The report that the remains of an

"Goodby, Old Man. Goodbye
Considerable surprise was expressed by
some newspapers when Senator Hale said
that he would take pleasure in introducing
his democratic successor TO his Washington
friends. Well informed folk could see moth
ing surprising in that gentlemanly purpose
Of the departing statesman. Democrats and
Republicans form warm and lasting friend

roller and all the abuse Of several years; the
sturdy statesman who was a leader among

Just think OF it! Twenty Congresses, each
of two years duration, covering a period
OF forty years, have come and gone since
"Uncle Toe" began his legislative carceri
Then there were two hundred and now there
are almost four hundred, members Of the
national House. The average has been
about two hundred and fifty for each one Of
those Congresses. All who began legislative
life with him have gone. To not less than
five thousand Senators and Representatives
he has said "Goodby, Old Mani Goodby.
To mention the names Of those who are
now departing would require pages. To
give to each one his proper need Of praise
for performance Of duty well done would re-
quire tones. To mention only a few would
make one guilty Of invidious distinctions
among men, all Of whom are worthy Of kind
words and kind thoughts.
And yet one cannot refrain from express
ing the view that the American people will
be- az least temporarily, the poorer for the
loss Of the "mastcr mechanics OF legislation,
and the "trained operatives" " in the COM
mittee work of the Senate and House.
OF course we know that the place OF
William Henry Harrison was filled, and the
place Of Zachary Taylor taken by good
man. We know also that when Lincoln was
taken away, General Garfield voiced the uni
versal sentiment Of our people in the cx-
preston "God rules. and the Government
at Washington still lives" We know that
when Garfield died his work was taken up
bv Chester Alan Arthur. We know that
when William Mckinley went hence muir
muring. "Ncarcr My God TO Thee" another
came to give promise Of fulfilling his pur-
poses.
And yet, when we bid farewell to Tawney,
the self made, hard working BLACKSMITH
orator.; Dawson, the expert on naval al
fairs; Hull, the great Chairman Of Military
Affairs; Hale the guardian Of expenditures
in the Senate; Aldrich, the tariff framer;
Burrows, the Senate Boanerges OF protec-
