A PROGRESSIVE RULER.
Cuestas of Uruguay Introduces Radical
Reforms.

with steady hand and firm in
tention to be a president in fact as
well as in name, Cuestas took the
| chair. He was tied by no entangling
alliances, and in making up his cabi-
net selected the best material from all
parties. Then he began to rule
Uruguay for Uruguay's benefit, and
with no other end in view For the
first time in a generation this little ma
ton, hemmed in between the Atlantic
and the Rio de la Plata, had an Exc
cutive who though first of his peoples

had come to Uruguay's $4,000 square
miles, most of them ending in bloody
dissension, and all of them leaving the
country financially embarrassed, with
nothing save it's wonderful prolific re-
sources on which to depend for re-
cuperation. But in spite of all these
drawbacks, Uruguay has not only lived
but prospered.
Reforms followed closely in Cues
tas' wake. He found the public offices
filed with salaried employees who u.d
little or no work. To the heads of de-
partments he said:
THE Office hours of your depart
ment will begin at $50 a. m and end
4 at p. nj. Your employees must be
kept busy. AS for yourselves, you
must set the example,
This was rather radical change
to easy-going politicians who had
limited their service to the govern
ment to an average of one hour per
day. Then he cut the republics list
of salaried clerks and employees
sQuarely in half, and by his stern reg
ulations of Office routine accomplished
with the remaining force double the
former work. The republics books
carried long list of officials who
limited their labors to the signing of
salary vouchers. These sinecures
were abolished. The president him.

THE army needed renoyating, es-

unfortunately until that time had been
handled on much the same methods as
that of Spain, Then, too, there were
various subsidies which drained the

appropriation to the annual season of

this subsidy meant host of free seats

A Tribute.

A Tribute.
Not long ago A. Oakley Hall penned
vivid picture Of this man "a at in
other days, poor, blind and neglected
in his later years. He said:
when I was a member of a class
at Harvard law school, with young
Rutherford b. Hayes and young
George Hoadley as student comrades,
there were traditions of former
classman of five years earlier who
won the admiration of Profs. Joseph
Story and Simon Greenleaf (mighty
priests in the temple of jurispru-

the aptness of his replies to lecture
questions and the vigor of his youth

The name Of that classman was
William Maxwell Evarts. So that,
when l myself arrived at the New
York bar was prepared to hear that
young lawyer from the east of that
name on the rolls was beginning to
startle with his nisi prius ability and
| legal aspirations such veterans of
| the courts as George Wood, William
Kent, George Sullivan, John Anthem
and Thomas j, Oakley. A few years
later, when Evarts was assistant
federal district attorney and / very
youthful (and perhaps presuming) as
sistant county district attorney, our
pursuits brought me to his acquain-
lance and the delight of his friend
ship. Admiration soon quickened in
to love for him. and that as years
progressed deepeneo until now it is
in the degree of veneraIIon.
when young William Maxwell
Evarts carried away IS degree of
bachelor of laws from the Harvard
law school to revolve upon the worlds

upon its hub; and so quitting the
paternal residence at Boston, he
sought entrance within the spokes at
New York. In order to acquire the
technique of its legal procedures
Evarts entered the office Of Daniel
Lord, then at the head of the speciality
of commercial law. From this he
graduated as an attorney in 1871.
During the previous year as a law
student he began his pontical career
by making speeches at ward meet

''Thurlow Weed-the great republi-
can boss and famous political editor
who accompanied Evarts or mis- mis-
sion, has left or record in his pub
lished autobiography the potent infiu-
ence which Evarts exerted toward his
ambassadorial purpose with the royal
British pair. They had been grateful
for the recent Inequalities shown in
the United States at the north to the
young prince of Wales and they knew
what an active social part In his re-
ception Mr., Eyarts had exercised.
Moreover, the royal couple had emo.
tional instincts against the system of
human slavery which was behind the
confederacy who desired acknowl-
edgment of their belligerency; while
Premier Palmerston was known to be
almost destitute of emotion or instinc-
tive generosity and to be as cold and
selfish in policy as Richelieu. Had
the bellegerency of the confederacy
been acknowledged as expressly as it
was implicitly granted in the building
or the Alabama, the ultimate result of
the rebellion might have been differ

His Great Offices.
Evarts was born in 1918. In crises
that have threatened this country
when war raged-Evarts demon
strated his patriotism, his intellectual
power. his diplomacy, his profound
knowledge of international law. AS
the defender of Andrew Johnson and
Henry Ward Beecher, the champion
OF Seward and Hayes, and the success
ful advocate of the United States in
the Geneva convention, Mr.. Evarts
proved himself one of the foremost
lawyers of his generation and an
orator of great power. He was attor-
ney-general (1S6S-9), was appointed
secretary of state in 1877 and elected
senator of the United States in 1885.
His was the famous eulogy on Chief
Justice Chase and he gave the cen
tennial address in PHILADELPHIA.
Buried alive in his home on Second
avenue, New York city, almost blind.
bowed by years, was Evarts in his last
years. He graduated at Yale in 1887,
but went to Harvard for his law. He
died poor.
Mr.. Evarts leaves a widow and eight
children. There are four daughters
and the same number of sons. The
latter are Allan Sherman, the Rev. d.
Prescott and Maxwell Evarts, and the
daughters are Miss Mary Evarts, Mrs.
Beaman, Mrs. Tweed and Mrs. Scud-

Dawson.
William Dawson was born in County
Cavan, Ireland, Oct. l, 1926, being the
youngest of a family of thirteen chill
dren. After completing a course in pri-
waite schools he came to America, a civil
engineer in 1886 and, settled in the vii
lage Of Peterboros Ont. Opportunity Of
fered him no employment in his chosen
profession, and after working in gen.
eral store for a time, he taught school.
Three years later he came to the United
States and journeyed as far South as
Mississippi travelling by canal from Erie
to Beaver, Pa, and thence to Pittsburg,
and then down the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. Again hei'& engaged in pedagogy
in several of the Southern states.
Subsequently, with ailittle capital. earn
ed while agent of a. railroad company
Mr.. Dawson opened a general merchan-
disc store at Laurel HILL La. In this
business he engaged from 1858 until 1861,
with gratifying results, but the muir
murings of civil war drove him to the
North and he located in st. Paul, and
until 1896 was actively engaged in bank
ing.
He started into business with the firm
of Holland, Berry, Dawson & Clayton,
and soon after married Mary e. Hol-
land, daughter of his senior partner.
Later he became member of the firms
of Dawson & Stevens and Dawson. Smith
& Reed. In 1870 the firm became Daw-
son, Smith & Scheffer, the other mem
hcrs being r. A. Smith and Albert 'Schef-
fer. This firm was incorporated as the
Bank of Minnesota, with Mr.. Dawson
president, until 1896, when the bank was
ruined by the crash that visited financial
circles at that time. He then retired
from business. and since had mingled
very little in business or public affairs
Not only had the deceased been very
prominently connected with local bust
ness affairs. With the political history
of the city he had been closely identified.
He served in the city council from 1866
until 1868 and from 1875 to 1878. From
1873 to 1881 he OBLIGATED as mayor of the
city, and it is recorded that he gave the
city a notably sound business admins
