A Statesman and Legislator.

Senator Morgan's life was well ordered,
for his happiness, for his fame and for the
good of the country. Indulging a taste for
public service. he addressed himself to the
great questions of the day and mastered
them. so that he became, not only an i'm
portant participation in affairs, but an au-
thority on all that looked to the larger de-
velopment of the nation. His breadth Of
vision was not exceeded by that of any
American of his day. He would have made
a successful Secretary of State. He would
have adorned the Supreme Court of the
United States. In the presidency itself he
would have found a fine field for his large
grasp of things and his iron resolution.
Had Mr.. Morgan, al the close of the civil
war, made different choice, it is certain
that he would have succeeded in private
life. 1t is easy to conceive him as the
leader of the bar at home. and one Of the
leaders of the southern bar, with all the
retainers he cared to accept. and enjoying
a home life of comfort and marked useful
ness. His sympathies and activities had
been with his people in the colossal strug-
gle which shook the continent, and they
would have sought the aid of his large tai
ents in the settlement of difficulties and the
shaping of private enterprises. In this way
he would have amassed from his practice a
large fortune and been the master of his
own time.
But he gave himself instead to the coun-
try, and assumed the burdens of a public
servant. He worked hard. and in all seasons.
He took his commission seriously The
mere parades of station were nothing to
him. He remained poor. He secured, and
valued, the confidence of his countrymen
and felt himself abundantly rewarded in
what came to him from the legitimate sources
of the service to which he devoted his whole
time.
And so Mr.. Morgan became a statesman
in the fullest sense of that often loosely
applied word, and trainedIegislator of the
first class. In the minority during the
greater part of his career in Office, he took
no thought of patronage, and figured in no
snarls over what is known as pie His
name is associated only with matters of
national and international moment, and
with them Is associated as a leader He
always had something to say, and said it
we'll. He was not the entertainer, but the
instructor, of audiences. Those seeking in
formation remained with him when he took
the floor in debate and were always abun-
dainty rewarded for their attention.
The south in Mr.. Morgan possessed a son
of rare gifts and merit. and his fame will
be secure while her best men are remem-
bered.
