TRIBUTE TO Mr.. FIFIELD
4 Distinguished VermOnter Conn
ments on Delightful Letter Which
MOntpeller's Great Lawyer Wrote
on Morrill, and Edmunds.
To the Editor of the Journal

To the Editor of the Journal
In printing Mr.. Fifelds reminis-
cences of Senators Morrill, and Ed
munds you gave your readers one
of the most delightful bits of reading
that has appeared in Vermont in
many a day. Being at the Morrill,
centennial exercises | watched Mr..
Fifeld's classic face, worthy of a
Greek god, as he listened intently to
President Buckham's mastery analy-
sis of the dead Senator's career.
tried to imagine what his own career
would have been had not "opportu-
nifty" been twice swerved from its
course. First, when the Vermont
delegation in Congress unanimously
agreed upon his name as a successor
to Judge Smalley upon the Federal
bench. William NJ. Evarts, Secretary
of State and Judge Devens of Massa-
chusetts, Attorney General in Presi-
dent Hayes Cabinet knew Vermont
well and knew Mr.. Fifeld's connec-
ton with railroad interests in YER
mont and persuaded the President to
name Judge Wheeler.
But they were utterly mistaken in
the man. Had Mr.. Fifield been ap-
pointed no favors would have been
shown to any one. His high sense of
justice and honor was effectively
shown in 1880 when the Republicans
of Montpelier wanted to elect him to
the Legislature and he consented but
first resigned the highly honorable
and lucrative office of District At
torney for the State, which he then
held. At this time United States Of
fcials were elected to the Legislature
at every session and took their seats
without thought of opposition. But
Mr.. Fifield's keen and fastidous
! sense of obedience to the constitution
of his State would not allow him tC
| follow in unworthy footsteps. Had
he been named as Judge this same
lofty sense of right would have dc
tated his every action. Under proper
circumstances he might have become
second Draco or Justinian.
He always detested and despised
lobbyist; no one ever saw him
lowering around the hotels and Capt
tol in this degrading occupation.
! His second opportunity" came
when he was appointed to be Sena,
tor Morrll's successor. Had he ac-
cepted this high honor he could not
have been swept away as was Judge
Ross, either by the expenditure of &
fortune on the one hand or by the
charms of personal friendship on the
other; he would have been in the Ma
tional Senate today with the reputa
ton of Edmunds and Morrill, com
bined.
But he declined the appointment
because he had an invalid wife whom
he could not take to Washington.
One may search all the annals o
knight-errancy in vain for another
such act of self-abneg cation: sucl
adherence to duty; such chivalri
and exquisite devotion.

LINKS SOUND TALK
To HAWAIIAN VOTERS
Democratic Success Would Ruin
the Plantations and Reduce
Wages of Laborers.

eff we should have Democratic
admin istration it would surely spoil the
prospects Of our sugar plantations,
said L. L. McCandless. in the course
of political address, in which he ad
vised his hearers that cit is better to
vote for Republican Delegate because
the President of the United States is
Republican and in the United States
, congress two-thirds of the members are
Republicans. -
Such were McCandless' words at the
opening meeting of the Republican cam
paign in October, 1900. What he said
then was in relations to conditions such
as exist today. Conditions have not
changed, but the party McCandess sup
ported at that time would not allow
him to run it and be their candidate for
Delegate
At that time Col. Sam Parker was
opposing Robert Wilcox for delegate
and the first speaker at the first meet
ing was l.. L. McCandess.
The report in The Advertiser of that
meeting says:
When McCandless took the floor the
house was apparently filed with indie
pendents only. There was~not cheer
or sound of applause for the spea 1er
All was silent and the dropping Of a
pin could have been heard In spite
of this McCandless faced his audience
boldly and spoke in Hawaiian. He said
the old days were gone and Hawaii was
commencing a new era. After he had
commented on the three parties in the
field he remarked:
eff YOU vote for an Independent
Delegate to represent us in the United
States congress, the President would
ask him. From what party are you?
If he SAYS, 1 belong to the lndepend-
ent. that would be sufficient for the
President, and he would not care to
hear a word from him 1t is better
that YOU select a Republican or a Demo
cratic congressman. But again, I warn
YOU it is better still that you vote for
a Republican Delegate. because the
President of the United States is a
Republican and in the United States
congress two-thirds of the members are
Republicans.

party They want free trade. If we
Should have Democratic adminstra-
t1nn I would surely spoll the prospects
of our sugar plantations and rice planta-

would see the lands formerly planted

emf the laborers are getting SIS to 500

come into power and Introduce their

The cars were ordered in anticipa-

Each car is equipped with two 60

the New York Republican convention
yesterday for the governor of the en-

In his address of nomination, Roose-
