His Career in Washington.

Julius Sterling Morton was in Washing
ton for four years as secretary of agricul-
ture in President Cleveland's second adj
ministration. He was man of steadfast
doubted ability. By nature a controver-
sialist, Mr.. Morton came to the cabinet with
many fixed ideas about the government
service. He was a practical farmer, and
ran his department along practical lines,
but nevertheless not without many squab-
bles. He regarded the distribution of seeds
as paternalistic, and on that subject found
himself in opposition to congress.
The ex-secretary was the author of Ar
Dor day, April q, which began to be OBJ
served generally during his incumbency as
head Of the department of agriculture, and
is now generally observed in all the states.
His constant motto was to plant trees
having it stamped in large letters under a
picture of a tree on his stationery. He was
an inveterate letter writer. He found keen
enjoyment in answering the conmunica-
lions from farmers, and It was no unusual
occurrence for him to call newspaper men
into his Office to read the answers he was
writing to farmers, often giving out por-
lions of them for publication.
The ex-secretary was exactly 70 years old,
Sunday having been the anniversary of
his birthday. He was of Scotch-English
descent. He was born in Jefferson county,
NJ z, but his parents moved to Michigan
when he was very young. He was a gradu-
ate of Union college, New FORK. Mr.. Nor
ton was connected editorially, for time,
with the Detroit Free Press and the Chi
cago Times, and then located at Belleville,
Neb., in November, 1854, where in April
following he issued the first number of
the Nebraska City News. He was elected
to the territorial legislature the same year
and reelected in 1857. He was appointed
secretary Of the territory in 1858. 20 fill

Morton was in a hospital for some
time. When he was able to do so, he
returned to his home in this city,
where he suffered relapse. After a

restore his health. During his stay

Lincoln, Neb., April 29.-News Of
the death of Hon. j. Sterling Morton
at Lake Forest came as a shock to his
friends in Lincoln. Since the death
of his youngest son, Carl, year ago

friends say the grief he then expert

greatest pride in his state and par

his retirement from President Cleve-

Nebraska City. On his return from
Washington he founded and edited

An Unfamiliar Text.

Several years ago there labored in
one OF the western villages of Mime
soto preacher who was always in the
habit of selecting his texts from the old
testament, and particularly some por-
ton of the history of Noah No matter
what the occasion was. be would al
ways find some parallel incident from
the history of this great character that
would readily serve as a text or Illus
tfatiou.
At one time he. was called upon to
unite the daughter Of the village mayor
and prominent attorney in the holy
bonds Of matrimony. Two little boys,
knowing his determination to give
them portion of the sacred history
touching Noah's marriage. hit upon
the novel idea Of FASTING together two
leaves in The family Bible so as to con-
meet. without any apparent break, the
marriage of Noah and the description
of the Ark of the Covenant.
When the noted guests were all as
sem hled and the contracting parties
with attendants in their respective sta.

les by reading the following text

The Thibodaux Sentinel says that
the present system of borrowing
district judges to act as judges of
the circuit court is very. unsatisfao-
tory. The Sentinel says "another
and probably better system, and
which we have heard seriously dis
eussed, is the creation of two Cir
cult courts of appeal, presided over
by three judges, elected by the peo-
pie. The court would sit in the
central places and bear appeals from
the neighboring parishes. This like
the first system suggested, would
provide for us a stationary court,
which would give equal satisfaction
to the Supreme Court. District
Judges as a rule are elected for their
fitness and ability as trial judges,
and while many are equally capable
of filing the duties of court of
last resort, they have not the time
nor can the interests of their judi
cial districts permit them to devote
the labor necessary to perform the
work of the appellate court as it
should be done. The people de-
mand change"

SUPPORTS MR.. RANSDELL.

The Monroe Bulletin this week in
an able and well considered article
announces its determination to sup
port Congressman Ransdell for re-
nomination. The Bulletin recognizes
in Congressman Ransdell an indefati-
gable, practical man and worker, and
thinks his experience and the posi-
ton he has won as member of the
rivers and harbors committee, which
carries with it great weight and in
fiuence, entitie him to renomina-
ton. The Bulletin rightfully gives
MIR. Ransdell full credit for great in
fluence in securing the Incorporation
of the item for locks and dams for
the Ouaehita in the rivers and har-
bors bill, and should it pass, as there
is every reason to believe it will, the
Bulletin agrees with the Star that
that service alone should merit Mr..
Ransdell an endorsement by renomi-
nation at the hands Of his constitu-
ents., 1t is the measure, above all
