and immigrated to Nebraska.
He served in the first legislature of
the state of Nebraska after it's admfs-
mison and was the candidate OF the
democratic party four successive times
for governor OF the state. He was al
so twice the democratic candidate for
congress. In 1858 President Buchanan
appointed Mr. Morton secretary of the
territory, and the governor dying dur
ing the term, he became governor.
Mr.. Morton's wife died in 1881. She

troit. He had three sons, Mark, Paul
and Joy, all of whom live in Chicago.
Since his retirement as secretary of
agriculture in 1897 Mr.. Morton had re-
NAMED in private life, but had been a

tional politics. He was staunch
member of the gold wing of the demo
cratic party and refused to follow the
lead of William Jennings Bryan and
the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms. After returning to his Nebras-
ka home from Washington he estab-
lished a weekly paper called The Con-
sentative, in which he discussed the
politics of the day and current events.
This paper had a wide circulation, and
with it Mr.. Morton supported McKin-
ley for president in both mis- cam
paigns. While in Cleveiand's cabinet

Evolution, was greeted with ap-
plause. Secretary Shaw traced The
development of the country from
scattered colonies, each independent
of the other, not infrequently antag-
onsitic, to it's present commanding po-
sition as a unified sisterhood of states.
He referred to the difficulty in
China, mentioning the fact that a de-
tachment of the United States army
and a limited fleet from the United
States navy had been sent to the re
lief not only of our legation but the
legations of Christendom in the siege
of Pekin and that, too without act of
congress. There was no precedent
for such course but there has been
no word of objection offered from any
source. There is now pending in the
United States court, he said, suit be-
gun by representative of the execu-
tive department of this country to en-
join great corporation, organized
under the laws, from owning, holding
and voting capital stock and con-
trolling the policy Of certain trans
