The Passing of Two Statesmen

Two noted figures in political life have recently passed away, William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, author of the Wilson tariff law and Postmaster-General under Cleveland's administration, and John Sherman, of Ohio, financier, and who filled at different times two cabinet positions, Secretary of the Treasury, and Secretary of State, the latter in the beginning of the present administration. Men may come and men may go, but politics, like Tennyson's brook, goes on forever, or as long as this world exists. The demise of these men makes room for other aspiring politicians.
