If President George Washington wore a
sword while delivering his first Inaugural
address. and Vice President John Adams,
for a few weeks after his accession 10
the Office, presided over the sessions of
the Senate with a sword also by his
side. it would seem that President Roose-

carrying upon his person the means Of
self-defense while welding the same

From the New YORK Evening Post.
1t is natural at the death of one OF
the older statesmen 10 point out the
change that is taking place in the char
acter and personnel of our national pub
lie life. George F. Hoar was mourned
as the last Of the line Of classic orators
that included Webster and a series of
Puritan statesmen that included Sum-
ner and the Adamses. Mr.. Morgan never
impressed, or could have impressed the
country in the same way. But he did
belong 10 a type which. in its good quail
ities is happily in less danger Of ex-
tinction. Without the natural parts Of
Vest or HOar he gained his influence
aad reputation by interchangeable industry,
persistence, and conscientiousness. The
Senate rather surprised the country last
year by showing how much Of these
qualities still remained IN its member
ship There is no lack Of other men
who given the opportunity OF long serv-
ice, could achieve Morgans distinction
by the same thorough mastery Of legls-
latiOn The duties Of lawmaking do not
demand exactly the same qualities as
formerly Certainly. few Of our public
men would, even If they could, make
speeches quite Ike Morgan's. But there
are worse examples than the aged Senator
who carried on even his filibustering with
pondered speeches that carried almost the
encyclopaedia knowledge Of a MaCaulay-
