had truer patriot or a more active
and efficient public servant. He
was always at his post until feeble
health prevented daily attendance
at the Senate. When this was the
case he worked at home. He never
neglected any matter of the small
est detail. He was always alive to
the interests OF his constituents,
but he did not belong to that mod
ern class of statesmen who seem
willing to sacrifice the study of
great constitutional and govern
mental problems in order to give
attention to mere matters OF depart
mental detail He would not have
sacrificed a conviction in order to
obtain any power or place.
Senator Morgan's distinguished
services IN the Senate for more than
quarter OF a century entitle him
to first rank among the ablest of
that distinguished body. While
great student of all governmental
questions, he devoted the major
portion of his service in the Senate
to work for the great Isthmian Ca
nal project. He was truly the ia
Their of the canal. In season and
out of season he labored for canal
that would unite the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific. An ardent
champion of the Nicaragua route.
after the Panama route had become
an accomplished fact he gave to
that object all the benefit of the
great knowledge which he had &C
cumulated on the subject.
While always party man in the
sense that he supported the nomi-
nees of Democracy, Senator Morgan
did not hesitate at times to differ
with even the majority of his party
associates. This was shown in his
vote on the railroad rate bill. He
was one of three Senators who voted |
against the bill An ardent be-
lever in State rights, he was un-
Wiling to confer the power upon
he Federal Government which the
ate bill gave.

Mr.. Croker Gets His. ;,

Mr. Richard Croker, formerly boss
OF TammaIy Hall, the little old man
with the grizzled beard and bulldog
jaw, who long held the police desti-
MES of the metropolis in the hollow
of his hand, has been handed a gigant-
ic specimen of fruit of the circus va
rlety by no less a distinguished per-
sonage than King Edward, of the in
significant little borough of Great
Britain and Ireland.
Mr.. Croker happened upon the ex-
treme misfortune, or distinction, as
you care to view it, of winning the
English turf classic, the Derby
Darby, they call it across the nata-
forum that separates England from
the nation that has twice waloped
the land of ale and chalk clitis.
AS the fortunate owner of the thor
oughbred that accomplished the an
nually historic feat, Mr.. Croker had
the right to expect tire lla5iua of an
Invitation to dine with King Edward
and others of the royal encourage.
Such is the distinction which the I'M
written code has allotted to the Derby
winner from time immemOrial.
But it is reported that the King
viewed Mr. Croker as undesirable,
and the the traditional invitation be-
ing withheld, Mr.. Croker was fain to
be content with dining en- familie.
The British public, sharing the royal
that the race did not
go to an aristocrat or native with a |
pendulous title, also ignored the little
old boss, and he received only the con-
CALCULATIONS of his personal friends.
Now. of course, King, as we'll as a
mere civilian, has the right to invite
whom he pleases to his own table.
But it seems, to the democratic and
American, that hav-
ing allowed Mr.. Croker to enter the
race, he should have been friends and
the American contingent accorded all
The honors incident to the winner,
irrespective of his personality or or
gin. If he was undesirable" as a
winner, certainly he should have been
undesirable" as an entry.
The incident will hardly provoke
friction.

Senator Morgan.

Senator Morgan was statesman
of the old school of the South. He
was one of the last of that splendid
type of men who represented the
best sentiment, ideals and thought
Of the old South in the Senate after
the war. An ardent Democrat,
man Of lncompromising convictions
at all times, he enjoyed to the full
est measure the confidence, respect
and esteem Of his political oppo-
nents. His character was ire
proachable. No dishonest dollar
ever passed through his hands, nor
was his name ever suggested in
connection with scandal or the sub
iect OF reproach. He was in the
truest sense one OF the South's
grand old men.

Adionrns Inlv j

AaJourns July i.
Attorney. General chas. T. Gates.
Jr,, came in from Jackson last night
and win be here for day or two.
General Gates yesterday argued the
case from Memphis involving the
constitutionality of the act to pro-
hibit gambling on horse races now
pending in the Supreme Court The
case was argued for the Jockey Club
by Eldridge Wright. The latter
was given until next Friday to file
a supplemental brief, but the case
will be finally decided by the SUI
preme Court before the term ends,
about July l.
General Gates stated last night
that he had not the slightest doubt
that the law would be sustained by
the court of last resort. An attack
was made on the sufficiency of the
Indictment under which the case
was prosecuted, but this question
in no wav affects the point as to
the constitutiouality of the law.
OF course the Attorney.General of
the State had nothing to do with
drafting the Indictment.
Asked about the report that an
attempt would be made at Mem.
phis to evade the law by running
poolroom on the Mississippi River,
fitted up with all the latest gam
bling appliances, Attorney Gen.
eral Gates replied with emphasis:
"There will be no race horse gam
