Henry M. Teller,

Among the Senators whose terms will
expire at the end of the Fifty-seventh
Congress, on the 4th of next March, is
the veteran statesman, Teller of Colo
RADIO. 1t is the hope of partisan Repub-
licans that a Republican may succeed
him. but the prospect of such change
in Colorado politics is not by any means
assuring to those who desire 1t. He is, as
he well deserves to be, solid with his peo-
pie. His integrity a man. not less
than his universally conceded ability as
a statesman. has given him firm hold
on the respect and confidence of the best
citizens of all parties, not only in Col
orado, but throughout the country. He
came to the Senate upon the birth of
his State in the centennial year Of the
republic 1t was his first election TO any
ONCE. He has been a Senator continuous
ly from 1876. except the period between
April, 1892 and March 1885 when he was
Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet
of President Arthur.
1t is no Disagreement of any other of
the illustrious men who have held that
office to say that Secretary Teller was
the peer of the ablest of them. How he
stood IN his own State at that time was
shown by his reelection to the Senate be-
fore the expiration of his Cabinet service
And how he stood five years ago. a year
after his exit from the Republican Party

Independent Silver Republican by the phe-
nomenal vote If % in a total of 100

Senator Teller is a Democrat. He has
announced his Willingness to stand for
another Senatorial election. this time at
the hands of the Democrats. Should they
carry the State. as they confidently expect
to, the country will look to them to send
back Colorado's grand old man 10 the
scene of his long. faithful, honorable ser
vice for State and country. Their fail

narrowness, of shorts ightedness, and of
ingratitude No other man has equaled
him in successful work for Colorado's in
terests; no man who could be sent to
succeed him could fill his place in useful
ness to his State and country
The Post has noticed in a few Republi-
can papers an occasional unkind allusion
to Senator Teller for having gone over
TO the Democrats. It is needless to say
that he has never gone anywhere without
taking his unsulled honor with him.
Looking at all the facts bearing upon his
change of political utilization. We doubt

PROF. HILLS CLAIMS.
Ex-senator w. J. Boykin Speaks for
His Fellow Townsman.

Hon. w. ]. Boykin, formerly State
Senator from Russell County, but now
a .well-known member of the bar OF
Gadsden. has been in the city for the
past three weeks under treatment. He
left last night for his home in Gads-
den.
Mr. Boykin has taken very little inter-
est in the coming primary. except In the
race for Superintendent of Education. He
is an ardent supporter of his fellow
townsman, Prof l. W. HILL In an in
terview yesterday, he said: While l do
not insist that Professor Hill is the best
men in the race for State Superintendent
of Education, I do insist that he Is the
best equipped man for the Office to which
he aspires, as he is the only practical
school man asking for the nomination.
The GadsJen High School. of which he Is
principal can be looked to as a monu-
ment to his fitness and qualification for
the office of Superintendent of Educa-
ton.
His people at home are loath to give
him up, and If we looked to our selhsh
Interest. we would refuse to assist him
in his race, but Gadsden's loss would be
the States gain While Professor Hill is
not a politician in any sense of the term,
he Is well-known by the teachers and
all others closely identified with public
education in Alabama. The strength
which he will develop Monday will be
one of the surprises of the campaign.
Mr. Hill is running for the office on
his merits and when called upon to know
whom he would support for Governor
does not hesitate to say that of the two
candidates running he favors Mr.. jerks
and will support him in the primary.
While he is for Mr.. Jelks. he is not ask
ing for the office because of his support
of the present Governor. His friends ask
the party to nominate him because of his
recognized ability and unquestioned mt
ness for the Office adv.

LINES TO A SKELETON.

About fifty years ago The London
Morning Chronicle published poem en-
titled Lines to Skeleton" which eX-
cited much attention. Every effort, even
to the offering Of reward of 80 guineas,
was vainly made to discover the author.
All that ever transpired was that the
poem, in fair clerks hand, was found
near skeleton of remarkable beauty of
form and color in the museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons. Lincolns Inn,
London, and that the curator of the mu-
scum had it sent to Mr.. Perry, editor
and proprietor of The Morning Chroni-
Gle.
Behold this ruin: twas a skull
Once OF ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was lfe's retreat.
This space was thoughts mysterious seat
What beauteous visions filed this spot?
What dreams of pleasure long forgot?
Nor hope. nor love. nor joy. nor fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this moldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But stare not at the dismal void
II social love that eye employed.
II with no lawless fire it cleaned.
But through the dsws of kindness
beamed-
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready. swift and tuneful tongue
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke.
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine?
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them;
But if the page Of truth they sought.
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shod.
These feet the paths of duty trod?
If from the bowers of ease they fed
To seek ahiiction's humble shed;
II grandeur's guilty bride was spurned
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angel wings shall vie.
And tread the palace of the sky.

THE STONE ABDUCTION.

Constantinorle, Aug. 3l.-The
report circulated in the United
States by news agency that the
Turkish government had addressed
an abrupt note to United States
Minister Leishman, saying that it
absolutely refused to further dis
cuss the responsibility for the cap
ture by brigands of Ellen E. Stone,
the American missionary, and a
companion, in September, 1901, as
the outrage was not committed on
Turkish territory, is not true. As
matter of fact, the question of
the porte's responsibility is indis-
putable, since the capture, payment
of the ransom and liberation of the
captives all occurred on Turkish
territory. The correspondence on
the SUBJECT or the measures taken
for the delivery and arrest of the
efforts displayed by the Turkish
authorities has been the subject of
complaint by the United States le-
CATION. The porte is following its
usual course of trying by every
means to evade the demands of the
legation for the capture and pun
ishment Of the guilty persons, al
leging, among other reasons, that
the captives, when released, did
not furnish sufficient information
to enable the authorities to find the
brigands.
