Spuukmg of hie death the Savan

“The death of ex President Harri
sow will bo universally regretted. He
was a man of positive character, high
ideals and firm convictions. An
ehief executive of the nation he sur
rounded himself with able men, aud
gave the country a clean administra
tion. While lie never professed or
displayed partiality towards the
South', lit treated this section fairly
and justly, as, ideed, he did all of the
oilier sections. He was a strong Re
publican, even a partisau while in of
fice; nevertheless he did not permit
his partisanship to interfere with his
sense of duty to the public. Aa i
statesman Gen. Harrison made a rep
illation in the Seuate, which he added
to while in the White House. His
fame as a lawyer was aohieved prin
cipally after he left the presidential
office. Hu was known before that
lime as a good lawyer, but few per
sons looked upon him as a great one.
Wheu he left the exeoutiye mansion
however, there were demands for him
in important cates, and the probabil
ities are that lie received some of the
largest fees ever paid to an American

Andrew Carnegie, the great steel
king of America, has retired from
aotne business life and In doing so
lias made a donation of $5,000,000
for the endowment of a fund for the
superannuated and disabled em

Polygamy is to be protected un
der a recent law passed by the Utah
Senate in defiauoe of the Edmonds

enacted by a Mormon legislature, is
to draw absolute protection around

It
