As a Man, Orator and Statesman.


Rock Island Union The death OF
Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver comes as
a shock to the people Of the United
States. To Jig here, OF course, and
to the people of Iowa, which state
he has represented in both houses OF
congress for 80 long, it comes with
additional force While he was West
Virginian by birth, he came into this
western country when young and 1t
was In the atmosphere of the west
that he grew to manhood Therefore,
he was of the west just as much as
though he was born here.
AS a man Senator Dolliyer was
above reproach. AS a statesman he
was honest in the performance of the
trust reposed in him by his people.
He saw things from the western view
point. His labors were for the people
of his state, and they were labors
that few We're more capable of per-
forming. He was aggressive in the
advocacy of what he believed was
right. If he erred in performance of
his duty as a member of the highest
legislative body in the world that
error was prompted by his loyalty to
the garden state of the prairie which
he SO faithfully represented.
Senator Dolliver was an orator. He
did not resort to clap-trap and bun
comb so prevalent among those who
received their training in the seven
ties nor was his oratory of the
spread-eagle style. He spoke slowly.
fluently and distinctly, in language
that could be understood by a child.
His mastery of his subject, his logic
and his use of pat illustrations held
his audiences oft-times for hours. In
debate he was keen, quick at re-
partee, and when occasion required
could fay his adversary with the
keenest of sarcasm and satire. When
1t was known that Dolliver was to
address the senate on some important
issue, the galleries were filled and the
members of that august body were in
their seats.
Dolliyer was statesman. His repu.
tation was based upon his individual
merit. He was patriotic, and in all
the years of his service scandal never
pointed its finger towards him. In

An Able, AII-Around Man.

Chicago Record-Herald: The dis
patches Of last week concerning the
condition Of Senator Jonathan P. Dol
liver indicated that his recovery was
expected as matter of course, ana
the country was wholly unpreparea
for the startling news of his death
We learn, too, from the story OF
the death scene that there could have
been no preparation for his family
and close associates. They have sus
tanned a severe shock that is partly
realized by the great circle OF bis
countrymen who have followed Dis
labors OF the last two years WIN
growing esteem and admiration; they
will have the sympathy of thousands
in their sudden sorrow and may be
assured at the same time that their
loss is generally considered ma
tional loss.
When Mr.. Dolliver was first elect
ed to congress he was young man,
and, like other young politicians OF his
time, he achieved distinction chiefly
as an orator Today Senator Clapp Oh
Minnesota says Of him: with ten
years OF intimate association win
him and knowledge OF his work can
truthfully say that he was without
doubt the ablest 'all-around man IN
the American senate. Thorough!
alive to the best interests OF the
American people, he was man
whose ability was equaled only oy

COMES
 :. I.:0|CAPE. :| JONES.
tFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Adviees from Pasadena, Cal, con- tain the sad announcement of the death in that city a few days ago of one of the best known veterans of the late war, Captain John Pember- ton Jones. The deceased was a brother of our townsman, Col. T. NJ. Jones, who resides at 220 North Mount Yer non avenue, and to whom the tender sympathy of all is extended in the sad bereavement that faces him. The death of this veteran revives the mem ory of the conflict of other days, and the heroism of the man who has gone, i. one that brings to the present era the memorable struggle on. sea that took place when the Monitor and Mer- rimac crashed into each other. Cap tain Jones commanded the Confederate ironclad on that day, and directed it's movements in the second battle in that thrilling fight, as its executive officer.
 Captain Jones was a graduate of West Point, and when the war broke out his sympathies took him to the side of the South. and he remained with that cause until the final sur render at Appomattox. As tribute to his valor and as typifying his citi- zenship, his courageous conduct during the Civil War was best shown in the navy of the nation when the big bat tleship fleet entered San Francisco harbor and its officers were banquet ted in that city. A chair was placed for his occupancy, but as old age was creeping upon him, and as he was physically unable to be present, the place was left vacant, and Captain Jones' utilization with his comrades of that arm of the service was eemented in the silent approval of his remark able career in the cause to which ne was devoted.
 The dead officer had reached the re- markable age of S5 years, and grad uated from the Academy in 1s47. The surviving members of his family are to be extended the eondolenee of many friends here, as well as elsewhere in the nation.

AGAINST INCREASE IN
 RATES
By Associated Press.

IT
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30. - Vigorous representation was made to- day to Attorney General .Wiekersham in the interests along the western traffic lines, asking the government to enjoin the railroads from putting into effect the general increase in freight rates on June 1st, notice of which was given month ago. Tney argued the increase was unwsrranted and unjust, and the result of a com binstion or agreement in eontraven- ton of law.
 Wiekershsm told his callers he would do the best he could, but de- elined to outline what his course might be.
 The opinion was expressed that the increased rates were the forerunner of general advance.
 The complaint is made that the roads are keeping the new tariff schedules from general circulation. It was said conditions favor a gen eral reduction instead of an increase of rebate proposition.
