G lrdner's Tribute to Senator Nc
Milan

Memorial services for the late Sena-
tor James Mcmillan were held in Wash
ington Feb 1st. and eulogies We're
spoken by members of the Michigan
delegation in the house and by members
from other states. One of the ablest of
the addresses was that made by Con-
gresham Washington Gardner, who,
after briefly reviewing the life of Sena-
tor Mcmillan, said:
1T has been said of him that no man
ever lived in Michigan who did so
much to build up Detroit. the metropo-
lis of the state, or to develop and util-
ize the resources of that great COM
monwealth
Zone of the distinguishing features of
his business career was his ability to
select with almost unerring sagacity the
subordinates who were to fill important
positions and to share in the response
bilities of conducting his vast and
varied undertakings. Another charac-
teristic was the iberality with which
he treated his subordinate Chiefs not
only in the matter of compensation and
the importation of his confidence, but in
making them sharers and participants
in the success of the particular branch
of business with which they had to do.
Not few men now in the prime of
prosperous careers are indebted not
only for their business training, but
their financial start, to this broad
minded and liberal hearted man.
From these successes and fortunate
business ventures on large scale Mr..
Mcmillan, at the end of series of
years, emerged with an established
reputation as an honorable, far-seeing
and successful business man, and with
an acquired fortune which, even in
these days of colossal accumulations, is
regarded as princely
In political life we think of Mr.. Nc
MILAN only as senator. But men rarely
come to that great Office without having
had some previous experience which
demonstrated their ability and fitness
for the high station. In this respect
Mr.. Mcmillan was not an exception to
the rule. AS early as 1874 he was
chosen member of the Detroit board
of estimates, later he served on the
board of park commissioners, and still
later as a director in the museum of
art. In each and all of these positions
he discharged the duties devolved with
credit to himself and acceptibility to
the city.
''His introduction into state politics
was through his relation to the Michi-
gan Republican state central committee.
In that body his organizing and
executive ability early gave him rec
ognized standing with his fellow mem
bers, and when Zachariah Chandler
died he was chosen to succeed, as chair
man of the committee, that great leader
of men.
'As the administrative head of his
party through several successive cam
paigns he so favorably impressed him
self upon the republicans of his state
that i'm 1889 he received unanimous
nomination for the United States SEN
ate. In 1895 he received for his sec
ond term the vote of every legislator of
both parties, and again in 1901 he was
chosen for third time without contest.
II will leave to others the agreeable
task of dwelling upon his senatorial

FoRDNEY HAD BILL PASSED.


These two lines constituted the lead
ing headlines over the Free Press Wash
ington correspondence Tuesday. The
incident calling them out is reproduced
here as given by the Free Press staff
correspondent. 1t shows once more the
habit which Congressman Fordney has
formed of getting what he goes after
when it comes to a question of getting
a measure through the house. When
the names of the men who opposed the
measure are considered the fact that
Mr.. Fordney scored an easy victory is
the clearer indication of his ability
to accomplish things even under sharp
opposition. The Free Press dispatch is
as follows:
After weeks of lining up, Representa-
tive Fordney today succeeded in getting
a bill through the house giving an
American registry to the steamer Beau
mont, formerly the British steamer
Myra, owned by F. w. Gilchrist, of AL
pena The Myra was wrecked while on
q voyage from Boston bound to Lewis
burg, Cape Breton, in February, 1902.
She struck on the rocks and afterward
went high and dry on Chebogue Point,
Nova scotia, where she remained until
August of the same year, six months
when she was released by most re-
markable feat of salving. Gilchrist
purchased the steamer at private sale
for $50, 900 and also assumed the salvage
charge amounting to $50, 1905
Representatives Littlefeld, Dalzell
and Payne opposed the bill in the in
terests of numerous American ship
builders, and it was productive of a
sharp debate. Fordney, however, had
done lot of missionary work, and he
won easily when vote was taken.

Poultney Bigelow, the journalist who
aroused the ire of Americans by his
criticisms of American methods during
the Cuban campaign, now pays this
country the compliment of saying that
the German Emperor could land hun
dred thousand men on our shores and
work such injury before they could be
stopped, that it would take years for
the country to recover from the disaster.
He also compliments the Emperor by
saying that he knows more about war
ships than any other man living, and
touches Yankee pride again by by add
ing that the German Emperor could
reproduce any cruiser or warship in the
United States navy. All of which
would be mighty interesting reading-if
people had unlimited confidence in the
good judgment of Mr.. Poultney Bige.

from Delaware, is certainly getting q
most complete write up at the hands
of George KEENAN, in the Outlook. One
hardly knows which impresses him the

corrupted an entire state, with of course
some noteworthy exceptions, or admira-

Mr.. KEENAN, and the editors of the Out

There is certainly something to be adj
mired in the way in which Senator Quay
sticks to his statehood bill. but it would
be much more satisfactory to the peo-
pie of the country at large, if his perse-
verance and ability were centered on
some more worthy object.

The establishment of the Department
of Commerce and the resulting addition
of another cabinet officer TO the presi.
Dental family is cause for no small
amount of congratulation to the country
at large. The nomination of the first

country is again to be congratulated.

than Mr.. Geo.. b. Cortelyou, who was
President McKinley's private secretary

named as the first to occupy this position.

Guess there is not much for citizens
of the United States to blush about in
the way in which our state depart

deled affairs fer Venezuela during
the last few weeks. There seems
to be quite few things going on
nowadays to make Americans proud of
their country and its administration.
Incidentally there are few things that

win the admiration of the rest of the

Lower Rio Grande CauliflOWer,

As a specimen of what can be
raised on the lower Rio Grande,
Celestin Jagou Sons sent to the
editor, with their compliments, this
morning, a very large and handsome
head of caulihower. 1t is indeed a
line sample, weighing nearly three
and a half pounds and measuring
Just 234 inches in circumference,
stripped of its outer leaves, and
being white and compact. This
head is from the truck patch at
ESperanza, the famous plantation
Of the Messrs. Jagou, where they
have an abundance of cauliflower
equally as fine as this specimen,
besides many other varieties OF fine
vegetables. A visit to the Espe-
ranza plantation will convince
anyone that this is destined to b
the truek-growers' paradise, as soona
as We secureshipping facilities.
