from h0 eat In the house last week
and Mr, Richmond Pearson, Republic
an, eated In hi stead, although Craw
ford was as lair! and clearly elected
as waa any man who voted to put him
out. This was as foul an outrage as
was erer perpetrated even by a Re-
publican boose, which, as 1 am fully
aware. Is putting It strong. "
MJ uiaesa is to practice law. roi-
I ii ics is wix a me oniy a recreation, in

j learned that a fact farorable to my
I side of a case, stated by a witness for
1 the opposing side, has .much more force
srarujB ruaii can no jjemocrayic

of an eminent Republican, thoroughly
, roarerant with the facts to wit. Gov
ernor Roftsell of North Carolina. Sure

The truth Is," added Governor Rus
sell. "Pearson was fairly beaten by
Mr. Crawford. Ills real complaint Is
that be did not hare rotes enough.
There are tber Republicans In the
state who think as I do about it. among
them Colcn-l Lusk and Mr. Smathers.
They tar tb-t Mr. Crawford ought to
want Mr. Pearson to be seated because
It means a sweep for Crawford next
November. They think It worse than
that It means tbe loss to us of many
seats In the legislature. What Is the
use of our making the great issue as
to honesty la our elections If our own
party should perpetrate such a fraud
as thia Why. Just think of IL The
wbo4e city of Ashevllle Is to be flung
ia the ditch because a colored man
was arrested for perjury committed

vote of Buncombe county?"
Dearlaar Dltter Kralt.
TJorernment by proconsuls Is beating
Its natural and Inevitable fruit In Cul i
a ad elsewhere. That fruit Is bitter
and naueeating. - For a week or two
the papers have ben full cf the scan
dals touching the wonderful and ex
traordinary allowances to our officials
la Cuba. The question as to them has
cot been definitely -settled, whether
these allowances were made with any
shadow of legal authority or were
; aade as "a military necessity," a
pbra&e which, like the mantle of chari
ty. Is made to cover a multitude of
sins.
Tbe country had scarcely had
time to catch Its breath after theso
StarUmff rr-elatlons before the press !
dal over there had got down to plain
stealing. His name is Mr. C. F. Neely.
For a novice he started" out strong, as
at hi first grab he appears to have
cabbaged willfully and feloniously
some fZQ.M) of somebody else's money
-I'ucle Sam's money or tbe Cubans'
money. While C. F. Neely will not
be a name for Republican spellbinders
to conjure with this year. It must be
said for Mr. Neely that he took his
nerve with him when he went to Cuba.
I have not been Introduced to Mr. Nee
ly and have no chance to 6tudy his
psychological processes at short range,
but I Judge that, seeing other no more
meritorious proconsuls In the enjo
ment of fat -allowances' on the side,
he concluded he would make himself
an allowance and proceeded to do so
without any unnecessary red tape.
That be "allowanced himself at an
Inopportune season for the Republican
spellbUders is patent. He, as a matter
of ordinary gratitude to the McIIan-
caStes, ought to have postponed feath
ering his nst until after the election.
, but his Impatience hurried him into
do!u?r an untimely piece of business.
What tbe poor, benighted Cubans,
who fought Spain so long to rid thera-
i selves of Spanish plunderers and
thieves, will think of American plun
derers and thieves is a question which
is liable to cause some trouble to Mark

ty ani sweetness. The Cubans may

I apprehend that the title of that
roat editorial, Opea the. Books Ia
Cuban will cause . the cold chills to
chase each other up and down the
spinal columns of the McIIannaites,
for "Open the Books T' was the slogan
of that immortal Democrat Thomas A.
Ilendrtcks of Indiana In 1SS4. and it
had much to do with the 'Democratic
victory of that year. "'Open the Books
In Cuba!" will have much to do with
the Democratic victory this year.
The Post has rendered Democracy a
good service by giving it a tiptop bat
tlecry. It will not do to underrate the
force of a happy phrase. Lord Whar
ton always claimed that he whistled
King JameS II out of three kingdoms,
and everybody knows what a marvel
ous part a few Jingly sentences, some
of them well nigh Idiotic, cut in the
famous campaign of 1S40. But "Open
the Books In Cuba!" ia not idiotic It Is
full of meat and founded on wisdom.
Tne quicker they are opened the better.
In the following words Senator Iloar
tears the Jingoes and their fantastic
arguments into tatters, or, in ring par
lance, cuts them Into ribbons.
Why, Mr. TeMnt, U it credible tht ny
America a ttatrsman, that nr American senator,
that any intelligent American citizen anywhere
two yean ago could hare been found to affirm
that a proceeding like that of the Paris treaty
could give a just and valid title to sovereignty
over a people .ituated as were tbe people of those
islands T A title of Spain, originally by conqueet,
never submitted to nor admitted by the people of
the islands, with frequent insurrections at differ
ent times for centuries, and then the yoke all
thrown off, a constitutional government, schools,
colleges, churches, universities, hospitals, town
governments, a legislature, a cabinet, courts, a
code of laws and the whole island occupied and
controlled by its people, with the single excep
tion of one city, with taxes lawfully levied and
collected, with an army and the beginning of a
navy.-
And yet the senate, the congress, enacted less
than two years ago that the people of Cuba con
trolling peaceably no part of their island, levying
no taxes in any orderly jot peaceable way, with
no administration of justice, no cabinet not only
of right ooght to be, but were, in fact, a free and
Independent state. I did not give my assent to
that declaration of fact, " I assented to the doe
trine that they of right ought "to. be. But I
thought the sta'ment of fact much calculated to
embarrass the government of tbe United States,
if it were bound by that declaration, and it has
been practically disregarded by the administra
tion ever since. But the question now is a very
different one. You not only deny that the Fili
pinos are, but you deny that they of right ought
to be, free and independent, and you recognise
Spain as entitled to sell to you the sovereignty of
an island where she was not at the time occu
pying a foct of territory, where her soldiers were
held captives by the government of the island, a
government to which you had delivered over a
Urge number of Spanish prisoners to be held as
captives. And yet you come here today and say
that they not only are not, but they of right
ought not, to be free and independent, and when
you are pressed you answer us by talking about
rcountains of iron and nuggets of gold and trade
with China.
1 affirm that you cannot" get by conquest, and
you cannot get by purchase, according to tbe
modern law of nations, according to the law of
nations as accepted and expounded by the United
Stat?, sovereignty over a people or title to a ter
ritory of which the powervthat undertakes to sell
it or tha power from whom you underttke co
wrest it has not the actual possession and do
minion. Under municipal law you cannot buy a
horse of which the seller is dispossessed ;
nnot buy a foot of land of which he is disseut-
eu ; you csnnoi purrnase isuju uiiuc-i
niiinnsl !,w vnii nnnnt huv a neocle from a
power that has no actual dominion over them.
You cannot buy a war. More than this, you can
not buv -a trrani's claim to subject again an op
pressed people who have achieved their freedom.
You. cannot, I uy tbe liberties .of a people from
a dispossessed' tyrant liberties "they have bravely
won for themselves in arms. You cannot bu.
sovereignty like merchandise and men like sheep.
The king of England kept, down to 1600, the title
of duke of Normandy and king of France. Could
any other country or all Euro together bare
bought France of King George tl wonder what
would have banned if. instead ct acknowledg
ing our independence, any time before tfce French
treaty France had bought England out and under
taken to assert her title to the United States.
These questions hsve to be answered, not amid
the shouting and applause of a political cam
paign, not in party platforms, not alone in a sin
gle campaign cr a single generation. They have
got to" be answered to history, to the instructed
conscience of the civilized world, when the pas
sions and the greed and the ambitions of a sin
gle generation have gone by and are cold. And
there will be to them but one answer.
Gatea Goes Free.
When the old woman was informed
that the cow had eaten the grindstone,
she exclaimed. "I told you so!" I am
in her frame of mind. Recently I pre
dicted In these letters that the prosecu
tion against. Hon. John W. Gates for
cheating, swindling, fleecing and other
wise maltreating other Wall street
gamblers would come to naught. That
prediction has been fulfilled, a Ne
York judge having liberated Gates. Cf
course he did. I guess that after' the
fleeced gamblers tad applied arnica o4
their woundi and had had time to re
flect they concluded that, as Gates had
i already realized a colossal fortune at
their expenre, he might, if driven to
the wall, take it into his head to gir
the snap away and thereby prerent
them from recouping themselves for
bosses inflicted upon them by Gates by
fleecing tenderfoot operators In tha
perilous street. So Gates goes free to
arrange other coups and to throw oth
er thousands out of employment in or
der that he may pile up a few addition
al millions.
I wish to repeat that as between
Gates and his Wall street opponents It
is a choice betwixt tweedledum and
tweedledee. When they abuse each
other, it is a. case of the pot calling the
kettle black, but the public has this di
rect interest In having Gates prosecut
ed to the full extent of the law a bona
fide prosecution conducted by a brave,
resolute. Incorruptible prosecuting at
torney before a fair, capable, Ineorrup.
Ible ccurt might or might not end ia
his conviction, but would drag to the
light of da the Inside working of the
wire and s ?el trust, which is neither
better nor worse than the rest of the
trusts.
The trusti must be destroyed, or the
bulk of the people will be reduced to

WAS TOO BEALISTIC.
Actor Mistaken for a Tramp and
Ejected from the Theater.
Frederick Boaa Hake-fTa at
Trams Was s Tr to Life That
the Stag; Doorkeeper Took
Him for. a: Real Hobo.
Frederic tBond, who now takes the
part of the head waiter in "At the Whits
llorse Tavern,.in the St. Louis Repub
lic tells an amusing story of an incident
which occurred a. few years ago, when
he played the , parv of a tramp in Sol
Smith Russell's- comedy, "Edgewood
Folks." . -'- ' -
It was during as- unusually severe
winter that the company was lulled to
open a tiew theater at.Mauch Chunk,
Pa. Mauc-h Chunk is the most pictur
esque spot in the American Switzer
land, as that section of the country is
called. The event was an important
one to the good people of this thrivieg
town, who naturally looked upon tie
proprietor as a very important person
age. In fact, every attache of the house
came in for his dose, of extra respect,
even the doorkeeper back of the stage,
who was in consequence fully im
pressed with thedignity and impor
tance of his position.
As had been stated, Mr. Bond was en
gaged to play the part- of a tramp ia
realistic a hobo as ever trod the stage
or the streets. The actor's make-up
was capital, as those remember who
saw "Ed ee wood Folks. After making
up, Mr. Bond came upstairs to wait for
his cue. He took a position near the
right second entrance, where he could
seethe people on the stage. He noticed
thatthedoork eeper ey ed b i m su spi cious
ly, but became so absorbed in the act
ing of his friend Sol, that he paid no
attention to the glare of the bespec
tacled guardian of the stage entrance. .
Suddenly & heavy hand was laid on
the greasy collar of his -coat, accom
panied by a jack that lifted him fairly
off his fet and whirled him through
the air toward the back exit; then a
door was opened," and with & well-di-

rected kick and a forward heave, poor
Bond flew out into the-alley directly
into a snowdrift.
Take that, y sneakin hobo! "yelled
the doorkeeper, a great, husky fellow,
who slammed the door immediately he
had thrown Bond out.
The actor wallowed out of the snow
drift, in an agony of fear that he would
miss his entrance. He pounded wildly
at the door, which was bolted now, and
yelled for admission. But there was no
response, and the pseudo tramp shiv
ered as much from stress of mind as he
did frortTthe nipping air and the melt
ing of the snow which had gotten into
the tatters of his make-up.
Mearwhile came Bond's cue. Russell
looked around, walked to the wings and
back again, and tried his best to hide
the accident. Every body " was on the
alert, and it was onlr during tlietjill
