The Passing of Cockrell.

The Passing of Cockrell.
For the first time in thirty-s
years the state Of Missouri has
gone republican and the state
legislature this winter will elect
a successor to United States
Senator Cockrell, the grand old
Missouri man.
Senator Cockrell is one of the
really great democrats of the day
-heis more than a great democrat;
he is a great man. The democrats
of Missouri put him forward as
a candidate for the presidential
nomination. But blinded by that
strangefalla that a nobody from
a doubtful stateis stronger than a
real man from a sure state, dem
ocracy gave little heed to Senator
Cockrell. They would have done
better to have nominated him. He
would at least have saved Mis-
souri, for them.
Senator Cockrell is one of the
heroic figures of the day in
America. A Confederate soldier
and general, who sacrificed every
personal interest, for the country
he loved and the cause he deemed
just, a senator of the republic for
thirty six years, a man always
and everywhere, there have been
few members of the minority
who have contributed so much to
the greatness Of the nation as he.
Other democrats have been more
in the public eye, but none have
been more wise and honorable.
There are some Americans
who have failed Of the presidency
who are greater than those who
have won it. OF these Missouri's
Grand Old Man is one.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-In spite of the
fact that today is a holiday, District

and will examine witnesses connected
with the case of Charles F. Dodge

STRANGE THEORY
OF CONSPIRACY

Strange almost to point of improba-
bility were the developments in the
Dodge-Morse marital tangle that came to
light yesterday in the course Of District
Attorney Jerome'S investiga tion into the
criminal side of the affair, says the New
York Press. Net only are men of mil
lions and high social and judicial posi-
tions involved in the conspiracy which
the grand jury will investigate on Wed
nes3ay. but yesterday there was men
toned the name of woman OF the
highest social standing who is said by
the enemies of one Of the central fig
