Copyright, 1899, , by Seymour Eaton. GREAT AMERICAN STATESMEN. Contribuitors to this course: Professor All Master, Profgssor Charles H. Laughiin and’ others. VIL—JAMES MADISON. The title of Father of the Constitution has been properly given to Madison, for to his indefftigable efforts the prepar ! tion and adopticn of that docum largely due. As early as any Ame statesman he felt that “unless a system of general revenue be established the foundations of our independence will be laid in injustice and dishonor and the ad- vantages of the revolution, dependent upon the Federal compact, will be of short duration.” He was born in Virginia in 1751 and died in that State In 183%. For most of his life he resided in Orange County, and he was His knowledge of the principles and practice of governments was most profound and his study of the science of politics ex- tremely extensive. He was a quiet, modest, abstemious man, with little humor, and was rather stiff and formal in his ways. His morals were unexception- able and his friends found him faithful It 1s remem- bered that when first he stood for the Virginia Assembly he lost his election be- cause he refused to win over voters to his support by treating. Though opposed to any establishment of religion and on one occaslon largely Instrumental In prevent- ing Virginia from laying tax in support of churches, his own plety was devout. His first act in public life, in the Virginia convention of 1776, which Instrueted her delegates to propose independence, was to procure a change In the proposed bill of rights so that it should not read “all men should enjoy the fullest toleration in the e of religion, according to the dlc- tates of conscience”; but rather “all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion.”” He had been trained by Dr. Witherspoon at Princeton and had learned logical methods and ksen sym- pathies with the movement to break | All suspicions of foul play in the case| | of the death of Willlam N. Van Bergen | were dissipated yesterday by the autopsy | | made by Morgue Surgeon Zabala. The | autopsy” slip certifies that death was | caused by broncho-pneumonia with acute | cardiac dilatation. That the deceased was robbed shortly before or after death is doubted, although the pockets were turned Inside out and nothing. of value | remained in them. All that was found by | the Morgue deputies were a packet of | letters, a few business cards, a memor-| andum book and a bunch of Keys. | Dr. R. W. Baum, who had preseribed | | tor the deceased for some time past, in- | | formed the Coroner that Van Ber what is known to the medical fraternity | | ordinate use of intoxicating liquors, and | | that he had been In the habit of going off | gen had | as a weak heart, aggravated by the ir- | on sprees for several days at a time. | Arthur Troullet, bartender for . | Perrey of 317 Grant av: e, gaid in an in- terview yesterday that Van Bergen had | been on a spree for two or three days | iImmediately preceding his death. The last time that Troullet saw him alive was | about half-past 10 or 11 o'clock last | Wednesday night. He came into the| | saloon on the same evening between haif- | past 6 and 7 o'clock under the influence | of liquor, and when paying for a drink | exhibited a $20 plece and $5. At that time | the deceased had come from the salson | at the corner of Sutter street and Grant | avenue. When he came in later he was s0 much under the influence of liquor that Troullet refused to serve him any more liquor and advised him to go home. Van Bergen went from Perrey’'s place to the saloon on the corner of Grant avenue and Bush street. Shortly after midnight yesterday morn- ing Perrey was going to his home on the south side of Harlan place, and saw Van | Bergen's body lying on the sidewalk on the other side of the alley. He returned to his saloon and notified his bartender and Mr. Derhelmer of 311 Grant avenue of the discovery he had made. Derheimer approached the body, and finding that the unfortunate man was dead, notified the police. He saw that the pockets of the dead man had been turned inside out. The deceaséd was a son of Nicholas Van Bergen, who died about a year a and a cousin of Henry N. Van Bergen, | secretary of the Californfa Wine Associa’ tion. He was a single man, 34 years old. | and a native of California. Captain Bohen yesterday morning de- talled Detective Cody on the case, and | vesterday afiernoon thedetective reported | that after making an Investigation and talking with Van Bergen's relatives hg had come to the conclusion that he had nothing of which he could have been robbed. —— Death of Mrs. Fred Ray. The many friends of Mrs. Fred Ray, mother-in-law of Edward Brunschweiger of sthis city, will be pained to learn that her recent iliness has terminated fatally and that her death occurred yesterday at the family residence in Martinez, irs. Ray was a woman who had hundreds of friends throughout the State, and the news of her demise will be a sorrow shared by all classes of people, both those of her own social standing who knew and admired her as a friend and the numer- ous poor families who were indebted to | her kind thoughtfulness and generous charity for many a comfort which other- wise they could not have enjoyed. —————————— red at our brewery and is guaranteed ::n-&r::l.ed in quality, purity, and medicinal VIRtUS CHEUSER-BUSCH BREWING ASS'N. - Electrical Workers.

Has- selbach was the floor director ant G, F. | Porter his assistant, (From the Original by Gilber: away from Great Britain. The State early found his worth and made him member of the Council of State in 1777 and de! gate in the Continental Congress in 1779, He served there for three years during a | most trying period. When he returned home he spent some time reading law. Though never ad- mitted to the bar, he became deeply versed in the law and had been appoint- ed as early as 1779 a member of a ¢ mittee to codify the laws of Virginia. From his retirement he was called in 178 to become a member of the Hot f Delegates. He was much interested in the preservation of the State’'s honor by curing the payment of debts owed to British subjects and pald much attention to improved West. If it be true that a desire to have a Federal regulation of commerce and a Federal power to tax were the causes of the constitution It is also true that bet- ter communrication with (he West and the navigation of the Potomac River were the occaslons of that document be- Ing prepared at the time it came inio being. The stream, flowing between communication with the Maryland and Virginia, belonged to the s former State, but as there were poir of entry cn the southern bank it w necessary for both States to join In any satisfactory commercial regulations of river traffic. The mutual appeintment ot commissioners to discuss these points was urged by Madison, and was made by both State Legislature: On March 2, 7 the commissioners, by Washingtor's invitation, met at Mount Vernon and agreed on A report to be referred to their States. be uniform legislation by Maryland and Virginia with reference to duties on im- ports and regulation of commerce and of the currency. It was also sugge-ted that commissioners be appoirted annu- ally to meet and discuss such points. Maryland acted first and recommended that Pennsy!vania and Delaware be In- vited to aitend a second conference, as thelr commercial Interests were so closeiy allled to those of the two conferrin States. Here was Madison's chance. e had already contended in the Virgima Legislature that the only redress for the unsatisfactory condition of commercial affairs was a “uniform system of com- mercial regulations pervading all the States, enacted by a common authority and now determined to endeavor to m cure a convention of commissioners from all the States to consider a uniform com- mercial system and to endeavor to add to the articles of confederation an article which would secure the power of estab- lishing such a system to the Federal Government. Fearing that his own known nationalist sympathies would arouse op- position, ne secured the introduction. of his resolution by Mr. Tyler, a delegate who was not thought to be a strong Fed- eral sympathizer. The measure passed. The Virginia commissioners were ap- pointed and selected Annapolis as the place and September, 1786, as the thmne for the meeting. So few States sent delegates to Annap- olis that nothing could be done, but Han- ilton seized on the clause In New Jer- sey’s instructions to her delegates to consider “other important matters” in addition to commercial ones and secured the passage of a resolution by the cin- vention calling for the assembling of an- other general convention to meet at Phil- adelphia in May, 1787, to discuss all need. ed amendments to the articles of confed- eration. Madison, who was at Annago- lis, heartily concurred in this, as he felt the existing confederation was noth. g more than a treaty of amity. commerce and alliance between independent and soverelgn States. Virginia was the first State to appoint delegates to this Philadelphia convention. Washington was the first one named, and Madison was rightfully included in the Smith, Dr. Frederic JAMES MADISON, They also suggested that there | bert Bushnell Hart, Pre W.

Another service, of scarcely less value to the country, was the fact that he took full notes of every speech delivered in the convention and wrote them out after e esslon, As there was no official reporter and the convention sat with closed doors. Madi- #on’'s debates, as they are called. are of Incalculable value as sources of Informa- tlon. All through the summer he labored with the other delegates of that famous body, and after the work was complete he journeyed to New York to attend the | sessions of the confederation of congress, of which he had been again elected a member.
