SENATOR ROOT RETIREs.

Notwithstanding that Elihu Root
has reached the age Of three score
years and ten there vii be a nation
wide conviction that his retirement
from the United States senate is a
loss to be long and deeply felt, says
the Des Moines Capital.
If ever there was needed special
let in international law it is now,
when new issues are constantly aris-
ing, when international relationships
are becoming more and more delicate
and complicated, and when cool heads
and clear minds are necessary to
shape policies in such manner that
high tension shall not give place to
irritation or something more serious
and at the same time the national
dignity and independence be held in
tact.
Senator Root is that kind Of spe-
cialist. His experience as secretary
OF war and as secretary of state un-
der former administrations, the sue
cessful manner in which he concluded
special missions to foreign countries
were experiences which qualified him
for high service to his country and
that it must be admitted has been
unstintingly given.
Elihu Root has long been prominent
IN New York state politics but he
has always been able to rise above
all questions of mere party expediency
when the issues of real statesman.
ship were invoked.
The logical result of so distinguish
ed career must be to add to the
name of William H. Seward and VIII

Mr.. Taylor was entitled to continue

believes in protecting Colorado indus
tries but he voted for free sugar and
free soup houses. Outside of this
economic proposition. Mr.. Taylor is
head and ears above any Colorado
Democrat sent to either the house or
senate and as no action will be taken
on tariff revision until the Republi-
cans obtain control in 1867, Mr..
Taylor fills the position with general
