour, first lord of the treasury, said that
the President of the United States had Of
fered the Intervention Of that government
with view TO the establishment of peace
in South Africa. Lord Salisbury replied,
said Mr. Balfour, that the British did not
intend to accept the intervention of any
Power in the present trouble in South Al
rica.' Mr.. Balfour's words caused the
widest enthusiasm in the House, and
cheer upon cheer was given for Salisbury,
the Queen and the army"
Lord Roberts has fully occupied Bloem-
fontein, and the British flag is flying from
the top of the capitol.
Advices from Pretoria state that Presi-
dent Kruger, after receiving Lord Sails
bury's cablegram declining his peace over
lures, declared that the Beers will continue
the war, and that both republics will fight
TO the bitter end.

Death Of Dp. Walker.

1t is hardly possible that there is often
more welcome release from prison than
that which came to Rev DR.. George Leon
Walker with his death on Wednesday
morning. With the heartfelt grief of his
Brattleboro friends there is mingled rejoic-
ing that at last, after long and courageous
endurance, victory and freedom are his.
The sketch of DR.. Walkers life printed
by the Hartford Courant has the endorse
ment of his family IN its statements Of
fact, and il is therefore reprinted by The
Phoenix without change. That the article
is modest and conservative in its estimate
of his strength of manhood, his ability as
a preacher, and bis high standing in the
counsels of New England Congregational
ism, all Of his longtime Brattleboro friends
will bear witness
The records of the Centre church show
that the period of the pastorate in Brattle-
boro of DR.. Walkers father, the Rev.
Charles Walker, extended from 1884 to
1916. Although often heard at other
times in the pulpit Of his fathers old
church, DR.. Walkers time of regular
preaching in the Centre church was com
prised between the departure Of Mr.. Mighill
in September, 1875, and the coming of Mr..
Martin in 1877. Immediately following
this DR.. Walker acted for a short time as
pulpit supply of the Brick church (Presby.
teriaD) in New York city, but keeping his
residence in Brattleboro meantime.
The last public service performed by Dr.
Walker in Brattleboro was the preparation
and delivery of the historical address al
the field day Of the Pocumtuck Valley
Memorial association held on the site oi
Fort Dummer Aug, Is, 1896. This was
only nine days before the seizure which
held him fast bound the rest Of his life.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-03-16

bodied in a series of lectures on "Aspects
of the Religious Life of New England"
which he gave before the Theological sem
mary in the winter of 1896. These were
published in 1897 in a volume that has
met with decided acceptance.
On Aug. %, 1885, at his summer home
in BrattleborO, DR.. Walker was stricken
with apoplexy, resulting in a complete de-
privation of speech aud an almost total pa
ralysis of his right side These disabilities
continued to the end His mental clear
ness was not impaired He continued to
enjoy meeting his friends, and the reading
of books. In his wheeled chair he has been
familiar figure on our streets. A great
blow came to him In the death of his de-
voted wife on Oct. 30, 1898; but he bore
his trials and limitations with singular
courage and patience, till he was set free
from his long imprisonment by the angel
of death. In all the vicissitudes of his lot
he showed himself the strong, brave, Chris
tian man.
DR.. Walker was man of a good deal
of natural shyness and reserve of manner.
Forced to husband his time and strength
by reason of illness, especially in early life,
he had less inclination than many toward
the pleasures Of social intercourse. But
to any in anxiety, sorrow or personal suf-
fering his sympathies went out in a full
measure that made his ministrations al
ways welcomed and rendered him beloved
by those to whom he thus showed himself.
In bis family he was a man of warm af-
fection. In all benevolent causes he was
interested and generous. His tastes were
strongly attracted in several artistic di-
rections. He had much acquaintance with
engravngs, and was in very modest de-
gree a collector lof prints. He knew
much of colonial furniture, and loved to
finish or repair an antique piece with his
own hands. He was interested in colonial
| literature, especially that which bore on
the history of Congregationalism, and col
| lected an excellent working library on the
| theme. He wrote readily and well, and
published, beside the three volumes al
ready indicated, large number of ser
mons, papers and articles.
DR.. Walker was undoubtedly at his best
in the pulpit. With few of the char acter-
istic graces of the orator, he had the rare
faculty of being able always TO make men
listen to what be had to say. His message
invariably bore the stamp of earnestness,
directness and conviction. Its form was
fresh and striking, its development clear
and convincing And through the sermon
there ran a vein of feeling, sometimes of
pathos, sometimes of entreaty, always Of
positive faith, which touched the heart of
the hearer no less than the matter of the
discourse appealed to the intellect.
DR.. Walker is survived by a son, Pro-
fessor Williston Walker of the Theologi-
cal seminary; by brother, Henry F.
Walker, NJ. D., physician of prominence
in New York city, and by a sister, Mrs.
Anne w. Boardman, the wife of Professor
George N. Boardman, long the occupant OF
the chair of Systematic Theology in Chica-
60 Theological seminary

Another crusade against protected law
lessness and vice is on in New York city,
and this time it is asserted that the move
ment is not one Of the sporadic reforms
with which the city is familiar, but that it
is to be deeper, broader and more perma-
nent than any of lis predecessors. The
city officials were spurred to action by one
of the leading New York newspapers, and
as a result pool rooms, disreputable resorts
and gaming houses of every description
are being closed every day. DR.. Parkhurst,
who has figured in former crusades against
vice in New York, is conspicuous in the
present movement. Owners Of the build
ings as well as the Objectionable tenants
will be brought under the ban, and the i'll.
QUESTION will be thorough and systematic.

Hartman of California was nominated for
vice president. Mr.. Debs had previously
refused to accept the nomination, but finally

Debs has been applying his earnings to the
extinction of debt against the American

to cease until the debt was paid. Debs re-
ceived assurances that the debt would be

The Burlington News undoubtedly hits
the nail squarely when it says that the
action of the Mortified voters in voting to
have the names of purchasers Of liquor at
the Mortified agency published in the local
paper will amount to nothing. The peo-
pie who buy liquor for legitimate pur-
poses have nothing to be ashamed of;
they do not care. Those who buy liquor for
illegitimate use are calloused; they do not
care. The public is apathetic; it does not
care. Therefore the scheme will amount
to nothing except to give revenue to the
local newspaper. The same plan was
tried in st. Johnsbury some time ago. but
it 'fell through" simply because nobody
cared.
