behind it lay a serious intention that
the Capital should give its commit

that which the confusion of the

John Tyler Morgan.

In the generation of time that he
has occupied a seat in the upper
house of Congress, there has been
mo man in that body more worthy
or more eminently equipped to re-
fleet honor and dignity On the title

John Tyler Morgan of Alabama. He
was in the truest. largest. and best
sense Senator of the United
States. not cf any State or section.
Ripe in years and experience when
he came to the Senate, he had made
himself a place as a great lawyer
and a useful citizen. It was the
sgood fortune of his State and of the
nation that, thus equipped, he was
given the health and strength and
the unfaltering political support to
Fenable him to remain more than
thirty years in continuous service in
the upper chamber.
The patriotism, the ability, the
answering integrity of Senator
Morgan were never for one moment
questioned on either side of the
party line. To these he added monu-
mental energy, studious mind, and
unwavering courage. He was indie
pendent enough to stand alone for
what he believed to be right, and in
'Sn~ntial enough to gather around

Such answers at college entrance
examinations are the occasion for
discouraged comment in half the
periodicals OF the country. What
kind of teaching can these boys have
had? they ask What's the matter
with our schools? What's the
trouble with our boys?
Teachers, schools, and BOYS may
be partly at fault But the difficulty
lies deeper. The chief factor in pro-
ducing such ignorance in the youth
of eighteen years is an inadequate
home life. The questions to which
answers were made as above may
be taken as typical; and it is not
in the public schools that children
must learn of the Bible or alone
there that they must learn of Wash
ington Irving and American history.
If the boy who thought the Bible
was written just before the Dark
Ages had been encouraged to talk
of religion with his parents he must
either have learned more of the
Book of Books or shamed his elders
with their own ignorance. If the
father had read aloud to him Irv-
ing's little masterpiece, the son
would not have depended so largely

support. At the end he was second
only to Mr.. Allison In length of
service.
Senator Morgan was a specialist in
foreign affairs and in isthmian canal
matters. When the Democrats con-
trolled the Senate he was chairman
of the powerful Foreign Relations
Committee, ard no man of his time
has brought greater ability or ripper
knowledge to that post. He was a
statesman in the best sense; never
a politician. He would not ask for
pat ssnage. believing il a demoraliz-
ing and undignified practice. He
represented no interest of CONNER
cial character, and stood for the
highest, if withal the most old-fash-
toned, ideals of the proprieties of
Senatorial service.
Senator M0rgan's death breaks
the circle of the veteran statesmen
Of the upper chamber. In the course
of things beyond the power of man
to control, that circle is destined TO
rapid disintegration. Within it's
membership may be named Allison,

Cullom, rs; Teller, 76; Proctor. 20;
Pettus, Sc; Platt, "A; Depew, 20, and

years in Stephenson of Wisconsin,

has pledged himself shall be brief.

A Righteous Move.

Investigation of the War Depart
ment's share of the indemnity with
which China was charged by the
powers as result of the Boxer
troubles is a move for righteous
ness. 1t has long been known that
the great nations of the world, in
Guiding our own, fixed financial
punishment upon China out of all
proportion To the damage suffered
and expense undergone. For in
stance, Germany demanded 500, S32. =
342; France, So, 654; Great Brit
ain, S37, CPS, s93; Japan, S25,S15, $50;
the United States S24.I6s,357.
About $4,000, 900 has already been
handed to us by the Chinese govern
ment, and it is believed by those
who know the situation best that
we may have already been paid, and
overpaid. The missionaries claims
have all been settled, and the actual
army and navy expenses of our Gov
eminent were said to have been not
over S2,OOO,OOO. \ $4,000, 600 surplus
ishOuld cover all the damages.
The Chinese government has acted
conscientiously and honestly in the
repaying of these sums. 1t may be
said that she had to, but at the
same time the obligations of China
are being scrupulously kept. We
did not join the powers for the pur-
pose of fleeing the helpless old gov
eminent, but TO put down an incip-
lent rebellion and protect the rights
of Americans resident in the en-
.pire. To keep on grinding money
out of the situation when it NAV
not be morally and officially due us
is little short of an international
crime.
