SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 10. 1906

THE friends of Senator German
throughout the south will be glad to
learn that the recent reports of bis III
ne,s we're exaggerated and that the
Senator'S health, which has been con-
siderably broken down by reason OF the
great strain upon him is gradually
being restored. The Senator has been
sadly missed from his seat during the
past few months and his complete resto-
ration to health and his early return to
the Senate are The hopes of his hosts OF
friends. The Lynchburg News voices
the estimate in which Senator German
Is held in the south when it says:
Mr.. German has long been conspic'
nous in the public service OF his coun-
try. having filled the sphere allotted to
him ably and with distinguished honor.
For more than two decades. he has been
rewarded AS a commanding force on the
floor of the United States Senate
soundly versed in the lore OF statecratt,
and an able and resourceful party chief
and leader. Though a partisan, Mr..
German has been none the less patriot
and at all times a conservative factor in
the deliberations of the Senate and the
councils Of his party. As parliament
tary fgher, he has had few equals. The
splendid strategic ability together with
the indomitable courage aud tenaclty
with which he gave battle to the federal
fore, bill, introduced in Congress during
Harrison's Observation-Disclosures defeated
il. Accomplished an end that will always
be remembered TO his credit, and no.
where more so than in the South, whose
people il was intended to Cypress. All
conditions were unisvOrable to his side
of the contention. The bill was pend
ing in a Congress heavily republican In
both branches and had passed the House
aud republican President was in the
WhiteHouse anxiOusly waiting to ap.
prove it, But he was never given OPP
portunity to d. so German was largely
instrumental iG putting this republican
device 10 sleep, and he dds in a repub-
licau senate. The debt OF gratitude that
he thus earned from the South can not
be paid save through the admiring and
afI.ctionate regard of the Southern peo-
ple-but in that way it has long since
met its full discharge.

companying the explosion a great cloud
